Well yes and no. People keep saying this and in a way it&#x27;s true but spec-wise, there are differences.<p>For example, Galaxy S4 launched more than 2 years ago, like 2.3 years or w&#x2F;e. It has half an inch bigger screen, higher screen-to-body ratio (smaller bezels), twice the pixel density (the ZTE&#x27;s is about 30% less than the 5 year old iphone 4&#x27;s density for example, it&#x27;s not insignificant).<p>Then the S4 had the Snapdragon 600, the ZTE has a 400. (i.e. S4 has a faster CPU and faster GPU, with all the ramifications you can imagine).<p>S4 has double the ram. That isn&#x27;t as significant when making android vs ios comparisons (as they handle everything differently), but android vs android, double the ram (1 to 2) is a big deal.<p>S4&#x27;s camera has almost 3x as many MP on the back and autofocus, better front camera, too, and higher resolution images and video.<p>And then there&#x27;s all the S4 stuff that is useful to some, not to others. Like more sensors (temperature, humidity, gestures, wireless charging etc).<p>And lastly, 2600 mAh battery vs 2100.<p>Pretty similar for the 2012 Galaxy S3, too. The S2 from 2011 seems to actually be considerably worse in some areas, or equal, than the ZTE.<p>Of course it&#x27;s pretty insane we&#x27;re even making comparisons between phones that cost 10% the price 2-3 years ago. That&#x27;s the significance. But I wouldn&#x27;t say they&#x27;re similar to 2 year old flagships.
