In the booming smartphone market, two phones recently introduced that appear to rise above the rest are the Motorola Droid Incredible by HTC, the latest in the HTC Droid line of handsets running on the Google Android OS, and the iPhone from Apple, with the anxiously awaited iPhone 4G reputedly on the horizon. The Apple camp has not released any solid information about the 4G, but iPhone users are seeing the writing on Apple's wall.
After Gizmodo prematurely leaked the images of a "lost" prototype on the internet, the buzz surrounding the 4G has only escalated. Meanwhile, the popularity of HTC's Droid Incredible has created fierce competition with a device that has not even been released yet - which is pretty remarkable, though whether that's bodes better for the iPhone or the Incredible we're not quite sure.
The improvements made in both device model upgrades (Droid and iPhone) is immensely comparable, revealing that both camps are keenly plugged in to what their customers want.
For one, the HTC Droid and the iPhone both have upgraded their camera features. The 4G iPhone now includes a 2 megapixel front-facing camera for chat, and has added a long-awaited flash to its regular camera on the rear of the device, now a more acceptable 5 megapixels replacing its old, tired 3MP. The Droid, on the other hand, boasts an 8 megapixel camera, auto focus, and a dual LED flash, which seems to give HTC the upper hand over even the 4G iPhone on this feature. But the iPhone 4G has also added a tap to focus feature that enables the camera to focus more accurately.
Apple has also added a second microphone for better voice clarity by canceling surrounding noise (much like noise canceling headphones do). HTC has no such feature.
Both the iPhone and the Droid have improved the resolution and the overall display screen. The Droid's 3.7 inch LED screen and a 1 GHz processor is faster than its predecessor. But the iPhone 4G will be offering a st artling 960x640 pixels, and a oleophobic fingerprint resistant coating.
The faster processor on the Droid makes it a most valuable player in gaming and gaming developments.
The iPhone, as always, comes in choice of 2 models, one with 16 GB, and one with 32 GB. And while the Droid offers close to 10,000 apps, the iPhone offers at least that many.
Of course, for many users, choice of wireless carrier is the dealmaker and breaker. So for those folks, let it be known that the iPhone 4G will still be locked to AT&T while the Droid Incredible is a Verizon smartphone.
