Samsung or iPhone

chib

I've owned all of the iPhones from the original through to the 4S and when the 5 was released I thought I'd jump ship and try the Samsung Galaxy S3 for a year.

I'd previouslly tried an HTC Magic and HTC Sensation and couldn't get on with either of those... the Samsung is in a different league altogether! It runs just as smooth as an iPhone and has just as many great (Mostly the same) apps.

I would argue though that the camera quality of the iPhone 4S is much better than the Samsung Galaxy S3.

As a tech-geek, I'm loving the flexibility - very easy to load on a variety of different firmwares that change the handset experience altogether (Though the stock runs the best) changing the homescreen to display what you want to to (News, Weather, Etc) is awesome.

Another benefit, my mobile phone insurance is through my Ultimate Reward account - the excess for the iPhone is £100 and only £30 for the Samsung should anything happen.

I wonder what apps does S3 have that Sensation doesn't...

Nexus 4 would be my choice FANTASTIC value for money compared to afore mentioned Iphone and Samsung devices.

Yeah bad subject to bring up! LOL Im an Iphone fan! I understand people have different needs and tastes though so i would go and try them both and decide what you want it for. I like the Iphone for games and i personally think the camera is better than any android even though it may not be the highest pixel rate. The Iphone 5 has 1080p camera for video recording and a 720p front camera. Also i love the app store has so many games and other things that there is to much to choose from! That being said i do like other phones and understand also that there are things the Android do better. I have had 3 Iphones and never had any issues with any of them and when i swap them over all my information is backed up on itunes inlcuding contacts and everything so takes no time to swap over phones.

xperia T is full hd and has a 13mp camera and the screens use the sony bravia tv tech so vids and photos look amazing.

Agreed, it's fantastic value, better specs than an S3, and runs the latest version of stock Android (sans Samsung's bloatware), also your gauranteed to get speedy OS updates in the future.

Unless you need greater than 8/16gb storage, I would choose it over the Samsung or fruit phone.
