Samsung S3 or iPhone5?

[Christian]

I have the exact same question... I have never had a smartphone before. From what i can read in different tests it seems as an overall tie between Samsung S3 (4g version) and Iphone 5. Some of my friends are fan of iphone and others the s3, so i dont know what to do. However I must say, that based on the specifications and the fact that s3 is more open (iphone having a locked system) + the positive upgrade of jelly bean (4.1) i think i will choose the s3. If i had an ipad and macbook, then ill probably buy iphone as they would work perfectly together, but i havent...

Iphone seems more like buying a specific smart identity. All iphone users love to flash their phone in front of others and be looked upon as apple users, which kind of scares me away.
