Comparison: iphone 5 vs samsung galaxy s3

The iPhone 5 has stood out above all for its sales. And is that Apple in terms of figures can have no complaints. But perhaps the best thing about the number of terminals we can find now is the number of comparisons we can make.

Today's comparison is curious. On the one hand, the iPhone 5, which is technically the top of the range, at least in Apple and the Samsung Galaxy S3, which despite being an earlier model than we can currently buy, is very on par with the iPhone.

iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 stands out mainly for its design and fluidity. And perhaps this is an important key that Apple always plays with: it does not create terminals for other brands or license its operating system. That makes the terminals that Apple presents are fully optimized with the operating system they carry.

In this particular, if the number of cores is important to you, this is not your phone. But you may be surprised when you see that the iPhone is much faster and opens applications more smoothly than other phones with more powerful processors.

Despite its much more humble characteristics than the terminals of other companies, it is not a low-end phone, mainly because of how fast it is. Furthermore, its design is pristine. The unique body, with absolutely nothing to detach from the phone, makes the user feel like they have a high-quality phone in their hands.

The operating system is currently iOS 6, which despite maintaining its main aesthetic features, will soon be replaced by the new iOS 7, which is presented as a major renovation. As for the applications, the App Store supplies the iPhone with 900, 000 high-quality applications. A figure that is far from being that of its competitors.

The iPhone is a very high quality phone, which stands out for its design, its applications and the fluidity with which it moves the operating system, specially optimized for each Apple model.

Samsung Galaxy s3

The Samsung Galaxy S3 follows the usual line of Samsung. Technology everywhere. The one that was a few months ago a totally leading mobile, has given way to its new successor, the Galaxy S4. Even so, if we stick to the figures, it is still a more powerful phone than the iPhone 5 and also with a much more adjusted price.

Perhaps there are some things in which the iPhone of a good lesson to the Samsung, but not in power. The design of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is much poorer, forgetting the aluminum and unibody finishes. The casing is made of ordinary plastic, so perhaps in that aspect it does not give the feeling of being a very high-end phone. But from here everything is better.

The processor is faster, the screen bigger, it has more memory and the storage can be expanded by means of a memory card. Also it does not have such a price to be a phone of the past generation. If we did a logical comparison, we should be comparing this terminal with the iPhone 4S and even then the comparisons would be even more odious.

As for software, the Samsung Galaxy S3 does not have such a large and high-quality ecosystem.

Conclusions

Of course, if you want a nice phone, with the best applications, with good finishes and a reasonable screen to use it with one hand, the iPhone 5 is your terminal. If what you want is a highly customizable phone thanks to Android and with much more power, although so optimized, you should buy the Samsung, which is also more graceful for its price. Of course, we leave you the rigor table.
