Samsung Galaxy S Advance hands-on

It's getting so you need a map to traverse Samsung's mobile Galaxy, but that's not stopping the outfit from cranking out handsets - no matter how minuscule the tweaks. Announced back in January, the Galaxy S Advance falls solidly on the middle of the OEM's consumer scale, delivering aspects a speedy 1GHz dual-core experience on a build of Android 2.3.6. Naturally, the device comes outfitted with TouchWiz, but that skin does not get in the way of the apparent Snappy performance, as we noticed navigation, Transitions and browse all Carried on without a Hiccup. As you guessed might've, the saturated, 4-inch 800 x 480 display is of the Super AMOLED variety, so you will not have much difficulty viewing the screen from a variety of angles. And while the construction is a typical plastic enclosure with subtly textured back, the combination of its light weight and thin profile conspire to make this one attractive purchase. A global roll out's mostly already underway, though sadly, the U.S. is not included on that select list.
