This video popped up in my RUclips feed out of nowhere. I’m pretty sure I watched this 10+ years ago when this came out as I’ve been watching pocketnow forever. Kinda cool to look back at these old videos
I remember when I watched a comparative video between the SGS2 and the iPhone 4s, I still had a Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic in my hands, because I had not yet entered the Android world. I documented both RUclips videos and technological web pages. In the end I opted for the SGS2, because of the customization and freedom they gave to use and put any app (apk) on the phone, a great advantage over the iPhone 4 of that time. IMHO!
I relate 100% to your comment, mine was the same decision to make, the path I took was the same. I still miss my 5800xm, first smartphone of my life... and what to say about that beautiful SuperAMOLED, that non Pentile screen of the S2... sadly both are dead now, given or thrown. I whish, for the sake of nostalgia, I could play with them once more....
I can't believe it took till the s6 for samsung to stop using plastic. It really set them back and gave them a bad image. I also remember no one liking android. The amount of chinese cheap tablets back then made android look bad. IPhone was the phone to have back then. But without Steve jobs the company died. Its so far behind now. Watching on my z flip 4
I started with iPhone because of friends and all the raving...but THEN...WOW...my eyes were opened to the GALAXY and SII. The difference was DRAMATIC ! It was smooth, beautiful, user friendly, I did NOT need to hook it up to my computer all the time, better picture quality..more options in the settings for taking photos. I will move on a new version one day, but for now...I am a total fan...
I'm asking this purely for curiosity's sake; I own an Android phone and cannot notice this latency you are talking about, at least since I'm not looking for it. Could you point me in the right direction to find it? I'm on HTC Sense 3.6 and Android 4.0.3 if that helps.
hey did you end up getting the s2? I actually returned my s2 and got a galaxy note instead by far the best pnone ive ever had! recods in 1080p biggest screen on the market has s pen the resolution is 720 p display and the s2 i think is like 800x600 if you compare the s2 with the galaxy note you can see the pixels in the screen its crazy.. anways which one did you end up getting?
Note to the Apple fans: You would make fun of me if I said riding a bike is better than driving a car. Driving a car requires learning, when you just get on a bike and it works. The problem here for me as an Android user is that the bike costs more than the car. To elaborate for the Apple people who may not get this, the bike is iphone and the car is android. If you disagree with the analogy, then you haven't used a phone more advanced than the iphone.
I have the S2 for about 1 year now. I dropped it like 20000 times. Laptops fell on it, while cycling it fell out of my pocket and hugged the asphalt. Still, only one 1cm scratch on the screen which you won't even notice. Briliant phone.
This is actually a nice review, you don't sound really bias like so many other reviews. But you do keep talking about the iPhone 5 which has nothing to do with this review. The fact that the iPhone 5 might have a feature is not a defence or a +1 to the iPhone 4.
Watching this for nostalgia, I remember back in 2011 Android genuinely felt faster than IOS with more features and I went with the Galaxy S2 and after the Note 2. I still think Android are winning on features for sure, but IOS has come a long way in terms of speed.
it also feels like the OS war has calmed down alot, unless ur really into the tech community, just a bunch of angry indians there, don't go near them. im a casual watching this for nostalgia too.
You can remove the back of the iphone btw. You just need the right screw driver to unscrew the screws at the bottom if you ever want to change the back of it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 all the way.!!!!! i just bought one and i'm totally impressed over the Iphone 4. After fooling around with both phones i must say i was more impressed with the S2. Was it a Night and Day difference? well,,,i think it's a matter of Preference. I just happen to like the fact that i can personalize my Galaxy more than the Iphone 4 and the Galaxy has a bigger screen and is to my opinion more Crisp and Sharper and performance is for sure much better and faster.
Look, for those people who are complaining about Apple. Well, let me tell you. Apple is made for design and quality. The Iphone 4 has a great design, camera and everyone knows that Apple has one of the best touchscreens. It's easy to get, you got an Iphone or you don't, simple. Samsung has too much variety wich isn't cool anymore. Iphone stands for quality. A Galaxy will not keep it's speed for a year while the Iphone can run for years at the same touch speeds. So Apple is winning :)
It translates to having a faster phone. I support you, but this michealang1 person has a point. iphone is for simplicity and for every day users who don't care about processors or top notch things while samsung is more of a strong, feature-filled, beast.
i was an apple fanboy until 3 days ago when my iphone broke for the third and final time, i gave up and sold the damn thing, went out and got me an S2, and i have to tell you, i am CONVERTED. all those times i slagged samsung off and told everyone apple was better. i am now eating my words
Don't need to lecture him. I just don't approve people swearing on others just because we have different opinions. We learn a lot just by talking to each other, not by swearing. There are already a lot of conflicts in the world. If I'm defending the iOS, it's because I have both Android and iOS. I know what both can and cannot do. When Google solves the sound and video latency issues, only then Android will definitely have an amazing OS. That was my point all along.
in sgs2 it shows diff ram usage in taskmanager and in app tab in settings.which one is correct?which needs to be considered?my phone ram usage is very high even though i dont use many app.service center guy asked me nt to have antivirus because it causes this ram prob.but after removing tht also i have the same prob.for this reason i dnt even use fb app.this ram prb created a heck fr me.i is restricting me of my usage.is this a s/w or h/w issue?if h/w ill get a new one as ph is still in warenty
