Samsung Galaxy S specification leaked : 512MB ram

Posted on 24 May 2010 by stan

Samsung Galaxy was revealed at CITA Wireless 2010 and the full specification of the phone was never released till now.
Today the spec has leak via FRAndroid A French Tech/Android Blog.

  • CPU : ARM Cortex A8 1GHz – Hummingbird
  • GPU: PowerVR SGX540
  • ROM : 8 GB / 16 GB
  • RAM : 512 MB
  • Size: 122 x 64 x 10 mm
  • Weight: 118g (with battery)
  • Networks: QuadBand (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 3G tri-band (900/1900/2100 MHz), 3G HSDPA 7.2 MBps (3G +) HSUPA
  • GPS
  • Wi-Fi: 802.11 (b / g / n)

  • Battery: 1500mAh
  • microSD (2.0 compatible)
  • Camera: 5MP, 720p 30fps
  • Resolution: 800×480 pixels (WQVGA)
  • Android 2.1

Galaxy S screen hardware also comes with a 16 point multitouch Atmel maXTouch that can handle up to 16 input simultaneously (theoretically sound but we are not sure if Samsung has fully implemented it into the phone. With such high end parts comes higher production cost for the screen. So are we paying more for something that we might not use? We will have to wait till Android OS get ironed out to realize if Galaxy S can prove itself as a powerhouse smartphone to be reckon with) Something we do notice is that the phone multitouch is more accurate than the HTC Desire.

Aside from this piece of good news. We recently came across Gameloft dropping a surprise for Android users. We saw 10 games via their own pay site which was pull down after the initial launch (Some nexus users complained that some of the game offered did not work, OCWorkbench suspect that these 10 games was actually build for and aimed at Galaxy S as the launch platform thus the pull out till further notice.) FRAndroid manage to get their hand busy playing  NOVA on Galaxy S.

An invitation has been sent out to media of an impending press event to be held on the 14th May 2010. It is speculated that the event should be the launch event of HTC Desire.

SkyFire beta running on Motorola Milestone (Android 2.1)

Posted on 21 April 2010 by bluetooth

SkyFire has been the preferred browser on the Windows Mobile devices. This is largely due to it’s support of flash video. As more websites rely on Flash, flash support is ubiquitious.

In the video below, we managed to get hold of a beta version of this software. Installation is simple, just open the APK file with ASTRO file manager. Follow through the instructions and it is done.

SkyFire supports multiple pages. We browse a few sites and noticed that the beta doesn’t seem to work very well. It took a long time to open a page. A subsequent REFRESH loads it immediately.

To zoom, you can use the + or – key or tap the screen. Multitouch pinch and zoom feature is also not available in this browser. Embedded flash videos cannot be played. Youtube videos shows a PLAY button, when pressed leads you to an external youtube player to stream the video.

Perhaps we can wait a while for the official SkyFire on Android to see the bugs are fixed in the final code.
