Has the elder phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 got enough vigour left to ward off the Apple iPhone 5 and LG Nexus 4?
When the Samsung Galaxy S3 was released in May 2012 it went straight to the top of the chart, the Apple iPhone 5 was then released, followed by the LG Nexus 4. So has the older Samsung Galaxy S3 got what it takes to remain on top?
The LG Nexus four comes with a 1.5 GHz processor, the Apple iPhone 5 runs on a 1.2 GHz processor, while internationally the Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with a quad core and the dual core s ion the device in the US. The Apple iPhone may be the slowest out of all three design devices, however it does beat its predecessor, with twice the speed. The LG Nexus has quad core and 2 GB of RAM which means that it beats the Samsung Galaxy S3, as the Samsung Galaxy S3 does have the quad core internationally,but this comes with 1 GB of RAM.
The LG Nexus 4 comes with pure Android while Samsung Galaxy S3 has been updated to Jelly Bean. The Apple iPhone 5 has the latest version of our iOS, and this is iOS 6.1. Anyone wanting to customise their device would have to choose between the Android handsets. On the other hand if you want a stable operating system and one that is streamlined then you would have to go with the Apple iPhone 5. The LG Nexus will get updates first and with this in mind it could be a choice between the Apple iPhone 5 or the LG Nexus 4.
You can get the LG Nexus 4 in either 8GB or 16 GB of storage, however it doesn’t support external expansion by way of SD card. The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes in choices of 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB, plus you can add on expansion with SD card. The Apple iPhone 5 has the same internal storage choices, however it lacks support for SD and this makes the Samsung Galaxy S3 stand out as the winner.
The LG Nexus 4 offers around 15 hours talk time, it comes with a battery of 2100 mAh. With the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Apple iPhone you should get around eight hours.
The LG Nexus four has a weight of 129 g and this 133.9 mm x 68.7 mm x 9.1 mm. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has a weight of 122 g and measures 136.6 mm x 70.6 mm x 8.6 mm. Thanks to the Apple iPhone 5 being the thinnest and lightest of all three devices, this comes out on top as the winner.
Anyone wanting a handset with NFC would be able to choose between the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the LG Nexus 4. If you want LTE, choices are the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the Apple iPhone 5. Anyone who wants handsets with LTE and NFC would have to go for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
All of the handsets have a camera of eight megapixels on the back and this supports LED flash, autofocus and video at 1080p. The LG Nexus 4 comes with a front camera of 1.2 megapixels, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 1.9 megapixel, while the Apple iPhone 5 is the winner thanks to it having the best BSI sensor.
Anyone who wants a handset that is easy to use may wish to choose the Apple iPhone 5 and it also has superb looks. If money is tight than the LG Nexus 4 could be the best choice, it does come with great hardware, however it doesn’t have LTE and storage is low. While the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the oldest handset out of them all, it is still an all-round device that comes with plenty of features and hardware, plus a price that is decent, and this makes it the winner.