I like the S2 on Boost Mobile because it's 4G internet and HD Video recording, when I went to Sprint as a kid, I used the iphone 3GS/4(?), and It seems fun using the RUclips App. The S2 is cheap on monthly pays, while the iPhone makes it $60-100. I prefer the Galaxy S2. My honest opinion.
The Galaxy S2 was the best phone I ever had. There was nothing like it at the time, especially after it got Ice Cream Sandwich. The Galaxy Nexus was the closest to a competitor.
.... no...just...no, don't... no, if you don't know tech right, then don't correct someone on tech. the hertz, MHz, GHz, is what controls the framerate and how fast something loads into memory. basically the opposite of what you said, a higher rate can do more with the same amount of battery.
I have a problem in my device (Galaxy s2) it doesn't keep the energy inside it, when I charge it done, I started operate it, but it shows me an alert that the battery is low! And the charging takes more than 8 hours! What's going on??
Compare the Galaxy S2 LTE with the iPhone 4s. The LTE surpasses the 4s in almost every aspect. Price, functionality, durability, display, etc. Only "drawback" of the LTE is that it's a little bit bigger.. But I'm not sure if that's even considered a drawback.
iPhone 5 doesn't even have a HD screen, we do... So S3 has a better screen... S3 fits nicely in my hand, it's not made for people with surprisingly small hands. Also it may be 'big' but it's better to play games, to watch youtube/ or films when bored or travelling somewhere. Also the sound is much more clear on the S3. The same thing with S2 and iPhone 4 and 4s.
$700? mine was $200 on contract like every other flagship phone.. so i can't see how i'm being "ripped off" for using a better-engineered, better-optimized, and overall better phone. this isn't even subjective anymore, based on the points i brought up
regardless of price, which of these should i get? i've got an ipod touch and really enjoy that so i'm leaning toward the iphone, but the galaxy looks pretty sweet. any advice?
For instance, the Amplitube App is not available for Android only because of this issues. It cannot record and replay several tracks at the same time without having latency issues (like Windows), same for video VFX. For example, if you try to record a guitar plugged to your Android phone/tablet (still no accessory for that) and you record one track and then another one over that one, the tracks won't be synced when you try to listen to what you've just recorded. Try this: J4T Multitrack Recorder
also, iOS uses interrupts, prioritizing the UI thread, so if you touch the screen while the phone is doing something intensive - it pauses the task and gives full processor compute time to the touchscreen events. this is why you rarely see an iphone lag. its a difference in coding methods, not just the code itself.
How things changed. The iPhone 5 never came, Apple went to court over samsung phones looking better and stealing the market from Apple, the iPhone we got from Apple is a juiced up iPhone 4 with a little bit more memory but the 'squint one eye to see' small screen remained on the upgraded iPhone. Samsung, despite having to compete with Apple in the court room, brought out a plethora of phones including the legendary galaxy note which has sold 5 million around the world....
hey i have a prb with my sgs2.plz help me.even though there are no running apps my ram runs on 600-650mb(max 722) out of 831 which i find in taskmanager.i never click home button i use only back to make sure app closes.but still ram runs high.will this cause prbs?can this be resolved?iam kinda of scared bcause my frnd has sgs2 but his does not do the same.i can even send u screen shots of mine if u provide me ur emailid.plz help me.i searched alot but never found a solution.plz do help me.
Processor speed, 4S has got 2 cores, improved camera from 5 to 8megapixels and a redesigned antenna so it doesn't interfear with short-circuiting. It's just a better version of the 4 :P
Swap it for a standard one from your carrier OR you can fit it in a piece of hard paper/plastic in the form of a standard SIM. Search for it,there are guides on the net.
Before I make any statements, lets just get some facts straight. You are an Apple fanboy, as you have so willingly admitted. Your job as a fanboy is to defend your product blindly and reject any statement that portrays said product in a negative light, and accept any to the contrary. I cannot claim to be an android fanboy, as I own a WP7 device- and even cannot be called a fanboy of that, as I own a MacBook Pro as well as a Toshiba Thrive tablet.
Yeah, well shining-easy-to-break-glass really is worth it. Why did he say that "nonsense"? It's because that piece of plastic feels really nice in your hands, because of its texturing, and it's scratch-fingerprint resistant. BOOM, come at me bro!
I have the Galaxy S2 BUT here is one reason I feel the iphone beats my phone. One reason they NEVER EVER show when they do these comparisons. When you are talking on your iphone, and you want to go online, you CAN! When you are on your Android, most times YOU CANT! You would have to have your phone switched to 4G, and even then, 80% of the time it says 4Gzzzz and you cant go online while a phone call is in progress. So yea, I have to admit, Iphones beat our Galaxy S2 just for That reason ALONE.
I have a Galaxy S2 and depending on the pants I'm wearing, yes it can be annoying large. But it doesn't help that I have a rubber case that sticks to almost all clothes anyway. I still love it though!
i would say galaxy s 2's viewing angle is better when we consider priacy and no one is going to sit 90 degrees to the screen and use it.. i might be ignorant but correct me if higher viewing angle has advantages..
Actually no. Check PocketNow's comparison of the SGS2 vs the iPhone 4S and actually you can hear alot more "woah, the galaxy s 2 beat the iphone again" -sentences there. Trust me. I'm not trolling or trying to anger people. I just saw the video, saw what I saw and heard what I heard :) SGS = 350€, iPhone 4S = 600€ (unlocked). Funny that the SGS2 is about the same in terms of speed and specs. Half the price lol.
Specs are only numbers. Only thing important for me is HOW device works. iPhone may be worse in downloading speed, but it works much more sustainable and everything looks cool from screen rotation to swyping. And it also fits to palm better - Galaxy is toooooo big.
It's 2017. why am I Watching this?
Updated 16 July 2020
Mohammad Qunbos me too it's 2018 😂😂😂 for me

