Iphone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S2

What is your personal opinion about the 2 phones.
Sent from my Rooted GT-I9100 Cognition S2 v1.08 using XDA Premium App

My opinion is that they cannot be compared. Not because of the fanyboyism that will blind some, but that they are entire different generations of hardware. The iPhone 4 was released over a year ago, and the Galaxy S2 was just released. The original Galaxy S is what should be compared to the iphone 4 because of the similar specs/release date. Saying that I feel the Galaxy S2 is obviously the superior phone.

Stop feeding teh troll
Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD

quality vs. high powered
simply just own both of them. i used to have 4 iphones back in august. 1 2g, 2 3g, and a 3gs 32gb.

lol...
I prefer just to have one phone, and spend more money on cheese.

I'm neutral, but interesting to note that Samsung Galaxy S outsold iPhone 4 in Q1 of this year in Japan. That's quite an achievement for a single Android device.

You can't compare them, the galaxy obviously has better hardware and it runs Android, can't compare any Android device with any ios device in my opinion there both in classes of there own, the only true test would be to run Android on the iPhone and vice versa, but in terms of hard ware the 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor in the 4 hasn't got any where near the power of the Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, then the g2 has double the RAM and full hd recording, there is no contest, is have one but I'm a HTC man just waiting for them to release a nice big dual core

And buttered toast. And tea while you're at it.

galaxy has better harware

Compared to the S2, the iPhone 4 is WORTHLESS in every aspect. It's not even a comparison, they're worlds apart.

Have a SGS and a iphone 4,
Overall like the SGS more for tweeking, gave the iphone 4 to my GF and she loves it lol

So, according to you, the iPhone is like your d!ck?
I jest, I jest.

I think this will be an endless loop, cuz igone 5 will be better, den sgs3 will be better and so on

Well, the Loyal Apple Users will obviously always choose iPhone 4 over any other phone, without comparing the hardware. In terms of software, it all comes down to personal choice really. Some people prefer the iOS, while most others prefer Android. But the Samsung Galaxy S II beats the iPhone 4 hands down when it comes to hardware, so its obviously the better phone imo.

What after galaxy s

What to buy after galaxy s .. cannot afford s3

cant wait going to buy galaxy nexus..

did you consider htc ome s?
i was
At the end I have took sgs3 but if my butget was tight i was prepared to take one s
pros:
1. arm15 on board so future proof
2. realy good build quality (even better than sgs3, and I know what I am talking waiting for delivery of otter box comuter case for my sgs3!! )
3. chaper options for monthly rental, at least 5 to 8 pounds a month.
4 nice screen
cons
1 Not samsung
2 not sgs3
cheers

If I need to buy this year,I will buy SGS2.
If I will buy next year,I will buy SGS3.
No-matter SGS2 or SGS3 I will buy used phone and in warranty.
Because in my country just warranty 1yeas and new phone must cost me about $700,so I will buy used phone.

So u guys suggesting a strict no to nexus? I live in india here galaxy s2 is i9100g which is not so good for custom rom..dont hav a budget for s3 or even one s..

I was thinking to switch to a Galaxy nexus, but reconsidered. Now I'll wait for the next nexus(es?) mobiles to be announced and probably get that.

Bolded text is horribly wrong. The i9100G sports the OMAP4 processor, just like the Galaxy Nexus. It's much easier to develop for this particular chipset if compared to the i9100 Exynos chip, and as the previous poster has pointed out, CM10 nightlies are already out for the i9100G but not for the i9100.

Thank You
Thanks, this helped me too.

lol couldn't wait..already ordered the nexus..hope its as good as the galaxy s turned out to be..thanx guys

Why do you need to upgrade it?
It's funny... even after two years, I haven't found a single phone I'd much rather have than the SGS. Most newer models are just too damn big. The S is the perfect size, and recent software upgrades have made it faster than ever.

Yes the Galaxy S1 is most rom and mods, rather than later, and is still the best.

