Smartphone Review: Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) Prices unavailable Recommended alternatives Editor's Choice HTC One X A Classic! Apple iPhone 4S Nokia Teams Up With Microsoft Nokia Lumia 800

Samsung is continuing to expand its range of Android phones with the Galaxy S (i9000), a high-end smartphone running on Android 2.1 (updates to 2.2 (Froyo) due this summer). It also has a surprisingly affordable price tag ... so long as you get it on a contract, of course.

With its 4-inch screen and heavyweight spec, easily worthy of the current cream of the crop (Google Nexus One, iPhone 4, HTC Desire), the Galaxy S is out to impress. Plus, with a decent range of multimedia functions and the Samsung TouchWiz 3.0 user interface pasted over Android promising greater comfort of use, this new smartphone looks seriously promising.

So is the Galaxy S worth snapping up? Can it match the HTC Desire and run circles round the Google Nexus One?  Time to find out if the Galaxy S really is out of this world!
