Its unusable in the sunshine.
Its like carrying a Plazma tv about
Uses most of its 1.4ghz processor in standby
Play store (Android market place) has limited apps in comparison to the App store
Cant store apps on the memory card.. (16gb soon goes)
It seriously takes nearly 2 hours for a full charge.
That full charge last less than a hour when in use
Email client is terrible
Wifi is very intermittent. (Turns itself off when it thinks you are not using it!)
I found the signal was a lot worse than it is on the iphone..
Cheap plasticy feel to it ..

I could go on all night.. Seriously Just get a iPhone.

anything i highlighted in red isnt true.

Try a quick google search and you will find the things in red are very true mate..

The auto adjustment for brightness in the sun Is comical, it makes it worse than it already is!

The 1.4ghz is overrated, phone isn't nowhere near as quick as it should be.

How can you even say the android market place is anything in comparison to the app store??

The wifi has a setting called power saving mode.. Which is auto on.. There's a stupid code you have to type in to turn it off, yes I know this because it decided to turn itself of whilst downloading a 500mb app and abuse my data limit.

I work in the mobile industry and 80%+ of my colleagues have iPhones.. The rest blackberrys.

Plus the iPhone 4 was released in 2010 and gs2 in 2011 and the iPhone is still worth more!

By all means the iPhone is far from Perfect.. No flash player, restricted untill jail broken, every app in the app store has to go through screening, fragile screens, But if you get a problem, hello mr genius, new phone within the hour! Forget sending it off to Samsung for a fortnight. I've had 4 iPhones and never had a single problem with any of them.(apart from losing/damagin them)

Iphone is very plug and play. Its simple and you get what you get. The samsungs are a little less simple to use but delve into sub menus and stuff and you get much more. Most importantly for me is the screen is NOT made from glass. Im constantly laying on mine and wiping oil off it, it even once fell out of my car window at about 40mph and has never broken, the screen isnt even that scratched.. Iphones would have smashed 10x over.

at the end of the day, get which one you like. everyone on here with an s2 or s3 will say samsung and everyone with an iphone will say go apple.
try both and see which YOU like. I did and i prefer the samsung.
also, remember the iphone costs apple $18 each to make, whereas the samsungs cost £50.

yeah its cause the s2 has gorilla glass

You missed the point.. The original iPhone 4 is worth more than a galaxy s2 is, even tho they are a year older.. This proving iPhones hold their value better, the 4s is still worth more than a galaxy s3 is and the s3 is pretty much a brand new release.

They depreciate like saxos. Where as a iPhone is more like a golf

Little tip.. Button that says "multiquote" next to reply.. Use it rather than post 3 times in a row..

iVTR · 24th August 2012, 10:02

Haha.

Right, after going to the shop I didn't like the S3, as others have said, felt pretty cheap TBH

Was far too big too, would look like I'm walking around donning a semi everywhere, can't be having that.

Will go for the iPhone 4s, just going to wait it out for the '5' to be announced.

the reason why iphone hold more value is well how many phones do android's have? alot! and you are just paying for a name at the end of the day

martin1985 · 24th August 2012, 10:57

also the processing power of the s2 kills the iphone 4s, the s3 has a quad core, the iphone 4s has a dual core 800mhz core. at the end of the day its personal preference

Dany4494 · 26th August 2012, 23:41

Just gone from a 4s to a Samsung galaxy nexus, was going to go for the s3 but as others said it felt cheap and tacky and this nexus is running androids new software 4.1.1 jellybean and its actually quicker than the s3 not quite as big the screen is higher quality, battery life is mint charged yesterday morning and its on 62% and been playing games texting et. and i would never go back to apple now its just over rated but as everyone said personal opinion, take a look at it mate its good.

Isn't the nexus even bigger than the s3?

Or am I thinking of something else?

Dany4494 · 27th August 2012, 00:04

Nope its deffo smaller because it was a toss up and i just prefer the nexus as it was a little smaller and felt nicer more solid not like its going to snap.
