The Samsung Galaxy S (retrospectively referred to unofficially as the Samsung Galaxy S1, Galaxy SI or simply S1) is a touchscreen-enabled, slate-format Android-based smartphone developed and marketed by Samsung Electronics. It is the first smartphone of the Samsung Galaxy S series. It is the first device of the third Android smartphone series produced by Samsung and is the first Samsung Galaxy smartphone to also be released for Asian and North American phone carriers. It was announced to the press in March 2010 and released for sale in June 2010. After the release of Android 2.2 "Froyo" for the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung released a successor to the device called S LCD or SL and ceased production of the original I9000 model due to shortage of Super AMOLED displays.

The Samsung Galaxy S merged formerly separate Galaxy and Ultra Edition products and is produced in over two dozen variations. The international 'GT-I9000' reference version features a 1 GHz ARM "Hummingbird" processor, a PowerVR SGX540 graphics processor, 2 or 4 GB of internal flash memory, a 4 in (10 cm) 480×800 pixel Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, Wi-Fi connectivity, DLNA support, a 5-megapixel primary camera and a 0.3-megapixel secondary front-facing camera. Derivative models may include localized cellular radios or changes to button layouts, keyboards, screens, cameras or the Android OS.
