I've found the overall performance to be more consistent/better. The "better" part is a bit moot as every time I buy a new phone, the performance should be better than the last one just because it's newer technology.
And while there are a lot of things I don't like, core performance kind of overshadows any other issues I have or features I'm missing out on. Perhaps I should have said "better for my needs" instead of "better product."
Are these values inclusive of the 60 minute nonsense?
