Should I get a Samsung Galaxy S2 or an iPhone 5?

Q. Should I get a Samsung Galaxy S2 or an iPhone 5?
I currently have a small old phone for texting and calls and an iPod touch for music. I would like to replace these devices with one smartphone. I would be using this smartphone for making calls, texting, listening to my music and video collection, surfing the internet, checking social networks and possibly more. I am thinking of an iPhone 5 (when it comes out) or a Samsung Galaxy S2. Below are my reasons for each one:

Samsung Galaxy S2
- 8MP camera with LED flash
- 1080p Full HD video recording
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread: very customisable
- Dual Core application processor - blazing fast speeds
- 5.1 simulated surround sound
- Expandable storage (MicroSD 16GB, 32GB)
- 4.3 inch screen - not too big, not too small
- Super AMOLED Plus display - said to be better than the iPhone 5's Retina display
- Cheaper phone - there are many good deals in Australia for this phone at the moment
- Android apps are slightly cheaper than iPhone apps

iPhone 5 (hasn't been announced yet, below are the most likely features in the phone)
- iOS 5 - very easy to use (this doesn't really matter to me as I am very adept with technology)
- 8MP camera with LED flash
- HD video recording (720p or 1080p)
- Apple's A5 chip
- iTunes and iPhone just work so perfectly together
- Brilliant syncing with computers (I have a Mac)
- 3.5 - 4.5 inch Retina display
- More apps on the App store
- I already have many Apps on my iPod Touch, which I can re-purchase on the iPhone free of charge. However, the iPhone 5 will be more expensive in terms of the actual handset, so this doesn't really matter

Please help me in any way you can! My heart says to go with the iPhone 5 and my brain says that I should go with the Galaxy S2.

Which phone should I get?

Thanks in advance.

A. get the galaxy S2!!!!!, and with a app called "double twist" you can sync all your itunes music to your android,
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/roundup/398417/best_android_phones_editor_choice_august_2011_/?page=1#cb

I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps, and do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone
The android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000; some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free.
Good droid apps

Another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped without jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.

Despite the false rumors, The iphone is also just as, if not more vulnerable to viruses as android

Other features only on android
Turn-by-turn voice GPS
Better and larger screen
No need to connect to computer to sync
Here is a big one, add a sd card
Live wallpaper
widgets

More customizable
More powerful hardware
Flash support, watch ALL the online videos

Apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don’t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker, supply’s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.
The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.

And the iphones “retina display” is a huge scam. By definition a ‘retina display’ is one where the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels. But this is determined by several factors; most important being the distance between the screen and your eyes. The iphones retina distance is 12in, move any closer than that- say 7in and it’s no longer a “retina screen” because your eyes can now see the pixels, by that same token, if I move my android phone back, to say 16-17in, amazingly, it becomes a retina screen as well! (feel free to google this)

Also apple never invents anything, there never “the first”. All they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as “magical” and “innovating”, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years.
So instead of innovating, apple actually hinders technology- after 4 years they still have low-power single core phones, while android, an example of technology in overdrive, has rumored that, after their second year, the release of quad core phones that will surpass even some desktop computers in shear processing power. (now any 2011 android is smoother and faster than the iphone)

Apple should now feel pretty worried; android has passed it in market share
http://www.businessinsider.com/android-iphone-market-share-2011-4

Then apple panics and sues
http://www.dailytech.com/Google+ExCEO+Apple+Doesnt+Innovate+They+Sue/article22190.htm
The funny thing is that apple can’t sue for being the first touchscreen or tablet, because they weren’t,(Nokia fist touch screen, “archos” first tablet) so instead they sue for much more relevant things like, “the rounded icon corners” and “having a flat screen” or “the square shape of the phone”……..

To top it all, if you’ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.
http://androidandme.com/2011/06/news/five-features-in-ios-5-that-show-how-apple-is-now-playing-catch-up-to-google/
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/06/apple-introduces-ios5-with-notifications-ota-updates-and-tabbed-browsing-android-users-giggle-at-their-late-arrival/
1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing

And not only are they copies, but apple didn’t even bother to improve, or change some of them in any way- some even have LESS features than their android counter parts, it’s basically a cheap imitation with the ever-popular iphone skin.
According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats…yet again.

Thanks in advance.

