Samsung Galaxy S 4G First 21Mbps Smartphone for T-Mobile

Feb 2, 2011, 12:00 AM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile and Samsung today announced the Galaxy S 4G. The Galaxy S 4G follows in the footsteps of earlier Galaxy models and shares many specs, but it is the first handset from T-Mobile capable of using its faster 21Mbps HSPA+ network. Other features of the Galaxy S 4G include Samsung's 4-inch Super AMOLED display, Wi-Fi, 1GHz A8 Hummingbird processor, 5 megapixel camera, user-facing camera, 720p HD video capture, and a 16GB microSD card. The device will ship with a wide range of software, including the T-Mobile Video Chat application (made by Qik), doubleTwist with AirSync for managing media content, and HD T-Mobile TV. The HD TV content will be available for free, via T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, from content providers such as ABC News NOW, FOX Sports, PBS Kids and Azteca America. The Galaxy S 4G will also be preloaded with the movie "Inception." It runs Android 2.2 Froyo, and will be available later this month.
