You are currently looking for Samsung Galaxy S may hear the news that Samsung Android smartphone weapons are already in-discontinue by Samsung Indonesia. This is strange considering this smartphone is Samsung's top-selling smartphone in the world. But now Samsung Galaxy S apparently woke up from sleep short, this time using Super Clear LCD screen, not the Super AMOLED, and had been taking Froyo Android 2.2 operating system.
The main features:
Super Clear LCD screen capacitive measuring 4 inches, WVGA resolution (800x480)
Android OS 2.2 Froyo with TouchWiz UI 3.0
1GHz processor, 512MB RAM
5MP camera with auto-focus, video recording 720p HD (1280x720)
Video player divx, xvid, mkv
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
HSDPA 900/1900/2100
Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n, WiFi tethering
GPS
Swype
You could see the differences. First with the use of Super Clear LCD, the thickness of the Galaxy S increased by about 0.7 mm, from 9.9mm to 10.59mm. And weight increased from 119 grams to 130 grams now. The possibility of increasing the battery capacity of 1500mAh to 1650mAH. But the excess capacity of these batteries do not seem to affect so many, given the Super AMOLED is more power efficient than the Super Clear LCD. Then it should be noted that changes the processor is used, from 1GHz Hummingbird (C111) to 1GHz OMAP 3630. And the use of Android Froyo 2.2 on the Galaxy's new generation. Other changes are changes in the amount of storage capacity and the phone internal memory.
Video introduction
Design and body
Many say that the Galaxy S has a design very similar to the iPhone. With curved corners, surface width and length, a large touch screen, every cell phone will also be like the iPhone, which should be recognized design has become a trendsetter since the first iPhone was introduced. We also heard many voices saying that the Galaxy S is made of cheap plastic that does not match the price in excess of 6 million dollars, but we do not think so murahannya plastic used as the material out of the Samsung Galaxy S. Compare it with the plastic material making up the Samsung Wave 5753 for example. Galaxy S remains impressive elegant in appearance as a smartphone, not less cool with a very distinctive X10 Xperia Sony Ericsson, and it looks simple. But it all was back again to your taste, good taste of course everyone is different. A regrettable of glossy plastic material in the Galaxy S as mobile bermaterial similar, it is easy to get dirty, even very easy to get dirty. In this case the Samsung Wave II metal bermaterial better.
The front, on top of existing proximity sensor, light sensor, earpiece and front camera for video calls over 3G networks. Below the screen there is a button in the middle of the button back to the homescreen, and the two touch buttons and menu buttons tombal back.
The back there is a 5 megapixel camera (no flash), and the loudspeaker, and the Samsung logo at the bottom.
The left side there are volume buttons.
The right side is the lock / power.
Screen
The screen on the Galaxy's "new" type Super Clear LCD, not the Super AMOLED like the first generation. They say the reason to replace it with SuperClear Samsung LCD because of limited raw materials Super Amoled. This is experienced by Samsung Wave II, which is generally the same as the first wave, only increased the size of the screen. Galaxy S is the screen is really the same as the first-generation air-Super Amoled, 4 inches with a resolution of 800x480 and 16 million colors. In quality at first glance does not differ much. However, it was from a narrow angle, LCD SuperClear lost to Super Amoled. Nevertheless LCD SuperClear still win a lot compared to standard TFT LCD X10-style, from the angle of vision and color quality.
Interface
-Like interface similar to other Samsung touch screen, ranging from non-smartphones like the Samsung Jet, Windows Mobile (Omnia), Bada (Wave) because it uses a custom UI that is by Samsung, the TouchWiz, rather more TouchWiz 3.0. 1GHz processor makes this smartphone faster and with almost no lag when sliding homescreen menu or screen.
Mengunlock way to the screen, by pressing the home screen, then wipe the screen in the direction of anything. There are 7 screens to be filled homescreen widget or shortcut. Wallpaper panorama shaped slide-sliding fit with the homescreen pages, we can use the Live Wallpapers to beautify the look of the screen (and drain the battery power and phone memory).
Default menu consists of three pages, which will increase with the applications you want to install.

There is a notification bar at the top that can be pulled down, and added a shortcut to turn off / turn on WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, profiles, and auto rotation. If you press the lock / power off for a while, there are options Silent mode, Data network mode (for power on / off data traffic), Flight mode, and Power off.
