Please tell me why the S3 is better than an iPhone.

[badbrad17]

I like iTunes as a way to play music on my PC, that's it. I hated having to use it to do everything with my old iTouch. Never understood why I couldn't just drag and drop files.

I agree 100%. As a player its great. But for syncing and copying files it blows.

Funny how after all the things said in the numerous S3 vs i5 topics that have popped up recently THAT'S where they draw the line. haha

I guess that's because there's no such official thing as "true/full HD." But if you guys want to make up your own terminology and then make up your own definition for it, go for it, I think most everyone here knows the truth now. Based on that though, most of you aren't really watching HDTV on your flat panels at home, because as has been pointed out, much/most HDTV broadcasts are in 720p format.

The poster who pointed out that on our displays its a ridiculous argument are ALSO correct. In general, 720p resolution is considered to be as good as the human eye can perceive up to about 20-25 inch HDTV's, so 1080p buys you nothing at those sizes. 1080p does look better to the human eye on 47,532 and 55 inch (and larger) displays, but on your phone (of any kind!) it doesn't matter. The S3 is HD, and will display HDTV streams without CPU-hogging interpolation. The iPhone 5 will not.

Missed this. We're not making up the term Full HD. It is a byproduct of the name of the 1080p display resolution, which is FHD. True HD is a marketing term though.

I know. I wasn't trying to be a jerk just trying to call things the way they are. I get that we all have our own opinion and all that but if you line up some peoples comments you gotta wonder if they are on the payroll. I swear I the iPhone 6 could blow up in 1 in 10 peoples faces and there would still be arguing by some people on how it really doesn't. I had a friend who bought one of the first Mac book air laptops and it got really hot on his lap for days and eventually started smoking and died. Apple replaced no questions asked which was good but you would not believe how many apple fans refuse to believe this story. It doesn't make sense. Its just hardware made in China its not supernatural. Crazy.

Allow bias aside,ios isn't a bad operating system at all, in fact it's great for media players and tablets.

Phones on the other hand not so much.

My wife and I both own iPods and I'll be trading up for the new touch she wants an iPad, and I want a Mac.

She's getting me Apple tv as well, but I could never wrap my head around the phone.

I have my phone with me all the time and I refuse to use a phone that won't let me do what I want to do unless I jailbreak it and Cydia is confusing as f#@k!


I shouldn't have to jailbreak it to do things that should have came standard out the box.


I'm not an Apple hater at all, but I'm never buy an iPhone unless they give it to me free and then I'll sell it to buy the best android on the market.

IMO this shows that the plastic that the GS3 is made of would last longer in a critically damaging situation (Ex. Accidently dropping phone out of car, or something like that) compared to the iPhone 5

That was a funny video. It did look like the Samsung held up in the blender better but the tests I've seen show the iPhone 5 taking the beating better in drop tests than the sgs3 and much better than the 4s.

Yeah lol, I guess it depends on how its dropped...This blender guy is a rich spoiled idiot in my book though

I disagree that iOS is good for tablets but not phones. Most likely it would be the other way round. Tablets can take more advantage of androids flexibility than most phones can. Also, being so limited on iPads sucks.

The problem is that the tablet version of android pretty much sucked until JB. That and good tablet apps for android are nearly non-existent. Googles recent renewed focus should help though.

You're so right! Thank you. I came from a jaikbroken iPhone to an android gs3 and I love android and my galaxy!

Well people who toss their phone around like a baseball should go with the iPhone 5 then.

What are 2 different things? (There's a lot of stuff being discussed here haha)

I suppose to the OP, I still stand with the idea of this: for functionality, its pretty well known you won't be able to do near as much with the iphone 5 as most android devices (GS3). For shear value for your money you get so much more with the GS3 compared with the ip5.

Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world with a GS3 because I see so many iphones on campus but I've actually started seeing more GS3's. Just an interesting thought.
