I have the Samsung. The panel is outstanding and overall build quality is ok. A very interesting phone.

Only problem is that GPS performance is horrible... in practice is as if it has no GPS.
Other limitations are the lack of notification led, and flash.. but those are acceptable... the GPS however is a major problem.

Samsung and Broadcom have to fix it if it is firmware or drivers... if not I'm returning mine and will later get the HTC Desire HD

    Hey GSM Arena you forgot...

    Marketing:

    iPhone: 12/10 Galaxy S: 1/10

    Yes, the iPhone gets 2 bonus points for the lost & found prototype and antennagate PR. The Galaxy S gets 1 point for the 1 billboard I spotted in downtown Hong Kong yesterday.

        the great race to pack everything in a single and smaller package is leading to nowhere.
        we are getting JACK_OF_ALL_TRADES_MASTER_OF_NONE things.

        grow up people.

            Great.. The iPhone vs. the iPhone wanna-be clone.

            Seriously. The Galaxy is a nice phone but it has IPHONE all over it. From camera placement to design (3G) to UI.

              should've included a durability test too:

              look at galaxy s fare against falls and scratchs

                    I thought the iPhone photos manifested better than the Galaxy, which were not as well crafted. Video recording is a toss-up but it would have been better if the iPhone had ameliorated their rendition.

                      the Galaxy S probably beats the iPhone 4
                      can you do a Samsung Wave S8500 VS iPhone 4 or iPhone 3gs
                      ??

                        Anonymous, 07 Aug 2010Defend samsung or apple??? Why should I? How old are you? 12?... Is a matter of choice, you ma... moreI think you may be grown up guy. But ur brain must be like 5 years old callow youth. Did you see ppl saying "this review is biased , iph4 is better, Nope galaxy-s is the best, etc in this comment session?
                        That's the reason I said fans are defending and fighting each other. Thats all.
                        I 'm wondering why did you get hurt by my comment. May be u can't effort both phs. I can give you my i8910HD free.

                                I don't get this. If you believe the iPhone 4 or Galaxy S is the best phone in the world why bother reading articles to prove what you already believe/know? I don't get why people want to argue? What does anyone gain from this? Read the review if you are interested and unless you have anything useful/informative to say then don't bother commenting. I used to read comments before because they would provide some useful info or tips but now it has just been a bunch of "fans" arguing which is the best phone with no real facts to back their claims. Honestly, there is no perfect phone or a "best" phone. People really need to give up this back and forth arguing because in the end you really are just wasting your time.

                                    Steve is so screwed by this phone, but they can't do anything about it, after all its Samsung that makes their processor and memory modules ;)

                                    now we have another press conference: superiority of Galaxy S over iphone4 has blown out of proportion by media :0 we know that, you know that, but we love our costumers, we want everyone happy....

                                    ....and that's why iphone4 costs 1050$ (unlocked, 16GB) and Galaxy S 700$ (unlocked, 16 GB)...

If both... moreYou bet, I would take the iphone everytime, and sell it to some blind sheep. What else would you call someone that would buy a phone with a broken antenna????

                                        Anonymous, 07 Aug 2010Lost? No winner was proclaimed. And we are not mad either. We're just pointing out how bias... moreThe review is not biased, if you want biased review go to engadget, they did not even compare the Super-AMOLED contrast to the IPS-LCD like gsmarena did, all they did was comparing the pixel density because they don't want to show that steve jobs was being dishonest when he claimed IPS-LCD or what he dubbed as "Retina" is better than Super-AMOLED but so far other reviewers have proved that Super-AMOLED is superior and they did various tests on youtube too. As for the Camera, i Think the iPhone has more advantage due to the LED flash which Galaxy S sadly lacks. The OS is no longer an issue since Android has more than 100k apps and now developers are making apps for both OSs so it depends on the user to chose whether Google or Apple. They both have the same processor. I wouldn't pick either, Id wait for the HTC Ace as is going to be like the EVO 4G but on GSM connectivity.
