The Samsung Galaxy S III was considered to be the best-selling smartphone in the entire world during the third quarter of the year 2012. In fact, it even defeated the iPhone 4S when it comes to sales.

This news is according to the report of the Strategy Analytics, which stated the S III was able to get a very impressive 11% of all the shares of smartphones that are shipped globally. This makes it the world’s best selling model of smartphone, which is considered to be the first.

However, many people were left wondering how was the flagship phone of Samsung able to surpass the admired iPhone 4s, which dropped to the number 2 spot during the third quarter sales.  One of the raised arguments was that most people did not buy the latter because they know that an iPhone 5 will be released on September.

Getting to Know the Samsung Galaxy S III

Note: The one thing both the Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 4s does have in common is that both phones aren’t invulnerable to unexpected accidents. Water damage and cracked screen can make the operation of either device impossible. The experts at iFixYouri are experienced in smartphone repair and can certainly help.

For beginners, the S III has a very huge screen (4.8 inches), which is a lot bigger compared to the 3.5 inch screen of the iPhone. This can be very helpful especially when you are using apps such as the LogMeIn Free to access office PC or the CamScanner to turn the printed documents into the PDFs. Aside from this, wide screens are also very helpful for people who use their thumbs to type and it also provides comfortable typing and easier viewing.

The 4G LTE Option

The Samsung model also features the 4G LTE option, while the iPhone 4S only has a 3G technology. The added speed is also considered to be very crucial for uploading photos or downloading very large attachments. This is also useful for remote access since it allows users to connect faster.

Memory Cards and  Extra Storing Capacity

Last but not the least, the Samsung Galaxy S 3 also allows users to insert a memory card for extra storing capacity. Aside from this, it is also capable of swapping a replacement battery when the power runs very low. On the other hand, the iPhone 4S also has a closed design, which means that it is not capable of battery exchanges and has no memory expansion.

Because of these factors, it is definitely easy to understand why the S III was able to top the sales list in Q3. Fast connectivity, wider screen, and helpful expansion features are always beneficial for those users who prize productivity the most.
