The Nokia Lumia 800 was announced in October 2011, way after the Samsung Galaxy S II was announced during the Mobile World Congress in February 2011. There is something to be said about the Samsung Galaxy S II, which is still holding its own against newer devices in a field where three months is about as long as a lifetime.
Both handsets are touchscreen candybar devices with 8-megapixel cameras and LED flash. They support WiFi and use a microUSB connector for charging and data transfer. The similarity ends here as the Lumia 800 is supposed to be the first of many Windows Phone devices that Nokia is making, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S II has been considered the top Android device for a while now.
The Nokia Lumia 800 is the heavier one in this comparison by about 25% (142g vs 116g). It has a 1.4 GHz single-core processor with 512 MBs of RAM and 16GBs of storage. It is thicker than its rival here but returns lower height and width measurements. We quite wonder where the extra weight came from if the Samsung is a larger (but thinner) device.
The Samsung Galaxy S II appears to have more talk time (18 hours vs 13 hours) and standby time (710 hours vs 265 hours). This is probably due to its slightly larger battery capacity (1650 mAh vs 1450 mAh). It has a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with 1 GB of RAM and 32 GBs of storage.
It also has better video recording capability at 1920 x 1080 (1080p HD). The Lumia 800 is only capable of 1280 x 720 (720p HD).
The price for both devices is now almost the same, The Samsung Galaxy S II has dropped from its opening price to an amount a little less than what we expect the Nokia Lumia 800 to debut at. We would think that the Galaxy S II is the preference here. It has more storage and probably slightly better performance with double the RAM. Finally, the Android Marketplace gives you more options than the corresponding Windows Marketplace, at least for now.
