iPhone 4 vs

iPhone 4S




There was
overwhelming hype over the release of the iPhone 4S, as usual with

all Apple products, but many hardcore fans were disappointed with

the

technology giant's new brainchild, as there was nothing unique

about

its design and appearance. However, the major improvements were

hidden within. With the new A5 Dual-Core processor, Apple promised

“up to 2 times more power and up to 7 times faster graphics”.

From what we have gathered, the dual-core processor definitely

makes

a difference in the performance of the iPhone 4s. The boot-up time

on

the iPhone 4s is significantly better than that on the iPhone 4,

and

apps generally launch a lot quicker. Games look much sharper on

the

iPhone 4S than the iPhone 4, and the 4S HD display doesn't hurt

either. The dual-core processor also kicks in with the iPhone 4S

camera, which shows a negligible amount of shutter lag when taking

multiple shots, when compared to the iPhone 4 camera, which reacts

sluggishly when asked to perform the task.

Samsung : Galaxy SII vs Galaxy

SIII


/>


Samsung is giving Apple a run for their money by releasing the

Galaxy

SIII. Armed with a quad-core CPU, the powerhouse is set to be the

most powerful smartphone in the market by far. Its predecessor,

the

SII, is armed with a dual-core CPU, but still performs admirably

when

compared to the SIII. Basic applications run with the same speed,

but

the quad-core does help the web browsing on the SIII to be

lightning

quick and fluid, exceeding the SII. SIII also has a camera feature

called burst mode, which takes 20 consecutive shots and chooses

the

best one, as well as HDR recording. These features have been

optimized to use the powerful quad-core. The SIII also contains

the

Samsung TouchWiz interface, which can thank the quad-core for

running

its cool animations without a hitch.



HTC One X vs HTC One S




The performance on both of these handsets is comparable, as they

are

able to perform most tasks with the same speed. The web browsing

is

great on both phones, with negligible difference between loading

times. Both run Android 4.0, and have HTC Sense included, which

many

users enjoy to add customized widgets. The only noticeable UI

difference is that there is a carousel animation in the One X when

changing between menu screens, which the One S doesn't have. Once

again, on high end games, there is a noticeable difference in

graphics quality between the One X and One S, but both render

video

games seamlessly. In terms of general usage of most apps, they

seem

to be on par in terms of performance.
