Q. I can't decide which one to buy. I've been an Android user for a long time so I don't really want more of the same with s 3.
A. iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 - Design, Screen and Power
Design
iPhone 5 - 7.6mm thick, metal casing, non-removable battery
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 8.6mm thick, plastic casing, removable battery
Apple has taken aggressive measures to make the iPhone 5 as thin as possible. The rear layer of glass has gone, the phone uses a teeny nano-SIM and the screen technology merges its constituent layers to squish everything down as far as possible. As a result it's just 7.6mm thick, a full millimetre less than the Samsung Galaxy S3 - which is 8.6mm thick.
Screen
iPhone 5 - 4in IPS, 1,136 x 640 resolution
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 4.8in Super AMOLED, 1,280 x 720 resolution
Every generation of iPhone since the original of the species back in 2007 has uses the same size screen - 3.5in. That has all changed with the iPhone 5. It now has a widescreen 4in display of 1,136 x 640 pixels.
Power
iPhone 5 - 1GB RAM, A6 processor, power TBC
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 1GB RAM, Exynos 4412, Quad-core 1.4GHz
One area where the Samsung Galaxy S3 might beat the next iPhone is its processor's figures. The Samsung Galaxy S3 uses the impressive Exynos 4412 chip, which has four cores and runs at 1.4GHz.
Connectivity
iPhone 5 - new proprietary 8-pin connector, no microSD, microSIM
Samsung Galaxy S3 - microUSB, microSD, microSIM
Perhaps the most earth-shattering change in the iPhone 5 is that it rejects the 30-pin connector used across iPods, iPads and iPhones in favour of a much-smaller 8-pin model. This is comparable in size to the microUSB standard, although it's not exactly the same as microUSB. Apple is never keen on going with the bog-standard option when it can make its own version.
Cameras
iPhone 5 - 8MP, LED flash
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 8MP, LED flash
Although many elements of the iPhone 5 have been improved hugely over its predecessor, the camera has only been given a slight upgrade. It's still an 8-megapixel sensor, and it still uses a pretty standard LED flash. Its aperture is f/2.4 and it uses a five-element lens. Like the iPhone 4S, the sensor offers backside illumination.
Battery
iPhone 5 - up to 8 hours talk time
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 2100mAh
In typical Apple style, the exact technical specs of the iPhone 5 battery, in terms of mAh capacity, have not been revealed. Instead, Apple has told us about how long it'll last for in real-world terms. It will handle eight hours of talk time, or a whopping 40 hours of audio.
Also, like previous iPhones you can't swap out the battery on the iPhone 5, so if you're caught short without power you're done for... well, your phone is anyway.
Verdict
More than is often the case, the battle between the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 is the very definition of the case between iOS and Android, between Apple and Google. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is more flexible, with expandable memory and a more malleable OS. However, the metal body of Apple's phone feels a lot more premium, and is a much friendlier design for those with less than giant hands. And with the larger 4in screen, it won't feel quite so tiny next to the Samsung Galaxy S3, either.

I found this case, does it seem trustable? http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Cover-Case-International/dp/B008S3N8RI/ref=pd_sim_cps_1
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
A. I LOVE TPU rubber and silicone cases, my phone has dropped a lot, because I'm a clutz lol, so I get those kind.
These ones are only $5.95 and it's free shipping :) I use one on my own phone! :)
Your picture seems to be like a 'solid' case, no rubber, therefore, I honestly wouldn't trust it. Rubber and silicone absorb damage when they're dropped, where a solid case, well, think of it like dropping an ice tray full of ice, it doesn't work out so well >.<
This is where I got mine :)

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5?
Q. I have an iPhone 5, and have been using iPhone for the last 2 years. I owned an Android (HTC Evo Shift) for a year. I loved the customization and software, but hated the phone itself. My dad has a Galaxy S4 and I have fallen in love with the phone. The sleekness of the device itself and the smooth software really caught my eye. Should I make the switch? If so, how does S4 beat the iPhone 5? And if you really want ten points, how much do you think I will get from Sprint for the iPhone 5 (it's almost a year old but works and looks brand new)? Also, which color looks better on GS4?
A. Yes, you should make the switch, the galaxys4 is pretty much the best phone on the market at the moment. It's a lot faster than the iPhone 5, it customizable because of Android. A lot of apps are free from google playstore, and with the iPhone that's not always the case. Don't forget the camera as well, iPhones camera isn't bad, but it really can't stand up to the 13 MP beast that the s4 has. Above that the s4's camera also has some great features like sound and shot, gifs,... The galaxy itself also has some great features, like smart scroll, smart pauze,... It's lighter than the iPhone despite being bigger and it also feels great to hold. There are also rumors that android is going get an update, so it'll be even better than it already is. I'm not sure how much money you'll get from sprint for returning your phone but I do know that white is pretty much the best color for the GS4. Though now they've also released phones with a red, purple and even brown color, so if you want something else different,...
Hope this helps!!!
