The Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 and 5.0 received a formal launch this morning in the company’s stomping grounds of Seoul, Korea. As the leading provider of Smart Mobile Devices, Samsung is bring the four and five inch Galaxy S players to Android fans around the globe. The fun kicks off in Russia for the Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 and Switzerland for the Galaxy S WiFi 5.0.
Let’s start with a quick rundown of both devices in a little ditty we like to call the spec highlight show. The Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 ships with Android 2.2 Froyo and the “possibility to upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread” – in the world where Android upgrades are hard to come by this does not sit well. A 4.-inch WVGA resolution display, 1 GHz processor, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g, accelerometer, digital compass, proximity sensor, light sensor, 1200 mAh battery and your choice of 8 or 16GB internal storage with the option for an additional 32GB via microSD card. The Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 is identical to its sibling, albeit with a larger 5-inch display.
Now for the official word from Samsung on the release information: “The GALAXY S WiFi 4.0 will be first available in Russia and will be gradually rolled out in other countries. The GALAXY S WiFi 5.0 will be first available in Switzerland.” Samsung has not announced pricing information, but they did mention both Galaxy S WiFi smart players feature, “a large, high-quality screen, a world of fun and useful applications and great communications services make this a powerhouse device at an affordable price.” Let’s just hope that we share the same idea of affordable pricing.
