What are Samsung doing with all that power? iPhone 5 - 1/2 the specs as S3 and faster

Only thing I gathered from this thread is Apple guys are really into specs. A lot of these types of threads are being started by people that prefer Apple.

My outlook on it is end results. My 4S is smoother then some Android devices. But at the same time the Android device is doing more (widgets, live wallpapers, certain apps running in the back ground, etc). It's just user preference in the end, smooth scrolling vs more content aka form over function. Now with the latest version of Android it's nearly or as smooth with still having all the function.

Point being, I don't rely on benchmarks, they don't mean crap. I rely on how it works for me.

No one is overclocking for those results Brah. Face it, your iPhone 5 doesn't beat the s3. Shows over...

Who's talking about results? I never said the S3 was worse than the iPhone 5 "brah". All I said was 'overclocking is cheating' to the guy who said 'you can clock the s3 higher'. Nothing more, "brah".

Full multitasking, widgets, smart stay, numerous gestures, application voice commands,... These are just a few of the things constantly running on the S3 that aren't on the iPhone.

This

and Android too

The Geekbench results showed that the Galaxy S3 running the latest version of Android is a lot faster than the iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS (1780 for the S3 vs 1600 for the iPhone). A better optimized OS allows the power of the S3 to really shine. Can't wait to get Jelly Bean next month! It will turn my S3 into quite a beast