Input Text
There are several kinds of text input you can use, that is QWERTY, 3x4 keypad (abc), handwriting box 1 and box 2. In addition you can also use Swype is already integrated into the Galaxy S is an alternative text input. Swype has been supporting the Indonesian so that typing would feel easier if you have mastered it. The screen is large and sensitive making typing becomes uncomfortable and you will rarely make a mistake typing on this phone.
Phonebook
As with other Android phones you can synchronize contacts with Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Google Mail account you. From your contacts can see the profile picture, update status of the relevant, email address, and other information that he shared in the account Facebook / Twitter. In fact you can see the media (photos and video) that he uploaded via Facebook.
Messaging
SMS is displayed in a threaded fashion. To change your SMS to MMS media mengatachment enough to be sent. There is no inherent block SMS spam features such as the Samsung Wave II.
Email, of course, fully supported by Gmail. Push email, synchronization, all went well. It can even support multiple Gmail accounts at once. It's just quite difficult to synchronize with Yahoo Mail, need some specific settings, unlike the Wave series which can directly sync without adjusting again. The same thing is happening on other Android handsets. If any incoming email there will be email logo at the top left, and you go to the bar to see the email notifications.
Instant messenger that there is always inherent in the Galaxy S and all Android handset is GTalk, and always online everytime we turn on the phone. But if you do not need to be online continuously GTalk settingannya you just replace it. Notifications can be set, can be raised or not raised when the incoming message will adorn the screen on the notification bar. Vibration and ringtone notifications can also be arranged. It's just unfortunately Galaxy S is equipped with LED light notification like some other Android handsets and on all Blackberry handsets.
Camera
Galaxy S is equipped with a resolution of 5 MP camera (2560x1920 pixel precise) with Autofocus and touch focus. The interface on the camera is similar to other Samsung phones, and pretty easy to use; thumbnailnya was big enough to allow you to input. Too bad for no one snapped a picture so that the camera shutter button feels less feel photographed. Instead there are touch focus. Front of the camera can be used to take pictures with resolution up to VGA.
These features are complete enough cameras include: Shooting mode (single, Smile shot, continuous, panorama, action), Scene (Landscape, Night, Sports, Party / indoor, Beach / snow, sunset, dawn, color of fall, fireworks , text, candlelight, backlight), White balance (Auto, Daylight, incandescents, Fluorescent, Cloudy), Timer (2,5,10 seconds), resolution (5MP, 3.2 MP, 2MP, 0.3MP, MP 4 wide, wide 2.4MP, 1.5 MP wide and wide 0.4MP), effects (sepia, black and white, and negative), exposure value, ISO (100,200,400,800) Anti Shake, Auto contrast, blink detection, image quality. We can add guide lines (guidelines), and turn on GPS for geo-tagging.
The camera is pretty good for a 5 megapixel camera, especially with so many features on Galaxy S cameras allow you to make a good photograph. Not to mention the interface is intuitive and easy to understand, and the camera interface is smooth with no lag.
Video
For the video was wearing exactly 1280x720 pixels HD resolution with a framerate of 30 frames per second. Video features are Exposure value (-2 to +2), resolution (1280x720, 720x480, 640x480, 320x240), timer, white balance, effects, and adjust the video quality.
Video of course good results, although there is little frameskip, it went very smoothly. Also clear out the color, not pale. But the weakness is still fixed focus video so it can not record video with a close distance to the object, unlike the X10 is in fact already on continuous autofocus that uses 4 or iPhone touch to focus when recording video. 20-second video file size of 33.5MB yield, mean estimate of one minute around 100MB. Wow, very wasteful of memory, although the results are good.

Music Players
The music player Samsung Galaxy S look very nice, and has features exceptional. You can view the album art in thumbnail, list view, or a disc view. For songs that are not included album art adorned with attractive colors to enliven the atmosphere. If you are bored with the album art then you can turn on the "visualization" where there will be an equalizer bar to the music. When the player minimized, in the notification bar there is a pause button, previous and next song to make it easier.
In addition to appearance, sound quality is quite removed from the headset also topnotch. There are several equalizer options to choose from, namely: Auto, Normal, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Dance, Classic, Live, and Custom, where you can set the equalizer to your taste. In addition there is also an equalizer effect, the sound effects there are Normal, Wide, Concert Hall, Music clarity, bass enhancement, and Externalisation. You could say that the taste is the concert hall, the sound coming out as if from a live concert. You can also use a 5.1 channel effects, but you have normal to the equalizer and effects are you using, is tedious, not like the Samsung Jet and the effects of normal equalisernya by itself when you turn on the 5.1 channel. These effects will not be felt if you use a loudspeaker, the results of the loudspeaker itself is quite hard and even met a nice treble.
