I'm planning on buying an xpeira ion. It has everything that I need. I especially want this model because this is the only phone within my budget that gives a 12 megapixel camera(and I'm very particular about this. I won't settle for anything less than 12).However, I'm very concerned about the processor. A 1.5 ghz dual core sounds decent but I have to consider the fact that it's a relatively old snapdragon s3.So my question: Is this phone, considering how power hungry all new apps are, good enough for the next 3 years? And will all new apps run smoothly? Also, how good is this phone's processing & graphics power when compared to the iphone 5? Thanks a lot in advance!
