Designing:-
The designing is also impressive. If you hold it in your palms, then you will certainly end up appreciating the hard work of Samsung in crafting such a beautiful product. The frame also feels odd, but in a nice way. If we compare it to iPhone 4 then the it's about a millimetre thicker than the iPhone 4. But, the interesting fact is that it doesn't feel that it is thicker, due to the its curved back.
The only draw back of this lay out is that it appears a bit plasticicky, which creates a problem if the user aspires for a premium look. It is, however. Impressively extremely light weight at just 118 grams. Hence, we can say that in terms of looks this phone surely impress you.

For instance, the approach of Android operating system is quite good to start off with, and the final conclusion is amazing.
It comes with seven home screens where you can put widgets as per your preference. Earlier, Samsung used to provide nine panes. Seems like they think that this was way too much to handle. The most impressive part is that users are not required to utilize all the home screens all at the same time. The extra ones can be deleted, it will also speeds up the process of navigation.
In Samsung Galaxy S, the default homescreen window is present at the left instead of the center. So, the process of navigating through the screen panes will result in too much of side scrolling. Next, this smartphone offers four buttons situated at the bottommost of the home screen. Samsung Galaxy S also offers all the updates of Android 2.1 operating system, such as various new widgets & Live wallpapers. This astonishing product also has more live images than the Google Nexus One. But, you should remember that live wallpapers also put strain on the battery life of the phone.

Although the quality of photographs is not impressive but it lives up to the mark.
