I am thinking about buying a Galaxy S II as a christmas present for my brother in law but I am missing a comparison and hope someone in here who have had both a Galaxy S II and an iPhone 4 can help me with a 1 on 1 comparison of the phones.
He haven't ever had an android or an iPhone and doesn't really have a preference but wants an iPhone because everyone else have one. I have an iPhone 4 at work and it doesn't impress me one bit and I would at anytime recommend the Galaxy S II as I have one, but would like an objective comparison!
Thanks in advance
I've used both and I still prefer the S2, and I like Apple products, generally (though not a fan of their philosophy of use.)
Id ask you to consider the Moto Droid RAZR as well, provided its released in time.
I would tell you to get the sgs2...however this isn't the place to ask this questions because as this is a sgs2 forum then people love the Samsung galaxy s2 for the obvious reasons xd

Techie = SGS2
Dumbo needs hand holding in the Tech world then Apple .
AS to whats best loads and loads of reviews and comparisons on the Android daddy site .( www.google.com)
Techradar do good reviews .
One point worth making on the 1st December 2011
SGS 2 is due an update to Ice Cream Sandwich within the next couple of months and this judged on the previews should push the SGS2 way ahead of the IPhone 4 .
Plus IOS5 update not much to write home about and latest IPhone model hardly changed leading me to believe the IPhone 5 may have an early release with a turbo charged user experience in order to fight off the Android dragon .

Wants better apps, then go for Apple.
Want's the customization of android in general then go for the SGS2.
I still have my iphone 3gs (because of my son's games only), tested the iphone 4 from my gf, and SG2 is a keeper!
Maybe Galaxy note or razr are other good options...?
Heres my view....i have both, the Galaxy S II is about 2 days old now though but i did have the originally Galaxy S and iPhone 3GS over a year ago.
Galaxy S II - He wants to Root, put on ROMS, OC/UV, and basically all the customizing/hacking things.
iPhone 4 - Simple and easy to use, amazing battery life, hassle free, great apps.
If he doesn't plan on doing all the rooting and customizations, i'd say go for an iPhone because really, android is all about the customizing.
Im still testing and finding the best option for battery life on my galaxy S II but it really doesn't compare to the iPhone. Not from what i see right now.
I personally got bored of iOS once again and made the change to the Galaxy s II since its the best android phone out right now along with the Galaxy Nexus but thats loads more expensive atm.
But heres one big facter......"He wants an iPhone" If he is leaning towards the iPhone and is more of a simplistic not that geeky dude, get him the iPhone. It would be a better choice.
There's also the music factor
iPhone allows external DAC like FiiO E7 to be used. -However, you're boxed into Apple's iTunes jail.
Samsung Galaxy S2 has a really crap DAC implementation and there's no known way to connect an external DAC via a pure I2s or PCM digital-out manner. Music sounds lifeless on the SGS2. No amount of EQ tweaking will fix the IMD and jitter.
So, if your brother is an audio geek, then Apple (despite the iTunes constraint) is still the better choice.
I ended up purchasing a Sansa player...but I'm still disappointed I can't use my Samsung as the music source because the range of excellent and beautiful audio apps, if it weren't for the crap sound of the pll-jitter DAC, would have made it a very pleasurable experience.

Ok so I already think the SGS2 is better than the iphone 4s for anyone of a number of reasons I can speak of but whats the big fuss over ICS?
what exactly does it / do you think it will offer that gingerbread doesnt? only I havent really seen anything that makes go oooooh must have that, so what am I missing?
Simple dude, it like this, iphone is like Rolls Royce car, exclusive for nerd. Stable and smooth.
But galaxy s2 is like Lamborghini Murcielago. Super speed, super customize, tweaking can make it crazy in performance. but u know this super car need more gas than rolls royce car rite?
Well, for a gift, better iphone, its look tidy and the performance is good, stable. It look expensive. Forget about sgs2, coz sgs2 is for crazy people like me who really want top performances. Go for iphone.

Thanks for all the great replies I think I will go for SGS2 because of the possibilities of customization and I think he eventually would want to root.

