Before diving into the Galaxy S series, we must mention the Samsung Galaxy i7500, the company's first Android phone (bundled with Android 1.5 Cupcake). It debuted a decade ago, in 2009, and at that time the only other company to make Android handsets was HTC, so the competition was tough. Although equipped with a 3.2-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 320×480, 8GB of storage and a 5 megapixel camera (features suitable for its time), its design was rather dull and without interest. Like many other phones at the time, it even had physical navigation buttons, with launch and end of call keys. Oh, that times have changed.
Samsung Galaxy S

The Samsung Galaxy S, introduced in 2010, was much more attractive. Finish this array of physical keys; now there was just one home button, as well as a left touch menu button and a right back button. This is a design pattern to which he (and many other Android phones) would come back time and time again. The Galaxy S had a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen and a resolution of 480 out of 800 that many people found quite impressive. Oh, and it was also the first Android phone to come with TouchWiz, Samsung's proprietary user interface. This allowed Samsung to stand out from the rest of the Android market, but TouchWiz also added a lot of unnecessary burdens, which sometimes made the phone lazy.
Samsung Galaxy S II

Building on the success of the Galaxy S, Samsung launched the Galaxy S II (also known as S2) in 2011. The S II was thinner, lighter and faster than its predecessor. It was offered in 16 GB and 32 GB versions. start-up. The Super AMOLED Plus 4.3 inch was quite amazing and our review even described it as "nothing short of spectacular". There was also an upgraded 8 megapixel camera on the back (now with flash!), A 2 megapixel shooter at the front and a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor. There was always this TouchWiz interface, but people did not have to worry about it as much as they were selling millions and millions of units, placing the Galaxy brand on the map.
Samsung Galaxy S III
<img alt = "Samsung Galaxy S III" data-caption = "Samsung Galaxy S III" data-credit = "Samsung" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local-id = "local-4 -4980337-1550932751118" data-media-id = "ebebe9a2-5e32-40a7-9ed5-6ea2aeb24a6d" data-original-url = "https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded- images / 2019-02 / c5b94f50-3778-11e9-adf6-4880f881b128 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S III "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=2166%2C1443%2C0 % 2C0% 2C0 & quality = 85 & format = jpg and res =
Samsung maintained the Roman numeral trend with S III and also retained much of the graphics of its predecessor. The S III had more rounded corners and a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen larger and better, but most styles remained the same. It even kept the same 8-megapixel format in the back, choosing to increase photo quality through software rather than hardware. It was available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions, and sported an extremely fast 1.4GHz Quad Core processor (at the moment). Our opinion on the S III praised its "big and handsome" screen, but called TouchWiz for its feeling of fatigue and also dissected the design for being a bit too similar.
Samsung Galaxy S4
<img alt = "samsung galaxy S4" data-caption = "samsung galaxy S4" data-credit = "samsung" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local-id = " local-5-3497949 -1550932788775 "data-media-id =" d0d5889e-cf65-4735-bfa7-233f7f982929 "data-original-url =" https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/ 2019-02 / dc9b28b0 -3778-11e9-beff-794845899d95 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S4 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=2000%2C1333%2C0%2C0&quality= 85 & format = jpg & resize = 1600 Envelope Envelope Teaches
In 2013, Samsung finally decided to abandon the convention on Roman numerals (which no one has yet used) with the Galaxy S4. At this point, Samsung was one of the world's best selling smartphone brands. It is therefore not surprising that design and style do not take a lot of risks. The S4 had a larger 5-inch Super AMOLED screen and a more impressive 13-megapixel camera, but it was quite similar to the S III.
Samsung Galaxy S5
<img alt = "samsung galaxy S5" data-caption = "samsung galaxy s5" data-credit = "samsung" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local-id = " local-6-9483558 -1550932829757 "data-media-id =" af61703e-e6a7-42a1-b159-52dec0d052f6 "data-original-url =" https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/ 2019-02 / f1de6d40 -3778-11e9-bebf-c382ddf73f53 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S5 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=2000%2C1333%2C0%2C0&quality= 85 & format = jpg & resize = 1600% 2C1066 & image_uri = https% 3A% 2F% 2Fs.yimg.com
The Galaxy S5 was probably one of the least successful handsets of Samsung. With a look that looked a lot like his predecessor, maybe his aged design was behind the drop in sales. More than that, it probably reflected an overall decline in smartphone sales in general. This does not mean that the S5 was not a good phone. In addition to the usual display and specification upgrades, it was also rated IP67 for water resistance and we liked its more adherent design. Still, it was not great either. In our review, we found that some features such as the fingerprint reader and the heart rate monitor were frustrating and inaccurate.