A. For a handset with such a broad range of standout features and specs, the Galaxy S II is remarkably easy to summarize. It's the best Android smartphone yet, but more importantly, it might well be the best smartphone, period. Of course, a 4.3-inch screen size won't suit everyone, no matter how stupendously thin the device that carries it may be, and we also can't say for sure that the Galaxy S II would justify a long-term iOS user foresaking his investment into one ecosystem and making the leap to another. Nonetheless, if you're asking us what smartphone to buy today, unconstrained by such externalities, the Galaxy S II would be the clear choice. Sometimes it's just as simple as that.

Should i Wait for iphone to come to verizon?

Q. apparantly apple ordered chips that only verizon uses so its leading to verizon getting the iphone. or i could get the Droid X. im hesitant about getting the droid x though because every time i get a new phone, a better one comes out the next month. do u think a new droid will come out soon?

A. Um no. They didn't order chips that ONLY Verizon uses- they SUPPOSEDLY ordered the type of chips that Verizon, and lots of other networks around the world, use. India uses the same type of network that Verizon does- thats a billion people- maybe they're releasing one for India- everyone just automatically assumes that its for Verizon, and every year, it's not. These rumors come around every year, and every year, no Verizon iPhone. They didnt want it when Apple came to them first back in 2006 and they dont want it now. Why would they, when any Android phone crushes the iDont any day of the week, and Android is already selling more phones than Apple anyways?? Plus, ATT knows that without the iPhone, they have nothing, so they will pay Apple as much as they want in order to keep it. Why would you ever want such a horrible phone?

Personally, I would choose an Android phone any day because on the iPhone:

-cant take out the battery
-no removable memory
-only Apple-approved apps
-STILL no true multi-tasking like Android
-cant customize your phone AT ALL
-no Flash support
-cant install apps from your computer
-no widgets
-no free GPS navigation
-no mobile hotspot
-no free wireless music downloads
-no ringback tones
-no refunds for paid apps
-all file syncing MUST be done through iTunes (pictures, etc.)
-Android phones have more memory storage
-most Android phones have better cameras
-no standard USB cable like all other phones
-the new iPhone has horrible antenna issues
-instant Android OTA software updates- don’t have to wait a year like iPhone
-can’t get service in an ATT store- have to find an Apple store
-works on ATTs horrible network
-no unlimited data
-tethering comes out of your data plan instead of being separate

Android is miles ahead of Apple- with the new 4.0 software, Apple is only now letting people do things that Android can, like add folders to their home screen, because God forbid that anyone should be able to do that on their cell phone!! And even in 4 years, they haven’t been able to give the iPhone true multi-tasking capabilities, like Android. It took them 4 years to put a flash on the camera for crying out loud!! By the time Apple puts out a new iPhone, there’s a better Android phone out 4 months later. Bottom line: they will always be trailing Android.

Android is already selling more phones than Apple, and it’s been out half the time that the iPhone has. By fall, the Market will have over 100,000 apps, which is more than the Apple Store had at its 2-year mark. Android’s open-source nature will always be more appealing to devs and phone manufacturers because they can market to every carrier, and dozens of phones, instead of 1 carrier and 1 phone. The possibilities are literally endless as far as Android is concerned, because ANYONE can make an app to do ANYTHING on the phone. With Apple, they have to approve every single app that goes into the Store. They even rejected an app because it said the word Android in it- how far do you really think they’re gonna go with that kind of closed-minded thinking?? I want to decide what goes on my phone, not the other way around..

Yes a better Android phone comes around every 4-6 months, but the X would be a worthwhile phone to get, unless you want to wait for a 4G phone next year. You could also only do a 1 year contract instead of a 2 year, and then you'd be eligible to upgrade next June again

Q. i want to buy new mobile phone but i dont know which mobile to buy most advice me about Samsung Or HTC but i was planning to buy Sonyericsson Now i Need help to choose good mobile with good performance

A. The Samsung Galaxy S III is currently the most advanced device in the market. It has similar HUGE response like iPhone 4 released two years ago. Samsung Galaxy S III represent the newest generation of Android smartphones. HTC One X or HTC Evo 3D is one class lower.

The Galaxy S III has been released in Europe and India so far. In the US the device is currently available from third-party retailers. The device will be available any time soon from AT&T and T-Mobile. So if you need the phone right now, the HTC One X is the best shot available at this time.

What is different between trojan virus and scumware virus. and what generally they does?

Q. hi..
plz tell me what is the difference b/w a trojan virus and scumware virus. And also that what they does or what happens to my Android Phone if they are in my mobile...
plzzzzz..... i have NetQin, BitDefender, AVG, Kaspersky & Mcafee Antivirus so I can take risks:)....
thanks!

A. Firstly you should not have more than one anti-virus installed anywhere. Not in your computer not in your phone. Having more than one anti-virus will create loads of false alarms and security loopholes.