SGS2 has:
- Larger screen
- 100000:1 contrast ratio (IP4S is just 1400:1)
- Thinner
- Lighter
- 1gb of ram (IP4S is 512mb)
- 1200mhz cpu (800mhz on IP4S)
- OS customization!
- better 2MP front facing camera (IP4S is just 0.9MP)
- faster 21MB data speeds (IP4S is 14MB)
- External SD Slot (IP4S doesnt)
- HDMI Slot (IP4S doesnt)
- Bigger battery (longer too)
- Flash enabled browser
- Bluetooth file transfers
- Build Quality (see drop test on Youtube)
The IP4S was a very desperate release from apple to try & bridge the gap between themselves & Samsung - however, the SGS2 is 6 months older, has higher specs, more features & a greater performance.
Samsung & google are truly booming... I think apple are getting worried.
Android now has a much higher global market share than IOS, at current growth the Android Market will pass the Apple Appstore in 2012!

if he is a technology geek definetly s2 if not definetly iphone
Why are you asking us? You know your brother, give him what he wants. If he's a hipster and wants an iPhone, then you'd just make him a bit unhappy with the SGS, because he will have to use it. Maybe he will like it!
I am really surprised how reasonably fair and unbiased these posters are.
The very nature of this site is for enthusiasts and this section for those who want to get the best out of their SGSII.
To see quite a few recommend that the brother gets an IP4S is quite amazing. I wonder if a similar response would be given at a similar site for IP4S users.
My ex bird has suddendly decided she wants a smartphone, she knows absolutely nothing about phones, asked me what was the best thing to get i said an iPhone, usually id never recommend anyone getting one of those vastly overated locked down phones but if she got a SGSII she would only end up annoying me trying to get everything working whereas the iPhone is for dummies and everything works out of the box assuming it doesn't blow up when your on a flight

Edited my post for not reading properly.
My personal stance on this is, if person is not that technically(esp smartphone) literate, then give him an iphone. If he is a bit experienced in tech(pc and stuffs), you may try to give him a SGS2.
That's why my parents use iphones, and me and my sister use android, though she's trying wp7 right now.
Go for iphone if = you feel like you are living in 90s era, haha,
Hey, go for iphone. That gonna be precious present even, a solid exclusive gift.
My previous phone is ip4s, sold to my neighbour, shes a girl. I cant use iphone4s, outdated UI style make me boring a lot. Expensive outside but nothing inside. I love my ip4s, but i love sgs2 much more. Sgs2 match my need. You know why i bought sgs2? Because i read somewhere called it a 'legendary'.. 'beast'.. I admit with the title they gave.

"(SEOUL--Korea Newswire) March 22, 2012 -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, today announced it will be offering a Premium Suite upgrade for GALAXY Note users worldwide from Q2. It includes extra multimedia features and a range of new S Pen optimized applications in addition to an OS upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The Premium Suite offers new features and applications exclusive to GALAXY Note and its innovative S Pen, which was introduced with GALAXY Note 10.1 in Mobile World Congress 2012 last month. This includes S Note, a unique tool that lets you combine your notes or sketches with other digital content, giving you a new way to create your own stories. S Note comes in various ready-to-use templates for a range of tasks including meeting minutes, diary and others.
S Note also includes the innovative Shape Match and Formula Match applications that help correct and digitize geometric shapes and even solve numeric formulas hand-drawn with S Pen, increasing your on-the-go efficiency and productivity. You can draw tables and grids which are instantly digitized, saving time and effort. Moreover, by using the S Note’s integrated knowledge search engines, users can quickly search, and obtain information.
For a touch of self-expression, the Premium Suite also includes My Story, another S Pen optimized application that allows you to create personalized digital cards for friends or family using any type of content including notes, video content, photos, text or voice.
In celebration of the Premium Suite upgrade announcement, Samsung will provide special offers to all GALAXY users as an official launch partner of Angry Birds Space, a new blockbuster mobile game. For all Samsung GALAXY users, an exclusive GALAXY Note level will be provided for extra fun. Moreover, a special package of 30 challenging levels – ‘Danger Zone’ – will be available for free if unpacked within the three-month period.
“GALAXY Note continues to delight customers all over the world with its incredible versatility and unique user experience. With the Premium Suite upgrade, we wanted to add features that enrich users’ Note experience even more, including the great advantages of Android 4.0 and innovative applications for S Pen,” said JK Shin, President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “We are committed to providing extraordinary experiences for consumers, and we will continue to provide new features and upgrades to enrich our offering.”
The Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade brings an entirely new look and feel to Android on GALAXY Note, with a more intuitive user interface that includes a redesigned App menu for easier multi-tasking. The upgrade also introduces innovations such as Face Unlock, Snapshot, and others.
The availability and scheduling of the software upgrade will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements.

