Perplexed by the HTC Desire HD Vs iPhone 4 comparison, I searched the internet to find a better mobile phone. I was looking for a star but I found a galaxy there… Samsung Galaxy S.
Samsung Galaxy S is a phone with excellent call quality, the speed to multitask tons of applications, a capacitive Super AMOLED screen with life-like color, and is less than a centimeter thick. The Android powered Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9000) has all these features and more. This is the first smart phone ever to have a 4 inch Super AMOLED display with its own dedicated graphics hardware to give a truly visually intense experience.
Here is a comparison between Samsung Galaxy and iPhone 4:

As you can see, both smart phones stack up reasonably well, with each possessing its own strengths and weaknesses. The Samsung Galaxy S offers TouchWIZ 3 — it's Samsung's alternative to the Sense UI on the HTC Desire and promises a similar user-customisable interface.
Although Samsung's innovations on the software side of Android are impressive, it's the phone's hardware which is getting some serious attention. In particular, the 4in super AMOLED display is one of the largest touch screens on an Android phone , alongside the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10. Apple's iPhone 4 uses existing IPS technology (the same used on the iPad, but thanks to its 640x960 pixel resolution it has been described as a "retina" display, due to the human eye being unable to distinguish individual pixels.
Unfortunately, the Samsung Galaxy S has an all-plastic body, which is disappointing given it's a premium smart phone. The menus don't look as polished as the interface on HTC's Android smart phones, though this remains a personal preference. The iPhone 4's stainless steel band (which also doubles as the phones antenna) is certainly intriguing, and at just 9.3mm thick, it is one of the world's thinnest smart phones.
