Which Is Better: Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Galaxy S II

With the dust still settling from one of the most exciting smartphone battles the industry has seen, and clouds of stardust swirling around a complete review, it’s time to step back and take a sober look at two great phones. Two glorious chapters in Android history, two milestones on Samsung’s rise to the top.

Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Galaxy S II

Keeping a cool head about gadgets like these two isn’t the easiest of things but one has to be calm and rational in matters of upgrade and, ultimately, money. To get the obvious out of the way, the Samsung Galaxy S III boasts a massive HD screen and double the CPU cores of its predecessor. It’s as simple as that – and more than enough for most people. What we’re trying to do here is look closer at the differences between the two generations and find out what the upgrade costs and what it’s worth.

Diffrence between Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Galaxy S II

The Samsung Galaxy S III is clearly the better equipped phone – it bests the S II on practically every count – but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right Galaxy S for you.

Here’s a quick list we threw together to help you get an idea of what Samsung improved on with the Samsung Galaxy  S III, but also why an Samsung Galaxy S II might still be a smart buy.

Why the Galaxy S III is better?

  • Bigger, 720p screen
  • Not slimmer, but the thickness is much more uniform
  • Quad-core processor, faster graphics
  • S Beam, S Voice, Smart stay, smart alarm, 50GB Dropbox and so on
  • Better battery backup
  • Snapping photos while recording FullHD video
  • GLONASS support
  • Bluetooth 4.0 LE
  • 64GB storage option (comes with a price premium)
  • Why the Galaxy S II is still good enough
  • Cheaper to buy new, plenty of second-hand deals too
  • Smaller, lighter device
  • SuperAMOLED Plus screen (has a full set of subpixels)
  • Equally good camera with 8MP stills, 1080p video
  • Same amount of RAM – 1GB
  • Regular SIM slot

Of all the reasons listed, price is perhaps the biggest ace up the Galaxy S II’s sleeve. Yes, it’s gotten old, but it remains a very solid device, albeit in an upper-midrange position. Then there’s the vibrant developer community around the S II, which might give it Android 5.0 Jellybean, even if Samsung decide not to do that officially.

On the other hand, if you are after the crème de la crème in Android, the list is pretty short and the SGS III is on it. Samsung have treated the Galaxy S III as a droid royalty and the smartphone is getting plenty of cool accessories (wireless charging, AllShare Cast, the Pebble), fancy software (S Voice, etc.) and it’s practically a lock for a Jellybean update.

To get the full picture, we’ll need to look at hardware and software, performance and camera. The next page kicks things off with a look at the hardware and the screen.  source

ICS update for the Sony Xperia arc and Xperia Neo

Two more members of the Xperia family are joining the Ice Cream Sandwich club – congratulations to the Sony Ericsson (well, technically Sony now) Xperia arc and Xperia neo. What they’re getting is Android 4.0.4 – the latest available from Google – but they’re sticking with an older kernel – 2.6.32. The update is being rolled out in stages, so it might not be available for your unit just yet. Owners of an Xperia arc can check this page to see if the ICS update is available for their unit (you need to check the phone’s SI number printed under the battery) and Xperia neo owners can have a look here.
The remaining Xperia phones from the 2011 lineup – Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Live with Walkman – are also to get the 4.0.4 update starting some time this week, though we haven’t seen reports of updated phones yet (post in the comments if you do get the update). The Xperia PLAY will not be updated as previously reported.

ICS update for the Sony Xperia arc and Xperia Neo
Xperia phones that already got the ICS update (arc S, neo V and ray) will also be getting the Android 4.0.4 treatment soon (what they received was 4.0.3).
The NXT series will take a bite of the Ice Cream Sandwich starting with the Sony Xperia S (update expected in late June), with the Xperia P and Xperia U following in Q3.

Unlocked Samsung I667 Focus 2 Reviews and Hot Deals

The Samsung I667 Focus 2 for AT&T is the third LTE addition to the carrier’s impressive Windows Phone lineup. However, in order to avoid clashing with the platform heavyweights – the Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan II – the Korean offering undercuts both in terms of specifications and price.

As you can probably guess, Samsung’s approach towards its latest product to run Microsoft’s mobile OS differs significantly than the aspirations of some of major its competitors.

Latest Samsung Galaxy I9300 Galaxy SIII Specifications

There’s no need for us to tell you the importance of the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III for both its own manufacturer and the Android world in general – our daily interest stats speak for themselves. Its predecessor was really something special and what everyone wants to know now is whether or not the new Samsung flagship has what it takes to fill its boots.

Samsung I9300 Galaxy SIII Configuration

The Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III seems to bring all the latest and greatest technology in the mobile world under one roof. The quad-core CPU and the HD screen are taking most of the glory here, but the S III has quite a lot more to offer, as you can see from the list below.

General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, HSDPA 21 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps

Form factor: Touchscreen bar phone

Dimensions: 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm, 133 g

Display: 4.8″ 16M-color HD (720 x 1280 pixels) Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, Gorilla Glass 2

Chipset: Exynos 4212 Quad

CPU: Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 1.4 GHz processor

GPU: Mali-400MP

RAM: 1GB

OS: Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Memory: 16/32/64GB storage, microSD card slot

Camera: 8 megapixel auto-focus camera with backlit sensor, face detection, touch focus and image stabilization; Full HD (1080p) video recording at 30fps, LED flash, 2MP front facing camera, video-calls

Connectivity: Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 3.0+HS, standard microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, FM radio, TV-out, USB-on-the-go, NFC

Battery: 2100 mAh

Misc: TouchWiz 4.0 UI, Extremely rich video/audio codec support, built-in accelerometer, multi-touch input, proximity sensor, gyroscope sensor, RGB sensor, Smart stay eye-tracking, S Voice natural language commands and dictation

A lengthy list for sure and pretty great for the most part. In addition to plenty of extra screen estate, resolution and processing power, the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III brings a new, much larger battery, the futuristic sounding eye-tracking technology, and also hides several cool software tricks up its sleeve.

In fact, of all the rumored goodies, the non-PenTile screen and the 12 megapixel camera are the only ones which didn’t make the cut, but we are not even sure you should feel too sorry about that. The subpixel density is still on par with what the S II offered, while the camera got a whole new sensor, thus it might still turn out to be a nice upgrade.    Source
