iphone 5 OR Samsung Galaxy S3?


Recommended Posts

She asked for advise between 2 specific models

What's good between a Ferrari and a Porsche? I won't be driving fast... actually I've never driven a car before. I just want to drive around the block to get groceries. Help????

Oh and I won't get the chance to try any before I buy so I'm just diving into fanboy world.

And that's how fanboys (girls) are created.

The S3 is a good device and has some awesome features .. but you will only be able to take advantage of them if your friends also have S3's. If you are a conformist, the iPhone is the way to go. It's easier to use and a lot more stable then the Android OS.

YA all my friends have iphones only my boyfriend has the S3 and he has made me want it but idk! i like both a lot! i just know i will never watch a tv show and surf the internet at the same time on my phone, id rather do that on my laptop with a bigger screen,so idk if i need the s3

hey hey hey, no need to be rude here :/ I want a smartphone for the camera,gps,group txting,apps,etc. i have a stupid feature phone right now and it sucks when i get messages from friends and they show up as blank picture messages if someone sends a mass text and people reply to it!

Again, my piece of advice to you: Go to the store and try the phones yourself. Spend an hour or two shopping around and ask questions. Pretend that you will buy the phones on the spot like that you will get the sellers to explain everything in detail. I've seen way too many fanboys get created from threads like these. You only get to see one side of the coin if you don't see both types of phones and that's what sucks the most.

While its cool to be in the "in crowd", I think both of those are overkill for your purpose. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 would be a great phone for your needs, its fast for a mid-range phone and its very pocketable. Plus accessories are available on amazon. If you want a higher end model, the Galaxy S2 and Google Nexus 4 are great options.

Between the S3 and iphone 5 its a close call, the S3 is better value for money, the iphone 5 is smaller and lighter. The S3 has expandable memory, which is great if you want to put lots of music on it. Some people prefer ios others prefer android, that's quite a personal choice.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GUYS THIS IS SUCH A HARD DECISION!! The iphone 5 is big and wont fit in my pocket all the way like the iphone 4S does ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

the S3 is bigger!

I KNOW! SO IF IT WONT FIT IN MY BACK POCKET SHOULD I JUST GET THE S3? AHHHHHHH IDK ANDROID IS HARD TO USE IM NOT A NERD I CANT DO IT

From everything you are saying, it sounds like you should get the iPhone. The S3 is better then the iPhone 5. You can get a phone and you have 14 days to exchange it on most carriers.

I still don't see how you can say the Iphone 5 has a much better screen, when everything else says the contrary....

Everybody? There are plenty of reviews that say otherwise:

I have an iPhone 5 and S3 sitting in front of me right now, and the S3 screen is pixilated and looks like absolute crap compared to the 5. It also suffers from oversaturation, but not as bad as the S2 was.

The S3 is big and bright, but quality-wise, it's mediocre at best.

Based on your comments, get the iPhone 5. I just know you'll be happier with it.

That being said, I own an S3 and think it's great, I've had iPhone since 2007 and I'm so happy I made the switch to Android! Now if they would just give me an update to Jelly Bean!!!

The S3 has expandable storage through microSD, the iPhone has fixed storage. So, ultimately, you'd have more storage space on the S3.

This would be a huge issue for me but not for my wife, who would be fine with fixed storage. I guess it depends on your needs.

GUYS! THE S3 IS ON SALE FOR $50 AT STAPLES TODAY. can the s3 and iphone send emojis back and forth?????

You have to download GO SMS pro and the emoji plugin. It's possible with future updates with Jellybean etc this will be integrated.

If you aren't tech savvy, I suggest you buy iphone 5. But I know they had some quality control issues with manufacturing with this new model.

Since ur bf has S3 you can do the tap to transfer stuff. But S3's updates are slower than apple.

If you will be with your bf for a long time, maybe he can help you with technical support later on...

Getting a commission based seller to explain things to you can created the wild fan boy too. Best thing to do is to keep the sales guy out of your decision making process because they're more likely to push whatever will get them the higher commission.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GUYS THIS IS SUCH A HARD DECISION!! The iphone 5 is big and wont fit in my pocket all the way like the iphone 4S does ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then why not get a 4s, or stick with it if you already have it? It sounds like you just want something new and shiny.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
