Imo, the tech has started to plateau, it's slowing down now. Consumers have been spoilt with what's been released in recent years, so any small upgrade is deemed as 'desperate' by the manufacturer. All well and good putting a super duper processor in the latest smartphone, but until the day mobile batteries can actually keep up with the tech, I'm going to take a step back.
I have a colleague, he's a total smartphone freak, since the beginning of the year he's on his 4th phone and already planning on the next. Iphone5 > Note2LTE > Xiaomi2 > HTC Butterfly.
I am very happy with my Note2, yes, even coming from my background. The only gripe I have with it is it likes to eat my SD cards, so I've given up on using one. That means I have less storage and have to do more maintenance like transfer photos often to my macbook.
