In this article, we are going to deal with Apple iPhone vs the Dual-Core Android Mobiles. In our previous articles we have dealt with Galaxy Tab vs iPad 2, Motorola Xoom vs iPad and also about Best Tablet PCs in the Market currently.
Apple’s iPhone is the king of the current smart phone selection. When it was released over a year ago it was streets ahead of any competition out there. So what difference has a year made and which phones are the biggest threats to the iPhone 4’s dominance?
Motorola Atrix
The Atrix is a super powerful machine; with a 1GHz dual core processor it can really bust a groove. It also has excellent key board connectivity and offers a docking option to use it as the engine for a Lapdock – a laptop hybrid offering.
Aside from this it used Android 2.3, has a 4.2in screen, 3 USB connections when docked as well as up to 48GB or memory and Motorola’s WebTop OS very similar to that of a PC.
Compared to the iPhone the Atrix is a far more powerful and equally as well executed device, making it a strong contender for the position of best smart phone.
HTC Sensation
The Sensation by HTC is another very powerful device; it has a 1.2GHz dual core processor compared to the iPhones 1 GHz single core chip. It does weigh 12 grams more than the iPhone 4 but its screen is almost an inch larger and has a 540×960 resolution and a 16:9 ratio screen – ideal for watching movies.
HTC also brings its new HTC Watch app to the arena as a competitor for iTunes. Watch has over 600 films ready for streaming to HTC phones and they hope will increase with time – HTC will hope this will relieve Apple of its dominance.
The HTC also has a 8mp camera capable of 1080p playback, making it far ahead of Apple’s 5mp 720p camera. Its new user interface and 3D graphics also put it in a very strong position over that of the iPhone 4
Samsung Galaxy S II
When comparing these two phones, one must be struck by the similarities in design. The Samsung owes a lot to the iPhone 4 for its shape and design.
Once again the iPhone loses out in the power stakes with its 1GHz chip; the Samsung has a dual core 1GHz processor. It is also over 30g lighter than the iPhone, weighing in at a tiny 109g.
It also has a 4.3in Amoled display, as with the HTC, nearly an inch larger than the iPhone. The AMOLED is also nearly just as clear as the iPhones.
The Samsung like the iPhone comes in 16GB and 32GB offerings and can be pushed to 64GB like the largest iPhone by way of mini SD card.
It must be said that the three contenders definitely give the iPhone a run for its money, so with all this spirited competition about it’ll be interesting how Steve Jobs responds to put the iPhone back to its position as undisputed champion.
