Question, though: why do so many international models feature quad-core processors, while the U.S. models use dual_core?
Supposedly LTE was the reason
Actually, if I crushed my iPhone with AppleCare insurance I would pay $50 and $0 with best buy. I was talking about insurance not warranty. Your second comment makes it clear that you just want to argue for the sake of arguing so I won't respond to that. Lol
Yep, but now they're loading up the Tegra 3 quad chip in the One X+ for everybody.
Bout time too, I've always been envious of the int'l phones.

Of course, that's my option

I know, but it's misleading because you're artificially boosting your score.
Suddenly, new hardware beats iPhone 5 in benchmarks...
"Eh, benchmarks don't matter..."
Suddenly, iPhone 5S wins in benchmarks again...
"Eat it, non-Apple devices! Muahaha."

Arguing against Android problems of yesteryear is the number one straw man technique on this forum. Number 2 is using obscurantisms to inflate the issues that do exist.
Wait, there's more!... While pretending iOS doesn't ever lag or stutter (dream world) or isn't fragmented too.

As an Apple fan, you should be with me in calling out the fanboys. They are detrimental to Apple, and I think you know it.
Besides, why are you in this section of the forums if you don't want to read this sort of stuff? You also have the option of blocking me if you want to turn a blind eye.
Artificial? HA HA only an iphone apologist would say that.
I guess I'm misleading my phone into actually thinking it would gain added performance when overclocked and set to performance governor.
.......but, you've never had that option with the iPhone so I guess you can't understand.
I'm with you, but hearing the same rehashed cry is really tiresome.
----------
I think we can both agree that overclocking is artificial. It's not the clock speed intended for the device. And can you admit it's impressive for a 1.3 GHz chip to compete so well with your 1.9 GHz chip? That's a feat in my book. Either Android is fundamentally slower than iOS, or the A6 and iOS are just super-tuned for each other, probably both.
Artificial would imply that I gain no added benefit so no, I wouldn't agree that overclocking is artificial.
I will agree that the A6 chip is impressive though.
I am confused. Your thread title says one thing, but the article you link to says this:
"The Android-based Samsung Galaxy S III delivers comparable performance in all areas except 3D games. Having said that, it beats the iPhone 5 in PassMark's PerformanceTest Mobile 2D Graphics test by some distance"
Meaning that unless you're in the business of splitting hairs, the phones are roughly on par with one another in terms of what the results of their tests mean.
Ignoring the open aspect, the S3/Android does a whole lot of things out of the box that the iPhone 5/iOS 6 does not do.... all while still offering "comperable performance".
How is this a win for the iPhone 5?
You don't pay $50, you paid $150.
Bestbuy probably cost you just as much adding it all up.
That's weird as I've got an s3 and I can report none of the issues you've just described. It's as if they are two different phones.
And yes, I have owned iPhones so I can compare the two
Hahaha. There are less then 400 Apple stores on the planet. Many users would literally need to fly to their nearest. I'm an hour away from my closest. I literally need to drive by like 20 Verizon stores to get to my nearest over crowded appointment mandatory Apple store, never mind how helpful "geniuses" are that I need to bully to get service to my expectations.
Btw I'm not saying Verizon is any better btw, I've found the Verizon's employee cluelessness is a pro and con. Regardless I just go to Verizon for my iPhone issues just for convenience (my employer has 15 4S's or so and we had issues with 2 and they just replaced both lol).
I am hardly surprised you can see none of the issues I've described. Most mass consumers wouldn't know any better.
Then again, if you had an iPhone to compare to, even pedestrian eyes can tell the two fold difference in brightness between the screens. Or you're just flat out lying, also unsurprising.
But, but, what about that cool trick where you touch phones to pass a playlist?
The acting there stood out like a sore thumb.
"WHAT DID YOU GUYS JUST DOOOO!!!!!" LOL
Then
"See chu at the chudio" (See you at the studio) was the actual line.
Could the director not do a loud "cut" and try to get these actors to do a shade better. Not expecting A+ acting obviously but good god.
Either way both are good phones. And the AD is actually smart, everyone on the net pretty much hates Apple these days, self included on a lot of their BS going on, so the target audience pays off obviously for them. Buying Samsung is fighting the man, while Samsung is also the man, as google is the man....inception!!!

He's boosting performance. Artificially boosting his score sounds like just photoshopped it lol.
If you want more performance you can root/rom/overclock if you want too. Personally when I did it for my Xoom the only thing I needed it for was using emulators with graphically intense emulators like PlayStation games like Grand Turismo. It really helped a lot....
I'm actually surprised anyone pays attention to benchmark numbers anymore. I've had devices that while it would outbenchmark one device, it wouldn't translate to noticeably outperforming it when it came to using the devices.
You're quite patronizing really aren't you? Well, I do have an iPhone to compare it to, an iPhone 4s that I'm trying to sell because I prefer my s3.
To me, I prefer the s3 screen but I guess that's just because I don't know any better.
However, I do agree that the iPhone has a brighter screen - my wife has her iPhone 4 on full brightness and it burns my eyes to look at it. Of course this is better in bright sunlight but the s3's screen is more than usable in these conditions
Don't pay attention to people like that. I was just reading a review that rated the iPhone 5 screen moderately better then the S3. They used thousands of dollars of high end screen analysis ejuquipment to come to that earth shattering result. The brightness issue MIGHT be a big deal to some but I keep my iPhone 4S set around 25% which is way lower then the S3's max brightness. Now with better screens becoming more popular they are unnecessarily better...lol

OMG the iPhone 5 is SOOOOO pixelated.....
to bad you'll never see that kind of difference unless you get a magnify glass like the above image. 1080p is just stupid on a phone.
