Samsung - Galaxy Player 5.0 with 8GB Memory - White

I will start off with the headphones that come with it I have extremely small ear canals and I have a HARD TIME finding earphones to fit well the headphone that came with it fit me perfectly with out falling out of my ears. Now it took me a week to make up my mind about the size of it a 5.0 verse a 4.0 and then wasn’t sure I was going to keep it after I got it… but after turning it on and looking at the screen and actually being able to READ MY EMAIL WITHOUT BLOWING IT UP TO SEE IT WOW that was great in itself it took all my email addys easily and it downloaded all my contacts on it I found the facebook app and Pandora music along with Gas Buddy everything I had in my phone is on here just love it It has a good camera with Flash that the 4.0 doesn’t have and video in it that works flawlessly it also has a good sounding FM radio on it although you have to listen to it on head phone for the reception to go through and not the speakers the speakers don’t work with the FM this unit has 2 speakers on it that sound fairly decent but this unit can also be hooked up to a Ihome or Bose unit that has the attachment for better sounding music The Galaxy blows the I pod out of the water with its Micro SD card up to a 32 GB you can have several SD Cards for your music downloaded from your computer and not having to go to I tunes… you can keep extra SD cards for your music videos pictures etc It’s that easy Now to make things right when traveling I bought the Riot Outfitters - Folio Case for Samsung Galaxy Android Mobile Phones - Black Model: 9017-206 from Best Buy as well have posted pic’s of it on here for you to see and it works well with a snug fit and opening for the plug in it keeps it safe from scratches and fits in your bag or purse easily Now I have also placed ZAGG invisible SHIELD for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 (Full Body) make sure it is the one that the whole screen is covered and not just half of it again got it at Best Buy as well

i been looking for an mp3 player for ever, got tired of using my blackberry as an mp3 player and my galaxy tablet so i decided to get this. I have had countless apple products but none compare to this, dont get me wrong there great products but the amount of stuff you can do with this player far surpasses any other mp3 player out there. Not really that many good software that comes with the device just your regular standard apps that cant be deleted... =-(. This is a new way to view the android platform besides mobile phones or tablets. at first glances its a bit big but once you get used to it you wont even mind, screen is bright, crisp, clean and the colors seem to just pop out of the device. The sound on this is ok...im not a fan of the speakers being on the back but i dont mind. Sound is clear but once you start to raise the volume it gets a bit distorted so i suggest you mess around with the music player equalizer to fix this issue. like many android devices you can change the bottom icons and replace them with new icon but with these devices the bottom bar is pretty much locked with the icons it ships with so if you wish to change the icons on the bottom of the device i suggest you get a launcher to fully costumize your device without having to root it. one issue i have run into like many other is trying to run KIES with the device to add music and videos, after trying for several hours i decided to do it the old fashion way and transfer manually. A screen protector is a must have for this device and its big screen also its a good idea for now to get the riot outfitters leather portfolio to keep the device clean and without scratches. Overall i love the device and i promise no matter which one you get whether the SGP 4 or SGP 5 you will not go wrong...even if you have a tablet like me you will always find room for this one of a kind apple killer device =-)

Highly recommend this device for Android lovers who want a step up from the 'A-pod touch'. I love the competitor, but the speed, ease of use, functionality and size of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 5" is superior for those wanting something between the size of an 'Apod touch' and a full tablet.

Just got my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 for X-mas & i can't Put it Down.... It's my First Android Device too... I have Everything Apple now, ipad 2, Iphone 4s, macbook air.... its Refreshing to Use Something Android for a Change... Only Thing I'm Not Sure about is if... the Android Ice Cream Sandwich Update will come for this Device like it is for Other Galaxy Devices in 2012... Im Loving this None the Less & Highly Recommend it! :)

I was going to buy an itouch but I was concerned that it was too small. The sales man showed me his 5.0 Galaxy player and told me it would do everything the itouch could do. I bought it and to my surprise it is better than the itouch. You can expand the memory with an micro SD card and it also has an FM radio built in. I was able to transfer all my itunes music & it came with quality headphones that allows you to control the volume. There are many free apps available. I love this product!

