Are Samsung Smartphones Now Officially Better That Apple Iphones? by Olumidzti(m): 1:41am On Mar 21, 2013
There was a wide popularity for Samsung galaxy SIII when it was introduced to the market last year. It pushed Samsung to a favourable place in her battle with Apple. The samsung galaxy s3 was a better all-round phone than iPhone 4 @ the time. It was also cheaper so it was a win for consumers on both sides. Now onto 2013, Samsung is about to release galaxy s4 smartphone into the market on 26th of April. There has been much hype already with so many new features that will grace the phone. Some popular ones are 'smart scroll' & 'smart pause' which allows you to use the movement of your eyes to scroll up & down. When watching a video, it pauses when you look away from the screen. There's a feature that allows you to operate the phone when your hand gets near the phone without actually touching it. There's also a feature that allows you to use both front and rear cameras @ the same time & other countless features. On account of all these innovations by Samsung, can we now say officially that they make better phones than Apple?

sentiments apart (& I don't belong to any faction), samsung has beaten apple in many ways. And even Steve Jobs in his grave cannot contest that fact.

The statistics tell us that anybody on here that says the iPhone is crap vs the Samsung, is in the minority, because despite everything, the iPhone 5 is still the biggest selling phone with just three models, despite the fact that Samsung are bringing out a new device like almost every week.
My opinion why iPhone is better;
- the biggest apps ALWAYS come to iPhone first. Check history and you will see
- android is the most insecure OS there is today. Buggy and not secure.
- iTunes still has largest media collection
- easy to back up into the cloud with iCloud built in
- if my iPhone breaks or I need ANY support whatsoever, I can walk into any Apple store in The world an it gets sorted (I appreciate that this doesn't happen in Naija tho)
- video compression over email
- updates to OS are quicker and more frequent
- classier phone (glass, vs the plastic on the S3 and S4)
- thinner and lighter. If I need a massive screen I will buy a tablet, not a phone
- better speaker
- iTunes U: free app with one of the largest collection of free education tools on the web

These are just opinions, and are my opinions. But again, judging by sales alone most people still prefer te iPhone over The galaxy, even though galaxy is cheaper. That says something

yes that's true. But apple iphone5 selling more than samsung galaxy s3 in the last quarter of 2012 doesn't mean it's a better phone than galaxy s3. And if apple were not so desperate, we should be comparing samsung galaxy s3 with iPhone 4s not 5. & iPhone 5 with s4 which you already know what the outcome will be.

they know, they just won't accept it. That's y you've not seen many comments from iPhone fans. If it was 2 or 3 years ago, they would hv stood up for iPhone.

To be honest, Samsung looks more creative in terms of software but iPhone is just unique.

hmmm... I dnt knw what to say here. Have you googled these devices at all? Pls do. Imagine a phone dat wont allow its users share files with other platform user!!! IT SUCKS !!! They should just make iWorld so their fans can go live there.
...
Îmagine a cross-platform app (Whatsapp), free to all xcept apple. Stupid useless arrogant fools. (i know some peeps wld attack and call me poor... dont u peeps think?) Android, being an open source os, has the most number of stunning apps.(pls dnt ask me for examples Google is our friend)
...
An os open for you to p!mp to your own taste,what else could be great. Unlike the imprisoned iUsers. Even RIM still beta small.
....
Get an Android device, root it, you control your own world.

Don't be dramatic. You don't 'control your world' with Android.

Far more developers have iOS as the lead platform for app development...so most apps come to iOS FIRST and sometimes don't show up on Android.

Whatsapp is 0.99 dollars. Less than N160. WTF, why do you people always INSIST on making Android look like a platform of stingy cheapskates? As far as i know, Whatsapp is not free on Android permanently. It's free for a limited time and then you'll have to make a 99 cents payment.

You CAN share some files with other users, just no ALL files and not over Bluetooth. Sucks for some people, some others couldn't care less.

I still can't get over the 'silly arrogant useless fools' line when referring to an app that costs 99 cents. WTF is wrong with you?!

Sir.. Whatsapp is free for the first year of download. Even if its N50. Its FREE for all other platforms, why should dy give a charge for what's suppose to be free. 2. in terms of apps, Not all apps wld be made for all platforms. There are apps that are availabĺe for apple and not for others and vice versa. But talking bout who got the most stunning app? Android! why? cos its an open platform. if you think you can do something for it. FEEL FREE! Should u havnt heard, android got the HIGHEST number of apps. Pls google. twas 40million the last time i checked. And developers havnt stopped.
...

This is why i hate arguing with you imbecilic m0r0ns...you know so little yet make the most noise.

Whatsapp is free only for the first year on Android. After that it's a 99 cent/year payment. On iOS, the one-time payment for the app comes from Whatsapp themselves and has nothing to do with Apple. Whatsapp have even confirmed that they will change this to the same subscription model as on other platforms.

If you were smart, you'd realise it saves you more money when you make a onetime payment of 99 cents and pay nothing else for life than having the first year free and then paying 99 cents per year non-stop.

If you really think Google Play has 40 million apps, you're more dense than I thought. Currently both iOS and Android stores are about even with app count, but Apple IS still the first point of call for app developers. They make more money on the iOS platform.

I can't believe you went on a rant for N150. Smh
