gs3 doesn't come close compared to iPhone 5's sale, if you compared it to average sales per month.

average sale per month maybe, but you cant say it doesnt come close... it is the closest of all phones... and it is the fastest selling gadget ever, 9 million in 1 wekk, iPhone 5 just 5 million...

S3 outselling the iPhone 5 about 3:1 in our stores,that's not even mentioning other android handset sales. Of course I'm talking about carriers outside of the us in Europe where iPhone 5 sales rush lasted about first 2 deliveries for us and then it ended. Android has the vast majority share outside of the US

galaxy s3 shipped nearly 35 million devices, could not find current iPhone 5 stats but at 1 point they were 3:1 behind in terms of sales, the release of iPhone 5 in new countries including china and other Asian countries i think have now put them back in front i think, but not by much, apple has a more established brand in terms of fan base but galaxy devices are closing in on that also, it is interesting what will come for the s4, i have had the iPhone and then the sgs1, sgs2, sgs3, sgs3LTE and as long as Samsung continue to impress and advance then i see no reason to change from there more user friendly, media friendly handset, as in my personal use the s3 beats the iPhone hands down for what i need it to do, obviously other people need there phone for different things and apple will be their choice

it is possible actually, maybe by using capacitive sensor to measure the area of contact and detect it as accidental.

I it that you're from Lebanon or from somewhere near. I didn't mean to downsize the country or anything. I'm just amazed it came from a source from that side. Usually it comes from where Samsung is born. That's why...

Hey Nathan I am from Lebanon!
I thank you for your explanation that you are not offending other people! I really thank you for that as I was in the first both offended and surprised by your comment!
Fortunately, unlike most people out there think, Lebanon is one of the most advanced countries in the world in terms of technology adoption (and not making, we are losers at that).
When it comes to smartphones, I read for example on the net about smartphone adoption rates and laugh! Like 50% or something...
Here i'm sure it reaches about 90%! Even my father, my mother, my aunts and everyone I know has a smartphone! Me and all my friends have the latest smartphones, and I can't keep my cell for one year and I just have to change it!
And btw we are known as the "grey market" in smartphones! We are really really cheaper than other countries (except USA and maybe China).
For instance a new S2: 370$; new S3: 490$; new Note II: 600$; new iPhone 5: 720$....etc..
So I guess that's just a blessing!

Don't like losing screen real estate to onscreen buttons myself,just wastes some space. Have capacitive buttons just make the bezel they locate in a lot smaller
