Is the GalaxyS3 better than the iPhone 4/4S/5?

I want the iPhone 4 or 4S for Christmas, I don't really like how the 5 looks. But my mom wants the 5, I was wondering is the Galaxy S3 is better than any of the recent iPhones. I can't decide which one I want, please help. Lol

The GalaxyS3 is a good phone, but the iPhones are better.

I think iPhones are better but the real competition is between the Samsung galaxy note 2 and iPhone 5. Also it depends on what you like. If you like to be able to have widgets and other things then get the galaxy… If you like music and other things get the iPhone

5's hardware is far superior to anything out there today. Iphones are also the safest phones today because all app code goes through itunes and it reviewed before getting there, so you don't need antivirus apps running like you need on other phones. The thin design is good too because it fits in your hand and pocket and isn't like a plate in your pocket.
