The Samsung Galaxy S Plus is an Android smartphone, introduced August 2011. Theoretically it is a slight update of the Samsung Galaxy S model. However, almost all hardware components differ.
The Galaxy S Plus features the Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255T chipset with a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Scorpion processor which is faster than the original Samsung Galaxy S and is accompanied by the Adreno 205 (enhanced) GPU which is slightly slower than the PowerVR SGX540.
The device may be not especially popular. Some developers have nonetheless performed work for this device. It originally came with Android 2.3.3, but it can be upgraded to Android 2.3.6. The device also unofficially supports CyanogenMod versions up to 12.1 (Android 5.1.1). The device's processor can be also overclocked up to 1.8 GHz with a custom kernel.
