The Galaxy S 4G measures 4.8 by 2.5 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.2 ounces. The new silver and chrome exterior finish looks nicer; the original Vibrant feels a bit cheap in comparison. The new sculpted back panel feels better to hold during calls, too. The Galaxy S 4G features the same 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen as before, with 480-by-800-pixel resolution and bright, vibrant colors. The Galaxy S 4G uses Swype, a popular virtual keyboard that lets you swipe your finger between letters without picking it up to type. Normally I'm not a Swype fan, but I had an easier time using it on the Galaxy S thanks to the large glass screen, even in portrait mode (which scrunches the keys together). Dialing numbers was also fast and responsive. One downside: unlocking the phone requires a deliberate, carefully positioned swipe from the bottom of the screen all the way to the top. This became old quickly.
