Samsung Galaxy has been quite successful in the market for its performance and Samsung is soon coming with another killer phone , The Galaxy II. This would undoubtedly be a serious competitor to Apple's iPhone. Already packing much hype and media attention, Samsung Galaxy II could well be the upcoming trend in the smart phone market. So what makes it a good competitor to Apple's iPhone?

Display: The Galaxy II offers a huge display, 4.3 inches to be exact, the iPhone 4 offers 3.5 inches display. Though iPhone's display has more pixels but Galaxy's Super AMOLED display will be equally good and its sheer size will add more value to it.

MEMORY: Samsung Galaxy II offers 1GB RAM compared to iPhone's 512MB RAM. That means your Galaxy II would be faster then iPhone 4. Talking about additional memory , iPhone 4 does not have microSD card slot for additional memory. Galaxy II offers microSD slot so that you can expand memory whenever you want to.

CPU :  Besides 1GB RAM , Galaxy II is powered by i GHz Dual core ARM  processors. Dual core means more power for your mobile.

CAMERA: Apple iPhone 4 offers 5MP rear camera and a VGA camera for video calling. Galaxy II offers 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front camera for optimal video call experience. Video recording from Apple iPhone 4 : 720p@30fps. From Galaxy II 1080p@30fps

RADIO: Sure you have all your favorite tracks stored in your mobile but sometimes you want to enjoy the airwaves. Well you can in your Galaxy II but you can't listen radio from your iPhone 4.

Some other Differences:

• Galaxy II can play flash , iPhone 4 can't
• NFC support in Galaxy II
• More powerful battery
• Class 12 EDGE in Galaxy II
• DLNA and WiFi Direct in Galaxy II

It would be fairly reasonable to say that Samsung has positioned its Galaxy II against the iPhone 4 and maybe the upcoming iPhone 5. It would prove to be a very tough competitor for the iPhone . Also, lets not forget the fact that Galaxy II runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which makes it a perfect buy for android fans.
