The Samsung Galaxy W I8150 is a Galaxy S (Plus) inside, but a completely different device outside. The change of screen tech is the key thing to note. No SuperAMOLED is bad news aesthetically, but should be easier on your budget.

The styling is easily recognizable, a thing that you'll appreciate if you've had enough of the original I9000 Galaxy S forms. So, although there's nothing we haven't seen before, Samsung have raised the Galaxy W's chances by giving it personality of its own.

There's a bit of the Galaxy Ace S5830 in it and some of the Galaxy S Plus. We guess the Galaxy W will cross paths with these two more often than not. For all we know, the Galaxy W may be a regional edition, just like the Russia-bound Galaxy S Plus or a minor upgrade for the Ace. It seems no number of phones will be enough for Samsung in the midrange. Some of them may look too similar but they may never compete on the same market. And phones like the Galaxy W will probably enjoy robust demands by both end users and carriers.
