1. Samsung Galaxy S III
vs
iPhone 4S

2. Introduction
Samsung unveiled their much-anticipated smartphone, after a long wait, the
Samsung Galaxy S III. The phone, much like its predecessor – Galaxy S II, has
top-drawer specifications and has potential to grab people’s eyeballs.
Samsung made a lot of improvements, both in terms of hardware specs, and
features. Being full of features, and having lot of horsepower under its hood, it
can give competition to any smartphone available in market today. That bring us
to a question, Will it be able to give really hard competition to arch rival iPhone
4S? Let us try to find out.

3. Comparison at a Glance:

4. The Screen
Samsung has once again outdone themselves. Galaxy S III boasts of HD Super
AMOLED PenTile display, measuring 4.8” with a resolution of 1280×720 and
306 PPI. But they are yet to outdo Apple iPhone 4S, which has 326 PPI for its
3.5-inch screen. iPhone 4S beats Galaxy S III in resolution comparison.

5. Cameras
The Galaxy S III boasts of two cameras with the ability to shoot in HD. The rear
camera has a resolution of 8 MP, capable of shooting HD
at 1080p at 30fps and pictures with stunning quality. It has 1.9 MP camera
in the front that can shoot HD at 720p. The rear camera matches the one
available in iPhone 4S, of 8MP, capable of recording HD at 1080p. Galaxy S
III wins for the front camera though, as iPhone 4S only has a VGA camera in
front.

6. The Processor
Samsung Galaxy S III comes with a mighty 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Quad-core
processor along with 1GB of RAM memory. iPhone 4S on the other hand
has an Apple’s A5 1GHz dual-core chip. Also, iPhone has only 512 MB RAM.
With more processing power and double sized RAM, Galaxy S III wins in this
segment as well.

7. Voice Recognition
Samsung also unveiled S Voice, which is Samsung Galaxy S III’s voice assistant
and is seen as direct competitor of Siri in iPhone 4S. The quality and
effectiveness of S Voice will only be known once the device launches in
public, but it can give Siri a tough competition to Siri, which was used by
Apple aggressively for promotion of iPhone 4S.

8. Conclusion
Those who enjoy the Android OS will prefer the Samsung, and the Apple iOS
fanboys will prefer the iPhone. In my opinion, with its features and better
hardware, Samsung Galaxy S III seems to have an edge over iPhone 4S. It will
be interesting to see how it matches up to iPhone 5, which is scheduled for
launch later this year. What are your views about the comparison? Let us
