Comparison: samsung galaxy s advance vs samsung galaxy s
A new member of the Galaxy family has arrived in the Samsung catalog. It is the Samsung Galaxy S Advance, yet another version of the veteran terminal that was presented in 2010 and that came to revolutionize the world of smartphones with Google's mobile platform: Android. Time has passed and now in 2012, the famous Galaxy family continues to bet on new mobiles capable of satisfying customers in all sectors: from the most demanding to those who want an intelligent mobile with which they can be connected at all times and be able to easily manage your activity on the Internet, whether through social networks, email or instant messaging.
Next we are going to see what aspects Samsung has improved in the new terminal comparing it with the original model - that which began to be called Samsung Galaxy S - and of which more than two versions have already been seen without changing anything about its exterior. instead with Samsung Galaxy S Advance things change. But for this, let's see part by part what differences exist between the two teams:
Design and display
One of the main changes that can be seen in the new Samsung Galaxy S Advance is that its design is curved. Samsung has followed the line that began with the Nexus S - Google's second official mobile phone - and has implemented it in the new terminal. Light screens are both terminals of four inches with a reaching resolutions 480 x 800 pixels. In addition, the panels are of the Super AMOLED type, which guarantees a good viewing experience.
Meanwhile, in the measurements and weight differences can also be found; Samsung Galaxy S Advance weighs more: 120 grams compared with 119 grams of the Galaxy S. But the latest model from the South Korean company is slimmer. Its thickness is 9.69 millimeters compared to 9.9 millimeters for the original model.
Connectivity
In both cases we are dealing with advanced mobiles capable of connecting to the Internet by various means such as high-speed Wi-Fi wireless points or with the latest generation 3G networks. In addition, we must also add the possibility of sharing files with other computers with the use of bluetooth technology or being able to guide us through streets or highways thanks to the GPS receiver.
On the other hand, there are also physical connections such as a microUSB port with which to synchronize and charge the battery. Or an audio output 3.5 mm where cable connecting headphones or speakers. That is, in this section the two mobiles have the same type of connections.
Photo camera
In the case of the cameras that equip the two models, it should be said that they use a five mega-pixel sensor that is capable of recording high definition videos of up to 720p. However, the difference is that Samsung Galaxy S does not come with an integrated Flash, while the new model - Samsung Galaxy S Advance - does have it and is LED.
In addition, in the front there are cameras to be able to make videoconferences with the contacts. Galaxy S carries a VGA, while the resolution of the Galaxy S Advance amounts to 1.3 megapixels.
Power and memory
Other aspects that are reinforced in Samsung Galaxy S Advance are the sections of its processor and its internal memory. While Samsung Galaxy S carries a single-core processor with a frequency of one GHz, Samsung Galaxy S Advance has the same frequency multiplied by two. That is, it equips a dual-core processor.
For its part, the RAM memory also increases in the new model, going from 512 MB of the original version to 768 MB. The storage memory remains intact: there will be two versions (8 and 16 GB) and the possibility of increasing it with the use of MicroSD memory cards of up to 32 GB.
Operating system
When the original Samsung Galaxy S was launched in 2010, it had Android 2.1 Eclair version installed inside. To this day, the Gingerbread version is already installed, the same one that Samsung Galaxy S Advance has installed. Although in the latter case it is assumed that Android 4.0 could arrive at some point in this first quarter of the year, as will happen with other models in the Asian giant's catalog.
Drums
Samsung has chosen to include the same battery in the Samsung Galaxy S Advance that it included in the 2010 model. In other words, the new member of the Galaxy family has a 1,500 milliamp battery, which if it follows the same steps as the original model, according to Samsung its autonomy should reach 6.5 hours in conversation and 24 days in standby time. Although of course, all these numbers will depend on the use that each user gives to their terminal.
Conclusions
Samsung has updated its mid-range. And it is that if a little less than two years ago the Samsung Galaxy S corresponded to the manufacturer's high-end range, this Samsung Galaxy S Advance in the middle of 2012 is positioned as the mid-range, since terminals such as Samsung Galaxy S2 or Samsung Galaxy Note -the hybrid model - they are one step higher.
However, the differences - not many - are worth it for the future buyer. It will have more power with a dual-core processor and more RAM that will make the ease in day-to-day operation latent. Plus, your cameras get better too. Although the main one will continue with a five-megapixel sensor, a Flash is added to improve the captures when the ambient light does not accompany the scene. While the front camera increases its resolution and you can have video talks with more image definition.
Even so, Samsung Galaxy S is still in the catalog of offers of the main mobile operators and is still a good option for those users who do not want to spend a fortune on a new mobile, but who do not want to leave aside the multiple connections for be able to visit the Internet, share moments on social networks or check e-mail.
Finally, with Samsung Galaxy S Advance - prior official announcement by the company - it could be one of the candidates to receive the pertinent update to Android 4.0 that Samsung Galaxy Nexus already has.
