Short Review

  • The Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959 features a compact design with dimensions of 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 118g, making it lightweight and portable.
  • Its 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by the Hummingbird chipset, a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1650mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo), the software experience is limited compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, but includes a headphone jack for audio.
  • Overall, the Galaxy S 4G T959 provides basic functionality with a focus on portability and essential features.
  • Its design and display remain its standout aspects, despite the limitations in performance and software.
