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

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...

A ndroid heyecanı hâlâ devam ediyor. Bu heyecanın sürmesinin nedeni hem Android işletim sisteminin sunduğu fonksiyonellik ve hem de Android Market'in sunduğu zengin içerik. Pek çok cep telefonu üreticisi firma piyasaya çok sayıda Android işletim...

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.

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...

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?

Innards are first in class, but the plastic case diminishes the whole experience
Thin, excellent camera, internal storage
Poor battery life, plasticky
Expert review by : Mobile Choice UK (mobilechoiceuk.com)
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...

By now you've probably seen the reviews of the other Galaxy S phones -- the Epic 4G, Captivate, or Vibrant -- or at least gotten an idea of what Samsung's push into the Android market is all about in 2010. After hitting every other major US carrier...
Display looks great ; 4-inch size is a sweet spot ; Camera is extremely capable
TouchWiz skin is superfluous ; Phone is prone to freezes ; Bing is default search engine, can't be changed
