Smartphone wars! Samsung vs. Apple...Mobile HandsetThe Samsung Galaxy S II's proportions are 125.3x66.1x8.49mm weighing in at 116g.Apple's iPhone 4's dimensions are 115.2x58.6x9.3mm with its weight being 137gThat being said, the iPhone 4 does have a slightly more compact design, the sole exception being its thickness. The Galaxy S II beats it in thinness by a tiny margin of only a scant millimeter. The Galaxy S II also weighs 21 grams under the weight of the iPhone 4. These differences are so minor that they are almost insignificant, and either unit may be a fabulous pick if you are looking for a svelte, compact design from a smartphone. It all comes down to personal preference, and whether you would rather have your phone be a little shorter yet a smidgen thicker, or if you want the largest screen you can find, but you don't mind it being a bit larger in the pocket.We'll consider this one a draw!Screen DisplaySamsung's Galaxy S II posesses a larger screen at 4.3" but the iPhone 4's screen is just 3.5".The iPhone 4's display is LED back-lit, using a capacitive TFT touch-screen, that has awesome 960 x 640 resolution, featuring a scratch-resistant oleophobic surface, and multi-touch, as well as a 3-axis gyro auto-rotate sensor. The Galaxy S II boasts a Super AMOLED Plus screen, which has a very respectable 800 x 480 resolution.It is difficult to figure out which of these units provides a better display, since iPhone 4 has got the better resolution, and the Galaxy S II's Super AMOLED Plus is brighter, displaying more vibrant colors. Perhaps the fact that the Galaxy S II has more battery efficiency gives it a small edge above the iPhone in this particular category.OsSamsung's Galaxy S II runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, while iPhone 4 runs the newest iOS, by Apple.Yet again, it is a tough contest! The Android platform possesses the benefit of being more easily customized, but Apple's iOS is truly wonderful and time-tested, as a smooth and dependable OS. It depends upon your personal taste, ultimately. If you prefer something simple, streamlined, and user-friendly, which you already know works well, Apple has your solution. If you want to tailor your OS to your specific needs, Android could very well be the choice for you,although it is a much newer OS, whichstill contains some kinks that will likely be addressed in the following, or subsequent version. (Specifically, Android has an irritating Web-browser, to which Opera, or some other 3rd-party browser can provide a workable alternative. Also, there are fragmentation issues to consider, since future versions of this relatively new OS will have to merge Gingerbread's phone system and Honeycomb's tablet system into a better, more user-friendly platform.)I believe that Apple will have the edge here, but your mileage may vary.StorageApple's iPhone 4 features your choice of 16 or 32 GB of storage space, with 512 MB of RAM, but has the downside of lacking card support. Samsu ng's Galaxy S II has the same internal memory options, but has 1 GB of RAM, and in addition supplies the option of having up to 32 GB via a Micro SD card.Samsung obviously comes out leading in this category.CamerasSamsung Galaxy S II sports an 8-mega-pixel primary camera at the back of the unit, featuring LED flash with video and image capture capabilities of 1080p. Galaxy S II also provides a 2-mega-pixel camera in front.Apple's iPhone 4 only has a 5-mega-pixel primary camera, also with LED flash and resolution of 2592 x 1944, and 720p image and video capture capabilities. It also offers touch-focus and geo-tagging functions. iPhone 4's secondary camera is especially suitable for its video-call function, supported by Wi-Fi.Clearly, Samsung offers the better choice in camera options.ApplicationsEven though Android's apps are constantly increasing in number and quality, currently, it's nowhere near Apple's top spot as the best supplier of apps. Apple's iOS devices are still u nbeatable due to their astounding collection of awesome apps.iPhone 4 is definitely the clear winner on the app contest.ProcessorApple's iPhone 4 is powered by a 1 GHz Apple A4 processor, which, surprisingly, is manufactured by Samsung. This processor contains a single ARM Cortex-A8 CPU core in combination with a PowerVR SGX 535 graphics processor, also called the GPU. Samsung's Galaxy S II utilizes Samsung's proprietary Exynos Dual Core Application Processor.Apple's processors have, from the beginning, been impressive, performance-wise, and have to date allowed Apple to top the smartphone market in excellence. However, the new Galaxy S II will have a bit of an edge, utilizing a Dual Core Processor, and as a consequence, comes out looking just a bit more as though it belongs in the next wave of devices. Assuming the apps used by the Android OS are well-supported by way of a Dual Core processor, and assuming there'll be many, many more such apps coming, the processor within t he Samsung device would have to be regarded as preferable over what Apple is now providing. However, Apple's processor does a fabulous job of supporting a whole lot of apps already out today, and which don't require a dual core to operate well.Once more, the winner is hard to choose. Apple supports the largest number of apps in the present market, with its better than adequate processor, while Samsung's forward-thinking Dual Core strategy may very well allow them to take the lead in versatility as time passes. You must decide which is the right option for your personal processing needs.OverallIt's been a rather tough call! The iPhone 4 is an amazing device, that is difficult to disparage, since current apps for it are incredibly numerous, and of such fabulous quality.Samsung, however really is looking ahead in their design of the Galaxy S II, by fortifying features like its camera and memory, and ultizing leading edge technology like the Dual Core processor and more power-ef ficient battery use for the screen.It appears as if Apple is merely sticking with what's tried and true, and catering to its well-dominated corner of the smartphone market. The new iPhone 4, while quite a solid product, just isn't particularly innovative. Conversely, Samsung has been working for a while toward securing a top position in the market, with their very respectable Galaxy S, and now their even more impressive Galaxy S II. Looks like Apple will have to stop resting on their laurels assuming they plan to stay on top, because Samsung is just about to give them a run for their money!--
