This post is going to be a little long because I’ll be showing you some of the indoor and outdoor pictures that I’ve taken using Samsung Galaxy S. Samsung Galaxy S has a 5-megapixel camera but it is the camera features that amazed me, especially the Tap To Focus and Panorama feature.

- Portrait
- Landscape
- Night
- Sports
- Party/Indoor
- Beach/Snow
- Sunset

Maxis10: Samsung Galaxy S 5mp Camera – Features & Pictures
I’ve uploaded a short video in Youtube showing you how to use the TV-Out feature of Samsung Galaxy S. By using TV-Out, the image you see on the phone will be displayed on the TV. This makes the TV-Out feature comes in handy in several occasions, such as :-
- Sharing with your friends and family the pictures and videos you’ve captured.
- Playing songs through the TV with better sound quality.
- Slide-show presentation
- Playing movies on the hotel TV when you are traveling
- Playing games on a larger display if you think the 4″ AMOLED screen is too small. :)
- Many more…
To enable TV-Out, go to Applications > Settings > Sound and display > TV out. By the way, the TV system in Malaysia is PAL.
When TV-Out is enabled, the sound will come out from the TV speaker making watching movie using Samsung Galaxy S a different experience.
Hope you like this video.

The Super AMOLED touchscreen is one of the main selling points of Samsung Galaxy S. When I first turned on the phone after receiving it, I was totally blown away by the clarity and colour richness. You should really check it out yourself if you have the chance.
What is AMOLED?
AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (LED). According to Wikipedia, an AMOLED display consists of OLED pixels that have been deposited or integrated onto a thin film transistor (TFT) array to form a matrix of pixels that generate light upon electrical activation, which functions as a series of switches to control the current flowing to each of the pixels.
Basically, the main advantages of AMOLED are :-
- Thin and lightweight screen
- Low power consumption
- Wide viewing angle
What is Super AMOLED?
Super AMOLED is the enhanced version of AMOLED produced by Samsung. Super AMOLED integrates the touch sensor into the screen rather than being overlaid on top of the screen. The direct benefits include a thinner touch screen and lighter phone weight. That’s why Samsung Galaxy S weights is only 118g and have a thickness of only 9.9mm. Other advantages of Super AMOLED as compared to AMOLED or normal TFT screen are :-
- 20% brighter screen
- Wider viewing angle (Samsung Galaxy S has 180 degree viewing angle)
- 80% less sunlight reflection (overcome the shortcoming of AMOLED)
- 20% reduced power consumption (even lesser power consumption than iPhone4 Retina Display)
Let’s take a look of how Samsung explain Super AMOLED in the video below :-

I’ve been receiving a lot of phishing emails sent from Maybank2U.com asking the users to secure the account by clicking a link in the email. See the screen shot of the phishing email below :-
The email looks very suspicious when I first received it :-
- 1. The title has obvious spelling mistake.
- 2. The email was sent from an unknown source outside Malaysia.
- 3. The link to secure your account looks legit when you hover your mouse over the link.
- In fact, the link is actually pointing to franchiyhancevic.biz (phishing website)
The Whois Record of Maybank2U.com does not have any information about Malayan Banking Berhad. However, the link Maybank2U.com is pointing to Maybank2U.com.my though.
I’ve summarized the 10 aspects about Samsung Galaxy S which I think it needs to be highlighted.
1. It has a huge 4-inch touch screen.
The screen size is exactly the size of a normal credit card!
2. The colour of the AMOLED screen is so rich and vibrant.
This picture is not from a LCD screen, it’s directly shot from Samsung Galaxy S.
3. It’s so light it weights only 118g.
118g with battery!
