In another back-to-basics post I’m explaining to my friends (who keep asking me such things) and everyone else few things about Samsung’s Galaxy models. First of all – there’s no such thing as Galaxy AS. There’s Galaxy Ace, which is a mid-range Android smartphone with a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and so on — you can get its full specs from here.
Then there’s the original Samsung Galaxy S, which was a high-end device when it was launched. It rocks a single-core 1GHz processor, 4-inch WVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and… you can get the full specs from here. The updated model with slightly faster processor was released in select markets as Galaxy S Plus.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S II is the best of the breed. It rocks a big 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus WVGA touchscreen, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, HSPA+, Wi-Fi, GPS… and its specs can be viewed from here.
So when you’re asking about Galaxy AS, you’re spelling it wrong – most likely, you’re thinking about one of three/four devices listed above.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
