Samsung Galaxy S1 vs. S2 vs. S3, How The Galaxy Has Changed Over Time

2012-08-07
hey guys Davey here from phonebook comm and this we don't want to talk about how the Galaxy S lineup has changed over the years starting with the original Galaxy S 2 the galaxy s 2 and now that the galaxy s 3 just want to talk about the hardware a little and also the software so on the left with the Galaxy S the original actually the t-mobile variant the US version it has a 4-inch screen going diagonally it was 800 by 480 and resolution Super AMOLED of course you have the four capacitive touch buttons at the bottom and on the back you have a five major so camera this particular variant then I have a front facing camera but for the ones that did it was a VGA camera galaxy s2 in this case Sprint's Epic 4G Touch variant had a bigger screen as you can see it's a noticeably bigger at 4.5 inches some variants were 4.3 inches but this guy was 800 by 480 so the same resolution but the difference was this guy is Super AMOLED plus so the sub pixel layout is a little bit different they weren't shared sub pixels giving you a little bit better quality than you get over here and you can see you have the same 4 capacitive touch buttons as you did on the original Galaxy s4 the US version again the international version had a physical home button with the up capacitive buttons on the sides and the back has a 8 megapixel camera and on the front you actually have a 2 megapixel front facing shooter on this guy so pretty impressive you know improvement from the original and then now we have the galaxy s3 which are obviously hung up from the screen Department just keeps getting bigger and bigger this is a four point eight inch display but the difference between the this and the last two is the resolution has finally been kicked up to 1280 by 720 now the screen type is Super AMOLED like it is on the original galaxy s so it's not super amoled plus but you know with the higher resolution it really does make up for that shared sub pixel layout so definitely obviously the better screen is on the galaxy s3 now what's interesting is on the US versions on the bottom you have only two capacitive touch buttons kind of like the international versions work for the s-1 and s2 with the physical home button here at the center and on the back you have an 8 megapixel camera similar to the one found on the galaxy - so not that big of a increase or improvement from the galaxy's tube on the front the front facing camera is 1.9 megapixels basically around the same as it was on the galaxy s2 again obviously the quality difference can be a little bit different because there are different lenses but as far as the megapixel count they're pretty much the same let's go ahead and compare the phone side-by-side you can see all three had the power button at the right obviously the spacing is a little bit different but for the most part you know close to the right thumb so you could turn on the screen easily at the top all three of them had the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack over here on the Galaxy S one air and s2 galaxy s3 they flipped it over to this side the charging port is actually at the top for the s1 where on the s2 and s3 there at the bottom and on the left side you have the volume rocker for all three versions and you can see the thickness you know pretty much it's gotten thinner over the years there wasn't dramatic dramatic difference between the s1 to s2 however the s3 is noticeably thinner than both of these guys and obviously you know with it being this much bigger that's a definitely good thing because it doesn't make it much more pocketable so that's the you know outside look at it on the inside you had a 1 gigahertz processor on the original Galaxy S and this is for an international version and you know the wording that came in the States it was a 1 gig of processor it's a hummingbird processor on the s2 yet a little bit of differences now the international version had the akeno's 1.2 gigahertz processor which actually the sprint version did as well but some US variants had the qualcomm snapdragon s3 processor clocked a little bit higher at 1.5 gigahertz so that's the difference there the s3 has all US version had the Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 processor at 1.5 gigahertz but the international version had a the akeno's processor like this guy but it was a quad-core obviously at 1.4 gigahertz so a little bit you know slower frequency but of course you have four cords major difference between the Galaxy s3 in the US and the international version is this guy has 2 gigabytes of RAM this guy's 1 gigabyte of RAM and this guy only has 512 so basically if you think about it as far as the US versions the ram has doubled every single time with every new galaxy s so pretty impressive me really think what you're doubling the RAM every single time and the processors you know not necessarily doubled from here to here it was doubled but from here to here wasn't really double but definitely dramatic increase our improvement on the s3 you know I do like a lot and considering it is pushing a high resolution resolution screen definitely needed that processing power but anyways that's pretty much it for the hardware it's going to talk about software see how TouchWiz has actually changed TouchWiz on the original galaxy as you know it's very simple you had the a black background over here scroll to the right and I left once you scroll it to the right you're pretty much stuck and you have three apps right here that you can customize got the notification bar just for little toggles that you could turn on and off and just all grey notification shade so that's pretty much it when you press many you had you know these typical little options and go into settings and looks like this so that's the way the TouchWiz looked on the Galaxy S the original on the galaxy s2 TouchWiz looks a little bit different the background is now clear so you could actually scroll through your apps and not have to look at a back background they also got rid of the little the application used to have a little square border around them like over here all little apps had square boards they get rid of them over here which I definitely prefer because it looks a lot cleaner and now you have the scrolling motion which could scroll like that I'm not sure if this one had it yeah I don't think it did but so yeah that scrolling motion with TouchWiz 4.0 now when you press many obviously without having Ice Cream Sandwich it looks like this instead of the little six icons over here so it definitely looks a lot cleaner the notification bar looks a little bit better you have more toggles now you have five toggles instead of just four like you did over here and you know makes it a little bit easier to access what you're looking for and on the s3 you know it's probably mine obviously my favorite version of TouchWiz now on the app dock you have four apps that are customizable versus three and that's thanks to the high resolution screen the notification bar you've got not only do you have five toggles right here but you know you could actually scroll over you have an extra four so you have nine total toggles that you can turn on and off much more control at your hands you as a setting button here to go straight to the settings course as an ICS type option the app drawer looks pretty much the same it is see-through but now it's you can scroll all the way through instead of getting stuck at the end widgets are available right here as well so you know it follows kind of the theme of Ice Cream Sandwich but with Samsung's TouchWiz touch on top of it so that's pretty much how it looks you know things here obviously there's a lot of changes you know that happened in the software versions over here just basic software you have the introduced motion controls on the galaxy s2 and that they took it to the next level with the galaxy s3 with features like smart stay where the camcorder are the camera on the front detect your eyes to see you know what am I looking at to determine whether or not to turn off the screen um and a whole bunch of other features but anyway just wanted to do a quick you know talk about I mean you know it's really nice to be able to look back at technology to see how it's progressed over time kind of gives the ideas for us I know it's kind of early but what the you know next Galaxy S will look like the s4 you know what kind of pot will probably have see a quad-core processor for sure and that you know who knows how much RAM they'll put in what kind of screens we'll see but anyway so when it is quick video for all you you know Android fans like me all you Galaxy S fans like me I'm you know I've owned every single one of them since they've come out and definitely I love them and you know definitely of the improvements feel like Samsung really you know is the flagship manufacturer for Android because not only they make the Nexus phones but their Galaxy S lineup is the best selling Android phones out so anyway that's it for me in this video if you found it you know helpful or if you liked it hit the thumbs up button and subscribe to the channel thank you
