Samsung has made its stand in the market of Smartphones. In fact, Samsung is the only strong competitor standing high in front of Apple iPhone. One of the new additions in the series of Smartphones introduced by Samsung is the Samsung Galaxy S II. The Samsung Galaxy S II is one of the hottest Android Smartphones ever.

The Samsung Galaxy S II has a sleek and straight design which makes it one of the coveted cell phones in the world. Samsung Galaxy S II price is around $700 to $800. The operating system used in Samsung Galaxy S II is Android OS, v2.3 Gingerbread, and the processor used is the 1GHz dual core processor.

The display in Samsung Galaxy S II is the super AMOLED capacitive touch screen with 16m colors, 720 by 1280 pixel resolution and its size is 4.65 inches. The memory storage capacity is 16 or 32 GB internal memory and then there’s the 32GB external memory slot too.

The Samsung Galaxy S II has the video recording capacity in HD at 1080p, it has a 8MP camera which again has an auto focus and LED flash. It also has a 2MP secondary camera at the front. The internet is done through HSDPA and has the capacity of 21 Mbps, HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps and it also has a WiFi connection, the Bluetooth, v2.2, and micro USB v2. The battery life in case of Samsung Galaxy S II is 1600mAh.

In fact, the physical design of the phone is completely pleasing to the eye. It has a smooth plastic all around with squared edges. The Super AMOLED HD Plus screen in Samsung Galaxy S II is one of the upgraded version of the AMOLED first generation display.

It has the Gorilla glass display that prevents the screen from absorbing the scratches, thereby providing the option to help avoid the screen getting spoiled. Though Samsung Galaxy S II does not have the Ice Cream Sandwich version of OS, Samsung has announced that it is soon going to upgrade the Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich version.

The ad points out that the iPhone doesn’t have 4g capability and the new Samsung Galaxy S II does. Pokes fun at Apple fanboys.

Apple now sells unlocked versions of all iPhone 4S models in their online store.

They start at $649 for the 16GB model and go up to $849 for the 64GB model. No CDMA roaming according to Apple, just GSM available on these phones. It just requires a microSIM to make it work from any GSM provider. If you want to get one without a contract see their website here: unlocked iPhone 4s.

For some time we have been experiencing the age of the smartphone but never before has there been so much on offer regarding smartphone functionality and availability. In the early days of smartphones surfing the web tended to be a slow and frustrating experience, but with the latest generation of smartphones and with 3G and continually improving mobile networks it has become lightening fast.

Although many of the smartphones from different manufacturers are converging in looks and style, possibly taking their cue from Apple’s iPhone, in terms of what is going on inside them they are diverging considerably. This is because the smartphone market has fragmented in terms of operating systems.

Currently there are five major and competing smartphone platforms. These are the iOS which is based on Mac and powers the iPhone; Symbian which is a proprietary operating system developed by Nokia and powers phones such as the Nokia N8; Google’s Android OS which powers phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC Desire; the RIM OS which powers Blackberry phones such as the Blackberry Curve and Pearl; and Windows Phone 7. There are also other proprietary operating systems such as the Palm webOS and the Samsung developed Bada.

The big question is whether all these systems can peacefully co-exist or whether there will eventually be winners and losers.

Historically when technology clashed, winners and losers emerged. A classic example was the Betamax and VHS video wars where Betamax, which was the better technology, fell by the wayside. Similarly there was the war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray technologies where HD-DVD was eventually abandoned. Similarly, examples can be found computer operating systems in which Microsoft dominates yet lives almost symbiotically with the smaller Mac OS and the somewhat more geeky Linux.

It is far healthier for the consumer to be able to choose. The problem is that when one organisation becomes dominant, quality tends to suffer. For now all is fine and the current smartphone wars mean that we are served top quality phones at realistic prices, though difficulties might occur in the future if and when the costs of developing and maintaining mobile operating systems become prohibitive.
