Thanks, looks like if mobile gaming is your thing then the iPhone 5 is the way to go if you don't mind the smaller screen, otherwise, the SGS3 seems to beat the iPhone 5 in every area, for me anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
+1

Even though the i5 doesn't have enough resolution to take advantage of that much power,but the S3 has...:)

Anyway,it's faster in gpu performance,worse overall for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
I don,t believe i that test. I ran the same bench here, and everything was running pretty smooth until a warning popped up saying ''vsync enabled''

After that everything became crappy, 11 fps. Every single time i tried the bench. Pretty weird for me. I saw somewhere some complains about wrong results on the test.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
First time I hear of such a thing. GLBenchmark is pretty much the industry standard and one of the most reliable ones out there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
woah that Iphone5 gpu seems dammm powerful if thats correct benchmark result one thing i dont get is why there isnt a result yet for much of the iphone 5 I mean if they were going to give it a test why in the hell wouldnt you do all tests. very strange if you ask me

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
ip5 gpu just raped the Mali S3 Daymm, But If the SGS3 was released in September I think it would of beat the Ip5 in that department.. And I really do think the I9305 will help the benchmarks slightly and overall performance but thats about it untill the next SGS4... I really think sammy should reallly become future proof in the next S4 especially if they release it before Ip5

I own a I9300 and soon will get the I9305, I have played with the IP5 - I9300 - I9305 the overall feel and ui performance I LOVE the I9300 and especially the I9305.. Not a single stutter. The GS3 just feels better You cant go from android Jelly bean back to IOS its just going backwards and feels so so so DULLL. I recently was watching a movie on 1080P On my HD LG 40Inch connected to my GS3 OMG its unbeleivable simple thing like that made my day lol seriously im happy with the GS3 and will be alittle bit happier with the I9305.. for a while .. I am in no hurry to get another phone after this next one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
Blah still would rather use Android! :D

Impressive performance indeed. But the OS lets it down severely. It's like having a 800HP motor in Chinese made Cherry. Rather drive a 206 180GT Peugeot. It'll handle those corners unlike the Cherry and the Navigation system works!

So guessing Apple is fragmented now? So many devices to cater for, different screen resolutions etc. They stuffed up maps, so I wonder how screen resolution scaling is working out for the i5?

Seems it might be an iFail for them with the i5 going from reviews. Check out any Apple forum, there is a flood of negative feedback on build quality.. Seems 1/3 phones have visible scratches out of the box. Fingernails scratching paint off the bezel with ease etc.

Gotta feel sorry for there pedantic fans that are focused purely on image. The Apple is rotten, scratched and bruised.

Swyped on I9300 - XXDLIB - Siyah kernel - JKay & Thunderbolt tweaks.

Samsung needs to drop Mali and go PowerVR Their GPU is seriously better in every way
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
Samsung doesn't need to drop Mali. The T-604 in the 5250 will be already be faster than the 543MP3. People tend to forget the Mali-400 and its derivatives are about 3 years old by now. You don't just suddenly change GPU licensee every 6 months because the competition has a temporary performance advantage. Rogue is still far away into next year and we'll also see second generation Vithar architectures from ARM by then.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irzero:
Powervr seems to always be way ahead of the pack on the gpu side.

Look at the new adreno in the S4 only just about matches the iphone 5 in some benches.

The S4 hasn't been out long and look at how badly it compares.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
Well the na s3 has a better GPU too but would not trade my international one for it.

Besides if it has 3 GPUs of the 543 then the PS Vita has 4 of them. Which is cheaper and has better games!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
I honestly didn't think iPoop5 would beat GS3 , let alone r*pe it like it did here.

S3 was advertised as the Beast of an Hardware can't believe IP5 smokes it :( :( :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanseerj:
Who gives a **** even if the SGS3 was twice as fast if the entire experience was not upto scruff,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
you should be happy to see the older architecture of mali (400mp) still gives a run for money with the new comers in the competition like adreno 320. next gen mali (t604,t658) which will debut soon will give them back the performance crown
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
I heard the Mali is really weak in the triangle part of the benchmark, and it is obvious seeing the results. I do hope the new mali T604 isnt.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
I still don't get why no one uses the a15 architecture in the cpu. Anyway, graphics are always going to be faster on newer chips, that's just how it goes. It is suprising that the other benchmarks aren't beating the S4/Exinos/Tegra. I bet the new Mali, tegra 4, next adrenos are going to be harder to beat.

