A Galaxy ahead

I've wrote about 2 budget phones so far but they would only make an iPhone user laugh because the two phones are so far behind, they can't touch the iPhone. they can't even touch iPhone's shadow. So before these iPhone users start to get cocky, it's best to remind everyone of a phone that's already move far ahead of it. Of course I am talking about the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The S2 runs on a 1.2Ghz dual core processor. All benchmark testing have put dual core machine well ahead of their single cored counterparts and S2 is the fastest of them all. It also improved on the Super Amoled screen from last year model that many critics touted to be the best screen in a mobile phone to the new Super Amoled Plus screen. And at the size of 4.3", it's almost big enough for some people to render a tablet unnecessary. After all, the S2 is already very capable with its high speed internet, GPS and a great reading hub to store all your e-books and magazine. It's also interesting to note that Samsung already announce a 5.3" screen Galaxy Note that would function as a phone cum tablet but that would be story for another day.

Android has always provide a better Social Networking Service (SNS) integration than the iOS in iPhone so users are about to sync all their contacts information more effortlessly. Its camera is just as good as those in an iPhone but with more shooting options plus higher resolution of 8MP, not to mention it records video in full HD compared to iPhone's HD recording. As if it hasn't beaten the iPhone enough, it even comes with full connectivity to anything, including the new NFC technology. That is not all because this phone also has a player capable of playing any videos in any formats that you throw at it. I could go on and on but this blog is supposed to be simple so I'll just add one more - full Flash support for your browsing pleasure, something that the iPhone will never ever have.

It gets a bit crazy when you compare the S2 to the iPhone 4 because you just want to go into detail about how everything is superior in the Android machine. To be fair to Apple though, theirs is a model from last year being compared to the best from this year. But then again, it's noone's fault that Apple hasn't been able to release a new model that can beat the S2 yet.

Still I have to admit that as much as the Super Amoled Plus screen is mind blowing with its vivid colour, I am a bigger fan of iPhone's high res and more natural coloured Retina display. There also some people may find the S2 a little too big for their liking but that's it. These are the only two points that favour the iPhone for me.
