the graphics is good, the video is a waste of time and is ugly , but the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
what is the point anyway of comparing a new generation phone with an old generation one? the comparer himself suspects the new gen is not that advanced and is trying to assure himself this new gen is worth the hype?
Just want to spread it around, make others see that iPhone isnt`t that great. Hehe

come on, it is GREAT for the people that buy it (and it is a lot of people, and many smart people too). enjoy your Android as it is obviously great for you. not everyone wants and likes the same thing. why start another war or flame war?

Exactly! People who compares these two phones - Android fans or Samy fans and show to all Apple fans how the GS2 blows away Iphone 4 even don't realize that comparison like this is a really big compliment for Iphone 4. Every an year old phone would be proud to be compared to the most powerful phone released a few days ago.
To be fair, I've just moved from an IP4 to a GS2, and the iPhone was an excellent device.
Just too many limitations on it.
Granted, android "just works", but iOS, for most people is pretty good. iTunes is a bag of ****, and I fully hate it, but the iPhone is more than just a fanboy toy.
Not getting rid of my GS2 anytime soon though, love it!!

O2? they are pretty slow to respond, which I'm sure is one of the rocks characteristics?
What is it with this ridiculous "fanboism"?
What is the point in comparing this year phone with last year phone?
What is the point to complain on iPhone, that it doesn't have this or that...
I will never understand it...
Ugh, I really hate these fanboy apple vs android wars. Like style34 said, this comparison is a big compliment for the iPhone 4 (and I think it deserves it).
I'm looking forward to the iPhone 5 and I'm really wondering how the SGS2 would hold up against that one.
I've never had an iPhone myself as I've always preferred an Android device. However, I've never denied that Apple makes good products.
Same here though. I hate flame wars, no reason to convince fanboys. That's why I rarely go to Engadget anymore.
Granted, some pics I find pretty funny either way.

Yes, comparing the SG2 to the iPhone 4 in every thread is the worst possible comparison.
The phones a year old, it should be compared to the iPhone 5.
Although I am still certain the SG2 will be a much better phone anyway, its meant to be SGS2 v iPhone 5.
BOL next year iPhone 6, oh wait...
I thought the iPhone 4 had gorilla glass? :S

Its not a compliment. People just compare it to the iphone 4 because that is the current flagship of iOS, androids biggest competitor.

Hi all,
Just a simple question
When SGS2 gets ICS, will it beat Galaxy Nexus?
Please share ur thoughts
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I imagine it will take it down a dark alley and slap it around a bit yes....
apart from that, no idea what you are getting at
Yes. Lower res screen, better video and better cpu. Simple as that. I would like a HD screen tho'..
S2 has a better screen, faster processor and SD card expansion slot. It will be better with ICS IMO.
Ofcoz it will!!!
Its GPU is already better, and it has to render less pixels, so it will surely beat it.
depends what you mean by "beat it"
does it really matter though? will you stop enjoying your phone if it is no longer seen as top dog?

Graphics performance-wise - the SGSII will blow the Nexus away. CPU wise, the Nexus has a slightly better processor (more memory bandwidth). Go read about it on the Galaxy Nexus forum in general. Nexus actually does have a slightly better CPU

Yup, if you're the type of person that gets their enjoyment out of being a show off.
Normal people supposedly bought the SGS2 because it fit their needs, how would the Galaxy Nexus make the Galaxy S2 less worthwhile of you? Unless of course, your goal is to have the latest and greatest, in which you should just wait and see which will be better and if the Nexus is better, pay some money and switch.
And I have to laugh at all the SGS2 owners in here defiantly saying the Galaxy Nexus has a poorer screen... sure the Nexus has a PenTile arrangement which on the face of it is a disappointment, but I'd personally wait until I see a Galaxy Nexus in person before passing judgement.
I did and it does not have gradient issue of sgs2 (actually all super amoled plus models, including infuse, i tried not just ours). Nuf said!
That does not mean I'm switching, in fact, no hell!
But screen on sgn is much better, you gotta give them that. Well you don't have to but it's the truth.

Can't agree more, sometimes we tend to rush to judge things too quickly.
And on topic, I do think the SGS2 will be awesome with ICS. Awesome enough to make 90% of SGS2 owners not feel like they need to switch. Think they'll generally still be on the same tier.

