Samsung has unveiled the next in its Android-powered line of smartphones – the Galaxy S.
The new phone packs a huge four inch screen with Super AMOLED technology – meaning a wider viewing angle, more vivid colours and a more ‘immersive’ experience according to Samsung.
The Galaxy S also comes with a 1GHz processor – bringing it up to speed with the likes of the HTC Desire and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 – which should mean lightning fast loading times.
It’s Android 2.1-enabled right out the box, which means some cool extras like Live Wallpapers, and Layar augmented reality browser is included as well.
The camera side of things is taken care of with a 5MP snapper and forward facing video camera, although there’s no mention of an LED flash.
Pocket-light
Dimensions-wise we’re looking at 64.2 x 122.4 x 9.9mm and a weight of 118g, so not too bad in the pocket at all. Plus Samsung is throwing in either 16GB or 8GB of onboard storage with a microSD card slot for extra movies.
Add in all the natural Android extras – GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 etc – and you’re looking at a pretty well-specified phone. Well, it needs to be to erase the memory of the Galaxy and Galaxy Portal, which were pretty snooze-worthy from Samsung.
The bad news is that while this is definitely going to be a worldwide release, there’s no UK release date and certainly no UK price as yet for the Samsung Galaxy S – but all will become clear soon, we reckon.
