Samsung Galaxy Player 50 hands-on
By Chris Ziegler   posted Sep 3rd 2010 7:47AM




Remember how Samsung downsized the Wave to make the Wave 723 and killed off the pricey,
fancySuper AMOLED display in the process? Yeah, well, the same rule applies to the Android-
powered Galaxy line -- so if you were hoping to see some mind-blowing contrast ratios on
Sammy's new PMP... well, you can just keep on hoping (and besides, even the mighty Tab has
gone the TFT route for now). The Galaxy Player 50 is pretty cute in the flesh, featuring a 3.2-inch
WQVGA LCD with multitouch capability, Android 2.1, and your choice of 8GB or 16GB worth of
internal storage with microSD expansion up to 32GB. It's also packing a 2 megapixel cam on back
and support for 802.11n -- and heck, like the PhilipsGoGear Connect it's even got a mic, basically
putting it just one spec sheet line item shy of being an actual smartphone.

For all intents and purposes, the PMP feels like a midrange Android smartphone when you're
holding and using it; it's reasonably responsive, and we were happy to see that it has Google
Maps Navigation on board (along with the Android Market and all the other standard "Google
Experience" Android apps). We found the keyboard a bit cramped, but there's only so much you
can do with a portrait virtual QWERTY keyboard on a 3.2-inch display, and we imagine we could
get used to it with time. Needless to say, the total package feels more put-together than the
GoGear, and if we were rocking a dumbphone, wanted to keep our music compartmentalized,
and couldn't stand the thought of adding an iPod touchinto our lives, we imagine the 50 would be
on our short list. Follow the break for Samsung's press release -- and don't forget to have a
gander at the gallery!
