Samsung M100S Android 2.1 AMOLED smartphone launched

04 February 2010 by Chris Davies



Samsung’s latest Android smartphone – and indeed its first to run Android 2.1 – has broken cover in Korea.  The Samsung SHW-M100S has a 3.7-inch AMOLED WVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, and an 800MHz processor, and will apparently land on SK Telecom next month.

There’s also WiFi 802.11n, GPS, a T-DMB digital TV tuner and a 3.5mm headphone jack, while the media player software can handle DivX files.  The worst news, frankly, is that Samsung’s TouchWiz UI has made another appearance.  No word on whether or not the M100S will make it outside of Korea and to the US or Europe.

    It's a good looking Android phone - the problem with buying android devices from anyone other than Google's superphones - it leaves me to wonder how long after new updates arrive for those superphones before they trickle down to Samsung, Moto and other non-HTC superphones.

    Yeah, thats why I stick with htc, at least there is a huge modding community, so that we get the updates faster, usually before they have even been rolled out.

    The Android Modding community is strong on a whole. The custom ROMs for the Droid are just amazing. We have the Nexus update already and all the 2.1 elements we want. This Samsung looks good. No doubt someone will hack it. I believe all these Android superphones will produce their own communities. Its a good thing I guess.

    this phone IS very attractive...

    I wonder if they learned from their first touchwiz android device and fixed/changed 1) overlapping widgets and app shortcuts ,2) the app drawer opening on the left 3) that horrible cube idea, lol. that cube is a joke.

    The cube was actually the good part of touchwiz. Truth be told,the Behold 2 is probably the best multimedia Android device available right now. Everything from the video playback, album cover flow, to the feature packed camera, it beats the Nexus and the Droid in that department. They got that part right at least.
