iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC 8X / HTC Windows Phone 8X – Let’s Talk Stock Browser Performance
The iPhone 5 has been compared and tested against some of the big players out there on many occasions. Obviously, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been its biggest threat at launch and since both Samsung and Apple have a bit of a past, these two handsets have been fighting for the crown for weeks. We’ve seen camera comparisons, benchmark results and alsobrowsing speeds. But the fact of the matter is that, with the arrival of the Windows Phone 8 and the hardware to support it, Apple might once again have to go head-to-head against its biggest nemesis: Microsoft.
To better understand this claim, today we’re going to talk about browsing speed tests and how well the HTC 8X / HTC Windows Phone 8X performed.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC 8X / HTC Windows Phone 8X
The guys over at Engadget have previously got a hold on an HTC 8X unit and obviously, they’ve performed a few tests in order to determine how well it runs.
Among those benchmarks was the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark and the results are pretty amazing. The HTC 8X manages to come out on top in front of every other smartphone currently available on the market, including the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3.
SupSpider is a benchmark that tests how fast a certain browser executes JavaScript, and since many webpages today are making extensive use of AJAX, the aforementioned benchmark is quite good at determining how fast a smartphone can load-up these particular pages. Nevertheless, the real-world performance might differ and not all webpages are the same, but still.
As you can see above the HTC 8X comes out on top and although not by a mile away, it even beats the iPhone 5 when it comes to handling JavaScript, let alone the Samsung Galaxy S3. HTC’s flagship phone was able to finish the test in less than a second (914 ms) and although the Snapdragon S4 chip powering the device is a pretty good CPU, chances are that this increase in browsing performance results from the new hardware-accelerated JavaScript engine that is to be found in IE10 and implicitly on the new Windows Phone 8 mobile OS.
With that in mind, the Nokia Lumia 920 should be able to perform pretty good as well and if that’s the case, then the iPhone 5 will lose yet again in front of Nokia’s flagship phone, at least on paper.
We’re as excited as ever to see the HTC Windows Phone 8X in action and we’re eager to see it hitting the market. Any thoughts?
Thanks WMPowerUser for the heads-up regarding the iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC 8X browser benchmark.

If you print at 300 ppi, iPod touch photos can print up to 6″x8″ images and iPhone 5 photos print up to 8″x10″.
In terms of general photography, the site notes that the iPhone 5 photos “are more vibrant, have more contrast, and are a little warmer,” while the iPod touch 5 photos seem “a little flat” when compared to those made with the iPhone 5.

Unlocked iPhone 5 Vs Unlocked Nokia Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy S3
bated breath for the eventual unlocked iPhone 5 release date, others are finding themselves more than happy to side with the considerably less-rare unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3. However, both are destined to be joined over the holiday period by the unlocked Nokia Lumia 920 – the stunning new Windows 8 Smartphone expected to take the market by storm in all its forms.
All three of the above are unquestionably desirable and deliver the most advanced specs and features the industry has seen to date, but which…if any…represents the ‘best’ of the three?
Design-wise, the unlocked iPhone 5 takes the crown without much of a struggle – being comprised of super-slick and lightweight aluminum and measuring in at just 7.6mm in thickness. Some would argue that the unlocked Nokia Lumia 920 is at least a close runner-up, coming in a variety of quite stunning colors and encase in polycarbonate – durable and pretty, but not on the same level as the iPhone 5.
Following in third place in this instance comes the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3, which certainly looks the part but also feels decidedly plasticky and not nearly as solid as the above two. Some have also criticized the S3 for being a little too large to comfortably handle or pocket.
In terms of specs and features however, the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 takes the top-spot. On paper at least, the quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM comfortably shoulder past the A6 dual-core processor and 1GB RAM of the iPhone 5, and the 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1GB RAM of the unlocked Nokia Lumia 920.
All three pack truly impressive 8-megapixel cameras, so we’ll call that one a tie.
So, what can you expect to pay for the three?
Recent reports have suggested that the unlocked Nokia Lumia 920 will hit the market for around $700, which isn’t cheap but also isn’t quite knocking on the door of the $900 for the cheapest iPhone 5 right now. Upper-end unlocked iPhone 5s have been spotted for well over the $1,200 mark.
By contrast, the 16GB version of the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 can now be picked up for a little over $500 through selected retailers – the clear bargain of the three in no uncertain terms.

The same guys behind that clip are now back with a rebuttal video, just as they promised. This time around PhoneBuff gives us 50 reasons why the iOS smartphone is better.
The freshly uploaded video is just under 12 minutes long, and shows users various reasons why the iPhone 5 can be considered better than the Galaxy S3. Just like in the previous video, not all the listed reasons depict must-have features of today’s high-end smartphone, but they may be appreciated by users nonetheless.
However, if you are going to buy a top device this holiday season, we’ll remind you that the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3 are the current flagship devices for iOS and Android, respectively. While they are exponents of two different mobile platforms and ecosystems, it’s ultimately up to you to choose which one to get, although we’ll point out that they aren’t the only available choices out there, especially considering the recent Galaxy Note 2 launch or the Nexus 4 announcement. Not to mention that a slew of Windows Phone 8 handsets are about to hit stores also.
In case you’re only looking for more iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3 coverage before you make your purchase then we’ve got you covered. From drop tests and hands-on videos to benchmarking results, battery performance comparisons and display quality tests.
