Screen

Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2011)Pages look nice on the ample 4” SuperAMOLED display, although it’s not the same experience as on the bigger, superior SuperAMOLED Plus screen.

Video
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2011)A faster GPU is better for playing high-quality games and videos in the browser so it's definitely a plus - just not for the Galaxy S Plus.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jun, 2011)The video player app has a nice and simple interface that automatically disappears when not used to allow you to enjoy your videos in their full shine.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2011)The Galaxy S Plus is still stuck on the old 5MP camera, 720p video recording and the old PenTile SuperAMOLED screen.
Camera

Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2011)In terms of image quality, the Galaxy S Plus offers no advantage over the original Galaxy S - the sensor is exactly the same and produces the exact same results as the one on the original Galaxy S. In short, it’s not the best 5 MP camera around.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2011)The Xperia Arc boasts a bigger Bravia engine display, a superior 8 MP camera and the impressive exterior of a true flagship.
Cpu
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | Rated 80% by by Hendrik-DelagrangeThis is an upgrade of the well-known Galaxy S. It has a faster processor and a better battery.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jun, 2011)An overclocked single-core chipset doesn’t hold a candle to dual core CPUs but the Galaxy S Plus will be held to a different standard.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jun, 2011)In the case of our test unit, the Snapdragon processor is clocked at 1.2 GHz, which isn’t what the final result will look like.
Battery
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jun, 2011)We’re yet to see though whether the new model will be able to match the standby and talks times of the original Galaxy S. The back panel and 1650 MAh Li-Ion battery.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | by GSM Arena (Jul, 2011)Some of the live ones look pretty cool on the SuperAMOLED display but they do tend to drain your battery.
Samsung Galaxy S Plus | Rated 20% by by Taisir-Emeish (Apr, 2013)Recently it will now only charge through the computer usb it will not charge through a wall charger.
