iPhone vs the Droid Bionic

iPhone 4GS

The iPhone 4GS is Apple’s newest smartphone. It was announced on October 4^th and just recently started being sold. New features include Siri, increased performance, a better camera, 1080p HD video, iOS 5, iCloud, a retina display, and improved FaceTime. All of these features lead to the explosive sales of Apple’s new phone. It went so far as to save Apple’s stock from dipping below $390 per share. The phone exhibits the characteristic physical perfection of previous apple products: a sleek design that also features utility. The front of the phone shows only a single button: a home button. On the top, there is a sleep button. On the sides there are volume and lock buttons. This is a mystic combination of buttons that creates the greatest utility. The phone fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Additionally, the screen is within reach of your thumb at all times, but also allows for two handed use if it is preferred. The back of the phone features a camera and the apple logo. All of these features combined create the iPhone 4GS. Apple is expected to come out with sleek products that have minimalistic features. The iPhone 4GS does not disappoint.

Droid Bionic

The Motorola Droid Bionic is iPhone’s latest competitor. It touts improved performance, a large screen, and some unique software. The Bionic, like the 4GS, takes its design from its predecessors. It has very clean cut edges and chrome accents. This makes the device look far more masculine than the iPhone, which appeals to a much smaller group of people. On the top, there is a power button and a headset jack. On the front of the phone Is a camera. On the side there are two ports. These ports make it a challenge to properly hold the phone when plugged in. On the other side of the phone are two volume buttons. On the back is a camera. There is nothing on the bottom of the phone. One thing the droid trumps the iPhone on is it’s absolutely enormous screen. The screen measures 4.3 inches from corner to corner. The Droid line does not appeal to as wide of an audience as the iPhone, but it does offer a unique look. Some people appreciate the look of the Droid more, albeit a primarily male tech-junkie audience.