Its still like that today. The freedom and apk advantage iphone still can't offer because of there 'ecosystem'
Call me old-fashioned, but I just ordered a brand new S2 from ebay few days ago :)
Wtf
Nice!
I'm using one that I installed CM12 on to type this comment.
***** Because of sentimental reasons.
MegaBojan1993 i am not surprised. To me, ss s2 has the best design ever :)
my father has a galaxy s2 but i have a iphone 4s im gonna tell my father i give you the iphone you give me the galaxy thats a good idea.
Ur much older now Haha now there's an s10
Am I the only one in 2019 still watching this
Hereeee
Im in 2020
I’m watching from 2030
Safari is definitely smoother than samsung browser. This is no question. And browsing is very important on a phone.
No it's not. We use chromium. So quit spreading lies.
who uses the default samsung browser everyone has chrome..
i uhh never brows...
I use the defauly browser. I like it
Uhh not really we galaxy users usually use google chrome witch is way better than safari
"Robert Patterson" I don't know who this guy is!
"more natural" is a nice way of saying screen looks like shit
"contrast" means better quality
So true
+Akuma X Such bullshit.
+Elton Arteaga Screen color profiles are purely subjective.
year 2019 but I am stuck between these two phones because of the dollar rate :(
I can't believe it took till the s6 for samsung to stop using plastic. It really set them back and gave them a bad image. I also remember no one liking android. The amount of chinese cheap tablets back then made android look bad. IPhone was the phone to have back then. But without Steve jobs the company died. Its so far behind now. Watching on my z flip 4
Plastic was awesome, remember when you could take off the back panel and just swap your battery
Samsung s 2 is better.
Gs 2 is faster and has better screen. Gs2 with the dub!!!
Why is it recommended in 2019???
I'm rockin the iPhone 4 right now I want to try out one of the galaxy phones cuz they look sorta cool but I like iPhone better.
Try them trust me their better I used to love I phones I tried a galaxy and I cant see myself going back.
What u got now
@Matheus Hasquel an s9 plus 😂
galaxy note 8 the best of the times
Love how he keeps going on about iPhone 5 while now THE s3 is conming out and stil no word from Apple about new phone

