It is a long time since the two smartphones-Nokia N8 and Samsung Galaxy S came into the market, The Nokia N8 has been proving itself to be a major contender and has won a couple of big phone combats previously. But will it win over the leading smartphone-The Samsung Galaxy S? as Samsung Galaxy S being one of the best Android handsets, it's actually a challenging task for the N8 to beat it. Below let us see some comparisons between these two phones.
1. Appearance
The Nokia N8 and the Samsung Galaxy S are both touchscreen-only devices with outstanding workmanship. The Samsung Galaxy S wows you and is extremely thin at just 0. 39 inches (9. 9 mm), compared to the Nokia N8's 0. 51 inches (12. 9 mm). The Nokia N8 is crafted from a single sheet of anodized aluminum, offering it a certain amount of heft, while the Samsung Galaxy S is definitely produced from plastic, making it more lightweight, lighter and less rigid than metal.
2. Display
The Samsung Galaxy S sports a 480x800 pixel Super AMOLED display, while the Nokia N8 phones in with a typical AMOLED display with a 360x640 pixel resolution. Due to the Super AMOLED tech, the Galaxy S offers unbelievably high-contrast ratio, fantastic viewing angles and better visibility in direct sunlight. Nonetheless, Nokia has done a great job, and the display will be decent outside.
3. Performance:
As far as performance goes, the N8's core uses a 680MHz ARM 11 chip, while the Galaxy S runs on the ARM Cortex A8 processor, rated at 1GHz. The Nokia N8 uses Symbian, while the Galaxy S runs Android 2. 1. The major disadvantage for the Nokia N8 and all Symbian phones is the uncertainty of Symbian's future. Whereas Google's Android is gobbling up market share like a pack of hungry, hippos, Symbian is on a steep decline.
4. Navigation and User Interface
Both of these mobile operating systems are outstanding smartphone platforms, with mobile web browsing, pinch to zoom, navigation and maps, excellent keyboards and multitasking. However, Android tends to do this with a little bit more finesse and eye candy. Nokia's Symbian platform is functional, but Android is just more touch-friendly and easy to use.
5. Video Playback
Speaking of video playback, both handsets support a large number of formats, including DivX/Xvid, and the chipsets are powerful enough to play HD resolutions without notable issues. The big, brilliant screen of the Samsung Galaxy S undoubtedly has the upper hand for observing videos on the go. You may not want to waste the large number of online videos since you have this powerful Samsung Galaxy S. As the world's most famous website, it is not surprised that YouTube comes to your first choice to watch videos. But as a portable device, it still has the limitation of video and audio formats. For people who want to enjoy online videos on it, but when you are out for a journey, internet connectivity would have been a barrier for you to enjoy online videos. Here I suggest a third party software-YouTube Downloader , which is fit for users to accelerate and download YouTube to Samsung Galaxy S as well as Nokia N8 and watch YouTube videos while on the move.
Nokia and Samsung are two of the leading handset suppliers worldwide. So now that we've compared the two companies' flagship smartphones, it seems like both offerings are worth your while. Again, it is up to you to decide which features you need the most, but either way you'll end up owning one helluva smarphone.
