Sony Xperia S vs. Samsung Galaxy S II: S-hootout

09 March 2012
Released nearly a year apart, the Sony Xperia S and the Samsung Galaxy S II are not that different - both are flagship droids with dual-core CPUs and 4.3" screens. But the newer Xperia S brings some fine upgrades, like a 12MP camera and a 720p screen.

      You need 3rd party apps like skype or yahoo messenger. Sony still the best tho. Xperia S now supported by AOSP just like Nexus series.

          Xperia S is better... unless you simply must have a 2MP front camera, LOL.

          And the Xperia S is now cheaper than the Galaxy S2.
          That makes the choice pretty easy if you're after a mid range smart phone.

            From your review of these two; ''Also, they have front-facing cameras - the Samsung offers a 2MP camera (but can't record video), while the Sony shoots 1.3MP stills or 720p video.'' :s seriously? U guys think Samsung Galaxy SII can't record video with its front camera? :s Well, once u guys obviously don't know, let me tell; s2 CAN record 480p videos with its front cam :/

                      Memo UK, 23 Jul 2012Go and check gsmarena compression test which clearly stated... moreNo. It was a little better in some way, yet the GS2 way more than held it's own being that it was a year older.

Im quite happy to see that their phones seem to have much better quality than some of their other electronics like play stations, and psp's.

                                    Hey guys, I currently own a Nokia E5 and wanna buy a new phone, and I'm here to know your opinion. Should I get the Xperia S or the Samsung Galaxy S II? In my opinion, the Xperia S is better because it has a higher resolution screen, more PPI, faster and better processor, and a better camera. But I'm looking for the faster phone for games with no lag and fluid applications. Which do you prefer??? Please reply to this, I'm curious to know your opinion.
