Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gadgets & Tech iphone 5 or Galaxy S3

And where is the problem with asking for advice, forgive me if am mistaken, but is that not what people do on forums.

To be honest they are all pretty good mate, IOS or Android. Windows still has a way to go as an OS and Symbian is pretty much dead, comes down to personal choice.

Personally speaking, if you have cash and if you can get your hands on the new Google Nexus 4 they are £279 with no contract, stick a Giff Gaff card in it and save yourself a stack of cash compared to a 2 year contract.

Thank you.

After having the iPhone 4 (not had the 5) and now the Galaxy S3, just a few things to consider


The features on both phones are very similar except for a couple of minor issues I came across

For one, the iPhone still doesnt support phone to phone/computer bluetooth file transfers, BUT WILL connect to Bluetooth In Car devices / headsets

The other thing I'm not a fan of is having to connect the iPhone to the computer every time you want to put a new photo/video/music file on it.... I just hate iTunes

Going from both of the phones, I find the Android OS a lot easier to navigate and seems a lot smoother due to the S3's Quadcore processor as appose to the iPhone 5's dualcore one.
Only had a few minutes "play time" with the iPhone 5

Of course the upside of the iPhone is Apple's constant firmware updates keeping you up to date with security fixes.
Where as Android is a little slower at handing out updates and are reliant on the network pushing them out to the handsets.

Personally, I recommend you go for the Galaxy S3

I knew an iphone user would pipe up with the usual rubbish lmao

"I would rather have this 8310 than these stupid smart phones, that seem to eat the credit for no reason, so you are forced into buying internet packs.

Give me an old nokia anyday, so simple to use, and as you say, battery lasts for days."

Get an iPhone, don't listen to the others.

I have never had a galaxy no as I have never had the need to, I already have the best available phone so why would I go out and buy a house brick?

You cannot get a virus on any apple product, android is shit end of.

An if you want to look a c*¥t pulling a house brick out ever time your phone goes or you need to use your phone then go right ahead and buy one.

I just laugh when I see those fools walking down the road with a phone bigger than bidston hill, it's not the 80,s anymore.
What's with those fools and the MASSIVE sets of headphones walking down the road? Now they need a tango slap!

I had same attitude till I went to galaxy. All I will say is don't knock it till you tryed it

And your point being

Agree!

iOS is great, simple, easy to use, smart, well built Hardware and it just works.

Android powered devices take a little more getting used to as they are not quite as simple out the box, but the Google cloud is light years ahead and the operating system is alot more innovative with features being released on Android months/years before Iphone (true multi tasking, folders, multiple user accounts etc) and they are cheap. Android have bought smart phones to the masses.

If you have lots of spare cash image is important and you are not technology savvy the buy iphone.

It you are a techie and require more useful features, dont have as much money to spend on toys or dont care then buy android.

Myself, my next phone will be a google nexus 4. Does everything the iphone does and lots of stuff it cant do for a 1/3 of the price. I have had apple devices in the past and will never buy another, the products are good but their business practices are bad and are preventing innovation.
