First Face Off: Samsung Omnia HD vs. Sony Ericsson Idou


This year’s Mobile World Congress has unveiled the two greatest phones of 2009. Which are Samsung OmniaHD and Sony Ericsson Idou.

Samsung OmniaHD has attracted so many Mobile Phone fans as they unveiled the largest OLED touchscreen in a mobile phone, including an 8mp Camera which can record a High Definition Video (720p) while Sony Ericsson Idou made some noise with its 12mp camera, the first 12mp camera phone in the world.

So what is better? We could not answer you right now; let’s dissect the part of each phone to compare. I know, this is a Samsung OmniaHD blog, but don’t worry I wont be bias.

CAMERA
At the first look, Sony Ericsson Idou won this part; it got 12 Megapixel camera with Auto Focus, a xenon flash, face and smile detection, etc. while the Samsung Omnia HD has 8 Megapixel camera with Auto Focus, a led flash, and pretty much the same features with Idou. But don’t be blind with the Megapixel war, Megapixel is not the key to have a good pictures. We must consider the lens, sensor, etc. but there are rumors that Sony Ericsson Idou will be using the best technology for a mobile phone which is the Exmor. (You can google it) But still, it is a rumor and since, the final version of the two phones hasn’t come out yet, so we cannot really decide which is better. Don’t worry ill be posting a review of the two phones when the final version came out.

Winner: None

DISPLAY
No question about it, Samsung OmniaHD is the winner in this part. It has the biggest screen of all; the 3.7” OLED capacitive touchscreen is just so amazing. OLED are giving the pictures its perfect color plus it is more economical. Sony Ericsson has 3.5” resistive touchscreen.

Winner: Samsung OmniaHD

DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
Idou is smaller and lighter compare to OmniaHD, OmniaHD has a dimension of 123 x 58 x 12.9 mm and a weight of 149g while Idou has a dimension of 111 x 54 x 15 mm and a weight of 133g. Of course, we want a lighter device, so in this round Idou is the winner. The 3.7” screen of OmniaHD has its downside huh?

Winner: Sony Ericsson Idou

MUSIC
OmniaHD has a 3.5mm jack, while Idou has none. But we really don’t know what Entertainment Unlimited can bring to us. OmniaHD has the same music player with the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Since Sony Ericsson hasn’t release its full specs, we cannot decide on this one.

Winner: None

VIDEO RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
OmniaHD has it all, it can record a High Definition Video at 24 frames per second, it can play a High Definition Video (720p), and it can play DivX/XviD/WMV/MP4 format. It is one of the main features of Samsung OmniaHD while we have no news about Idou when it comes to video recording and playback. But I think even Idou will have the same specs with OmniaHD when it comes to video recording and playback, OmniaHD will still be the winner because of its display.

Winner: Samsung OmniaHD


FINAL WORDS
There are still so many other parts that is not included in this review, like the battery, the storage, etc. because mostly, they are all still prototypes. In the case of Idou, only the 12 Megapixel, and some features of OS, are shown in MWC 2009. So as of now, we cannot really compare the two, we just show you some basic comparison to know more about the phones.

The Winner: None. Don’t worry, just like what I said earlier, I will be posting another review of the two phones when they came out.
