Design Elements
Samsung Galaxy S plus is a 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm dimensioned phone weighing about 119 gms. On the surface, nothing has changed on the Samsung Galaxy S Plus. It’s the same sleek case with a hardware button for home and two soft-keys for the context menu and the back button. It has the curious kink on the back cover, something that has all but gone from the newer Galaxy S II. Volume controls are on the left of the phone, with the lock key on the right. It’s harder to push on the side, which makes unlocking the phone a bit harder and slower.

I expected flash light for this version but Samsung disappointed me.
hmmm, there are few things which we need to compromise if we want to go for Samsung Galaxy S Plus..
Looks great! Any idea about the pricing?
it is available around $399..
Seriously looks great! But as per 400$ price ,I expected some basic features like flash and so on!
True.. hope the later versions will cater your needs..
thanks
I am now using this phone.. it is great! it is good for teenagers, like me, who is nearly 13. I like the phone. I dropped for i think 6 times… nothing happen! i was amaze! but one weakness is that the covers are very hard to find, not like iPhone or S II or S III … for others, i think the phone is perfect! =^__^=
Hi please help? I have this phone which I only able to use for 4 months! And now it’s no longer working. I even asked a mobile technician for it, but he told me that it will never be repaired. I was using it while browsing the net and then it started to turn on and off until it turned off permanently. Can you please help me if you’re familiar with this issue on this phone? Thanks a lot.
