Short Review

  • The Samsung I9000 Galaxy S features a sleek design with dimensions of 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm and a lightweight build at 119g.
  • Its 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing vibrant colors and decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
  • Powered by a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU and Hummingbird chipset, the performance is adequate for basic tasks, though it may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The camera is a 5 MP rear unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • Battery capacity stands at 1500mAh, which may require frequent charging under heavy use.
  • Running on Android 2.1 with an upgrade option to 2.3, it features the TouchWiz UI for user interface customization.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
  • While lacking water resistance and stereo speakers, it remains a notable entry in Samsung's smartphone lineup.
  • Overall, the I9000 Galaxy S combines a solid design with functional performance for its time.
