The Samsung Galaxy S is Samsung’s latest smartphone, and is one of the leading Android phones in Australia.
When you first pick up the Samsung Galaxy S, you may have to do a double take, because for a second there you may have thought you picked up an iPhone. This smartphone may be a little skinnier, but the curvy edges and the handset’s home button sitting at the bottom of the phone’s face seem all too familiar.
The Samsung Galaxy S features a four-inch capacitive touchscreen, which uses Samsung’s Super AMOLED display technology, similar to the screen of its Android counterpart, the HTC Desire.
The display is rich, bold and sharp. The large screen is best appreciated when streaming movies in HD and viewing the photos taken on the phone’s 5-megapixel camera. While the features of the camera are impressive (touch to focus on a subject, clear photos when viewed via the phone), the camera is lacking a flash and photos aren’t as sharp when viewed on a larger screen.
