Sell Your iPhone 4S for These Samsung Smartphone (Part Four)

Previously, we discussed the main features of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Definitely, the best feature of that phone is the Ice Cream Sandwich. It pushes the limits of what a smartphone can do. If you think about it, the phone is already acting like a tablet PC!

Now, let’s take a look at another phone that will make you sell your iPhone 4S – a Windows phone.

While you may think that buying a Windows phone is a bad investment, you’re wrong. The recently launched Windows 7.5 Mango is a rising player among the smartphone heavyweights, like Android, BlackBerry and iPhone.

Samsung was able to see the software’s potential and created a beautiful looking smartphone to show off its features.

Samsung’s Windows phone is the Focus S. It offers a very refreshing way of how smartphones should look. It has a very unique user interface that’s very easy to manage.

It doesn’t look like the Android or iOS type, wherein you swipe between home screens. Instead you get live tiles on the home screen, which we’ll get to in a moment. Let’s go over the basic physical features of the phone first.

Like the three previous Samsung phones, you get a large screen for the Focus S. It has a 4.3 inch screen with the stunning Super AMOLED Plus display. You’ll be sure that everything looks fantastic on this phone. It also measures 5 inches tall and 2.6 inches wide. It’s also impressively thin, measuring at only 0.3 inches.

It also has a powerful 8 megapixel camera at the back. It takes great photos and videos. There’s also a 1.3 megapixel front camera that will come in handy if the need arises, like for video chats.

The main star of the phone though is the Windows 7.5 Mango. Right off the bat, you’ll notice that the screen is populated with huge boxes. These are called “Live Tiles” by Windows. They display information such as the number of unread emails and texts, Facebook updates by your friends and other data.

Not only that, you can customize the home screen too. If you don’t receive that many emails, you can unpin it from the home screen. You can put a contact in its place instead. If you text your spouse every moment, then this feature will come in handy.

Social media is a great feature on the Windows 7.5 Mango. For example, Facebook chats can be seen right in the inbox where you receive text messages too. You don’t have to open up the Facebook app just to chat with your friends. Also, if you see that your Facebook contact has disconnected, you can instantly send a text to continue the conversation, all within one messaging screen. Truly, Windows has put a lot of thought into efficiency.

There are other features too, such as the Bing integration. You can scan barcodes and get product reviews right on your home screen.

There are more features that the Windows 7.5 Mango has, but they’re too many to list here. Instead, check out their website. It’ll give you a comprehensive look at the Mango.
