Andriod have had all the "new" iPhone features for years.

Waiting on NFC with baited breath. Will some retailer employ it already!

I'm no fanboy of anything, but this is a pretty stupid ad.



According to this poster, the only benefit the S3 has specs-wise is 2GB Ram, which would be unnoticeable in normal usage due to iOS being less resource hogging. I dont believe the listed battery standby time, my 4S eats my brothers S3's battery life.

It then goes on to list a whole lot of Samsung software features, without listing any from iOS.

I'm not gonna debate which phone is 'better', but its a pretty brainless poster.

I own an S3, and I will say that its a terrible ad.

Not to mention I have actually disabled almost all of those "extras"

Normal use my phone gets like 2 days, which involves music, games, internetz, youtubez and emails. If I did nothing, I wouldn't expect more than 4 days max.

NFC tech rocks.. but sadly bugger all devices use it yet. Seems Samsung added it just cos they could in this case.

S3's list is like twice as long as the iphones, obvious choice. Maybe your not a genius after all.

Nothing has really impressed me regarding phones til they stuck a 4 core cpu into a phone. Everything that has happened til now was kind of expected and not truly spectacular. Nothing will truly impress me til they stick in a gpu powerful enough to play a current title in 1080p via a nano hdmi cable (patent pending).

I'm not adamant everyone needs an iPad. I dont even have an iPad.

Need I remind you that I'm the one that constantly leaves Apple to give Android and WP7 a good chance. Nothing stacks up, IMO.

The S3 with Jellybean will be the first phone that really stacks up.

Try doing that with your iPhone. S3 + MHL + PS3/XBOX controller + Big ass TV = Fuckinggamesandmoviesandpornandshitbroumad.

Fucking S3 kicks ass. Rolls that POS iPhone.

So....your point is that the S3 is a superior phone because if you want to follow a long list of instructions you can get an inferior game to play on your TV using a PS3 controller?

I'm sure its great for kids. But failing to see how this automatically makes the S3 the worlds best phone. What if you dont play games, like me? My memories of searching for games on my S2 was a whole bunch of games I tried to download only to discover they weren't  compatible with the handset. The ones that did actually work had inferior framerates and graphics to iOS games. If you want to go down that road, I think iOS is probably the superior gaming platform. In saying that, most Android handsets have bigger screens which would make games nicer too.

Horse's for courses, is what you boys need to understand.
