Best Smartphone Comparison: Galaxy S III vs Apple iPhone 5 vs Lumia 920 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 2 vs LG NEXUS 4

In today’s times,more and more people are concerned about smartphones,buying a smartphone is just like going out for shopping with your wife.What I’m trying to tell you is that buying the perfect smartphone has gotten a lot more complex with so many varieties, competitors and ecosystems.Now I will comparing 5 best smartphones currently available in the market – Galaxy S III, Apple iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920, HTC X One,Sony Xperia S and also let you know why you should for the same.


Galaxy S III

Perhaps the better enhancements on the S3 is it’s software. Skinned on Android 4.0 (upgradable to 4.1 Jellybean), Samsung’s TouchWiz UI gets lot of additions and utilitarian features. It’s a list with all the “S’s” like S Beam, S Memo, S Planner, S Voice, Smart Stay, etc. Samsung brings in gesture based controls like the lock screen can now be used to pause music playback by simply placing the palm of your hand over the display.

Samsung has covered it all – a great camera, a stunning display, a blazing fast processor and top of all useful gesture based controls that makes the iphone stand out from the rest of Android devices. There’s also a storage bonus for S3 buyers as Samsung is offering free 50 GB dropbox storage for 2 years. All things considered, the approx 34,000 INR price is justified and is a worthy buy in very sense.

Apple iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is everything everyone had expected the iPhone 4S to be. It’s faster, slimmer, lighter, bigger and better than ever. Apple took the complaints and competition’s offering seriously while building the iPhone 5. All those slim models look even fatter in front of iPhone 5, thanks to a very slim 7.6mm body. The slim body also contributed in trimming down the weight. In comparison to the 4S, it weighs feather light at just 112 grams.

iOS 6 doesn’t really offer something substantial for iPhone 4S users to upgrade but on the other hand, loyal Apple fans can go ahead with the bestes android handy. They’ll appreciate the solid hardware and build quality. It has a excellent camera and display. All things work fine with the iPhone 5. One issue of buying it in India is ‘price’. Lets accept it, it’s over-priced. The highest model costs a hefty 60k. If your bank vault is well filled, go ahead and buy this premium product. Be assured, you’ll have no regrets.

Nokia Lumia 920

A amazing smartphone from Nokia, running the Windows Phone 8operating system, is coming with incredible features and a very innovative design.Nokia Lumia 920 has a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm S4 Krait processor with 1 GB of RAM, gives performance more or less similar to what Android phones like HTC One S, Samsung Galaxy S III and Sony Xperia S are giving.

Are you one of those buyers for whom ecosystems don’t really matter? If yes, then go buy this phone. I say this because the Windows Phone ecosystem is still developing and although it’s emerging out to be a winner with all the Live Tiles and minimalistic design approach, it still needs lot of work to be done.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

The talking point of this phone is of course the stylus aka S Pen. Rest of the software is same as its on S3 with TouchWiz skinned on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The S Pen is now a lot more smarter, leaner and utilitarian than ever. You can use it to navigate your phone entirely. A new functionality called Air View for the S Pen has been added, which shows a dot on the screen exactly below where your stylus is hovering.
