Q. Im getting a new phone but i can't decide if i should get an iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3. I know that there are advantages to bath but i cant decide. plz help.
A. Galaxy s3 pros:
- larger screen but it makes the phone big so it's also a con.
- a lot of cool features and gestures like the other post stated
- more customizable as far as home screen layouts and widgets etc
- lost of room for media. They make a 64 gb model if I'm correct AND it still has a sd card slot for more
Cons:
- if you like to spend money on headphones and earphones with track control there's not many companies that make them fully compatible with androids. What I mean is audio will play but all you're cool track/volume control features may only work on apple devices.
- although it's got a 2gig dual core processor the os still feels sluggish compared to the iPhone 5
- the voice assistant is horrible (s-voice) compare to Siri on iPhone
- it's a really large phone and personally I find it uncomfortable to carry around in my jeans pockets
iPhone 5 pros:
- typically easier to find accessories and gadgets if you're into that stuff
- video recording and audio are of better quality on the iPhone. Not a huge deal but enough of a difference for me to notice it.
- Siri is a lot more helpful than s-voice
- predictive text is much better in iOS than ice cream sandwich on the galaxy. I noticed its better at correcting errors. The galaxy left a lot of misspelled words alone leaving me to manually correct it.
- iPhone is better at sending media through mms. I noticed a lot of pictures, voice note and videos especially sent from my galaxy were unable to be view on the recipient handset (some were androids and some were iPhones) I know it may not necessarily be the galaxy's fault but on my iPhone 4 and 5 I have less problems with media being viewed from the recipients phone.
- iTunes makes it easy to manage your phones music pics and videos
- apps seem to work better on iOS than android. Some of the same apps that I use on iOS are crap on the androids version. Ex: rhapsody works well on the iPhone but the rhapsody app on android is completely different and was stripped of a lot of features that that same app on iOS had. I've noticed that with few other apps as well. I'm sure there probably are some apps that work better on android vs iPhone but I'm just stating what I myself have encountered
Cons:
- smaller screen. Good or bad depending on how you look at it
- no flash support while web browsing. Not a real big deal because flash sucked even on my galaxy anyways. Not only that flash is no longer gonna be supported on androids too if I'm correct.
- this con is a pretty big one and I noticed a lot of other iPhone 5 users are noticing this as well but there is some wifi connectivity issues with the iPhone 5 as of right now and all apple has been doing is replacing phones but a lot of people are still noticing the problem on the replacement. Hopefully the issue can be corrected through a patch because having an iPhone without wifi capabilities is just unacceptable so heads up on that. If you wanna follow what people are saying about the issue you can find a discussion here,

I've used both phones but personally like iPhones better. The new jelly bean update for the galaxy s3 seems to have fixed some of the cons that I have mentioned for the galaxy but for the time being these are things you will see on I've cream sandwich os.
