Apple iPhone 4S
Price:
44500
Digit Rating: Good
Features:
Performance:
Value:
Design:
4/5
PROS
- More power
- Siri adds a fun element
- iOS 5 brings in a lot of new features
- Higher spec camera does very well
CONS
- Looks exactly like the iPhone 4
- Costs a lot of money
Summary
Contrary to what the general opinion suggests, the upgrades are significant. While the dual core processor may not give the illusion of the extra power when compared to the 4 in most usage scenarios, but the moment you open HD games, you know what you have spent the extra money for! The only thing that disappoints - you will have to specify to people that you are using a 4S and not the older 4. It is a bundle of magnificence, but does come dressed in old clothes, and costs quite a bit.RELATED STORIES

What was
an atmosphere of anticipation soon turned into one of mass
disappointment, accompanied by a lot of swearing. Instead of the iPhone
5, Apple announced the launch of the iPhone 4S. Which is a rehashed version of the iPhone 4. For the most part!
Look & Feel
The single biggest reason for the groans of disappointment is mostly because the 4S looks so much like the previous iPhone.
Not that it is a bad thing at all, considering the solid build and
comfortable to hold design. What it does is doesn’t really offer that
stand out-ish feel. Two people side by side, one using an iPhone 4 and the other is using an iPhone 4S - yet you wont be able to make out the difference.

Samsung Galaxy S II
Samsung Galaxy S II
Price:
32890
Digit Rating: Good
Features:
Performance:
Value:
Design:
4/5
PROS
- Excellent display, with vivid colours
- Very slim design, and amazingly lightweight
- Android never felt faster!
- Good camera
- Excellent battery life
CONS
- Plasticky build is a huge disappointment
- TouchWiz 4.0 UI isn't feature rich or polished like the HTC Sense
- Dependence on Kies desktop software is a painful iTunes-esque experience
Summary
What Samsung have managed to package together is a dual core processor, and a lot of other goodies in an unbelievably slim and light form factor. While the plasticky feel is a bit of a disappaointment, the performance on offer will simply blow you away. For anyone who does a lot of gaming on the smartphone, or want a powerful phone, the S II may just be phone for you. If you have Rs 32,890 to spend at this moment, we suggest you order it right away. This is slightly on the expensive side at the moment, and you may choose to wait and watch what happens with the prices in the next month or so. Alternatively, the LG Optimus 2X is also worth checking out, if you want a dual core powered phone which costs a bit less.RELATED STORIES

After the superb Galaxy S, Samsung has
their job pretty much cut out, as far as making the successor is
concerned. After having warmed up with the Nexus S smartphone (Read
review here), Samsung were in form when it came to putting together the
Samsung Galaxy S II. And no doubt they needed to be in top form, since
the Galaxy S II is one of the very first dual core processor powered
smartphones, and needs to compete with the dual core phone from the
Korean rivals, LG the Optimus 2X. We were impressed with the performance
offered by the Optimus 2X (Read review here),
but felt that it was a little understated in terms of the punch offered
by the dual core processor, and it felt big and heavy to hold, use and
carry. While we know it’s a dual core, but it feels like an HTC
Incredible S (Read review here) or the Samsung Nexus S (Read review here), in most usage scenarios.
The LG Optimus 2X offered a lot of power, but it seemed hidden most of the time! Which is why we were looking forward to seeing how the slightly more power will respond on the Galaxy S II.
Look and feel: Surprisingly slim, unbelievably light.
Admittedly, the Samsung Galaxy S II surprised us with its extremely slim form factor and the fact that it is the lightest of all Android smartphones we have tested recently, albeit by quite a margin. The likes of the Samsung Google Nexus S and the HTC Incredible S are heavier by quite some margin. However, let us not forget that the HTC Incredible S did have a stronger body, and so did the Google Nexus S. No wonder the S II has even piped the extremely sleek Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc by 1 gram!
