Rated 86% by by The Verge (Oct, 2011)The display on the 4S is Apple’s well regarded 960 x 640 Retina Display, and it looks no less impressive now than it did when the iPhone 4 was first released.
Conclusion Which is better for you?
Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Stellar compared to the Apple iPhone 4
GHz1.2
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich 4G
Rated 70% by by c|net (Sep, 2012)What makes this phone such a great option, though, is that Samsung and Verizon aren't tossing you scraps; the Galaxy Stellar is fully loaded with 4G LTE, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, a dual-core processor, a 4-inch display, and camera technology that delivers quality outdoor shots, though not a high megapixel count.
0.8 GHz
iOS 6 3.5G
Rated 100% by by Austin (Nov, 2012)It is the perfect weight although the glass finish makes it slippery in the hand.
screen size
3.4"
3.5"
Galaxy Stellar by c|net (Sep, 2012)It's fine for the Stellar's screen size, where icons and text look typically sharp and bright on the automatic brightness setting.
screen resolution
Galaxy Stellar by c|net (Sep, 2012)Holding and pressing a capacitive touch key won't bring up voice actions, but you'll have your choice of two assistants.
iPhone 4 by Pat (Aug, 2012)The retina display is seriously amazing, and I still haven't seen a phone that truly matches the crispness of this display.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.77 GB | 0.8 GB |
processor
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)On paper, it may not stand up to the latest and greatest Android phone with 4G radios, a massive screen, and a screaming 1.5GHz dual-core CPU — but in use, it’s easily one of the most capable handsets on the market.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
Galaxy Stellar by c|net (Sep, 2012)The Samsung Galaxy Stellar's 3.2-megapixel camera takes good outdoor photos.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Stellar vs Apple iPhone 4
cpu speed
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)As far as processor performance is concerned, the iPhone 4S isn’t kidding around… though don’t expect mind-blowing speed differences between this device and its predecessor.
talk time
1,020 min
840 min
Galaxy Stellar by c|net (Sep, 2012)The Stellar's 2,100mAh battery seems more than equipped to handle daily functions, and anecdotally, this felt like a longer-lasting phone.
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)In fact, Apple claims that the new phone is capable of an extra hour of talk time while on 3G.
