Samsung Galaxy S2 vs HTC Sensation

Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation are the two most popular smartphones in the market at present. Though, by far, Apple iPhone still rules. But these are the phones that can give some serious competition to iPhone. Infact, if we compare these phones with Apple iPhone, feature by feature, they will come out on top. But lets not discuss iPhone here and instead lets try to compare these two phones and see which is the better one.

Both Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation has the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. Both have 1.2 GHz processors. So there is nothing to choose between the two here. However, Sensation comes with dual LED flash and higher resolution (540x960) compared to Galaxy S2 that has 480x800 resolution.

Samsung Galaxy S2 has 1 GB RAM while the Sensation has 756 MB RAM. If we talk of camera, both have 8 mega pixel rear camera. Though Galaxy S2 has a slightly better, 2 mega pixel, front facing camera compared to Sensation's 1.2 mega pixel camera.

Galaxy S2, at 8.49 mm, is really slim compared to Sensation that has 11.3 mm of thickness. In fact its one of the slimmest phone available in the market today. Its not only slim but its light weight too, weighing just 4.1 ounces. Its competitor, however weighs 5.2 ounces.

Another major difference in the features that deserves a mention is the huge storage capacity that Samsung Galaxy S2 comes with. With 16/32 GB, it comfortably beats HTC that has 1GB of storage capacity.

If we base our judgement on above features, Samsung Galaxy S2 does seem to beat HTC sensation. However, what you choose depends on your preferences.

Samsung Galaxy S2 vs Apple iphone 4

Samsung Galaxy S2 that was released this month in UK is the first handset by the company that comes with dual core processor. Claimed by the company as one of its best products, how does this phone perform when compared with Apple iPhone 4 that is hugely popular, not only in UK but all over the world and has already carved a niche for itself in the market. Lets bring these two devices together and see how they compete with one another.

Weighing just 117 g and with just 8.49 mm of thickness, Samsung Galaxy S2 is thinner and lighter than not only Apple iphone but almost all the smart phones that are available in the market today.   

If we talk about the storage capacity, both Galaxy S2 and iphone 4 have 16/32 GB storage capacity but galaxyS2 comes with micro SD slot of upto 32 GB that gives it an advantage over iphone 4.

Samsung Galaxy uses Android 2.3 Gingerbread whereas Apple iphone4 uses its Apple iOS.Galaxy S2 offers 8 megapixel camera that once again gives it an edge over iphone4 that comes with 5 megapixel camera.

Looking at the above features, Samsung Galaxy S2 does seem to be on top. But why I would refrain from declaring it a winner is, firstly, both the devices are using different operating systems and it is difficult to compare the two. And secondly, iPhone 5 is set to hit the market in September that may just change the rules of the game once again.
