Samsung recently launched the Samsung S Plus handset which is part of their Galaxy range. The handset has a decent and the standard design that Samsung generally sticks to. It has all the features that the Galaxy range handsets that are available in the market. The Samsung S Plus is basically the successor of Samsung Galaxy S and what needs to be seen is whether this handset is better than its predecessor or not. Needless to say that the phone is 3G enabled and has GPS technology too. The standard features such as organiser, Image/video editor, document editor, predictive text input (Swype). This smart phone is no doubt faster than its predecessor and that is the processor that has been used for this handset is 40% faster than that of the Samsung Galaxy S.The Samsung Galaxy S is just a slightly tweaked up version of the Galaxy S and sure is lighter that its predecessor. The main features and specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S Plus are as follows:

The Samsung S Plus seems to be a great phone but the biggest drawback that it has is that it lacks an LED Flash, and thus taking pictures during the night is not possible. The camera is capable of shooting videos though.
