Samsung had more than one card up its sleeve at Mobile World Congress 2011. After announcing the Samsung Galaxy II and the Galaxy Tab 10.1, the company launches two Android-based transferable media players. The most important difference between the two handsets is there screen size. It has a 4-inch WVGA Super LCD display, whereas the Galaxy S Wi-Fi 5.0 has a 5-inch touch screen.
Both devices are operated on Android 2.2 and offer access to Android Market. They also use Samsung's 1GHz Hummingbird processor and come with a rear-facing 3.2-megapixel camera and a front-facing VGA camera with support for VoIP video calls over a Wi-Fi connection.
In the multimedia department, it support a collection of music and video codec’s, together with MP3, AAC, WMA9, OGG, Flac, MPEG4, H.264, DivX, XviD, and WMV. It will come in three capacities 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB.
They're very slim and easy to handle, but also feel efficient and plastic.It will be approaching UK markets this month.
Videos played back superbly on both screens, and the handhelds felt very receptive. It’s hard to make any sort of verdict on the widget, but it seems capable as an iPod Touch contender, especially for Android fans.
