In today’s mobile phone market there are two models that stand out from the crowd for very different reasons. The white iPhone 4 is, without a doubt, the ideal phone for those more concerned with style. The convenience of this model is huge thanks mainly to excellent marketing from Apple and also thanks to the brilliantly simple iPhone operating system that the device runs on. On the other hand we have the Samsung Galaxy S2, a phone that has been well received by critics thanks to its excellent specifications, but the model still lacks some of the praise that the Apple product has. So if you’re looking for a new mobile, which of these two great models should grab your attention?
If you’re looking for an ultra-slim mobile phone, there’s very little to choose between these two very stylish models. At its launch, the iPhone 4 was heralded as the slimmest phone available, but that was several months ago and now phones like the Motorola Atrix and this Samsung phone have moved ahead in this department. The difference is literally less than a millimeter and I am sure that neither of the two models will disappoint you if you have them in the palm of your hand.
There is a big difference in screen size between these two models, so the width and height measurements are obviously considerably larger on the Samsung thanks to its huge 4.3-inch screen compared to the 3.5-inch screen. inches installed on the iPhone. Style-wise, Apple’s phone doesn’t stray too far from the tried-and-trusted format that has seen these products become a hit with consumers. The S2, on the other hand, moves away from the curves found on the original Galaxy phone and replaces them with a much more angular design that, while not as instantly appealing as the iPhone, still packs a punch.
One area that may surprise you is how the screens compare to each other. The Samsung Galaxy S2 offers a screen that, despite being larger, somehow dwarfs the renowned Retina display featured on the white iPhone 4. Although Samsung offers a lower resolution of 480 x 800 along with a larger screen, the Super AMOLED technology it uses seems to increase the image quality to a level that exceeds the 960 x 640 that can be seen on the LED screen. backlit that the iPhone offers. One area where Apple still reigns supreme is when it comes to apps on its phones, as iTunes currently offers tens of thousands of games and utilities. The number offered by the Android platform is constantly increasing and at some point in the future it may overshadow Apple, but right now the iPhone still offers a larger and more varied selection.
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the phone that will outshine the iPhone 4, certainly in terms of specs. However, there are a number of die-hard Apple lovers who display strong brand loyalty, ensuring that any unit they release is hugely popular. This same loyalty is not present with Samsung, but if they continue to produce phones of this quality, that could change very soon.
