This isn’t just a battle between the S III and the iPhone 5 but is actually the definition of the case between iOS and Android, between Apple and Google. The S III is more flexible, offers option of expandable memory and a more malleable OS. The iPhone 5 however has a more premium feel and has a much friendlier design for those with not so large hands.