I love my Galaxy S and I will change it only when it dies.
It still is the best price/performance out there, its size is perfect, it has one of the best sound chips on the market and it has a big list of custom ROMs.

so glad i went with my nexus ....

just watch the train wreck of unpacking that was samsungs sgs4 that i like to call the sgs 3s
VERY HAPPY I BOUGHT A NEXUS

So stupid. It's almost the same phone, so uninspired.

I like my nexus too, but wouldn't be mad if we could get those camera functions on the nexus. I am sure that my wife would like the dual camera shot.

What are the specs of the s4?

Only cool thing i liked about it was the size of it, the brilliant looking screen and the cool colours and textures of the phone

Samsung's approach: Pack as many gimmicky features into crappy feeling hardware and crappy looking ui. yuck! Could they make the phone look anymore cheaper. And that touchwiz ui... WOW does it look crappy.

agreed. It looks like a good phone with some cool features. I like my phone better, but this is probably going to be great for all of those sgs2 users that are about to come off contract.

Mainly camera functions. Maybe Samsung should focus more of their energy into camera.

Happens in every forum. Everybody loves the phone they have and will defend it ruthlessly. When another, newer phone comes out people bash it. Just how it is. The sgs4 is a nice phone. Its not a let down or disappointment. Its just not a nexus. Nexus gets first updates and amazing development. That's what matters to me the most.

After the nightmare of dealing with Samsung and ODIN I vowed NEVER to own a Samsung Phone again. SGS4 looks like more of the same as the SGS3 and as someone called it the SGS3s That is exactly Samsung's strategy. They are copying Apple even more in this regard. They will keep the SGS3 going for another year as the more "Affordable" SGS like they were doing with the SGS2 recently. Notice all the Deep discounts for the SGS3 lately? I can't wait to get my self all on the Nexus Line (as well as my Wife). Tired of all these bad Custom UIs and Carrier Hostage crises.

saw the live event. Its nothing revolutionary as Galaxy S3 was. Most of event focused on gimmick features. It has some cool features but nothing wowed me .

Samsung hit the nail by putting ipad 4 powervr 533mhz oc gpu and octo core on international s4 . the us version has adreno gpu same as nexus 4.This will smoked any mobile devices until tegra 4 and qualcomm 800 released.
you all know which one i am getting.

i will buy Note n7000

i will buy a new phone after 2 days and i think to buy note 1 n7000
can any one explain what the problems that faces this phone
is it laggy ?
some peoples say the s2 better than the note !! i want to know is it real

I auggest go for canvas 4 instead of note 1.
Canvas 4 can easily beat note 1 in daily use performance.
U will see many people over here talking about benchmarks and an tu tu tu which frankly hardly makes any difference in daily usage.
Note 1 with JB is laggy and nobody can prove this wrong.
N same is the case with S2.
Canvas 4 less costly, many features are same except PEN. You will have smart stay, smart pause etc etc.

Go for nexus phone... Samsung nexus or nexus 4...

I'll sneak in here among the hail of bullets Samsung is receiving to shoot my praise.

I haven't used a Samsung device in over a year (S2). I've been using the HTC One since last April. A great phone, I've been satisfied with it now than any other so far. However I'm looking for a change now, and the S5 looks perfect. I am super excited to get it!
My biggest gripes with the One was the non-removable battery firstly, and lack of water/dust proofing. Everything else about it is awesome. I'm glad the S5 can take care of those issues for me.

The removable battery is the ONLY thing that would make me consider S5 over the rest. But honestly, if you're on an S4 already, I see absolutely no reason to upgrade.
I've owned the S1, S2, S3, and S4, and each iteration brought big enough leaps that warranted a year over year upgrade (better GPS, bigger screen + higher resolution, significantly faster, etc). Unless you're on a Galaxy device older than an S4, there really is nothing new here.

Everybody is expecting miracles but let's remember one fact: iPhone 4,4s,5,5s all use the same design. And we are talking about 4 years of development,right? I think Samsung has offered a step forward with S5 from 3 points of view: best processor at the time, ip67, and ( o dp really hope) the best camera in a smarphone. I just hoped for 3 gb of ram and minimum 32 Gb internal.
