I'm sorry, but I fucking love my Galaxy S II now. I had an iPhone 4 previously, and I thought iPhones were so much better than all Galaxys.. But I was so fucking wrong!
I had the white version of s2, it's been a while, though it does the job really well, I'm thinking if an upgrade, with all the quad cores around, which is worth every penny?
I was wondering , can a galaxy S2 phone or any smartphone for that matter be used as a Wi-Fi only device without an activated SIM Card installed ? I was looking for a great iPod alternative and I found the Samsung Galaxy Player , but this is much better with a lot of the same characteristics , but it's much faster . Please reply , thanks !
Because Apple appeals more to consumerism. The amount of sales doesn't make it good or bad, it just shows how much effort they put into showmanship and advertising
thank you mate for a really good comparison, definitely going to watch part 2 now! You know, at first I really wanted an Iphone because of getting used to the use of my Ipod Touch, but then I thought.. if I buy an Iphone I would give less use to my Ipod Touch, also both of them are pretty much the same thing but one can make calls.. so I looked for something new and this phone, the Galaxy S2 is really getting my attention, I will get the Galaxy S2 for sure but will still watch the next part :P
@Zack4Mac I was having a similar dilemna... I chose S2... I had an iPhone previously, and wanted to try something different as I got bored with the iphone, and I like that androids have less restrictions
That's actually the best way to play Angry Birds, 2 phones, no more waittimes! Vid makes the iPhone screen look as if there's a yellow cover in front of it o.O
@yfisher28i dual core 1.2 ghz and 2x as much ram makes it toy? Highly flexible and powerful os makes it toy? gorilla glass(super tuff stuff) vs glass(not very tuff) Better screen (superamoled vs ips) if sg2 is toy what is the less powerful, less complicated,lower quality contendant(4)??????
finally, a site that is not yet immune to criticism! what the hell is wrong with people these days? is it brain damage, or brain death? who in hell needs to walk into a grocery store and strike up a conversation with somebody elsewhere? why does somebody cut me off in traffic, risking death by my hands, just because they can't wait to speak to another party in heavy traffic? do they stop to rationalize that perhaps, some of us have a life?
hello youtubers!!! Apple iPhone came out first.After that Samsung Galaxzy S2 came out. Samsung Galaxy S2 copied Apple iPhone 4.The size is quite diffrent and the store is not same.But the features are same.iPhone 4 store is app store and for Samsung Galaxy S2 is Android.Both has the same features (Example:iPhone 4=Touch screen,application,wi-fi and battery power. Samsung Galxy S2=Touch screen,application,wi-fi and battery power.) Thnx for creating the video.
The reason Samsung made your TV, your fridge, your washing machine and your vacuum is because they are an incredibly experienced and versatile brand. Using your logic it seems like you should complete the set, and get the phone, however, I'll interpret your massage as you desired. Point out ONE thing, from this video, the iPhone beats the SII on. I don't think I could recall one.
the iphone 5 probably won't even get announced til late 2013... apple are coming out in the news occasionally talking about things they could improve, what they want to add etc... I bet it isn't even halfway through production yet
A stronger gravitational field slows down time. Since the iPhone 4 has a larger density and mass than the Galaxy S2, it produces a larger gravitational field, thus making time slower on the iPhone 4 than the less dense and less massive Galaxy S2.
I went from an HTC EVO (which I loved) to an iPhone 4S (which I hated and gave to my daughter after two weeks) to the Galaxy S II (I love my phone again). Everyone gets all moist over the iPhone but if your the type who evaluates using the head on your shoulders, Droids win.
It is its called the Note. But you have to get everything bigger not just the battery. Better battery, better screen, better processor, HD. I love my note so much I stoped using my GS2 and my tablet
@PittsburghSteeler92 I appreciate your comment and yes I'm very honest. Yesterday I played with the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and I wasn't too excited about it. Today, I went to Verizon and played with the Galaxy Nexus and the difference it's night and day. The screen on the Galaxy Nexus is perfect, sharp, and vivid. I've been using the iPhone since 2008 and I want to change it to Android and the look and sharpness of the Nexus is what got me to it.
that's it, exactly. It's all about personal preference ! I would even go further and say you can't even compare Iphone to Samsung galaxy S2 or S3. Man i really hope this fanboy hating stops someday..
it might be more elegant, but you have to admit it is faster, it has better screen quality and it has a better camera and a lot more features like widgets.
well, the work "face off" seems to imply some element of competition. But i agree that in reality it is definitely more of a comparison video just because the victor is so obvious.
The S2 uses Samsung's S5K3H5(S5C73M3) while the S3 uses Sony's IMX175 and the iPhone uses Sony's IMX145 its immpossible for the Galaxy S2 to have the same sensor as the iPhone 4S seeing as the IMX145 came out after the S2 was Annouced
4s was launched not even 1yr ago, I think it was around Oct, 2011. S2 was launched about an yr ago and launched S2HD LTE for LTE ready countries when 4s was launched. I think iphone4 with galaxy s1 with ICS is more comparable. I owned iphone 2g, 3gs, 4s, galaxy s1, and own ipad2, galaxy tab 10.1, S2HD LTE. Preferred and settled with s2hd since it was a lot more capable and efficient in daily use to me. Even just LTE made everything as a whole new experience.
@PittsburghSteeler92 Sprint doesn't have the Galaxy Nexus yet. I'm waiting for AT&T to get the Galaxy Nexus. I'm eligible for an upgrade, so I'm just waiting until they get it. The Galaxy S2 with Sprint is awesome too, super fast, and it has the Exynos processor, which is way better than the Skyrocket's Snap Dragon processor. One more thing, the battery on the Sprint's Galaxy S2 is much better too :)
@Zack4Mac I know you already chose a phone but here is my opinion why the galaxy is better. You dont need to jailbreak it, the app store is so open you can download tons of stuff that you would need to jailbreak on an iphone. The screen is bigger and the iphone is an ok phone. There are just better phones in the market right now.
Galaxy S2 is not only faster, slimmer, more sleek but the operating system is 10x more customizable than the iOS. If you're looking for simplicity and a "toy" then go with the iPhone, if you're looking for customization, mod support on XDA-Developers, custom operating systems and jailbroken apps on the marketplace then go with the S2
Having been with the iPhone since its 2nd Gen, the 4s was just not what I was really hoping they'd come out with. Seeing the Galaxy S2 in my friends hands made me curious. While the iPhone has been a fine phone for me, I may try out the Samsung, just to try something different. I like the colors in the screen on the Samsung, the iPhone just seems a bit lacking, even in the Retina display.
I trade my iPhone 4 and bought the Galaxy S ii yesterday.. Really love the experience on the SGSii because of the big 4.3" compared to the iPhone which is only 3.5! I LOVE SAMSUNG!!
I swapped my Galaxy S2 for an iPhone 4S because I prefer the iOS operating system and also it can hold 64GB's. I'm much preferring it but still do miss a few features on Android and am really missing some of the customisation but so far iOS is way faster, less lag an I've had no crashes. I'm pretty satisfied. Don't criticise if you haven't owned both.
samsung rocks!! mAYBE iPhone looks little bit better, but it isn't as resistant as galaxy s2. Android is for me the best system - much much better then iOS btw, nice review!
I was watching a drop test between these 2 phones...They droped the iPhone from only waist level and the phone was alredy TORE UP! Scratches everywhere! The higest they went was the top of their heads (and they were pretty tall) and all the galaxy s2 had was a scratch on the side. While the iPhone was BROKEN. So if your a klutz, you might wanna get the Samsung Galaxy s2 or the Samsung Galaxy s2 Epic Touch 4g (Depending on what carrier you have)
I'm sorry, but I fucking love my Galaxy S II now.
I had an iPhone 4 previously, and I thought iPhones were so much better than all Galaxys.. But I was so fucking wrong!
Iphone has a better build quality and premium feel and look but for the rest, camera, display, ram... Galaxy S2 is best!
$2
I love how this guy was way more enthusiastic for listing the specs of the galaxy s2 then the iphone. This is why I went with the S2. Good job man.
Galaxy s2..
So smartphoneenvy which is better
s2 rocks:)
Which one should i buy among these ?
Is the Samsung Galaxy S2 with presure screen? or with what the iPone has? the warmth of your finger?
I had the white version of s2, it's been a while, though it does the job really well, I'm thinking if an upgrade, with all the quad cores around, which is worth every penny?
samsung galaxy s2 or htc sensation xe which is best plz tell me i want buy a one from both plz help me for buying a android device
I was wondering , can a galaxy S2 phone or any smartphone for that matter be used as a Wi-Fi only device without an activated SIM Card installed ? I was looking for a great iPod alternative and I found the Samsung Galaxy Player , but this is much better with a lot of the same characteristics , but it's much faster . Please reply , thanks !
so with two microphones, does that mean it can record sound in stereo if held in landscape?
which appstore is best? android or apple appstore?
Does anyone know the exact release date for the iphone 4 and Att Samsung Galaxy s2?
Are both phones on the same network!?
Have you downloaded the whole app store non your phone?
What version of the galaxy s2 is this!?
Does Galaxy SII come in both 3 and 4G TIA
does s 2 work with micro sim?
but will they blend?
i heard that IPhone's speakers sound is really low you barely hear a song playing trough the speakers .....is that true??
I am purchasing one of these two phones in the next few weeks and this has really helped make my decision. The Galaxy looks SO much faster.
can u make screen capture with samsung pls?
Galaxy S II Seems like the picture in general is just so crisp and clear !
Does anyone know if you can put games and music on the s2 from iTunes? And can you change the background on the s2 like on an iPhone?
can i turn off the clicking noise on the s2?
What was the problem?
134Haze, do you have AT&T? The different networks have different designs
Because Apple appeals more to consumerism. The amount of sales doesn't make it good or bad, it just shows how much effort they put into showmanship and advertising
but...
will it blend?
thank you mate for a really good comparison, definitely going to watch part 2 now!

