Q. Ok people... I just need help choosing one. The one with the most votes will be the one I choose. I heard they're both great phones, but I've been breaking my head because I really don't know which one to get. I've been switching phones a lot so I'd like to stick with one for a while. Help me!!!!
A. The Galaxy S II is one of the thinnest Androids out there, measuring 5.11 x 2.71 x .37 (all inches, HxWxD) and weighing in at 4.77 ounces. The new iPhone, on the other hand, measures in at 4.5 x 2.31 x .37 (all inches, HxWxD) and weighs 4.9 ounces They both come in white and black options, but the iPhone 4S does sport a premium finish with a glass front and back, while the Samsung Galaxy S II has a very thin and sort of flimsy plastic rear case�but this is what makes it so light, so it�s not necessarily such a flaw.
The Galaxy S II has a larger screen than the iPhone coming in at 4.52 inches compared to 3.5 inches (but remember that the S II is lighter). So the iPhone 4S boasts a 640�960 resolution, creating a pixel density of 326ppi, while the Galaxy S II has a bright AMOLED display but it has 480�800 resolution, which means it has a pixel density of 216ppi. Looks like the iPhone wins here, but really, both are awesome touchscreen displays.
Obviously, the iPhone 4S runs on IOS 5 and the Galaxy S II on Android. But all the hoopla with the new iPhone was about a new operating system and the latest version is touted as the �world�s most advanced mobile operating system,� as well as the easiest to use. New features with the upgrade include: notification center, iMessage, Twitter integration, reminders, camera enhancements, better photo editing options, PC free, Safari, Newsstand and Siri, the voice control feature that everybody�s taking about. The Multi-Touch interface in the new OS is easier since it was �designed for your finer,� making it finger friendly. But it still lacks flash support, which is a major downer!
The Samsung Galaxy S II runs Google�s Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS with its own Touchwiz interface. It�s claimed to be �more refined and polished,� which basically means a more intuitive user interface.
The iPhone 4S has received a processor upgrade, which is an A5 dual-core chip, clocked in at 800MHz and Apple says you�ll notice the upgrade with it�s faster responses that make all the difference when you�re launching apps, on the web and doing everything else you do on your smartphone these days. And because the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life (but more on that later).
Since the Galaxy S II has a wider screen, it was given a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 Processor with 1.5 GHz dual-core CPUs so that it wouldn�t freeze while running multiple apps.
Storage is worth a quick mention with a new maximum capacity of 64GB available on the Iphone 4S. The Galaxy S II maxes out with just 16GB, and but it does redeem itself with the inclusion of a microSD card slot that can take a further 32GB, adding more storage for those who like to keep everything on their smartphones. This totals 48GB, so comes but it still comes in short of only 16GB of its rival.
They are both world phones, so globetrotters will be satisfied with both. The Galaxy S II is built and engineered to run on 4G networks, making it super fast, which means no waiting even when you have tons of apps open. Thanks to AllShare, you can also wirelessly share and stream videos, photos and music between your phone and TV, laptop and audio system. With a 4G connection you get up to 42 Mbps down speed and it�s Bluetooth 3.0 compatible.
The iPhone 4S also has WiFi abilities thanks to AirPrint and AirPlay, which allows you to print wirelessly and wirelessly stream what�s on your phone to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. It also boasts faster connections since Apple says that the new phone is the first to intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive, making call quality better.
Other than Sira, the other significant iPhone 4S upgrade is its rear-facing camera, which has been bumped up to 8MP from 5MP, and it also has a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. But the Galaxy S II 8MP camera matches that of the new iPhone 4S, making them even in this category. The details continue to be the same across the board with an LED flash, auto focus and digital zoom. The two are neck-to-neck on video abilities, too, with HD 1080p at 30fps. Both also come with software for photo and video editing.
Apple placed a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery in their new iPhone, with a talk time of up to 8 hours on 3G. Standby time is up to 200 hours, while Internet use is up to 6 hours on 3G and up to 9 on Wi-Fi. Video playback is up to 10 hours and audio playback is up to 40 hours.
Samsung added a rechargeable 1850 mAh lithium-ion battery with talk time pretty much the same with the iPhone so expect 8 hours to be the maximum.

Help Is Needed,People !!!:)))?
Q. Ok.so according to my rules in my parents house...I can't get a phone til I turn 16..& I'm not no where near that(13)and I'm wandering is there a small technical device that is worth it with a QWERTY KEYBOARD !!! It MUST have that !!! Where I can use the benefits of texting w/ app..camera..app store & such like a iPod touch or samsung galaxy player...uhhh...5in and below..thanks :)!
A. Look for ZTE or other Chinese phones, they have phones with the characteristics you're looking for at very low prices, you know, in case they take it away from you it wouldn't be too much of a lost.
Does 2g/3g affects call quality?
Q. I'm planning to buy a new phone I cant decide
Im more of texting and calling I don't browse the web on my phone over 3g just WiFi
Should I get the corby II thats 2g only or the nokia asha 302 that's 3.5G
Should I consider the "3.5G" in nokia or is it fine to just get the corby which is 2g ?
Does being 2g affect the call quality or stuff like that?
A. Hi, I was a Nokia user. So if you're comparing just the specs on these two phones.
I'd say, choose the Nokia. Even though you may have not really need smart features on your phone, it doesn't hurt to have some decent specs on your phone, as this ensures that your phone van keep up to new tech features, just in case, you decided to look into them.
