AMAZING phone.
Its quick, has a fantastic screen
Easy to learn UI
Great graphics with games
Awesome photo and video quality.
Battery life is insane, easily lasts a day with heavy use, Without 3G but includes, blue tooth headphones/headset, gaming, web browsing and heavy texting.
Upgradeable to 2.3+ not so there is ZERO lag on my phone.

Also it can connect to blue tooth headsets, Ive been using it since i first got this phone so anybody that complains it isn't possible on the review section simply doesn't know how to do so.

I Am hardly Using the phone it is perfect ...... you Can say it is perfect for heavy duties Overall the phone Is wonderfull it is really I phone killer put materials in i phone 4 are the best ever ....... the camera Is wonderfull 720p HD vedio amazing , Also the Super Amoled screen makes the Display Perfect Colours and Contrast ..... With the Revolution of OS Andriod THis Phone Is the Best

ive been stuck with this phone on a contract for over 8 months and im so dissatisfied with it, it drops calls in full signal areas, has poor battery performance, supposed to be fast but it always lags for me for some reason. i cant wait till this contract is over, im definetly getting a different brand. poor phone all the way!!

There aren't terms of comparison between galaxy S and Iphone 4. Iphone 4 is worst compared to galaxy s, wave, desire etc. Galaxy S is a phone that makes it all. I don't like his form and design but from it's class is the best! A phone without limits! Battery isn't so poor as you consider. Just fully charge it then fully descharge it and then you can use the phone for 2 days. With an 4 inch display you cannot pretend more!

AMAZING PHONE!!

All round great phone.
No idea what the other guy is on about battery life.
Mine lasts easily a day, and thats after two hours worth of music and using wifi for Facebook and emails and a couple level of angry birds thrown in there.

This phone has had complaints of lag, not as bad as the iphone 4's, but heavily focused on by apple fan boys as this phone beats that in every way.

Any lag i had wast actually too bad, a one second lag on a phone is hardly anything to complain about. but in order to see what all the hype was i applied a lag fix and all i can say is WOW. I thought this phone was amazing before, but now i honestly believe it is unbeatable by ANY phone of 2010!!

Swype is easy, quick and effective, and normal predictive is barely any slower.
Call quality is fantastic, nothing to complain about at all.
The display is stunning, less pixels than the iphone 4, but much better colour saturation. Very vivid colors.

The camera is awesome!! Lots of effects and tools to use for photos,only complaint is no hardware camera key an flash.
Interent is superfast music is brilliant.

Excellent phone. Except the absence of the flash, its a great device. Internet, display call quality... I don´t understand why PhoneArena.com put this phone in the midrange seccion of the best, only if it is because the price nowadays, because its a magnificent phone

I have been using it for 8 months, even Samsung could catch the fashion boat very quickly, but the low quality is always together with this mark, particularly the bad battery performance, if it is left on bed like a piece of stone, it is cool, once you try to run it a little bit, the battery always got over heat, and their poor battery is not just in this model, I used to seeing others using high end Samsung changing batteries continuously, like now, i have to take recharger everywhere.
The higher price just meant their higher profit, doesn't mean higher quality.

HI GUYS I BUY THIS PHONE LAST WEEK, ITS SO COOL EVERY THING IS PERFECT !

U KW I WONDER I GET GINGER UPDATE 2 DAYS AGO, NOW ITS WORKS SO FAST &

GAMING IS GREAT EXPERIENCE, HUMMINGBIRD CHIP SET REALLY WORKS CHARMS , GALAXY USER DINT GET SAD WHN U SAW LIKE LG 2X , DIROD X2, COZE STILL GALAXY S IS THE GREATEST PHONE OF LAST YEAR , NW THIS YEAR TOO WITH GALAXY S 2..,, SAM-SUNG HITS WORLDS WITH OUT STANDING MOBILE PHONE, WAIT AND SEE AFTER TWO YEAR NO I PHONE, BLACKBERRY, NOKIA, , WONT BE THERE ............

I own this mobile since a couple of months and I am very much impressed by its awesome features. At last Samsung has entered the market of Smartphones leaving its proprietary OS behind with a nice set of features that will not leave its customers impressed. Good choice if you are looking for an Android platform. Huge collection of free Apps easily downloadable from the Market.
Highly Recommended phone for Android lovers. Good luck!

Wow, what a screen. If you watch videos on this you will be amazed. Stunning clarity, sharpness and contrast with wonderful blacks and bright whites.

Samsung have their own video and music players so you get added support for FLAC and DivX / MKV files so this phone can rock out with 48Gb of storage for media. Supplied headphones are excellent quality with great bass, as long as you can insert them fully into your ears :-)

I got the phone in August 2010, as soon as it was released in Europe and have been enjoying the experience since. In the beginning, with loads of apps installed, the phone would become sluggish at times with the original Eclair firmware but Samsung have been working hard on this and have improved it so much that a custom firmware or lagfix is not required. Froyo v2.2.1 has been another step up (helped alot using autokiller app) and with the release of Gingerbread v2.3, the added functionality is really adding value to a solid performer.

Gingerbread really requires no task killing apps and runs great with apps flipping and squashing screens as you move from page to page, it's really quite nice to use.

The thing is with Android, it is so customisable, you can add custom lock screens, app drawers, widgets and create your own personalised home screens to suit your needs and with the thousands of free and very cheap apps.

Not to mention Google Navigation, Voice control, excellent notification system and file manager.