This may be a MP3/ player however; I purchased this for its additional functionality. I work on the road and with wifi nearly everywhere I can keep in touch with work, family and friends, have access to e-mail, documents and the internet without having to return to the laptop. The expandable memory and the size is small enough to fit in my pocket yet large enough to read without wearing readers. The available apps from time reporting and all the construction tools available have save me hours in just the last month. Not to mention to have music, TV and movies is a nice treat.

Value for what you get is what this is all about. Size is perfect for carry and big enough to read fine print. Although pixel resolution may seem lower than itouch, it is crystal clear and sharp with brilliant colors. Speed is what this is about and much faster than my dual core tablet so don't let single core scare you away, it is silly. This comes second from top in benchmark tests. I am power user, HD streaming video no dropouts and is smooth unlike itouch 4G which cannot handle HD streaming. It is light weight due to plastic case instead of stupid steel that Apple uses making carrying everywhere no brainer. Fring, QQ video chat works good but image of me appears upside down. I haven't figured out what the problem was. Cam does not appear to have switch from front to back camera. Camera is very high resolution, as good as my Canon camera and built in light is excellent for closer very dark picture taking. Images from this camera leaves itouch 4G in the dust. 32 gig expansion allows me to put all my HD videos, thousands of mp3 music, spreadsheets, PDF, word files, etc. Stereo speakers are loud and sound good considering size. All apps work fine and run super fast compared to my other 2 Android devices. This 5" still fits in shirt pocket yet big enough for serious work and reading books, newspapers. Wifi connectivity excellent and no dropouts ever.

I love this thing. When I first received it for Christmas, I thought it was just going to be some normal mp3 player just bigger, but boy was I wrong. I'll try to keep the review short and sweet. Likes; The camera -4/5 is crisp and clear, does more than just "getting the job done". The pictures can be grainy in certain light, but that is to be expected from a media player. The Screen -5/5 Very vibrant and easy on the eyes when it comes done to reading etc. You don't have to squint to see the words or images(unless they're VERY small). The Interface; Gingerbread 2.3.5- 5/5 The Android system is pure genius. Just about everything is customizable and can fit the needs of anyone who has one. The headphones -5/5 For default headphones, they are simply amazing. Not a lot of bass and not too little vocal(on standard sound). They even came with control talk which is great with textPlus+. Storage -5/5 I mean seriously if you need more than 32gb you're doing to much lol. Just the fact that you can upgrade it impresses me + you'll still have the 8gb that already comes inside of the device itself. So you'll have roughly 32gb if you do get the extra memory. Side note; out of the 8 gb that come wit the device, you can only use about 5gb. Same applies to the 32gb(27/8gb) or whatever card you get to add more storage. (no need to explain anymore as this should be common knowledge for anyone who has ever owned a computer lol) Media player -5/5 This is what the device was meant for, its "bread and butter" per say. You can adjust the levels of the music to fit your taste, which I really like. The Video player plays all major files such as .wmv, .avi etc etc. And you can go through pictures with little to no lag. GPS -5/5 The best part is the GPS. You don't even need a internet connection for it to work, well I don't at least. May give a data error here and there, but no biggie. Osmand and Google Navigation are pretty good apps as they store(cache) your route when connected a network. So once you disconnect, you're good to go. Dislikes; Touch sensitivity when it comes down to typing in online forums may be too sensitive sometimes. The default keyboard does NOT have the left or right arrows on it, So if/when you make a mistake you have to touch the screen to move the cursor to make edits. If you don't care about backspacing a paragraph or more, than this shouldn't bother you at all. But for me it's very annoying. I'll touch the screen in front of a sentence, but instead of it going there, it goes to the next sentence(no where near the spot I touched). Easy fix if you're a fan of swype(the alternative that comes installed on the player) as the auto-correct would put the right word there for you. All in all, I'd give it a 5/5
