Galaxy S3 vs. iPhone 4S vs. Lumia 900

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.

    Personally, Lumia 900.

    The iPhone screen is too small for me.

    And I don’t like the design of the Galaxy S III (Feeling mumurahin dahil sa build quality, gayung ito ang bagong “Torchbearer” kumbaga ng Android platform ngayon!)

    Pero may mga nahahanap sina mama para sa Samsung Galaxy S2, so baka yun na yung makuha namin para sa akin. (Android 4.0 na yun! At mas maganda ang design at feel sa kamay kesa sa Galaxy S III! Never mind the HD screen. OK na kahit WVGA resolution *lang*. Maganda naman color reproduction, eh.) :D

    Honestly, Windows Phone all the way for me. (Where art thou, apps for Instagram and a free one for Tumblr?! Babalik nalang ako sa HTC HD7 na nasa mama ko ngayon pag meron na kami Instagram, Tumblr, Temple Run, at mga magagandang games na LIBRE(!) ) :D

    Everyone. Calm down. It’s just a phone.

    BTW checkout Nokia 701 running Nokia Belle FP1. Sample it in your nearest Nokia Store. Workd best with Opera Mobile 436/500 score in html5test.

    sa mga isheeps dyan, Sabihin nyo nga, pwede nabang magbluetooth file transfer yung iphone mo sa kahit na anong bluetooth capable phone? Pwede mo bang palitan ui ng iphone mo? Pwede mo bang palitan ng custom os/rom yung iphone mo sakung anong gusto mo? Pwede mo bang palitan ng ibang messaging, contact,dialer, keyboard app yung iphone mo kung hindi mo nagugustohan yung built in? Pwede mo bang gamitin yung iphone mo nahindi dependent sa computer? Pwede mo bang palitan battery ng iphone mo pag nalowbat or nasira na batt nito? Pwede mo bang connect ang usb flash drive mo sa iphone mo para mabasa mo files nito? Pwede mo bang dagdagan ng additional storage kung puno na existing storage ng iphone mo? Dapat pwede lahat. Mahal kaya nyan. Mura lg phone ko, plastic,pero kaya lahat gawin ang gusto ko. Pwede kopa ngang patayin wifi connection ng lahat ng iphone users naka connect sa wifi network kung saan rin ako nakaconnect.

      Nakagamit ka na ba talaga ng iPhone? parang hindi kasi eh. Lahat ng sinabi mo pwedeng gawin sa iPhone yan. Transfer sa bluetooth? Tsk tsk. Maybe yung space pwede mo tirahin pero with the space of 16gb, 32gb, at 64gb need mo pa ba ng malaki? Kung gusto mo ng malaki bili ka ng HD enclosure.

      It’s already a big space for you to fill bakit ilalagay mo ba lahat ng movies mo sa phone mo? Baka puro scandal lang ilagay mo jan at hindi pa mapupuno yang spacee mo na yan.

    • Avatar for devilmark devilmark says:

      lol.. lahat ng sinabi mo pwd sa iPhone.. hnd k lng marunong or wala k lng alm sa capabilities ng phone mo.. or sabi nga nila bka wala kang iPhone.. kht 3gs lng..hahaha. (JailBreak) lng katapat nyan!

      kuya wala ka talagang alam sa iphone. jailbreak lng katapat niyan! bili ka ng iphone I’m sure nga nga ka.

    In overall specifications. I would say SONY XPERIA S pa rin ,kasi i had saw many videos na talo nya ang HTC one X sa browser speed renedering, I dont know why,because one x is quad then the XS is dual core. Tingnan ninyo sa youtube HTC one X vs Xperia s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzFbVvscrEo

    • Avatar for steelicon steelicon says:

      You must try the Sony Mobile LT28i when it gets released here.

    • Avatar for John John says:

      You’re kidding me, right ? You’re basically judging for what you call the ‘OVERALL’ specs and performance of the phone because of the videos ? The videos you found on the internet ? Oh I see, that must have pure credibility. I believe, i believe !!

    Sam-pol – Isa ka pa relax dude mag chill pill ka na rin. Career na yung history mo Ng cellphone. Share ka pa ng mga alam I’m sure marami sa
    amin not as talented and knowledgeable as you pag dating sa cellphones. Relax lang. Hassle kase sa apple not for everybody yet lahat ng walang apple compare parati as if they’ve tried using an iPhone or iPad or kahit iPod lang.

    i wonder how much will it be pag available na siya sa local market

  12. Avatar for apol apol says:

    Before making any comments, try using an iPhone so you can compare. If you’ve never used an iPhone then you will think samsung has better phones since they come out with different models too often. Can you also compare a Samsung concept store with an authorized apple dealer. Apple has its market Samsung is for everybody like what Nokia was years ago. I’ve been using an iPhone from the 1st gen till Siri nothing can compare to using an iPhone and of course the iTunes App Store. Plus does Samsung really have to copy apple both hardware and software all the time. Come up with your own

    • Avatar for maico maico says:

      A woefully pathetic comment. You yourself said that try using an iphone before we compare it to Samsung and you’re telling that nothing can compare to it. Have you tried using a Samsung Galaxy S3? Bago ka magsalita ng negative opinions make sure na nagamit mo na yung phone. Apple dealer stores may be a bit bigger than a Samsung Concept Store but there sure is a Samsung Customer Service Center waiting for you after you bought a product pero sa Apple wala, so pagdating sa after-sales wala sila binatbat. IMO :)

    • Avatar for blaze blaze says:

      i guess you do not know who is making the iphones processor.

