So, I guess I was right about this too, again. When I listened to both iPhone 4S and Galaxy S3, the S3 sounded better to me. I have to work with sound cards for my work, so I can tell the quality difference also when playing FLAC. I bumped into this by accident. And yep, this proves that the Galaxy S3 has better sound quality, because it carries a discreet sound chip made by Wolfson.

Whereas the iPhone 4S uses a codec, and has been even criticized for its sound and even deemed inferior to the older iPhone 4 when it comes to audio quality.

Well, my work here is done. I guess I could have used 10 minutes to clear some things up. Back to work!
