Droid DNA vs Samsung Galaxy SIII vs Iphone5?
I'm due for an upgrade for my phone on Verizon soon and am considering three potential phones: HTC Droid DNA, Samsung Galaxy SIII, and Iphone5. All phones are going for $200 and I want to stick to this price point which is why I'm not considering the Note 2(plus I don't need something that big). I did have an iphone(3g - AT&T) in the past and currently have a droid 2. Obviously there's pros and cons to each OS. I can see myself going either way at this point. Here are some highlights based on the research i've done:
- The obvious: Android - Customize to your liking. Iphone - Lack of customization.
- DNA & SIII, you can surf the net and talk on the phone simultaneously on LTE. Iphone5 you can't unless you are on Wi-Fi. To me, surf & talk is a nice to have feature, but i've lived without it with my current phone. It might come in handy once in a while.
- DNA & SIII have bigger screens. DNA has the best specs and processor(quad core vs dual core) out of all the phones. Specwise DNA>SIII>Iphone. DNA also has the best screen(1080p)
- DNA & iphone 5 does not have expandable storage, where as SIII does. I don't really this as a issue as I don't store music or videos on my phone, so it is not a dealbreaker.
- Battery. Can't replace battery with Iphone or DNA. Can with SIII.
- I do have a Macbook so getting an Iphone, i will be able to sync everything from my computer to phone.
I just want to get some recommendations/feedback on the phones. If you have or had these phones, what are your likes and dislikes, any issues.
I have both the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Iphone 5. There both great phones but I would much rather have the Iphone 5. Considering you had an Iphone 3g and currently own a Droid 2 I would recommend the Iphone 5 because the 5 is much more different from the old 3g. And the S3 will be similar to the Droid in someways, Androids tend to function alike.
A couple of reasons on why I prefer the Iphone 5.
- The Iphone 5 is nearly indestructible. See this video
- The Iphone 5 looks a lot better.
- Iphone 5 is thinner and lighter than the S3 and HTC
- Iphone 5 takes better pictures, especially in low light.
- Ios opens applications faster than S3
- Siri is faster and cooler.
- What is better, the iphone 5, or the droid dna? In terms of battery life, internet speed, easy to use, stuff like that. I currently have the Droid incredible 2 and will be upgrading soon.
- What is a good phone, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S2, or Samsung Galaxy S3? I need a new phone and I'm wondering which I should get. My friend is selling his GS2 for around 50 Bucks and I could possibly get an iPhone 5 or Galaxy S3. Can you tell me the prices with and without the plan. And for people that have these phones could you tell me how good it is and which carrier(Sprint, Verizon, At&T)?
- Samsung Galaxy SIII or the iPhone 5? I'm not sure which one to get. I did check out the Galaxy s3 but thought it was slightly too big. But I haven't seen the iPhone 5. I do have the 4s myself.
- Samsung Galaxy SIII or iPhone 5? - 1 If i give you one of these smartphones for free as gift for nothing, which one will you grab and why?
