Since smartphones have hit the UK market, Brits have taken to them like ducks to water. We love everything about them, from their stylish looks to their impressive functionality, and the gadget-loving public have snapped them up in no time at all. Each time a new smartphone is released and hits shelves up and down the country the demand for it is greater than ever before. This has been no different since Samsung released its latest smartphone offering.

The Korean technology experts have an impressive range of smartphones currently on the market that can compete admirably with any other smartphone in terms of features and functionality. Samsung’s smartphones are of undeniable quality and ooze style, while backing that up with plenty of substance. With the options available to customers, choosing the right smartphone for you can be a daunting experience, but it’s well worth looking at one of the big players in more detail.

The Samsung Galaxy S looks the part, but that’s only the start of the plus points. The phone packs plenty of top-end technology, and with bags of widgets to choose from, you can perform plenty of tasks with ease. Staying connected with the your friends and the world around you has never been easier, so wherever you are you can keep right up to date with all the latest news and events.

The first thing that will strike you about the Galaxy S is the aesthetics of the phone. This sleek, little black number has a slim chassis and weighs in at just 118g. The curved back forms an important part of the phone’s recognisable design and helps the smartphone to fit in the palm of your hand like a dream. When you do get hold of the Galaxy S, what can you expect to be able to do with this little beauty?

When you first see the Galaxy S you won’t fail to notice the huge screen that the mobile boasts. The large 4.0 in Super AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screen makes the Galaxy S the perfect gadget with which to watch video and display photos. The display has 80 per cent less reflection, allowing you to see your favourite content clearly, wherever you are, even if Britain is enjoying one of its rare sunny days!

The superb screen is arguably the greatest feature of the Samsung Galaxy S, but a smartphone is always regarded in terms of the tasks it can perform. Thanks to the large touchscreen, navigation around the phone’s menus is a piece of cake and thus the smartphone scores highly in everyday usage. Long gone are the days of fiddly navigation, instead now smartphone users can enjoy usability that will bring a smile to their face.

Another feature of the Galaxy S is the 1GHz processor the phone possesses. This means that you can enjoy the content you can access without experiencing jerky video, or slow navigation for instance. When you couple this with 16GB of internal memory, you can store plenty of goodies on your mobile and access them when you really need to, whether that’s on a long train journey or an afternoon in the park.

Also known as the Samsung i9000, the Galaxy S is second to none in terms of picture quality. You can even record in HD and then play your footage on your TV using your smartphone as a nifty little remote. Being able to transfer your content between devices is an area in which this mobile thrives as well, as with AllShare you can share all of your content across your Samsung DNLA devices and access your digital library on any of your devices.

As an Android phone, you can access a whole range of different applications and therefore use your mobile to complete a range of different tasks. If you enjoy nothing more than settling down with a gripping book, then the Aldiko ebook feature will allow you to do just that. With a number of different Android apps for you to choose from, you won’t want to limit yourself to just one, though. If you fancy a more exhilarating experience on your smartphone you can source gaming content and fill a couple of spare minutes with a thrilling game.

One of the stand-out features of the Galaxy S is the Samsung Around Me augmented reality feature. This gives users real-time digital information and identifies points of interest in your current location, including whether the cafe across the road has received positive reviews and the transport options available to you. This is incredibly useful when you’re visiting towns and cities you haven’t been to before, and helps you explore places like a local simply by pointing your camera around.

Getting to places you want to go can be hard enough, but you can use your i9000 as a satellite navigation system to prevent you from getting lost on Britain’s roads. The Turn-by-Turn navigation system automatically comes to the fore when you place the smartphone in its car cradle. Using data provided by Google Maps, your mobile really can be your co-pilot and with a choice of three different views, you can make sure that you never get lost again!

You may well be in your car heading to a business meeting. If so, then the Galaxy S is also perfect for business users, with the ThinkFree Office mobile feature allowing you to read and edit an important document. The Android version of this application enables you to edit saved documents on the go and even add images, so whether you want to adjust an Excel spreadsheet or a Powerpoint presentation, both can be done with ease.

With the wealth of smartphones available to mobile users, each handset is battling with its competitors for smartphone supremacy. The Samsung Galaxy S has definitely demanded that people stand up and take notice of it, with the abundance of features the device boasts more than stating its smartphone credentials.
