14 DAY TRIAL // While some people can hardly wait to grab a new mobile phone to see how well does it perform when certain applications or services are launched on its, there are some who would rather have a look beneath the handset's cover, just as to make an idea on what causes the device to perform so well. This was the case with Samsung's high-end Galaxy S smartphone too, which has been recently torn to pieces, offering enthusiasts the possibility to have a look at that Hummingbird processor and at other internal circuitry of the device.
The tear down has been performed by the guys over at Korean site Danawa (via Samsung Hub). In addition to providing a large amount of photos describing the process, they also came up with detailed instructions on how one would be able to make the move at home. For what it's worth, it wouldn't be wise to do that with the Samsung Galaxy S you just bought from your wireless carrier, and the photos available with the Galaxy S torn to pieces should satisfy everyone's curiosity. The same applies to the video embedded below, even if it is not in English.
The Smasung Galaxy S has already managed to prove the hottest Android-based device Samsung has ever launched on the market. Announced officially earlier this year, the mobile phone was released in several countries in Asia and Europe, and managed to appeal to a lot of users already. In Korea alone, the handset was sold in more than 200,000 units during the first ten days of availability, a very impressive figure when compared to the 800,000 iPhone units sold in the country in about eight months since launch.
Powered by a Samsung 1GHz Hummingbird processor complemented by 512MB of RAM, a high end camera, a large amount of storage space and an appealing Super AMOLED touchscreen display, the Galaxy S seems to come with all the necessary ingredients to become successful. It should soon be put on sale on the North American market too, via various wireless carriers in the US and Canada.
