COMPARISON : Samsung Google Nexus S vs Samsung Galaxy S II



Samsung may have made Google's Nexus S but their own handsets pull no punches. We take a look at how the Nexus fares against the Samsung Galaxy S II


Published on Mar 18, 2011


Form:
We pitch the phone Samsung helped Google create, the Nexus S, against Samsung’s own top dog, the Galaxy S II.
Samsung Galaxy S II - 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm, 116g
Samsung Google Nexus S - 123.9 x 63 x 10.9 mm, 129g
There’s something about the dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S II which is very appealing, like looking at the lines of a Ford Mustang it is elegant in its simplicity.
The S II is also very light and one of the thinnest handsets on the market, two elements which work well in its favour.
The Nexus S, on the other hand, isn’t going to win many beauty contests, it may be compact but it’s also quite hefty and the very rounded-off styling doesn’t help its aesthetic at all.
Winner – Samsung Galaxy S II

Display:
The Nexus features a 4-inch Samsung Super Amoled capacitive touchscreen at 480x800 pixel resolution which has a contoured curved glass screen with an oleophobic surface, meaning it repels oily finger prints.
Other features include multi-touch input, accelerometer and gyro sensors.
The Galaxy S II also uses Samsung’s Super Amoled capacitive touchscreen technology, this time it’s a 4.3-inch screen but still at 480 x 800 resolution.
The Galaxy’s screen uses toughened ‘Gorilla Glass’ to prevent cracks and scratches and features multi-touch, gyro and accelerometer sensors.
It also uses the TouchWiz 4.0 user interface and Swype text input.
These handsets have quite similar display setups so we’re going to have to distinguish them in other categories while calling this one a draw.
Winner - Draw

Storage:
The Galaxy S II has a couple of options for storage and comes in either 16 GB or 32 GB flavours and has 1 GB of RAM, it also supports Micro SD cards up to 32 GB.
The Nexus S has a reasonable 16 GB of on-board storage but not 32 GB option to keep up with the Galaxy, it’s also behind on RAM with only 512 MB.
Lastly, horror of horrors, it has no card support whatsoever.
You could probably see this one coming a mile off but the Galaxy S II is clearly superior when it comes to storage capacity and options.
Winner – Samsung Galaxy S II

Processor:
The Galaxy S II is a beast when it comes to raw power, it’s one of the most forward-looking handsets around at the moment with a 1 GHz dual core ARM Cortex-A9 processor based on the Orion chipset and paired with a Mali-400MP graphics processing unit (GPU).
This arrangement will eat up most anything you can throw at it.
While it’s true that current Android builds are not optimised for dual-core it still doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a very powerful piece of kit which will still run well on its native OS, and as later versions of Android are pegged to take full advantage of dual-core processors it makes the S II a sensible choice for the future.
Google’s Nexus S is amply provided for with the same ARM Cortex heritage, this time it is a single core model, a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the predecessor to the Galaxy’s A9, featuring the Hummingbird chipset and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
There’s nothing wrong with this phone’s processing power, it is reasonably powerful and adequate enough to run many current apps and games, it also allows the phone to take advantage of Gingerbread’s improved multitasking and browsing.
However, having said all that it isn’t in the same league as the Galaxy S II.




Operating System:
Both phones run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread which is a great choice in each case as they’re both powerful enough to take advantage of many of its enhanced features, including smoother browsing and an improved keyboard, as well as the customisation and efficient multitasking the Android platform is famed for.
Hopefully future versions of Android will live up to speculation and optimise dual-core processor use as this will improve the already impressive performance of the S II on the Android OS.
Winner - Draw

Camera:
The Samsung Galaxy S II really excels on the camera front with a substantial 8-megapixel primary camera capturing at 3264x2448 resolution and 1080p.
The Galaxy’s camera features include autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, geo-tagging and image stabilisation, plus face and smile recognition.
There’s also a 2-megapixel secondary camera.
The Nexus S has a fairly mid-range camera setup with a 5-megapixel primary at 2560 x 1920 resolution, video capture is WVGA.
An LED flash, autofocus, touch focus and geo-tagging are all part of the package.
This is a perfectly acceptable camera arrangement but it pales in comparison to the Galaxy S II purely because of raw figures and the number of extra features the Samsung brings to the table.
Winner - Samsung Galaxy S II

Apps:
Apps are an area in which both these phones do well, they both have the latest Android operating system which means full access to the thousands of apps on the Android Marketplace with few, if any, compatibility issues.
They’ve also both got the power to run most of what you’ll find out there at the moment very well indeed, the Galaxy S II certainly excels at this though and will do better at it than the Nexus, moreover it will be achieving this level of performance with contemporary apps for some time to come.
The same can probably not be said of the Nexus but for now it is certainly competent enough.
The Galaxy wins this round purely because its bigger and better processing power makes it more future proof on the app side of things and it will run the same apps as the Nexus only better, but the Nexus still gets an honourable mention app-wise.
Winner – Samsung Galaxy S II

Final Thoughts:
Not entirely an even contest but we feel the Nexus put up a good fight, it has shown in some areas that while it cannot beat the Galaxy S II it can certainly make a good go of it.
It’s mainly held up by its processing power and operating system which make it a good phone right now but it won’t stay this way for too long, where the Galaxy will just keep on going and be a desirable handset for some time.
We have to say the Galaxy S II is the better of the two devices but the Nexus is still a good phone, even if it does have ambitions to be a circle


Winner – Samsung Galaxy S II
