The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S lets you dive into a world of apps - over 30,000 of them. It also gives you the power to shoot full HD video and photos with its 5 megapixel camera. And if you love being online but hate the wait, the speed of your Galaxy S will wow you.
The 4 inch super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen can display up to 16M colours within a pixel layout of 480x 800 pixels. This results in stunningly high quality display of on screen images. An accelerometer sensor is built into the handset which automatically rotates the on screen image dependent upon the orientation of the phone. This means is that it can be viewed in both portrait and landscape which is ideal for viewing video files.
The five mega pixel digital camera takes excellent quality snapshots thanks to a pixel resolution of 2592x 1944. A number of image enhancing features simplifies the task of taking quality photos. These include Autofocus, touch focus and face & smile detection as well as geo-tagging which uses GPS to record the location at which a photo was taken. The camera can also shoot high quality video in 720p at a rate of 30 frames per second along with a secondary video shooting in VGA quality.
Explore apps for Android
See your world differently
Layar is a clever app that shows off the world around you in a new way. Download it for free, then point the camera on your Galaxy S at a location. You'll see information like where to find good bars - or where your friends just sent their tweets from.
Great for connections
Need to find train times without searching a website? The Trainline app gives you all the latest info. Or maybe you need to stay connected to your Facebook friends - there's an app for that too.
Android Market™
The online Android Market is crammed full with over 30,000 amazing apps. Choose the ones that are right for you - whether that's an app to give you the local weather or one that brings you the latest sports results.
Get ready for HD
Shoot in high definition
Direct your own HD video clips - then enjoy your movies in amazing quality on the large 4" AMOLED screen. Or use the 5 megapixel auto-focus camera to take incredibly clear photos.
Hook it up to your TV
Want friends and family to see your high definition handiwork? Just plug your Samsung Galaxy S into your TV and share your directing skills with everyone.
Room for hours of video - and more
With 8GB of storage built in to your Samsung Galaxy S, there's loads of room for your home movies - and your photos, music and files. Need more space? Add up to another 16GB with a microSD card.
The web - only faster
Fly through websites
When you're in a 3G area, you can hit some pretty impressive speeds. Because the Galaxy S is not only built for fast internet access, but also has a 1GHz processor inside - it's the quickest you can get on a phone.
Open lots of windows at once
Here's a breath of fresh air - you can open lots of web browser windows at once on your Samsung Galaxy S. That'll help you get to the things you want without waiting around.
Zoom in and out in a pinch
You'll find it's a breeze to zoom in quickly on photos and web pages. Put your finger and thumb on the touchscreen, move them apart. Simply bring them together again to zoom out.

| Phone arrived next day. I am one month short of 77 years of age, so the whole set up thing was a VERY STEEP learning experience. Get a teenager to help you. Once up and running the clarity and QWERTY keyboard make entering info much easier then on previous smaller and more pocketable phone. Can still hit wrong letters. But overall a good experience, and I now understand why a smartphone is smart. |
