Granted the iPhone 4 is almost a year old, but has still sat on top of the sales chart among UK subscribers. That all changed last month when Samsung toppled the king and took the coveted #1 spot in sales.
Those familiar with the Samsung Galaxy S II specs should not be surprised as the 1.2GHz dual-core processor trumps that of the 1GHz single-core A5 chip in the iPhone. More importantly the GSII sports an 8MP camera with a 1.3MP front facing one and 1080p video shooting and of course the highly touted Super AMOLED Plus screen.
Of course, there’s more to the story than just specifications – the most significant difference between the two handsets lies in the software. Apple’s iOS operating system, found in all iPhones, has been in a fierce head to head battle with Google’s Android OS for quite some time now and though the iPhone brand still tends to give Apple the edge, this swing in sales is a significant victory for Android.
Except for the iPhone 4 at 2nd and the BlackBerry Curve 8250 at 9th, the top 10 was mostly uninterrupted by non-Android devices and HTC dominated most of the top seats though Samsung still took the number one seat.
