Samsung Galaxy S

Name: Samsung Galaxy S
Brand: Samsung

Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.

The original Galaxy S is a nostalgia trip with colourful manuals and a removable battery, but it is painfully slow.

Searches Amazon with my affiliate tag, so I may earn a small commission. It doesn't change what I say.

Links go to Amazon UK for United Kingdom.

What I liked

Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.

“this one is easily a 7 out of 10”

“massive nostalgia trip”

“the Samsung Galaxy S the company had finally made a phone that could stand toe-to-toe with the iPhone”

“it lacks a consistent identity every part of the OS looks completely different”

“this was still a revolutionary display at the time one of the best in terms of color reproduction”

Most recent first, so you can see if my view has changed.

Unboxing the First Ever Samsung Galaxy S!!
A historically important phone that feels slow, inconsistent and dated today, though its design flair and original Super AMOLED screen get some credit.
