The Samsung Galaxy S3 Will Prove A Tough Competitor To The iPhone 5

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the most impressive smartphones currently on the market, and looks like it will be one of the major rivals to the upcoming Apple iPhone 5. In this article I will look at some of the key features of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and how the iPhone 5 is likely to measure up.

Screen

Without doubt, the touchscreen is one of the most impressive things about the Samsung Galaxy S3. It measures 4.8 inches and has a resolution of 720x 1280 and utilises Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen technology. This provides outstanding display quality n conjunction with its large size meaning it ticks all the boxes. The screen of the iPhone 5 is going to be the first iPhone screen to be bigger than 3.5 inches. It has been confirmed that it will have a 4 inch screen which has already entered production. This screen is likely to have the same retina display technology as the iPhone 4S, which is renowned for its outstanding display quality which is among the highest of any smartphone.

Processor

With a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is among the most powerful smartphones on the market in terms of processing power. This is an area where Apple will surely be keen to compete. The iPhone 4S has a 1GHz dual-core processor which made it one of the most powerful smartphones available at the time of its release and still provides the handset with excellent display quality. In order to compete, the iPhone 5 is likely to include either a quad-core processor or a more powerful dual-core processor, with some sources suggesting it will be the latter, with a clock speed of 1.5GHz. Either way, it is sure to provide the top performance that we have now come to expect from new iPhone models.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has an 8 megapixel camera which ticks all the boxes thanks to an array of image enhancing features and innovative capture modes, along with LED flash and full HD video capture. The iPhone 4S has an 8 megapixel camera also, and it widely regarded as one of the best camera phones on the market despite having been available for almost a year. Therefore, it would be no surprise if this camera, or one very similar, was used on the iPhone 5. However, a 12 megapixel camera has been rumoured as a possibility, and if this is the case it would put the iPhone 5 at the top of the market in terms of its camera feature.

There is now not ling to wait until we find out the specifications of the iPhone 5, as it has been that the device will be unveiled on the 12th of September.
