iPhone 4 Retina Display vs. Galaxy S Super AMOLED [review]

We had a very hot tempered between iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy in here. But I think this is something fair where we need information about a product before you actually decide to buy it, before we felt loss because no application is still premature to smartphones that we buy. The guy over Engadget, Vlad Savov, make this fantastic review which starting from a comparison with an image and then bamboozle the original camera output. This comparison also with the second handset rocking brightness setting 100 percent and the fastest thing to stand out when putting together a series of photos is the brightness of the iPhone. In Super S Galaxy AMOLED display on the screen is still pretty much standard-setting, but it looks almost gray when juxtaposed with the iPhone 4.



The challenge is getting hot when Vlad Savov took those phones under the sunlight in worse British weather, but there was enough light to challenge both displays. However, cast shadows, away from sunlight, do nothing to avoid the direct rays, and you'll get some utility out of both pretty sweet. Certainly not an easy thing to distinguish between the output of the Retina and Super AMOLED display, the result may be regarded as the best AMOLED although differences between the two very small screen.

On images displayed, looks very notable differences from both superphone. Views Retina really whoops on Super AMOLED pixel level. delta between the two when you stick it right next to your eyes is a place near as pronounced in the use of the real world. In pictures giraffe Super AMOLED seem to indicate a stronger color saturation and sharp definition, although looking pixelated sitting next to Apple's smooth grooves. Stick both at normal distance away from the user, and will probably come down to personal preference again. Maybe for people who are already crazy about the iPhone 4 and S Galaxy will not be too caring about this difference, come back that everything is entirely your decision. Thanks to Engadget for a review and for the images can be viewed here.

QWERTY vs SWYPE

Most of us have been familiar to use QWERTY pad on our phone which can make us faster to type. Now we have Swype as a new way to type on the phone. We just need to move our finger across the keyboard and the system will predict the words you want to type on. Some feedback said that it’s faster when you use Swype.

This new system of typing has been adapted in Samsung Omnia II which is powered by Windows Mobile. It’s only working on Androids where it was developed with Android integrated. Nevertheless, the installer will not work with all Android handsets, it will only work with WVGA phones (Motorola DROID or Nexus One), it means if you use a Droid Eris or HTC Hero, you will need to wait until an official release that supports these phone models.

However, the problem, we think, will come to the surface for non-English language country where the system will not recognize the words. Either, when in some words have almost same characters, it will need more time to determine which words we prefer. With sensor recognizing, it also means only work in touchscreen phone, so it is true when we before predicted that 2010 will be a touch screen year instead of QWERTY era in 2009 has passed away.
