Galaxy S

Overview

The first Galaxy S combines a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, Hummingbird processor and slim plastic housing. This archive documents the international GT-I9000.

Period and variants

Samsung announced Galaxy S on 23 March 2010. Its 2 June commercial release describes European availability followed by other markets; those dates do not establish a single worldwide first sale. Launch software is Android 2.1 with TouchWiz 3.0. Later photographed interfaces are kept separate.

GT-I9000 uses WCDMA 900/1900/2100MHz. US carrier hardware and later S Plus or SL models need separate archives. The 512MB RAM, 8GB or 16GB file storage and optional microSD are distinct.

Samsung lists 119g while the contemporary hardware review gives 118g; both are qualified. Its 5MP autofocus camera has no flash and records up to 720p30. Micro-USB charges the phone, and the battery is accessible under the rear cover.
