Samsung Galaxy S2 Vs Nokia N9















Design &Build Quality:
Looks like Nokia gave out their best on this one. Nokia N9 comes with a stunningly beautiful design and attractive colors. plastic is not used at all and this one is expected from Nokia. On the other hand, Galaxy S2 doesn't look that impressive which i also mentioned in some of the previous comparisons. Galaxy S2 is made of plastic and less resistant to falls.

Winner: Nokia N9

Screen Size/Display:
Nokia N9 comes with a 3.9 inch screen, AMOLED display, FWVGA resolution. on the other hand, Galaxy S2 comes with a 4.3-inch, Super-AMOLED display with almost near resolution. Both have a Gorilla glass that can resist scratches.

Winner: Galaxy S2 slightly edges out here.

Processor:
Nokia N9 (or MeeGo if it is) failed badly to give a competition on this one. They are running on a OMAP 3630 TI Chipset with ARM cortex A8 processor (single core) and a decent PowerVR SGX530 GPU.

Galaxy S2 is running on Exynos Chipset made by Samsung or Tegra 2 from NVidia (available in both the models) clocked at 1.2GHz (dual core) using Mali 400MP GPU.

Winner: Samsung Galaxy S2

Camera:
Both feature a 8MP primary camera that can do decent still photography and comes with the features like Geo Tagging, touch-focus, auto focus, dual led. it's a tie here.

Coming to the Video part, Samsung Galaxy S2 can do a recording of 1080p while N9 is only limited to 720p

Winner: Samsung Galaxy S2

Memory: 
Nokia N9 beats Galaxy S2 on this one. Both have an internal 16GB memory/32GB models but Nokia N9 is expandable to 64GB memory. so, Nokia N9 is the winner here.

Winner: Nokia N9

Eco System and Apps:
Considering MeeGo as a comparatively new OS, i will give Android the score on this one which has a vast App Store and the internet Giant's support.

Winner: Galaxy S2/Android

Battery Life:
Nokia could have done better here. Galaxy S2 offers a 710Hr/610Hr standby and 18Hr/8.5Hr talktime in 2G and 3G respectively where as Nokia N9 lasts for 380Hr/450Hr standby and 11Hr/7Hr talk-time.

Winner: Galaxy S2

Verdict: Galaxy S2 beats Nokia N9 in almost all the key categories. The only scope for Nokia N9 to sell would be the pricing factor. Go ahead Nokia. Give it a best shot on this one. May be a 20k-23k pricetag would do the magic.
