Foxconn CEO is claiming that iPhone 5 will beat Samsung Galaxy S3 from every angle

Who will win the war between the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3? Well nobody can tell at this time as iPhone 5 is not yet launched in the market but Foxconn CEO Terry Gou is already claiming that iPhone 5 will beat Galaxy S3 from every angle.

In a direct quote from the interview with Terry Gou by China Times Terry Gou said that consumers should wait for the launch of Apple iPhone 5 because it will Galaxy S3 to shame. Well how will it beat is yet to be answered. Foxconn ( if you don’t know ) is the manufacturer of Apple products and is based on China.

Foxconn has a 10 per cent share in Japanese Display manufacturer Sharp. And this is the reason the next Apple TV will use panels from Sharp.

Terry Gou also believes that Japanese are more trustworthy than Koreans (Samsung)

Is this the right time to invest 30K+ rupees on a mobile phone?

If you are a mobile buff or an mobile enthusiast who want the best of the best smartphone available in the market that according to me this is not the right time to invest Rs. 30K+ on a smartphone. I am here not considering the 20K bracket because that range is already saturated with the offering from Sony (Xperia U, Xperia Sola), Samsung (Ace Plus), HTC(One V) and Nokia (Lumia 710). Slowly and slowly Rs. 30K+ range is also becoming saturated but still the main contender in that range is missing that is Apple IPhone 5.

note 2Samsung had already launched Galaxy S3 for around Rs. 37,500(local retail) which is the biggest competitor to upcoming IPhone 5. HTC One X is the another quad core contender to compete with both Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple IPhone 5. There is also a rumour going around that Samsung is Going to launch Galaxy Note 2 in near future. It will also be powered with a quad core CPU but will feature a 1.5 GB RAM and a 5.5 inch display.

But among all these rumours, the rumour regarding the launch of the upcoming IPhone 5 is the most prominent which is expected to be launched in September of this year. If rumour are to be believed than Apple IPhone 5 packs some serious improvements over it’s predecessors. Here is the list of the improvements that is expected to be featured in IPhone 5:

  • First and foremost is the 4.0 inch retina display. Apple was always criticized for keeping the display size of their flagship IPhone 4S at 3.5 inch. 3.5 inch smartphones are usually available in 20K bracket here in India and everyone will expect something bigger at 40K price range. So this improvements will remove this bad point. 4 inch is a decent size.
  • Resolution of the screen will be 1136 X 640
  • HD Front facing camera for high quality video chat
  • Maximum aperture size for the rear camera lens can be increased from 2.2 to 2.4
  • Improved LTE support

So 2 of the 3 beats of the smartphone are already released into the market but we are still waiting for the final one. So i will recommend you to wait till September at least and get your smartphone after comparing all 3 with each other.
