Specs vs Brand: Which one would you prefer ?



Smartphones are getting handy these days with more and more people queuing to buy one of them. While Apple's i-phone, was having the maximum market share in the smartphone category, the inclusion of others like Motorola Droid and Palm Pre in the race will be an interesting catch for the buyers.


Well, if we consider the specifications which all of them carry, it looks to me as if Apple's i-phone and Motorola Droid will be competitors of the future leaving behind Palm Pre in the race. If the price factor is taken into account, Palm Pre could be considered.

Talking about the features of Apple i-phone and Motorola Droid, one is better than the other in many categories. While i-phone has battery life of 5hrs, Motorola Droid has 6.4hrs but standby for i-phone is 300hrs whereas Motorola Droid is 270hrs. Apple i-phone has 3.0 megapixel camera but, Motorola Droid has 5 megapixel camera instead. Nevertheless, i-phone has an edge here as it provides editing of videos. Looking at the number of applications i-phone is way ahead than Motorola Droid but, Motorola Droid do provide multitasking which i-phone is not capable of.

While speaking about brands, my assumption is that most of the buyers would opt for Apple's i-phone over Motorola Droid or Palm Pre. Even, I would go for an i-phone if I had to buy one. But, we cannot ignore the fact that, both the competitors of Apple's i-phone have done a considerably good job to drive the attention of the potential buyers towards them by understanding the market demand and the consumer behaviour.


So, it will be a very exciting scenario of the market in the near future to watch, as to, Whose way the pendulum swings? The choice is all yours. Which one would you go for? Specs or Brands?
