iphone5 users, how’s the picture quality? I’m in a dilemma deciding between iPhone or galaxyS3. I think iPhone will be user friendly for me since I have been using iPad, however Samsung big screen is really good for my Lao Hua. Any galaxy users care to comment too? Thanks for your sharing.

Me too. I am currently using the 4S and quite tempted to change to Samsung SIII due to the big screen. Iphone users especially, pls advise any regret to switch to Samsung ?

this is what I gathered from various forums

1. need to repurchase all the apps
2. battery life not as good as iphone
3. no airplay

i bought the iphone5 with my contract renew but sold to the hp shop as it fetches high price. however my dad, yes my DAD, was so fascinated by it and went ahead to renew his contract to take a 16gb.. i hate the fact that the chargers cannot be shared now as i dun hv spare one when i return to my niang jia.. 2 brand new hp casing which i bought for my dad cannot be used anymore.. yes, this is the way to earn money cos consumers will HAVE TO buy new models of charger... its by force isnt it?

to add, there used to be more iphone users than any other smartphones in my office, but now there are only a few left, most have converted to S3 or Note

Same in my office…


According to some of my colleagues, they switched brand because they didn’t see much difference between iphone 4 and 4s. So when their contract is up for renewal, they jumped ship to the latest and newest at that time.

But the touch screen and scrolling is not as good/smooth, I have Samsung Note and Galaxy S III, collecting dust now… went back to iPhone.


Even DS thinks it’s sluggish when playing certain fast moving games.

(I also feel weird having to hold and talk to a phone sized as big as a slice of bread, LOL!)

My own conclusion is that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the way to go. I have been using an iPhone and a Samsung Note for the longest time, and I find I use my Note a lot more when I browse or work. The iphone screen appears too small once we get used to the Note’s size.


I think Apple’s snub of NFC and its attempt to create its own "wallet" may be biting off more than it can chew. Will probably give iPhone 5 a miss and wait for 5s instead.

There is always the option of wireless BT earpiece/mic.
