Which is best IPad 3 or Samsung Galaxy 3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Both IPad 3 and Samsung Galaxy 3 newly released device and both are very good in terms of design, hardware and software etc. i am just confused to choose between IPad 3 and Samsung Galaxy 3. so can anyone suggest me which is best IPad 3 or Samsung Galaxy 3. so what you all think on this both device comment here...thanks in advance

Both Ipad 3 and Galaxy S III are to completely different gadgets.
Ipad 3 is a 10 inch tablet whereas Galaxy S III is a 4.8 inch smartphone...
Ipad 3 is not a phone in which you can insert a SIM and make calls...but a Galaxy S III is!!

I say you better buy both of them as both are almost different kind of product.

Go with a phablet (Galaxy Note, LG Optimus Vu) if you really can't decide between them

I have an iPad3 and a Galaxy SII. I use the iPad at home, and the Galaxy SII at work and outside. They are different devices but both very usefull and amazing. You need to see your needs and choose.
In my case, I would choose the Galaxy SIII.

as per your thread title galaxy 3 dosent stand a chance to any new mobiles out there

You could also ask, which is better a Ferrari or a truck. Depends on what you want to do.
In general I would not buy a device from a company that puts any restrictions on how I can use my device, what software can I put on and so forth. It should be illegal for companys to do things like phone x can only be used on network a, the gaming console can only run games not linux, you can only use their over-prized accessories.

Specwise, the gpu from the SGS3 isn't as fast as the sgx543mp4+ but it indeed can almost keep up with an IPAD3 looking at those benchmarks

why would you ask such a question?

ipad 3 you should get it is amazing

if you are talking about tablet , get a nexus 7

I had both. I think that iOS is better for tablets and android for phones! But if you are on a budget definatly get the nexus 7!

The adreno 225 is actually as fast and the krait cores crush the a9 cores in the iPad. Sprinkle on twice the ram and you have a much much better device.

Yeah but iOS is a lighter OS, the iPad 2 runs fine with 512mb. I know this is the reason it doesnt have siri but the point is it runs well, plus it really doesnt make a difference to the end user anyway as iOS manages it well with the multitaking api's

New 5.8in Galaxy Player revealed

I'm too amazed to talk... Sporting a 5.8in screen, 1GB RAM, 1GHz dual core processor. Here:
http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-player-5-8-photo-and-specs-leak-20243322/
old news, many sources say it is wrong info, that in fact the screen is 4.8". Hopefully we will find out at IFA
I'll not trade my SGS wifi 5.0 for this one..although this one has awesome specs..

i share your sentiment i will not part with my SGS 5.0, but i will buy the new one once it's available
Man, I want a giant 5.8in screen... I guess we will have to wait for August 29th when they might announce it.
If it is 4.8in, it will be exactly like a Galaxy SIII with different internal specs (and screen resolution)! Anyways, I'm looking forward to it either way.

i kinda wouldn't mind it to, but on the other hand it would make it too big to be pocketable and too close to 7" tablets in size
Don't you guys think the screen is too big? Even though it looks hot

Its got a nice 1GB of RAM but it runs at the same resolution as the wifi 5.0 so it'll look pretty bad considering the screens bigger.

its not same resolution ..its 960*540 and 5.0 has 800*480 which makes that they have totaly the same dpi.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
I believe the dpi for GP5 is 186ppi and GP5.8 is 189ppi
I'm surprised a 5.8" PMP is anticipated by so many. The 5.0 model was already borderlining on being too large in my opinion, and a supposed 4.8" would have still been a tough decision. It's disappointing that there isn't a smaller model to accompany it as with the 4.0 and 3.6, so I guess I'll be jumping for the 4.2.
I'm just going to be bragging to my friends that I have the biggest handheld device haha
Many issues with this new 5.8"
1. Resolution is abysmal for a 5.8", needs to be at least 720P
2. Price. This thing will be way more than 199.99 and will probably only get 1 update and then become EOL
3. CPU. Is it the Snapdragon S4, Dual Exynos, or Snapdragon S3?
4. The size will most likely push many away
1. Dude, the ppi is better than the 5.0 so it isn't "abysmal"
2. I agree
3. Who cares about the CPU if it has 1GB RAM (and it better have 1GB RAM)? I'm sure it will be at least a dual core, that's enough for my tasks at least
4. Get the smaller models
What matters more than the CPU or ram is the gpu. If it has the same powerVR chip in the previous gen players, forget it. And I am thinking Samsung really should have stuck with the 5" sweet spot they found with the note; this is really and truly just to much. One inch larger than the biggest handhelds, one inch smaller than the smallest tablets = What the heck is this supposed to be?

What you guys moving from?
Me I'm moving from gflex2. Lovely phone so comfortable, but it often lags terribly and takes 10 seconds just to share. I have serious performance issues with it,but it's very very comfortable phone.
Between buying the gflex2 and now, I bought Samsung s6 edge and note 5 but sold them almost immediately. They are delicate fragile phones prone to damage (I like naked no cases thanks). Worst of all I hate the physical home button and the back arrow on the wrong place. And the retarded UI. Also so uncomfortable to hold.
Changing from a nexus 5(2013) stock rooted with xposed. Great phone which served me well! But its battery is weak after 2 years. Was deciding between a 5x but opted for a 6p instead because of its better specs.
I'm coming from Nexus 5! I am an Indonesian btw, but studying at NTU for 4 years.That's how I got my Nexus 5 two years ago.
I'm in love with Nexus devices!