Samsung Galaxy S6 / S6 edge
<img alt = "Samsung Galaxy S6" data-caption = "Samsung Galaxy S6" data-credit = "ENGADGET" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local-id = " local-7-1300049 -1550932872363 "data-media-id =" 39d1565f-5826-430f-aec5-bebd19992cdf "data-original-url =" https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/ 2019-02 / 0d0877a0 -3779-11e9-a7ff-cf39fe9d5884 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S6 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=959%2C659%2C0%2C0&quality= 85 & format = jpg & resize = 1600% 2C1098 & image_uri = https% 3A% 2F% 2FFF219.yimg.com% 2Fos% 2F2019-03% 2F2019-02% 2F0F772-0% 2F% 2F% 2F% 2F% 2F%
Perhaps taking advantage of the lukewarm reaction to the S5, Samsung has decided to upset everything in 2015. The company has launched not one but two flagship brands: a "normal" S6 flat screen and an S6 with its edge much more intriguing . wraparound screen. They all had superb AMOLED QHD screens and a 16-megapixel rear camera. Unfortunately, the S6 and S6 edges have also removed the microSD card slot and a removable battery. Still, our review was very complimentary of both handsets, calling them "sturdy and stylish" with a "flawless camera experience". Of course, we also pointed out that the S6 looked remarkably like the iPhone at the time, but that clearly did not detract from the popularity of the device.
Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 edge
<img alt = "Samsung Galaxy S7" data-caption = "Samsung Galaxy S7" data-credit = "Engadget" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local-id = " local-8-1835042 -1550932911065 "data-media-id =" 3f02e144-7036-44d6-827c-0a5c160389e6 "data-original-url =" https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/ 2019-02 / 24a3dd00 -3779-11e9-bfdc-233ae3006558 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S7 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=1400%2C901%2C0%2C0&quality= 85 & format = jpg & resize = 1600% 2C1030 & image_uri = https% 3A% 2F% 2F.
Since the S6 and S6 edges proved to be so successful, Samsung followed the formula in 2016 with the S7 and S7 edges. They were not really so different from their predecessors, and mostly turned out to be enhancements rather than a complete refreshment. Yet this is not necessarily a bad thing. The S7 had a superb 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display, while the S7's edge was wraparound and measured 5.5 inches. Although the phones are available in iterations of 32GB and 64GB, the S7 series has also finally seen the return of microSD card slots. In our review, we said that the S7 was not a spectacular departure from its predecessor, but that it was certainly more refined, while the edge of the S7 was "what the Samsung Edge family should have been since the beginning. "
Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8 +
<img alt = "Samsung Galaxy S8" data-caption = "Samsung Galaxy S8" data-credit = "Will Lipman for Engadget" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local- id = "local- 9-2721410-1550932956532" data-media-id = "4d2d2745-9b02-4bc8-92aa-6b5398f59eb1" data-original-url = "https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded -images / 2019- 02 / 3b10fb90-3779-11e9-bde9-dadb74e1c464 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S8 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=1400%2C908%2C0 % 2C0% 2C0 & quality = 85 & format = 85 & format = 85 Jpg
The Galaxy S8 and S8 + arrived just a few months after the explosion of the Note 7's explosive battery. It was therefore essential that these devices could win the public's trust. Fortunately, Samsung delivered. Both handsets had a radically different design philosophy, with sumptuous and curved "Infinity Views" going from edge to edge. It meant that you got a lot more screen for the size; which went for both the 5.8-inch S8 and the 6.2-inch S8 +. Admittedly, the intelligent assistant Bixby was a little ugly, but the screen and the design of the S8 were enough to make the phone one of the best handsets of 2017.
Samsung Galaxy S9 / S9 +
<img alt = "Samsung Galaxy S9" data-caption = "Samsung Galaxy S9" data-credit = "Will Lipman for Engadget" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local- id = "local- 10-7755463-1550932998459" data-media-id = "c35ac44b-0c56-4f16-9d94-4ad09d5b195d" data-original-url = "https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded -images / 2019- 02 / 5667e250-3779-11e9-9e53-adef6d759cb8 "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S9 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=2000%2C1292%2C0 % 2C0 & quality = 85 & format = jpg and 1
Samsung has mostly stuck to the script with the Galaxy S9 and S9 +. They were very similar to their predecessors S8, with only minor improvements. The camera, for example, had a "double aperture" mode that could switch between two different aperture sizes, which allowed for better shots in low light. The S9 + had a second camera for 2x optical zoom. The phones also marked the arrival of Samsung's AR Emojis, who were apparently a response to Apple's Animojis. They were cute but also a little scary; This is certainly not an important sales factor. In the end, we liked the S9 series, but we did not think it was a "major improvement over the last generation".
Samsung Galaxy S10 / S10 +
<img alt = "Samsung Galaxy S10" data-caption = "Samsung Galaxy S10" credit-data = "Chris Velazco / Engadget" data-credit-link-back = "" data-dam-provider = "" data-local- id = "local- 11-7450968-1550933041314" data-media-id = "25919c33-ddab-495b-bcc2-1a5aca6a9f8d" data-original-url = "https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded -images / 2019- 02 / 6f6aee00-3779-11e9-a0f4-bd86e0ed096a "data-title =" Samsung Galaxy S10 "src =" https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?crop=2000%2C1318%2C0 % 2C0% 2C0 & quality = 85 & format = 85 jpg & res
We finally arrive at the Galaxy S10 and S10 +. The screens are bigger, there is a fingerprint reader on the screen and they have not even one, not two, but three camera lenses on the back. We will have to spend more time with these beauties to determine if they are worth spending a lot of money, but until then, you can take a look at our S10 / 10+ practical experience for more details.
