This was in my mind for quite a long time, watching people go crazy over processing power of the phones and they go to an extent where they decide which phone to buy usually based on this, I might add that the processing power plays a vital role in how a smartphone works for example smoothness of the UI, games, multitasking etc but its a game of cat and mouse with more power comes greater chance of your battery getting drained and that is the exact reason why most of the android phones discharge so quickly. I mean how good a phone is with 2 Ghz processor and tens of cores if it switches off before you finish your day?
For a case in study let us consider Apple Iphone 5(Obviously) which has 1.2 Ghz dual core processor with 1440 mAh battery and Samsung galaxy S3 with its 1.4Ghz quad core processor with 2100 mAh battery both the phones last 50 hours in the endurance test(as done by gsmarena) and have comparable graphics reproduction and screen.
Moral of the story, it doesn't matter how fast the cpu is but how well the hardware and software has been synchronised. So next time you buy a phone keep a thought that processor is just a another piece of the puzzle and not the whole picture.
Comparison between the two phones mentioned above:
