The Battle of the Android Phones


Looks like Google’s own OS, the Android is gaining ground in the mobile phone market. More and more manufacturers are embracing the Android OS and just recently, the HTC Hero has been announced. HTC has been the biggest manufacturer of Android phones with Google choosing them to make their first Google Phone, the G1 or HTC Dream. After the G1, HTC has also made the HTC Magic and the recent announcement of the HC Hero makes it their third Android device.

But HTC is not the only manufacturer of Android phones. Sony Ericsson and Motorola have been rumored to be in the process of making their own Android phones and recently, Samsung has released their own Android phone: the Samsung i7500 Galaxy in Germany.

According to some Samsung i7500 reviews, it seems to be the most powerful Android phone in the market with a 5 megapixel camera, 3.2 inch AMOLED screen, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, Bluetooth, etc. However, once the HTC Hero will be released, the Samsung Galaxy is in for a stiff competition. Aside from a custom UI, the HTC Hero boasts of an onboard 3.5mm headset jack and a much sleeker design.

So who will come out on top? Neither Samsung and HTC but Google who seems to be bent on dominating the smartphone market.
