Mossberg: Samsung Galaxy phones are worthy iPhone rivals, except for…

"Samsung, has begun rolling out an impressive new line of iPhone competitors that run on Android," Walter S. Mossberg writes for The Wall Street Journal.

"I’ve been testing the first two Galaxy S phones, the T-Mobile Vibrant and the AT&T Captivate, both of which cost $200 with a two-year contract," Mossberg writes. "Neither has all the features of Apple’s latest model, like a front-facing camera for video calls or an ultra–high resolution screen, but they are worthy competitors."

MacDailyNews Take: So far, they're "worthy iPhone competitors" unless you want to do FaceTime video calling or look at a screen that isn't a mass of noticeable pixels (hence, blurrier/nowhere near as sharp).

Mossberg continues, "For Android phone makers, a key challenge is to differentiate their models from others offering the same operating system. Samsung has chosen to do so by combining a design that’s almost as thin as the iPhone 4 with a generous, four-inch screen. That’s significantly bigger than the iPhone’s 3.5-inch display, but smaller than the huge 4.3-inch screen on the Evo and the new Motorola (MOT) Droid X, which would force the phones to be larger... The screen on the Galaxy S is based on a different technology than those on most other smartphones. It’s called Super AMOLED, and Samsung claims it has better color reproduction, contrast, outdoor visibility and brightness. To my eye, the Galaxy S screens did look very good, but seemed no better, indoors or outdoors, than the iPhone 4’s screen and were slightly less sharp."

MacDailyNews Take: Dear Mr. Mossberg,

Please make an appointment with your eye doctor ASAP.

If you can't see the blatant resolution difference between iPhone 4 and Samsung's Galaxy knockoffs, we very much fear for your eyesight.

Και λίγα του λένε του Walter S. Mossberg. Πολύ λίγα! Έλεος δηλαδή που υπάρχει ανταγωνισμός για το iPhone 4. Εδώ δεν έχουν ανταγωνισμό για το iPhone 3GS ακόμη...
