iPhone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S II:
Form Factor
- 1st: Galaxy S II
- 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49mm, 117g
2nd: iPhone 4
- 115.2 x 58.7 x 9.3mm, 137g
While
there are four dimensions of statistics to consider in this category,
it’s only really two that count and the Samsung Galaxy S II comes out
top in both. The latest flagship mobile from the Korean tech giant
claims to be the world’s thinnest at just 8.49mm and its amazing
considering the high end technology inside. The superior screen size on
the Samsung, and all the extras included make the Samsung Galaxy S II
the winner of this round.
Storage
1st: Galaxy S II
16/32GB + microSD
2nd: iPhone 4
16/32GB
Pretty
simple one to judge here. Both phones offer the same amount of flash
storage with the only difference that you can expand that of the Samsung
Galaxy S II with microSD cards up to the value of 32GB. So,
effectively, you can store twice as much on it. With all those 1080p
videos and 8MP stills, you’ll probably find you need to.
Battery Life
- Tie: Galaxy S II
- 1650mAh
- Tie: iPhone 4
- 1420mAh, Up to 10 hours video
While
the Samsung Galaxy S II hasn’t gone on sale in the United States yet,
except via select private retailers, it has received significant
exposure in the UK and Europe. Actually, it’s currently sold out
virtually all across the UK, and in certain parts of Europe. Anyway, the
battery life of the Galaxy S II is absolutely excellent. In fact,
despite having an jaw-droppingly powerful dual core 1.2GHz processor,
the phone itself is smart to enough to drop down to as low as 200MHz,
and as such, is able to easily achieve a full days usage. This is even
with heavy browser usage, photo/video taking, and playing of apps and
games. The battery is definitely bigger than that of the iPhone 4, and
it does have that dual core CPU to run as well as a larger screen. All
the same, the Super AMOLED Plus display is incredibly power efficient
and that’s often where smartphones use up most of their supply. At the
end of the day, we have to say that the Galaxy S II’s battery life bests
that of Apple’s best, and only smartphone – the iPhone (4). Very
impressive indeed.
Display
- Tie: Galaxy S II
- 4.27-inch, 800x480px, Super AMOLED Plus
- Tie: iPhone 4
- 3.5-inch, 960x640px, LCD with IPS
The
Super AMOLED Plus is a significant step up from the straight Super
AMOLED of the first Galaxy. It brings with it a wider colour gamut,
superior contrast, sharper edges, much better outdoor visibility and
lower power consumption than any other screen on the market. In fact, so
proud is Samsung of this on the spec sheet that, if it all performs as
promised, it is likely to be better than the Retina Display of the
iPhone 4. However, we will have to reserve judgement until we get one in
our hands and have time to play with it in a variety of environments.
According to the numbers, and to what we know from our brief time with
it, it’s still a draw. Still, when you are able to stand up to a screen
like the Retina’s, you’re saying quite a bit.
Performance
- 1st: Galaxy S II
- 1GHz Tegra 2 dual core, 1GB RAM / 1.2GHz Dual Core Exynos chip, 1GB RAM
- 2nd: iPhone 4

Samsung
hasn’t been entirely forthcoming about the specifics of the hardware in
the Samsung Galaxy S II. There are disputing reports of what is inside,
and it appears that there will be two renditions of the phone itself
very soon. It’s clear however, that either set of specs are going to
absolutely blow the lid off the iPhone 4. The CPU runs just as fast but
is built for multitasking with the added core, plus the doubling of the
RAM, speaks for itself. What’s a little unclear is what’s going on
graphically. All the same, we know that the original Galaxy S had the
edge in that department over the iPhone, so it’s a pretty safe bet that
the second iteration will have blown Apple’s darling out of the water
this time around.
Imaging
- 1st: Galaxy S II
- 8MP rear, 2MP front, 1080p video capture
- 2nd: iPhone 4
- 5MP rear, VGA front, 720p video capture
Samsung
has really pulled out all the stops in designing and developing the
Samsung Galaxy S II. It has placed a quality 8MP stills camera on the
Galaxy S II complete with LED flash. This particular camera, can capture
Full HD video at 30fps whereas the iPhone can only manage 720p. To make
matters even better for the Galaxy S II, the front facing webcam is of
the kind of resolution that’s even hard to get embedded in modern day
laptops these days. If the software and connection are up to it, video
calls on the Samsung smartphone should look fantastic at the other end
too.
Connectivity
- 1st: Galaxy S II
- Wi-Fi, NFC, 4G, BT 3.0, DLNA, Wi-Fi tethering
- 2nd: iPhone 4
- Wi-Fi, BT 2.1, 3G

Samsung
seems to have opted for connectivity overkill in this case, but we
actually appreciate their approach. The Galaxy S II contains absolutely
everything a true connectivity junkie could ever hope for, and more.
Seriously impressive. There’s 4G – should you be able to use it – and
the latest version of Bluetooth designed to cut down the hassle of the
handshake initiation. Furthermore, there’s the upcoming NFC (Near Field
Communication) technology for when contactless payments via smartphones
become the mainstream.
It also features Samsung’s DLNA system
called All Share which will come in very handy when you want to view HD
content wirelessly from your phone onto a big screen TV. With Wi-Fi
tethering to your PC, it should make mobile connectivity a breeze.
Cables are so 2009. We would caution would be buyers of the Galaxy S II
to remain mindful of ever-present battery concerns however.
Price
- 1st: Galaxy S II
- Less than the iPhone 4
- 2nd: iPhone 4
- More than anyone else
While
we don’t know for sure how much the Samsung Galaxy S II will cost, we
are quite sure it will cost less than the iPhone 4. The iPhone has
always cost considerably more than any other smartphone on the market
and we see no reason why Samsung would choose to price things any other
way. We will have to keep you posted on this one, but it’s looking good
for Android Smartphone lovers everywhere. If you are looking for the

Conclusion
To
us, it’s pretty obvious the iPhone 4 has met its match. However, at
two-thirds of the way into its life cycle it isn’t exactly the most
‘fair’ comparison. The iPhone 5 is likely to have dual-core, and feature
improvements in nearly every notable department. The iPhone is an
excellent device, and was designed with the pursuit of perfection in
mind. Really though, the Samsung Galaxy S II beats it in nearly every
departments that count. The Galaxy S II is lighter, thinner,
significantly more powerful, and light years ahead of the iPhone 4 on
taking pictures and video, and has the most technologically
sophisticated 4.3 inch screen on the market. Delicious.
At the end
of the day, we can reflect on all of this as a statement from Samsung.
They are obviously very serious about being the best manufactuer/OEM of
mobile tech out there. This latest flagship smartphone from Samsung is a
mobile maven, in every way that matters. Incredible power, amazing
connectivity, svelte form factor, and fantastic media. Samsung has
obviously put everything it has into this one, and – on paper – it
shows. It is amazing how far we have come, and we can’t wait to get one.
Considering how good the original Galaxy S was, we expect it to deliver
in every way we have listed above.