Can somebody help me? samsung galaxy S W or samsung galaxy Ace 2?? please help me, i will buy it.
Can anyone tell me how much does Samsung's battery last please ?
how much dose s2 cost ???
i think this is the best review on youtube,
Can you play games (like Draw Something) on an android phone (samsung galaxy s2) against someone with an iphone?
Exactly i was hoping that everyone would notice that, but yea your absolutely right
iphone 4s vs sony xperia u? please
Who are better innovators?
@KashLord did you just made up that information??
notice how the time on both phones changed at the same time!
iPhone 4s for Christmas. Best piece of technology I've ever gotten.
So guys what should I buy?
IPhone 4s or Samsung SGS 2??
Still not sure which one is the best
Clear voice and detailed review ! Thumb up compare to other which has low voice, less detail and sucks for everything zzz....
hello the battery is low in iphone4s maybe tats why iphone failed in speedtest
What about it?
thank you, i have decided and will switch from my iphone to a samsung galaxy s2
@Zack4Mac I was having a similar dilemna... I chose S2... I had an iPhone previously, and wanted to try something different as I got bored with the iphone, and I like that androids have less restrictions
That's actually the best way to play Angry Birds, 2 phones, no more waittimes! Vid makes the iPhone screen look as if there's a yellow cover in front of it o.O
yeah, it´s not a competition, it´s just a comparision
thanks so much! i know which phone to get know the smasung galaxy s II of course!
@yfisher28i
dual core 1.2 ghz and 2x as much ram makes it toy?
Highly flexible and powerful os makes it toy?
gorilla glass(super tuff stuff) vs glass(not very tuff)
Better screen (superamoled vs ips)
if sg2 is toy what is the less powerful, less complicated,lower quality
contendant(4)??????
hi the camera are 8 mp in the iPhone 4s not 5 mp and the front camera work without internet
There is no doubt, the huge Super Amoled screen is perfect. The contrast is amazing!
finally, a site that is not yet immune to criticism! what the hell is wrong with people these days? is it brain damage, or brain death? who in hell needs to walk into a grocery store and strike up a conversation with somebody elsewhere? why does somebody cut me off in traffic, risking death by my hands, just because they can't wait to speak to another party in heavy traffic? do they stop to rationalize that perhaps, some of us have a life?

