S3 has FAR better tech specs, in almost every category. It has a nice huge screen for movies, and you can multi task with apps. It's a powerful device and can compete with the App store (the Play Store.) iPhone is for a casual user, simple interface. So if you're someone who uses smartphones for more than just your occasional uses S3 is the way to go.

iDon't need an app to make fart noises. There's an ass for that.

Well, in all seriousness it all depends on what you're looking to do. Both have positives and negatives. You know what to expect from an iPhone 5, it's almost the same iteration as the previous models. Android phones are always changing and getting better.

Another thing to think about is all of Googles services work on any device. So for instance, if you get a movie from the play store, you can watch it on your Android device, tablet, Windows PC, Mac, whatever. Apple services are only limited to Apple devices.

I personally like freedom and choice. I go with GS3 from the two that you mentioned.

The iphone literally has nothing on the galaxy in terms of specs, and it came out like a year later.

Good job apple.

Just get an S3, or if you want to save some money get an S2, it's still better than the iphone 5 in terms of specs.

Funny how it better specs and the iPhone 5 still beats it in benchmarks.

IOS isn't as customizable, but it's a hell of a lot more stable, optimized, and has a much better App Store. Seriously, the google play store is crap compared to the apple App Store.

Edit: fixed typo

I see only a few posts actually explaining why they think a certain phone is better than the other.

  • 12.16.2012 6:09 AM PDT

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

Android is an unfinished, horrible, uneasy, piece of crap full of lag. iPhone is the complete opposite.

iPhone looks nicer too.

The Galaxy is just way too -blam!- big and clunky. Even the iPhone 5 is too big for me but the Galaxy S is ridiculous. It's like a mini tablet.

  • 12.16.2012 6:21 AM PDT

Lol@ people in here thinking high specs on a droid phone makes it better than the iPhone.

My bro has a GSIII and I have an Iphone 5.

My phone is more streamlined and smoother with a better app store, while his has more customization and identity.

I still prefer the Iphone.

And you know why? because every android phone so far and every android OS has been imperfect in many areas. Every Iphone model and iOS version has been streamlined for a much more friendly experience. That's why Apple products are famed for a glitch free experience and ease of use.

That, and the App store is better. You cant deny it.

The S3 came out 30 May I think and the iPhone 5 on 21 September here.

You'll probably be best comparing the results here with reviews and discussion on other websites as well, OP. Also the specs on paper are not only what you should take into account, benchmarks represent the CPU etc in action.
