Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0 up for pre-order
If you’re in the market for a portable media player and the iPad or iPod touch isn’t your thing, the good news is that Samsung’s Android PMPs, the Galaxy Player 4.0 and Galaxy Player 5.0 are now up for pre-order.
For those unfamiliar with either device, the Galaxy Play 4.0 sports a 4” SCLCD 800×480 display with Gingerbread 2.3.5 as its choice of platform. It will also sport a 3.2MP camera that is capable of 720p video recording, along with a front-facing VGA camera for video chat. It will come with 8GB of internal storage but will sport a microSD card slot for up to an additional32GB of memory expansion.
The Galaxy Player 5.0 does not differ much from the 4.0, except with a 5” TFT display along with a bigger battery of2500mAh, which is more than double that of the Galaxy Player 4.0. They’re both up for pre-order at the moment and will set you back $229 and $260 for the Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0 respectively. They’re expected to start shipping come 16th October.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
