What should i buy, iPhone 5 or galaxy s3?

[James]

So i am planning to buy a phone for 2-3 years. considering that what phone should i buy? i heard iPhone 5 has better camera and faster speed. apple has more apps. but android is more flexible.
Please don't just say which i should buy, but also explain why.
Thank you.

i would say galaxy andriod because even though there are many benefits to an iphone there is always complications and stuff with them they can be broken easy just by putting them into the computer and restoring them if they are unlocked and stuff like that. so you should go for andriod (; i hope this helped it is just my opinion but i love them both,

Android is more comfortable than iPhone..
1: Browsing
Let me first say I do like the Safari browser on the
iPhone. It’s fast, it’s reliable, it’s stable. But flexible?
Flash? Monopolistic? Yes Safari is the only browser for
the iPhone, and that browser still does not do Flash.
However, the Android browser is one of the best
browsers on the mobile market. On my HTC Hero, I
have Opera Mini, Dolphin, and the default Browser. I
haven’t used Opera Mini since I used it a couple of
times upon installation. Dolphin is outstanding, with
its use of Tabs and Gestures. But the default Android
browser just can’t be beat. It usually loads pages
faster than Safari, has Flash support, and simply does
everything a browser should do.
2: Desktop
Instead of just having icons littering your phone’s
desktop (like the iPhone), the Android phone adds
widgets to the desktop. These widgets tend to have an
actual purpose. For example:
The Twitter Widget allows you to update your
Twitter status from your mobile desktop.
The People Widget allows you to enable different
actions for different contacts right from your
desktop (say you want to call your wife with a
single click and text your child from a single click).
The Messages Widget allows you to instantly see
your email from the desktop.
The Android desktop is on a completely different level
from the iPhone desktop. To compare them is actually
unfair. Apples to Éclairs as it were.
3: Connectivity
On one of the “pages” of my Hero desktop, I have
four buttons:
Turn on/off bluetooth
Turn on/off Wifi
Turn on/off Mobile Network
Turn on/off GPS
These buttons let you instantly switch on or off the
various connectivity options, which will go a long way
toward conserving battery life. There is also an app in
the Market called Y5, which will turn off Wi-Fi
automatically when no known wireless network is
available. To do any of this on the iPhone, you have
to go into the Settings screen and navigate your way
around the various options.
4: PC connection
Unlike the iPhone, you don’t need to have iTunes to
manage your phone. Now, I say this with a bit of a
chewed-up tongue because Android can’t sync with
the Linux desktop yet. That’s okay for now. But
Android can mount the SD card so that it is usable
(via drag and drop) by any operating system. On this
you can add music and files, which will then be
usable on the phone. Simple.
5: Multi-notification
One of the issues I’ve always had with the iPhone is
its notification system. Basically, it depends upon a
single system that not all applications have access
too. For instance, if you are a Twitterer, you can find
out if you have updates only by opening the Twitter
app on the iPhone. With Android, the apps have
access to the notification system and can all report.
The notification bar on the Android phone can alert
you to new voice messages, email messages,
Facebook notifications, new Gmail, new text
messages, and much more. If an app has a
notification, it can let you know quickly, and in the
background.
6: Endless personalization
I hesitate to place this on the list because so many
readers seem to think user-configuration is worthless.
It’s not. The Android phone allows users to configure
their mobile to look and behave exactly how they
want it. If you’re a social network power user, you
can have a screen for Facebook, one for Twitter, one
for texting, and one for Flickr. Or if you are a
business user, you can have a screen for contacts, for
your calendar, for gmail, for email, for RSS, and
more. Not only can you configure the desktop the way
you want, you can configure the behavior of your
phone. Set up default actions for different contacts —
even add an entirely different desktop, should you
want. The possibilities are endless with the Android
phone. With the iPhone, you’re pretty much limited
to what Apple says.
7: Market
Yes, Apple has an app for that. But so does Android.
And chances are, the Android app is free and works
as well (or better) than the iPhone app. And, believe
it or not, there are thousands of apps in the Android
Market. Apple does not (at least yet) have a patent
on an application for just about everything. Give it
time though. And installing applications on your
Android phone is actually easier than it is on the
iPhone. For free applications, you don’t have to worry
about entering a password every time you try to
install anything. And you do not have to link to
Apple’s iTunes store to purchase applications from the
Android Market. For those apps that have a price, you
enter your information on the Google Market one
time and you’re done.
8: Google integration
This one is almost not fair, since Android was built
with the intention of integrating with Google. But wow
does it integrate well. Want to search Google? Simply
click the search button, enter your search string, and
you’re off and running. Did I mention Google Voi

It would say the android. The iphone isnt that revolutionary. The android SIII has multitasking which lets you text, email, or what ever but you can still have a YouTube video playing. Like you can have it in the top corner and text at the same time. You can also have face unlock. It also has LTE. You only get this feature if you live in Canada in th united states. Nfc. Can pay wirelessly. Widgets. Just an around better bigger phone the the iphone.