Coming from the iPhone 6. iOS is getting too boring. Miss the daily flash of a new, experimental, unstable rom on my trusty G2.
Moving from OnePlus One. Slightly disappointed that Huawei isnt getting the 32GB version
Moving from Nexus 5 JP set to Nexus 6P U.S set. Not waiting for the SG version because I will be travelling early/mid Nov and would want the 6P to tag along for pictures.
The N5 is still running strong after 2 years. No sign of wearing down etc.
Very impressed with Nexus devices.
nexus users are diehard users.
Moving in from the First Nexus 5.

True that. But I am not using the 64GB of my OPO either. Still have 40+GB free. So 32 suita my needs.
I'm not that a big user of storage too. Using a n6 now with 2 roms.
No games and a few mp3 songs.
I still got 15gb free.
Whatever it is, maybe 64gb resale value is higher?
But then I don't sell my nexus.
Wish to get one. Roughly how much is it?
US pricing is well publicized, and since this is an official import to Singapore this time, pricing should not be far off.
It's not even submitted to ida yet. It'll be a long wait I guess

[Poll] Will you buy the Note 7 when it goes on sale

Who and another did not preorder a Galaxy Note 7 ? Do you still consider buying Samsung’s latest phablet ? Samsung Galaxy S8 is nearly half a year away accrording to this report
Would you wait for the Galaxy S8 or S8 edge, or would you buy a non-Samsung smartphone this year instead?
I was all set to buy a Note 7 on release day in the UK. I didn't pre-order as my contract wasn't due for renewal until the day after release. Obviously it's now looking like late October/early November before they will be widely available.
At the moment I'm waiting to see what Google bring to the table with the Pixel XL before deciding. They launch that on 4th October.
S8 Edge is an option but despite the crazy rumours I suspect it will be little different to the S7.
Answer is yes; question is when.
Samsung Galaxy S8 display rumored to carry 4K resolution and support for VR.
yes if price reduced
surely i will buy it but price should be reduced to at least 30-40 %
yes, I want another one!
Do you guys know that Samsung Galaxy retains No.1 spot in brand value despite recall, a local brand research company said Monday.

Here are the 5 reasons to buy note 7
It's the prettiest phone Samsung has ever made
It's one of the best smartphone cameras
It's the most stylus-friendly Android device
It has more bells and whistles than other flagships
It's better than the Galaxy S7
Yep... ive already gotten mine. Works great and have not had any issues whatsoever!
I actually managed to get mine last week wed. I am not sure why I was allowed to have it But I love it.

Agreed.
If it had a flat screen and front firing stereo speakers it would be perfect

The Galaxy Note 7... Like a phoenix, will rise from its ashes of despair
And soar!
Who's with me on Project Phoenix? A fitting name for Samsung to deliver our next incarnation of the Galaxy Note series.

Anybody? Well I just thought we hear a lot of people slating Samsung and the Note 7 for the whole battery fire fiasco.
Can they not rise from that to produce something stronger, more exciting and more determined?

Nah, they missed their chance with the failure of 'Project: Release a revised Note 7 without the same issue'.
Sorry but on that one Samsung fu*ked up badly. The second recall was a joke and Samsung basically killed the "Note" series with that mistake.
If they ever release a new "Note" phone, with a S-Pen, it won't be called a "Note". The brand "Note" is damaged beyond repair...

I understand that they did screw up. I agree. But I guess the point of this post is to see what Samsung can learn from all this. I am hoping that they can raise the bar and produce another excellent S-Pen based phone that we love as much as the Note 7 and be given another chance to do it.
I think the Name will change but we can all still appreciate that underneath the new name it's another Note.
I hope so. The Note series was THE flagship smartphone by a clear mile.

Tab S3 vs S2. ( Development (ROM's) , Price and Life cycle)

Hi everyone I’m currently debating picking this device up. It seems this device so far has a lot less activity than the Galaxy S2. I’m curious if this is because of the price. I see the tab S2 can be had for about $300 these days and it has a lot of custom development. The Tab S3 on the other hand seems to be a newer device and we have TWRP and some ROM’s but I would hope when Samsung drops support for this device that lineageos or some other AOSP ROM’s would be out for this device. What are you guys opinions on getting the Tab S3 over the Tab S2. Do you thing development will pick up for the S3 in the future? I was really hesitant at first due to the Tab S3’s battery draining Wi-Fi bug but it seems Samsung may have remedied that in recent releases. And I really do like the S pen and that is one of my major motivators to get the S3 over the S2. I see Costco has a sale for the S3 for $470.00 (Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Wi-Fi Tablet - 32GB - Quad Core - Black - with $20 Google Play Credit)

Wifi bug is still very much present but at this point unless Google surprises us with a new Pixel tablet (which does not have it's own share of wifi bugs like the first one lol), there is no other option for a decent spec Android tab.Sucks.
All we really need is the Note 8 hardware on a larger screen, which samsung will release as the Tab S4 with a 10.5" screen next year (I wonder why ? ) , hopefully without any anymore bugs.

Yes I would wait but it seems that tablets have a longer lifecycle than 1 year and Samsung is more on a 1.5 year schedule.
If you want an android tablet now the tab s3 is the best in my opinion. Best and brightest screen, processor( for a tablet anyways) and comes with a spen. The wifi bug isn't that bad the tablet still gets great battery life. I set turn off wifi when screen is off in settings also. Try it for a while..if you don't like it return it.
