Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL review: through different eyes

Success begets imitations and we have the next Galaxy's remake to testify. But make no mistake about this Samsung Galaxy I9003 SL is not just a clone. This time, the changes aren't just for the skin depth.

We are discussing a new monitor, a new CPU and another battery. Although it's actually difficult to notice a difference on the outside, save for a slightly thicker. Most of the internals have in principle been replaced, which may or may not have resulted in a significant change in the user experience.

Samsung Galaxy I9003 SL is a victim of the time. It couldn't have been less fortunate to follow in the footsteps of the original Galaxy's knowing it will never be able to catch up. At least the Samsung should know very well what you expect.

This is not the first flagship they re forced by circumstances, legitimately to replace. Much as S8530 Wave II is I9003 more of a substitute, rather than an upgrade. You can think I9003 SL as a way to ensure that there will be enough AMOLED panels for Galaxy S2 without having to interrupt the original Galaxy's altogether.

AMOLED shortage is experienced for at least another simultaneously and Samsung is trying to work around it. We'll have to see how this plays the next attempt. I9003 has a lot of people to convince the it's a good enough substitute. Users have every right to be sceptical. It will take a lot of persuasion, so they don't spend their money elsewhere.

So let s see if there's life after SuperAMOLED for Galaxy SL.

Samsung I9003 Galaxy S comes with a Super clear LCD?

It seems Samsung I9000 coming way of dodo. Rumors say so-the original Galaxy S will obviously be discontinued in favor of I9003, which is the same phone, except for one important difference-the screen.

Samsung I9000 Galaxy S debuted SuperAMOLED screen 4 ", as we later saw on Samsung Omnia I8700 7 and full range of Galaxy S for United States market.

This new I9003 has the same specifications apart from screen I9000 SuperAMOLED is replaced by a Super clear LCD type of screen (again 4 inch WVGA). We thought not too happy with the Samsung Wave II's 3.7 "Super clear LCD, so it feels like a downgrade to us.

Vodafone Germany Samsung Galaxy s still delivers a SuperAMOLED (I9000 model), so that the modification does not affect all markets, at least not directly.

All this is just rumors at this point so that we don't know for sure until someone makes an official statement.

It seems Samsung's capacity to produce SuperAMOLED screen can't match the huge demand, even Google's new flagship Nexus S, will use Super clear LCD in Russia and Italy.

Is Samsung concentrate their factories to the new SuperAMOLED screen Plus the even announced the Samsung Galaxy S2?

From rumor to official in a snap-called Super clear LCD packaging Samsung Galaxy SL I9003. it is apparent that the screen is not the only change, there are some changes under the hood as well.

Anyway, I9003 Galaxy SL comes with Android 2.2 Froyo in box and innards are very, very similar I9000-except the CPU, which is a 1 GHz TI OMAP 3630 instead of a Hummingbird CPU. Oh, and the internal memory of 16 GB, there is no 8 GB version. We can also report that the user available RAM has gone some 138 MB up from the original Galaxy s.

The extra 150mAh gives rise to an improvement of talk-time talk time is 15 hours of 2 G (7.5 hours in 3 G)-while standby has taken a hit and is now at 610 hours of 2 G and 550 hours in 3 G.
