You might have already heard all about the iPhone 4. Apple junkies and many industry people paid attention to it, Steve Jobs proudly presented the newest creation of his at WWDC 2010 (Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2010) on June 7. And we can assume that Samsung is one who observed Steve's presentation the most closely and not only because Samsung supplied many parts for the iPhone 4. In competition with Apple, Samsung announced their brand new product, Galaxy S. Needless to say, it will be a fierce competitive race. And all we want to know is which one is smarter Here are the comparisons between Galaxy S and iPhone 4.

iPhone 4
"The biggest leap in iPhone history," iPhone 4

 

Since, Steve Jobs described his new creation as "The biggest leap in iPhone history." I wonder how many technical innovations have been made from iPhone 3G Well, let's start with the look. The new iPhone is not round and cute, but it sure looks sleek and chic.

iPhone 4 has become 24 percent slimmer than the previous model and has scratch-proof optical glass and a stainless steel band around its edge which acts like an antenna. It is for preventing disruptions from disturbed reception. Also, it has volume controls on the side of the phone along with an accessible microSIM tray. Considering battery life, the iPhone 4 is less than Galaxy S, with up to seven hours of talk time. Apple claimed theirs is the longest, but apparently Galaxy S has 7.8 hours of talk.

Anyway with the long hours of talk, users can enjoy Apple's Face video calling service with a dual camera of 5 megapixels. However, it works only between iPhone 4 users and will be operable particularly in Wi-Fi areas.

According to Steve Jobs, the camera increases the amount of light captured by the sensor and results in better photographs, even in low-light situations. Plus, HD video is recordable at 720p, 30 frames per second, editable, able to be set to music, cut and sent with the camera.

The iPhone 4 has a small display in comparison to the Android phones, 3.5-inch LED display, but the quality of the screen is greater with 340X640 pixel resolution. So apparently there is one thing that has certainly been upgraded. It runs on the iOS 4.0 or OS 4.0 while Galaxy has Android 2.1.

The strongest features of all, iPhone 4 is excellent at downloading all 200 thousand applications. And users can enjoy multiple functions at once without going in and out of applications. In terms of cost, iPhone 4 G is the basic $199 model coming with 16GB of built-in storage. The colors are black and white and it will be on the market from June 24 in the U.S.

Galaxy S
"Masterpiece of smart phones," Galaxy S

 

Samsung proudly introduced Galaxy S to compete with iPhone 4.  First, the masterpiece of Smartphone as Samsung refers to it as, looks like iPhone 4, there is nothing really captivating about its look. 4-inch super AMOLED screen, 1GHz processor and advanced location-based service. How about the functions then It runs on the Android 2.1 operation system and soon the Android 2.2 operating system will be available to upgrade to. It weights at only 121 grams which is lighter than iPhone 4, at 137g. The battery is removable unlike the built-in battery of iPhone 4 and lasts longer during stand by time, 490 hours (iPhone's stand by time is 300 hours).

The 5 mega pixel camera as same as iPhone 4 and measures at 64.2X122.4X9.9mm and it has HD video playback and recording.  It also has great codec support and is capable of playing MP3, WAV, eAAC+, AC3 and FLAC audio files and MP4, DivX, WMV, H.264 and H.263 video files and WiFi 802.11b/g/n connectivity,. The camera application has all the attractive features including autofocus, geo-tagging, touch focus and face and smile detection. However, it has only 57,000 applications which is certainly the weak area Samsung needs to fight for with iPhone. Still the Android OS integrates Google apps such as e-mail, SMS and MMS are supported.  The phone can view and edit documents in Microsoft Office 2007. Thus, a social Hub feature offers quick access to social-networking.

Samsung announced that they are going to release Galaxy S in 110 nations over the world at the same time. This is showing the great confidence of Samsung as well as the company's ambition that will rule the world of Smartphone and Samsung plans to lead the popularization of Smartphone regardless of the price or life style of the region. Samsung have made contracts with major telecommunication companies from 110 countries, so far and the preorder has reached 1 million already.

iPhone 4 and Galaxy S are definitely the Smartphones to watch and it seems like both have great functions but nothing is for sure until users, indeed purchasers, agree.