Thnx for creating the video.
Just got to the gaming section, sg2s screen is much more vivid and crisp but performance was the same except for the iphones loading speed
well, all i need is a phone to say hello and bye, that's it.

For the USA, on both verizon and at&t the prices for both phones are the same w/ a 2-year contract. (sorry my comment was so general)
samsung galaxy s2 or htc one s
A stronger gravitational field slows down time. Since the iPhone 4 has a larger density and mass than the Galaxy S2, it produces a larger gravitational field, thus making time slower on the iPhone 4 than the less dense and less massive Galaxy S2.
As a full grown man, I love the screen size on the S2, it's so much more ergonomic (at least for my hands). iPhone is a little too small.
lol, you do know the s2 uses the same camera sensor inc/lens as the 4S?
I hate the SD slot on the AT&T version of the Galaxy S 2 I have the Sprint version and on it the SD card is hot swappable
I went from an HTC EVO (which I loved) to an iPhone 4S (which I hated and gave to my daughter after two weeks) to the Galaxy S II (I love my phone again). Everyone gets all moist over the iPhone but if your the type who evaluates using the head on your shoulders, Droids win.
Thanks! I now know what phone I am going to get!
Hum did u ever drop it? I drop my phone a few times and the volume is great. Its freaking loud even my bf who is korean said my phone is awesome.
Both are great phones. I just matter of preferences which is better for you.
It is its called the Note. But you have to get everything bigger not just the battery. Better battery, better screen, better processor, HD. I love my note so much I stoped using my GS2 and my tablet

Great review. Very helpful, thank you :D
SGS2 got SWYPE, Bluetooth file transfer, Thethering build in, Email's attachment, 4G, Expandable memory. Expandable battery.
iPhone 4 made of glass and eggshell while GS2 is made of Manliness
Why they just can't seperate battery from cell phone.
I heard that Iphone erases its data when formatted while the samsung won't erase its data when its being formatted ?
can anyone verify this?
"So the iPhone sold more, period". The last time I checked, 56.9m was a larger number than 26 million. But I might be wrong :s

@Lif34Real no it just splits the processing between two cores each at 1.2 ghz

To be admitting the iPhone 4 actually has a faster ram than Samsung 6 did you know?!
you better get the iphone 5, coming in october too

@UltravioletSRB so true! Samsung is for mere professionals and mature minded people!
The iPhone color isn't that bright because the Galaxy S just took a number 2 on it !
Having been with the iPhone since its 2nd Gen, the 4s was just not what I was really hoping they'd come out with. Seeing the Galaxy S2 in my friends hands made me curious.
While the iPhone has been a fine phone for me, I may try out the Samsung, just to try something different. I like the colors in the screen on the Samsung, the iPhone just seems a bit lacking, even in the Retina display.

btw, nice review!
not a fanboy of apple and a proud owner of galaxy nexus but we should not forget that iphone 4s has best 8MP shooter and umatchable speakers.
