Watching these old review videos in 2018 makes me realize that there is no perfect phone. Just enjoy the phone you have if it does everything you need it to do.
God how time flies remember being super excited in getting the Galaxy S on launch, as it was my first Android phone. At the time i thought it was massive because of the 4" screen, and i loved both the camera & video recording at 720p at the time aswell, got some of my best memories using both the camera & video on the Galaxy S. I had them all since now with recently purchased Galaxy S4, but the Galaxy S will always be one of my most memorable smartphone purchases as i loved that phone.
SuperCooled Mine kinda had a rough life: I replaced the power key with a piece of wood glued to a rubber ribbon after I lost it... It doesn't have a single screw, I used it as two phones (got 2 mainboards), changing back and forth every now and then (guess how I lost the power key). The camera glass is gone. The frame is now grey as the paint went off. Soft keys are lit, but unresponsive. But, indeed, it runs Android 6. It's been sittin in my drawer for the past 2 years, but I still turn it on sometimes. And it's weird, but the design is incredibly timeless and kinda perfect imho. Sorry to bother
Recently got this phone...it's amazing, sooooo glad i didnit get an iphone. Very thorough review here for anyone looking at a new phone. Thank you for this post, reassured my feelings about the quality and showed me things i didn't know before.
Remember working with phones at the time, and me wearing my iPhone 3G with pride. Then this beauty showed up in the store, and I immediately fell in love. Six years later I'm rocking a Galaxy S7, and have never looked back!
My former classmate got one as a present when it came out. We were literally speechless when we saw it. It was so good and so futuristic back then. Good memories.
Emil Ohnell Yes, I went with the M8 and love it if only for the great speakers. Rumor has it that an M8 Prime (with a better camera) may be coming out in September though - grrrr!!!
The funniest thing is not this phone or how old it is, but the comments acting as though it was already a decade since this phone was released. Posted just 2 or 3 years after it was released.
it is the last month of 2018 .. 2019 is near .. i own s8+ .. when it came out it was a bomb.. now with the s10 coming soon .. my s8+ started to feel like almost old tec and i am sure that s10 will become old too at 2020 like i owned many galaxy devices that were awesome back in time but now i can't even use them .. so i learned that there is no perfect phone .. every phone has it's time to shine .. and then a new one will take over .. enjoy your phone whatever it is as long as it does your needs .. there is no PERFECT phone .
@@corvomango1588 Actually I am the only time traveler here because I have seen the Samsung Galaxy S10 by my eyes, not only reading rumors about its comming.
This was my VERY first smartphone, after owing the Sony Ericsson Equinox (A flip...but an awesome flip). I swore my Ericsson was the best thing ever, and NOBODY on planet earth could tell me otherwise- then I got this phone and was like WOOOW! I then moved on the S2, skipped the S3, had an S4, then ditched the S line altogether for my first Note (3 and 4) Now I'm on the Note 5 (bcuz the 6 never existed) and I refused to get the 7 (for obvious reasons) and am now waiting for the note 8 (rumored to come equipped with a 6.4 inch 4K display 😨😨) to drop later this year! Can't beileve how far technology has come, and how awesome smartphones have gotten over the last 6-7 years.
Watching this in 2012 when he said at the start how it has a huge screen, its tiny compared to todays mobiles and i can remeber gettings it in october 2010 thinking its the best thing out and that it would never get old. But it did.
The standards have changed rapidly the last 4-5 years. Once upon a time, 4-5 years ago, a 4" display was huge. Nowadays, a 4.3" display is considered to be a mini, small smartphone
SAMSUNG GALAXY S (the i9000 or s1).. Peeps remember this is the very phone which launched the era of the samsung "s" range... In 2010 when launched took samsung & android to new heights. This phone is the mother of the "s" range, without the s1 and it's success there would not have been any s4 s5 etc etc. The King is still alive 👑, long live the s1 i9000.. # I still have my smashing galaxy s, running kitkat 4.4.4.. Yes you heard me right kitkat 4.4.4.. Yes a custom rom - using the app multi-rom, as per mood swing it's either 'Slimkat rom or Mackay rom' 💃

