In addition , all the products round near class products from smartphones and tablets market. Such as iphone5 and extragalactic nebula s3. People compare every details of them and try find which one is better.Through Chaffins research people can found that a lot of evidences that believe iphone5 is better. Firstly, iphone5 unveiled at 2012 September, at the first week, iPhone 5 interchange millions. Even galaxy s3 sold 10 millions units during 4 months, iphone5 just cost 7 days got the half number of galaxy s3 sold for four months( Chaffin, 1). Then, he make some just analysis that start with design. The thick of iphone5 is 7. 6mm and galaxy3 is 8. 6 mm. iPhone 5 just makes the body as thin as possible, a full millimeter less(prenominal) than Samsung galaxy 3. ( Chaffin, 3). And apple has also try to make the phone feel a bit less severe in the hand.Even there also had some small issue happened on iphone5, because of a part of outer skin made by aluminum ,the character is more easier be scratched. A lot of substance abuser feels a little angry about this. Next, for screen, obviously galaxy 3s is bigger. but the Apples technology is higher. it makes the screen looks more clear.
