After spending 2 weeks with the new Samsung Galaxy S, I’ve compile a list of 10 things I like about the Samsung Galaxy S. 1) Design The sleek and slim design is really appealing together with the gloss metallic finishing, it makes the phone really classy. 2) Android OS I’m beginning to see the potential of Android OS. Although the Android Market is still way far behind Apple’s AppStore, I strongly believe it will catch [...]

In  this post, I going to do a side-by-side comparison between between the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy S. The Samsung Galaxy S is pretty new in the market and do not have as much coverage as the HTC Desire, but the Samsung Galaxy S is quickly picking up popularity after it’s launching. On the other hand, the HTC Desire has been getting a lot of attention for being the protege of the Google [...]

I had a fun time doing a video call demo with Claire Khoo (Minishorts) just the other night with our Samsung Galaxy S. Yes, both of us are reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S and we both need to do a vlog. So here’s my version of our video call. And here’s Claire’s vlog over here. I must say, video calls can be fun. I really had fun video chatting with Claire Khoo and another friend [...]

Everything is going HD now and HD will be the future for all smartphones with video recording feature. Video Recording The Samsung Galaxy S records excellent video in 720p HD (1280 x 720). Brother John Birger – recorded in HD with the Samsung Galaxy S I can actually see a vast difference of quality from the videos I took with my compact camera and with the Samsung Galaxy S in HD. Playback the HD videos [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S comes with a VGA camera on the front of the phone and a 5 Megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording on the back. Samsung however did a big mistake by not including a flash on the camera, which is a big setback for a smartphone like the Galaxy S. The camera quality is pretty good with a good variant of shooting modes. There are 10 different shooting modes – Single [...]

What Is Swype? Swype is an alternative keyboard that lets me run my finger all over the keyboard in one continuous movement, rather than pecking out individual letters. Then it uses some super duper smart calculation to figure out which word I was trying to spell. The word “quick” was generated from tracing the path shown above in a fraction of a second, by roughly aiming to pass through the letters of the word. A [...]

After spending a week with the new Samsung Galaxy S, I’m really starting to get the hang of it. I’ve figure out plenty of ways to put the Samsung Galaxy S to good use but nothing beats watching movies on my 42 inch Plasma TV via the Samsung Galaxy S. The Samsung Galaxy S is probably the first Android phone to feature a TV Out option via its 3.5mm headset jack. A 3.5mm to RCA [...]

The World Cup may be over but the spirit of World Cup still lingers around. Today I bought a washing machine hose and discover a way to have fun with it. With proper method, the hose can actually mimic the sound of a Vuvuzela. I was having fun blowing the self-made Vuvuzela and it drove my dog, Buckie crazy. Hence, I call it the “Wowozela”. LMAO! Both videos are recorded with the new Samsung Galaxy [...]

Like most of the 3G phones available in the market, the new Samsung Galaxy S too comes with a front camera for video calls. The front facing VGA camera comes in handy when you just need to make those face-to-face conference calls. It’s one of those cool function that you want but you hardly use, maybe because it is still too costly to make video calls. The 4.0 inch screen comes in really handy for [...]

Getting onto the Internet with the Samsung Galaxy S is such an ease. Upon booting up for the first time, it will prompt for your choice of data connection plan (depending on your data plan you have). If your simcard is 3G ready and you have subscribed to a data plan package, you’ll be online almost immediately. I’m connected with Maxis 3G data plan and I’m online immediately after seeting up my connection.  At home, [...]
