14 reasons why Galaxy S3 is better than Apple iPhone5…

Samsung has listed at least 14 features why it thinks its Galaxy S3 is better than the new iPhone5.

Titled, “It doesn’t take a genius,” the ad lists features such as NFC, S-Beam, shake to update and removable battery, among others.

Apple fans have already reacted calling it the most ridiculous ad that lists a few most meaningless features in its comparison.

Realistically a sid-by-side comparison of the two smartphones points to two phones capabale of taking on each other headon.

The iPhone5 comes with a new operating system - the iOS6 with a 4 Inch screen, compared to Samsung’s Icecream Sandwich  but upgradable to Android 4.1 Jelly bean with a 4.8” screen, which is almost 20g lighter and 1mm slender, IPS LCD display compared to Samsung’s Super AMOLED, a CPU speed of 1.2Ghz compared to Samsung’s 1.4 GHz, 8 megapixel camera on both handsets and a 10 hour long battery life compared to Samsung’s much longer 12-hour period.

Among the other features that Samsung lists on what’s missing in the iPhone 5 are:

Near Field Communication: the RFID technology that enables smartphones to seamlesslessly share, pair and transact wirelessly.

S Beam that uses NFC and wi-fi Direct to send files between two phones.

Smart Stay -  a feature that enables the S3’s screen to maintain a bright display as long as you're looking at it.

Share Shot –  that instantly shares photos with friends and family as long as they also have a Galaxy S3.

GroupCast – which Samsung says is an extension of the AllShare Play application that allows many people to view content at the same time and instantly interact.

Direct Call -  It knows when you want to talk: if you're sending a message but decide to call instead, simply lift the phone to your ear and it will dial your friend's number automatically.

Smart Alert - It knows when you've been away from your phone: a vibrating nudge lets you know that you have missed calls or messages.

Palm Swipe Capture – Capture screen by swiping it from right to left or vice versa with the side of your hand

Palm Touch Mute Pause – Mute or pause sounds by covering screen with your hand while playing media with the screen on

Among the other self-explanatory features listed are: Picturein Picture; Turn Over to Mute; Shake to Update and Removable Battery.

Reacting to the ad a posting on Cult of Mac ridicules the adsaying, “Look at that. Just look at it. That’s Samsung’s latest anti-iPhone 5 advert. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Not only is it one of the most slanted product comparisons I’ve ever seen, but it’s got a pitiful message: “Our phone is better because our contrived spec list is longer!” the posting by Alex Heathreads.

“And not only that, but the bottom half of the Galaxy SIII’s specs on this ad are meaningless anyways. They don’t inform you about why the Galaxy S III is actually a better phone. Who cares if you can “shake to update” your phone, Samsung? You wasted space by saying that your phone can make a “Direct Call” while the iPhone 5 can’t? Most people have no clue what “S-Beam,” “Smart Say,” “Picture In Picture” (was that feature named by a kindergardener?), or “Palm Touch Mute Pause” means. You’re right Samsung, it “doesn’t take a genius” to see that you have no clue how to market a smartphone,” the post adds.

    have a look at android and ios 2 years ago and now. android is simply more innovative <3 and in the near future.. i guess you all people already know ;)
  • petethepete 3 March 2013 15:30 1 1
    Reasons to buy the iphone..apple app store is far superior to android. Thats not a stupid reason when both phones can basically do the same things. Andro apps will get better in future though.
  • Hunter Bell 6 February 2013 07:42 6 1
    Both phones cost the same. I've had both and I must say I like the GS3 much more. Much better.
  • gabrielle 21 January 2013 20:32 4 2
    I'd choose the S3, IT'S BIGGER!!!!!!!

    It's funny how you so vehemently criticize ITpro as being pro-Apple in this comparison when Apple fans would say the opposite. :-) via http://mobileinindia.in

    Personally, I don't mean to hurt you apple fans.. but I feel like the galaxy s3 is probably the phone i'd pick if i had to choose. It's basically your opinion; but I feel like the galaxy s3 has better features that makes life rather better. I guess I'm not a simple person, so to those arty people and gamers, I suggest the s3. To those people who likes to have just a basic phone, go for the iphone5.

    I want one where EVERY feature works flawlessly and Apple delivers that EVERY time & My iPad cant have safari open for more than 5 minutes without crashing. As for apps, some work sometimes. I will never own another apple product.

    Iphone5 and samsung s3 both r same but the clarity of photos i5 wins
  • Jorge 19 September 2012 02:53 15 21
    Here we have another argument over What iPhone and Samsung can do and who is better. Bottom line... they both make calls, text, internet, email, take pics, GPS...(and so on)... neither of these phones are worth crying and whining over! WHO CARES??!!
  • Mr.Elix 17 September 2012 20:30 26 11
    in respect of technology and performabce S3 is far better then iphone 5, iphone 5 performance and value for money are 20% less than S3.
  • Nolan 17 September 2012 19:36 51 16
    The iphone is garbage! They've been behind the curve since Android released. The only reason they sell more phones is because people think that because it's called an iPhone that its better, hahaha. Ignorant people. Ask 10 iPhone users why they chose the iPhone and they will list things Android already has and does better. Ask them why they think the iPhone is better than the Android and you will hear them make idiots of themselves. :)
  • Dyllan 17 September 2012 15:21 16 53
    funny how the dual-core 1ghz in th iphone 5 beats the quad-core 1.4 ghz in the galaxy S3.
  • M. 17 September 2012 10:29 33 10
    I feel the worst feature of iPhone is that bluetooth sharing is only enabled for Apple to Apple. Samsung will beat Apple anywhere anytime, Iphone will belong to the stoneage very soon.
  • Mustafa 17 September 2012 10:12 8 28
    Better tell Samsung to concentrate on their OS Bada rather Jumping on some one else (Google Android) Innovation.If People feel S3 is better than iPhone5 they will Surely buy it. But the 21st Sept truth will come out that what actually people want to buy
  • Carmelo 16 September 2012 15:42 9 40
    Why d'not show my comments, only because its negative for samsung???????
  • Carmelo 16 September 2012 15:38 18 58
    Realy ? I know only that in 1 houre e 20 minutes apple sold 10 milion of iphone 5. Samsung in 3 months only 20 milion. Who is the best for the market. APPLE
  • MO 16 September 2012 14:28 59 26
    Now everyone understood that iPhone5 is a hoax, its just minor upgrade to iPhone4s, and Lumia920 & Galaxy S3 is far more better than iPhone.
  • nj 16 September 2012 14:13 24 28
    Nokia Lumia FTW!! who is with me??
  • Shazy 16 September 2012 10:33 18 73
    Samsung just wanna try everything so that their record set by S3 is not broken, but trust me these features which they've added on the ad just shows how scared and timid they are about the iphone's impact on the market.
  • Kevin 16 September 2012 08:44 26 86
    I don't want a phone with a 100 features or a 100 cores if it keeps crashing. I want one where EVERY feature works flawlessly and Apple delivers that EVERY time so paying a premium for an iPhone ($50 more than an Android phone) isn't a problem.
