I know both are totally different phones and I am not trying to compare them at all. But considering the price tag it is pretty much where iPhone 5 will be. So anybody sharing the same thought to compare S3 and iPhone 5 side by side to decide which one to buy.
By the way I was hoping that my next phone will be LTE capable. S3 is not there and I think iPhone may also not be since they have to manufacture specifically region specific. Any ideas if S3 plans to support LTE later
Thanks

It's always better to compare them side by side, but it's going to be a long wait, as the iPhone 5 probably isn't due for at least a couple of months. I'd rather be playing with a new phone, than waiting for an unannounced phone.
Hello ,I am too confused like you.I have aleardy SIII and don't know to sell and wait iPhone 5.But I decide to remain on SIII because this phone is really great don't have big problems with him and I don't know what to say about iPhone but if SII is better than iPhone 4-4S , probably this thing repeatly with SIII and iPhone 5.
Sorry Android>iOS
To be honest I can't stand the iPhone or its operating system. It will be super small a measly 4 inch screen that's even if the rumors are true. The S3 is 4.8. Android just works.... a ton better than iOS. I would never go back to an apple product. But if you like it go ahead and get. But i will point and laugh at you

What do you mean S3 isn't there? LTE will be on all North American and the NTT Docomo version plus 2 gigs of ram. If you want an answer on which device to buy, dont come to a thread dedicated to the iP5s biggest competitor and expect to hear any answers in favor of it. Just wait for the iPhones release and play with it side by side of the S3. My guess the only new thing in iOS 6 will be a trumped up lawsuit against Google.
Woa... Cool down guys.
I own a galaxy S and not too much of an apple fan as such.
The only reason I am relating them is due to the price tag for comparison. What's wrong in checking if there are people in the world sharing the same thought.
Not sure what part of it offends you. Do you think all ppl on this forum own a sgs3?? There are many ppl like me scanning This thread to make a choice.

I have iPhone 4S, GS2 and GS3 and I rarely use the iPhone.
GS2 in my opinion is better than iPhone 4S so I truly expect GS3 to still perform better when iPhone 5 is out.

You probably wont have to wait. Odds are Apple is going to show off the iPhone at WWDC 2012 which is June 11-15, and usually they release them to the public not to long after showing them off.
In Android world SGS3 will be outdated by the time iPhone5 and next Nexus comes out around October/November. In fact Samsung may have an updated Note or may be an upgraded SGS3 kind of device with super amoled plus HD, it's quite possible.
But the thing is SGS3 is available to buy now and it's an awesome device. There will be always better devices coming in the distant future after buying any device.
Also about the price tag $$800 for a device that does what Apple says or $800 for a device that does what you want it to. If you enjoy the customization of Android then go that route, if you want a phone that has seven hundred million accessories go with iPhone. But by all means don't base your decision on others' thoughts.
Frankly speaking go wid SGS 3 . By the time iPhone 5 will come out samsung wud ve already readied or in the process of readying SGS3 successor so u wud put the same question again Wait for SGS 4 ? Or go with iPhone 5.
If u want phone for fun go with sgs3 if u want a boring OS with almost similar maybe slightly better app support then go with iPhone 5
For all we know, iPhone 5 could be this juggernaut with 99999999 new features. But:
1) That's the thing: we don't know.
2) Considering that previous upgrades have been pretty much incremental (and indeed, they pride themselves on this and call it "consistency"), I wouldn't personally hold my breath. After all, apple has such product differentiation with their iSheep that they don't need to actively compete in order to maintain their sales. (This is to say nothing of their usage of litigation rather than competition.) But again, this is just my personal guess; they could have adopted a completely new strategy, for all I know.
What's well-known, though, is that other stuff would come out around that same time: the Note II, the Nexii to list the best known examples. Whether you want to wait for these is down to your preferences.
But the iPhone 5 itself is just a big black box. One that I don't think is worth holding your breath on.

Great thread
Being part of the Apple of family for many years, currently owning a MBP, new iPad, iPhone 4 and an Apple TV, I am in the same boat. My contract expires in a month and torn between waiting for the 5 or switching to android and the SGS III. Even if a little biased, this forum is one of my main daily sources to check and help me make up my mind.
So thats that, keep the opinions coming..
I had a 4S, then the Note and now the S3. The S3 is very grown up, better than the 4S in many ways and looks better. Personally I would get the S3 as its available now and is a great phone. When the 5 is available check it out. You can then decide if you want to sell.
Unless iOS 6 starts offering widgets and customisation to the extent of android then I would stay with android. If you use iTunes and have a lot of media then iPhone 5 might be better.

No, Apple cant now copy Android because it would mean that IOS sucks. SO homescreens on IOS would be an himiliation for Apple.

