CNET:Still, the iPhone 5 absolutely shines. Pick your benchmark and you'll find Apple's thin new weapon sitting at or near the top.
Android site:Final verdict:
If we had to recommend just one handset of the three right now, based on these specs and experience we would (narrowly) choose the iPhone 5 as an all-around phone.
Yes, the S3 has a higher clock speed on its' processor, but the phone measures lower in GeekBench. For what that is worth.Jmustang1968 wrote:Galaxy S3 has bigger screen, better battery life, and a more powerful processor.
Apple is able to optimize some programs better.

As far as battery life. How good is it on the S3? That is a phone I am considering. But one thing keeping me away is that big screen. My hands aren't that big for a guy. Even typing with 1 hand on my Rezound (only 4.3" screen) can be pretty annoying. But it's relatively easy to type with one hand on an iPhone in my experience.
I can usually go a day or two with even a 2 year old iPhone 4 without charging, and I don't want a hulking screen in my pocket and am glad that Apple didn't expand it too much with the new phone (and I agree that vertical expansion>horizontal expansion). I just don't see a CURRENT andriod with specs that I care about besting an iPhone 5. As far as customization/proprietary control - all iPhones have been jailbreakable if I were so interested, so I don't see that as an issue really. Besides, I had iPaqs and earlier devices for years (long before they were in phones) and I've had my fill of regediting mobile devices and forcing emulation, overclocking, etc. of various things.Jmustang1968 wrote:I am a big guy so its not bad.

Battery life I amazing. It will go all day without charging. My S1 before made It to lunch time...
Screen is great, maybe too big for some. It is almost the size of the small e-readers
