To me, it's not iPhone 5 vs GN2. It's just iOS vs Android. No point paying too much attention to the specs as you won't get GN2 with iOS or iPhone 5 with Android.

Besides, you can't say GN2's 1.6Ghz Quad Core is 3.2x faster than iPhone 5's 1.0Ghz Dual Core, because it doesn't work in that way. Same goes to 2GB ram vs 1GB ram; 3100mAh vs 1418 mAh. We have to know that GN2 has 27% higher resolution as compared to iPhone 5, so speaking in a dumb manner, got more things to calculate. So if you wanna compare in respect of specs, please do flex it first. But AFAIK, you can't just flex it like you're doing mathematics. Hey! It's iOS and Android, they can have different way of processing, coding and whatnot.

Notice that there's a topic bout resale value going on. Again, it's unfair to compare the resale value of both directly as they have different starting RRP.

===For Reference Purpose ===

Samsung Galaxy Note N7000
Release Date: Late October 2011 (First)
RRP during launch: RM2299
2nd hand value: RM1200 in average (Just did a rough check in garage sales)
Depreciation per year: RM1099 / 47.80%

iPhone 4S 32GB
Release Date: October 2011 (First, not in Malaysia)
RRP during launch: RM2499
2nd hand value: RM1450 in average
Depreciation per year: RM1049 / 41.98%

Of course there are much more factors that would affect the 2nd hand value, i.e. age of item, condition etc. But based on that 3 y.o. kid calculation I got there, unless RM50 is material for you, else no point talking about resale value.

Moreover, iPhone 5 and GN2, although both are smartphones, have different target audience. Just like MINI Cooper and Camry, both can get you from point A to B, but you just can't say which is better or what, because they are not meant to be for the same target market.

In a nutshell, it's just iOS vs Android. Pick what you like. End of story.

*Not trying to say which is better, just want to say that both are different and you can't compare it.

1450 is 16GB price

That's why. You just check on apple bad feedbacks and give bad comment on it. Try to make a research on Samsung and you will know what's happening. All type of devices have different feedback. How do you look at the phone is based on how your friends and family influence you. If you think apple iOS is not good enough, just switch to android and take a try on it !

Samsung phone is outdated too fast...
it is because of too much production and lack of previous update for phones...

now u buy quad core...
next year already come out exynos 5250 dual core... superior to the quad core...

Duration... < 6 months...

I don't like the idea when new come out the previous phone is left out cause want to promote the new phone... the update is so far long time to wait which s**k .. pfff

Yea. iPhone only 1 series a year. Samsung got s series, note series, tab series etc etc. all keep launching new products within few months.

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 28 2012, 10:47 AM)
So Apple announced the iPad 3 and then removing it from the store 6 months later when they announced the iPad 4, fitted with some updates (A6x, Lightning etc). Does that qualify for the iPad 3 to be outdated as well? Well, as you've said, 6 months.

Heck, when the iPad 4 is announced, they removed the iPad 3 from their online stores. Now, what about the current iPad 3 users who just bought it a month or less before the announcement of iPad 4? How would they feel? Apple is no different from Samsung in terms of leaving consumers behind and producing products too fast after this move.

If you want to compare like this, the. How bout the launching of iPad 2 and iPad 3 and iPhone 1-5 ? Apple first time release their new products less than a year. So do Samsung ?

TBH, i'm a hard core iPhone fans. But i'll be getting a note 2 tomorrow. From my research, i found that note 2 has a lot features and improvement in function which iphone 5 couldn't compare with it. I would recommend those who active with modifying their phone to take a try with note 2. For users who prefer simplicity, stick with iphone smile.gif

Off course is iPhone will have higher second hand value. Samsung price will jump like hell. This is the concern for me to choose between iPhone 5 and note 2. If I get iPhone 5, I will feel paying money with not much different and surprise. But, if I get note 2, with same money, I will get something different and surprise...
Hard to choose~~~ rclxub.gif

try and google features of s pen and note 2. pay same money with no surprise? how much do you know about note 2 and how much did you know about iphone?
