Samsung Galaxi S III beats Apple’s iPhone

The large screens of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2 helped Samsung’s flagship smartphones beat out the iPhone 5 in consumer satisfaction.


The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 beat out the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S with scores of 84 compared to 82 in the study from the American Customer Satisfaction Index at Michigan State. Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is absent as the survey completed in March 2013 ahead of the launch of the device.


This data looks at consumer satisfaction in the US. A survey using the same criteria placed the iPhone 5 ahead of the Galaxy S3 in Korea.


Apple and Samsung work together for some components of these top smartphones, but when it comes to sales and marketing the companies are bitter rivals. Samsung ads often highlight features that aren’t found on the iPhone or slam Apple users.


This new report comes right as Apple is reportedly putting the finishing details on the iPhone 5Srelease date and Samsung is hurriedly working on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with a larger display.