No matter which way you put it, the cpu slaps the nexus cpu around and it shows. Played with one today. Also, the screen is better on sgs2. Not hating, just disappointed
It already beats the nexus in terms of hardware and just about everything else... the nexus just has 4G of which isn't even useful to 99% of the world (no ssrsly). Oh and ICS... which isn't that big of a deal at all.

Do you know anything about either phones, let alone spelling? If you put an 'a' in definitely then you're definitely an a-hole.
P.S. http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3621&idPhone2=4219
The SGS2 beats the Nexus in almost everything... :/
Nexus:
No MicroSD
Only 5MP Camera
Only 1.3MP Secondary Camera
No Radio (this is a big letdown to some)
Half as much 'quoted' talk time when compared to the SGS2.
No Gorilla Glass????
Overpriced (given the above)
SGS2:
No 4G
No ICS (Yet)
Hardly an 'Upgrade' from the SGS2.. ICS isn't that much better than Gingerbread. On top of that who really needs 4G?
But hey, don't take it from me, I don't know crap all about the Nexus. Though I do know my own SGS2 inside out.
I agree with 'soraxd' the SGS3 is going to tear the newest iPhone (lol what a joke) to shreds and absolutely squash any hopes of any manufacturer getting even close.
Believe it lol!

I wish I could have as many phones as you.. What do you even need all 3 phones for
Two phones that have a solid user base tingling around it.
1) Samsung Galaxy S III
2) Iphone 5
Who do you think will win the race based on your expectations with both the brands ? Give reasons if possible.
GS3
-Because it is android.
I agree but don't you think the holographic features are just too awesome?
"Ever wondered why??"
I see some stupid posts going around, but this is up there with the most stupid of them. Neither of these phones exist, we know nothing about them, and this is the Android subsection.
I guess that is why I asked about the personal opinion of people who have experience with both Samsung and iPhone phones... and what the people expect from both the brands...
"Ever wondered why??"
I like neither 'cuz I can't see, I can't feel, I can't touch and more important, I can't test them 2 yet. Therefore, saying I like this over that is just pre-matured childish act.

iPhone has far better build quality then any android phone. If you want your phone to actually get timely updates then you have to get a Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus, which really restricts your "choice" to 2 phones. Meanwhile a 3yr old iPhone 3GS gets iOS 5 day 1 and still runs smoother than most android phones with 5x better hardware.

My SGS2 get updates continously, no problem there.
Of course new major releases like ICS takes 3-4 months from google/nexus release to release for other phones but that is simply part of the business model. And it is in fact mainly positive, because it gives plenty of time for developers to adapt apps for the new major version before average Joe gets the update.
Why would it be better if Google delayed Nexus ICS just to give Samsung/HTC etc time to adapt it to their phones?
Nexus and sgs2 have a good history of successful updates of Android series...

For my own expectation? Oh, sure, very high

Is it too much to expect?

GS3 because it absolutely needs to be. iPhone 5 can rely on the name and not the hardware.
i want all of your opinions on whether or not trade my iphone 4. unloackable for the galaxy NOTE.. can you tell me how long does the battery last on your phone and if it is worth to trade it
thanks
I used to carry both an iphone and an Android phone. After getting the note, I sold my iphone and use android full time.
the battery life is fine. if you are a heavy user, carry a spare battery.
I just switched from an iPhone 4 to the Note about 2 weeks ago. I have absolutely no regrets switching. I have always had an iPhone from the first one in 2007 up until 2 weeks ago and never saw myself switching because of how the build quality of apple and smoothness of iOS was. When I used a note for the first time it blew me away the progress that android has made over the years. While I still don't think the overall build quality of this phone is iPhone status everything else is better. As far as battery goes, unless you plan on trying to go multiple days without charging then it is a non issue. It gets through a day just fine. I will say the battery life does drop faster than my iPhones did but there's really no difference to me as the note gets me through the day with plenty to spare and I charge it every night anyway. Once you get a Note you'll wonder why you used such a small screen before.
I know the screen is really small on iphone .. I used the htc titan before .. N i am thinking of trading it . For a Note but im still in doubt .. Since i am with tmobile . The internet might be the same unless i put the hack to get 4G ..
Is the camera good on the note ?

