Processor

The processor is perhaps the most complex component in a smartphone. Smartphones are built with a system-on-a-chip type of architecture as opposed to being socketed. The architecture combines many functions into one silicon piece such that the CPU becomes irreplaceable. You can go ahead to consider the numbers for core counts and clock speeds, but that will require too much research when comparing many options. A good idea would be simply to check the benchmark scores. There are many sites which give the benchmark scores of nearly all phone models so it should be fairly easy to get the information.
