Samsung is expected to extend their flagship version of Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S3 while Apple is expected to draw out iPhone 5 out of their weaponry. Samsung has already drawn a bigger margin with its latest Android flagship collaboration with Google Inc., the Galaxy Nexus.
Meanwhile, speculations are abuzz with the announcement of Samsung Galaxy S3 to take place during Mobile World Congress Feb 28. On the other hand, Apple is rumored to release its iPhone 5 in the second half of the year.

Android vs iPhone: What Android phones can do that iPhone can't
True 4G: LTE & WiMAX - Certain Android phones like the Motorola DROID Bionic and HTC Thunderbolt boast 4G LTE connectivity. Over on Sprint, you can find multiple WiMAX capable devices as well as upcoming LTE devices like the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. Lastly AT&T has also announced a couple of LTE devices for 2012. In the case of the iPhone 4S, all three carrier variants only offer 3G speeds.
Widgets: One of the most-talked about feature of Android phones will no doubt have to be widgets. The ability to see certain information without clicking on the app is not only a timesaver but allows for a more richer app experience. The ability to add widgets to your Android phone's home-screens will also be one of the many reasons why Android phones come in different screen size options ranging from the 3.7-inch HTC Desire to the humungous 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note.
Removable batteries: While there are some Android phones that no longer offer this option (Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola DROID RAZR), the majority of Android smartphones have removable batteries which makes it convenient to keep a spare battery on you anytime you are away from an AC outlet.
Removable SD card storage: Another great benefit is that you can swap your SD card in situations where you are busy snapping pictures with your Android phone's camera and hit a storage limit. It is also useful for music hoarders and those that carry many files around and use their Android phones as a USB.
