my problem with the Samsung phone wasn't only feel but that they Android version just felt sluggish and not very responsive. In addition to that, I've pretty much decided that everything clearly above 5" is too big for my long-term taste.
i just came across the Sony Z3 Compact - any opinions on that?
Regarding the HTC One W8 - I like it but I don't think I can live with the keyboard long term...so unless Windows 8 will allow 3rd party keyboards, I think I'm not sold
So...I need some input. I've been jumping from phone to phone lately, here's the history:
My usage: 70% emails, messaging for work (Exchange server/365 office), 25% web & video, 5% music & games. I get between 150 and 300 emails and messages per day and talk 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours on the phone...
its in german but might help: http://www.computerbase.de/2014-08/haswell-e-spiele-gegen-ivy-bridge-e/
basically there is no difference between 40 and 28 lanes.
