Quite impressive. It will be a considerable jump from my iPhone 4. I have used Android phones and regardless of their specs I have always found them to be a bit buggy with some lag issues and whatnot.
geekbench is a synthetic benchmark guys. not real world performance applicable.
just like 3dmark (windows talk here) its NOT a good test for real world performance.
s3 being faster by a little or iphone 5 by a little. dont matter. the phone is holding its own very well despite the raw difference in clock speed. processor architecture aside that would not boost the iphone that far ahead. a 40% slower clock is ALOT to overcome.

thats just as stupid as the original ad. just reverse bashing. the s3 is a great phone for android.
Battery life evidence
Fair enough if you want me to evidence my claim:
As you can see, iPhone 4S wins in 2 of the 3 tests.
Overall battery life is as follows:
Samsung Galaxy S3: 26.397 hours
iPhone 4S: 30.119 hours
Please also note the inclusion of the iPhone 4 in those tests for comparison to address the second part of your comment.

An additional comment:
It's also worth noting that there are 2 different versions of the SG3.
The dual core (America) and the quad core (International).
It's difficult to debate without specifying which one we're talking about - they have different performance.
Either way it's probably best to wait for review benchmarks, especially as I mentioned the Geekbench port to Android isn't directly comparable.
The most shocking thing for me is that the iPhone outperforms the new iPad.

I'm not sure about this "one handed use" advantage and makes me question it. Since the phone is taller, will i be able to reach all the way to the top? And if so, then why wouldn't wider work either like a S3 sized phone?
I don't understand why some folks here keep comparing S3 to iPhone in nearly every iP5 thread. What's so great about the S3? Over-saturated junk monitor, plastic body shell (didn't Samsung claimed the body shell was ceramic?), junk UI IMO after trying my friend's S3, super-short battery life (on international version with quad core), designed to look like a smashed stone instead of a phone. How could these beat an iP5?
And for iFanbois, S3 do not represent everything of Android, go and try out non-Samsung Android phones and you will see Android's reputation is mostly ruined by Samsung's junk ROM and UI.
I am not an iPhone user either but I am quite tired of seeing this comparison in every iP5 post.

I do wonder what you use then as its obvious you never seriously used and S3 .
Its quite comparable with an Iphone 4s (and no doubt a iphone 5) in terms of usability, battery life, processing power, apps,...
All 3 are great phones and wichever you choose more depends on personal taste then anything "rational better" .
Dont know why people whine so much about wich is "better" .
I use HTC One X, and guess what? I am more satisfied with HTC Sense than the Samsung's ugly UI. However, no matter what, I don't see comparing S3 to iP5 here is helping anyone.
How people can be annoyed about a simple adds amazes me. As if apple doesnt do exactly the same.
----------
Its a quite normal reaction, if you want to buy a smartphone you obviously compare what is out on the market.
Btw, I cant seem to understand how you find the sense layer over android is that much prettier then the touchwiz layer of samsung over android.
Guys,
The banchmarks should be checked out precisely at the web site before making judements:
Iphone 5,2 Geekbench Score: 1601
(There is only 1 sample)
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1030202
Samsung Galaxy S III Geekbench Score: 2052
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1036389
There are hundreds of samples for SGS3, those are between 1800-2000, when all the 4 cores are on:
http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/search?utf8=✓&q=samsung+galaxy+S+III
The SGS3 has a Power Saving mode as well when the performance is limited.
Let's wait for some independent and objective test results. I am really interested how is the new iOS 6 on iP5 is against the newest Android (4.1.1 JB) on SGS3 in terms of speed.
I am going to buy an Iphone5, and I believe that Software and Hardware integration make it a great product.
But talking about raw power I think is difficult to hide that SG3 has obviously more.
At the end of the day what I want is that all works great on my mobile, and not the raw power itself. We have learned that already with normal PCs.
It's not outperforming it. It has comparable performance. Almost every S3 user in this thread has a better score than 1601. We need to wait for more iP5 tests to be conducted to get a better idea of the performance.
----------
It didn't occur to you that I might be talking about loading pages over Wi-fi? Besides, I live in the UK, and we don't have 4G yet - I did test LTE on the Galaxy Nexus though when I was in the States.
----------
I am missing the point?
Android fans have a reason to brag about specs, because that's what makes the phone powerful. There is no denying that the S3 is one hell of a powerful phone, and we have a lot of evidence in this thread that it has indeed a score higher than 1601, for some people even 25% higher (as compared to the 2,5% difference in iphone's favour suggested at the beginning of this thread). The performance of the iPhone 5 is indeed impressive and comparing the specs directly can be indeed pointless (because there are so many factors that need to be taken into account), but arguing that the iPhone5 is more powerful after seeing one leaked score from this unreleased phone is equally ignorant, if not more ignorant.
What is unsurprising is the fact that a phone released a few months after the S3 has a comparable performance.

Stop posting this image based on inaccurate and false information.
Well these scores are quite lower than I expected. It's pretty obvious that the A6 is comparable to the Cortex A15 (both being Armv7s's) considering they're both capable of VFPv4. This is almost quite poor for Apple, something in their architecture pipelines is out of wack. Maybe it's only software optimizations (uhhh idk) Granted it's not bad for a first attempt. Hell Quallcom wasn't exceptional at core optimizations until the recent snapdragons. However, that is by no means an amazing score for what that architecture could be capable of. Following more accurate A15 guidelines will yield much higher scores. The prospective Galaxy S might put this phone to shame albeit probably 7 months later. Something people need to watch out for is the new tegra core coming later next year. Given the time frame it will be near impossible for Cupertino to improve their core that much and also be able to quantify to a quadcore spectrum. What they will do is optimize the A6 and probably title it a candid A6x. There is quite possibly a good chance that Android will take the lead next Q3. Just a bit of insider information for diggers
I find it funny how badly Apple Fanboys will defend a score posted by a Phone not even on the market yet but then try and bash the better scores of the S3.
I hit 1800 not even trying. i just downloaded it and ran it off battery power without optimisations. heck i had shed load of stuff running at the time too.
Not to mention that im using an unfinished version of Jelly bean which will only get better when officially released.

That CPU is available this year. So sorry your wrong. Exynos 5 is ready to roll Q4 2012
Everybody needs to choose based on personal preference.
iP4S was already a great product, I guess iP5 will be even better. So I think you will be very happy with it.
I always suggest trying out more models and OS (Android, iOS, WP) before doing a bigger investment. All phones and platforms has Pros/Cons.
We customers should be happy to have a huge competition for our money. That is why I am happy there are options on OS: Android, iOS, WP, ect. and on makes: HTC, Samsung, Apple, Nokia, etc...
I guess iP5 screen would be still 4" without a strong competion on the market with bigger displays. That is what we need: big competition for continuous and fast iinnovation..
Fair, factual, true and full information on forums helps making a decision. That is why I highlighted the fair results of the SGS3 results a few posts ago to see both sides correctly.
Subjective experience is also important. On the other hand it is a but funny when thousand of people already judged iP5 (in a negative or positive way) without even touching it as it is not available yet.
BTW I am also considering to get an iP5, but I never buy anything before testing it myself.
