What does the 'S' stand for?

_________________

In the Galaxy S line, it was just a way of indicating that it was newer than the original Samsung Galaxy. I don't think it particuarly meant anything, it was just a marketing gimmick.

Then the Galaxy S got popular, so every other manufacturer half-inched the name in hopes of leeching sales for their low-to-medium end smartphones, presumably on the grounds that it would be difficult for Samsung to defend a trademark on the letter "S". Even Samsung itself did it with its cunningly named, but distinctly entry-level soundalike smartphone the "Galaxy Ace".

Samsung; Sony; Steve.

Hmm, from what I remember iPhone 3GS came out 2009 at the same time as Samsung's first Galaxy/Android. Samsung Galaxy S came out 2010 alongside iPhone 4.

It's probably something silly like "Speed"

A capital 'S' on the end of a name is the new lowercase 'i' at the start.

I always assumed it was like S Class in racing games, which I think means Special Class.
