Rated 83% by by c|net (May, 2011)Obviously, its large size will mean it won't appeal to everybody, but if you're OK with that, you'll get a beautiful screen for browsing the Web and watching video, good performance, and decent battery life.
by GSM Arena (Jul, 2010)But there’s much more: a 1GHz chip, two cameras, HD video and of course the Retina display – the highest-res screen we’ve seen so far on a GSM phone.
Conclusion Which is better for you?

iOS 6 3.5G
by GSM Arena (Jul, 2010)Color rendering is quite nice though oversaturated and in broad daylight there’s plenty of resolved detail.

Infuse 4G by Sir-Coogs-A-LotThis could be a great smartphone - it's got a big beautiful display and lots of features.
screen resolution
Infuse 4G by GSM Arena (May, 2011)The images captured with the 8MP camera of the Infuse 4G are very good – low noise, plenty of fine detail and the color and contrast are good too.
iPhone 4 by GhenghisBTW, the display is the equivalent of a 960x640 on your desktop so what you see is essentially a high res yield and page loads are superfast.

processor
Infuse 4G by E.-Brown--EB (Aug, 2011)DUAL CORE: No, it's not dual core... and neither is the Nexus One or the iPhone 4 & those phones multi-task quite well.
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

Infuse 4G by The Verge (May, 2011)One of the best parts of this phone is its 8 megapixel cameraOne of the best parts of this phone is its 8 megapixel camera.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Infuse 4G vs Apple iPhone 4
cpu speed
iPhone 4 by D.-Gong (Jun, 2011)I will not repeat the most common positive review points about this phone (i.e. great display, good looks, good camera, speedy processor, good library of apps).
browser benchmark
Infuse 4G by The Verge (May, 2011)It’s not as fast to launch apps or rotate the screen as dual-core phones like the Atrix, but it isn’t going to slow you down by any means.
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)The new phone scored a 2246.8 in SunSpider, while the original iPhone 4 clocked in at just 3591.3.
download speed
Infuse 4G by Mike-K (Jun, 2011)* 3G Speed: It's not as fast as a PC, (I'm spoiled by cable internet for download speed), but 3G seems to be plenty fast.
iPhone 4 by Ghenghis (Dec, 2010)And BTW, I don't know if its due to network improvements or what but lately I'm getting 4Mbps download speeds so if anything I'm happier with my purchase now than I was 4 months ago.
talk time
480 min
840 min
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.
