I would like to write a review in the form of a comparison between the S3 and the iPhone 4, from the perspective of a 'Umsteigers'. I have had the ip3gs and the IP4. The last 3 years. So have some experience with iOS. The S3 is my first Android phone.
Let's start with the exterior and this must be said that I do not the exact millimeter and gram information see here, but purely subjective impressions, this also applies to all other information that I will write here. I'll try to present the whole story for the 'normal user in everyday use' and not, is clocked at how much megahertz of quad-core processor '.! ;-)
All technical features were now being expected here addressed adequately.
Size / 'in hand':
-The S3 is greater. Point. Yes, no news flash, I know.
-As IP4 user you will have to get used something because the way with his thumb, which can indeed mostly used are longer.
-It Is simply fact that one more 2nd Hand needed than the IP4. Because there is no discussion!
-The S3 however, is much flatter and easier.
-Hosentaschentauglich It all, from his shirt pocket but it sticks out prominently.
-The IP4 disappears completely in the shirt pocket.
Switching on and off:
-The S3 drives in a very short time high, no comparison to the IP4.
-Also The reboot process is much faster than the IP4.
Display:
-The Display has convinced me. And completely. And this Pentile chatter me is something of matter, namely I look with my own eyes on the screen and not a measuring instrument with which I, the number of pixels - brightness, intensity, arrangement, and what I still know everything can measure !!
-I Turn on and review what I see. And what I see is great.
-The S3 has a somewhat 'more colorful' display when the IP4. The IP4 acts vllt little adult in the S3 playful something.
-man can choose 4 different display representations that are different saturated at S3, however.
-zudem even brighter and darker filters (surprise !!) :-)
-in comparison to the IP4 I personally find the display beautiful and I love it more fun, it watch.
Menu:
-Here are probably talk most IP4 user when switching to Android heads hot and break.
-I Think it's done too much wind around the changeover.
-Halloooo ?? You change the operating system, not the denomination !! (Not to be confused with clothing!) Makes no religious war of !!
-I Have found myself after a few hours getting along better and the things that I was looking for, and found.
-Now Tell everyone: 'Yeah, but when you can find everything IP4 faster!' Hand on heart times: In the first 10 minutes with the IP I have not found everything I was looking for. This has lasted until the handles were! As can tell me something else also no.
-JA! When S3 some things are more complicated, no question. But everything goes in ip4 so super fast and easy ?? I call only once turning on BT. Without Shortcut App !! When S3 underline down and activate the top of the speed dial menu BT !! There you can activate and deactivate also GPS, WLAN, sound settings, sleep mode, and more. For me, the fast times Wireless makes happy on and off, or BT times only half an hour requires a fine thing! Since it is the IP4 ahead.
-All Other gimmicks, the S3 as well as the IP4 and vice versa.
I will not write too much on the menu, together amount almost be said that after getting the entire number as good or bad (a matter of opinion) works, as with the IP4. The widgets are a great thing and fun and most importantly, they help in everyday life.
AppStore / PlayStore:
-Also Here again the same old story:
-As should we measure the value of both 'shops'? Both marketplaces have a lot of good and a lot of scrap. In the a costs 'Cut the Rope' 0.68, while others 0.79. When a 'XY' is free, it will cost 'YX' what and vice versa. A lot of good apps on the start and as much waste. Done.
-Large Advantage Apple: you can pay in various ways, while PlayStore z currently ONLY by credit card... But that's what also prepaid credit cards, if you do not want to reveal the characteristics of its 'proper' credit card there.
Sync software 'gravel' and 'iTunes':
views somewhat flippant ago from: Whoever complained about iTunes, gravel has never seen before !! :-)
-OK, Sometimes seriously. Gravel does what it should. it synct. I pers. Find iTunes but to lengths more comfortable and easier to use. But so be it, that is a matter of pers. Setting. This will see each other.
I've thrown a MacBook Pro and since gravel is all contacts, data, dates etc to the S3 and the matter was finished. No big action.
I can transfer to my channel selection and am always someone who does not every 4 hours substitutes for his music and has to make all things new. What I like coming to my phone and I like that then also in 4 days.
Espionage:
-I have this point deliberately exaggerated called espionage. Now tell me but please not that not every mobile phone software maker in any way uses our data stores and 'monitors' !! One people, if you pay by credit or debit card are just stored the data. On PC no one gets upset if you're looking at 'Zalando' shoes and then for 3 days later at 'N24' shoes as banners on the 'N24' page displayed receives. Only the mobile phone, it is the devil! Bullshit.
-Who Is on Facebook and co must not get upset about the software of his mobile phone only once !!
-Fertig!
CONCLUSION:
In my view, the absolute S3 Advantages:
- Replaceable battery
- Expandable memory
- Powerful battery
The IP4 and the S3 are the current flagships of both manufacturers. I see none of the devices have a really serious point that would make a change for good money notwenidig. But it has the opportunity, as I, to receive one or the other device for next to nothing (business-related), you can dare to change times.
I am neither Apple or Android fanboy, so I say quite clearly that an 'expensive' change from IP4 to S3 and vice versa, probably not worth it. For both devices lack the 'wow' arguments in relation to the others. Who needs a new phone can totally flirting with a move. Take your time to look into the times of S3 menu, one probably handled at a friend a bit so rum and makes you a picture of it. Just please proceed with the IP4.
This I have now received the S3 für'n 'Appel and n I' :-), I have not done anything wrong. Personally, I am very satisfied with the S3 and also with Android.
And as I said, there are 2 phones, 2 operating systems, not 2 religions. Who it looks like, has in his life other problems as these 2 phones.
If you have questions or suggestions, I am at your disposal.
