Everything has a life span and mobile
handsets are no exceptions. A handset comes to the market with lots of new
things to offer, the market opens its arms and the handset becomes the talk of
the town. Soon afterwards a new handset comes with a couple of newer or
modified offerings and the previous item becomes posthumous. The same thing
seems to be happening to the Samsung Galaxy SII, which after the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy SIII has seen a couple of price cuts, just to keep the handset going.
Lets find out what are the main differences between the two of them.
The Size Difference
Both the handsets sport the same
display - the Super AMOLED capacitive screen. But Galaxy S III has not just the
bigger screen size with 4.8 inch but has far better pixel resolution of
720x1280p as well. No need to say that with 4.3 inch screen size and 480x800p
resolution, the Galaxy SII finds itself tottering.
The Processing Capabilities
The Galaxy SII was not slow, by no
means, it had 1.2GHz dual core Cortex A9 processor, which was seconded by a 1GB
RAM. But the newer thing has a 1.4GHz quad core processor, which is well
complimented by a 1GB RAM. Even a blind man can feel the difference between a
dual core and a single core processor.
The Battery Spec
In reply to Galaxy SII’s 1650 mAh
battery the Galaxy SIII sports a 2100 mAh battery, which is conspicuously
larger and more efficient than the former handset.
The Samsung Galaxy SII comes in two memory
avatars -16GB and 32GB- as far as the Storage capacity of the phone is
concerned; the Samsung Galaxy S III comes in three memory avatars -16/32/64GB.
The more option offered the more customers attracted. Plus SIII gives expansion
facility of up to 64GB, the SII can manage the same till 32GB.
Additional Features
The Samsung Galaxy SIII offers unique
features in multitude, I have picked five of them for you:
1. You can set your Internet data usage
limit by this phone that proves very helpful if you have a limited data plan.
2. SIII has S voice which is widely
deemed as a potent counterpart to Apple’s SIRI.
3. You can customize the lock screen
according to your choice and liking
4. You can hide the unwanted software
and apps which come preinstalled on your mobile handset.
5. You can create your own vibration
alerts with the help of this handset, just like a few years ago we were allowed
to make our own MIDI ringtones for the first time.
Last words
Yes, it is true that the SIII is a
superior handset in almost all the areas, but it is also equally true that the
Galaxy SII is still one of the best handsets on the face of earth. Plus you
have to pay 10K less for the handset. But hey, the Samsung Galaxy SIII reigns
supreme at the present moment. Magnum opus.