The thing is that now people who have android flagships have no reason to move to ios and people who want a new super flagship phone should probably just wait till Christmas and get something that beats them all! I really don't see the point of spending all that money on something as locked down and limited as the iphone knowing that it already isn't the king in it's sector. The rest should just buy something like the razr m, al lot cheaper and gives you everthing you' d ever need(the fact that it's not going to be sold in europe really p""""s me off)!

The new lumia on the other hand really sounds nice(hope I don't need to defragment the disk every week with windows phone!).

And still while I right this iphone sales are probably hitting 5 million... people are stupid...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Mali 400 is weak in vertex processing because it has fixed units to do vertex processing (1 unit afaik, the rest for pixel processing) :. But that's not the case with new 6 series gpu, all of them are dynamic cores which can share the workload.

《swagged from aokp》
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefankorun:
The iPhone was released 5 months after the s3, it is a shame in this development rate whichever flagship device is in question to be weaker than the one before. It is a bit obvious that Samsung didn't made the S3 as future-proof as it could be at the time but it is a business policy that they follow so they keep selling their devices. The i9305 is a clear example.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranb_001:
Its fast because apple engineers optimise ios for there hardware whereas its fragmented on android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefankorun:
No if we are not talking from the fanboy's perspective it is indeed faster all optimizations aside.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickokim:
Yes, and this makes you wonder, why the **** is samsung still using the mali 400?? Also on the note 2 and 10, they already have a better gpu. I wouldn't mind a full hd tablet from samsung!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
Yes Apple sprinkles fairy magic onto their GPUs so that their transistors enter into time-dilatation to be able to do more work done as opposed to competitors who are outside of the Reality Distortion Field. First of all, no the operating system doesn't have anything to do with this as we're using the same API as on Android, that being OpenGL ES. The operating system overhead is nothing compared to what's being computed here to even render a simple 3D cube.

Apple's (Actually Imagination Technologies makes these GPUs) graphics are just bigger, wider, than any of the competitors. There is nothing more to it.

No it doesn't make you wonder if you consider that integration of a GPU into a SoC takes 2 years before tape-out and manufacturing start. The Galaxy S2 enjoyed full obliteration of its counterparts for the full length of its lifetime with the Mali-400. The S3 still obliterates most of the competition except where it holds its ground against the biggest implementations of ImgTech's 5 series (iPad3, iPhone5) , and next generation competition (S4 Pro which is not yet available).

If Kishonti wouldn't have released GLBenchmark 2.5 with major triangle throughput, where the Mali 400 really chokes, it would be still still be competitively near the top. I dare you name me a game which does not run fluidly.

I know there is a couple threads out there asking what prl's are best for your area but I figured putting it all in one thread, kind of like I had for radios in the Epic 4g section.

