If someone asked me today which smartphone they should buy out of these two, I would almost certainly say to go for the Galaxy. The screen is bigger and better, the camera is better, the phone is lighter and the call quality is much clearer. Battery life between the two is similar and from a hardware perspective the Galaxy is some way ahead. The Retina screen in the iPhone 4,
iphone 4s cases was much touted as being the next big thing, and it is indeed fantastic, but I find myself wanting to use the larger Galaxy screen for films and most other tasks because there is just so much space to play in. Retina is lovely, but high resolution is more than enough for me and it seems as though dimensions are more important than pixels per inch to me.
It is like comparing apples and oranges and it depends on your taste as to which is right for you. The really good news is that both will do everything you want them to do yet it is amazing that one is almost a year old and still competing with the best the competition can offer.