Having more than one anti-virus means you are like an old man with chemo therapy treatment and taking medicine for diabetes, you are a walking dictionary for illnesses and you are prone to get sick. You might even have lots of infections that are yet to be detected or cannot be detected.

A Trojan is a type of malware that intrudes your computer as a friendly software. It maybe from a torrent download, or some software from the internet. A Trojan is something that promises to do something, but hides its real intentions of being malicious in nature and harming your computer's security and privacy.

A scumware is a lke an Adware, and adware almost always directs you to the website of its publisher, it can even change your homepage and disable you from changing it back. Adware also cause pop-ups to appear.

An adware can be caused by a Trojan infecting your computer and installing its payload i.e. the adware. Or it can open the backdoor of your computer to allow an adware to easily intrude your computer bypassing the anti-virus.

A trojan is something that can open doors to other malicious software and/or bring them in together as a payload. An adware on the other hand is a malicious program by itself that tends to promote its publisher. An adware can also lead you to any site that the publisher wants.

or a nokia lumia 610 smartphone which is around PHP8000 - 10000??
I dont know what is the major differences of having a windows smartphone and an android tablet aside from having a simcard. please suggest and provide a fair reason.

A. lumia 610
it feels premium and high end in your hand
the screen is a 3.7" amoled screen with Nokia clear black display so that means colors and text look amazing on it and that also means you can easily see in direct sunlight so you won't have to higher the screen brightness
the camera is a 5 megapixle camera which takes amazing photos and videos and it also has the Nokia added features like group shot,panorama shot and burst shot
what group shot allows you to do is to capture the perfect moment so for example if you are taking a photo of 2 people and you blink you will be able to rewind the time till when they were still smiling
the web browser is extremely good and very fast
the phone handles mail in a very good way
you've got a huge number of high quality apps and you also got the Nokia added free exclusive apps like Nokia drive,Nokia maps,Nokia city,Nokia lens,Nokia beta,Nokia music,Nokia creative studio,espn,espn radio,CNN,viber HD. and many more
battery life on the phone is very good and would easily get you through a full day of heavy use on a full charge
the whole os on the phone is amazing and it runs smooth and fast and it's also faster in everyday use than iOS and android
hope I helped :)
tell me if you decided to get it
and if you have any question you can email me at spieleranswers@outlook.com

A. If you are not obsessed with brands then you can go for "Lenovo A690"
The phone has some really good features and comes at a price of roughly Rs. 7200. HTC will never provide good quality phones at such low cost as its hardware is pretty expensive. The same also goes for Sony. Lenovo is coming up with a new range of smart phone segment and therefore, in order to make an entry it is maintaining its price at the lower segment, You can check its specifications at:

Is it possible to upgrade Android OS on a smart phone?

Q. I'm planning to buy a smartphone - HTC Desire or SAMSUNG Galaxy S with Android 2.2. However I heard there is a new version of Android that will released later this year to the marked (version 3.0).

If I buy a phone now, is it possible to upgrade the OS later? Or is it suggested that I wait for sometime.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

A. So far there're just some phones with 2.2. As far as i know those are:

-Google Nexus One (just sold to developers)
-HTC Desire/Bravo
-Samsung Galaxy S

As HTC is seen as one of the main producers of Androidphones and the fact i own a Desire myself, i will take HTC as reference:
Considering that the most recently updated phone is the Desire (not the Droid) it's most likely that this phone gets an 3.0 update. Even though phones without an own software-package, like the Droid and Nexus One are "easier" to update since they got no own software to change, HTC phones seem to be sold more often and are therefore better supported.
BUT, and it's a big but, HTC produces alot of different phones in a rather short time. The Desire HD will come, a Desire Z was seen, so there might be a change of their flagship quite soon which will result in a change of their "update-ranking" as there has been with G1 and Hero before.

The Galaxy S is Samsung's first real hit on the Androidmarket and will most likely be updated as fast as they can, but even here you got the same problem, the I9200 will come and change the Galaxy S position.

Conclusion:
buy a "flagship" and you will most likely get a phone which will be updated to 3.0. If you want to make sure to get 3.0 (even though it's said not to change too much) you will have to wait. But then you will ask the same question about Android 3.1 or 4.0.

best android phone for hd gaming at a price less than rs 15000?

