Samsung Galaxy features 5MP camera, 4-inch screen

The Galaxy S camera phone made by Samsung will soon be offered by the top four U.S. carriers.

However, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless will each offer the Galaxy under a different name: Captivate, Epic 4G, Vibrant, and Fascinate, respectively. Sprint’s version adds a front-facing VGA camera for video calling.

The Android 2.1 phone has a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus, and HD video recording at 720p. It also has a six-axis sensor that combines the accelerometer and gyroscope functions.

The 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen offers “the best representation of color on a mobile phone that matches original content,” the companies say, “with more than 100 times the contrast quality of other leading displays,” as well as faster response time that reduces “ghosting” images, and wide viewing angles.

The phone will be priced around $199 with a two-year contract.

Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC, is the Dallas-based subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
