Ok...after seeing all these stuffs here...some of u might understand but some of u dont...

Well, lets not look at the specs. Instead of the technology used...

Displays

As u can see, the Apple iPhone4S uses Retina display which makes it a very good display. For the Samsung Galaxy S2, it uses the infamous SuperAMOLED+ and to top it off, it is at a 4.3" screen. Instead of the iPhone which is only at 3.5" (both are measured diagonally). Well, which is better u ask? Not that much difference if u ask me. The Retina display do have a better pixel density @ 326ppi rather than the Galaxy S2 @ ~217ppi. Also, the iPhones resolution is slightly larger than the Galaxy S2 which is 960x640 pixels where as the Galaxy S2 is at 800x480 pixels. Although both are better than HTC's qHD display unless u prefer HD display which is better than both the Retina and SuperAMOLED+.

Which is better ?

Apple iPhone4S

Next is the processor..

The Apple iPhone4S is armed with the latest A5 chipset but regardless for being a dual core cpu, it is clocked at 1GHz or some claims it to be even undeclocked at only 800MHz. However the Galaxy S2 is clocked at 1.2GHz which is way faster than the Apple iPhone4S. Not to mention, with a rooted SGS2, it can go up to 2.1GHz (WARNING : May cause overheating of CPU and permanently damaging ure phone). A jailbroken 4S may do the same, but not to the extend of a rooted SGS2. Yes, damage could occur if overclocking is done, but there are many apps out there that helps u manage it to prevent damage.

U may not see the difference but in benchmarking, the SGS2 performs better than the 4S.

Which is better?

Samsung Galaxy S2

OS @ Operating System

The iOS 5 proves to be faster and more intuitive...but  the Android is no laughing matter and with the help of TouchWIZ, its a match to the iOS 5. Although the iOS 5 lacks customization where the Android lets u customize in any way possible. May even make ure phone better, faster, sleeker than it already is. Therefore, there is no question in which is better.

Which is better?

Samsung Galaxy S2

RAM?

The Apple may have such a huge storage, but it doesn't have a hug RAM. In fact the 4S only has half what the SGS2 has. 512MB is kinda small for a high-end smartphone is I may say so. 

Which is better?

Samsung Galaxy S2

Now, I am not going into all the other features such as battery life, camera or videos or any others not compared since we are comparing the most significant difference in these two smartphones. So, for those of u who thinks that the iPhone is much better? Well, may be u should keep it to ureself.

Apple may claim they invent all the cool stuff and shit...but in reality they don't. So, my post ends here for today. Post ure comments or watever u wanna do... I dun care...

Daa~~
