The Samsung Galaxy S III is just a bit better than the Huawei Ascend D2, having a general score of 70 against 64.5.

Both phones in our current comparison work with Android OS, but the Samsung Galaxy S III has the newer 4.3 version while Huawei Ascend D2 has Android 4.1.2, so it provides the user a couple additional features.
The Huawei Ascend D2 counts with a slightly better screen than Samsung Galaxy S III, because it has a greater pixel count in each inch in the screen, a quite bigger display and a lot better 1920 x 1080 resolution.
