Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 head-to-head review 3. Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 head-to-head review 4. Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 head-to-head review.
Camera There is little to separate the devices here as they both have a 8-megapixel snappers on the rear. The iPhone 5 test image delivered a tad washed out result The S3 replicated colours accurately Conversely, we found the Panorama mode on the iPhone 5 to be more accurate - as seen in our gallery.
Winner - Draw The S3 provides better colour replication, but we found the iPhone to be less fiddly when using the panorama feature and the facing camera provides more clarity for video calls.
Pricing The Samsung Galaxy S3 is available for free on a month contract starting at 21 per month. Winner - Samsung Galaxy S3 The S3 offers almost all the functionality apart from 4G at a cheaper price and is more flexible of the two devices. So which device is the overall winner? Verdict The Samsung Galaxy S3 emerges as the clear winner in our head-to-head. Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 head-to-head review - currently reading.
Google Android Mobile Apple. For reference, the iPhone 4 and 4S were about 9. Drop and shatter tests like this one seem to be unanimously coming out in favor of the iPhone 5. Even after painful five- or six-foot drops, most iPhone 5 units have only minor dings in the aluminum frame.
Samsung has been tweaking the size, shape, and button layouts of its phones several times a year for several years now. The Galaxy S3 is a result of consumer migration toward phones with larger screens. Despite being significantly wider and longer than the iPhone 5, the S3 is more comfortable to hold and use due to its button placement. By placing the power and volume buttons on the sides toward the middle of the phone, users can more naturally press both buttons, interact with the screen, and reach the Home, Back, and Menu buttons on the device.
The iPhone 5 is still a comfortable device, but Apple has not adjusted the placement of its power button to match the fact that it is now a longer not wider phone. Of course, those with Andre the Giant hands will undoubtedly lean toward the S3 and those with more petite digits will gravitate toward the iPhone 5. Despite ongoing lawsuits over the similarities between Apple and Samsung products, the differences between the Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5 user interfaces are quite stark.
No other touch operating system is so pleasant and enthralling at least, at first to learn and operate.
With the Galaxy S3, Samsung is trying really hard to make Android a more consistent and beautiful experience, but its attempts feel contrived and, at times, misguided.
In many ways, the Galaxy S3 might be a better phone if Samsung had left Android alone. Yes, both have app lists, app stores, unlock screens, and Settings menus, but once you dig in, there are a lot of technical differences between Android and iOS, the two operating systems that run the S3 and iPhone 5. On the Galaxy, apps can run in the background as you permit. Say you want to download podcasts or email every three hours without opening up the app again… you can do that, and the phone has a built-in task manager so you can kill running processes that bother you.
Basically, the S3 is able to do a lot more things when your screen is off and your phone is idle than the iPhone. This makes the S3 a phone with more real-time qualities to it. Apps can be open without being on the screen. But this is one example where Android allows more control and features. The ability to install apps outside the Google Play store is another benefit of Android. We do like that Android apps have made big strides in auto updating, but both app stores are guilty of promoting a new dynamic where iPhone and Galaxy S3 owners have to download constant app updates to the point of annoyance.
Still, both phones have great app stores. Stick to Google Play. There are two levels to personalization: tweaks to the outside like cases and accessories, and options inside of your phone to manipulate the look of what appears on screen.
The iPhone 5 makes no significant leaps forward in the area of software. You can change ringtones, your home screen and lockscreen backgrounds, and move your icons around or put them in folders.
If you love quirky cases, you should opt for the iPhone. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products. The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability. The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability. Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
Text messaging is much faster due to a hardware keyboard. Display 1. Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch PPI on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen.
The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels. The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience. Damage-resistant glass such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.
It was designed to overcome the main limitations of conventional twisted nematic TFT displays: limited viewing angles and low-quality color reproduction.
They have higher contrast ratios and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers. The device can display 3D images without the need for wearing special glasses. The display's special construction allows viewers to get a sense of an image's depth by tailoring its position to fit the user's perspective.
Performance 1. RAM 1GB. Random-access memory RAM is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
CPU speed 2 x 1. The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores processing units. It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
The device has a standard memory slot such as an SD or micro SD card slot that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card. The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data.
With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device. Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption.
Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance. The graphics processing unit GPU has a higher clock speed.
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance. Geekbench result