    • Avatar for Apol Apol says:

      Relax maico take a chill pill dude. Obviously you’ve never used an iPhone. I have an extra 3G that I can lend you. I’ve used Samsung who makes the processors yet cannot compare to iPhone not even close dude, sorry to say. FYI apple has a policy of changing and not repairing a unit if something happens so no need for customer service. Honestly you think Samsung concept stores look nice? Sorry dude, has to be one of the ugliest stores in any mall and the staff has to be trained they have no idea what they are talking about. Try asking them anything. Relax lang!

    • Avatar for Apol Apol says:

      Dude, how many galaxy’s will Samsung have to come out with anyways? iPhone 1 model only and from what we see demand is absolutely high. When Samsung comes out with any product, who gives a care right since consumer knows they will come out with a new galaxy in 2,3,4 months. They make great processors though. Sobra Lang gaya gaya Kay apple. You don’t think pathetic na how they try to copy everything apple? Even the pathetic galaxy tabs. Try using the iPad I think you can try sa apple stores for free.

      Gayagaya ba? Know your phone’s history well before whining okay?

      Oh and yes, never liked both apple and samsung. :)

      I laugh at your narrow-minded fanboyism. I owned an iphone 3g and an iphone 4, and I still have my 1st gen ipad. To be totally objective, as phones, choosing one over the other is a matter of preference. Do you like bigger screens or a more pocket-able phone? Do you like flexibility or closed systems that works well out of the box (at least, most of the time)? Are you after the camera quality or the expandable memory? All personal preference. However, based on my experience with iOS and android, the reason I prefer android over ios is the lack of itunes. I want to copy music to my phone? Drag and drop. Pictures? Movies? Drag and drop. From ANY computer. I don’t have to stick to that one computer that has itunes synced to my idevice. I download some stuff at work and want to copy it on my phone? drag and drop. With the iphone, I have to copy to a USB stick, go home, add to itunes, sync with idevice before I can get that file on my phone. Android cuts out the middle-man (itunes).

      For the record, my first android was the first galaxy S, bought a few weeks after getting the iphone 4. Sure the iphone had a smoother UI transitions vs the SGS on 2.1 eclair. But in terms of flexibility, the SGS trumped the iphone 4. I’m using a galaxy nexus now and a galaxy tab 10.1 for reading books/comics. My ipad is now only being used by my 4-year old for watching pocoyo on youtube.

    Yet another model from Samsung…. Samsung has become the number one smartphone manufacturer cos they have fones ranging from 5k and up…. while Apple believes in limited model in market and capitalizing on lean and mass production leading to higher profits, Samsung believes in variety of models and wider customer base (in terms of financial)..

    Sa tanong kung bakit sinama ang iphone 4s na i compare sa s3 despite the fact that it runs dual core because whether we accept it or not iphone still ranks no 1 when it come mobile devices. Masakit mang aminin pero that is the truth..I have an android tab (galaxy 7.7), an android phone (s2)and iphone 4s and don’t see anything wrong with these phones.. its more on popularity.. mind game lang to mga tol.. kung san ka masaya don ka pinili mo..

    i’d still choose Nokia Lumia 900 over those two phones by a mile. Windows Mobile Mango UI beats the banal and boring UI of iphones and the incredibly laggy UI of android. so what if Windows Mobile OS has only has 80K apps in its market?! it’s not as if all those 400k apps of android OS and the 600K apps of iOS are good! Kapag lumabas na ang WINDOWS 8, sapul na ang kalaban!

    • Avatar for deuts deuts says:

      Windows Mobile is extinct. Windows Phone na ngaun.

    • Avatar for YOY YOY says:

      i still prefer lumia phone…windows phone is not good looking in terms of UI design but it is superior in fluidity…Windows phone is late in market, but when windows 8 is release sure it will gain a lot of market share because OEM’s like samsung is waiting for this OS…windows phone is surely be benefited to this strategy..

    Nokia Lumia 900 is a Window Mobile Phone, why Im seeing “No” in Flash Support?

  17. Avatar for James James says:

    IOS will always be smoother than android OS. IMagine that it has to take a quad core phone just to achieve an almost similar UI smoothness from IOS. It is because of the way the OS was designed. Please see this : http://techland.time.com/2011/12/07/is-android-doomed-to-lag-more-than-ios/

      ^everything about here are opinions including yours! Ive been enlightened…no more Android for me. About time you realize that Android plays only second fiddle to the original!

    • Avatar for John John says:

      Well, of course ! Along with Windows Phone, the UI is built for true performance unlike Android. Look at how the Android fan is far blinded by the crappy operating system he is in. iOS is smoother than Android in terms of technical performances and OBVIOUSNESS.

    Kaya pala quad core itong S3 kasi kailangan sa voice command processing para di na kailangan ng data plan. Masyadong mabilis maglabas ng bago itong Samsung. Kakalabas lang ng Note ah. Di pa ba kontento ang Samsung sa kita nila sa Samsung parts ng iPhone? Gusto pa nilang talunin ang iPhone. Katakot din ang Android OS. Dami ng devices ng Android powered gaya ng TV, Bluray player, smartphones, atbp. Baka dumating ang araw lahat na ng consumer electronics ay Android OS na. Sana bumawi naman ang Apple. Asan na ang innovation.

    please do a galaxy s3 vs htc one x article :-) i think they are more of the same level than s3 vs iphone4s vs lumia900

    Samsung has overtaken Nokia in mobile handset sales. And it has it’s eyes on dominating the smartphone market. Unfortunately hardware is always one half of the equation, there is always its OS, and I believe this is Sammy’s achiles heel. Until the time that BadaOS becomes at par with IOS or it purchases/develops a beautiful but neglected Mobile OS from HP. It will always be dependent on google and google’s direction for android. Just think what would happen if google looses its case with Oracle?
