The Samsung Galaxy S will lead the Korean mobile phone maker’s charge into the new generation of high-end Android smartphones, and it looks like the giant is about to make its first move. Those of you gunning to make the Galaxy S’s incredible 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen your own, you’ll be glad to hear that Amazon Germany has started offering the anticipated smartphone for pre-order.
Samsung has just let the cat out of the bag regarding its top of the line Galaxy S, which is set to make its global debut in Asian markets this June. Unsubsidized, this 4-inch beastie will cost you S$1,098 (or around $775), which might be a little on the steep side, but then this is one of only a pair of Super AMOLED handsets on the market and Samsung makes the other one.
