Motorola Mobile recently launched their touch and type Android Mobile, Motorol Fire in India. This phone has received a decent response in the Indian markets. However it has some real quality competition with other touch and type Android Mobiles. One of the top competitor is Samsung Galaxy Pro, which was Samsungs's first QWERTY Touch and type android phone in India. This post talks about the comparison of these two phones.

Size and Design:

The major difference between the designs of these smart phones is that Fire has the display in portrait format whereas Samsung pro uses the same conventional style of landscape screen that we often find it business smartphones. These screen formats means Fire has a long and Galaxy Pro has a wide design. Fire is 116mm long in contrast to Galaxy pro, 108.6mm. It has a width of 58 mm compared to 66.7 mm of Galaxy Pro. Galaxy Pro is thin, having 10.7mm of depth while Fire has 13.5mm; Fire is also a little heavier, weighing 110g in contrast to Galaxy Pro’s 103.4g. However, Galaxy Pro is a little bit extra Wide!

Display:

Both the smart phones have 2.8 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and 256K color support. Fire features Motorola Switch UI while Pro doesn’t have the Samsung TouchWiz UI. Both phones also have the same pixel density of 143ppi and features proximity sensor and accelerometer.

Camera:

Fire features a 3.15MP camera with maximum image resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. It doesn’t have the LED flash and autofocus feature and records video with maximum resolution of 480p at 24fps. Galaxy pro also features a 3.15Mp camera but comes with auto focus and records VGA video at 30fps also featuring the smile shutter feature giving it a little edge over the competitor.

Processor and OS:

Motorola Fire has a 600Mhz Arm 11 processor, powered by Adreno 200GPU where as Samsung Galaxy Pro has 800 MHz of processor. Fire features Google Android 2.3(Gingerbread) OS where as Pro features Android 2.2(Froyo).

Storage Capacity:

Motorola Fire has 256 of RAM and 512MB of ROM whereas Galaxy has512MB of internal memory. The external memory of both the phones can be extended up to 32GB

Connectivity:

Fire has 3G support and features Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, Wi-Fi and micro USB 2.0. Galaxy has Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP and It’s also features the Wi-Fi hotspot.

Conclusion:
Both these phones have almost the same features and even almost the same price around Rs.8,500. However, because of presence of Android 2.3 and a Portrait display, I will personally prefer Motorola Fire.
