Samsung Galaxy S

 

It's Samsung's best smartphone to date, but is it the best in the market?

Vibrant AMOLED display, Fast processor, Customised interface works well

Less than perfect built quality, Mediocre battery life

Samsung Galaxy S Review

 

Now that the Google Nexus S is available, you may have some second thoughts about picking up the marginally older Samsung Galaxy S platform. Don’t be. The Captivate is a seriously solid phone with a beautiful display, plenty of horsepower, and all the...

Samsung Galaxy S Review

 

The Samsung Galaxy S looks surprisingly like an iPhone 3Gs, with similar rounded edges and a silver band that surrounds the superb 4” (480 x 800) multi-touch capacitive touch-screen.

Samsung Fascinate review

 

We review the Samsung Fascinate, Verizon Wireless' Galaxy S phone

Amazingly bright and clear Super-AMOLED display ; Solid Verizon Wireless network ; Mobile hotspot feature

Poor battery life compared to other Galaxy S phones ; Camera is not great ; So light it feels cheap

Verizon's Galaxy S phone is late to the party, but it brought mobile hotspot functionality with it so we'll cut it some slack. The phone is very, very similar to its AT&T and T-Mobile counterparts and we would recommend it to anyone looking for an...

Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) Review

 

Overall the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S is a splendid device and worthy of being a flagship one. In terms of its competitors I suppose its main rivals are currently the HTC Desire and Apples iPhone 4. So how does it compare?

Poor battery life, plasticky

Samsung Galaxy S review -

 

The Super AMOLED display is one of the most vibrant we?ve ever seen and enhances every aspect of the Samsung Galaxy S

Achieving a GPS fix took longer than we would have liked

Winston's comments: Although the specs on Samsung Galaxy S does look very good indeed, the limited number of apps/games currently available, make it a little less appealing. However, give it time ... as more and more Android based phones appear, so...

Samsung Fascinate Review: Verizon's Galaxy S Smartphone

 

The Fascinate feels unlike almost any other high-end Android device I've had the chance to review so far. Where other smartphones are predominantly metal and thus pack some considerable heft, the Fascinate is lightweight and just a tad plasticky. It's...
