Samsung i9000 Galaxy S announced

Malabo pa yung availability nito until august 2. advise ko lang sa lahat wait for open line units.. andriod is best when flashed with a non branded firmware and rooted.. globe is using a singtel branded firmware + may sim lock.. kapag naka simlock ka pag flash mo to non branded bricked kana (risk)

@evilalvin

How much po ang kuha nyo? And is it available outside of Globe? Kase i happen to see this lang sa Globe as demo units.

been using this phone for 2 weeks. i am very pleased. but you need to boot it once in a while. nothing to worry, it is still a computer. what i just don’t like is the android market here in southeast asia. you can’t buy apps online. they never mentioned it in any reviews.

When will samsung I9000 galaxy s be available in the Philippines? I badly need it now!!!!

you might wanna consider samsung’s plans to replace google services with yahoo on their android and bada os-powered phones if you plan to purchase one.

ibig sabihin ba nito good thing that hindi pa ako bumili ng X10???

So many mactards. I’d like to kill myself now please.

another iPhone influenced design… even the product shots, its apple-ish! :D

according to some write-ups, this thing has the fastest processor/gpu combo to date:

here’s some excerpts from the articles:

=============================================
…Here is a GPU comparison for some of the leading smartphones:

* Motorola Droid: TI OMAP3430 with PowerVR SGX530 = 7 million(?) triangles/sec
* Nexus One: Qualcomm QSD8×50 with Adreno 200 = 22 million triangles/sec
* iPhone 3G S: 600 MHz Cortex-A8 with PowerVR SGX535 = 28 million triangles/sec
* Samsung Galaxy S: S5PC110 with PowerVR SGX540 = 90 million triangles/sec

And for comparison a few consoles:

* PS3: 250 million triangles/sec
* Xbox 360: 500 million triangles/sec

As you can clearly see, the Samsung Galaxy S comes out on top of the smartphones by a wide margin (but not quite those PS3 graphics in your pocket yet).

So to recap, the Samsung Galaxy S has the best display (Super AMOLED) and fastest processor of any Android smartphone that has been officially announced to launch this year.

ganda pala ng super amoled display!

does this same price with iphone today?

It looks great. Hopefully the price won’t burn a hole in my pocket when it’s made officially available locally.

It’s either this one or a BlackBerry Curve for me.

This is not Samsung’s first Android 2.1 phone since Samsung Spica (i5700) has an upgrade available, it’s just not yet available locally (the upgrade, that is. The phone is already available).

Question: Where did you find the exact model of the processor used by Samsung? I find it odd that it says Snapdragon when I’m quite sure they will be using the Hummingbird which is Samsung’s own 1 GHz applications processor. Advantages include a dedicated FPU, which I believe the Snapdragon does not have.

Samsung does not have a reason to use the Snapdragon when they are an altogether bigger semi-conductor manufacturer and seller than Qualcomm.

Looks a lot like the iPhone including the UI but really impressive based on this video by MobileBurn:

Looks like a worthy replacement for my old iPhone.

I think this is the first Android v2.1 phone from Samsung.
