Unboxing the Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) Smartphone

The new Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S smartphone just hit our doorstep and we’ve got an unboxing of the device after the break. As we mentioned in our first look, it comes pre-loaded with a variety of entertainment content including MobiTV, the movie Avatar and Slacker Radio. It also comes with the Amazon Kindle for Android application and a free month of Gogo in-flight internet access.

Spec wise, the Vibrant has a 4-inch AMOLED touch screen, the Samsung Cortex A8 1GHz processor, a six-axis sensor for gaming, a 5.0 megapixel camera with autofocus (and 720p video) and access to T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network. The phone runs Android version 2.1 (no Froyo here).

The phone comes in a box similar to that of the Apple iPhone, with the phone being the first thing you see after opening it and the accessories stacked below it. The Vibrant comes with just a USB charging cable, power adapter, and wired headset. The AMOLED screen is fairly bright at its default setting (1/3 of full) but does have somewhat of a blue tint to it. While the plastic enclosure does feel a tad cheap, it is solid and comfortable to hold in your hand.

We’ll have our full review in a couple of weeks.
