I respect your opinion, and trust me I'm not judging, but that seems crazy to me. the processor is there to support the features and specs, and if the rumored ones are true, the 808 is more than capable of supporting this years Nexus. I'd understand if it was the 810, but the 808? I doubt you would even notice the difference BT that and the new 820.
I'm not a chip expert so it's good to learn more about how much better each chip is to the other. That's why I was thinking 808 isn't too far from the 800 on the current Nexus but I guess I'm wrong lol. Now are you happy if it's 3 gb ram? Would you want more for this device?
