megapixels and GHz numbers are truly irrelevant.

No cell phone lens on the market today can make enough detail to warrant more than about 4-8 megapixels. It doesn't matter how many pixels you carve the sensor into,

the physical size of the lenses imposes a diffraction limit of about 8 megapixels. Anything more is marketing fiction. I have a Sony HX50 camera with a far larger lens than any cell phone and even it can't produce more than about 8 megapixels of REAL detail. CPU clock speeds and even core counts are also nearly meaningless. Only real performance benchmarks tell you how fast the product is. And with

due to thermal design issues, the performance you get in the first minute using an app may be very different than what you get five minutes in, since power-hungry quad-core CPU's often have to crank down speed to avoid overheating.

And FWIW, Samsung has been caught gaming benchmarks by the people who measure that stuff. Basically, if you like a phone, buy it. Don't try to use meaningless statistics to justify your decision.