You're best staying with Apple as it sounds like you love that ecosystem. Throwing in another OS at this point could just bring complications unless you have a great urge for 100% customisation.
And I suspect an upgrade from a iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5 will be a lot more noticeable than 4 to a 4S.

I nearly chuckled when I saw this one.
I guess that means it must run Android then, because if it runs iOS it doesnt stand a chance of doing so..
Lets be frank here, it will look much the same as the current iPhone (boring), it will feel much the same to use (boring), it will be locked down and restricted like the current iPhone (boring), and will have the same (boring) baristas, emos are douches queueing up for it on day one. Ill pass.

At this point Apple buyers are like BMW buyers, they will buy any old ridiculous turd as long as it has the badge on, so really statements like this are just sermons for the iSheep, and pretty meaningless to the rest of us. As long as Apple makes it they will buy it, why? because Apples says its best and therefore it is. Its almost a religion now..
But dude, it has an apple logo.

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...
I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.
PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry
I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..
every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.
Looks like since Apple win the suit against Samsung, stores are reported the SGS3 out selling the iPhone and selling out completely.

I expected that the iPhone 5 would sell extremely well, but after the law suit I don't think they'll sell as well as they would have if the law suit didn't happen. My prediction is that they'll sell a lot at first but will not do as well as the 4S has.

Well for the first time ever, I won't be getting Apple's latest iPhone. Simply can't see knowing Apple's past minor upgrades that iPhone 5 will beat my galaxy s3.
It's because iPhone 5 is about to be released.
When iPhone 5 gets released, it'll probably sell more in its first weekend than SGS3 did all the time since its release.

I don't know what you're smoking, but I want one too.
Samsung may outsell Apple, because they are selling very low quality cheap Android phones too. These phones naturally sell more than Apple phones, since Apple only makes premium phones.
On the premium market however, nothing outsells iPhone. Just get out of your house once, sunlight won't hurt you I promise. Look at the phones in people's hands. How many iPhones do you see, and how many SGS2's and SGS3's do you see?

You're probably from America, in Austria you see already more s3 than iphones (without counting s2 or other high-end android devices from other vendors).
Edit: small addition about premium. It's pretty easy to call it premium while it's the only ios device and there are no lower or higher spec devices to directly compare with.
But most of the time when you compare it spec wise to an android device released at almost the same time it (the iphone) settles more at mid to lower high-end range device than premium.

One thing I've noticed is people don't make such a big deal out of having an iPhone anymore, or what I like to call the iPhone dance... Where they take the iPhone out their pocket in a crowd and make sure everyone sees that they have one.
So it looks like the shine's been wearing off the Apple lately.

Well, im interested to see what apple have included in the next upgrade! i would never have another iphone though.
I dont think it will be any more powerful than the s3, and from what i have seen it has about half an inch of extra screenage!!
I would be surprised if they unlocked the OS to compete with android and the customisation, but i doubt that will happen!
maybe apple will introduce bluetooth file sharing!!!!!! every other phone has it, why not on iphones? there is a cheap £50 phone at tesco's which texts calls and takes photos. i think its a cheap rubbish Alcatel phone. it has bluetooth.
ah well, ill just stick with what i know and like. Samsung!!!!!
Yes, I expect Iphone 5 to features - 2gb RAM, Quad Cores, 3300mAh battery, 4.65" retina screen and discount 50% for all apps for 2yrs. Is that too much to expect?

yeh im looking forward for iphone 5 but just for interesting. Had iphone 4s, phone maybe isnt so bad, but operating system is totally crap. Couldnt even send files over bluetooth...... android ftw
Here's what I know already:
1) It will still be highly dependant of iTunes.
2) Users will have to wait maybe months for a jailbreak.
3) The OS will basically still look the same as it did in 2007.
4) Still won't be able to backup the device on the memory card (ala cwm).
5) It will still have only one button - no dedicated back or menu keys.
6) You still won't be able to Bluetooth apps / movies / music to other phones.
7) Out of the box it won't just work until it's activated.
8) No removable battery of external memory card support.
9) I could seriously go on and on and on. But I've wasted enough time on crapple.
Please understand, I actually also own an iphone but once you've tasted android, ios is a major pain in the behind. Unless you are a simple person who find it difficult to do anything other than swype left to right.
Man I haven't tinkered with my iPhone since last year. I'm just bored of it and find it cumbersome to do anything on it. Believe me, it works great for messaging and taking / making calls.
I'm still on an older firmware because upgrading would mean hours and hours or restoring and re-downloading hacks, if they still work.
What pisses me off most is all the hype and media attention it gets. The S3 will still be a much better phone but still no media reports about it, on TV at least. Here in Australia all the major news networks have been talking about it's release for a week. Even today there was an ad for the morning news, which will feature the new iphone. Apple have bought out the media I think.