Ikr

iphone 4 is waay better than S2
S2 more better !
How good is the battery life on the Galxay S2?Compared to the iPhone?
2017!!
now s2 is 20 bucks lol..but still beats all iphones even the shitty iphone 7
chupa chups No it does not lmao
Okay let's be fair. Th a galaxy s2 could have a fair comparison to the phone 5. That's still amazing.
Max no
Pocketnow channel kindly Which you will choose at that time. And why?
And kindly why the Samsung is very expensive than the iPhone ?
I started with iPhone because of friends and all the raving...but THEN...WOW...my eyes were opened to the GALAXY and SII. The difference was DRAMATIC ! It was smooth, beautiful, user friendly, I did NOT need to hook it up to my computer all the time, better picture quality..more options in the settings for taking photos. I will move on a new version one day, but for now...I am a total fan...
Is it still worth it to buy new S2 now ?
with cyanogenmod 11 its a amazing phone for very less money today. have a htc m8, but the s2 fits better in my pocket, so i still use it.
Nah
I think I might be the only one here watching the video on my S23 Ultra 😂
I'm asking this purely for curiosity's sake; I own an Android phone and cannot notice this latency you are talking about, at least since I'm not looking for it. Could you point me in the right direction to find it? I'm on HTC Sense 3.6 and Android 4.0.3 if that helps.
2:43 Lol did anyone else see that spit landing on the Galaxy SII when he said "imaging" ?
This was actually the first long review that I watched
Good job :)
hey did you end up getting the s2? I actually returned my s2 and got a galaxy note instead by far the best pnone ive ever had! recods in 1080p biggest screen on the market has s pen the resolution is 720 p display and the s2 i think is like 800x600 if you compare the s2 with the galaxy note you can see the pixels in the screen its crazy.. anways which one did you end up getting?

3:25 I believe the iPhone 4 actually had a 0.3MP camera on the front XD
Sweet VGA... I mean, at least they included one
@@barbadolid5170 Lol exactly 😂
Did u record this with a Galaxy S2? (1080p video :P )

The iPhone 4 was ahead of its time. We didn’t know it then but every modern phone copied some aspects of its design. One of the best built phones.
i bought a galaxy s2 (used) for 260 euroes. My best best trade ever. I'm so satisfied. It's just perfect.
what will i buy iphone 4s or lumia 820 or SGNote1?
at what store is the iphone 4 available for $200?
what about the size of it, isnt it uncomfortable in your pocket cause its much bigger
*Clicks on Robert Patterson* "I don't know who this guy is"
Me: ERGTHYT ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING
You can remove the back of the iphone btw. You just need the right screw driver to unscrew the screws at the bottom if you ever want to change the back of it.

