Nokia N9 vs. Samsung Galaxy S 2

Hi
Why didn´t you compare the same spec´s as you did with the N9 - Iphone?

if you compare android and meego, meego is better, N9 resolution is better 480 x 800 is less than 854 x 480. Meego is faster. the news is about samgsun galaxy sII and Nokia N9 and at the end you talk about Iphone.. I didn't know where is the iphone title on the post. you are an iphone fan that's all. It will be better if you talk about you iphone toy.

This is an one sided article. I am using both and if I say true that Nokia N9 is much more than samsung. The writer skips many specifications cleverly.

both are great phones, but N9 will be mine.

here a better comparison

N9 has a stunning DSP(in certain tasks its much more powerful, than a second core) and I guess it also has better battery life in the long run. I'm interested on music making on the go, and surprise surprise, N9 has already better software available, even before launch. Also the SG2 camera is weak compared to N9, which is much more meaningful for me, than two cores in Android ecosystem. Due to the hegemony, I think this will not be a massive hit, and it might also be a last of the mohicans, but it doesn't matter to me, N9 is vastly better product for me.

You can speak as much as you want! NOTHING ... BUT NOTHING will make me stop to get that phone! +D

...even if I need to steal a SSG2 and an iphone so I can sell it to guys like the autor of this POST! and them with the money ..buy an N9 !!!!

This is one horrible comparison...

This is a pretty bad article. The author seems all over the place, there is no substance, and this talk about samsung continuing Meego... where did that come from? It is old news and has long ago been rebutted by samsung as being bull.

Oh dear oh dear

Didn't go beyond the res spec in the comparison. Do the math - more pixels over a smaller screen will obviously give better results than less pixels spread over a bigger screen, so how is the SG II better in that aspect??

No offence. But this is by far one of the worst comparisons I have ever seen. The author basically wanted the Samsung to win. Where ever Nokia was winning, the author didn't bother giving a verdict or made Nokia win. Nokia has a ClearBlack AMOLED screen not just a normal AMOLED. A 3.9 in is better than 4.3 in cuz it's easier to reach the corners of the phone. I dont get why 480x800 pixels of Samsung are better than the 480x854 pixels of the Nokia. Plus, Nokia has more pixel density which is a good thing. N9 has a MUCH better camera than the Samsung. The dimensions of the Nokia are better even though it weighs a bit more. Android does have more apps but I highly doubt you need all of them. The important ones are covered everywhere. The web browser of the Nokia is FAR better than that of Android. The processor depends on OS. If the OS cant handle the processor then it's not good enough. Android needs a dual core to operate properly while MeeGo doesn't. N9 has NFC everywhere in every country. Samsung doesn't.

The real shame here isn't Rohan's decidedly shaky comparison…although the SG 2 is quite a beast…rather it's that Nokia dumped Maemo/Meego for W7! I mean Android is dull but W7….! I will buy the N9 because it runs an OS and UI that are streets ahead of iOS and Android. Like maaku above, my N900 still rocks.

All users of nokia, just go to ur mommy and ask her to breastfeed you, you all just seeing the screen?
Compare everything else..and btw would you push nfc to ur girlfriend's pussy...??
See the processor..chipset..bluetooth..video recording..wifi functionalities..no where does nokia n9 stand near samsung galaxy s2.
Plus the future of android is vast..but meego has gone as it came..you all have bought n9 or are nokia fans who have never used android so are saying this..just noobs..that are you all..

nokia n9 is better than i phone

I red the phone has a Bluetooth 4.0 hardware, but the BT stack wasn't ready. The next update (PR1.1, available for n950 coming soon for n9) will use the BT4.0 capability.

It also sports image stabilisation, continuous autofocus in video, face detection and offer a nice feature: the photo captor is circular, it means that between 4/3, 3/2 and 16/9 formats, the resolution never fall under 8 and 7Mp.

You forget a very important point: the autonomy: with its 1450mah battery, the n9 lasts longer than a GSII.

apart from the font size, n9 is the big brother

jaiconruedas, I can usually resist replying to posts like your's, but .... How long do you think you'll use a new smartphone, max 5 years? Intel are still behind meego, as well as a stack of free software developers. How can a phone be both 'good out of the box' and a 'crap phone' at the same time? Faster smoother better after 6 months? You must be expecting some spectacular updates for the Samsung. Also, smart people don't worry a bit when complete twats 'laugh at their stuff', they just feel a sort of sad sympathy for the poor frightened child that's laughing.

I read all these reviews and comments about smart phones ... But everybody seems to be missing the main point !!!. Your Mobile phone is first and foremost a mobile Telecomunications device, it's for making and recieving phone calls when your not at home. This is not a "legacy" function as one commentator said, but the primary reason we all have a mobile phone !!.
So my issue is what is the battery life ??. A phone with a flat battery is useless, just more junck to carry around !!. Is it because the battery life is total crap ??. I hear about people recharging their Iphones not just once a day, but 2, 3 and even four times a day !!!. Just in normal use, that's hardly mobile if you need to keep finding a power point to plug it into, is it !!!!!.

i have nokia n9
i saw meego run android softwares in many places but it is wrong, i tried but doesnt work.

I'm with you Matt. I have to make a choice TODAY between N9 and SGII. Help? I just want a reliable phone, easy to use, takes good photos and nav would be helpful. I don't understand all the technical stuff but need basic, non-techo advice ... N9 or SGII?

Hello i am not being able to comment to this site, don't know why, perhaps comment is too long, i am on facebook. The name is 'Seraphial DarknessRocker Deathoniak'..plz contact me if you want to know, because what i wanted to comment shows that s2 beats nokia n9

At Comment number 7, niningo,
you wrote a website of gsmarena...i entered it and you know what you were comparing n9 with? It was with galaxy Y, not galaxy s2...so dats y u said n9 is better while the truth is that s2 is better...

Hey niningo, you did not write the website well, i have just compared these two phones on gsmarena, and you can easily deduce that s2 is better than n9...thos people who are blaming the author don't know anything, don't listen to them..s2 is better than n9..and about the pixel, its s2 is 217 while n9 is 251, no big difference,here is the website

Comment number 23, edge...i totally agree with you...because thats the main thing that must be compared in a phone to see which one is better...

Sory for commenting so much folks, its just that i love mobile technology and i don't like it when people say a phone better than another phone which is better than the phone they mentioned to be better

The N9 has 802.11a/b/g/n wifi by the way, it has carl zuiess optics, It has Dolby sound,

The os change the phone, alright i agree, meego beats android, but does nokia provide any good things, NO, nokia just uses ovi store again..what do people like? A phone with nothing extra with it apart calling and messaging, or cool applications? Well android has it! If u don't study technology, don't post unesscesary comments...i use both phones and i know what am telling yot about

Many say n9 can use android, but its an UPGRADE, and it is still not sure that it will support android..you cannot compare an upgraded phone with a phone which has no upgrade yet, what if Alex starts working on sgs2 and gives it meego to run?

Know what, my n9 has an android theme. Looks just like those on sites with n9 with android..

Also using nC7. Btw n10 coming soon with triple boot originally. Can beat many new phones

Btw author, u missed something, both SGS2 and N9 have wifi a/b/g/n

i owned an n9 month,but just got sgs2,and its very good ,s2 has a greAter speed and better multitasking,and als0 hd camera lets me view vid&photos on my hd tv,i love my sgs2,n9 is good but its sort of boring and s2 drools with excitment!
