Samsung Galaxy S Review – the best screen, but is it the best smartphone:

 

Samsung have just launched the Samsung Galaxy S, the first Android device from the company that has all the might of Samsung’s technologicaly supremacy thrown at it. With the Galaxy S, Samsung have thrown a tonne of features at it, as you’d expect, and equipped it with their glorious Super AMOLED screen. Add a super-fast 1GHz processor into the mix plus multi-touch user interface, and you’ve got a recipe for a very tasty smartphone.
But is all that enough to make the Samsung Galaxy S a phone worth buying? Does it offer enough over the other Android phones out there to make you choose it rather than its competitors? And how close does it come to being the best Android phone on the market?
Well, let’s have a look, with our in-depth Samsung Galaxy S review.

Samsung Galaxy S Overview

The Samsung Galaxy S is a touchscreen Android 2.1 smartphone (it’ll be updated automatically to Android 2.2 with a huge 4″ multi-touch screen that features Samsung’s leading Super AMOLED screen technology.
Its screen is one of the phone’s three defining features. Not only can you see it from virtually any angle, but its contrast is second to none, giving rich and vibrant colours, super-dark blacks and an overall picture quality more at home on an HD TV than a phone.
Indeed, watching videos and browsing the Web are absolute pleasures simply because of the quality of the screen.
Like other manufacturers, Samsung have added their own user interface to the Galaxy S. Called TouchWiz 3, it offers a few more neat animations and transitions than the stock Android interface. Add to that full multi-touch support and blazing-fast performance, and the Galaxy S is starting to look like an extremely interesting new smartphone.

If you want to know more, though, then read on.

Three key features of the Galaxy S

Every phone has to have a unique selling point to make it stand out from the competition. With the Galaxy S, Samsung have given it three:

• the best screen of any phone
• stunning range of technologies giving class-leading performance
• pre-loaded apps that make it a truly smart phone

It’s this combination of features that makes the Galaxy S so compelling. Sure there are loads of Android phones on the market now, but the Galaxy S does everything so effortlessly, and with such ease, that it leaves the others for dust!
Let’s have a look at these features in more detail.

The best screen of any phone

The Super AMOLED technology that Samsung have developed has to be seen to be believed. If you think it won’t make that much difference to a phone, think again. The richness of the colours, the superior contrast, and the ability to see all this even in daylight makes the phone a joy to use.
It really does transform the overall experience.

Of course, the screen might get some competition from the iPhone 4 as far as screen quality is concerned, and it’s true that the iPhone 4′s Retina display is being touted as the best phone screen on the market. But that’s only in terms of pixels and overall resolution.
In tests conducted by Engadget, the Galaxy S’s Super AMOLED screen had the more vivid colour saturation and sharper definition. As such, it’s a close call, but Samsung’s Super AMOLED technology ultimately came out on top.

Class leading performance

You’d expect a Samsung flagship phone to be stuffed to the gills with features, and you won’t be disappointed. All the usual is included, as you’d expect:

• 1 GHz Hummingbird processor
• Up to 16GB of storage (including 2GB just for your apps)
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• 5 megapixel camera
• 720p HD video at 30 frames per second
• aGPS
• 7.2Mbps HSDPA
• Wi-Fi
• Compass
• MP3 player
• Video player

 

Users of the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Android smartphone can expect to see a brand-spanking-new update ready to be downloaded today. There’s only one catch: the update has yet to hit the mobile phones of users based in the United States, and no official word is out as to when a U.S. update is slated to begin.

With that said, the update to Android 2.2 Froyo will add Google Maps and navigation along with voice-guided directions, Adobe’s Flash Player 10.1, a setup wizard, and general security and stability enhancements.

While the update should be available to download today, it may actually be a couple of days before all users get a taste of the Froyo goodness.

Samsung has just announced the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 at CTIA. And now it’s said Samsung is preparing the Galaxy S Pro, a sliding-QWERTY android phone. Otherwise, the Galaxy S Pro runs Android 2.1.
