The Galaxy S is Samsung's new move among smartphones, looking to offer some serious competition to the iPhone. To see how this battle plays out, read the full Samsung Galaxy S review.
The best traits of the device must be the mighty 1GHz Hummingbird processor, and the gigantic 4-inch touchscreen. Both one and the other deliver excellent performance and empower the Android OS. The Galaxy S screen - a Super AMOLED - has a generous resolution of 480x800 accompanied by truly vibrant colors. The contrast (500.000 to 1) compares to that of a regular HD television set, which makes the image crisp and sharp. As a touchscreen it also has a fast response, with practically no lag between commands and the phone's compliance.
The processor also gives fantastic speed of execution, both in video playback and 3D rendering.
The chassis is light and thin, and it does feel rather plasticky, more so than one would expect from a a smartphone. This fact however is a small price to pay for so much quality hardware in such a light compact package. The micro-USB is covered by an innovative hard sliding cover that locks solidly in place, not the standard rubber flaps found on many other phones.
Default internal memory can be 8 or 16GB, and you can also complement that with another 32GB, with a microSD card. The 5MP camera takes good quality pictures and can also shoot 720P HD video, but does not have a built in flash, so expect reduced image quality in low light.
Battery performance is not the best, partly due to the Super AMOLED screen. The Galaxy S could remain active for a whole day if things go well, however if used intensely with the screen on full brightness, it will need a recharge in a matter of hours.
As a conclusion - the device matches impressive features with less than ideal battery life and software, as well as a nice 5MP camera with the lack of a flash or light. This is not a deal breaker by any means, since it looks good, fits well in any hand or pocket, and has a great screen, and so this Samsung Galaxy S review recommends it as a great smartphone to buy.
