The longer Apple delays iPhone 5’s launch, the better for Samsung’s Galaxy S II

[danDroid]

Apple disappointed its fans by not introducing the iPhone 5 at WWDC thus implying that its fifth-generation smartphone would not be released any time soon. But a possible delay for the world’s most awaited handset only makes Samsung grin from ear to ear. Samsung is planning to launch its Galaxy S II worldwide next month, hoping to make undecided iOS potential customers actually purchase Galaxy S II, IBTimes reported. And they may indeed choose Samsung’s smartphone over Apple’s since the Cupertino-based giant is silent as a tomb about the iPhone 5 and people’s patience is now at an end. Galaxy S II is a „superphone”, according to its nickname, therefore whatever smartphone Apple brings on the market it will be a hard act to follow.


Galaxy S II is 8.5mm (0.33-inch) thick and weighs only 4 ounces. To compare, the iPhone 4 is bulkier and heavier (yes, you have heard that right) measuring 9.3 mm and weighing 4.8 ounces. Apple is therefore challenged to manufacture a slimmer and lighter smartphone.Samsung’s smartphone brings a 4.3-inch 800x480p AMOLED display and is operated by a dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor. The phone offers a dual camera system – an 8MP main camera and a 2 MP secondary cam. Whatever Apple brings, it has to outrun these specs. The iPhone 5 could be powered by the A4 chip used in iPhone 4 or by the dual-core A5 chip, recent rumors suggest. Omnivision and Sony will supply the 8MP camera sensors, DigiTimes recently reported.

If there is anything Apple could use to beat Galaxy S II it is iOS 5. The new OS brings mind-blowing features which definitely make Apple stand out in the crowd and this is the only element that can determine Apple’s fans to wait a bit longer.
