Today Samsung unveiled their new Android flagship, the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S. Packing a 4" Super AMOLED display and a 1 GHz CPU inside an ultra thin body, the Galaxy S is certainly among the hottest Android smartphones to-date.
Running on a heavily customized version of Android 2.1, Samsung I9000 Galaxy S packs a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, capable of recording 720p video footage at 30fps. The magnificent display will sport WVGA resolution and there will be support for Wi-Fi b/g/n. GPS with A-GPS is also on board, along with 3G (with HSDPA support), USB and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity.
The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S will come in two versions, with 8 and 16GB of internal memory respectively and they will both have a microSD card slot. A 1 GHz application processor of a yet unknown architecture will tick inside the amazingly slim 9.9mm body. DivX and XviD video playback support (for videos up to HD resolution) complete the list of noteworthy features.
As of now there is no information about the target availability or pricing of the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S. Those should be made official in the coming weeks.
The newly announced Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is a VIP guest at the Samsung booth at this year's CTIA Wireless expo and is naturally enjoying quite a lot of attention. We have several videos of the handset in action, demonstrating its remarkable performance and sweetly slim waistline.
The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is obviously very snappy and responsive and the power of its 1GHz CPU can be felt throughout the interface. There are also multi-touch gestures (which are also quite smooth) and the TouchWiz interface to freshen up the stock Android looks. Check out the Samsung's new Android flagship in the videos below.
