What smartphone should I get?

Do you even computer.
That is really all I care to say to an ignorant comment like that.
Faster processor = better: responsiveness, multitasking, background performance, everything that relies on the cpu to get work done will behave and perform better due to advantages the S8 has over the S6 processor.

There's just one problem there. Who the forget uses a phone when you have a computer...

can you reread what you said and realize why a phone exists

I don't use phones because I don't really go anyway all the time. I have a small blackberry and that's good enough for me when it comes to messaging. Nice plan under $50. I do all my work at home no problem on a wired godly connection.

Sorry if I was criticizing mobile devices I just think that having all these features you're never going to use is pointless.

usually if you have a popular phone like the ones you listed there are very lightweight roms that can make even stuff phones run well

but either way yeah you're right

Huh. The phones I listed have notably tweaked roms, the only one that is running a stock experience would be the Nexus 5. EX: Htc phones have HTC sense, unless you buy the "google play" version of the device.

There is a linux kernel in development that would allow newer iterations of android to run on devices with 500 mb of ram or less, I think it might be released with android 5.0. I'm just guessing though. Then again you could always flash a custom rom onto your phone if you know what you are doing.

thats what i was referring to, custom roms. also im pretty sure 4.4 is optimized for low end devices with 512mb of ram

It's pretty useful to have a mini-computer in your pocket wherever you go.
Then again, you don't go anywhere.

Sadly it isn't, Android 4.4 is using the 3.4 linux kernel. The kernel I was referring to is the 3.8 beta kernel.
I'm sure you can install android 4.4 onto a device with less than 1 gb of ram, however it is not optimized for such conditions.
