the spec is nice but 'meh' for the design. why must samsung try to replicate iphone? going as far as skinning android to look like iphone OS. that is just so wrong.

Its samsung new UI, Smart LifeUI. Same like what they do to their new.. badaOS... its home screen, apps list and also the default app on the bottom screen is customizable (I already watch the badaOS hands on vid from WMC 2010 before)..
apple won't targeting android for it.. its just samsung new ui.. soon apple phone also will use amoled screen by samsung... they won't dare to sue them... in my point of view la

Unusually for an Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S also boasts DLNA certified Wi-Fi for media streaming, 8 or 16GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot, and support for AVI, FLV and even MKV video files, potentially making it the best multimedia mobile yet.
Samsung has confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S is getting a global launch, and yes, that includes the UK. While a date more specific than “soon” is still MIA, Samsung UK assures us that more details will be revealed shortly. Has the HTC Desire already been trumped? drool.gif

But Samsung is producing nice phone so far although some say it's look alike iPhone or whatever...
Hopefully when the phone is available here, the price will not be like Omnia II at first arrived which's so expensive.. nod.gif

indeed cuz from the review i heard that Desire is one of the most powerful Android Smartphone uptodate.
lightning fast. its like nexus one predessecor. except HTC isnt known for the best Multimedia such as the sounds from the speaker or the camera
like samsung. i mean buying expensive phones like this, you want a phone that wins All rounder, not just at one side right? lol

thats what attracts me the most, Samsung are ALWAYS good with multimedia phones and not just business phones! but i think HTC are realesing HTC EVO with 4G.
im not sure how good it is, but it looks like a multimedia phone by HTC since t hey starting to have 2 cameras. Desire is good but im more of a multimedia person . especially with the 4 super amoled screen and HD recording! when is it gonna be available in malaysia anyway???


i just read HTC EVO comes with the HDMI output LOL SHEEIIT! and 4.3 screen,thats humonguous! gonna be a tough competition for samsung galaxy.

In my opinion, it is true that iphone is getting left behind slowly.... i am not an iphone fan, in fact currently i am using HTC and currently i am considering another HTC or maybe the galaxy in the future. What i wanted to say here is that even though the galaxy is far more superior than any other phone currently (in terms of hardware) i believe iphone was the trend setter for all of the phones in the market. So to me, basically many of the current phones in a way it resembles iphone. We can even see the current phones when it was first released, it will make comparison with the iphone 3gs. We have to bear in mind that 3gs was released back in june 2009 but still most people want to make comnparison with the newer phones.

Well this is my opinion since many here are comparing with iphone... blush.gif

On the other hand from what i read on the net, the galaxy is brilliant and hopefully it will come to malaysia soon rclxms.gif

cant agree anymore . for me , I dislike Samsung UI , it has quite bad reputation among the smart phones . The apps interface look like apple =.= .. just go to youtube and have a glance . Believe your eye . Compare the response of Nexus one , Desire and Galaxy S . All of them have 1ghz processor , but HTC sense UI has better responses than Samsung UI .

Actually Galaxy has better advantage because of super amoled screen
"Unlike regular AMOLED screens, the Super AMOLED screen places touch sensors right on top of the AMOLED screen, which eliminates the need for an additional touch sensor panel, removes air gaps, and improves touch sensitivity."
but still , slower responses ! if you watch Samsung Galaxy S hand CTIA in youtube , you will notice some lagging. Actually I changed my mind from Desire to Galaxy , but after I watch the slow Samsung UI , ow , just stick to HTC Desire . Something is not perfect with Samsung UI because the programming of UI doesnt fit the logic design of the hardware itself .

nop , sense UI is for HTC phone only ... Nexus can use Desire ROM Sense UI , but it has bugs , like bluetooth not working . This means Even flash in sense UI ROM in phone(Nexus - Desire) that are from the same manufacturer (HTC) also having bugs , so dont even mention the phones which are from different manufacturer (HTC - Samsung) . If you use Desire Rom and flash in Samsung or milestone , kaboom ! it will make your phone not bootable because not same driver. but you can download custom roms , which mean they make Samsung UI to look like HTC Sense UI .. but it only "looks like " , wont "smooth like" , what to say ? not original UI ~

act Sense UI can be installed in any phone, as long as there is dev who works for it and port the rom to work with other android device specifically.

the reason why u see only Nexus one has it is because lots of devs out there are using the nexus one. Paul himself use nexus one (now he has desire also).

and not fully working like bluetooth is not a real problem and u know why modaco named it as alpha rom? not full or beta? because he believed (or he wants us to believe) that everything can be fixed and we gonna get fully working htc sense UI (bluetooth, radio, flash) on nexus one.

So far there is very less dev work Sense UI for Samsung so I concluded it kinda impossible , there are lots of extra work to do if flash in Sense UI into phone which are not HTC . There is a forumer told me before. Now Paul is busy to root Legend and Desire , and X10 is on the way to his hands. So , if I want HTC sense , I rather get a HTC phone with Sense , rather than get a Samsung galaxy and wait for dev to work Sense UI on it .

result from google.cn ,
"傳Samsung Galaxy S於 6月正式發售,售價大約為$8000港元Android資訊雜誌"
Samsung Galaxy S will officially on sale in June, priced at about HK $ 8000 from Android News Magazine

from www.unwiredview.com/
http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/03/31/new-...ntly-cost-e600/
" interesting piece of info is related to the price of Samsung Galaxy S. In Russia, the smartphone will reportedly cost about 30,000 rubles – that’s the equivalent of €755. However, it’s said that the handset’s price in other European countries will be of only €600 (about $808)."

seem this phone aint come with affordable pricetag , if under 2.4 I still can consider ...but at least 2.8k ... rclxub.gif

compare to 2K Desire , the super amoled screen and 8gb ROM is only better than Desire Amoled + 512 ROM ... but does it worth 1k ? Superamoled screen increase 80% non-reflective under sunlight ,I dont work under sun == , Amoled screen is enough . with Rm1xx , already can get 16gb SDHC card . So Rm1k doesnt worth for screen + 8gb rom . but you have extra bucks , then nvm smile.gif .. I still prefer HTC sense UI , Samsung UI is low responsive sweat.gif .. and HTC has a strong bond with Google , Google will take really care of HTC brows.gif .. I heard Samsung update policy very bad ?

overall the phone hardware specification is quite good , but WT*F ? no flash ?


check the back of galaxy S
user posted image

jump to 0:26 , tried 3 times ?!


