Samsung enters a new dimension with the Galaxy S

At today's CTIA 2010 keynote with AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega and Samsung's Mobile Communications Business President, J.K. Shin, we finally got to know what we needed to know about that "S Life" thing we've been hearing about. More importantly, we even saw the manufacturer announce a brand new high-end model from the Android-powered Galaxy series.

Apparently, S Life, or rather Smart Life, is Sammy's new idea of bringing the smartphone experience to everyone. As Samsung envisions things, the full smartphone experience consists of three crucial elements: Screen, Speed and Content. Well, we are happy to tell you that the just announced Samsung Galaxy S (looks very similar to the Beam) will have all three, as it will utilize a large 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED screen, a blazing-fast 1GHz processor and... the Android 2.1 operating system with all of its third-party apps (about 30,000 right now). The camera is 5MP with option for 720p HD video recording at 30 frames per second. Other goodies include 3G, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, HD video playback, as well as playback for many other formats like FLAC, and MKV. Truly a promising multimedia-centric piece of hardware. YEAH! Oops, excuse us.

The Samsung Galaxy S will be available "soon" worldwide, including Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia, and Asia.
