Oh yeah, I totally acknowledged that!
I thought that Playbookster wouldn't lie about the results of current flagships and I had the problem that I couldn't verify the iPhone 5s scores under Geekbench 2, because the one in my direct environment only runs GB 3.
But you apparently got something completely wrong and are making a fool out of yourself right now, because apart from the iPhone 5s (and the GB2 scores still don't make sense, because it's the only phone I encountered that has worse GB2 than GB3 scores and the 5s scores very highly in other benchmarks) PlayBookster got it completely wrong, with everything else.
He used a Nexus 4 and a HTC One from last year, called them current flagships and compared them with the Z30.
As has been shown, and I am sure that you can find the links, the Nexus 5 and the Sony Z1 both score about 3700 points in GB2 and the Z30 scores about 2400.
Since the hardware of the Sony and Nexus is the state of the art hardware for current flagships, also employed in the new windows phones with the name Nokia Lumia 929 and 1520, we can conclude that every current flagship will score about the same amount of points.
As you said, we have to use what we have and as I have already shown in another post, we do have GB2 scores for some current flagships.
There were exactly 2 possibilities:
1) PlayBookster confused GB2 with GB3 scores.
2) He lied about the results.
He never had his facts correct, apart for the iPhone 5s scores. Since he repeatedly said that the Z30 is on par with current flagships, you shouldn't defend the undefendable, because it doesn't get any more wrong than that.
GB2 uses an index, which means that the performance scales linearly with the amount of points you get.
Double the points translates to twice the performance and the Sony Z1 or the Nexus 5 having about 1.6 times more points than the Z30, means that they have 1.6 times more performance.
As you said in your closing: we must use what we have.
We have have scores from current flagships, but they completely contradict your and PlayBooksters beliefs.
We can clearly say that contemporary high-end phones outperform the Z30.
As I said in another post:
I apologise for giving PlayBookster the benefit of the doubt, that he wouldn't lie about the score under Geekbench2, for current Android flagships.
But 3700 points (Nexus 5) is clearly superior to 2400 points (Z30).