Samsung need to enhance more on UI


Compare the responsive of UI ,
HTC Desire jump to 0:40 , clicking camera icon


Galaxy S jump to 2:18 , clicking camera icon


If you check all Galaxy S video in youtube , you definitely can notice the slow responsive of Samsung UI . Such a waste for bad UI for a good phone !

(For Samsung super fans)
note : I am not trying to make Galaxy S to look bad rclxub.gif , just sharing the truths

Despite the high initial retail value of Samsung phones, few months after that hoo-haa and we will see price crashing down. Haven't we see that before? INNOV8, Omnia HD i8910, what else?

Super AMOLED is nice. No doubt about it. But Samsung is notorious for pushing new high techs for incredible pricing and then comes the mainstream manufacturers with more competitive pricing. After all, Samsung supplies a lot of the components in your average mobile phone. In other words, the mobile phone business is just another hobby of theirs. nod.gif

Yes, can always consider SG sets thumbup.gif

Frankly speaking, this is not Samsung's fault although they are notorious for pushing new tech at high prices. Still it is the local distributors that screwed it all. FMG has been equally notorious for charging high prices for feature phones during the rise of smart phones. Have you guys ever heard of RM24xx on a feature phone during the 2004-2006? Crazee... and the usual phones were selling well below that kind of price.

FMG was slow to bring in better Samsung phones and kept on with their mainly similar models plan.

phone speakers are meant to be soft cool2.gif . I prefer to use headset with phones rather than speaker . If I want to use speaker , I rather blast it with my pc speakers flex.gif . But Galaxy doesnt worth Rm1k more compare to Desire , for me who dont extra bucks to spend . Now most of the ppl can take pic of themself without looking on the screen , so the front VGA is not necessary blush.gif ... haha you can just check the youtube handon , samsung UI = laggy , sigh rclxub.gif ... just like great nvidia GPU with bad firmware , cant unleash full potential ... if not , this will be a good phone

If the quality of UI is still laggy, then it'll be same as Omnia II..
Now even can get for RM1500..  doh.gif  doh.gif

Don't worry, video hands-on during the launching convention showed that the UI is damn smooth and fluid. Its exactly the same as iPhone fluidity I dare to say. My concern is that heavily customized interface. It doesn't look like typical Android OS. Knowing Samsung's history of releasing updates or fixing issues (at least for Malaysia region), potential Android OS updates may be late if at all.

The beauty of Android OS is its completely free (almost). So corporations that doesn't have their own OS platform tend to build their interface/branding on top of Android like HTC. In the case of Samsung Galaxy S, it looks like they want to bury that Android 2.1 as deep as possible and make it look like their own flagship interface ala TouchWiz or Bada-lookalike. High chance, Bada OS is something build on top of Android hehehehe.... but I don't know enough to be sure.

phone speakers are meant to be soft cool2.gif . I prefer to use headset with phones rather than speaker . If I want to use speaker , I rather blast it with my pc speakers flex.gif . But Galaxy doesnt worth Rm1k more compare to Desire , for me who dont extra bucks to spend . Now most of the ppl can take pic of themself without looking on the screen , so the front VGA is not necessary blush.gif  ... haha you can just check the youtube handon , samsung UI = laggy , sigh  rclxub.gif  ... just like great nvidia GPU with bad firmware , cant unleash full potential ... if not , this will be a good phone

I think a regular consumer's definition of a good phone speaker is one that produce clarity, good frequency response, intelligible speakerphone and of a certain amount of volume. Of course it won't replace your favorite IEMs or dedicated speakers. But the Desire's speaker is especially tiny. I tried the Nexus One before and the sound is 'Ki Ci Lai' compared to the Milestone which was more full bodied. I have a feeling Desire would be the same as Nexus One due to their similarities.

Hehehe I think people who uses the front VGA camera to take picture doesn't know that the quality is worse than the main camera. I do know some female friends who uses the front facing camera as a 'digital mirror'. Yes its weird. Continuing on the front facing camera, its function is now not really significant. Not many people (at least among the people around me) uses video call or wouldn't miss it if it was removed. Maybe mainstream consumers want that.

Well if it is retail set, the firmware/software may well be of a later revision. Meaning the UI could be more polished and bugs fixed. If Samsung really want to make a successful phone, I believe they will do their best to ensure the firmware/software is optimized for prime time.

So the guy before you isn't entirely incorrect.

cant agree anymore . for me , I dislike Samsung UI , it has quite bad reputation among the smart phones . The apps interface look like apple =.= .. just go to youtube and have a glance . Believe your eye . Compare the response of Nexus one , Desire and Galaxy S . All of them have 1ghz processor , but HTC sense UI has better responses than Samsung UI .

Actually Galaxy has better advantage because of super amoled screen
"Unlike regular AMOLED screens, the Super AMOLED screen places touch sensors right on top of the AMOLED screen, which eliminates the need for an additional touch sensor panel, removes air gaps, and improves touch sensitivity."
but still , slower responses ! if you watch Samsung Galaxy S hand CTIA in youtube  , you will notice some lagging. Actually I changed my mind from Desire to Galaxy , but after I watch the slow Samsung UI , ow , just stick to HTC Desire . Something is not perfect with Samsung UI because the programming of UI doesnt fit the logic design of the hardware itself .
*
Yupe agree with you that HTC sense is better than any other phones in the market now. But regarding the slow responses, i hope they were better in this phone because i used Omnia b4 but due to the sensitivity of the screen, i changed it.^^ But for galaxy, we need to test it when it release then we will only know the result as the video we saw is just a demo set. I think they will still improve it as the demo set has no flash. SO hope they can improve on the area that need improvement. ^^

I think Samsung sure will install a flash on Galaxy. If not they are really stupid, no flash on a Superphone? kidding man. No flash in the night pic, the super Amoled screen also cant help anything on it. So just be patient and see how Samsung improve on it. ^^

As shown in CTIA 2010, the first Android based Samsung phone seems to be a bit laggy. The developers say that the version present at the show is not the final one. The software and the hardware will suffer some modifications until the actual Samsung Galaxy S release date, in June 2010.

As for the costs for acquiring this phone, the manufacturers state that the Samsung Galaxy S price will be around $1000. Yes, that much. Counting on other phones being released in the market on that season, the sales numbers won’t actually go to the top of the charts. Android fans were expecting a phone that would cost around $500 and if this price remains unchanged until summer, we could see another disappointing.

cant wait this to be released

omg, i know the screen is great and the spec too, this is so much like a almost complete rip off from iphone.. too alike. the UI and the device itself.. iphone users will probably laugh at this saying it's a clone, like those china iphone.. =( sort of make android appears even more like a clone for iphone =(


oh yah if u watch the video carefully, u will notice the transition animation speed and the finger, and even the shaky hand holding the phone is shaking a bit fast.. i think they made the video a bit fast forward to accomodate the video length, but the phone is probably not as responsive as it seems, e.g. the aldiko ebook, from the seemly fast forwarded video is already taking a second of loading time - can be even longer in real life... =(

Anyway, the phone that they tested on is not an official one.. So, expect for a great improvement through the real official model..
And don't be like X10.. At last they're using andoid 1.6 which's for now, I don't know how much "faster" than Froyo... doh.gif

However, they also stated that the phone seems never runs out of memory. Maybe 256MB RAM is indeed enough for the I9000 Galaxy S.
Will the phone available in Malaysia? I think only maxis carry the Samsung Galaxy, and the Galaxy Spica seems not available in Malaysia also.

Yeah, probably a bad typo or wrong info received. GSM Arena made mistakes before so I'm not surprise it'll be fixed in due time. 256MB is really low for a phone. Just check Milestone and you will understand what I mean. In my opinion, at least 384MB, better if you have 512/576MB.

It appears that the Galaxy S is currently the best Android phone spec-wise. I wonder how will HTC respond? Snapdragon is inferior to Samsung's Hummingbird 1GHz CPU. This is going to get interesting..

ui and physical design is almost like an iPhone.. just look at the center main button.. the location, the function that brings u back to home is like iPhone. and also the location of back camera, the ring design.. just like iPhone.. and somehow i think the lack of flash is because Samsung sees how popular iPhone become even without flash vs other phone that has flash.. so they cant have flash too! hahah..

no doubt the spec is beast. cant wait to see what's the price here in malaysia.. now i'm sparing my 2nd phone for either iPhone 4g or one of android monster.. and this is definitely one of the candidates..

my number one? always Nexus One tongue.gif

in terms of spec galaxy is better.. but the interface, htc sense is one of the best and i dont think samsung ui can beat that..

and development support, HTC is always no 1 (nexus one is considered htc as well right?)

There is other things good about Galaxy S, the DivX and Xvid support, 720p video recording. However, I like the Sense UI more, there is rumor HTC Desire will get 720p video recording and DivX, Xvid support in the next firmware update. I hope it is true.

this maybe subjective, but yes i agree with you, that i prefer Sense UI over TouchWiz anytime...but when comparing this two, i tend to forgot 1 thing, this is android after all...i can replace the homescreen UI right? i can either use the stock UI or get another from the market...

i might not like the design (UI and phone shape) but if it's good, and of course competitively priced, it could be a good alternative to hTC desire (since i dont think i want to tie to maxis contract, i still need to wait, and the pink hue problem, it kinda more obvious than i though it would be) and by that time galaxy S could hit the market...

i like the processor + GPU if it is indeed powerVR SGX540...

software upgrade is indeed another problem, but with around 1.6GB available for apps installation (i do hope paid apps will be made available in Malaysia) should at least last until FroYo is out (if it ever makes it)...

OT: Gingerbread rumoured to be announced in Q4 2010, right? and when that time arrive, nexus one will be almost 1 years old, i'm wondering will google launch gingerbread with the new nexus two (or whichever name) if they decide to try with another device?

So many people said that Samsung's UI is not that good compare to others..
Laggy here and there...
But not so obvious because it also come from Android family..
If there's firmware update, I hope they fix up all of this lack.. hmm.gif

after watching some videos of the samsung Galaxy S, i still cant find myself to like the design and UI, so if i get it, most probably the TouchWiz will be turn off...

main reason i'm considering samsung galaxy S, is mainly due to the processor + GPU and the super AMOLED plus some extras such as wireless N, bluetooth 3.0...at least make the phone a bit future proof, well at least for a year...

Quadrant benchmark

found a Galaxy S benchmark from the link above, i know that Galaxy S was not among the phones benchmark, but check out the score, if Galaxy S is running 2.1 and scores much higher then nexus one pre-2.2, the hummingbird is indeed a very, very good processor...

shame bout the design and UI though...
most important it must be price competitively, please not let this be another X10 price range....

ok, there goes my hope, it is in the X10 price range...

check out singtel website, and some other link in the internet, the RRP without contract is indeed SGD1098, that SGD200 more expensive than hTC desire, means around RM480 more, which malaysia RRP could hit 2699 or 2799... shocking.gif

not only does this phone look like iphone, it's also price like iphone... doh.gif

got this from website

"Message Received from handtec ~ Thursday 27th May 2010
Thanks for your email,

We have had this query once already today so it seems to be cause of great debate as you have mentioned, we have been doing our research to ensure you receive the correct information, and in response to this i can confirm the Samsung I9000 does have an LED Flash, however in regards to the video light we cannot confirm this until the device has been released and tested.

I am very sorry i could not answer your question at this current time however as soon as we have the item we will be more than happy to test this out for you, in the meantime the only information we have managed to obtain from our sources is shown on the attached file.

The above information is pretty much the only info we have on this, and very little concrete evidence of the Video LED is available, once we receive stock we will of course validate this and ensure the site is updated accordingly.

Please advise if we can assist you further?

Kind regards.

no doubt it's a good phone due to the high-end spec...

but the UI and design is really iphone-ish...
- the top "circles" to indicate which homescreen you are in, yes stock android and Sense UI has it, but at least they are doing it differently...
- the four permanent shortcuts at the bottom...
- scroll from left to right, the 1st homescreen of the TouchWiz is furthest left, instead of center...
- again the top "circles" + 4-icons in the bottom + scroll from left to right in the all programs launcher = iphone "homescreen"...
- the phone design looks like iphone from far...

if it werent for the widgets.....

one thing i dont understand bout the UI, is the redundant home icon on the UI...in a video i watched, i saw a home icon on the bottom right when the reviewer is in all programs, why set a home icon there while can just hit the home button?

but i'm as disappointed with the price as much as with the design...i'm not sure bout the price in malaysia yet, but for SGD1098, the price is kinda steep and the stuff tv preview said the built quality is a bit plasticky...

i'll wait for more reviews before deciding to either get this or hTC desire (without being tied to maxis)

So do I..
I hope anybody use this phone soon will give any feedback..
But 1 thing for sure is it's plastic body which's more than a letdown especially to match with it's price..

Consider this phone is better than HTC Desire, I bet the price will surely be more expensive.

Personally, this UI is better than Sense. At least the there is few page of apps, which is easier to browse instead of sense which you have to scroll down the whole list.

Might be better and might be not..
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...7&idPhone2=3115
Above link is comparison between Galaxy S and HTC Desire..
Yes, the screen, bluetooth 3.0, 720p video recording, and better battery durability(100mAh more)
But, for RAM, Galaxy is lose to Desire 512MB vs 576MB.. And maybe smoothness for UI?
Who knows? Galaxy S still not officially released here and nobody can actually review it which i mean in Malaysia.. nod.gif

Base on spec on gsmarena, Galaxy S has an secondary camera. So it means it support video call?

I think so..
But, how many users for smartphone really using their secondary camera?
Not that much because of our "fast" 3G connection here, in Malaysia... hmm.gif

hihihehe, you had bad experience with samsung before?

i used one samsung mobile before, and it was the 1st mobile device that i had to sent back due to a board problem (sometimes cant on the phone even if the phone is fully charged and will automatically switch off while using it)....other than that no major problem...

but like many, i also worried bout the software updates...look at the behold II, will only get updated to 1.6 and this is far from convincing...

nexus one is a good choice as it has FroYo, which seems like a major boost to android...but like on the desire, the pink hue is quite noticeable, especially when i saw a video in android central which compares the new features of gmail in FroYo...i can notice the pink hue, especially when it's put beside motorola droid...it may not be noticeable in some area, video playback thus it may not be as serious, but i scared that i might get annoyed in the long run...

the good thing about samsung that u cant deny is their warranty support.. i used Omnia and ultra touch before and their service is damn quick..

regarding the 2ndary camera, maybe if it kinda useless if it can be used only for 3g video call.. but it would be great if it can act as webcam.. and u can used video call in skype / other messenger.. biggrin.gif

and another thing, 512mb ram in N1 vs 576mb ram in Desire doesnt bring any noticeable difference.. my rooted N1 with desire rom and SENSE ui never hang, while my Desire has amazingly hanged 3 times.

There are users who use the vid call (including me )

I'd say for the desire its a loss rather, to not have the secondary camera.

And plus, I am using a samsung omnia, sent the phone for a screen change under warranty, and in less than an hour they were ready.

I dont know about you guys, if I had the money I'll go for this one. If you dont like the UI, just change it wink.gif its android anyways.

And considering its a samsung, HD recording, the 5mpx camera should be good, since my omnia is not bad either.

Don't be so quick to dismiss brands.
Hardly anyone commented on the vid review I posted, really, go check it out. As smooth as a baby's botttom.

sometime is not about manufacture that nvr include front camera coz i read some article that android not really can fully support front camera..
and i believe if include front camera in htc desire, the design need to modified because of no space to put front camera?

i just dun like the samsung mobile because of bad feedback from my friends and also from my eyes..is quite normal for consumer..

i did went through the video, thus i said the UI/design is like the iphone UI...a bit plasticky for its price and the back is finger-print magnet...

yes, it smooth, so is hTC desire / legend (i tried both in KLCC (desire) and PC fair (legend))...in video reviews, both galaxy S and Desire is smooth and i believe both will perform well...

i even watched the videos from gsmarena blog on the various UI aspects of galaxy S, like contacts UI, but unfortunately i still cant bring myself liking the UI more...

believe me (thanks to desire's exclusive deal with maxis, and reading more into the PenTile Matrix OLED), i'm considering this phone even if i'm into the design / UI, as long as the price is not that high...

i'm loving the super AMOLED, and the spec:
- the screen claimed to use less power
- better visibility on outdoors
- 45nm processor
- better GPU
- 1500mAH battery
- internal memory

thus i'm willing to sacrifice the looks...

what happen to the good old days when samsung was designing some of the best handset designs? i remember i bought my 1st and only samsung mobile phone solely because of it's look....

You cant really design much with the full touchscreen handphones, and I guess underthe galaxy marketing branch, they thought to themselves - If the iPhone is working well, why not create something that is ALMOST similar , but greater build smile.gif

this way, you'll have something thats WAY better than the iphone, monster of a specifications, and last but not least ,an Android . smile.gif

I'll try it out if the moolah arrives.

super amoled kick the current gen display, but i would like to see what new iphone has to offer as now almost everyone is saying it will have a 960x620 screen...

desire have the same problems as nexus one (pink hue as well), both using the clearpad 2000, which is quite outdated by now...but for now it wont impact as much as there aint many applications that make full use of the unlimited multutouch...

yeah, i'm not too worried bout the multitouch, and i'm not really into playing those FPS that require better multitouch to work better...

but my main problem is the pink hue on desire / nexus one, well at least to me...sure you may not notice it in everyday usage but since i will be facing the screen most of the time, i prefer to get better one, not to mention when you are surfing the net...and for now samsung galaxy S is top...

since hTC just launch desire with incredible and EVO 4G in the US, i doubt hTC will launching any high-end device for at least 6 months...is Galaxy S my only choice? i dont know hmm.gif

GBP400????
that's 400*4.8 = 1920?
is cheaper than SG, which is said to be selling at SGD1098...

you can check out this thread: Pinkish Hue Problem

you may not notice it in everyday use, but try it on the htc website, gmail apps and also set to the lowest brightness...i notice the pinkish hue on the desire i tested at KLCC when i go to htc website and set to the lowest brightness...some device are not that noticeable, some yes, so if you are in the latter category, congrats...

FYI, i do set to the lowest brightness on my HD when in brightly lit places..

so since it's not noticeable everytime, it not really a problem, right? to me it's still bearable for now, but will i get annoyed by it in the long run? hmm.gif
so if galaxy S is competitively priced and said to be available 1st week of July, with desire only available end of June for other retailers, i have plenty of time to think it over...

if it's like legend as shown in the picture, it's not that bad, but desire seems to be a bit over the top for me...since hTC knew about the problem, hTC could make it better in the next update...

@hihihehe,
if you bought from some place wont you be worry bout warranty? honestly with that super AMOLED is only available from samsung, i worried that it will cost a bomb to fix it should it have any problem (touchwood)...waiting for some users' review as well...

anyone know if the price SGD1098 is for the 8GB or 16GB model?

CNET Samsung Galaxy Benchmark
Android Community Benchmark

until the new snapdragon is out, hummingbird is the fastest processor around...

indeed, look at the following benchmarks, as usual benchmarks are for reference only:

CNET Samsung Galaxy Benchmark
Android Community Benchmark

until the new snapdragon is out, hummingbird is the fastest processor around...

@ alfredtwl, sorry to hear bout that...was hoping you could get your Galaxy S and give us some feedback...

looking forward to you getting your device...seem like samsung galaxy S doing ok despite the price...

seems like that not too many samsung widget (not sure if this is good or bad)...i like hTC sense widget a lot, as it is quite powerful and doesnt require to launch apps to view / do simple functions...

cant wait for other to come out with their review to see how good or bad the UI is, as the Behold II UI is just plain bad, IMO....

slightly OT:
Attached Image
seems like hTC legend suffer the same problem as hTC Desire for some devices...i dont understand why some has some doesnt...

just hope samsung doesnt have this problem too...

so expensive? SGD1098*2.4=2635.2...by paying slightly more can get 16GB instead of 8GB...
basically samsung wave is similar with smaller screen...how come it Galaxy S is way more expensive? with 2.5k, honestly i'm expecting at least 16GB as no MicroSD is provided...

mostly likely EVO 4G wont make it here as it is CDMA, unless hTC makes GSM version, which i dont think so...

another edit: gone through the manual a little bit and i found this:
QUOTE
Connect as a mass storage device
You can connect your device to a PC as a removable disk and access the file directory. If you insert a memory card in the device, you can also access the file directory of the memory card by using the device as a memory card reader.

*The file directory of the memory card will appear as a removable disk, separate from the internal memory.
does this mean we cant use the internal storage (8GB / 16GB) as removable disk without using Samsung Kies? cant transfer files (songs, videos) directly into the phone? doh.gif
i can only use the phone as removable disk when i got memory card doh.gif doh.gif

and android suppose to be "free", while samsung has to spend resources to R&D their own OS, bada sweat.gif

eh no 16GB? are you planning to start a bulk anytime soon? laugh.gif
RMA in SG will be cheaper comparing RMA in other europe countries such as Germany + UK...
if the price is really 2499, then Galaxy S in malaysia is among the most expensive, even europe is not that expensive...

I tried a demo unit at Singtel, Takashimaya the other day. Its laggy and slow in response. I hope its just that particular unit 'cause it has everything to become an iphone killer. Specs wise on paper, it definitely beat the up-coming iphone 4G.

i saw 1 guy provided with this phone for 2 months(i think he is marketing guy for samsung) for marketing purpose i guess..
he ditched his htc desire away and use this as primary phone..
his thoughts:
QUOTE
fast.

Beautiful extra live wallpapers.

Social hub is awesome. Every service I want in one place.

Brilliant camera.

Even though this is only a marketing sample the software is very stable for something this early. I think Samsung's work on eclair for Portal paid off.

Battery seems good. Charged it and have the screen on full and downloaded all my apps and browsing etc hasn't had the impact like it would on a HTC Hero.

Samsung's Portal with Eclair is rock solid. And using the Galaxy S and another one which is not public yet Samsung have definitely put a lot of work into getting it right.

Much better battery and performance and actually I really love the touwiz 3 overlay. Makes it so easy to use. Also the social hub is cool push everything.

Oh and Samsung has added in full calendar and out of office support for both the google active sync and samsungs own which is pushed via a Seven push email service. Also pushes social networking updates.

Well not sure if it does support unlimited multitouch however the sensitivity is very good. Best I have seen on a screen so far and I am sure there is still some optimisation to be done yet.

Samsung apps is now a great addition on top of google market app. has apps and widgets like desktop mode and Samsung's own push email and social networking.

Only one negative for me:
No flash for the camera – but I can live with it. Takes stunning photo's in normal lighting

Good things:
UI – even though everyone says rip off of the iphone it's not. People only say that who haven't used it. UI makes it very easy to use and most people would be used to the look and feel.

Enhanced music player
Photo and Video capture and editor's
Samsung Apps – they have some extra widgets and apps like Desk Home or Car Home which turn the screen into a digital photo frame etc and nav home is like on the droid navigation system.
4 new live wallpapers
Speed of UI and applications
Battery very good

It's very thin so I do get worried I am gonna drop it smile.gif
and the software for this phone is not final yet when he writing this which is couple of weeks ago..

actually the snapdragon does have a GPU, Adreno 200...it's quite outdated this the lower benchmark score...

congrats to alfredtwl, maybe he is the 1st person in LYN to own Galaxy S...be sure to write us a small review once you spend some time playing with it...

some guys said Super AMOLED technology same with htc desire/N1

QUOTE
It means that it is using the same display technology as the HTC Desire and the Google Nexus One. In technical terms it means that neighbouring pixels share one larger green sub-pixel between them as opposed to each pixel having its own red, green and blue sub-pixel. It's not a big deal although it does introduce issues when displaying text (most people won't notice though).

RM2699? that slightly cheaper than X10 RRP of RM2799...that's in X10 price range liao...and look how much X10 is selling now doh.gif

let say if maxis offer subsidy for those buying with plan, like the Desire, take off RM700 (again like the Desire plan), it would be like RM1999, with min RM50 value plan + data plan for up to 1 year...

i know PenTile is by Samsung, i just hope this problem is not as obvious on this phone, else back to desire (price / performance ratio)...
QUOTE
Gang,

The PenTile Matrix pattern is not to blame for the pinkish tint on certain grey patterns.

What may be to blame is most likely 5-6-5 mode quantization. What was originally 8-8-8 quantization, that is, eight bits per R, G, and B channels was quantized down to 5 bit on the red and blue and 6 bit on the green. This means that often, the values of the red and blue don't balance with the green ! This happens in the software on the phone, not the PenTile AMOLED panel. The PenTile panel remains an 8 bit per channel display, but its given an image that is already pink, and does its best to reproduce that pink color.

Another possibility is that the panel has a misadjusted gamma on the different channels. Thus, when a mid-level grey is sent to the display, the digital values are converted to the wrong analog current values (OLED is current driven).

Again, neither problem is the PenTile layout.

I've been wondering if those folks that echo all of the remarks regarding PenTile and text quality are actually seeing a problem? Or are they just bothered because it got questioned by someone else?

##Full Disclosure: I'm one of the inventors of the PenTile Matrix technology.

Source: XDA Desire General Thread

desire's pinkish problem could be solved by software provided the gamma can be adjusted through software...
i'm going to test the phone before deciding, or at least wait for reviews from users / other sources other than gsmarena...

Yea, but after using my friend's Desire, the UI still lags... At first I thought it was the background which will move together with the grid, so it lags a little then I tried a solid colour background, same result... And the iPhone won't even lag, it just follows the speed of your finger... But I've tried the Samsung, it still lags a little but much faster than the Desire

SGD1098 is more or less the same as RM2699 anyway, let just hope telcos will offer significant subsidy for this phone...but realistic price from telcos should be almost the same as X10, expensive or not it's up to you to decide...

i dont think the UI that nice, after getting "poisoned" by hTC Sense...and samsung's social hub (according to the review) is pretty much limited in functionality...maybe need to get other launchers that look like the default android UI...

1 thing i have to agree with the review, why must samsung set the most left screen as the default home screen? it would be tedious to swipe to the screen no 7...if i'm not mistaken there's a gesture to show all the 7 home screen, but that's not a reason to set it this way....

i only be able to find reviews on gsmarena + hardwarezone SG...where can you find more reviews?

maybe there's a way to force-close the TouchWiz UI? maybe alfredtwl (when he get his) or suigizo can help to find a way since both of them have galaxy S....
the inability to use stock android UI kinda put me off too...
the rooting process also depends on how "locked" is the device, take milestone for instant...

more importantly samsung must update this to android 2.2...

KIES = Its when u connect your phone to your pc by USB. I try many times it can't work , until i figure it out ... Its not a prob. for me rite now.

compare about Samsung Galaxy S n iphone 3gs.
- Much better battery life , sometimes i feel littlebit lagging when i try close up some app then try to make call or sms . Stero sound its perfect .

@ suigizo, thanks for helping us with our questions: since you have install an alternative launcher, means there is way to disable it...

this is the method to disable sense on hTC devices, so i was wondering if the same method will work for samsung:

- press Menu
- Select Settings
- Select Applications
- Select Manage Applications
- Find "HTC Sense" <-- maybe TouchWix UI or something like that
- Click 'clear defaults'
- Click 'stop application'
- Press Home button
- Select the non-Sense option

i read also somewhere that if you are unable to connect it as mass USB storage, you need to install KIES as it has the necessary drivers to detect it as mass storage...

all this waiting is sort of like "killing" me...i need more reviews, so-called samsung's plan to launch at over 100 countries, how come the reviews are so limited? hmm.gif

QUOTE
Hi All,

I just registered in this forum so as to provide my hands-on experience with the Samsung Galaxy S.

I'm in Singapore and the Galaxy S is being delivered to pre-order customers from Singtel (who partially owns Optus). While I was pretty impressed by this phone and has been following the Galaxy S thread for a few weeks, I did not buy this phone as I'm still on contract for my Nokia E71.

Today, I had the chance to play with the Galaxy S at a local Samsung specialty store and hence, I thought of providing my impressions here.

Firstly, I have to clarify that I've never use an Android phone before and neither have I owned an iphone. My interest in smartphones only came recently as I wanted to have timely global and financial news to be pushed to me for investment purposes.

Ok, the Galaxy S seems to be a pretty hot phone with Singaporeans right now. There was a steady stream of people coming and going into the Samsung shop to try out the phone.

The Super Amoled screen certainly did not disappoint. The animated desktop looks brilliant on this phone. The screen size as described on specs, is larger than and iphone which is a joy when reading web pages. However, the plastic feel of the phone leaves much to be desired. I just held it with a slightly firmer grip and I could sense a bit of creaking from this phone. As compared to my Nokia E71, this phone's casing is still lacking in build quality.

The responsiveness of the Galaxy S seems to be on par with the current iphone 3GS (which my sister owns). The speed at which the homepage icons flows left and right is comparable to the iphone 3gs. The virtual keyboard, however, seems to have its keys spaced closer than the iphone 3gs which makes typing (not using the Swype mode) more error prone. The only interesting bit about the keyboard is that you can turn on a setting to make the back of the phone vibrate as a key is being hit (DO NOT mistake this as tactile feedback from the Super Amoled screen).

As for the Swype mode of input, I didn't get to fully test it out as there was a lot of configuration to do to get it working. My impression of the configuration was that it was rather unintuitive. I could be wrong but as a novice user of Android, I thought navigating between settings would be as easy as on the iphone but it somehow didn't give me a good feel. E.g. certain configuration setting panes were quite difficult to get out of when you just want to ignore it, quite often I just gave up and exited the program.

Youtube video playback is pretty decent but I didn't get the chance to play any 720p HD videos.

The look & feel of the standard array of apps on the Galaxy S is definitely not as consistent as those found on the iphone. I do understand that Android being open source and apps not strictly controlled by a central source (like itunes app store), lack of consistency in the way apps behave is to be expected. But from a functional perspective, I'd be more inclined towards getting an iphone even though the iphone has it own set of problems (for me is the lack of Adobe Flash since I frequent websites with Flash content). But remember, I making my choice between Galaxy S and iphone 4 with a bias on the quality and availability of apps that are currently available.

As far as I'm concerned, if the quality of Android apps can be improved, and the build quality of the Galaxy S (and its successors) be up a notch, then it will become a serious contender to the iphone.

Ok, my very limited hands-on impression of the Galaxy S ends here. Hope you folks find it somewhat useful.

For now, I'm bias towards getting the iphone 4 with just two winning criteria for me: the Retina display which probably is as good as Super Amoled, hopefully in all usage condition since my eyesight is pretty bad; and most importantly, the currently available set of apps.

well not unlimited, but it supports more points than your fingers, a total of 16 points...so technically can consider "unlimited"... whistling.gif

well, every phone is the same i have to say...but some are quite serious bug.....i just hope samsung will release hotfix for those nasty bugs...and confirm there no notification LED, just when i got used to the LED notification...

even the samsung Kies, the PC sync software from Samsung, cant really detect the phone doh.gif

guess this shows that samsung is a good OEM / screen maker, but kinda a crappy software developer, so i'm bit worried...

@suigizo cool looking phone.

Strange thing is some users say their battery states G7. (in hardwarezone)
If you guys check out gsmarena and also the disassembly video of the galaxy s,
you will see that it says G9.
In gsmarena they can get 7 hours of video playback
You guys think got any difference between G7 and G9?

What does your battery say suigizo?

i also read about G7 and G9..GSMArena can run around 7hours video with G9 i think..but sg ppl get G7
i think G9 battery with the galaxy s reviewed by gsmarena is not final product. final product got backlight led on the button there..final product has backlight led on the button..

i'll keeping an eye on the hardwarezone SG forum to see what are the bugs fixes from the latest firmware update...hopefully some of the nastier bugs are "terminated"...

@ sentlon, SG RRP is SGD1098, and most (if not all) of malaysia RRP price is higher than SG...so if i'm buying i most probably get with a plan to enjoy the subsidized price from telco....in this case should be maxis....

you may think is expensive (i do think is expensive but when HD2 hit the street at November 2009, it was selling at over 2.5k, same goes for SE x10), but the hardware is slightly more modern, whether it justified the extra $$$ is solely up to you to decide...

if not, most likely will get hTC desire...

finally you get to lay your hands on your much anticipated Galaxy S...

i finally saw Galaxy S' super AMOLED when in gmail apps and the colour reproduction in the super AMOLED is better tha AMOLED, the pink hue problem is not that obvious , at least you know it's grey...

now once the price is confirm, with some positive reviews from end users, might choose this over hTC desire, but most reviews saying samsung's widgets are too simple, unlike hTC sense...

A buddy of mine recommended me to give the Galaxy S a consideration when it comes out next week or so...

Initially, I was thinking of getting the iPhone 4 when it comes to our shores, but somehow I like the specs of this Android-based Samsung smartphone...

personally, i prefer android over apple .. why? coz apple is stuck in one place, u gotta pay for the aps or risk jailbreaking to get more stuff .... where else, on android u can customize easily, and after years u will get pro and even create ur own stuff on android ... biggrin.gif

i dont like the iphone-ish UI too on the program launcher + homescreen, but lucky can get other UI from apps market...and i like the Sense UI a lot with some of the more functional features that you even need to launch the full app to get some simple data and information...

hardware wise, i definitely for Galaxy S newer hardware spec, slightly future proof considering it comes with wireless n support, bluetooth 3.0, newer processor + power GPU...

anyhow i also will be waiting for more user reviews before deciding this or desire...

that would be the screen where you can add / delete / arrange the 7 homescreens from what i see in some videos of the Galaxy S...notice the minus sign (-) on the screen, tap on that and it will remove the screen...it supports up to 7 screens but you dont have to leave all there if you dont use all of them...

I got a chance to play with Galaxy S last weekend when i was in singapore. Did a quick comparison with my htc desire, the screen is huge and vivid but it weighs lighter than the desire.

The video recording is a notch better but the still image is equally disappointing,

I know my next phone will be atleast a 4 incher or above, it just makes "tapping" much easier.

p/s: The UI and it's animation & transition effect mimics the iphone os ; felt like an iphone wanna be for a moment. But it's an android inside out and it's fast.

i think Samsung is putting the Galaxy S up on shelves end of this month. refer to the text below.

i sent them a query:

Hello Samsung Mobile Malaysia,


I've notice that the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S is up on Samsung Mobile Malaysia's website under the 'Upcoming' section. It is stated there that the upcoming Galaxy S is equip with 16GB of internal capacity.

From what i know, Galaxy S comes in two versions, the 8GB and the 16GB.

My question is, although it is not stated there in your webpage, will it be possible if the 8GB versions will be brought in into Malaysia as well?

