Samsung Galaxy S Reviews

Overall WhistleOut Score:

87/100

V.Positive

"Combine this with everything Samsung has stuffed under the bonnet of the Samsung Galaxy S (TV-out support, a five megapixel camera that takes excellent 720p HD videos and up to 16GB of internal storage alongside a microSD slot), and what you’re looking at is one of the most powerful multimedia smartphones ever, and certainly the best phone Samsung has ever crafted."

"Turn it on, and any reservations about build are blown away. It’s not the first phone we’ve seen with Samsung’s Super AMOLED tech, but the Galaxy S’s responsive 4in touchscreen really shows off just how bright and sharp it is."

"The lightest touch will produce an instant reaction, and coupled with the 1GHz processor from Samsung, the Galaxy S will rarely slow down from your input." 4.5/5 Stars

"Sure it looks like an iPhone, but on the inside the Galaxy S is a web-browsing, media-playing beast of a smartphone, and one of the best Android phones in Australia today." 9/10

"The transition between the touch-sensitive screen and the touch-sensitive keys is seamless. The home key on the other hand, is well sized and solid to press, so no worries here either."

"...the Samsung GALAXY S is a really cool phone, with just a few quirks, the biggest of which is the lack of camera flash."

"...one other thing we really enjoyed using on the Galaxy S – the handwriting input method for writing text messages. After a bit of practice, we found it fun, fast and kind of intuitive." 4/5 Stars

"With a powerful 1Ghz processor, it joins a new breed of handsets labelled 'superphones' by Google, and its dazzling super AMOLED LCD touch screen puts it in the running with the much celebrated HTC Desire."

Positive

"...a delight to use, thanks to one of the best displays we've ever seen on a smartphone and Google's Android operating system. However, an all-plastic body and a user interface that feels unpolished in parts detract from its appeal."

"We can’t fault the Galaxy S on phone performance. Voice calls are clear and loud, and the speakerphone is suitably booming."

"Samsung has put in support for both DivX and Xvid movie formats giving you the maximum amount of playback possible for your video files."
