        s3 is a rubbish phone with crapy blue tinted screen and over saturated amoled colors. Even the htc one x has much better screen than s3. Apple ecosystem is still the best.

                  Analysts.......

                  Apple post record numbers quarter after quarter, year after year and yet these same "Analysts" are consistently surprised and wrong.

                    Clean s3 vs iphone .. S3 better battery life.

                    A loaded s3 vs iphone .. Iphone has better battery life.

                    Same with note 2 sadly.

                    Unless s4 is nuclear powered.. The result is still the same.

                    Oh yeah.. S3, note 2 is not good resolution yet.. So please hold it abit further alway so u cant see those pixel.

                            AnonD-39608, 16 Jan 2013Mid Range??? tell me one android that can blaze past the iP... moreS3, Note2, Onex+, Optimus, DNA, Experiaz... are all equal or better performance-wise... plus its way easier to run an OS that doesn't do anything (iOS). Even if speed tests are equal or close (apples to apples), I'll take all the other hardware and software advantages that come with the Androids and even some Windows phones, for the same price or cheaper.... Sorry but iPhone just doesn't hang anymore...

                              AnonD-58835, 16 Jan 2013It says SHIPPED which does NOT mean SOLD!!!. Samsung offers... moreLOL. haHaHA! Good one. You're not really serious though right? Oh wait, you are. If you want to know who always reports shipped numbers it's Samsung. That 100 million Galaxy sales number... it's shipped. 30 million at the beginning of November .... its's shipped. That 30 million in JANUARY... Yeah, that was sold. If it took them 2 extra months to sell 30 million (after the busiest shopping season) then how many were actually sold at the beginning of November? Don't hurt yourself thinking too much, you're a Samsung fanboy after all. Apple reports sales numbers in their press releases. Wait until they (not some analyst) release their numbers to see how many actually made it into customers' hands. As for Samsung, if you believe their numbers are sold units then I've got a bridge to sell you.

                                      Well I have also bought a 4s 16Gb, as a long time android user I have decided to give it a try. Googles policy which prevented me to buy apps like 'celestial' or 'navionics' also helped. I payed 1000 usd which is the price of 4s in my country. But you know guys now I dont understand why there is an argument between iphone and android. Because android is clearly better to me(freedom to solve things in a way that makes sense to you, easier much more options etc.). I am not a fanboy of anything I use both phones now galaxy S and 4s, but I am frustrated with the i phone.

                                        iphone fanboys should start asking one question. Why do we (android users) pay up to $800 for android phones when we can get phone 4s for free on a contract? Yes, you are right, its partly because we don want a contract, but thats not the only reason. Its more because we dont want an inferior product. I dare you guys, have a look at the sony xperia Z videos, and THEN tell me android phones are bad? Now add the fast growing android market share, is this all because of low end units? How big ARE the sales of low end Xperia/Galaxy units? Give me numbers to prove that the low end is lifting android alone.
