I think I’m going to do something similar to what I did with the iPhone Vs Incredible and list a few categories and give you my personal take. I think you maybe surprised by the results but as always let me know if you think I’m right on or off the mark.
Build and comfort – Draw
Without a doubt the iPhone 4 is the best built smartphone. However as far as comfortable to hold and use not even close to the Galaxy S. The Galaxy S, while being made of high grade plastic instead of a glass composite, feels very comfortable, lighter and solid. When making calls it’s comfortable in your hand while being held-up to your ear and you don’t have to worry about your grip while making a call.
UI – Galaxy S
The iPhone 4 has a wonderful and very basic UI that has attracted a huge number of followers and rightly so but that was then and this is now. It’s time for a choice and that’s where the iPhone misses the target in my opinion. The Galaxy S can be set up with a UI that emulates the iPhone 4 as well as offering a UI that allows you to add widgets to provide on screen information without having to open the application.
Camera – iPhone 4
The 5MP camera on the iPhone 4, in my opinion is superior to the 5MP camera on the Galaxy S. The iPhone 4 camera provided sharper pictures that had better contrast and color creating a more life like image. While both handsets offer 720p video at 30fps I also thought the iPhone 4 offered a better video experience.
Display – Draw
I think this is going to surprise a lot of folks and I will admit the iPhone 4 display is astounding but the color density on the Super AMOLED display is something to see. The viewing angle and screen size make the Galaxy S a winner for me but you can’t discount the quality of the display on the iPhone 4. The pixel density and clarity of the display on the iPhone 4 are amazing no matter what you’re viewing and as you could see in the video it is definitely brighter. I also want to add the 4” display on the Galaxy S makes using the device more enjoyable then the 3.5” display on the iPhone 4.
Web – Galaxy S
This covers a lot of ground including youtube, browsing the web and Wi-Fi. and as you can see in the video the iPhone 4 didn’t start the youtube video and was slower loading web pages. I couldn’t get the iPhone 4 to hold a Wi-Fi signal through the entire video which was 13 minutes so I had to keep re-recording the second half of the video over and over and still the iPhone 4 wouldn’t load and play the youtube video or finishing loading the web page. Maybe the iPhone 4 was having a bad day because it worked a bit better against the Incredible but still slower in loading web pages.
Overall – Galaxy S
Remember all of this is just my personal opinion but I like the feel of the Galaxy S better, responsiveness, operating system and UI better then the iPhone 4. I like having flexibility when setting up my handset and I want to know that my smartphone is going to load web pages and play youtube videos quickly. I did have a problem with the video recording on the Galaxy S and had to turn the phone off and then back on to get it to correct the issue.
