Samsung says it’s because the Galaxy S is better tailored to the South Korean market than some of its competitors, like, say the Apple iPhone 3GS.Samsung attributes this to the preloaded app package that serves South Koreans better than what the Apple offering comes with.
The Galaxy S smartphone is tailored to better cater to South Korean consumers, the company said, with pre-loaded applications from South Korean bookstores and portal Web sites.
The 9.9 millimeter-thin Galaxy S is powered by a 1-gigahertz Samsung chip and sports a sharper display visible in the sunlight.