But even still, I hate to give them that, because other than the fact that they are an American company, I hate pretty much everything else they stand for. It amazes me that they put out a phone like this and Apple fans rush out and stand in long lines like it's the latest Xbox before Christmas, when honestly it doesn't even compare to the gs2 let alone the gs3. These ppl pay so much money for so little... it's amazing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Gotta agree with you there. Wish the GS3 had a better design like the iPhone 5, but we still have the better OS. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBustCh3rries:
Whatevs!!!! I love the design of the GS3 people complain about the plastic feel or build quality but I keep in mind that these things keep it from being as heavy as an HTC phone and to me the build quality is fine. I've never had any sort of issue with parts missing or being warped or anything cracking besides a screen here or there. I've had all 3 variants of the Galaxy phone and both Nexus models that Samsung built and I just LOVE the sammy product. I could even be called a fan boy. I had the LTEVO and had to get the GS3 because Samsung phones just feel better in the hand. The GS3 is at leeast 2 years ahead of the Jesus phone and I think some of the sheeple are starting to catch on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
While the iPhone is kinda 'pretty' I hate the square, metal design because it's not very comfortable to hold, especially while on a phone call. A case helps but I don't like cases. I think the GS3 shines in this category, sure its plastic, big, etc but it feels very natural in my hand and is comfortable to hold while making phone calls.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bendirkss:
Bingo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Yep screw metal. It dents deforms cost more...isn't flexible. ..in all reality the plastic frame makes this phone a survivor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] epic4GEE:
I'm still not wild on the design....if I hear many more comments like yours we may have a non-removable battery next time and no sdcard.....sad day this will be :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
Althought they did mention some features on both phones they didnt mention all of the main flagship features, for starters that fingerprint scanner which supposedly apple has advertized to unlock ure phone, and samsungs which they did mention on here, overall it was more on software basis then hardware basis which overall does make a big difference., in overall it did come to par and came ahead of apples overrated IOS software so thats a win, however on par with hardware specs and performance, id have to give it to apples new A6 1.2GhZ Dual-Core processor which sadly but yes it does beat the Snapdragon S4 1.5GhZ Dual-Core Processor despite both being Armv7i. In terms of memory and capacity apple did loose in storage and memory performance which does come into play and does make a big difference. In overall apples A6 Arm7 is better then Samsungs Snapdragon S4 by 6% but its the little things that count the most that make a phone supper smooth and operate alot more efficient which ill give to the S3 for having the ability to multi task without lag thanks to its 2gig of ram, thank you Jesus. Thats why i always preffered Android over IOS and Samsungs products.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mart1an:
You are right about people catching on to the S3 being a better phone. I just got my S3 2 days ago (switching over from a iPhone 4S) because I need LTE since 3G sucks in my house and I liked the bonus features. The iPhone 5 is less than a week old and behind times compared to the S3 and maybe even the S2! I love this phone and glad I switched. The minimalistic upgrades Apple did to the new phone and iOS 6 were the end of the line for me. I can never part with my iPad though because that together with my MacBook Pro make school work/reading so much easier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] radrian92:
I own both the gs2 n gs3 and I gotta say that even the gs2 is better than the iPhone 5 :D. That phone has nothing my gs2 can't do. Yea camera is better and better processor but I'm reality people don't notice that in real life day to day usage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
I had some iphone 5s i got a deal on that i was selling....i had a guy trade me an evo lte and $400 cash for one. I felt bad for him. I showed em my s3 before i opened the iphine box and was like man you could catch one of these for $400 on craigslist and gt 3....350 for your evo. He said no i need the new iphone i cant stand android. At that point i got out the lube and took the evo and the cash lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrg02d:
These people really are strange. I have an ipad3 so I frequent the mac rumors Site and see what crazy really is. I have seen the ip5 in person and while it isn't awful, it's really antiquated in looks and function. IOS6 sucks overall. Apple is taking huge risks...

Been there, done that.

This is one aspect of a device that people sometimes don't consider until they've dropped their fancy metallic jewel and put a big, obvious scratch, or worse- a big, obvious dent, in the side or bezel of their beloved. Problem is, the results are permanent; short of replacement.

I've been on both sides & I'll take plastic over metal any day.

To those of you using JB on the MT4G: how is it? Stable? Good enough to be a daily driver? Everything important working for you?

I'd love to flash JB on my MT4G but I'm not sure if it's stable enough yet and the ROM threads are long and winding enough that I have trouble following them. I have a phone with the dodgy eMMC chip so I'd rather not spend all day flashing ROMs to try them out myself and possibly killing my phone in the process. I'd love to find a JB ROM that has all major features working and is close to stock JB (I don't like too much bling in my ROMs).

Thanks!

I also do have the bad eMMC chip but I've been flashing almost every week to see which one is the best for me.

I've tried many of them, but I personally like Toasted Marshmallow from ...Awesome... It is a very stable ROM. A couple of items that don't work are Front Facing Camera (FFC) and Wifi Calling, but those are not an issue with the ROM, they are more akin to not having an official JB kernel for the MT4G. I'm anxious for Wifi Calling to get released on another JB ROM so we can port it. Good luck with whichever ROM you decide on.

No. Once 3.0 is fixed to work as well on our devices and all the jb optimizations are added in, THEN jb will surely be better than ics.
