Its a tough game to tell who will turn out a winner when comparing Samsung S3 and iPhone 4S. Apple launched the flagship mobile iPhone 4S in 4th October last year contrary to prediction of many excluding me. I was very much sure of 4s to be launched that time. Siri, a personal voice assistant was very much popular that came along with the device and new OS upgrade but also criticized for being non responsive. Samsung released their latest flagship Samsung S3 or S III also termed as the 'new galaxy', last week, having powerful specification making it bold to compete with apple latest iPhone. Lets compare the phones in specification wise.

This is the same size and styling from its predecessor models but users like it very much. Samsung Galaxy S III comes with 4.8 inches HD Super AMOLED display with 720p HD resolution. So this is quite bigger in size and just 1 inches bigger than Galaxy Nexus smartphone. We know that Super AMOLED is the best display screen size manufactured by Samsung itself. We feel that Super AMOLED display gives out better resolution but iPhone 4S is also known for its featured rich specifications.

Apple iPhone 4S is powered with dual core 1 Ghz Cortex A9 processor with Apple A5 chipset along with PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU for graphical support. Samsung Galaxy S III comes with 1.4 GHz quad core Exynos processor, officially become the first device with Exynos quad core processor and second only device launched with quad core after HTC One X.
The quad core of Galaxy S III is quite faster than the iPhone 4S but it wins in the comparison of the graphical acceleration.

Remaining features like touch focus, geo-tagging, face detection, HDR, 1080p videos @ 30fps, LED video light, video stabilization, geo-tagging are common in both the handsets.
Samsung Galaxy S III comes with 8 mega pixel camera on the rear side and includes 1.9 mega pixel camera on the front side which can be used for video chat and video calls. This comes with various additions like continuous burst shoot and lot more features.

On the other hand Samsung Galaxy S III will come out with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich which will be the first phone by Samsung coming out officially with ICS. So in the operating system comparison, it’s the fight between the iOS and Android.
We know that Android is flying high and Samsung doesn’t look like to leave their Galaxy Series handset. The good thing is that Android is an open source operating system widely adopted and surpassed its counterpart recently. So it’s more dependent on the preferences of the users whether they want to go with open source of stick with quality product of Apple.
Samsung Galaxy S III comes with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich pre installed on the phone itself and users would be happy to see over a new look on Galaxy phone.

Conclusion
The iPhone 4S is very stable, reliable and quality device from Apple. Samsung Galaxy S III is the best phone in Android and iPhone 4S is the best phone presently on iOS. Going through the conclusion one would love Apple iPhone 4S for its ascetic design and Galaxy S III for other specifications.
