Samsung is expanding its line of Android-powered Galaxy devices with two
new media players aimed denting the iPod Touch's dominance.
The Galaxy Players come in two screen sizes: four inches and five inches.
We had a chance to test out the Galaxy Players today. Here's what we
thought:
As far as functionality, they're basically smaller versions of Samsung's
seven-inch Galaxy Tab. They have all the same features of any Android
device, including access to the Android Market.
We were most impressed with the five-inch model. It feels like a nice
balance between phone and tablet, and is the perfect size for watching
and streaming video.
The cameras were pretty weak. Both models have the same 3.2 MP camera,
but the quality wasn't that great.
The four-inch model feels just like Samsung's line of Galaxy Android
phones such as the Galaxy S 4G and Nexus S. We still liked the five-inch
model better for video.
Here are the rest of the specs. There's not much difference between the
two models other than screen size:
Front-facing VGA camera and rear 3.2 MP camera with flash
Wifi
Compatible with Flash 10.1
The four-inch model will be able to make VoIP calls over wifi using Skype
HD Video Playback
8 GB of storage, with expandable microSD storage up to 32 GB
There's still no word on pricing or a specific release date, but Samsung
says the Galaxy Players will be available this spring.
