TheSamsung Galaxy SLCD orSamsung Galaxy SL (GT-I9003) is anAndroidsmartphone designed and manufactured bySamsung Electronics that was released in February 2011 due to shortage of Super AMOLED displays. It features a 1 GHzARM Cortex-A8 processor, 4 GB of internal flash memory, a 4-inch (10 centimeters) 480x800 pixelWVGASuper Clear LCD capacitive touchscreen display,Wi-Fi connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera with a resolution of 2560x1920, and a front-facing 0.3 MP (640x480) VGA camera.[citation needed]
The Samsung Galaxy SL has a 10.16-centimetre (4.00 in) SuperClear LCD touch screen, protected byGorilla Glass. The SC-LCD is cheaper than the AMOLED display used inSamsung Galaxy S. Furthermore, the display consumes more power compared toSuperAMOLED displays, although the phone ships with a higher capacity battery than theoriginal Galaxy S to compensate for it. An advantage of the SuperClear LCD display over theSuperAMOLED one is that the latter uses aPenTile Matrix layout that some users find less visually appealing, while the former is a trueRGBdisplay.[citation needed]
The phone uses a different DAC compared to the originalSamsung Galaxy S. It uses theTexas Instruments' TWL5030 which is integrated into the OMAP 3630chipset.[citation needed]
The Samsung Galaxy SL uses theTexas InstrumentsOMAP 3630SoC, which includes a 45 nm 1 GHzARM Cortex-A8 basedCPU core with 65 nmImagination Technologies'PowerVR SGX 530GPU which supportsOpenGL ES 1.1/2.0.[1]
The phone was originally shipped withAndroid 2.2.1 Froyo, with Samsung's own proprietaryTouchWiz 3.0 user interface. Samsung started to rolled out updates in October 2011 for upgrading toAndroid 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Users are required to useKies PC Suite for upgrading to Gingerbread. Samsung also announced that the upcoming "value pack" update is expected to bring performance improvements to the phone, includingTouchWiz 4.0, face unlock, etc. to all of their legacy Galaxy line smartphones. As of mid-June 2012, the value pack has been available in several regions.[citation needed]
Along with default Android apps, a few extra apps are included, like Voice Memo, Mini Diary, ThinkFree Document viewer, andLayar augmented reality browser. Like many other Samsung Galaxy devices, the playback of DivX/Xvid videos is supported.Adobe Flash 11 plugin for Android is also present.[citation needed]
In July 2012,Samsung announced that an official update toAndroid 4.1.2 ''Jelly Bean'' will not be provided, as they felt that all Galaxy S line did not have enoughRAM to run their own proprietaryTouchWiz user interface on top of Android 4.1.2. However, developers such as theCyanogenMod team, based onAndroid Open Source Project source code. Unofficial support forAndroid 4.4 KitKat has been made available since November 2013.[citation needed]
The phone comes with support for many multimedia file formats, including audio codecs (FLAC,WAV,Vorbis,MP3,AAC,AAC+,eAAC+,WMA,AMR-NB,AMR-WB,MID,AC3,XMF), video codecs (MPEG4,H.264,H.263,Sorenson codec,DivX HD/XviD,VC-1) and video formats (3GP,MPEG-4,WMV,ASF,AVI,DivX,MKV,FLV).[citation needed]
