We 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. 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.
"The biggest leap in iPhone history," iPhone 4
Steve Jobs described his new creation as "The biggest leap in iPhone history." 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 eight hours of talk.
Anyway with the long hours of talk, users can enjoy Apple's Face video calling service with a dual camera of five 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, three point five-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 colors, they are black and white.
"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. four-inch super AMOLED screen, 1GHz processor and advanced location-based service. 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 137 grams. The battery is removable unlike the built-in battery of iPhone 4 and lasts longer during stand by time, 490 hours, which iPhone's stand by time is 300 hours.
The five mega pixel camera as same as iPhone 4 and it has HD video playback and recording. It also has great codec support and is capable of playing various formats. The camera application has all the attractive features including autofocus, geo-tagging, touch focus and face and smile detection. However, it has only 57-thousand 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.
