I’m reasonably certain that’s more of an issue with AT&T’s network than the phone itself though. In my tests, phone reception was solid – although I had difficulty getting a 3G connection from my home, and kept falling back to 2G. About the only bell or whistle this doesn’t have that the iPhone 4 does is the gyroscope. The phone also sports GPS, an accelerometer, proximity/light sensors and a digital compass.
RECENT MENU GALAXY S BLUETOOTH
From a connectivity perspective, you get tri-band HSDPA/HSUPA 3G data and voice, as well as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0 wireless. You’ll be able to find models of the Galaxy S with either 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, and can expand storage up to 32GB extra with a microSD card. I had a chance to test drive Gameloft’s Asphalt 5 on the phone and it ran at a silky-smooth framerate. And it seems to actually handle 3D games with aplomb. As a matter of fact, it felt just a little more responsive than my iPhone 4 for most operations. Running a speedy 1GHz Samsung CPU, it was immediately apparent that this phone is one of the faster smartphones currently out there.
RECENT MENU GALAXY S ANDROID
What I did notice immediately when I switched on the Galaxy S was how zippy it was compared to some of the earlier Android phones I tested out.

I did test out the multi-touch display’s addressable area, and was pleased to see that it detected finger touches as close to each corner as I could test. The touchscreen is as nice as any I’ve tried, and offers haptic feedback you can feel when you type on screen, which is nice, but doesn’t really add that much. Trust me, won’t be disappointed with the Galaxy S’ screen. For what it’s worth, I give a slight edge to Apple in this respect, but this is very much a personal preference. Under most conditions, contrast and color saturation levels were visibly better than my iPhone 4, but unlike Apple’s Retina display, you can definitely see pixels on Sammy’s 800×480 screen, and browsing tiny type on the web requires that you zoom in if you really want to read it. Samsung also claims the display has “80% less reflection”, but I really don’t have anything to compare that to. One thing you’ll definitely have to get used to quickly is having to wipe its shiny screen off all the time – it’s a massive fingerprint magnet – but so are most touchscreen smartphones these days, right? The back is equally as fingerprinty.Īt the heart of the Galaxy S is a bright Super AMOLED display, measuring 4-inches diagonal – besting Apple’s 3.5-inch display in terms of real-estate, while still fitting in almost the same package size. While I’m not thrilled with the plastic case design, it does mean the phone is very lightweight (119g), and feels good in your hand. The power/standby button is on the top right side of the phone, while the This navigational mechanism worked well for me in my tests and took virtually no time to get used to coming from my iPhone. It’s a little hard to tell from these pictures, but the Galaxy S features three primary controls on the front, a push button for selecting menu options and two backlit touch-sensitive locations – on the left, a context menu, and on the right, a back button. As a matter of fact, it looks like it’s exactly the same thickness as my iPhone 4 – and actually seems a little thinner due to the curved edges. Officially, it measures 9.9mm thick, and the iPhone 4 measures 9.3mm, but I certainly couldn’t tell the 0.6mm difference. When I first unboxedthe Galaxy S, its sleek, thin design is what immediately caught my eye.
Unlike big chunky phones like the HTC EVO, the Galaxy S is about the same size as the iPhone 4, and aimed directly at stepping into Apple’s territory. T-Mobile is also releasing a version of the Galaxy S, branded Vibrant, Verizon has the Fascinate, and Sprint is readying the 4G version, the Epic 4G. The model I tested came with an AT&T SIM, so I can imagine the experience will be very similar to the Galaxy S Captivate, which releases on July 18th.
RECENT MENU GALAXY S SERIES
To be specific, I tested the GT-I9000 – which appears to be the reference model for the series – and put it through its paces. I recently had the chance to get my hands on Samsung’s new Android smartphone, the Galaxy S.
