Once we go through the specs it becomes pretty clear that the three flagship phones compare pretty well. While the Nokia Lumia 920 seems to have an edge in terms of the camera and display technology, the Samsung Galaxy S III provides the largest display and battery and the iPhone 5, on the other hand, makes for the most compact smartphone and wins out in terms of industrial design. The pricing of the iPhone 5 will be closer to what we have seen with the Samsung Galaxy S III, but Nokia is yet to announce any information regarding pricing and release, so it could turn out be a make or break launch for Nokia.
