50 Reasons Why The Galaxy S3 Is Better Then The iPhone 5

Register to hide this ad
See...it wasn't too hard to start your own thread about S3, is it?! Now, you can post your crap here instead of my thread. Thanks.

What i am really liking is the upcoming LG Nexus 4 (release on 11/13/12)...quad core Snapdragon S4 PRO (not the A9 dual core crap), next gen IPS full RGB LCD HD (no SAMOLED nor Pentile crap!), 2GB RAM, 8MP camera, 4.2 software, and pure Nexus experience (and more frequent updates)..........and the pièce de résistance: price of $349 (16gb) no-contract. $349 + Straight Talk = mighty fine bargain!!!!

See: The Nexus 4: Google's flagship phone lands November 13th for $299 | The Verge

THAT would be my Android handset of choice currently.

Dude, theres a couple on here, that no matter what, the iphone is better, no matter what proof you have, just as in politics, some people will ALWAYS vote for hussein :confused:
Im just glad I have them on ignore, lol

Ignore? I'm not familiar with this feature.

Then again I've never been one to hide and run from disagreements.

In the end it also makes you as stubborn as those you're saying are stuck on a phone...which makes you a hypocrite to boot.

Haha.

We finally agree ndcent. Never used Ignore. Why? It's the freaking net...if you get offended over the net, then you got really thin skin. Would i ever Ignore Koz? Hell no, i love reading his misguided rant!

I wonder if 04rnr or KOZ will LIKE your post as they did when you were arguing with me?

(Shhhs...04rnr does not really know the definition of "hypocrit"...clearly shown in his signature!)

See, my unbashfulness and "passion" bring people together in a single cause to burn me alive! :reddance: Without me, you guys would eat each other alive!

You're welcome. :D

Man, i am impress with LG Nexus 4! The Qualcomm S4 PRO seems like a nice processor: http://www.androidauthority.com/snapdragon-s4-pro-vs-exynos-4412-benchmarks-127274/

It mostly beats out Exynos from Samsung. Both are the newest quad cores for smartphones/tablets.

How does the new S4 PRO compare to Apple A6? Here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410034,00.asp

You can compare the numbers b/w the two articles. (Hint: A6 beats them all...despite being a mere dual core processor with 3 GPU cores running at a mere 1.0-1.3 Ghz.) :)

Just for you Koz:

In iPhone video above (in my post), reason #26...how do i get that?? Scroll to 6:05 in the video for reason #26.
 
I don't have a dog in the smart phone fight but have never been a fan of apple's reality distortion field based on my interaction with products a decade and more ago.

Anyway, I thought this user comment was interesting and kind of humorous. Don't know how accurate it it.

real world tests
I conducted some real world tests:
bluetooth file transfer speed:
Iphone5: 0
SGS3: much more than 0

time to assign song as ringtone:
iphone5: about 2 minutes with itunes, about 5 mins if I have to boot PC and start itunes. much more than that if I haven't downloaded itunes.
SGS3: under 1 second.

attaching a file to email
iphone5: wtf is a file?
SGS3: around 10sec

downloading some pr0n
iphone5: there's no pr0n on the net
SGS3: download in progress

battery swaps
iphone5: about 10 mins if you are good with tools
SGS3: about 30 seconds with blindfold on

Swapping SD cards:
iphone5: what sd card
SGS3: fiddly but possible with just one hand and a chin

sharing a URL via barcode
iphone5: highlight and copy URL from browser, open barcode app, paste URL in barcode app. about 20seconds or so.
SGS3: menu--->share--->barcode. about 3 seconds if you pause 1 second between clicks.

I could write a book on this!

Apparently speed isn't one of them. From the same people as the other video.

What a world we live in where we can't wait an extra mili-second for something/anything to happen. Even though I am an impatient person, I'd choose to wait the extra time for the GS3. That is, if I even cared enough to update my old phone, which I don't.

I still think the whole phone conversation comes down to user interface and what you want out of your phone. I know there are people out there that will swear one is better than the other. But to me, it is just a phone, not a status symbol or accessory. Just a means of communication that (most of the time) I choose to leave at home or in the car because I don't want to be that accessible.

We all know your preference...so, why act innocent? You must surely see that the person JB posted about do care about seconds as do most folks.

But, to your point, couldn't you say that about anything? 3rd gen vs. 4th gen 4runners...they are just cars...why does it matter that its crawl ratio is 34 vs. 28? What does it matter that a BMW M3 makes it to 60 mph in 4.8 vs. 5.1 in the IS350? Why does it matter that the new Prius can get 50 mpg while the older one only 46 mpg?

What a world we live in, isn't it...according to Dusty....

Because it does matter...it may not be a big deal on the surface, but down low, how a processor spits out information means a world of difference, not in just opening or closing an app, but how well a game (or an app) operates...how well the graphics gel together into one frame...how well it downloads information or spits them out to a site...how smooth the sky looks scrolling thru on a game...how the colors don't stutter from frame to frame....

If your anything like me and you use your phone probably 50+ times a day those seconds add up.

JB, some of what you posted CAN be done on an iPhone. You are stating false information.

not sure how you could do it in under 1 second... it takes me about 2 minutes to download and assign a ringtone on itunes from my phone. that includes browsing for the song... so he is saying that he can download and assign a song in under 1 second? right

and porn... really? since when does the iphone block out porn? i know for a fact mine doesn't :naughty:
