The i9000 Galaxy S sports a Super AMOLED touchscreen display (as debuted in the upcoming Samsung Wave) but ups the dimensions to a whopping 4.0 inches. For those unfamiliar with the new Super AMOLED technology Samsung have pioneered, it’s basically an advancement that is thinner than traditional AMOLED units allowing for the display to be closer to the surface which aids in the visual quality and responsiveness of the touchscreen. In short, it looks and feels fantastic.

Not content with adding a best in class display, Samsung have also thrown in the very latest version of Android, version 2.1 (or Eclair), and a speedy 1GHz processor to ensure everything runs smoothly. In keeping with the Google Nexus One, the Galaxy S boasts 7 customisable home screens that can be populated with all sorts of widgets, shortcuts and web feeds whilst four ever present icons sit at the bottom of the screen providing easy access to the most frequently used areas of the phone.

In addition to a stunning display and superb operating system, the Galaxy S also boasts a slew of multimedia options and a top notch camera. The Galaxy S includes 16GB of internal storage plus a memory card slot supporting up to a 32GB memory card, a 3.5mm audio jack, MP3 music player and DivX support. Additionally, the i9000 Galaxy S includes a 5.0 Megapixel camera with a whole host of extras such as face and smile detection plus the feature of the moment; 720p HD video capture! Throw in GPS, HSDPA and Wi-Fi and it’s clear that Samsung are gunning for the HTC Desire with the Galaxy S.
