According to a study performed by IHS, the Samsung Galaxy S3 has a better display than the “retina” display on the new iPhone 5. Their research shows that the Galaxy S3′s display is just 1.1mm thick and offers the full color gamut of the NTSC standard. The iPhone 5, on the other hand, has a display which measures in at 1.5 millimeters thick and offers only 72 percent of the standard color gamut. 

Yesterday, Samsung filed a patent suit against Apple’s brand new iPhone 5. Surprisingly though, the eight patents mentioned by Samsung do not concern LTE, but rather they focus on six utility patents and two standard essential patents regarding data transfer over a mobile network. Exciting stuff right there (/s). The device will be lumped into a grander trial that is taking place in November which also includes other Apple devices like their desktop computers, MacBooks, and even Apple TV. 

Oh Samsung, such a clever bunch. After releasing a full 90 second spot that pokes fun at Apple fans waiting in line for the iPhone 5, they return today with two shorter spots. They cover topics from the longer commercial, only this time they take some extra jabs, like by having a mom confirm with her Galaxy S3 owning son that “this is the line for apps” as if that’s all the iPhone is good for.

Another girl watches NFC sharing in action and then wonders when iPhone owners wil be “able to do that thing?” Not for a while I’m afraid, dear iPhone owners. Maybe next year. 

Android friends and family, tomorrow is a big day. It’s time to start preparing. In case you didn’t realize it yet, September 21 is the day that millions of new phone owners across the globe will have trouble finding their way to work, to the nearest gas station, to their lunch or dinner reservation, and as you can see in the picture above, surviving through take-off at their local airport. Tomorrow, is iPhone 5 launch day. 

We should have known that Samsung would produce another commercial having some fun with all of the folks who stand in those lines, holding up against the cold, waiting for the new iPhone from Apple. iOS fans have every right to be excited though – 4G LTE, bigger screen, and faster processor. But as Samsung would like to point out, those things have been around for a while and then some. 

Are you reading this while in line at your local Apple store waiting for the sixth installment of the iPhone dubbed the iPhone 5? If so, I’m hoping you’re not waiting for the iPhone that Fox News apparently thinks Apple is releasing. According to this video, the iPhone 5 is “sleeker, has a laser keyboard, holographic images, and other cool new features.” To top it off, you can grab this new iPhone for just $200! 

If you missed this full page newspaper ad that Samsung posted this weekend, then let me quickly catch you up. As you can see, it takes a quick cheap shot at Apple with the “genius” line before moving on to a list of specs and features that are created to make it look like the new iPhone 5 doesn’t even compare to the Galaxy S3. Tech blogs from across the world saw this ad over the weekend and completely freaked out, saying it was biased and so far from the truth because iPhone features were left out, and blah blah, blah blah. 

Just a heads up for those of you thinking about jumping ship and picking up the next iPhone. According to a Verizon spokesperson, the new iPhone 5 cannot do simultaneous voice and data, something all LTE Android phones seem to have no problem with. We aren’t exactly sure why it can’t, but it certainly doesn’t make this new single 3G+LTE chip of Apple’s seem all that magical any longer.
