For now, being on “the top” of the smartphone world means you have in your possession, one of a few select phones packing a 1GHz Snapdragon processor inside. Only a few short years ago, such power in the palm of your hands was nothing more than a dream. My how times change. The technology world as we all know doesn’t stay in one place for very long.
