that is because it is,it being a later model has a better spec. will it be better than the iphone 5 I would guess yes going off the back that every new iphone release they have a lesser spec to the current android phone. read multiple reviews on the web and you will see that the s3 comes out on top,

"The Samsung Galaxy S3 4.8” Super AMOLED screen with the 1280x720p resolution is pretty unbeatable. The iPhone 4S’ 3.5”, 960x640p display is Retina, but still doesn’t come close. better screen

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a shade lighter than the iPhone 4S, at 133g to 140g. However, the iPhone’s size makes it more hand and pocket compatible. The iPhone 4S feels more high-end than the S3 thanks to the choice of exterior materials, so Apple has it on the design front. OK so the design wins but that is a personal taste but well done for making a product that looks good but what about function

The S3 has a Qualcomm quad-core chip (international version) and a dual-core in the US. It has 1GB of RAM internationally and 2GB in the US. The iPhone 4S has a sparse 512MB and an 800MHz dual-core processor. It’s an obvious win for the S3 again. again better

While both phones have 8MP rear cameras, the S3 1.9MP front camera trounces the 0.3MP Apple offering. The S3 also benefits from zero shutter lag and burst mode – both cameras have the same camera sensor – but the extra bells & whistles put the S3 in front.oh again better

The iPhone 4S non-removable battery is 1,420mAH, while the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a removable 2,100mAh battery. This battery gives three times as much talking as the iPhone’s, and the S3 also has support for an external micro SD card, as well as LTE and NFC, all missing in the iPhone"sorry but again is that better"


in the real world can you tell the difference the quad core makes etc may be may be not, depends on how techie you are. can you notice the difference in screen yes, can you notice the speed it loads things, yes but end of the day its just a tool to call and text people can they both do that, yes so who cares its horses for courses and I have tried both for a long duration of time and I know which suits me best

I am talking spec related / figures / power, not to mention replaceable battery, sd card, the fact you can share music and pictures a lot easier on an android phone not software needed, no file conversions, has near enough the same apps and market place, so how is it not better

what does the Iphone do better?

 

I don't care, what are you doing on this thread?

 

My S2 battery lasts 2-3 days if I just leave it, what you need to do is clear all the apps running in the background, hold the home button, pulls them all up, swipe them off, presto, gone better battery life

 

What is it like for internet browsing?
My HTC Desire S is out of contract soon and I may just upgrade to the S2. Got to be had for £15 a month due to the S3 being out now.

 

I am no apple fanboy but have had a 3G and currently have a 4. Overall it feels like a quality built device which for the most part it is. Only gripe I have had is with the home button sticking which is common due to build up of dirt. iTunes does get on my **** especially with 2 of us have iPhones. Sometimes you just have no idea what will happen when you connect your phone to itunes. The monthly costs weren’t so bad when the wife was working for O2 and getting us all a third of line rental but she doesn’t work there anymore so I am loathe to pay £40 a month for a phone.

I may have to try an S3 just to see what all the fuss is about. If I can live with the size of the thing.

One thing I do like about iphones is the 2nd hand value. My 3G sold for £210 on ebay at 18mths old. Easily pays for your next handset as I personally don’t think any of these phones are built to last much more than 2yrs with daily usage.

 

Shouldn`t 9/12 be reduced to 3/4 ? (I checked it on my S3)

 

Seems there's no YouTube App for iOS6 either

 

Also just read Apple are take a polish grocery to court because their web address might confuse people.

http://www.a.pl

Really?!

 

New Youtube app came out today. Works OK but looks a bit unpolished, apparently it's a port of the Android version… which makes sense. I prefer the web site.

 

There's meant to be a new one from Google today too, but I can't see it on Play.

 

Problem is you still need Flash for most of their content on the Youtube site. HTML5 content is still on trial and only a small proportion of their content.

 

You're a fool.

 

The S3 is very good I dont have any issues with it, best handset ive owned by far, you even get use to its size (it fits nicely into your pocket, i dont see what the fuss is all about ).
The S2 is also good, not quite as polished as the S3, still a worthy handset to get and they should come down in price
Most of the guys at work have S2's and prefer them over the Iphone 4/4S.

Really, you're the one advising to get Flash.

 

Do you have something against Flash? There's a pack of dogs waiting to jump down your throat if you do.

I advise only loading it when needed. Personally I use click to plugin. Works great.

 

This article was an interesting read, def one to cause a stir!!

Load of tosh but an entertaining list of cliche's anyhow, as today is Apple day you can expect more. The good Journalists that I know are comparing being told to report on the Apple event as like being picked as a Tribute in the Hunger Games.

So, you have finally admitted that whilst the iPhone is very good, it's not the best and that Apple have ceased to innovate, just like a Porsche 911.......

Geezer

 

Only you would fail to see the irony in that article.

 

Hmm can't wait for Jack(Apple propaganda minister)Clarks reply to this

 

What you fail to understand is that I don't care about bigger numbers. My iPhone does things your Android can only dream about, not because it has bigger numbers, but because it's worth developing for.

 

Such as?

And try to be an adult about your reply rather than the politician who is incapable of answering a straight forward question you obviously are!

 

 

Professional music applications. Google need to rewrite Android before developers will even start working on apps for it.

Car audio, seen a car that supports Android, nope, me neither.

Those should be enough to get you going.

 

You mean like this one?

see I can use google to search for stuff aswell. I could go on but talking to you is like talking to a brick wall.

 

Pretty what it boils down to.

Plus now that Apple have had so much success it's "cool" to bash their products.

 

No, I don't mean like any of those. The first two are stereos running Android and the third is some sort of cludge box.

What I'm taking about is this

Just about every Car manufacturer offers similar integration for Apple and nothing for Android. Why is that?