the camera is brilliant.....great pics. i take pictures and can zoom in on the smallest details of that pic and see it clearly.
The battery life won't be quite as good add your iPhone, but it will still last you through a full day. I can pull about 16 hours total with 4 hours of screen time on a charge, but I try not to look at my phone for 25% of the day anyways. The screen will make you laugh at your iPhone. The iPhone has slightly higher pixel density, but once you go Super AMOLED HD, you won't go back. The SPen also brings more usefulness than you would think. Also, with Android, even without rooting and ROMing, you can still use rings of different kings of launchers, change how your icons look, use different keyboards, and perhaps the oldest argument, view flash content.
Don't get me wrong, I like the design of iPhones, minus the small screen, and their software does run smoothly, but after 3 Android phones there is no way I could go back. IPhones are just too limited for my tastes. With my 3g, I felt like I had a nice phone that could play some cool games. With my Note, I feel like I'm carrying with a tiny computer with limitless tools at my disposal. I also like when other people pick up my phone and have no clue how to use it, but it is still way more streamlined for my own personal use than an iPhone would be.
With Android you decide how you use your phone, not Apple.

I was a die hard apple zombie.. I once believed like all others that apple would cure world hunger. I traded my iphone 4 for a Motorola artrix then a international galaxy s2 then a skyrocket and now a galaxy note.. I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE..

There are a lot of Note users that came from the iPhone. I havent seen any regrets so far. I too came from the iPhone 4 to the Original GS2 then skyrocket...then the Note. It just got better everytime. Some iPhone users are way too stubborn to switch but I rather have choices than to "accept" what they give me.

i chickened out on getting the note when i saw the size in person..im a iphone user 4 years and omg the iphone is so small i cant go back to it too small..youll get use to the size of the note..not really pocket friendly but depends on person to person..as for battery give it time to cycle and it will improve..but battery life depends on settings/use/rooted ect.. i love my note but sadly i have another pixel issuse so this one is going back to hopeful get another one with no pixel problems.. only thing i dont like is the camera speed capture its slow for me..battery could have been a 3000mah to give it a bit extra use..sometimes it lags depends how much ram your using and crash some apps could be bugs.. im stock GB..waiting for ICS real one..dont want to install root stuff right now
i switched from iphone to and i love my note will never go back to apple. my batt life is equal to my iphone so no complaints

The litigation involves mostly hardware patent infringements. It is not a IOS/Android battle.
Patents everywhere
Sinca I woke up 3 hours ago, I already violated 13 patents of apple, haha, the new slogan instead of "We have an app for that" should be, "we have a patent for that" haha
No, seriously, this wont affect android users (most of us) because samsung was (according to apple) using therir desings, not the patents of software and hadrware, in this case, apple has more to loose, because samsung develop the retina display, and the judge said that apple should be more open to release their patents to the other companies, and give them the privilege to use them at low cost, so the end consumer wont be affected.:highfive:
I think there will be change to those parts/technologies which samsung provides for iphone like camera n chip...
Samsung makes 26% of the iPhone 4's components, says infographic
Samsung was treated very unfair by those corrupted judges, justice and power does have a price in Apple Mac country.

"I realized that's a big deal if Samsung can't sell those phones," Ilagan said. "But I'm sure Samsung can recover and do their own designs. There are other ways to design a phone. What was happening was that the appearance [of Samsung's phone] was their downfall. You copied the appearance.... Nokia is still selling phones. BlackBerry is selling phones. Those phones aren't infringing. There are alternatives out there."
Yeah samsing is a copy cat...but!!! Standard android doesnt have apple patents.
So stay calm because android will not change
..only samsung touch wiz
To be honest I do not find the iphone and samsung to be that much similar at all. I don't know what the judges might have been seeing
Samsung tab was like ipad...samsung galaxy ace was identicly.with iphone 4

Samsung has/had alot of phones that softare and how they look
Was like products.from apple
Geeks like us knows how to differentiate between Samsung's and iPhone but many people out there can't. Samsung should know better to see this coming, since Apple being Apple. Sony can design creatively but why can't Samsung?

Sorry but the galaxy s and galaxy s2 were iPhone rip offs. Even touchwiz is an imitation of ios.
I for one I'm glad of the verdict. Any company who would so shamelessly copy the designs and presentations of another should be punished. For me the $1 billion isn't even enough.
I'm no fanboy and I would love nothing more than to see the downfall of Apple but Samsung's shamelessness deserved to be punished. The irony of it is that what they have been punished for doing is the very thing their users hated most about the galaxy line.
Who knows without all the iPhone imitation nonsense, I might even be a galaxy s user now and I know they're many others who feel the same way.
Hopefully Samsung will come from their own heart with the gs4 and produce something I could actually want to own and finally.... Yes finally leave Sony to it once and for all.

