Amazon UK Offers Samsung Galaxy S
It seems that Amazon is giving a pretty good offer for many Android smart phone fans. This new Samsung handset comes fully equipped with all the great features one would expect from a high end Android smart phone with a few little impressive extras that makes this handset a good alternative to more established Android handsets such as Google’s own Nexus One and the HTC Desire.
One thing all the above Android devices have in common (as well as with the XPERIA X10) is that they represent the new generation of Android smart phones –running on 1GHz CPUs. The move from the older, slower processors to the new 1GHz standard is just the start, according to reports Qualcomm has just come out with a new Snapdragon CPU that will be clocked at over 1GHz. Of course, the upcoming 2.2 Froyo update will be bringing Flash so a fast processor will certainly big a deal for Android devices.
Anyway, back to the Galaxy S, this smart phone will also have a 5 mega pixel camera. This is perfect for taking high quality images as well as for shooting HD video as well. The phone’s 4 inch capacitive touch screen makes use of the super AMOLED display technology that was recently unveiled by Samsung. In terms of other specs, the Galaxy S is pretty well packed; it has 512MB of RAM, up to 16 GB or internal memory, support for Bluetooth, micro SD and even has DivX and XviD video support.
As expected, the device will be using the TouchWiz user interface on top of the Android OS. Samsung has also brought in support for the Social Hub as well as tools such as the Smart Life and ThinkFree applications.
The 8GB version of the device is available for a very good bargain of 500 Euros on Amazon.
