But I gotta admit that I came away from doing the test feeling like getting a ZTE Geek would be a pretty good move. The difference is really very subtle.
However, graphical applications with more artifacts and aliasing issues might be a different story...
ps. an interesting fact is that the 1080p pictures, unlike the 720p ones, got rendered in 2 stages, first with less detail (720p ish) and then in full detail. Another downside since it creates another visual artifact that disturbs the picture temporarily.
Try taking your dad's GT99 and looking at the exact same images from the same distance side by side with your phone. Your dad's GT99 will be 326. See if you can see the difference in curves and edges. On my H7500+ (294), it's impossible to see any sort of jags or pixelization.
Anyways, you made a good point regarding Antutu. There comes a point where current Android simply doesn't run any smoother. I mean to say, I wouldn't trade in your phone for a ZTE Geek for Antutu score alone. Unless you're encoding video or need the extra gaming juice you likely won't notice much of a difference, if any, regarding general Android butter.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
