So you’ve seen the new Samsung Galaxy S3 – the flagship that elegantly stole the Android spotlight from the HTC One X. Do you love it? I know I do! But how does it stack up against the current superstars such as the iPhone 4S and the Lumia 900 in terms of specs? We’re about to find out thanks to the folks at Redmondpie.com who have prepared a table of comparison for these three flagships. Take a look below.
Judging from the table, the Galaxy S3 blows away the competition in terms of hardware. You can imagine it boasting “My gun’s bigger than yours,†starting from the quad-core processor, display size, RAM and the BATTERY. It’s a little surprising that Samsung didn’t go over 8 megapixel with the camera, probably focusing on picture quality instead of size. I’m curious how it’ll go head-to-head with the iPhone 4S. With regards to OTA, Android 5.0 Jelly Bean is expected to arrive this year. I can’t wait to find out what it’ll do to this badass $@!&$^*! Anyway, I’ll leave the rest to you guys. Share your thoughts below.

Hmm question though. Why do you compare it to lumia and iphone4s? Why not compare it to a phone that is on par with the galaxy s3 like lets say the HTC ONE X? sounds reasonable right? I ber a lot of people would like to have this phone compared toe to toe to see what quad core phone comes out on top.

Brilliant comparison! Kasama ng S3 ang Lumia 900 na limited by the specs na set ng Microsoft and last year’s 4S.
Why not compare it with the HTC One X and the LG Optimus 4X? I guess that makes too much sense para sa writers nitong website.
Boring naman pag ikinukumpara mo lang ay ang mga droids.
saka Ba’t mo ikukumpara ang isang Bagong pangit sa dalawang Sexy? LOLS! unfair yon! ;)
So the comparison won’t just boil down to hardware since the One X and the Optimus 4X also run Android ICS. Although I would like to see those three Android titans on a Mexican standoff and find out who will take the Android throne.
By the books, S3 is the clear winner! But the 4s has proven it by performance! Lets see if quad-core bails Android out of the typical lags,freezes, automatic reboots, overheating, slow charging & fast draining. Only by then would we know!
Doubtful yang sinasabi mo.
^which one? The lags and the likes? Its so typical of android…it goes without saying.
I still want the Nokia Lumia 900, for me its the most beautiful smartphone.
Yuga, the Lumia 900 has an 800×480 display and that makes it have a ppi at 217. It also has a 1.3 MP front facing camera, not VGA. It also has a weight of 159 grams.
Yuga, the Lumia 900 has an 800×480 display and that makes it have a ppi at 217. It also has a 1 MP front facing camera, not VGA.
Good heavens, buy HTC One X Instead.
I’ll even settle for a Lumia or just stick to My Iphone 4S!
white lumia 900 should be there instead of cyan!
Specs per specs per specs the Samsung Galaxy SIII is a winner. But I like Nokia Lumina 900 the most. When Nokia partnered with Microsoft I have been drooling of owning a Windows Phone. It has simple and elegant user interface. I’m not bother with its limited apps because I don’t need trash on my phone. On iOS and Android there are so many apps that are not really needed and it will just waste my time on it. I love the Nokia Lumina 900! FTW!
Ako din pre, currently enjoying Windows Phone 7.5 Mango on HTC Radar. I should say the UI is unique and awesome. Previous owner of Android 1.5/2.3 and iOS 1/4 kayo nagsawa na ako sa UI na static icons.
Eh? SG III is a clear winner? LMAO!! sa PentTile display pa lang lugi ka na. plasticky pa yung dating. wala sigurong taste ang nagagandahan sa Device na ‘to.
PenTile Matrix nga pero Super AMOLED HD naman. At 306 ppi halos hindi mo mapapansin na PenTile display siya.
What a blatant lie. This is 2012, and you’re actually saying that AMOLED is an advantage ? Going with that, you’re being ridiculous by saying that AMOLED is a plus while Pentile is also one ? AMOLED is one of the shittiest displays ever created with false colours, worse viewing angles, and over saturations.
That was pretty impressive specifications that clearly trumps the other two. Most of you has a good point but all I can say is that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” ;)
HTC One X should be the 3rd here, Lumia wouldn’t stand a chance. :)
Meh. As much as I hate Android, I’d rather still have the HTC One X. Sexy hardware & software. Also, Sense UI > Touchwiz. Waiting for Windows 8 (Apollo) though.
If you have to factor in the Mediocre pentile display the hardware really is just a Xoxo. Plus people were expecting a 12 Mega Pixel camera no 8 Mpx. Needless to mention the Non-Ceramic or non-Aluminum body. Overall it’s an OK Device. It just doesn’t have the Wow factors.
SIII is clearly the winner here.
Impressive hardware… the problem now is do Samsung/Google Play have the app that will exploit the power of the specs… if not then it’s just like buying a BD player but you don’t have any BD movies to watch.

Well said !!
Marami pa rin nagogoyo sa dual core and quad core android na jittery and laggy naman.
^korak
Tamah…parang yung megapixel race ng mga digicams, the more pixels, the better the picture KUNO…AS IF! ang masang mamimili naman sugod! bili 2,000 Megapixel camera…click! low-light picture NOISE GALORE!
Overall, Samsung Galaxy S3 is a great phone!
Stunning Samsung Galaxy S3 Photos
Two things,
1. when you’re holding your phone. you’re also holding a design statement. In Galaxy S III’s case, you’re holding Ugly.
2. Specwise? yeah sure Galaxy S III Trumps the Other 2. The Question is Do they even need it? Apps on those platform don’t need a Quad Core!
very soon you will need it. developers will be building more apps that will no longer be compatible with single core phones. parang computer lang yan eh… madaming apps na ngayon na di na kaya ng P4 PCs.
and i don’t think Galaxy S2 or S3 look ugly. kanya-kanyang taste yan dude. you may be admiring the physical design of an iPhone 4/4S, pero ako di ko type kasi andaming clones. mas napapa-wow pa ako sa mga may hawak ng HTC or Galaxy S series. to each his own.
for me, the iphone is the ugly one. but then again, kanya-kanyang taste yan just as frenchy mentions.
palibhasa basag lang kasi fruit phone niya kaya ganyan sinasabi.
mga bitter di matanggap talaga kaya imbes na usapang specs dinadaan nalang sa beauty. OMG! Parang beauty contest na super ganda pero pag QnA na …kahit google translate gamitin wala parin siya sense
kahit na pangit kung basag naman ibang phones…SOLD!
+1 Jimmy.
At Frenchy with developers providing apps for Windows Phone, it doesn’t mean that the minimum chassis will be necked at dual core CPUs. You’re kidding, right ? At least, it’s better having a single core phone with much fluid apps and UIs than having a quad core phone experiencing shitty experiences and lags. Android is never a disgrace but the OEMS are, they put beyond fucked up skins.
and since when is the design of the iphone considered beautiful?! huh?!
Awesome comparison! Samsung Galaxy SIII is a clear winner here. And if it will really debut at ~29K for the 16GB, it’s still more affordable than an iPhone.
Now my dilemma has widen to iPhone vs. Note vs. SIII
i doubt its only 29k?.. lol. it said to be 250$ for 16gig which is 199$ only for iphone4s 16gig.. so its around 37-40k for a phone..hahaha..but still specs much newer and better.. but definitely not affordable.
“it said to be 250$ for 16gig which is 199$ only for iphone4s 16gig.. so its around 37-40k for a phone”
pumasa ka ba ng arithmetic? ang conversion mo sa $250 or $199 ay 37-40k?
yeah I don’t think it’ll just be 29k for 16gb.. probably 33k – 35k at least
