The Samsung Galaxy S: Multimedia Functionality
Smartphones have grown in popularity in the past few years. Their sleek designs, portability and multimedia functions make them difficult to pass up. The Samsung Galaxy S has a handful of features that allow it to act as a great portable device for checking emails, playing videos games, watching movies and a host of other multimedia functions. Let us take a look at these features and see how unique they are for this smartphone.
First off, let us start with its visual display, which is a Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, able to achieve a 480 x 800 resolution display. When it comes to multimedia capabilities, this screen is equipped with the TouchWiz 3.0 user interface (US). This user interface allows users to access the Galaxy S in a variety of ways. For instance, if you prefer to have more access to social networking sites, then you can set it up to do so.
This UI also has extra features like smart unlock, motion UI and customizable widget screen. This touch screen also has multi touch capabilities, which means it can handle two or more touches at the same time. Ambidextrous phone users will appreciate this feature. To protect it from external abrasions, it is covered by Gorilla Glass, a high grade, virtually indestructible material.
The Samsung Galaxy S has a powerful processor, able to produce crisp visuals without delay. It has a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor and a PowerVR SGX540 graphic processing Unit (GPU). GPUs are designed to render 3D images like 3D moving objects, lighting effects and object visualization. The GPU chip found on the Galaxy S is able to process up to 90 million triangles per second, whereas its smartphone compatriots are still lagging behind in the 30 million mark per second range. It is also ultra slim and portable, with its exact dimensions measuring 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm and its weight is around 119 grams.
Internal storage for the Galaxy S is available in two options, 8 or 16 GB. Once you start downloading music, movies, video games and other apps, you are likely to soon run out of space. To accommodate this problem, Samsung has considerately added a micro SD slot through which users are able to expand its memory up to 32 GB. Its browser is equipped with WAP 2.0 and HTML. It is able to support the Java MIDP modulator and all the major document viewers.
