Apple iPhone 4S Versus Samsung Galaxy S II

 

Whether we admit it or not, the smartphone market is practically a battle between the iPhone and Android handsets.  So with the announcement of the iPhone 4S, it is but natural to compare the newest iPhone to arguably the best of the current Android handsets, the Samsung Galaxy S II.   The design and hardware are very different between these two handsets, with iPhone 4S still donning a 3.5-inch screen, while the Samsung Galaxy S II sporting a 4.3-inch display.  Ultimately, of course, it’s a matter of OS preference and only the users can really decide who wins.

In any case, here is a comparison of the specs and features of the iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy S II.