Call quality should not differ much between 2G or 3G. It is usually affected by the relevant network coverage, that your phone is latching on to.
In other words, the stronger the network coverage in your area and the other party's area, the better call quality it will be.
Having said that, do note, that generally, 3G consumes more battery power, compared to
2G.
So, you may consider the Nokia 302, for better features, faster network connectivity, full QWERTY keypad (some finds this easier to type), etc.
But honestly, there are better choices out there. The Samsung Mini, Galaxy W, Galaxy Advance, Galaxy Ace II. ARE in fact, better choices, that you could look into as well.
Hope this answers your questions, cheers! :)
How to proper use and charge android phone?
Q. How to charge my samsung galaxy ace.
1. Is is ok to charge every time when the level low, for example less than 50%, and charge it till full? A friend of mine usually do this. He charged his phone when:
i) it is less than half
ii) have the chance to do so
and sometime disconnect the charger even it is not complete to go somewhere else. The benefit is he rarely in the trouble of dead phone. But how does this affect the battery performance and lifespan?
2. Charging is better by turning off or on?
3. Lets say i play music or WIFI, and the battery is low. Can I connect with the charger and continue to play the music and make calls without disconnecting the charger? How does it affects the battery as we are charging and discharging at the same time?
4. Does the lifespan of the battery will be reduced if I charged overnight frequently?
5. The usual standard time for charging? 3-4 hours perhaps?
6. Is it ok if I charge it halfway and use it (disconnect) for several hours and charging again?
7. Some say we should use or drain up the battery before charging and let it full before use. However some say do not let the battery totally used and drained up until the phone is dead itself. We should charge it when it is left around 10 - 20% or when connect to charger sign appear. So which one?
8. Does apps like android booster or juice defender really helps?
9. I could not use my headset since buying the phone a few weeks ago. Is it the phone's fault or probably the headset was changed by the seller into 3rd party ones so that they can sell the original ones separately with higher prices? my headset have a sticker "made in vietnam". Is this the original one or had been changed? If he really does it, How could that be as the seller is an authorized dealer of samsung? What can i do about it? I am asking this because there are some sellers done this, for example exchanging the battery with the fake or cheap ones so that they can sell the original ones separately with higher prices.
Hopefully anyone can answer in details and give what are the effects if i do this, or that just like the questions above. I have post this before, but in wrong category and less details. Hope that in this category and with the edited details I can get the right and better answer.
p/s-can the answer or opinion given can be apply to other items such as laptops, handhelds, tablets, DSLRs, etc as they are using standard lithium ion batt? Or does those thing have different systems and requirements, which some of it can be apply. For example laptops, which some people usually continuosly connect it with a charger especially when in the office. Some suggest that in order to 'preserve' the batt, we should not use it at all. i.e. just directly plug it at the outlet w/out the batt, and only use the batt when there is no outlet available. By right what I've heard is that we should charged it when it is necessary and use the battery complete the charging-discharging cycles normally. So anyone could comment on this? Thank you
A. 1) Of course its ok to charge your phone every time the level is low - that's really what charging the battery is for, you know.
I have an android phone and I charge it whenever I get the chance to, even if its on 80% still, because the battery life on androids can be really unpredictable sometimes.
And disconnecting the charger when incomplete doesn't affect anything apart from how much battery life your phone currently has.
2) If you are initially charging your phone up to 100%, then it shouldnt matter whether this is done on or off.
3) Yes, you can connect with the charger and continue to play music and make calls without disconnecting the charger.
It shouldn't affect the battery too much, but it may slow down how long it takes for the battery to charge up.
4) Does the lifespan of the battery will be reduced if charged overnight frequently?
Well, I'm not too sure if that's true or not with phones.
I've heard that, under normal circumstances, a fast charge, rather than a slow overnight charge, will shorten battery lifespan. However, if there is something wrong with the overnight charge and it cant detect when the battery is fully charged, then overcharging is likely to occur, which also damages the battery.
So it really depends or your phone (and the type of battery maybe)
5) + 6) The best standard time for charging is until the battery reaches 100%. Don't charge in short hours/periods of time or only halfway as it could shorten the battery lifespan.
It's best to just leave your phone charging, say if you're at home and not really using it, leave it on the charger and check on the phone whenever you need it or think its fully charged.
7) Don't always wait for the phone to get to 10% before you decide to charge it, as you may become out of battery when you really need it most. Charge it whenever you have the chance, even if it's on 50% or 60 or even 80%
8) There are many battery booster apps like these which i heard work really well, as long as you know how to use them well - please not, these apps dont necessary increase your battery life: they save it by turning off unused applications and other things which drain battery life, or such.
I would also suggest you use an "advanced task killer" app as well, if you're not happy with the batter boosters.
9) Headsets/earphones/headphones/whatever you mean, tend to do that a lot. if you bought your phone from a place like eBay or such, then the whole 3rd party thing may be true, which it probably isn't.
And 'made in vietnam' just means what it says: it was made in vietnam. Just as it could have been 'made in china' or 'made in germany'.
Your headset may just have a problem (probs not the phones fault), and it may start working again soon (as this tends to be the case sometimes), but if not, just buy a new one. Or wait for it to work. Or get it fixed. This isn't something to get worked up over really. I personally have never had earphones/headsets that have worked for longer than two months, (apart from my Samsung earphones which lasted for nearly a year, but then got crushed in my bag so don't work anymore..)
I hope that i've been able to help you a bit!
