Nowadays, many people are talking about Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5, because these were the most victorious phones of 2012, but the question is which one is better? I have been researching on the subject for many weeks, and during my research I compared the two phones according to their design, screen, software, apps and storage to provide you valuable information that can help you in choosing the right phone. Let’s take a look:
Design:
These two phones are very different in design. The iPhone 5 is 7.6 mm thick, and has a metal casing, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S3 is 8.6 mm thick, and has a plastic casing. Steel was used in the previous iPhone 4s for its metallic parts, but the usage of aluminium in iPhone 5 has made it lighter. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is a plastic bodied phone with a removable rear battery cover.
Screen:
Both phones have terrific screens. The iPhone 5 has 1,136 x 640p resolution, and the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a resolution of 1,280 x 720p. The most important thing is screen technology. The iPhone 5 uses an IPS screen, whereas Samsung Galaxy S3 employs a Super AMOLED panel.
Software:
The iPhone 5 runs i0S version 6, which is simple, but a bit restricted. Apple uses its own mapping solution instead of Google Maps, but it’s not good, because it contains outdated and plainly wrong info. Nevertheless, now Google Maps have been launched as a separate app for iPhones. The Samsung Galaxy S3 offers a number of features in addition to what iPhone 5 has to offer.
Apps:
The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses Android software, while the iPhone 5 uses the latest i0S released. There are numerous apps available for both the phones in the apps store. Nevertheless, if you enjoy user-friendliness, then the iPhone 5 is best for you because it supports all apps in the app store. Also, all iPhone 5 apps are tested and scanned by the Apple store, so there is no chance of getting any virus during installation. Conversely, the Samsung Galaxy S3 does not support all apps designed for Android phones, and it is an open source software, so all apps in the store are not considered secure.
Storage:
The iPhone 5 is available with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, but there is no method to augment the internal memory of an iPhone 5. If you want more storage, you will have to use cloud storage. The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes in a small number of storage capacities in the UK. The big advantage of using the Samsung Galaxy S3 is that we can expand the memory with a micro SD memory card.
It’s a hard decision to select a phone between iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. The iPhone 5 is user-friendly and suitable for those people who are not much interested in technology. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is right for tech addicts, because of its number of exciting features and limitless possibilities to customization. If you are a game lover, then you should go for iPhone 5, but if you want to listen to songs on your phone, then Samsung Galaxy S3 is best for you, because it has a better media player with excellent codes.
There are many other things that should be considered while choosing a phone, but I mentioned some of them, and I hope the above-mentioned information will help you a lot in selecting the right phone.