The title is misleading and the contents is ....
Another pointless thread.

Dollar signs $.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I read somewhere that apple even ask samsung to pay ip licenses for their wp7 device.
So even if android does infringe apple patern,there's no where else for OEM to run too.

If you look at design of all smartphones than you can see that they are very similar....and about iphone iv heard that almost all chips for it are made by samsung......
BTW iv found on youtube couple of videos from some geek who is saying why android is better than iphone and in almost all aspect is way better, and after watching this videos iv realized that iphone is really crap ....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMiY1kSTHZw This is a part 1/5 look all parts its really interesting
The real scare here is that people still go to pretend internet war against whole corporations in the name of "Loyalty FTW" or some similar, equally embarrassing variant.

I was a Iphone USER and belive me Apple MAC software is 10 levels over android, it never gives u an error it work smooth 100% of all the time and PLUS the waranty is superb, for example I had a little problem with my Iphone (at the button) and they gived me another one, and at my SONY sadly i have the yellow spot problem and they told me that they can't repair it and I have to pay 250 euro. :\
So those videos are just made by fans that want to show that Android is above Apple. but it isn't like this. Same with the flash all of users said that android has flash and that' s why is better ...GUESS What in Jelly Bean there is no FLASH ! After all Apple was right with flash. There are many reasons.. but samsung made identical products...even GOOGLE told Samsung to make other designs, and even the Samsung Design Chief said that is sad that samsung products looks like Apple products, but that what to lead board wants. They even copy the showroom

I like to be an INDIVIDUAL human, not to be like others, that's why I buyed SOny Xperia S, I'm also a Sony Fan, but the reason was that I know that not alot of ppl will buy Sony(and I never seen a person with Xperia S).
Well it isn't just the hardware it seems. Check this out

you know what you just did is equal to going to the Braves stadium and asking which team you should cheer for.... G2!
I'm gonna get both. But if you wanna pick one, pick the one with the same OS as your current phone. If I had to choose I'll always go for the iPhone.
iOS imo is a much much better OS

I've been android user for 4 years and yoy get to the point where you want to try something new for once but the g2 has great hardware that makes me want to go for it ! But not a big fan of the lg interface though. In the other hand , the iPhone 5s doesn't have that nice hardware but I'm liking iOS 7 . Both are great phone but in that " ohh crap which one should I get " mode lol. Anyone that had the g2 , can you tell me how your experience is going with the phone ? Is gaming going great ? Lag/stutter?

Gaming on G2 is awesome, runs N64 emulator np unlike my S4 which would have problems

Apart from the screen the 5S is either better or equal to G2, check the benchmarks

Apples to oranges. Do you want a touchscreen jitterbug device or an Android based smartphone? That's what it comes down to at the end of the day. How about you go to the store, play with both, and come back and tell us what you chose and why.

Meaningless comparison/data. Actually using both and buying based on one's particular usage is the only comparison that matters.
Totally different devices and experiences. I don't think anyone should try to compare the two. First choose Android or iOS then decide from there. That said ...
http://www.stuff.tv/apple/apple-iphone-5s-vs-lg-g2/feature
you coudl get a good phone, like the G2
or you could get the iphone, aka baby's first smartphone
I don't know about posting in a G2 forum because the majority of people here are going to say G2.
That being said I have an iPad for Apple stuff and my G2 for everything else. Even though people are a little apprehensive about the LG UI it does grow on you (I was a big Nova launcher user). It really depends on how you use your phone.

Go with the iPhone 5s. That phone is pretty cool like the other side of the pillow.

Thanks everyone ! I'm leaning more towards the g2 , hopefully that stays there lol ! Also , I hope LG updates their phones !
Ya got a lotta moxie posting that here, kid!
But seriously, I entertained the iPhone 5S as well. I don't want a smaller screen, though. And while I'm not addicted to flashing and modding my phone, I would like to have that option. If LG lags with updates, I can just grab a ROM from the community here.
Go get the 4s update to ios7 and save $200 its the same thing. People got to understand its not hard to make a phone benchmark high, its also easy to make an iturd look fast because it does absolutely nothing, all it has to do is render a few small icons on a little dippy ass 4 inch 720p 5 year old retina display! Take an ijunk and put half of the features this phone or the s4 has and it will hardly run!
If you have to ask this question you should probably buy an iphone and be done with it. The advantages of android will probably be lost on you.
Anyone asking that question here should buy an iPhone. Enjoy your purchase
