Samsung Galaxy S2 vs Apple iPhone 4S

In my previous post I did a comparison of Samsung Galaxy Pop and Samsung Galaxy Y. These were entry level android phones. Now I am going to compare iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S2 probably the two best smart phones out there. First let’s talk about Galaxy S2-

 

Samsung Galaxy S2 is a very light weight phone with just 116gm weight. It is having a 4.3 inches super AMOLED plus capacitive touch screen which give a resolution of 480x800 pixels with 210 ppi pixel density. Ofcourse it is a multi-touch phone with gorilla glass display. The RAM in it 1GB.It is a dual camera phone with 8MP primary camera and 2MP secondary camera for video calling. With primary camera you can take pics at 3264x2448 pixels and it allows you to take full HD videos 1080p with 30fps.Camera is having autofocus and LED flash capabilities. It also supports Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization features. Currently this phone runs on Gingerbread which will be getting Icecream Sandwich soon. The processor is 1.2 GHz cortex A9 which complement the phone nicely. Talking about the battery life, there is 1650 mAh Li-ion battery which gives a talktime of about 18h20min on 2G and 8h40min on 3G.

Now it’s the turn of Apple’s iPhone 4S.Siri is obviously the best features in it, which is the main reason for the record breaking sales of iPhone 4S.iPhone 4S is a bit heavier than Galaxy S2 with 140 gm weight. It is having 3.5 inches LED-backlit IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 640x960 which is better than Galaxy S2.It is having a RAM of 512 MB which is a downside for the phone. iPhone 4S runs iOS 5.Camera wise both the phones are equal. iPhone 4S is also loaded with 8MP camera with 3264x2448 pixels image capture ability and 1080p full HD video recording. The secondary camera is VGA. The processor is 1 GHz cortex A9 compared with 1.2 GHz of galaxy S2.The battery in it 1432 mAh Li-Po giving a talktime of 14 hr on 2G and 8 hr on 3G.

Both the phones are good, but I would suggest you to go for Samsung Galaxy S2 if you are not a diehard fan of Apple. As far as Siri is concerned Icecream Sandwich will be having a voice commanding system which is also very fast and accurate. Also Galaxy S2 is cheaper than iPhone 4S.So I think Samsung Galaxy S2 is definitely the better but among the two.
