The Samsung GT-I7500 Galaxy is a smartphone manufactured by Samsung that uses the Linux-based Android operating system, which was purchased and further developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance to create an open competitor to other major smartphone platforms of the time, such as Symbian, BlackBerry OS, and iPhone OS. It was announced on 27 April 2009[2] and was released on 29 June 2009 as the first Samsung Mobile device to use the Android operating system introduced in the HTC Dream (marketed as the T-Mobile G1), [3] and the first in what would become the long-running Galaxy series. It was succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy S in 2010.
