One of my biggest complaints with the original Samsung Galaxy S was the lack of innovation in its design. The thing looks like a blatant iPhone 3G ripoff, right down to the re-arrangment of the standard Android buttons to include a singular, central home button that smacks of the lone button on Apple’s phone. That central home button is back for the Samsung S5830 as shown in some recently leaked images of the handset to debut at Mobile World Congress 2011.
But for all that the the original Galaxy S looked liked last generations iPhone, this new handset takes its design cues from the next generation iPhone 4. Of course the Android 2.2.1 handset with 5MP camera capable of 720p HD video recording probably won’t be in the same rank as the Galaxy S (we doubt we are looking at the Galaxy S2 here), so maybe the design choices are a bit more forgivable. We’ll see more of this one when we travel to MWC in February.