Q. I want to play games like asphalt 7, gta 3. Also i dont want micromax or karbbon as they are not durable.

A. Have a look at Samsung galaxy S Advance and Galaxy S Duos. Both are good in your price range but they only have 8GB inbuilt storage out of which only 4GB is available for use. As you know GTA 3 itself is 2 GB game. And you install 2 games and you are out of storage.
My advice go for Spice Stellar Pinnacle MI530 or MI535. both have 16GB inbuilt storage and 1GB Ram.

Should I return my iPhone 5 and get some type of Android phone?

Q. My first iPhone 5 arrived with a scratch, and the second had sim card issues (even with a replacement card) and Wi-Fi problems. I wanted this phone mostly so I could continue to use my apps and purchase upcoming games. Getting an Android phone is tempting since I'm getting tired of Apple's quality control but I will no longer be able to use my games. What do you recommend doing?

A. If you're open to trying and exploring another platform then sure go ahead and get an android phone. A lot of apps that are in the app store are also available at google play. It does take some time getting used to if you switch so keep that in mind. And also, there's no perfect phone so you're going to experience some type of problem along the line with every phone.

If you do decide to switch, you can get that famous Samsung Galaxy S3, Motorola Razr Maxx HD or HTC One X.

You can go to a store and play with one of them the you decide.

How do I log out of Gmail app on android phone?

Q. The native gmail app on my android phone (HTC Incredible) doesn't allow you to log out of email and you can't set it up to require a password to access your Gmail account. Is there any way to make it require password or to log in and out at will?

A. No, because it is an Android phone, it requires you to be logged into GMail, and you can not log out or delete it. Sorry. Your best solution might be to switch it with a fake GMail account and always sign in via web to check mail or with another application that requires a password to protect your e mail from being accessed by other people using your phone.

How much internet time can i get with 25MB?

Q. Well, this week I am buying a new phone from verizon, and they have changed it so with the phone I want I am forced to purchase a $10 data plan that will give me 25MB of data allowance.

If I only use this to go on facebook and do not actually download anything, about how much internet time would I be getting per month from this?

A. It's not time spent, it's how much you actually view/download that counts. You will be able to go online and look at your data usage day-by-day once you get the phone to get an idea of how much you are actually using.

It really depends on how much you browse the web with the phone. For a normal "feature phone" like they are forcing the $10 monthly 25MB plans on, you will probably not have to worry about going over. On the other hand with a fully internet-integrated phone like an Android device where you can listen to radio, watch youtube and such, 900 to 5000 MB per month is not at all unusual, and is why they require the $30/month unlimited data plan with those kinds of phones.

Thank you

A. If you are not obsessed with brands then you can go for "Lenovo A690"
The phone has some really good features and comes at a price of roughly Rs. 7200. HTC will never provide good quality phones at such low cost as its hardware is pretty expensive. The same also goes for Sony. Lenovo is coming up with a new range of smart phone segment and therefore, in order to make an entry it is maintaining its price at the lower segment, You can check its specifications at:

Please do not go for Samsung because all the models look similar to one another.

in india motorola is better or android?

Q. im planning to buy new mobile with (3g or wifi)internet, zooming camera, bluetooth, infrared, radio, near about 64gb memory, memory extensibility , ease with pc connection (pentium.. os - windows) , reasonable rates and schemes for talk-time and sms. so which one i go for?

A. Um, most of the latest smartphones by Motorola runs on Android. So if you get a recent Motorola phone, most likely that it will be an Android phone. No mobile phones in the world (that I know of) comes with 64 GB of built-in memory. The largest I've seen is 32 GB. The chances of finding a phone with an Infrared is really low these days. All the latest Motorola Android phones comes with 3G and Wi-Fi. But from checking their website, none of the good Motorola Android phones are available in India. So, you should get a Samsung Galaxy S which is also another Android phone, but it's pretty good. Since I don't live in India, I can't help you with pricing.

What r some good and mostly bad things about the blackberry bold?

Q. I might get a bold but i keep hearing about soo many problems

A. Well, I don't know which Bold you're getting but I have a Bold 9780 and I love it.

The good things about it:
The resolution is so clear, detailed, bright and beautiful
It has a lot of memory so I have hundreds of songs and videos in it.
The keyboard is great for texting
It's great for email and social media
It's so much faster for web browsing than previous Blackberry Models like the Curve 8520 and 9300 and the Bold 9000

Bad things:
I wish the screen was bigger
If you download tons of apps it might get slower or freeze
It's still slower for internet browsing if you compare it to Android phones.

Now, the new Bold 9000 has a wider screen and keyboard and it's so much faster. It runs on OS7, a new Operating system. And also, the Screen is touch so you got the great Qwerty Keyboard and a touch screen in one place.

