Network:
S9110 – GSM 900 / 1800
GD910 – GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900; HSDPA – 2100
Result: GD910 has an upper hand here with a global GSM coverage and support for 3G.

Dimensions and Weight:
S9110 – 57.5 x 41.1 x 11.98 mm; 91g
GD910 – 61 x 39 x 13.9 mm; 84g
Result: 2mm is in no way thick and is hardly noticeable but you know, if slimness is what you crave for, S9110 is the way to go. Oh and as you can see, it’s a bit heavier too.

Display:
S9110 – 1.76-inch 256K colors capacitive touchscreen (176×220)
GD910 – 1.43-inch 256K colors capacitive touchscreen (176×220)
Result: Pretty much the same but a bigger screen like on S9110 is always welcome.

Camera:
S9110 – No
GD910 – Yes, CIF resolution
Result: S9110 does not have a camera and even a camera supporting CIF resolution in GD910 is a big plus. To top it, it can be used to carry out video calls.

Memory:
S9110 – 40MB internal
GD910 – No mention
Result: Samsung has confirmed 40MB internal memory but LG is yet to confirm. We presume it does not have it and will play music via Bluetooth.

Bluetooth:
S9110 – v2.1 with A2DP
GD910 – v2.0 with A2DP
Result: S9110 one ups GD910 on the Bluetooth front. v2.1 gives advantages like simple pairing, enhanced security and power efficiency.

Other features:
S9110 – E-mail (Outlook Sync), Voice recognition, Voice memo, MP3 player, Organizer, T9
GD910 – Waterproof, Voice recognition, Text to Speech (TTS), MP3 Player, Organizer, T9
Result: Both the devices offer on par features but S9110 gives e-mail support while GD910 trades in for its waterproof capability and TTS.

Battery:
S9110 – Li-ion 630mAh, no word on expected talk and standby time
GD910 – Li-ion, up to 2 hours of talk time and 247 hours of standby time
Result: We can’t really compare on this front since the data is inadequate but we expect Samsung’s watchphone to be in the same range.

Price:
S9110 – Around $640
GD910 – Around $1650 (rumored)
Result: Need we say more? If the rumored price turns out to be true for GD910, Samsung will easily be beat LG hands down.

Summing it up, we think price is going to be a crucial factor. Even though GD910 is superior in some areas, shelling out 1000 bucks more doesn’t justify it.