As a fellow AT&T employee, I agree with what you said. I mean, the Captivate just got the Gingerbread update a few months ago! Fingers crossed for the Devs out there....
you guys that are so negative to this announce sound like you rather get no information coming out from samsung at all about ICS update than when they tell you at least when you can start expecting.... XD

The time ics arrives, this forum is going to be flooded with "should I get the Galaxy S3"
I know my international Note will see ics before my att version does. I don't mind but the lack of devs is not promising. You have 2 devs working on roms and one has been MIA for a while.Oh well... but mad props to DAGr8, and hope tpc is ok.

It comes from experience. The Captivate got Gingerbread MORE THAN A YEAR after Samsung announced it would be available within a few months (GB was announced last summer that it would soon be available for the Cappy, here we are nearly a year AFTER that announcement).
Folks, realistically, we are looking at Christmas at the earliest for anything official for the ATT Note. The release schedule generally is that the US market is the second to last to have the OS released and this is to the carrier, NOT to the users (this is how Samsung does it, not all phone manufacturers work this way). So once Samsung 'gets around' to releasing to the carrier (again, nearly every market will have it before it is given to ATT), ATT will have to test / tweak / add whatever they want to put in.
HOWEVER, as of Monday, Samsung released the source for the Korean models of the Note. It will need alot of work before it is ready for the ATT Note BUT it is a huge step in the right direction and gives devs a base to start cooking up some REAL roms. Unfortunately, devs cant just build and compile it and stick it in the ATT Note but it can be modified and tweaked to do so AND gives a head start that allows devs to port over the improvements to the inevitable release of the ATT Note source code.
koren note is same as att note.just gone need a modem bin for usa

If you really are an AT&T employee and purchased the Note hoping that you would get an official release of ICS in the year 2012 then you obviously havent worked for AT&T for long.
---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------
Seriously people, if you wanted ICS then you should have bought an unlocked nexus.
The track record for new android releases from the manufacturer and official releases from AT&T have always been mired with delays and issues. And people want to act surprised when its going to take longer than a few months for the Note to get ICS?
Hi,
I bought my G2 a month ago and I am very very satisfied with this phone. I coming from the Iphone (and could not imagine some years ago to have other phone as an Iphone). Last year I tried the Lumia 920 but was not happy with the restrictions and lack of apps in WP8. Then I tried the Nexus4 and it was a big surprise: I learned to love the flexibility of Android. I missed LTE so I switched to the HTC One until I broke the screen and realized the terrible hardware support of HTC.
I noticed a new phone on the top of Stuff's best smartphones list: the LG G2. I read several tests and decided to give a try. Now it is my phone and I am really happy with it. I like LGUI as well. Recently I use Reayglobe ROM on the phone.
The question I would like to discuss / hear your opinions is about ranking of this phone.
Stuff shortlists the G2 still on the first place, and chose the G2 as gadget of the year. Check this: http://www.stuff.tv/
At the same time, T3 ranks the G2 at the 6th place and starts the list with the Iphone 5S, which is in my view unbelievable. (Strange, but in the hard-copies I see different rankings as in the online version where the N5 leads).
Furthermore, in the T3 ranking the Nexus 5 is 2nd and the G2 is 6th (in the online version not even listed) however, the the G2 has everything the N5 offers, and the N5 has not many things we have in the G2.
Why is T3 so much biased for the Iphone? What is behind such ranking? Manufacturer support for the magazine? Are these magazines really independent?
Some reviewers will put the iPhone in first no matter what. Finger print reader and an updated camera... amazing! So innovative lol.
Honestly though... the moto x COULD have been the best phone of the year if they put a decent camera on it and a bigger battery. they didn't so oh well.. I've played with every phone out this year and the best over all imo is defiantly the g2. It has some things that could be better. But a solid package overall

I'm not sure if magazine reviews should be trusted as much as they are. Many reviews are slanted due to certain 'financial incentives'. And Apple allegedly has a very large advertising budget
I want to buy a smartwatch to get a fast access to text message, music, some running apps, and I want a camera on it what is can take photos, and either save it to my Ultra or on micro card. Can you guys recommend something under $100?
I saw on ebay few interesting models like : TW530, U8, Z13, IK8 .....
Any of you using a "no name" brand china made smartwatch, and any recommendation?
So nobody has a smartwatch?

