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

The Galaxy S should have been a cracking handset and in many ways it is. Its screen is very good, it's fast, it's packed with features, and looks pretty decent as well. Certainly if you're looking for a large and powerful Android smartphone, it's up...

Samsung Galaxy S review

 

Samsung strikes mobile gold with a phone that combines both hugely powerful hardware with a UI that makes Android 2.1 easy but also incredibly intuitive to use

Samsung Galaxy S review

 

Looks like an iPhone. But now tastes like Gingerbread

Superb screen ; Cheaper price ; Slim chassis ; Great audio quality ; HD video recording

No unified inbox ; No more updates ; Wi-Fi not too strong ; No camera flash

This Samsung Galaxy S review has been updated to include the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system update.

Samsung Galaxy S review

 

Best multimedia phone, Awards 2010. With the advent of the Galaxy S, there's now a genuinely tough rival to Apple's all-conquering iPhone 4

Price ; large screen ; superb video playback ; 'phones sound decent ; expandable memory

Lacks an iTunes equivalent music and movie service

Best multimedia phone, Awards 2010. Desirable, capable and great value; the iPhone 4 has met its match

Samsung Galaxy S

 

Samsung is fighting its way into the Android superphone field with the Galaxy S. With a whopping 4-inch Super AMOLED display, it's one of the biggest phones on the market. Can Samsung take on HTC in the Android market that its done so much to define?...

Screen is sensational, HD video capture, HD video playback

Some software refinement needed, no sign of online video support (yet)

The Samsung Galaxy S is certainly a competitive device, with the Super AMOLED screen being a real star, making your content look sensational. It might not be constructed from premium materials like the iPhone 4 or the HTC Desire, but we like it all the...

Samsung’s Galaxy A55 costs less but offers you more

 

With improved materials, a larger screen and faster performance, Samsung attempts to class up its mid-range smartphone offering. Here's our full review

Premium build ; Cheaper than before ; Strong stamina ; Decent software support

Somewhat bulky ; Slow charging ; Still not as good value as the competition

With a step up in build quality, a larger display, and a faster processor, the Galaxy A55 5G is a worthy advancement over the Galaxy A54 5G. It’s cheaper than before too, though still not the outstanding value of some of its competitors.

Samsung Galaxy S Review: In Depth

 

The Galaxy S appears to be Samsung's answer to the likes of the iPhone and the Google Nexus One. It has definitely taken more than a few design queues from Apple's ubiquitous smartphone, but running Android…

Samsung Galaxy S 4G review

 

The Google Android 2.2-powered Samsung Galaxy S 4G is, in essence, a Samsung Galaxy S with added extras. It will be sold in the US by T-Mobile starting February 23, and will be priced at about $150 with a two-year contract. UK availability is not yet...

In a nutshell, I'm impressed with the Galaxy S 4G. It doesn't have the features or horsepower of its brother the Galaxy S II (launched here yesterday), but to get to a bargain price point you can't have the best of everything.

Samsung Galaxy S review

 

This sleek candybar Google Android handset is almost identical in size to the iPhone 3GS and mimics its chrome-trimmed black exterior. But the Samsung Galaxy S is lighter, at 119g, and has a brighter 4in AmoLED touchscreen. Vain gadget fans will also...

The fantastic Samsung Galaxy S offers a range of features and an incredible screen, and is a legitimate rival to Apple's iPhone. The battery may not last as long as you'd expect, however.
