The original Samsung Galaxy S (I900) has an AMOLED display that is known for exceptional pixel depth, color saturation and battery life. Due to the shortage of AMOLED displays and price concerns in emerging South Asian markets, Samsung has launched a redesigned Galaxy S variant, Galaxy S LCD (I9003). The new model has a 4.0″ 480 x 800 pixels LCD display instead of the AMOLED in Galaxy S. The design and other specifications of the Galaxy S LCD are almost same as the Galaxy S. Galaxy S LCD is now available in India-in effect, the old model has been discontinued.
