With the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S2 to the U.S. and the impending release of the iPhone 5, which is considered to be the next top contender in the smartphone market, there has been much talk about the equality of the phones, pitted against each other and compared to other handsets.
Many sources have named such phones at the Motorola Droid Bionic as formidable opponents against both the Galaxy S2 and the iPhone 5.
The Droid Bionic has been advertised as Verizon Wireless' answer to both smartphones, however it is notably not on the list of most desirable handsets.
However, it seems that the battle between the two top contenders will always be up for debate.
Another survey conducted by UBS Investment Research found that 89 percent of iPhone users said that they will continue go buy Apple handsets in the future, while 55 percent of overall Android users say that they will continue to buy Android handsets in the future.
