T-Mobile G2X vs Samsung Galaxy S 4G

The Samsung Galaxy S 4G and T-Mobile G2X (an LG phone rebranded for T-Mobile) are two smartphone options that you can get when you sign-up to T-Mobile. The two phones share a lot of similar features, including the use of Android as their operating system. Despite this, there are still a few features that differentiate one from the other. One difference between the G2X and the Galaxy S 4G is with their cameras. The G2X has an 8 megapixel sensor while the Galaxy S 4G is only equipped with a 5 megapixel sensor. Having a greater sensor resolution allows the camera to capture more details and create a bigger picture without the use of interpolation.

Another difference between the G2X and Galaxy S 4G is the amount of internal memory. The G2X has 8GB of internal storage while the Galaxy S 4G only has 1GB. Samsung supplements this lack of storage by shipping a 16GB memory card with the Galaxy S 4G. This gives the Galaxy S 4G more memory at the start. But if you want to expand, you have to swap your 16GB memory card with something of bigger capacity. With the G2X, you can just add a memory card and still have your 8GB storage space.

The FM radio is almost a given for most smartphones nowadays, with a few notable exceptions like the iPhone. The G2X also has one with basic features like RDS. In comparison, the Galaxy S 4G doesn’t have one. You can still use a data connection for internet radio or just go with the built-in music player and your saved songs.

Lastly, the Galaxy S 4G seems to be more power hungry than the G2X. The Galaxy S 4G has a bigger 1650mAH battery to the 1500mAH battery of the G2X. But, the former only manages 6.5 hours of talk time or 300 hours of standby. Considerably less than the 7.5 hours of talk time and 400 hours standby time of the latter. You should consider how long an interval you have to go before you can charge. Constant travellers may prefer the longer battery life while ordinary users don’t really care much.

Summary:

1.The G2X has a better camera than the Galaxy S 4G
2.The G2X has more internal memory than the Galaxy S 4G
3.The G2X has an FM radio while the Galaxy S 4G doesn’t
4.The Galaxy S 4G is more power hungry than the G2X
