The above comparison makes me draw the following verdicts:
- Hardware Wise, Galaxy S is better than N8, the 1Ghz processor specially makes the mark
- Android 2.1 gives Galaxy S again an upper hand
- N8 takes it away with the whopping 12MP Camera, thats the USP of this phone and its going to make a huge difference
- Galaxy S has a better battery
- Price wise there is not much of a difference
- The Verdict is, Both the phones are good, if you want performance go for Galaxy S and if you want photography go for N8
