Samsung Galaxy S Review

(GT-I9000) Score: 58.2 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S is a bit outdated Android phone launched in 2010, counting with a fast 1 gigahertz processing unit, a 4" display, and two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. Let's take a closer sight of what this cellphone can do.

Samsung did a very good job making the S weight only 4.16 ounces. This phone is just 0.39" thick, making its way into the thinnest devices podium.

Samsung packed this phone with a good looking 4 inches screen, and a resolution of 800 x 480 , which makes all photos and movies look beautiful. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

Samsung decided to equip the Samsung Galaxy S using a powerful CPU ticking at 1000 megahertz and 512 MB of RAM. A nice feature of this phone is its 16 GB quite large internal memory and a slot for an external memory card, which allows you to install hundreds of applications without running out of space.

This cellphone has WiFi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a wireless router or modem) and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM connection.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera. It is also able to capture videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. Additionally, this phone's camera also includes a couple of interesting characteristics like fast burst mode, auto-focus and smile detection shooting.

This cellphone features a mid sized 1500 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides this phone a quite short battery life. Samsung afirms this cellphone has a 750 hs stand by time and a 13.4 hours talk time.

This device also includes a handful of interesting features like Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is being sold for $ 233, a high price for this type of cellphone. No matter if you will use it as a social phone or are looking for a device for playing games, this phone is definitely a good choice .
