FACE OFF. IPHONE 5 VS SAMSUNG GALAXY S3

There are hoards of new high end mobile phones in the market right now and it's a big confusion as to which one to buy. So today I will do a face off between two of the best phones available in the market now(for those with big pockets) iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. First let's talk about what's good in iPhone 5. • thiner, lighter and more compact • high screen resolution • better viewing in sunlight • more impressive build material SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 • Bigger, higher-res screen • NFC connectivity • Standard USB port for data transfer and charging • microSD card slot for (cheap) storage expansion Mass storage mode, USB Host functionality • Native google maps • 2gb ram (in some) While apple has always been known to it's designing and looks, Samsung has been a more of concentrated on features, which is actually not a bad strategy. But here Samsung gives a tough fight to iPhone 5 on both looks and features. But what's the use of features if you can't use it for long? Yep, I'm talking about batteries. Let's look at the stats iPhone 5 has a 1,440mAh battery, while the Galaxy S III has a beefier 2,100mAh battery. Samsung wins thishands down with a talk time of about 10hrs while iPhone lasts just 5hrs . Both the cameras are good, as both off hi-def recording at 720/30fps. But Samsung gives you option to choose at which resolution you want to shoot the video. It goes way down to QVGA. That would give you more space for still photography. Which by the way is almost similar in both. If you are waiting for a conclusive decision right now as to which one won, you will be disappointed. IPhone 5 is the most expensive mobile in the market right now, more then 200 euros more then Samsung Galaxy S3 in European market. If you would take my choice I will go for Samsung Galaxy S3 any day. But you make your own decision so go out and check those both in a showroom near you.
