Hey everyone!
Help needed. I really like iPhone 4 s but my friends says Samsung Galaxy S3 is better than all the iPhones...I quite like the new features of Samsung Galaxy S3...but is that enough to buy a phone with a 2 year contract....Can anyone help and point me in the right direction whether should i wait for iPhone 5 or just bank on the best deal available on Samsung Galaxy s3??

Thanks in advance

    iPhone was when it was first out back in 2007 the best phone on the market, no question but now they aren't as good as some on the market. Galaxy S II is still a great phone, you might even want to look at the HTC One X. As for the Galaxy S III, all the reviews have said that it is a very good bit of kit.

    Galaxy S3 v/s ...iPhone 5
    How can you compare S3 to something that has not been released yet?

    if you start waiting for the next best thing to come out,you could be waiting a long time ,
    there's always some thing better round to corner,
    samsung galaxy s3 if not already ordered it could be a week or two if your unlucky (my opinion)
    iphone 5 or what ever it may be called is October on words the rumars are saying

    which one is best ,let me look at my glass ball
    there or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff

    To some die hard Apple fans - probably yes.
    Will it do anything extraordinary that you can't already do on the current iPhone or a lot of other phones for that matter....probably not.
    It's all a matter of personal choice at the end of the day.

    If you are making a purchase on what your friend's may think, then let them pay for the contract, you get what YOU like, not what everybody else may think!
    So on that premise, you like the iphone, then that is what you get! If they feel the Samsung is better for their requirements then they can get the samsung.
    What's the problem?

    You haven't said what makes one phone better than another for you. For me, it's a no brainer. I'm unlikely to ever buy a smartphone without a memory card slot (or at least, a method of increasing storage space) and Apple seem unlikely to ever accomodate that requirement. But each person will have their own needs, likes and dislikes. What are yours?

    I upgraded from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy s2 and personally I dont like it so will be going back to an iPhone when the 5 comes out. Its all personal opinion though!

  • What you could do is wait until the IP5 is released and then make a decision - in the meanwhile the S3 will probably have dropped in price...