Video Player
Samsung video players can play the Galaxy S is claimed to format divx, xvid, and mkv. But the Galaxy S that we received, there is a smoothly divx videos and there are just out of his voice, while not able to play mkv format, mkv file when we use relatively small, the size of 300MB with a resolution of 704x396 pixels, and bitrate 536kbps only. Quite strange because the Samsung Wave II just can turn this video quite smoothly. 720p HD resolution mp4 files that we download from Youtube also does not play, but X10 and Wave II could play it very smoothly. Maybe there was a problem with the unit we received S Galaxy. While the VGA resolution mp4 road to perfection. 5.1 channel effect can be used when playing videos.
Photo Gallery
Photo and video gallery includes typical Android on Samsung Galaxy S this. It looks very nice, with 3d effects if we tilt the phone. Thumbnail images are arranged in a single folder at random, like a real photo. To perform image-specific loading sometimes a bit slow. Pinch and zoom can be done to perform zooming, which in our opinion it's actually not that useful because for some reason the pictures in the gallery seem sized to fit the screen size, as evidenced when we include images of high resolution DSLR (15MP), photo is legible, but when the results dizoom cracked, not as if dizoom through a PC that is still sharp until the actual pixel size of the image.
FM Radio
To play your favorite broadcasts must plug your headset. Region can be selected, and can show information radio station is playing.
Connectivity
Samsung Galaxy S runs on the GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz and HSDPA 900/1900/2100 MHz, has a maximum speed of 7.2Mbps HSDPA and HSUPA 5.76Mbps up. But of course the network operators in Indonesia have not been that fast. Additionally bluetooth is version 3.0, an increase when compared with the version that is still SuperAmolednya 2.1. Then there is the assisted GPS, and WiFi 802.11 b / g / n. WiFi tethering (Mobile AP) helped complete the Galaxy S, you can be pulled share your internet network (3G or GPRS) via WiFi, and device that can connect a maximum of 3 pieces. Then there is the USB tethering, your phone into a 3G internet modem.
If we connect the phone to a PC via the micro USB, the options available is the Samsung Kies, Media Player, and Mass Storage. Internal and external SD SD both can be read on the PC. Samsung Galaxy does have two internal storage, the phone internal storage of 4GB and 16GB of internal SD card. But that's not including the reduction of capacity in use by the system. All of which you can add a micro SD external memory which can be read up to 32GB capacity.
Browser
Browser's Samsung Galaxy S can be spelled the same as other Android smartphones, but the advantages of OS Froyo which allows playback of flash in the browser looks here. At first it can not play flash, although the option to play the Flash in the setting is enabled. After we installed the latest Adobe Flash 10.1 from Adobe (format. Apk as other Android apps). Maybe our handsets are no Flashlite 10.1, because the official specs from Samsung which we should have been there. This browser can play flash from Youtube, quite smoothly despite the occasional lag. Viwawa gaming sites can also be played smoothly.
Here's a video about Samsung flash supported browser Galaxy S

Default Applications

Crazy Snowboard
games we have reviewed this is a game about snowboarding. This game runs very smoothly on the Galaxy S.
Benchmark Test Results
As usual we close all applications and clear the memory prior to the task manager congenital Samsung, and measured using a Quadrant Standard benchmark, and the results achieved is 742. Score is lower than the Galaxy S was uploaded there (probably version Super AMOLED). So maybe his performance was different. But these results still beat X10, Desire, and Nexus One (2.1)
Battery life
Battery capacity is increased, from 1500 mAh to 1650 mAh, but we still feel the Galaxy S is a little bit extravagant. We are fiddling (trying video, applications, browsing, chat, use of other heavyweight) from 8 am when the indicator 100% and at 3 pm 15% battery.
Conclusion
With various advantages and disadvantages, King Android Smartphone from Samsung is indeed still have a myriad of features and outstanding ability, not to mention the use of Froyo OS 2.2, but use a little more extravagant LCD SuperClear of Super AMOLED. However SuperClear quality LCD screen is very sharp, clear and bright and can be said is comparable to the Super AMOLED screen.
