Galaxy S3 Beats iPhone 5s and 5c in Touch Accuracy

iPhones are just like your girlfriend...
You have to touch them exactly right every time or you get an improper response!

Yea, this does not surprise me at all. I noticed this as well.

iPhones are overrated toys. This along with the borked sensors and subpar components make iphones cheap chinese crapola.

In terms of quality, this has also been my experience with Apple products in general and I have owned many over the years. They look and "feel" somewhat high end, but tend to be prone to mechanical failure and get damaged easily. It is also true that iPhones cost a lot less to produce than their counterparts from Samsung, Motorola, and LG even though they are sold at the same price or higher.

I love my Galaxy S III. I'm hoping that when I'm eligible for upgrade (next summer) there will be a phone which is just as much of an amazing piece of hardware as it is.

No surprise here. Moving on

Agree about the S3 still being a great phone. It still packs enough GPU and CPU horsepower for almost anything except maybe the latest 3D games.

S3 has a bigger screen and a higher resolution. It's obvious you are able to touch smaller areas better.

But when it comes to screen touch lag, even an iPhone 4 beats the S3.

they should do the same test with the nexus 4 and nexus 5, I believe that they are important phones! touch accurracy and reaction time are almost the most important feature of the touch experience, have you ever use a resistive screen? a smartphone doesn't feel too smart if it can't read where you are pointing!!!

AND NOW!! the S3 is slow as dirt! hate my foon....i have to mod it reinstall it root it........just to have a fast foon again, i mean common this is not Windows...

I thought this had already been explained a week ago when this news first reached most websites. Apple uses perspective compensation so that users touch what they're trying to touch. So yes, the robot is holding it wrong.

So does Samsung and most other manufacturers.

These tests should be made standard. Companies would surely start caring more about their touch screens' accuracy once it started being benchmarked.

I would love to see this TEST done on all cell-phones... LG, Motorola, HTC, SONY and even MS-Nokia-Blackberry

The new displays are by Sharp, and have been since the lawsuit against Samsung.