Lol yess
Yeah, I was laughing to my self during this video :) But I guess at the time it was a pretty nice phone.
Axel Holmgren You'll be saying the same to Galaxy S6 after 5 years lol
😀
this phone looks really good. whens it coming out?
5 years ago
mateo makkink im laughing my ass off right now xD
5 and a half years ago.
6 years ago
your username doesnt fit you
I laughed when he called it very thin. Funny how now that would be thick
and the "huge" 4 inch screen
Lol
"The colors are really vivid."
THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO PLS...
IM BONNIE which is why I said its funny how nowadays that would be considered thick. I could see that the video was old
I dont know... Should I wait for the galaxy s2 ?
The s7 is out
+Ling Nostico the s7 edge is out
Wait for the s3 i heard its good,cant wait.
+Eltan12 i heard its gonna have front facing speakers and a 4k display

when he said 4 inches was huge I laughed....typed on my note 7 :P
lmao
Watching from my equally sized 950 XL.
Watched This On My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T113
When u said u typing on your note 7...i laughed...isn't this the same phone that died even before celebrating it's first birthday
Cameron Biel did it explode yet?
That phone was so futuristic at that time ..
Galaxy S1 called iphone killer with that huge AMOLED screen "4 inch" 😂
I loved that model so much
Smartphones have evolved a lot for the past 10 years. especially Samsung
It's amazing how quickly phone technology changes over such a short period.
Yes it has changed a lot more since you've commented this , hope you read this :)
It's changed since you commented too
The beginning of a legend!!!1
Agree. This phone was groundbreaking. When you look at the Galaxy S review most phones today are exactly the same sh1t, just a bit bigger!
Indeed! I loved this phone.
Can't wait for the S2!
when is the android 7.0 update ?
one of my first devices, i remember this screen looked so nice
10 years later, watching this video on my galaxy s20
I am still using this phone with Lineage OS. It is able to do all the basic operations except youtube.
SuperCooled Mine kinda had a rough life:
I replaced the power key with a piece of wood glued to a rubber ribbon after I lost it...
It doesn't have a single screw, I used it as two phones (got 2 mainboards), changing back and forth every now and then (guess how I lost the power key). The camera glass is gone.
The frame is now grey as the paint went off.
Soft keys are lit, but unresponsive.
But, indeed, it runs Android 6.
It's been sittin in my drawer for the past 2 years, but I still turn it on sometimes. And it's weird, but the design is incredibly timeless and kinda perfect imho.

The plastic cover is amazing. I've dropped this so many times and no damage internal or external whatsoever
"A huge 4" Screen" Oh, how the times have changed.
My former classmate got one as a present when it came out. We were literally speechless when we saw it. It was so good and so futuristic back then. Good memories.
2019: 6.5 inch screen is classic

Well, its been two years, i am reminding you to check on the new fold 4!
I currently have this phone. I am so embarrassed. Trying to decide between the S5 and the HTC One M8.
M8 no doubt
S5!!!

Hi from the future here, and im watching this on a galaxy s6 edge +
I'm wondering how people from 2025 will react to S10+ with 1Tb storage
To take a look back at this phone brings nostalgia ...
Oh how the dual-core phones were a huge hype not long ago, and now we already have octa-cores.
I remember the rich girl in middle school showing this off to everyone and it got stolen by a bud of mine...
When did you buy it?
"Huge 4 inch screen" ahhaha today it sound verry funny! ahah

Wow I have the Galaxy S5 and I look back at this phone and just wonder how great of a job Samsung has done.
"16Gb of ROM". And now the S20 Ultra has 16 Gb of RAM ^^
Mb*
@@TensedOut no, Gb is correct. But i indeed made a mistake, but another: of course the Galaxy S has 16 Gb of internal storage and not ROM.

This was almost 4 years ago, and the iphone of the time had a 3.5 inch screen, and very few had even a five inch
