And if thats the case so we can match a sgs3 with jb and a iphone 5 with ios7 then? Just accept the truth. Time passes by and ur sgs3 is not the best right now. Dont worry just wait for ur sgs4 next yr. and we'll wait with iphone5s. :))

              i'm really made a bad choice in buying s3 . i should've waited for iphone 5. the next big thing is here now- iphone 5 . the benchmarks say everything bout a device . the apple a6 is like intel n s3 processoces is like AMD . even if it has more ghz it simply cannot beat the a6 . will sell my s3 soon for a good price.

                  Its not really "examined in detail" more like "chosen details". If you gonna compare, do it right.

                        Lolhaha, 22 Sep 2012Poor samcheapfandroids out there. Before iphone 5 they said... moreall these 'benchmarks' are inconsistent at best, while an iPhone 5 scores 1601(geekbench) an S3 scores 1788, but if you were to use JB this jumps to 2052.

                        integer: iphone 1220 vs 1313 galaxy s3
                        floaing point: iphone 2051 vs 2355 galaxy s3

                        What is interesting is what happens in Jelly Bean.

                        integer: galaxy s3 ICS 1313 vs 1805 galaxy s3 JB
                        floaing point: iphone galaxy s3 ICS 2051 vs 3163 galaxy s3 JB

                        45% improvement from the jellybean update ;)

                          Can't wait for a side by side comparision between Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean compared to the iPhone 5!
                          These pictures mean nothing! It's like comparing an iPhone 5 with iOS5 on it to a S3 with Jelly Bean!

                                      Benchmark? hehehe but you are still contained with limited things to do. Unable to use as mobile storage, still no SD card slot, unable to transfer files via bluetooth (to other non iphone device), built-in battery. All these features are available to other smartphones.

                                      Oh i forgot, if Apple add these features to their iPhone, a lot of company will sue them.
