Couch, gotluck, and myself have all come to an understanding. This phone is a decent upgrade that comes at the same price point as last year. You are the only one still trying to debate this. With so many people already in agreement, if you are going to try and argue your point, you are the one who needs to tell me why it doesn't fit in the average upgrade category. You are now the odd man out, yet you have no basis for your argument.
Sure, although I've already argued some of these points, I'm assuming you didn't have your glasses on, or failed to read my posts. I do like that you copped out of answering by putting the spotlight on me, classic stuff man.
Let me quantify that these upgrades are HUGE for myself and the way I use my phone, part of my entire point is how valuable an upgrade is depends on the user and what they need. I can go into each usage scenario and tell you why they are great upgrades for me if you require that information.
Battery life, a couple of hours more of talk time is huge for me.
Storage size, huge, 16gb just isn't enough for me
LTE, I think this one is universally huge, but that's my opinion
touchless google now, huge once again from someone who misses Siri
Gorilla glass 2 to 3, manufacturer claims 3x durability
snapdragon quad @ 1.5ghz with adreno 320 vs. snapdragon quad @ 2.3ghz with adreno 330
Hall effect presumably to be used for magnetic covers
Bluetooth 4.0 low energy, I use Bluetooth a LOT.
I've mentioned many of these things before though, so not much new there in my train of thought.
Once again, since you keep dodging the question, and since I answered your question:
Define:
Average upgrade
Decent upgrade
Mind blowing upgrade
Earth shattering upgrade
Small spec bump
Huge upgrade
Odd man out back to you my friend, although I don't think it ever left you.
