Started this poll as Galaxy3 & Optimus1 can't be compared directly as both differ in price from 500 to 2000 in some place but the Galaxy 551 & Optimus One are of same price (LG O1 at 12,599 vs G551 @ 12,799, ignore the small price difference).
so guys, vote for the mobile you think is the perfect budget Android. below are specs of Galaxy 551 in comparison to LG O1, to ease out the strength & weaknesses of both at the same time:
*mynewmachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/LGOptimusOneP500.jpg *mynewmachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/samsunggalaxy551.jpg
Screen: both 3.2" but Galaxy 551 has resolution of 240 X 400 vs 320 X 480. but Galaxy 551 packs in 16M colour but Optimus One uses a 266M screen (not much of a difference).
OS: both runs on the 2nd latest Android version (as on time writing this poll) i.e. Android 2.2 aka Froyo. but Samsung uses touchwiz 3.0 UI over the stock Android UI, while LG packs the LG launcher (homescreen taskbar).
Connectivity: both have 3G (HSDPA @ 7.2Mbps) & Wifi b/g (GSM Arena & flipkart states that Samsung one have "n" bandwidth coverage also, if someone can please verify this)
Processing Power: Samsung 551 has processor running at 667Mhz along with 256Mb ram & inhouse graphics compared to LG Optimus One's 600Mhz Qualcomm processor with 512Mb ram & Adreno 200 graphics (which is better than the graphics of its competitor).
Input: LG Optimus One have 4 H/W keys (for the menu, home, search & back) but relies on on-screen keyboard for the main inputting. Galaxy 551 have 3 keys (menu, home & back) but have a H/W keyboard with 4 rows of keys (H/W keyboard is always better than onscreen keyboard).
Camera: both have a 3.2Mp camera with just autofocus. no flash, no lens cover. but LG O1 captures video at 18FPS but Galaxy 551's FPS isn't mentioned, but taken as 15FPS same as G3. in short, video caught from both these mobiles, SUCKS.
Battery Life: not taking in the talktime & standbytime as stated by their respective companies, LG Optimus One usually lasts for around 2days with moderate usage under best scenario thanks to its 1500mah battery. Samsung Galaxy3 (i know what i talking) lasts for 1.5days if used with the stock firmware (cause of some battery bug, modded firmware based on Froyo resolves it). it too uses a 1500mah battery. but Galaxy 551 uses a 1200mah battery (to make space for the H/W keyboard). so i don't expect more than 1.5days of battery life under best scenario (Froyo is optimized for speed & memory. indirectly increasing battery life. also a touchscreen being used eats more power than a touchscreen + H/W keys).
Weight: LG Optimus One weights just below 130gram which many may consider heavy. well Samsung Galaxy 551 goes 1 step ahead (actually 2 step) & weights at 156gram (well quite heavy). the extra weight is definitely from the H/W keyboard.
so basically this is it. please don't discuss about service provided by both or upgrade to newer OS as nobody can guarantee about the service one will get or when they'll be updated to newer OS. when they are released, i'll edit my post. thank you & let the poll begin.