Proud fanboy here too! ;-) I don't need to buy iPhone 4S or even 5 (when it comes out). The iPhone 4 is more than enough.
tell me please what they copy i really wanna know
Watching this in 2017!

where do you get the iphone 4 for 300 bucks? never seen it here!!
Can someone please tell me where u can buy. iPhone for 200 or 300 dollar
the s2 is still a good phone today. if you use the 4 today RIP
Aman Hello my uncle still uses his s2 he also has other phones but uses s2 for work

I had the iPhone 4 before it was stolen, and I just got the S II today. I gotta say the iPhone is better. I wish I still had it.
08:32 "I don't know who this guys is"
Good for you. Really.
I do really like how the Galaxy S2 is loading flash content and still monsters the test.
I have a problem in my device (Galaxy s2) it doesn't keep the energy inside it, when I charge it done, I started operate it, but it shows me an alert that the battery is low! And the charging takes more than 8 hours! What's going on??
get a new battery....
مرحبا، هل جهاز Galaxy S4 مصمم ضد الماء؟ ... احترامي
شكراً جزيلاً لكم
Oh, I'm sorry, you don't speak E?
So, I'll reform my last question
Compare the Galaxy S2 LTE with the iPhone 4s. The LTE surpasses the 4s in almost every aspect. Price, functionality, durability, display, etc. Only "drawback" of the LTE is that it's a little bit bigger.. But I'm not sure if that's even considered a drawback.

Who's watching in 2018?
I used to own an Andriod and switched to iOS. I love my iPhone and have no desire to get another droid. So now you've heard of at least one person:)
I am watching this on my iPhone and think iPhones are crap! I am going to buy a Samsung Galaxy S II in 2-3 months!
Just got an S II... Put on CM 9 Ice Cream Sandwich... My God. What a beautiful and fast phone.
Thanks for such clear information - I needed that!
Back when phone was for calling,sms, browsing
Processor speed, 4S has got 2 cores, improved camera from 5 to 8megapixels and a redesigned antenna so it doesn't interfear with short-circuiting.
It's just a better version of the 4 :P
No...
Samsung Galaxy S2 > iPhone 4
Samsung Galaxy S2 > iPhone 4s

My dad uses an iPhone 4 and I use the 1st Galaxy S with android 4.2.1 , and my device is way more responsive in most cases.
"and i dont know who this guy is" epic win!!! carry on sir..
What happened with the lock screen?!
I have a Galaxy S2 and depending on the pants I'm wearing, yes it can be annoying large. But it doesn't help that I have a rubber case that sticks to almost all clothes anyway. I still love it though!
iPhone 4 was like last year! Galaxy Sii is this year! 4s is this year! Don't compare unequal things! iPhone 4s now has an 8 mega pixel with new optics
Old Brandon Miniman. Great guy.
i would say galaxy s 2's viewing angle is better when we consider priacy and no one is going to sit 90 degrees to the screen and use it.. i might be ignorant but correct me if higher viewing angle has advantages..
Actually no. Check PocketNow's comparison of the SGS2 vs the iPhone 4S and actually you can hear alot more "woah, the galaxy s 2 beat the iphone again" -sentences there. Trust me. I'm not trolling or trying to anger people. I just saw the video, saw what I saw and heard what I heard :) SGS = 350€, iPhone 4S = 600€ (unlocked). Funny that the SGS2 is about the same in terms of speed and specs. Half the price lol.
Specs are only numbers. Only thing important for me is HOW device works. iPhone may be worse in downloading speed, but it works much more sustainable and everything looks cool from screen rotation to swyping. And it also fits to palm better - Galaxy is toooooo big.
I guess i'm the only one watching this in 2024?
