What about next Jolla phone with MTK 6595 inside? (AnTuTu Benchmark ~50 000 score)

Talking purely hardware not driver support (another important topic!), I guess we face the same issue here as with the screen size. Some feel that a large screen estate is good for their purposes and others feel the current size is perfect and some have stated they'd prefer a smaller size. Its a matter of taste.P ersonally, I'd choose the most energy efficient choice (i.e., quick at race to low power states yet not draining energy overly proportional) over the most powerful one. I can understand the longing for more power however. :-)

Additionally, the Jolla ecosystem seems to be less focused on power-hungry applications such as games, personally another reason for a "good enough" choice.

Now concerning the feature set: YES! Please please please something that works on 3G and 4G networks in the US, 2G is.... well... 2G.

As said elsewhere, Mediatek make some wonderful chips at incredible prices, but as good as their engineers are, their managers must not be very bright, since drivers are not made public. Things are changing now that people are moving toward CyanogenMod-based Android phones, that are updated on a daily basis, rather than being stuck with ancient Android releases. Anyway, until Mediatek officially start releasing driver sources, unfortunately Sailfish will only be available for Qualcomm SOCs.

I think we don t need best hardware to finish in comparison with others phone. We need the hardware that allow us work best with excellwnt battery life. We need to make better software than better hardware. I think this is the way. This Jolla works better than a One Plus One (boot comparison, open media files..) but it s not a 2.5 Ghz Snap... ;-)