Hope this helps!

Should I buy an android phone now or wait for a new release?

Q. I am seeking an android phone for verizon, but am aware that new software will be coming out soon which may require new hardware... Is it worth waiting a few months for new models to come out or are there any models worth buying right now?

A. Personally, I'd wait. The new software you are referring to is Android 2.3, codenamed Gingerbread. It is going to be geared towards the top-of-the-line smart phones and tablets.
The minimum hardware requirements for 2.3 devices will be a 1GHZ CPU, 512MB of RAM, and a 3.5” or higher display. Motorola announced back in July that they were going to be releasing a powerful 2GHZ smart phone late in 2010 (still nothing yet, and no carrier specified, although Verizon is a fair bet). I'm personally excited to see what other manufacturers like Samsung will have to show in 2011.
Another big reason to wait is because of the launch of Verizon's LTE ('4G') network, a supposed 10x speed increase over the current 3G. Currently, there are no LTE-capable phones. Anything you get now will lock you into 3G.

How do I transfer files through a LAN network between an android phone and a PC?

Q. How do I share/browse/transfer files between android phones and PCs? I have a Wireless Router and the devices are connected to the network. My set up is basically Internet Cable>Modem>Router>Devices. It would be best if I could browse and pick what I transfer remotely between both the phones and a phone and the computer. Are there any apps/programs that do this or better yet, can this be set up without using a third party app?
I need to transfer movies (300-1000mb usually), photos, music and .lua files.

A. On the phone, go to Google Play Store and download and install "WiFi File Transfer" or "WiFi File Transfer Pro". The former is free but has a limit on the maximum file size, while the latter is a paid-for App but does not have the size limit.

Run the App and it will display a URL. Enter this URL in the browser on another device (phone or computer) and it will allow you to upload or download files between the devices.

I use the Pro version on all my Android devices. One purchase covers all of them. Try the free version to see if you like it. You can uninstall it if you are not impressed.

I hope this helps.

Anyone have any opinion on switching to an Android phone from an iPhone?

Q. I don't want to know why Android rules and iPhone sucks or vice versa, I'd like to hear from someone who made the switch, either way actually, and how they liked or didn't like it. My first smart phone was an iPhone 4 and I've had it for about 2 years now. Thanks!

A. I have an opinion as I researched Apple and have never understood the fascination.

You now need to get a body double due to the serious upgrade you are about to undertake.

Coincidentally your phone the IP4 was the latest iphone when Samsung responded with the SGS II.

The Samsung Galaxy S II (2) was released in MAY 2011 & has 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor with an 8Mp camera.

18 months later November 2012 Apple puts a 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor & 8Mp camera in a phone and call it the iPhone5

Just going to the SGS II you have gone past the IP5 and the SGS II is still scheduled for 1 more official Android update. ALL FOR MUCH MUCH LESS than it would have cost for staying in the orchard.

The so call upgrade from the IP5 to the IP5S are at best cosmetic. The IP5S is still a Dual Core phone the THIRD DUAL CORE PHONE WITH AN 8MP CAMERA IPHONE.

There is no comparison it is a win win win situation. As I don't know all the arguments put forward for a fingerprint scanner by Apple I can replicate the effect with the security provided by the 2 Anti theft Samsung and the free standalone anti theft installed.

Here is an question IP5 OR S4 question which only delays you further in getting that substantial upgrade http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Atdj9wWCW6d2R3mT4JTxUsUhBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20130815090417AAay6bp

is there a app for android smart phones that allows you to share a full screen shot photo?

Q. One of the downsides about androids is that you can't crop a whole image ! There are some apps i noticed maybe 1 or two that allow you to do so but how the heck do you share those photos once they are cropped the way you like them to instagram, twitter, facebook or whatever?

A. umm... 1) you CAN crop a whole images on Android.... from 1.5MP to 12MP.... the app you want is called "PicsArt"... if you want to do it from the camera itself, get "Camera ZOOM FX"... I do BOTH on a daily basis. if you wanna SHARE... click SHARE in both apps... FB twitter instagram etc etc etc etc will be listed... choose your fancy.... click ok... walla ... issue resolved...

What are some features or other characteristics you want in a touch screen cell phone?

Q. Things like thinness, gps, battery life, etc. Things you want in the "perfect" touch screen phone.

A. I want a CAPACITIVE touch screen. I want it to have decent battery life, and I want a REAL GPS in it. I also would like a 5mp camera with decent optics and control software. Ideally it would be based off of Android, Symbian, or proprietary OS.
