Pumped with high-performing hardware and creative software features, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is an excellent, top-end phone that's neck and neck with the HTC One X.

The iPhone 5 completely rebuilds the iPhone on a framework of new features and design, addressing its major previous shortcomings. It's absolutely the best iPhone to date, and it easily secures its place in the top tier of the smartphone universe.

Overall, this Android device impresses because of its slim design, good battery life, and fast 4G speeds but especially because of its intelligence.

The iPhone 5 improves upon a great smartphone in every way while offering a shockingly thin and light design.

The bottom line is that while all of Samsung’s software features on the S III aim to impress, and several display great ambition, too many of them suffer from frustratingly poor execution. Thankfully, you can just skip this stuff and enjoy the hardware. Samsung is still offering top-of-the-line performance here, and the Galaxy S III is more capable than many of the other phones on the market, even if it’s a bit clumsy.

Overall, the iPhone 5 feels like the logical next step, an extension of an ecosystem that’s already in full flight. Though it will inevitably happen, I can’t imagine Apple improving the hardware any further. Everything just feels right, from the screen to the performance to the phone’s physical presence. The only real things to complain about are the problems with iOS 6.

With a sublime, but familiar design inside and out, a speedy new processor, fast LTE, and the best apps in the business, the new iPhone is like the old iPhone, just much better.

Does the iPhone 5 live up to expectations? Unless you expected something impossible and miraculous, I think the answer has to be yes. It’s by far the fastest iOS device ever in terms of processor and graphics, and its support for LTE networking makes it the fastest iPhone in terms of cellular data transfer speed too.
