Galaxy S3, a 2012 phone, and iPhone 5, also a 2012 phone.
I think it's a fairer comparison than the 4S vs S3 comparisons people have been doing the past few months.
It's insignificant. Pretty soon, Samsung will counter with an even faster phone. It keeps going.
We are talking about dual core vs quad core/ 1gb ram vs 2gb ram. The A6 is pretty impressive buddy.
That's a helluva upgrade in processing power. I am going to have to keep my ass out of the Apple store. Bigger screen, faster processor... I know if I hold one I'll want one.
not again.... most of these iphone vs android phones debates end with these two words -" personal preference ".
Holy Cow, that'll be quicker than a dual core G5 1,8 GHz - and that thing weighs almost 40 pounds and needs it's own powerplant to run. I expected something around 1000-1200 but 1600 would be seriously impressive.
You think every android user monitors whats happening with their OS because true multitasking exists? LMAO!
My dad whos 52 years old has had his first and only smartphone (Samsung Nexus S) for about 9 months and his experience with it has been nothing short of amazing. Your argument is moot. Even I as a power user (unlocked, rooted and flashed MyTouch 4G) dont bother your so called 'constant monitoring'
I'm sure they'll be considerate and no doubt that the report was from a fandroid.
I'll post that only ONCE in every page to get votes.
That's spamming no matter how good the post you're linking to is.
so sick of people pathetically going on and on about android on these forums, you can't go 3 posts without getting some smart mouth guy who joined the forums last week starting a petty argument, clearly only here to try and annoy the hell out of people.
This site used to be about having reasonable discussions, and mostly had people asking for help with their apple devices, as well as speculation from people who've followed apple for a long time, and care about the company.
It's sad to see these forums become something that they shouldn't be

Careful, members like wutang61 may call you butthurt for reporting spammers.
This.
In a few weeks when we will have hundreds of samples from the iPhone 5 we will have a more real world impression. Unlike this one test - that is run strictly by the book by the creators of the test - a lot of the tests run by regular users are run under less than favorable conditions.
Just look at all the different results for the Galaxy S3 or iPhone 4s. They have a wide span of results even though they theoretically should be as good as identical within each device if the tests had been run under identical conditions.
That was with all widgets disabled and I made sure nothing was running in the background.
Experienced and balanced? Dual core and 1gb of ram is almost equal to quad core and 2gb ram? Buddy just give credit where credit is do.