I'm curious about what they have to offer, but I'm not holding my breath.
I hope I'm wrong though, and Apple blows our minds with some awesome innovation and declare it creative commons. Man that'll sure be surprising

Yes, I expect Iphone 5 to features - 2gb RAM, Quad Cores, 3300mAh battery, 4.65" retina screen and discount 50% for all apps for 2yrs. Is that too much to expect?

So No I dont beleive the new Iphone 5 will beat the New GS3 GT-I9305
and U can guess which one I am getting
The only thing that Apple that have done a great thing that is keep up to date. Samsung never promise on time.

On GSMarena you can.
I have almost made up my mind to get the iPhone 5, however just remains one last obstacle to overcome, my wife, as an iPhone user herself she thinks that its too small for me and that the original Note which I had fitted me better! ! .
Anyway we shall see once both are released.
Here is a side by side size comparison:
http://versusio.com/en/apple-iphone-5-64gb-vs-samsung-galaxy-note-2
I stopped reading that link you posted because it looks like a 13 year old made this comparing page:
Has a built-in HDR mode Yes vs No It can automatically shoot pictures with an higher dynamic range (HDR)
ummm who cares? get an app on the note 2??? the list goes on like this, it should be renamed to stupid reasons for someone to buy the iphone 5.
I mean, scroll down more and you see manual ios lol....
why is everyone comparing to the iPhone still? while they may sell the most due to people either being invested in ios or for cult like reasons, i really don't see them as the standard anymore. comparison is great for specs but i'm just tired of everyone regarding the iPhone as the standard. Iphone 5 is already getting very ****ty compliments from experts.
We will see iphone 5 will be major flop. that time apple will know peoples are not fools now that time has gone when peoples became idiots from the name of apple.
And I am wondering where is those 200 changes are in ios 6
You've got to be kidding..major flop? The IPhone 5 will sell 25% more units than any release of any smartphones in history.....between now and Dec30 the IPhone will sell more than every Samsung phone COMBINED.
(trust me!)

I hope your not being serious because if you are, you probably have no idea what the scope of any manufacturer sales numbers actually are. The ip5 will sell a lot, but you are extremely exaggerating, which makes you seem a little moronic.

I don't understand why are you people even argue about whether iPhone5 will sell more or less. It's not like Apple will just shortly release the number. (not unless it benefit Apple) And quite frankly, I think it's kinda stupid comparing iPhone 5 to Note 2. Clearly iPhone 5 was aiming to go after GS3. Seem like Apple is a bit running behind S3. Also, the comparison doesn't even mention the use of Stylus on the Note 2, which one another main feature other than large screen.
To argue with that, iPhone 5 aims to be better than 4S. As far as I can see, only Samsung puts up ads comparing its phones to apple's.(I stand corrected if you show me an apple ad that directly makes fun of Samsung). iPhone 5 shouldn't be compared even to the SGS3, I think it's time iphone and android are considered different products for different people(sgs3 is significantly larger than any iPhone, some people might not like that). Others like me are quite deep in the whole iOS ecosystem. I have a lot of apps I use daily for both OS's but my time on iOS might make me miss some stuff. The thing keeping me motivated for Note 2 right now is the memory of how awesome videos were on the GNex, I can only imagine a proper screen the size of my palm playing a video.

No, Apple just sues and takes money directly from Samsung instead of letting their device sales speak for the quality, haha. Although, I think during the iPhone keynote they did take a few jabs at android devices. I agree with you, though. I really don't see the two devices in the same class. Me and my girlfriend are both due for upgrades. I'm getting the note 2 and shes getting the iPhone 5. We both use our devices very differently and I'm sure we will both be happy with our new phones.

you must not know that the GSIII outsold the iPhone 4s .. i'm pretty sure it'll outsell the 5, and the Note might too since its on all major carriers like the GSIII. i'm not an Android fanboy, but the iPhone 5 is a lot of hype. they took features we've had for a while now and called it revolutionary. e.g.: panorama shot .. i can do that on my 2 year old Desire Z / G2.

Fixed.
First of all a few of you sound like children. For Android fans who consider themselves "enlightened ones" it's quite comical that you constantly have to take shots at Apple whenever possible. You're posting at an Android haven yet you've just got to take shots just because. Why can't people just grow up and not post like assholes whenever it becomes necessary to make comparisons? Also are you all really arguing about sales? Do you own stock in Apple? Samsung? Are you a part of either of their marketing, engineering dept., or another division of their company where sales will reflect on how well you did your job? No? Then how the hell do sales figures of a single device make a difference in your lives?
Say what you will about Apple, but at least they can pull off a unified launch. The 16, 32, and 64 GB versions will all be out on release. I have no idea how long I'm going to have to twiddle my thumbs to wait for the 64GB note.
