If I had a penny every time a friend asked me this question I would be a rich man now. Not all of us are geeks, so I decided to answer this question (exact phrase – “What is the Galaxy S”) once and for all. So here comes:
Galaxy S is Samsung’s super-popular smartphone that runs Android. Announced in March 2010, it is also known by other names in the U.S. such as Epic 4G (Sprint’s version with side-sliding QWERTY keyboard), Vibrant (T-Mobile), Captivate (AT&T), Fascinate (Verizon Wireless) and Mesmerize (US Cellular).
The Galaxy S was superseded by the Galaxy S II (GT-I9100), which was unveiled on February 13, 2011 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Much more powerful, the second generation Galaxy S phone is still considered one of the best Android smartphones. It comes with a bigger 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen (the original Galaxy S has a 4-inch display), faster 1.2GHz dual-core processor (vs single-core 1GHz CPU), 8-megapixel camera on the back (vs 5-megapixel one), 2-megapixel front-facing camera, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and 16GB of built-in storage…
So there you have it – hopefully, I won’t have to answer this question anymore; rather I’ll just give anyone asking the URL of this article. 😉