I've had this phone since October of last year. In the time since then, I've had my fair share of problems with this phone. The laggy UI, quiet loudspeaker(isn't that an oxymoron?), lack of a camera flash, and quite a few occasions wherein I've had to do a hard reset speak quite fervently of the shortcomings of this phone.

In spite of that,

is the best phone on the samsung, awesome, really now all looking to improve in relation to the Galaxy S2, and best of all,that his spirit is Android .
Nothing to envy anyone, because it is a phone that will last a long time active

For a long time I tried to choose between HTC Desire and Galaxy. At the end better Galaxy screen was the final decision factor: screen size, gorilla glass, super AMOLED. Also comparing to Desire HD, which is a great phone too, Galaxy has a longer battery life (also quite an important factor).
And final decision point was ability to install custom ROM on rooted device. Galaxy has a very active user community and a lots of very good ROMs are available. Do not stay with default one, if you want to take your phone to extreme: performance, battery life and app tuning.

it is a amazing phone just lacks a little bit in its battery power
internet browsing made very easy
i can also open all my microsoft files
its is a goooddd phone for the youngsters
it hangs a llitle bit but its ok
multimedia quality not that gr8t music on headphones is very weak

Great phone in all aspects. Now come with Android Froyo 2.2 which makes is the best available smart phone. Great Audio output and Amazing Display for watching videos and playing games. Video recording is like a personal HD video recorder.

Build quality is good too very light n sleek.

It has nearly everything but the essentials like Flashlite, Gallery issues ( slow ) and power need to be addressed or should have been looked into while making this Monster. It has a better display if compared with Nokia N8 or others in the run but getting a good display is subject to extinguishing Battery life, moreover the internet spped is amazing.
Overall the very good Multimedia and Executive Phone.

no flash light,poor quality of image nd other features are awesome but htc desire has flash but not record too high quality of videoz...as sg s has capacitive display that is gud nd is much faster than desire................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I live in a good sized city in LA county. Most of the time the phone can not find a gps signal, and the phone never stays at full signal strength. It would be nice to have a flash for the camera. The phone case feels cheap and light compared to my htc phones. With lots of android widgets running the interface gets laggy from time to time; it is better than the mytouch3g of course.The screen is nice.

The Samsung Galaxy S is the perfect phone. I have had it for two weeks and no problems for now.
Build quality: Perfect, 10/10
Reception & Call quality: Great, 10/10

Multimedia: Just the basic Android gallery & player, but they're also very nice; 8/10
Camera: 8/10
- Pictures: Perfect quality on daylight, nice quality inside when lights are turned on, really poor quality when it's dark; the front camera makes pretty good pictures; no flash - 7/10
- Video: Outstanding quality, can record 720p videos - 10/10
Speed: Really fast, 10/10
Everyday usage: Daily Briefing is really nice, you also get a diary app which i just LOVE. It's really simple: You can write something and attach a picture from your previews shooted or a new one. 10/10
Text input: The buttons are big and easy to touch, you also get Swype and a tutorialhow to use it, which is very helpful; 10/10
Display: Just the simply AMAZING 4" SuperAmoled display, nothing else to tell ya; 10/10
Battery: My phone's battery have to be recharched every 6-7 hours, but iI'm always connected with WiFi, play games and just don't leave him, but I expected a better battery, so 8/10

I am going to get this phone soon. I think it has very few competitors at the moment, and the price is not so high. It has great feauters and first of all the Super AMOLED display. I saw it on Samsung Wave and I am fascinated. And in Galaxy S it is even bigger (4 inches) than in Wave. But like I mentioned in the title why did they forget about the flash light? Because for me it looks like they coudn't have done this on purpose. It is just wrong. I cannot understand it. Such a great equipped phone without such a "stupid" and little feature like LED flash. Espessialy that Samsung made at least two versions of this phone with LED flash for US operators (Samsung Mesmerize and Fascinate). I personally use flash in my phone as a flashlight a lot of times, actually for me it is almost indispensable feature of a modern phone. Nevertheless i am still getting this phone as it is indeed a cool handset.

everything in one! only con is the no flash for photos, and no stereo speakers... other than that its perfect! and the super amoled is the best sop far! galaxy s deserves the first place. second, droid global rd n8 iphone about 7th .........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

To me it was this or the i phone4. well i went with this and im sooo glad i did, it has 7 customizable screens wit live backgrounds widgets, folders an such. the screen is Amazing! an im a hevey texter so i LOVE Swype. the camra is very nice. id say better then my camra. haha. playin movies an music is also very nice beacuse it has tht 16gb of stock storage. sooo yah Galaxy S ALL DAY!
(the only problem is the battery/but i charge my phone every night so im ok.)

Samsung galaxy s is a smartphone,i focus on Super AMOLED screen and 1GHz CPU. Internal memory has 8GB or 16GB and its can up to 32GB memory card.The wireless network connect has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n; DLNA and Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP and then camera has 5MP and HD recording. However, its no flash.

As a mobile phone software developer, I've tried most of the major phones on the market. Without a doubt, as the song says, it's simply the best. Like Linux on a computer (which is my development platform), this phone gives you options to do everything. Therein, lies the key! It's a phone that has to be properly setup for you to get the best out of it. The power, the speed, the multimedia capabilities are second to none. If you want to unleash the power of this phone and set it up the way you like, trot on over to the XDA forums and do a little research on how to do it. I like my iPhone 4 but, its now collecting a bit of dust as it is no longer my everyday phone for everyday, I fall in love with this device all over as it's simply the best! Install a Froyo custom rom on this and you to will experience the love.
