Samsung Galaxy – How Good Is It?
Apple’s iPhone family have dominated the smartphone charts for the last couple of years, with a few serious challenges, but nothing that could quite unseat the market leader. With the new iPhone launched recently, it looks like the challenge has become even more difficult. The Samsung Galaxy S didn’t receive quite the same level of publicity on its recent launch, but could the Korean company’s best ever smart phone give Apple a run for their money?
Looking at the Galaxy S, you are immediately drawn to the size of the smartphone’s touchscreen. At 4 inches, it is a good half an inch bigger than the latest iPhone’s screen, and wrapped up in a quality looking case that has just the right balance of light plastic and sophisticated chrome, the overall result is a quality looking smartphone.
The screen is even more impressive when it’s switched on. The high resolution Super AMOLED display makes everything come to life on the phone. Colors are bright and vibrant, and the superb contrast makes everything appear crisp and clear. The visual performance of the display is matched by its touchscreen capabilities, with a responsive touch that is easy and enjoyable to use.
The Galaxy S has a 5 megapixel camera, and while this is about average for a high end smartphone, and the same as the iPhone 4, the Samsung software lets you adjust and tweak a whole range of settings, giving you much more control over your photos. There’s also full 720p hi definition video capture, which makes up for the fact the Galaxy S has no flash, relying on its ‘night mode’ instead.
It’s when you are playing media on the Galaxy S that you start to think that this could actually be one of the best smartphone’s on the market. Samsung have worked hard to make the Samsung Galaxy S the best media player available, and if it isn’t, it’s pretty close – with the amazing screen for video, an impressive music player, and features like virtual surround sound. Plus there’s up to 48GB of storage, so you should have whatever you want to watch or listen, when you want it.
The latest Android operating system works well with Samsung’s own Touchwiz user interface, and the Galaxy S matches all the other smartphones on the connectivity front with data over 3G, WiFi capability, as well as Bluetooth and GPS. A powerful battery and nippy 1GHz processor make sure that, whatever the demands placed on it, the Galaxy S gives a smooth performance.
Whether you prefer text, e-mail or the various social networks, the Samsung Galaxy S lets you integrate all your communications, making it easy to stay in touch, how and when you want to. You can also make the Galaxy S into the smartphone you want it to be with apps from both Samsung and Android.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S an iPhone slayer? It’s hard to say. There are a lot of things it does very well, but we’ll have to see whether it does everything well enough to take on the smartphone king. One thing’s for sure, it’s certainly a genuine alternative to the Apple smartphone.
