Hello all,
I'm due for an upgrade to my current phone Droid X.
I am torn trying to convince myself to buy an Iphone 5 over a Samsung S3.
I really want to get the Iphone as it feels super good on my hands. This thing is 'physically' a piece of art. Put it in my pocket, canÂ’t even tell I have a phone there...really good light weight but durable/hefty.
My problem is the everyday use that I have been struggling with vs. when I see what my buddies S3 can do.
What can the Iphone do that the S3 cannot do? I need someone to convince meÂ…
Web browsing speeds: almost sameÂ…iphone a bit fasterÂ…like a split second fasterÂ…but nothing so huge that is a WOW factor.
Opening and executing AppsÂ…both are super snappyÂ…cannot really tell any lags between the two phones. I think iphone is a little/tad quicker (againÂ…split second)Â…but not enough to wow me.
Camera: both look like they have good cameras for a “phone”. I have a Nikon D7000 that I use if I want to get a bit more serious with taking pictures….so camera is not such an issue for me.
Panoramic pics…so many articles boasting about Iphone panoramic ability…but the S3 also has/had this ability too which takes just as good images again…for a ‘phone’…no WOW factor on either side
IÂ’m on Verizon networkÂ…S3 can make calls and surf webÂ….Iphone cannot. Was thinking going AT&T but I want to stay on Verizon due to wider coverage of LTE where I live. I also use maps and talk at the same time a lot when I driveÂ…something Iphone cannot do at this time on current network.
Battery timeÂ…looks like they both have good battery lifeÂ….but S3 allows removable battery. Something good when I travel a lotÂ…I can keep a 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] battery with me vs. being chain and balled to an outlet at the airport.
Hard drive space. Iphone have up to 64 gigsÂ…but S3 can go up to 96gigs and soon up to 128 gigs.
Iphone charges $400 for 64gig right nowÂ…but S3 I found would only cost me $300 to get to 96 gigs.
I think the one big thing that I really like about the iphone is the physical aspects of the phoneÂ…but everything elseÂ…it looks like S3 is just as good if not better when utilizing this in the everyday real world.
Is there anything that is a WOW factor for iphone that will set it apart from S3?
