bias article...iphone wins in everything samsung made its best job with galaxy s 2 but it should be launch in march...Apple would love to have the new AMOLED screen on their iPhone5. Actually, they probably will given Apple signed a contract with Samsung to buy the displays and memories from them. Many thanks for the informative article. I feel safe to buy a Samsung phone now. Hope Telstra gets the latest model.
Sad Optus spent 2billion bucks up grading. I live in possibly the richest region in Australia..Mackay Ie coal mining/sugar/tourism and live 22kms from the city of Mackay. Yet Optus tell me no 3G at my place.
Again thanks for the clever article....you know in a democracy freedom is important...Apple made in the USSR Samsung Galaxy S II beats the Iphone 4 in every possible way there is to beat. Hats off samsung, the reign of apple iphone is about to be over. Because galaxy s II has better ram (2x), better battery life, better camera and video, much better display in practical and definitely lower price alaxy dobles up iphone in everyway excvept for the price. So galaxy is the looser (!) to become a half price. what a sad point for iphone users...
It's hard to compare these phones because the Samsung Galaxy S II hasn't even come out yet, but the iPhone 4 has been out for a year. It might be worth re-comparing them when the iPhone 5 comes out.
I'm going to buy the G S2, because I love Android over iOS, and I think it's the best of the droids at the moment. However doing a compare against an old model iPhone isn't really credible unless you're going to make a purchase decision in between the 1 or 2 months that the iPhone 5 is unavailable. I'm sure iP5 will be just as competitive as the G S2 in many areas.
On top of that:
Samsung looks like to be saving money on the design, because they seem to have copied almost everything from the iPhone - starting with the case of the phone itself, aswell as their software-
Could be the reason why its much cheaper :-)
Well on paper he samsung might cut it, but in real life it is still a big question.
The iphone might have a slower CPU, but the OS is specificly designed to work with that hardware so perhaps the iphone needs less hardware to be faster allround. (also counts for its apps) Also android is still not as refined as iOS and perhaps never will be due to its open source (wich can also be a big pré) and the fact that there are a gazillion phones wich must be able to run it.
Also, the iphone display delivers more pixels per inch thant the samsung, so it might still be a crispier screen.
Then, the 8 MP cam doesn't say much about the image quality. As whe all know its the image sensor behind it that counts (try comparing an 12 mp digital compact cam to a 10 MP DSLR - because of the DSLR's bigger sensor it still beats the compact by miles - this is also the case with the iphone and especially gives away when the surrounding lights get a bit darker - the result on a small image sensor is a noise canon - just like nokia's N8 - In other words, more MP's does not mean better photo quality, only bigger images)
I hope its better than that horrid galaxy 1 because that realy is a slouch
@Rob
LoL mate, you are funny.
Have read your reviews and can only say you are an Apple Cult member. For sure!
e.g.
How can you say Android and iOS is a draw? Open is beter than closed. Android has more specs (features/functions) than iOS. Wnat me to go on?
How can you say the iPhone 4 Display technology and SGS II is a Unknow? Comeone, everyone knows that SAMOLEAD+ is much superior to LCD - even Apple knows it and has been begging Sammy for this (hint, what do you think the real reason behind the Apple sueing Sammy is? - its to get access to Sammies superior technologies!)
HDMI-out : SGS2 can do this (cable is optional), iCrap can not.
Application store: WHy you say Apple is better. is it just because there are more apps available? Lol, then you should just say iPhone is the best phone in teh world because it the most expensive! Lol! (and guess what is the most expensive phone in the world???)
Processor: SGS 2 is 1.2 GHz, not 1. Please update.
3G networks: This is a Draw. SGS2 supprots the same as iCrap4.
Multitouch: SGS 2 is better. This is due to two factors, 1) the SGS2 processor, 2) the SGS2 SAMOLED+ is thinner and less air gaps.
Battery: Better on SGS2 because of 1) more capacity, 2) removeable and replaceable.
Rob, when you compre on specs, pleasse at least have the correct updated specs. And if you do not know which spec is better then read a bit to find out. Many people see reviews like this and go by it without realising that the author himself do not know - blind leading the blind!
To put this simple:
SGS > iPhone 4
SGS 2 >> iPhone 4
SGS 2 will be >> iPhone 5
SGS 3 will be >>> iPhone 5.
Apple days are over. Sell your shares. Hoistory repeating itself for Apple again (hint...Win PC vs Apple PC).
Game over.... <<<BANG>>>
@Dennis
Mate, iCap is yesterday. No matter what you say, the fact still remains: SGS II >> iCrap4.
Why you say Samsung is saving money on the design? Is that your justification why iCrap is more expensive? Could not be that iStveGod is ripping you off?
So hat did Sammie copy? They make the key components for the iCrap dude. If anything, ipple copied from Sammie!. Lets see the outcome of the cout case and put you at rest for once and all - and btw SGS II is not in teh mix for the court case - : ) lol
Software copy: yep lets see how many features iCrap5 takes from Android in the next iOS release....
If you really belive that iCrap 4 (or 5) is faster than SGS II then you are just plain blind. Did you know that Apple does not do any manufacturing at all! I rather buy from a company that actually manufacturs the phone than one that use sub-contractors whos employees have a massive suicide stat!
iCrap does have more PPI. But SGS II is bigger display, superior display tech, beter on battery, better for outdoor reading, more vibrant colours, better viewing angles, less airgaps, etc, etc. Lets put these two phones next to each other and then you can comment on which display you prefer.... (in your case as an icult member you probably will always pick i crap even if it has no display!)
8 MP cam : Why dont you post more informed opinions by actually posting real examples and real technical facts. You are just stabbing in the dark for things that you do not understand.
SGS is a great phone, and better than iCrap4. Saying it is a slouch shows your uninformed, uneducated guess. It craps all over iCrap - lol.
Dennis, Apple days are over. They have stolen enough now from other real mobile phone manufactures/designers. It was just a question of time before people realise this and that iCrap was never a contender any. All the stats are out there. Time for you to admit it and buy a real smart phone! -- Unless Apple Marketing pays you for spreading lies!
You are comparing a next year phone with last years phone. Not really a fair article? You should rewrite comparing it to the Galaxy S not S2
Iphone 5 will no doubt be out Sept. Lets do this again. But you will probably do Galaxy S3 versus iphone 5 in which case it will be better because they waited for Apple to release.
Samsung - copier
Apple - Innovator.
Why so many Apple haters? Before they came along what did you all cradle in your hands? Bricks like Nokia 6210 or worse you considered N600 to be the pinacle of phone design.
Funny how people DONT support the ones who brought in a fresh way of thinking about phones. But go for the knockoffs who only follow and copy. Nobody wants to pay for "ideas", they just want to pay for cheaper parts. Pathetic.
Dear Alfonzo,
the reason people are anti-iphone (and i am one of them) is because of the closed operating system and Apple's total rejection of culpability of design faults (antenna, operating system, etc).
Putting aside design faults, because each smartphone will have something, the key reason i am against the iphone is because they are closing things more and more in the back end.
What exactly would happen if they had open source for the operating system? It's supposedly hardware specific and would give the people who buy the product the freedom to do what they want with the product they purchased - legal or illegal. And if you read the terms and conditions, the owner of the product is liable, not the manufacturer for illegal use.
So...
what's the problem?
Yes. Apple came up with a GREAT idea, but someone came up with an even better business model.
This is not paying for ideas, you are paying because Apple knows most people will pay (business model to get maximum money for minimal ideas - c.f. crude oil). If there were less people like you and more who reject Apples dictatorial ways things may change again - for the better.
If anyone is offended, please accept my apologies.
