Samsung Galaxy Player 5: Design
The Samsung Galaxy Player 5 is both larger and heavier than the fourth-generation iPod touch. The Galaxy Player is composed largely of plastic, but feels very well built. Unfortunately, the decorative silver-toned bezel scratched easily in my pocket and backpack, much as the bezel on the Galaxy Player 4 did.
The Galaxy Player 5 gets its name from its more-than-ample 5-inch, 800-by-480 WVGA LCD screen, which tops the fourth-generation iPod touch's 3.5-inch display in size but not in resolution. The standard Android navigation buttons are arranged underneath the screen. As with most other Samsung handhelds, the power button resides on the right edge of the device, and the volume rocker sits on the left. The headphone jack rests on the bottom of the device, along with the Micro-USB port. In addition to the aforementioned front-facing VGA (640-by-480-pixel resolution) camera, the Galaxy Player 5 has a rear-facing 3.2-megapixel camera with flash.
