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.

personal preference over the design. but in terms of premium materials used, ip4 wins.
ip4 [1] - sgs2 [0]


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.

retina display wins with much sharper text and natural colors. samoled+ is highly saturated but very cartoonish. however screen size is larger. draw.
ip4 [2] - sgs2 [1]


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

no compare. dual core eats more battery and more heat. better to compare interface smoothness. in this case, iOS wins on fluidity while android is simply no match. even with duo-core, some lagginess happens quite often. ip4 wins.
ip4 [3] - sgs2 [1]


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.

despite higher megapixels, camera quality is almost equal. but sgs2 can take fullhd videos. sgs2 wins
ip4 [3] - sgs2 [2]


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.

so its a close win for ip4 despite being one year behind product. expect the ip5 to blow sgs2 out of water.

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

1st question ... similan are you kentanggoreng?
2nd... ip4 tend to pk SGS... not SGS II! No doubts sgs II pawn ip4 easily... this the fact..take it or leave it smile.gif
3rd... dual core eat more battery? basically u r noob in technology... go google... dual core vs single core in battery consumption... doh.gif opps... forgot to add another point for SGSII there is a 2000mAh battery for sgs 2~
p/s: Im leaving this post, im not gonna argue with this kentanggorreng 2.0~ as we all know he is an Apple's shoe licker...

1) sorry, dun understand this question.

2) sgs is reaction to iphone 3g. sgs2 is designed to counter ip4, but as the scores turn out, a 1 year old apple design still wins samsung latest and greatest.

3) if apple uses dual-core, it will be done properly and energy efficient. look at ipad2.
reason is simple.
that is bcos apple designed both hardware and software so it works perfectly.
unfortunately, android is copied from iOS but it wasn't done right.
And so it becomes very cumbersome, prone to lags and crashes.
Therefore android needs powerful hardware to achieve half the things iOS can achieve.
So heat and battey issues are the things droidfags get butthurt easily.

Android had been improved recently but still is far behind apple technology.

pls accept the facts.

I often fascinated by these talks about “tons of apps”. So how many of these supposedly 400,000+ apps did most iphone user generally install? 10? 20? 30? 40? Surely nobody is going to install 400,000 apps or let alone 500 apps. So does it really matter how many thousand there are? Heck, by that reckoning, even Nokia’s apps are more than sufficient.
But rather what I think is even more important than numbers is the quality of the apps. What I am interested to know is, are Apple’s app of better quality than Andriod and Nokia?

apple app store is by far, much higher quality and safer than android market.

due to open nature of android, security is weak and prone to virus & malware.
while a small number of ppl will complain against the lack of "customization" in iOS, but they forget that they can worry less abt stolen data and loss of money.

due to the high popularity and systematic approach of apple app store, many developers choose it to focus their creative talent and energy. therefore most great apps and games firstly came out for iOS before they are ported to other platforms. for example, angry birds.

android apps can only earn money effectively by in-game advertising.

furthermore, developers find it frustrating that many (not all) android users have no respect for intellectual property and prefer to use pirated stuff. the open nature of android also makes its apps easy to pirate.

so, it is natural that apple has the best selection of apps available.

for those who misunderstand, i am not anti-android. in fact, i have bought galaxy s, s2, sensation, evo 3d and optimus 3d before.

dual core vs single core

you decide
*
u r missing the point entirely.
today, even with million cores, android will not be as silky smooth and lag-free like iOS.

apple has the technological edge because they make both software/hardware. both are working perfectly with each other to produce the best touch experience that nobody else in the mobile business can match.

until now, android still suffers from lagginess and performance stutters from time to time.
of course with dual-cores, it is better but at the expense of short battery life and extreme heat.

when i played games like asphalt on the sgs2, the heat generated from the phone is tremendous and affected my gameplay because i had to adjust my holding position from time to time.
sometimes while waiting for lrt, i do not dare to play too much games with sgs2 bcos scared the battery will run out before reaching home. sad.gif

i was so fed up to install all the latest firmwares (with hope to increase battery life/performance/bug fixes) which is released like every 2 weeks or so.
in the end, thankfully i managed to get rid of the sgs2.


while for the iphone4, the gameplay is a dream with barely noticeable heat and precise gyroscope movements.
it may not be the phone that EVERYBODY wants, but considering all factors, it is the BEST for me.

so TS, that...is my humble opinion.

cheers android fans.