How soon will the Galaxy S be available for sale in Malaysia? middle of June? end of June? early July?

And is the Galaxy S bind for contract or will it be sold as SIM free phone in Malaysia?

Looking forward to your generous reply.

Thank you.


Regards,
Awang


and within 2 - 3 minutes, they replied

Hi Awang,

Based on your previous enquiry about the Samsung Galaxy S, only the 16GB will be available in Malaysia for now. It will be available in the market end of this month, June. Galaxy S will also be sold with a contract with our operator.


Should you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

We hope we have answered your enquiry with satisfactory. Thank you.

Regards

i think Samsung is putting the Galaxy S up on shelves end of this month. refer to the text below.

i sent them a query:

Hello Samsung Mobile  Malaysia,
I've notice that the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S is up on Samsung Mobile Malaysia's website under the 'Upcoming' section. It is stated there that the upcoming Galaxy S is equip with 16GB of internal capacity.

From what i know, Galaxy S comes in two versions, the 8GB and the 16GB.

My question is, although it is not stated there in your webpage, will it be possible if the 8GB versions will be brought in into Malaysia as well?

How soon will the Galaxy S be available for sale in Malaysia? middle of June? end of June? early July?

And is the Galaxy S bind for contract or will it be sold as SIM free phone in Malaysia?

Looking forward to your generous reply.

Thank you.
Regards,
Awang


and within 2 - 3 minutes, they replied

Hi Awang,

Based on your previous enquiry about the Samsung Galaxy S, only the 16GB will be available in Malaysia for now. It will be available in the market end of this month, June. Galaxy S will also be sold with a contract with our operator.
Should you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

We hope we have answered your enquiry with satisfactory. Thank you.

Added on June 15, 2010, 9:10 amlooks like samsung galaxy s has been underclocked from 1ghz to 800mhz.
i dont know whether when the phone idle then only underclocked or full load to reach 1ghz...

source from samsung insider

sure? if that the case, the 1500MAh battery and super AMOLED do not really help to extend battery life as the quite a few in the hardware forum SG complain bout poor battery life (well, to be fair, who knows how they set up the phone that leads to poor battery life)

BTW, any rumours bout the price? maybe can help me make the decision as i'm torn between this and hTC desire as i could get desire at cheaper price...

Yeah it was something like magic number.
I can't remember very well but for Omnia 8GB it was RM2699 and for 16GB it was RM2799 something like that.

If i am wrong those who remember the actual price please fix it tongue.gif

thanks...seems like 2699 is the magic number for samsung, if that's the case i think i'll wait for the price to come down...seeing technology keeps on improving faster than I can actually fully utilize the raw power of the CPU, i think i'll get the cheaper alternative... hmm.gif

maybe i'll switch to galaxy S when it's cheaper...however, i believe samsung will give the galaxy S better support as you can see plenty of devices coming out with this hummingbird chipset, even samsung Tape is rumoured to be released with 2.2 so i believe galaxy S will get 1 -2 updates...

it's already June and plenty of rumours flying around saying dual cores devices are coming end of the year...so most likely i'll be spoiled with choices by early 2011...

i even remembering buying my Touch HD for RM3200 sweat.gif
but now days technology advance so fast that i dont think i want to spend too much on it...it not because i want to have the latest, most happening device (it's almost impossible unless i got an unlimited pocket), but because most OEMs and manufacturers will release new devices and doesnt really want to support older device anymore...

well nothing is certain, but seeing quite a few devices being released by samsung are using the hummingbird CPU + the powerVR SGX540, most likely these devices will be upgraded to android 2.2...

who is selling it ?

could be this seller: [WTS] Samsung Galaxy S

the price is quite attractive considering that the RRP in SG is SGD1098...well at least you can claim warranty with the seller if you have any problem...overall very good pricing, IMO...

and hihihehe posted that the tweet by samsung saying newer batch of galaxy S will be with android 2.2, so it should be pretty soon...maybe june 23rd hmm.gif

but it has the DLNA thingy, so HDMI shouldnt be a big negative point, right?

looks like UK users are beginning to get their hand on Galaxy S, so more review should be popping up...

dang i dont want or need maxis. why must they always grab the exclusives...

if let 3rd party outlets sell, easily 100 bucks discount and maybe can squeeze some more freebies out of them.

think of the tax they import the phone..u should know how high the tax in malaysia
n i believe maxis just tie u for 12 months contract only...


i nvr sign any of the phone with maxis before.lets take htc desire as comparison with telco from australia...
i make it as RM100 per month x 12 months = RM1200..
and u need to pay RM1400 on top of it.so total will be RM2600 for 12 months..

htc desire in australia cost $79per month for 24 months.
total will be around AUD$1900...

so is just around the same..u earn dollar then u use in dollar...but telco from australia subsidized a lot for the phones..

been surfing the reviews and other forums where new owners talk about their phones.

let's talk about the negatives for a change.

seems that the biggest gripes about this phone so far is:-

a) samsung's reputation (or rather lack of) regarding support of their phones. many users of current samsung phones complain about lack of support for it's older models once new ones comes out

b) no visible notification for missed sms/calls or phone charging. you'll have to manually check your phone for that. (this is stupid if true...what is this? 1990?)

c) stuttering during recording of hd videos.

anything i missed out?

d) the casing looks cheap and some users dun dare to open the back casing frequently coz heard crack sounds

yeah i know galaxy s is kinda trying to replicate the iphone look (such as the touchwiz mockups in ads), but no notification is a stupid concept imho.

for eg, i am not the type that keeps checking my phones every minute. most of the time i leave it lying around while i go about my business. so i'would really appreciate a visual notification.

at the very least provide notification for battery charging status. that's not too much too ask for la....

SG Singtel is offering my company the phone for a monthly payment of SGD41 (two years contract) and a down-payment of SGD18.

The package includes 200 minutes (local calls), 100 free SMS, free 12gb of data transfer (Internet), and some other miscellaneous.

Worth it? The fair is open until 6pm only - considering whether I should take the jump or not.
