    I have an iPhone 5 and my boyfriend has a Galaxy S3 so I've had the chance the play around with both of them quite a lot and the S3 is a superior phone BY FAR. The screen is much nicer and more responsive, faster processor, better camera, more sound options when listening to music (more options altogether), much easier to transfer files from PC.

    But I actually prefer my iPhone because of the apps/games that are available that you can't get on Android.

    They're both competitively priced and there are some good iPhone 5 deals out there. We both pay the same amount each month on our phone bill so I don't think the iPhone more expensive.

    What deal do you have on your iPhone? I'm just asking because all the 24 month deals I've seen work out significantly cheaper over the whole term of the contract with the S3.

    I'm going from what I've seen using the contract comparison tool on this site. The cheapest high data iPhone tariff worked out at £723 over 24 months compared to around £200 cheaper with the S3.

    I upgraded through Tesco mobile. It's £35 per month with 1000 mins, unlimited text, 2GB internet on a capped contract. I did find better deals when I was shopping around but decided to stay with Tesco because I've found their customer service really good.

    I have always been an iPhone fan, had a 3GS then a 4S, but then switched to a Samsung Galaxy 3, the screen is nice and big but its just not the same
    Well that stands to reason. If you wanted the same, why did you switch?

    Consider blackberry z10
  • Or consider saving loads of dosh and have a look at the Nexus 4 now it's actually available again! Stunning phone for a crazily low price.
