Samsung Galaxy vs HTC Hero vs HTC Magic vs Motorola Dext vs T-Mobile Pulse vs HTC Tattoo vs LG GW620

The Samsung Galaxy is threatening to steal the crown of the HTC Hero as the new flagship Android phone. Ahead of our forthcoming review, here's a taste of what's orbiting the Galaxy.

Bright and beautiful

With phones such as the i8910 HD, Samsung showed its mastery of the OLED screen, and we're slavering to see this bright, low-power screen will show off the Android user interface. In our hands-on with the Galaxy, we found that the all-glass capacitive screen was fast and responsive, and there's 8GB of memory on board as well as room for up to 32GB on a microSD card. There's also potential for some decent photos, thanks to the 5-megapixel camera and LED light.

Leave that Android alone

Samsung has left Android almost untouched, and although we like the vanilla version, we think we'll miss the extra widgets and the social-networking features on the HTC Hero and Motorola Dext. That being said, we think it's better to leave well alone than slap a poorly thought-out UI on top, so maybe it's for the best.

We leave the Galaxy to check the pulse of the first pay as you go Android phone, the T-Mobile Pulse.

I have the T-Mobile Pulse and its great for me. There everything you need on the device I stopped Pay Monthly contracts because of the ridiculus charges.

Its is well worth the purchase of one the these though I'm not too sure about T-Mobile Pulse mini too small and horrible screen dimension.
