Y Samsung Star is better !!!?
Simple and clear comparison between Samsung star and lg cookie !
STAR
Cookie
Looks -
Star anayday as it looks more stylish
Cookie looks like a plastic box !
Performance – touch interface
Fast ad very responsive –
Star has glass touch technology which is same to the one in I phone
Cookie has fibre touch technology which tends to heat up with over usage and in the long run cause problems
Sound clarity
Very good- loud - and clear …
The clarity is good no doubt but when you play songs on high volume it tends to distort the sound output ..
Video clarity -
It is very decent for the price
Same as star
Memory -
240 mb internal phone memory
Expandable til 8 gb
The offer as of now in Bangalore is 2 gb free memory card but I think it dosnt really matter as performance wise Star is much better
Display clarity -
Star is better as it looks more polished
Cookie looks cheap
Weight
Star is VERYYY light weight !!
Cookie feels much heavier
Widgets -
The widgets are very user friendly and apt !!
U might have to touch the cookie a little to much for the touch to work smoothly !
Stylis
Provides one in the box !
The cookie has the stylis in the phone itself !
Camera –
Good quality for the price…
Pretty fast and responsive
The quality is nice but a little slow
QWERTY
Both the phones have it … but star seems more comfortable
Both the phone have it
Security -
- On the security front you have Mobile Tracker technology and you can password protect various parts of the phone like Messaging, phonebook, your files, SIM card etc.
Advantage
Looks very classy -
Good Display quality
good Call quality Good touch interface – can b compared to the one in i phone Battery (lasts 2 days with moderate to heavy use)
Music and video player does its job Camera quite good Web browsing 8GB memory card support
Messaging / smsin is simple and easy !
Games are fun
Samsung New PC Studio s/w works well with the phone
Has widget option which is very useful for fast access to any application !
Lets you select a picture of your own as background for menu !
Price
The screen automatically gets locked when u make a call, Unlike other touch phone example sony Ericsson G 900i
the photo editing s/w is awesome! lets u have great fun with photos - can create a collage usin the phone !
Smart lock feature
Disadvantages -Cannot view SMS's while on a phone call. Can only write SMS's and emails during calls -Document viewing is a pain -Stylus cannot be attached to the phone's body -File Manager can be much better -Have to buy a separate screen guard as default one already is on its way out when you're buying the phone -Design decision related to wallpapers in topmost screen
-Default browser link clicking is a bit iffy. -No 'Back' button in the touch interface
Final Word - Buy the Star to experience its awesome performance !!!
