iPhone 4s vs Samsung Galaxy S3

[Singer]

guys please help me choose one of these.. their specifications sound quite similar and i already have an iphone 3g(Got kinda bored with it).
i will mainly use my phone for music, games(if i get bored while travelling or in a party) and photography. ya i do watch videos on it occasionally.
how is the sound quality on both of it? Please help me with your opinions..

God bless..

I own a S2. This was for my friend with a limited budget. Given his limited budget, I advised him on an Android phone against an iPhone because it would've been quite an old device.
Now, he's pissed off with the lag and there exists no developer support to help solve that.


Btw, a 3GS does not lag like this one does.

Already answered hundreds of times before. Just uninstall samsung's touchwiz. Install an ICS build of any stable CM build or even a stock image and you are good to go.

ROFL.. Stable CM build. And what stage is CM7/CM9/CMX on..

And pray what do you mean by stock image?

Stop it please.. I am going to fall off my bed laughing..!

I was talking about the Motorola Defy XT. Read the post of mine just before the post you quoted.

Talking about S2, the lag isn't bothersome, eitherway. Btw, Im running JB.

Seriously, most people commenting here haven't used an iphone. And just because a user can root a rom and install firmware on a phone doesnt make them an expert.
Precisely. They DONT want to use Iphone. That is why there is an argument. Most people here on Android havent tried Iphone because:
1. They didnt feel they lack anything which has been advertised by Apple
2. They dont generally want to waste 45k when they can do much more in 30
Read the thread! This thread is full of users who are trying to prove that their sub-15,000 phones have more features (run **ANDROID**)and hence, are better than an iphone.



Copy Paste a basic feature.! So you use this feature every 30 minutes like you sms and call, right?
Yes it is a basic feature. Just because your beloved half baked OS didnt have one doesnt make it advanced. It is like saying my car doesnt have reverse gear. Do I use reverse gear every 5 minutes: No. Is it basic and esstential : Yes

I recommend you do some reading before commenting.



There is nothing beautiful about it, it is only because it is free. Also, 85% of all iphones are running the latest ios, in the Android realm only 15% currently run ICS which is AFAIK, 1 year old.
Which means? People who are not upgrading dont require it. The older versions of Android are more than enough to satisfy a normal customer who needs iOS x to copy paste maybe or iOS y to send SMS when rejecting a call
Yes, most android devices lag a certain amount. Even the SII does after the ICS update. Just keep a GB SII, ICS SII side by side and let them go on standby and press the 'Home' key.
Not true. I have used captivate and Note on MIUI, CM. PA. Stock Image and none of them lag even an iota. Quadrant scores are way better than Iphone
Why? Poorly optimised code..
Again , No comments. May be you are Bill Gates or Zucky who knows coding in and out

Oh well! I should have known it already..!

hehe mebbe mirgi ke daure pad rahe hain...stock image is what it says on the tin...stock image....Android released for the device as is (across different countries).
For note, CM9 has had an RC2 which I am using currently, and it is way better than my friends iOS which cant share files on bluetooth and lags while playing 1080p game of thrones.

Can you change keyboard of iPhone?
Can you change the launcher of iPhone?
Can you put whatever files you want on the memory of iPhone?
Can you connect to any PC/Mac and put the files on iPhone?
Can you run simultaneous tasks on iPhone?
Can you download files from stock browser of iPhone?
Can you remove battery of iPhone and put another one in case of emergency?
Can you increase memory capacity(SD Card) of iPhone?
Can you put widgets on iPhone which can give you information without searching the apps?
Can you customize iPhone besides changing wallpapers?

Man there are so many things and you still stuck on lag........
I am too using S2 and there is no lag. I dont know how you said that there is no developer support for S2.

iPhone Lovers: Please dont mention that you can acquire few of the things after jail breaking on iPhone. I didnt mentioned what can be done on Android when its rooted.

Aenge hi janab.. Aap baat hi aisi karte hain..

This time along at least you know what are you talking about. I will give you that..

Still waiting for a tutorial to 'develop' a ROM for Note though..

Oh now it is your friend. The way you talk about lag is as if every single swipe is a slideshow. My first android device was ZTE Blade (600 MHz processor). It never lagged unless I played games on it. The I switched S2 and now I have galaxy nexus.
I don't even believe that the phone lags so much that it becomes frustrating for the user. If you think one should buy an 2-3 year old iPhone just to get rid of minor lag, then fair enough. Btw lag free galaxy nexus with modern hardware costs only 21,600. How much does a 2-3 year old 3GS cost?

Why? You couldnt understand any of the ones already posted on XDA? Or you love me so much that you want a personal tutorial from me only? Or do you want me to prove myself to you? Why would I do that? And that too to an iOS user? Never.

Btw from the 20-30 questions in the last 2 posts....this is the only thing you could post?

Jeeesus sweeet christ, I was talking about the Motorola Defy XT which I got for my friend. Not about the S2 I own.

You forgot ringtones...

I didnt mentioned many things, let some iPhone smart lover reply to above

 

[msankadi]

:bleh: have been refreshing this thread every few minutes in the office now...want to see another illogical reply from the smart people

 

[pratikb]

@Someone above said : Above 10K Android phones doesnot lag.
Well, I got Motorola Defy XT for 15. And it lags.

even 40k s3 also lags on quad core and s2 also lags.
its inherent nature of android OS that makes it lag.
even if you put hexacore with 4 gb ram,your android will lag due to simple fact that android runs all application in sandboxed enviornement

for lamer's

sandbox means virtual machine isolated from core OS

i hope android fan boy understand this basic fact about android written in English.

 

[pratikb]

and this is how well upgraded or fast updating android is.

 

[pratikb]

gingerbread,OS of last yr on this yrs phone.

this is latest OS report .
is this how fast android is developing?

 

[abhifusion]

^ Where does it lag ? I will pay close attention while performing that task on my S3 to observe it...

 

[msankadi]

hahaha none of you could reply to the 20-30 questions and again started ridiculous discussions...y would people upgrade there os if the older one is working great for them?

Please apple iFanboyaaaz read the above posts and answer the 20-30 questions before adding more crap to this already crappy thread

 

[kkchhetri01]

Accept it. You can't.

Why because, you absolutely know nothing about how to build a rom from source, you do not knkw what libs and binary blobs are , can not review and adapt a kernel. I'd not be surprised if you know anything about 'cooking' a ROM as well.

In fact to come of it, you probably only know how to flash from ODIN (heimdal is too above you) or use CWM (the blue black thing..).

It is really good to see peeps like you in XDA. Otherwise we'd be talking all the serious stuff, all the time and there would be nothing to laugh about.. Once in a while..

Awesome assumptions. Well Done. Now if I can only assume the same way that you are mentally retarded and posting this from an asylum? I can assume even worse things but I guess assumptions are just that, assumptions.

1. They didnt feel they lack anything which has been advertised by Apple

Yes it is a basic feature. Just because your beloved half baked OS didnt have one doesnt make it advanced. It is like saying my car doesnt have reverse gear. Do I use reverse gear every 5 minutes: No. Is it basic and esstential : Yes

tut tut.. 2.3 GB was releases in 2010 not last year.. So you should be saying OS from the year before last year. 2011 was the year of the mighty ICS..
