if you want a good phone out of the box, i suggest u to buy iphone 4

erm asking at android thread sure recommend you to go with sgs2

btw if you can wait just wait for iphone5 launch so you can compare ip5 with sgs2

@nasrulbond, i cant understand u

if u want a phone that works out of the box, then iphone.
if u wan a phone that is extremely customizable, then galaxy s2.

and then u'll ask why I can't do this or do that.......oh because it needs JAILBREAK. And then u'll ask why can't I copy my songs into the phone? oh because u need ITUNES installed on your PC. This happened to a lot of ppl who thought that liephone is easy to use "out of the box" but it's NOT true. iOS is just pathetic

whereas SGS2 is REALLY out of the box, u don't have to do anything to do ANY kind of stuff on it, just switch it on, log in to google account and go market to download what u need, that's it

Well sgsII is not a fair match for ip4. wait for either ip4s/ip5 announcing one the 4th next month(based on rumors)

For me as I'll be buying a new phone soon.
its either sgsII or prime if its launched

If you're talking about OS, then there's something to compare.
But performance wise, it's not even fair to compare a dual-core phone with a single core phone.

But in the end, it still depends on TS what phone you "feel" better with. Both have different sizes and dimensions, different functionality, and price.

It's not really that definitive to compare the mentioned as it's not really on the same level. Having said that, it's "fairer" to compare the iPhone5 with Galaxy S II or Galaxy Note.

I was torn apart from Samsung's Galaxy S II and Apple's iPhone4 (since iPhone5 is still in the horizon) but when it comes to technicality and functions, there's a vast differences.

Build: I must say iPhone4 due to the industrial design of glass and metal. The Galaxy S II has glass and the only drawback it suffers is the flimsy, thin back cover which is made of plastic. Personally, glass and metal is hard to resist and I must say iPhone4 is the winner. However, the Galaxy S II is more anorexic than the iPhone4.

Screen: HELL YEAH! This is utmost important as you'll be looking at the screen whenever you take out your mobile. Enough said. You want your eyes to be mesmerised by colour like those M&M candies, take the Galaxy S II. It sure looks bright and awesome! The iPhone4 has more pixel per inch but the colour is a little "natural" and you get a small packet of Tic-tacs instead. Depends on personal preference. I, myself, would say Galaxy S II is the winner but then again, that's just me.

Oh, Galaxy S II gives you a bigger screen. 4.3" of bright, coloured wonders.

Processor: Samsung's 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor takes home the crown. Nothing much to be added.

Camera: Forget about Facetime. 8 Megapixel versus 5 Megapixel. Galaxy S II has one hell of a functionalities when it comes to camera. LED flash is not much in reality but it's an added value, nevertheless.

It's September right now and inevitably the iPhone4's successor will come when the time comes. The question is, are you willing to wait? Time and tide waits for no one and when the time comes, it would be iPhone5 versus Galaxy Note.

When it happens, it'll be back to square one and you'll be creating another thread in similarities to this one and that's where the whole wide world will be on a déjà vu experience like in the past, present and future.

just buy galaxy S 2 if u want a new phone NOW.

The pixels on the screen is a laughable thing here.
When the screen is so small, human eyes can't tell how sharp it's.

Well said. May I add a little here?

1. The resolution of the retina is in angular measure - it's 50 Cycles Per Degree. A cycle is a line pair, which is two pixels, so the angular resolution of the eye is 0.6 arc minutes per pixel.

2. So, if you hold an iPhone at the typical 12 inches from your eyes that works out to 477 pixels per inch. At 8 inches it's 716 ppi. You have to hold it out 18 inches before it falls to 318 ppi.

So the iPhone has significantly lower resolution than the retina. It actually needs a resolution significantly higher than the retina in order to deliver an image that appears perfect to the retina.

WOW... 3.5 inches retina display better than 4.3 super amoled plus?

its not true. bcos of the size of the screen, it becomes a draw.

its exynos, not qualcomm

so is a draw but u give "ip4 [2] - sgs2 [1]"
well, is a "draw" indeed.

Added on September 24, 2011, 4:16 pmhave the same thought too.

i wonder did they even ask those previous iphone users who are using SGS 2 users now about the differences.

But, do you even compare an iPhone 4 vs a SGS II? According to human eyes, we can only see the pixels if our eyes are 2 cm+- to the display.
You tell a laymen without knowledge, and ask him which one is sharper.

I can tell you, you won't get the correct answer.
