I've used 4S and S2 in parallel for 8 months now.
Though I personally prefer Android OS, I must admit that build quality is now strongly coming as a win for Apple.
S2 is now a little flimsy, 4S is as new.
- cageface 14y agoThe 4S does feel a little more solid than the S3 too, but I'm happy not to have the extra weight in my pocket. I've also seen a lot of iPhones with big cracks in the glass in the back and I'm happy I can just swap out the plastic back of the S3 with a cheap replacement if necessary.
- sigkill 14y agoIf the back plastic is anything like the S2 back you'll never need to swap it at all. That thing is surprisingly strong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etsxu0OMqUQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etsxu0OMqUQ
- dsirijus 14y agoI've seen 3GS practically shatter from a drop of 3ft. I've seen S2 flying all across the room on the concrete floor and not a scratch. I'm not trying to draw statistics here, it's just my experience that iPhones are more resistant to wear and tear, and Samsungs more resistant to somewhat more extreme shocks.
- justincormack 14y agoThe battery coming out absorbs most of the impact energy. It is an excellent design, as you get user replaceable batteries as a side effect.
