I'm an owner of Galaxy S2 Global.. and here are my cents on the matter of GS3 and IP5,
Okay first I wanna talk about S3 I was honestly waiting for its release crazily with all the stupid rumors going around about it being so great and all but when it was released.. Damn was it the biggest disappointment I ever had.. The shape was absolutely disgusting.. I mean I loved S2 look but Screw apple and its law suites that have been whining around that they own the 'rectangle' shape in smart phones :/ more specifically 'round corners' I don't give a fuck about round corners its the rectangle shape I care about, I don't know if S3 was modified to avoid getting ban hammers in court but the ovalish shape really made it look bad, The color sucks.. pebble blue? ew and white I really don't like that color in phones..
anyhow S3 was a disappointment in looks, looks matter a lot to me then came the camera having no update at all.. but the things I liked about it were all the rest of the modifications.. more ram, more batt and lets not forget the new 'innovations' like eye sensor and quad core processor.. so in a way S3 was an okay release phone but was it worth moving to from S2? nah not really.. only one thing wanted me to get it and it was higher resolution but again a few apps that run on tablet resolution were not worth updating to S3.. now S2 was amazing in its time.. It was the beast of all Android phones.. but now things have evolved.. S3 is great in some senses but in others it completely disappointed for some people but that's because of preferences, for some s3 is awesome for others its not.. but S2 seemed to have satisfied everybody's demands back then it just didn't have 3D technology that didn't make much impression anyway.
For me, I already have s2 it has much of everything any other phone on the market has.. so I didn't get up and bought s3 however I'll definitely will be looking into s4 so yeah all you apple fan boys go suck on aluminum Iphone5 we'll be getting s4 sooner next year
while you guys wait in lines to get Iphone5.
anyhow now on IP5 vs S3 general points:
Comparing both right now is not gonna be fair, considering s3 sold 20 million copies vs just 5 million for now lets wait 100 days for an accurate comparison with all the bugs found,
Look:
S3 does look bad vs iphone5 when it comes to look, feel and build but eh nothing to worry about you can get many cases out there so lets move on to other points, Iphone 5 wins the round here for those that sensitive about looks like me, but some people actually love the S3 look so its a preference based point.
Performance:
benchmark test that came out sorry to say we need more comparisons for accurate results have to wait for more benchmark tests to come out but I'm kind of shocked to see Iphone beat S3 by a few points, however I'd like to add the facts of over clocking, and I'm pretty sure Quad Core will eventually beat a Dual core processor at one point especially when it comes to multitasking.. anyhow lets wait for more tests before jumping to conclusions. Remember S3 is still the beast in android phones in performance this year.
Battary:
Improved, interchangeable. S3 wins again, Iphone can now change battery but not like your regular phone battery with help of a technician
so now when you burn a battery out you can have it replaced instead of the whole phone but S3 still takes the lead because you can just have as many batteries you like so even if you run out on one you can put any other but over all S3 has a bigger screen which needs more power so yeah don't go trolling on me for that bigger screen is better btw but personal preference.
Resolution/screen size:
S3 winner
sorry the screen is still bigger but hey good for apple to finally have the sense to have a bigger screen.
Memory size:
S3 again.. winner its more flexable, Iphone 5 still no micro SD? shame on you.
Innovation:
Alright S3 is far MORE innovative then Iphone 5, the core claim of apple is its innovative but its all bullshit, Apple is only innovative in making sure it products are flawlessly attractive to common people that are not tech savvy, Iphone 5 still seems like a neanderthal comparing to other smarts phones when it comes to innovation, I mean come on closed battery, closed memory, closed operating system, closed design and it dares to call it self a smart phone?, Sure apple can go ahead and claim it was first to fish in the pond but it significantly failed to evolve, Thanks to all the monopoly for money going on why don't apply fan boys see this? Hell even the accessories are confined to its products I have never seen a product SO HOMOPHOBIC in my entire life.. the only thing I have in mind when I think about apple is I have to pay extra bucks for a phone that looks good feels good but is far primitive then its modern cousins when it comes to real tech savvy world.
anyhow enough of my rant, S3 came out with SOME innovation such as the eye sensor that automatically turns the phone on and off and some people LOVE IT to death actually, I've read people don't wanna move to any other phone just cause of this feature, looks like Samsung is getting brighter, in my conclusion just cause a phone that looks premium just cause its expensive well built and looks good doesn't mean its actually a good smart phone and Iphone 5 for a smartphone sucks in my eyes, but as phone great phone man 700 dollar phone you can just boast around about it by just that alone
sorry for the big post and whatever errors and typos XD
