The Samsung Galaxy S utilises v2.1 of the Android operating system,The Galaxy S By Samsung Is A Great All Rounder Articles and this works alongside a Cortex 1GHz processor to provide lightening fast reaction times when navigating the user interface. The user interface is Samsung’s custom UI called TouchWiz 3.0. This has a number of clever features which range from customisable homescreens and contact lists as well as the very clever Swype text input system. This allows users to simply slide their finger from one button to the other when inputting text. Not only is this quicker than repeatedly tapping away at the screen, but more accurate as well.  Access to the Android Market is provided as standard as well as access to the Samsung AppStore. These options allow users to browse thousands of additional apps and widgets and then download and install them either free of charge, or for a fee, depending on the app purchased. By doing this, users can add to the everyday versatility and functionality of the phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S boasts a large 4 inch super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen (480x 800 pixel layout) which is amongst the most advanced currently available from a mobile phone. It is capable of displaying HD video in crisp, bright clarity making it perfect for viewing photos and video files. Plenty of storage is available for such data as well as music tracks, as either 8GB or 16GB of internal storage is provided as standard depending on the model purchased.  With a versatile internal media player which supports a wide range of music and video file formats, as well as 3.5mm headset jack, the Samsung Galaxy S is also a very effective entertainment device.

Browsing the internet is a lightning fast experience, especially via a Wi-Fi connection or 3G, which is available at speeds of up to 7.2Mbps courtesy of an HSDPA connection. Browsing is easy thanks to the touchscreen technology which easily allows users to zoom into webpages to read text.

A 5MP camera is provided which takes not only great quality still images, but also HD video footage which can be played back in all its glory on the large screen. It is an ideal camera for the amateur snapshot taker as well as the photography enthusiast.

Obviously the Samsung Galaxy S is not the smallest phone in the world because of its large screen size, but Samsung has somehow managed to pack an unbelievable amount of technology into a handset which measures only 9.9mm thick!

This phone is the perfect choice for someone who is looking for a viable alternative to the mainstream smartphones currently available, yet still packed some of the most advanced technology on the market.
