There's no arguing that the S3 is superior to the iPhone 5 hardware wise. The only thing even slightly arguable between the two is the OS, but I personally prefer Android over iOS so I would say S3 all the way.

Really isn't as big of a difference as some people think. Apple's iPhone is in general considered to be better optimized, so it doesn't need fancy quad-cores and the like.

Benchmark.

The iPhone 4S has an average Geekbench score of around 600, so the iPhone 5 is more than twice as fast - which tallies with Apple's performance claims.

Relevant quote for people saying iPhone 5 is a rebranded iPhone 4S. Don't be a dumb hater.

The Galaxy S4 and Iphone 5S are being announced soon. I would wait.


I move back to campus in about a week, so I will need a phone by then sadly.

Good read. It's not necessary to have all that extra power if the optimization is maximized enough.

I upgraded to the iPhone 5 recently after having the 4 since launch. I tried out both the S3 and iPhone 5, and I will recommend you to do the same. You might love the 5 better, or you might love the S3.

I think the S3 is great and all, but I think Samsung tried to cram too many features into it. I am no stranger to technology, but I still feel like I enjoy the simplicity of the iPhone better.

After two years, my iPhone 4 has finally broken. The connector no longer works, and the speakers are shot. So here is my predicament. Should I upgrade to the iPhone 5 or switch over to the Galaxy S3? I've never used an Android OS before, but I wouldn't have any problems getting used to it. My main factors are speed, battery life, and quality of apps.

What do you think Flood?


Would you recommend getting an iPhone? I'm debating to switch over to Verizon from T-Mobile.

I really enjoyed my time with the iPhone 4. Very simple and very powerful. They can be a bit over hyped, but it's still a damn good phone. However, my iPhone 4 struggled a bit when iOS6 was released. It ran a bit slower when launching apps and music. The iPhone 5's improved hardware should have no trouble running it though.

I've had my cell phone for going on 3 years and apart from a few scratches on the screen it's in pristine condition. How do people go through expensive phones so quickly? It's no wonder everyone hates America's consumerism.

Definitely the S3.

Once you go Android, you never go back. You'll figure out why when you get one.

>finally kicked the bucket

Does anyone else remember back when phones would last more than a year or 2?

  • 01.07.2013 3:05 PM PDT

Based on your priorities, looks like the iPhone 5 is for you.

  • 01.07.2013 3:06 PM PDT

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

It amazes me how quick people are breaking phones these days
-_-

My last phone was around for 5 years, and the one prior to that had 4 years of use. Both are still in working condition, I switched them out due to their age...

Wait, OP, a $400-600 piece of technology has broken nigh on completely after two years of use; and you're seriously considering buying another product from the same company?

Wow, just wow. Congratulations Apple on your bloody wondrous marketing.

iPhone 5S? God dammit. And people will buy it too. It will literally be the same phone as the 5, which was basically the same as the 4S.

People are so stupid.


Yes, LITERALLY be the same. -blam!-ing idoiot


Apple must be the only company in the world that HAS to add something completely exotic and new every year while other phone companies all they have to do is put a stupid huge screen and a XxXxxxxxXXXXXXXXXxxxxxTWELEVE CORE FUKSHT MEGA XEONxXxXxxxXxxx with dat dere battery life of 4 hours
