The Samsung Galaxy S Is An Advanced Touch Screen Phone

Samsung has recently announced the release of a stunning new handset, the i9000 Galaxy S.  Boasting an advanced touch screen, five mega pixel digital camera and Android operating system, this technologically advanced Smartphone looks sure to be a hit for the manufacturer.

The five mega pixel digital camera takes excellent quality snapshots thanks to a pixel resolution of 2592x 1944.  A number of image enhancing features simplifies the task of taking quality photos.  These include Autofocus, touch focus and face & smile detection as well as geo-tagging which uses GPS to record the location at which a photo was taken.  The camera can also shoot high quality video in 720p at a rate of 30 frames per second along with a secondary video shooting in VGA quality.

In order to provide the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S with optimum connectivity levels, a number of features are utilised.  In order to stay connected to cellular networks, class 12 versions of both EDGE & GPRS are utilised.  Connection to the Internet is provided by both Wi-Fi and 3G.  In areas covered by 3G, an HSDPA connection provides speeds of up to 7.2 mega bytes per second (alongside HSUPA at 5.76 mega bytes per second).  Whenever a signal is detected from a wireless Internet router, Wi-Fi takes advantage of this providing users with a much faster connection, and therefore enhanced web browsing experience.  In order to connect the Samsung Galaxy S to a computer, a micro USB connection is provided.  This allows a number of tasks to be carried out such as transferring media files and backing up contact information.

Depending on the model, either 8 GB or 16 GB of internal storage is provided.  Even the basic version, therefore allows an impressive amount of data to be stored.  A micro SD slot is also provided for Data Storage and can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB.  The internal phonebook is certainly spacious and can store a practically unlimited number of entries and fields and boasts the popular Photocall feature.

Due to the large 4 inch touch screen, the Samsung Galaxy S isn't the smallest handset in the world although it is extremely slimline at just 9.9 mm and its light weight of 118 g makes it a reasonably pocket friendly handset.

The 4 inch super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen can display up to 16M colours within a pixel layout of 480x 800 pixels.  This results in stunningly high quality display of on screen images.  An accelerometer sensor is built into the handset which automatically rotates the on screen image dependent upon the orientation of the phone.  This means is that it can be viewed in both portrait and landscape which is ideal for viewing video files.

An impressive level of everyday functionality is achieved thanks to be long list of extra features and applications, and the Android OS (v2.1, Eclair).  These features range from a versatile media player, document viewer of and a number of applications which offer direct access to popular websites such as YouTube, Google and Picasa.

Samsung have a reputation for building high quality touch screen mobiles, and the Galaxy S is a fine example of the manufacturer's capabilities.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner.

Why do Android fanboys hate admitting that Samsung copied Apple?

It's impossible to cover the mobile market without diving into the good ol' "iOS vs. Android" debate from time to time. These are the two biggest mobile platforms on the planet, so they're constantly being compared. Likewise, Samsung and Apple are the world's top two smartphone vendors, so their phones are constantly pitted against each other as well. Of course, there's another reason Apple and Samsung are often mentioned in the same breath: after entering the market, Samsung quickly grew to become the top mobile device maker on the planet thanks in large part to Apple. First, Samsung did everything it possibly could to copy Apple's iPhone and iPad. Then, it spent billions upon billions of dollars belittling Apple products in TV, online, and print advertising. Samsung spent years positioning its own devices as the cool alternative to Apple's iPhone, and its efforts paid off big time. Even now, Samsung continues to copy Apple all the time acro
