Well its all happening this year, The London 2012 olympics the UEFA Euro Cup 2012, The end of the world (apparently) but more importantly the release of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Apple Iphone 5.
Wonder just how good they will be and what new tech they will bring with them. its gonna be an intresting fight for supremacy.

Some more leaked specs have appeared for the Galaxy S3, the eye tracking technology sounds quite interesting & if the previous rumours are true about the Galaxy S3 having a wireless charging system then it would win hands down.

Both Android & Apple have their own set of fanboys, but am looking forward in seeing what Samsung come out with for the S3.

I don't think it's worth debating until something definite is known. The S3 is imminent, but, the iPhone5 is just a figment of imagination at the moment.
Once they are both out in the wild I suspect the S3 will just shave the lead for Samsung once more. As the iPhone will look exactly the same as all the others in operation, boredom may become it's biggest enemy.
I look forward to having the two to chose from....As long as the iPhone doesn't stay hidden as it did last year..

As neither phone has been release its some what difficult to say with any certainty which will be better. If rumours, and past form are to be relied upon, then the S3, followed by the One X and then the iphone5. Too many people discount the One X, its the best phone available today.

I think the wireless charging rumour isnt true. It would add too much to the cost of an already expensive handset. I hope that article is wrong, and its not a minor upgrade. 1GB of RAM does seem low for a flagship handset.

Obviously the S3 will have an improved next generation screen whilst the iPhone 5 will give you a whizzy remote control that you just can't live without.

The Palm Pre had wireless charging via their Touchstone and that phone wasn't very expensive (although you had to buy the Touchstone separately. It's possible. The tech has been around for a while.

I reckon someone should build a little wind-up motor into a mobile so you could add a bit of extra juice in an emergency!

The big problem with things like the touchstone charging is that it added bulk - with manufacturers trying to make the phones as thin as possible, we wont see anything like it.

If the SGS3 does indeed to turn out to be a minor upgrade and nothing to shout home about i will be severely disappointed. All this wait for nothing! If it is true then i'll understand why Samsung will have gone to great lengths to keep the specs under lock and key for as long as possible. Some say it might not even be called the SGS3 but something else entirely.

The only new handset that we really know anything about for sure of the One X. Anything else is speculation.

At least disappointment in the S3 gives you continuity.

Exactly…If you love iOS then you should choose iPhone 5 and if you love Android then you must go with Samsung GS3.

I would have thought more like to release in autumn (September/October)?

May well be. The point I was making to the poster I replied to is that it certainly isnt 'almost a year away' as they stated.

Yeah I would guess September for the iPhone 5.

Probably with the A5x, larger screen and iOS6 would be my guess.

The one size fits all iPhone is bound to be supreme.
It is doing well in Britain unlike Europe where it is becoming quite a minority.

Is it the language barrier for Apple?

Which indicates it will still be behind the S3!! So you are correct, order restored.....

Knowyourmobile.com has one phone not released beating out another phone not released just because they speculate that the Apple phone will be better. They also have an article called something like why the SIII will be a failure. Strange thing is that they are not an iphone centric website.
