    Usually if you do the top and the back it will pop off pretty easy.

    What is the difference between Samsung S and S+?
    rosendo_mertz
    over 1 year ago
    Two of the closely related Galaxy devices are the Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus. The main difference between the Galaxy S and Galaxy S Plus is the chipset that they use. While the Galaxy S uses the Hummingbird chipset created by Samsung, the Galaxy S Plus uses the Snapdragon chipset created by Qualcomm.

    What does Samsung S stand for?
    mary_koch
    over 1 year ago
    This is the handset that kicked it all off in 2010: the original Galaxy S, a 119g 3G smartphone with a 4-inch 800-by-480-pixel display and a 5-megapixel camera at the back. It ran Android 2.1 (Éclair). The 'S' stands for 'Super Smart' under Samsung's naming conventions.