I have a Pebble. I started loving it even more when I got my giant phone. It gets all the notifications I want, I can easily see it outside and I only have to charge it once a week so it works well for me.
If you want something more full featured at a budget (except for the camera part) I would look into a LG G Watch on Craigslist or eBay. I've been seeing them from $90-125. Everybody's ditching them for the Moto 360.
I have a Pebble and a Samsung Gear Fit. The Gear Fit is a bit crippled in functionality because I don't have a Samsung phone, but I picked it up for $80 and can't complain. I still like the Pebble better, just plain simply works. Of course, neither option mentioned has the camera you want.
I use the original galaxy gear works great with my ultra
The pebble watch seems to be the most practical watch in terms of battery life and display readability. It's also got a mature eco system. People i know who have them say they just work. They're not super fancy with color displays and dozens of toy apps.
I looking 4 a gift 4 my sister . I thinking about graphic tablet ( since she wanted that ) but only possiblity to create few drawings seems .... Poor
I said to myself "wait . I got note 8 and it got spen" . So I came here . How is tab s3 working right now ? I ask only about spen . I root every device so if rom will be stock , I wont have any problems with spen . But Should I buy something else if She want just graphic tablet or. s3 should be ok ?
Nah not really
I got one right in front of me now.
To be completely honest with you, the tab s3 is garbage.
Its Laggy and the Pen comes with a lot of delay
Battery life is just OK
Software Support is typically Samsung, but XDA modding community is pretty much non-existent. There is no decent rom outside for a daily use.
If you want a Tab for ~400 Euro to draw on the only real option (and I am really sorry to say this, because you know its APPLE) is the apple IPAD 2018 9.7 Inch. It costs about 300€ and the Pencil costs 100 extra. I know APPLE WTF, but no android tablet comes even close to this...
So now you can punish me DEAR ANDROID GOD!
It's not the best solution but its decent
I agree with the above statement but for what I use it for its good. Only use it for note taking for work that uses one note to sync between all my device.
Previously running a asus vivotab 8 this a step up from that. Although there are some quirks that bug me about the tab s3 like the inability to us the buttons to erase in one note but that's more of a one note issue then the tablet.
Performance is what you expect from a 820. Battery life is ok
I'm sure if I rooted and installed battery saving apps like greenify and nap time it would be better but I don't feel like rooting and having to wipe
What about s4 tab ? Same garbage ? I looking 4 something max 2k PLN . Around 460E . She is beginner and I don't want to buy her wacom ( most popular graphic stuff in Poland) cuz 1 with screen ( cheapest ) is around 1,200 E. I was looking at lenovo tablet with graphic pen . No1 yet show how this pen works on this tablet on yt . I guess is that bad that people don't show it ?
Anyway . I have no idea what I should buy her that's why I ask u here

Tab S4 the same Garbage
Android can't compete in the Tablet Sector against Apples IOS in 2018. Even Google chose to throw away Android for their Tablet and go with Chrome OS. Not the most elegant solution either, if you ask me. Just look at the laggy Animations it's hilarious for a Tab that starts at 600bucks+99€ for the pen. Even their 1600€ i7 Model has laggy animations dough to bad software optimization.
I am really sorry to say this again, the Apple IPAD 2018 is the best Option for this price & for your use-case by far.

Fought it's same
For me, it's fine I guess. I sold a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S in exchange for this since I never really used it. At least It's 10x better than my old Galaxy Note 10.1 which, you know, might be the laggiest tablet in the universe. That thing was somehow bricked after months of constantly charging and never being used due to it's lagginess and the bulk ass S-Pen. Drew a couple of foxgirls on the S3 tho. I'm **** at drawing but at least that one's cute. Not the tablet's fault.
And yes. I do have an actual graphics tablet. It's a Huion H420 though so it's not actually really good for drawing. Used it to click circles.

I am not sure what your problem is. My Tab S3 is fast, quite fast indeed, and there is no stylus lag at al. In fact, the stylus is a joy to use with this tablet. I suggest that you restore the tablet to factory condition and then re-install your applications. This would make a substantial change to the speed and stability of the system
I love my tab s3. Perfect for my reading, writing, viewing, and casual gaming. Wish it is a bit lighter but other than the weight, I am so happy with it. I used to root all my gadgets but not this one and my S8. I have become a samsung fan.
