Mobile devices are essential to so many people nowadays, for taking photos, using apps and some people even make phone calls on them. This is a comparison between iphones and android devices.
Good Looks
First up in the iOS v Android battle is the general look and feel of the systems. In terms of appearance, there is a significant difference between the two, Apple has icons for apps and basic functions in grid form, while Android has a limitless customisable face with widgets taking up as much room as you choose, alongside the operating system's basic functions. This, for example, allows you to see your inbox on the main screen, something not available on iOS. However, if you prefer a simple grid lay out on each screen; iOS is king here, though both systems allow you to drop apps into folders for clearer navigation.
Structure
Again, Apple leans towards uniformity, much more of a linear and literal experience than that of the Android operating system, which varies from handset to handset. This can lead to some finding it difficult to navigate, which is why Samsung offer an easy screen mode, giving users the standard layout of generic widgets for things such as weather or news.Meanwhile, the" Direct Call" option also allows you to phone a contact by lifting the handset to your ear after viewing their details.
The Battle of Apps
There is something of a role reversal here; Android has built in apps like YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps and the canny Google Now. Apple's iOS allows software developers to add their own features, to varying degrees of success.
The Tactile Test
A casual conclusion when looking at differences in materials would be to say the iPhone is the superior product, being made from aluminium and glass, while the S3 is mostly plastic, but that would be simplistic. The S3's biggest selling point is its 4.8" screen, giving it the edge over the iPhone's rectangular view. Both are however, beautifully designed.
The Battle of Weight - Tale of the Tape
It would be tempting to assume The S3's impressive quad core processor makes it superior to the iPhones dual core but in reality, this makes little difference. The same can be said for a comparison of weight. The iPhone is slightly lighter at 116 grams while The S3 is 17 grams heavier, though it would take a very sensitive hand to notice the difference.
The Battle of Battery Life
The iPhone has a slight advantage over The S3 in terms of all important battery life, though I would argue this is hardly noticeable. Thankfully both are now equipped with an extra battery. Though this technology seems to be the weak link in the chain.
The Battle of Recording
This technology has hardly been perfected in either system, though flaws to The S3's "S Voice" are more apparent than Apple's "Siri". One redeeming feature on The S3 is "Smart Stay", a technology that keeps the screen on when detecting the user looking at it. 4G versions are obtainable for both operating systems and both record in HD.
In Conclusion
What it is you are looking for in a handset will depend on which product you prefer. Whether you are looking for the simple and organised set up of The iPhone's iOS, or the more creative experience of The S3 and Android. Both certainly have their advantages and disadvantages.
