iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S3 vs. Lumia 920: spec by spec rundown

Your specs are all wrong. So many wrong I won't even begin to point them out.
I hope no one actually looks at these and thinks this is whats inside these phones.

Great analogy, I never thought of that. You sure don't see alot of rich people driving Hyundai, do you? Eventhough they have better specs <grin>

Battery life iPhone about half of that Galaxy, so you will run up recharging cycles at double the rate. The iPhone battery is not user replaceble and the Galaxy's is.

Looking at design: I think the Lumia 920 is very beautiful and daring. Within 5 years the lumia 920 still holds many design elements which are durable. Like a yellow Lamborgini . The iphone 5 has also greatly design, but it lacks excitement. In my eyes the i5 looks like a well designed traditional car, like an Audio A6. The G3 reveals no identity to me. It is just a powerhouse phone, just like a fast Subaru.

It's called e-mail ... this feature is nothing new .. been in Exchange for years.

FaceTime ..you are joking right ? video calling via your phone... something that alomst all phones had since 2003 .. that apple only allows between one iPhone to another.. and only via WiFi .. when everyone has done it via 3G and WiFi for years..

Not a bad update, as iOS is qualitatively superior OS compared to android it will make a nice upgrade for the apple crowed.

However, I will not one of them . After suffering lots of stability & performance issues from almost every droid (including my current SGS III) I've pretty much made up my mind and going for a WP device next time around (mostly likely Lumia 920, less likely ATIV S). I think android is like Linux which is really fun to play with (just to make it work), but after a while it isn't fun anymore. There is a reason that 22% of the android users want to jump ship .............

@Julio
As far as I know, the international version of SGS III has an Exynos 4412 quad core SoC (with Mali 400MP GPU) not the S4 quad core as mentioned in that comparison.

(after a massive ****-up I've eventually got this post to where I intended it to be, but you have to forgive me as I was at work when I made this mistake ).

Apple design is not change , Apple had sue samsung for some stupid reason and all of the design and size had been use by other company, if Apple use those design the pattern war will come. Let see who is the 1st to sue Apple first or Apple sue other......

That's why there are multi platform apps. Or perhaps you bought your iphone to use it with the preinstalled apps only?

Ill go back to nokia,if it suits all my needs and up to date technology..

Does anybody feel like an The Galaxy S3 is nothing but a Galaxy S2 HD lol

The stats on the galaxy sIII lie, it is going to be running google 4.1 jelly bean

completely right, I went from a zune hd to a nook color, I tried going back, but I will never manage it

Should have included GPU comparison as well.

Techspot fail!

What the smart guys seem to be missing, or don't wish to acknowledge, is the HUGE PC installed based (Office and Home) that Windows 8 and Windows 8 Phone tie together. We are waiting for the release to get on board. All Windows 8 Phone has to be is a equal competitor.

No ones going to be using W8 thought since it sucks ***.

I would never touch an apple - only because I'm not a walled garden type of person

I have enjoyed having an adroid device although initially it was not the best because so many things ere changing and therefore unstable - this is slowly dying down as the platform matures

I will give windows 8 a look - not because I like MS but because if it is able to provide MS Office integration then that for me will be a huge selling point - no android office compatibility product can substitute for native MS Office

Surely if you need MS Office you'll want a laptop?

I have an iPad type bluetooth keyboard that I use with Motorola Razr XT910 (Android). When I go to meetings, I do not take my laptop with. I use King's Office and Quick Office. I would also like the option for MS Office because in that they are still "king".

I would not go for the Samsung S3 just because of the really flimsy back cover. I chose the Motorola because it was the best value for money by far. It is also very strong and splash proof. If money was not an problem, I would rather go for the One-X. I really believe HTC is a good company and the OneX does not disappoint. The new Motorola Razr will also be a great choice.

I wanted to get a Nokia Lumia 800 but the price was just ridiculous compared to the Motorola and MS made me angry for not upgrading Windows 7 devices. I still think that MS' OS will be the best. Android still lags in quite a few areas, even against much older Windows 6.1 and 6.5 devices. The calender of Android is not as great as Outlook. You cannot set an appointment's priority like in Outlook. If you use smart actions to set your phone on vibrate, you will miss calls when just having a pick nick. Even my old HTC Touch2 had this option in Outlook. Google has been busy with its calender for years and still no luck. I use Business Calender which has this (only free and busy though) but there is not option for smart actions. Before ICS, I struggle to get Bluetooth to work seemlesly - bluetooth worked fine with my very old Moto Q9H.

Android has one other major problem and that is proper syncing with Outlook. The best options with Android is either to use MyPhone Explorer or to just use Google Calender. Neither compares with good old MS Active Sync. Google Calender is inferior to Outlook.

iPhone? Not for me... Just one word: "propriety" Apple hates standards except their own! They won't share one piece of the cake. They want it all. If they would get 80% of the market (like Intel) they would demolish everything. If they would be the only computer company left in the world, well then maybe I will use an abacus and pen and paper. They have the big bully mentality.

The 920 looks to be great but the price will be too high. I also had very bad experiences with Nokia's service in the past. They stole two phones from me. One was the 6210 which were known for giving many problems. Mine did as well and they said it was water damage. It was not near any water ever. They gave the same error report on another phone of mine which never went near water. In contrast, my HTC Touch2 lay in a sewage drain for three hours with a charged battery. It was dead, but after a good cleaning, I used it for another year and a half. It even fell into a bath once during that time. Great phone.

My other issue with MS is of course the lack of apps. I needed a good Bible program and nothing on MS works like And Bible or My Sword. Even iPhone cannot compete here. Yes, they support Logos, but it costs a fortune. So it all boils down to what you need the phone for. For me, Android is by far the best choice even if MS might technically be better. What does it help if you have a great Roll's Royce but without a steering?

iPhone usually wins this one with S3 not a close second. For me this is not crucial. I do not buy a phone for playing games all day. My Motorola Razr (not a great GPU) does just fine in 3D for me. I sometimes play Raging Thunder which is nice and smooth.
