Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy S is one of the best Android smartphone available in the market and since I consider getting one, I look at some of the specifications and the power of this smartphone. 

This 4-inch, Super AMOLED, 800 x 480, IPS-killing display has been the screen that could amaze you even if the smartphone is subjected to bright sunshine flowing directly at it. This is probably one of the finest displays at the moment, very much comparable with the iPhone 4 retina display. 
The Hummingbird processor is powerful as well, making the pinch-to-zoom to be superbly smooth. 

The 720p video recording at a cool 30fps is on offer, along with a 5 megapixel imager on the back and a 1.3 megapixel one on the front. Both picture and video processing were done rapidly. 


On the software front, you've got TouchWiz 3.0 overlaid atop Android, though if you're keen on sticking to the stock Google-flavored Eclair, the good news is that Samsung's modifications don't really get in your way. 

Aside from the Social Hub -- which aggregates Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other social networks into one stream, in a similar vein to what almost everyone else is doing lately -- they're mostly in-app changes and skinning tweaks that shouldn't have a negative impact on the user experience. 

The handling of contacts were amazing as you could swipe it to the right on a contact's name to automatically dial his phone number, whereas swiping left initiates a text message with him as the addressee. This is definitely smooth, and user-friendly...something that Samsung has been very good at lately.

Of course, there are much more free apps on the Android market in comparison to the Apple store...
