\"\"<\/a>People are still buzzing about the HTC EVO<\/a>, which debuted yesterday at the CTIA trade show. There’s good reason for the buzz — fast processor, large display, high-definition video recording and speedy 4G service. But if you take away the 4G, another phone appeared yesterday that rivals the EVO on paper. I’m talking about the Samsung Galaxy S<\/a>, which ought to appeal to folks with a GSM provider.<\/p>\n

In lieu of a Qualcomm Snapdragon, Samsung went in-house with their own 1 GHz CPU, but hasn’t released any further details on the chip. The 4″ display is SuperAMOLED that should provide vibrant color — handy for watching video on the 800 x 480 screen. Google’s Android 2.1 lies beneath, but Samsung’s new SmartLife user brings some customization and social networking updates to the home screen. The 5 megapixel camera takes stills of course, as well as 720p video at 30 fps. HSPA — the faster 7.2 kind — Bluetooth and 802.11b\/g\/n Wi-Fi round out the connectivity options.<\/p>\n

Between Samsung’s Galaxy, the HTC EVO, and Nexus One, it looks like a new standard for high-end smartphones is taking shape. A 1 GHz CPU paired with high-res display, fast mobile broadband, and HD or near-HD video capability is the status quo right now. The age of the superphone is here, although you’ll have to wait a bit — Samsung hasn’t yet announced pricing or a release date, saying the phone will be available soon. Funny — the EVO and Galaxy S share that trait too.<\/p>\n
