Q. I was wondering which should I buy a 4th generation Apple 8GB iPod Touch or a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0? Please only give me advice between the two devices and no other advice on other devices please. Is the Samsung Galaxy Player hardware better than the iPod touches? For example a faster processor and capable of playing better games etc and being faster? Or is the iPod touch better? Please give me lots of advice on which one I should buy and why. I will give 5 stars to the most detailed best answer. PLEASE HELP ME I DON'T KNOW WHICH TO GET!! THANKS!! :)
A. The Galaxy Player is probably better spec wise, but it's still stuck on an older version of Android. I know you only want to hear between these two, but if you find a Galaxy Player 4.2, get it. It kills both and has ICS support (or so I've read). The iPod has it's ups, but it's not been updated for some time now, and it's getting to the point that even though it will run the latest version of iOS it doesn't support all, if any of the features, this isn't much of an issue now, but come iOS 6, I'm afraid you'll be stuck with the same basic features as the 3GS as it's doubtful you'd get as much as the iPhone 4 feature wise. Overall both are awesome, but I'd give it to the Galaxy as it has better internal hardware, granted the screen isn't super AMOLED, it isn't a deal breaker.
Ps Vita or samsung galaxy player 4.0?
Q. The ps vita is starting to look ugly, 3 hour battery, chunky design, super expensive memory cards and the launch games suck. The galaxy player has 8gb built in, has a better battery life, it can run game emulators, and a 32gb micro sd is like 50$ and a 32gb vita stick is 120$.
Total costs:
32gb vita with no games is almost 400$, 1 game is 40$
40gb galaxy player is 270-300$, plus I can run game emulators
so which should I get?
A. Well it really depends on what u want. If your looking dor a general multimedia expirience and your going tk carry the fldevice around as well as take it on the go you will be better of with the samunsung galaxy player. It has a mich nicer camera, much better speakers and sound quality, a much nicer stock music interfase, its form would male it nicer for web browsing aswell as its screen (sper clear lcd) for picture veiwing and watching movie, it would be also be nicer for social netwkorking becuase of its cAmera form and the android market witch has about 350,000 apps as im typing this. The samung galaxy player is also very good for games with top of the line 3d graphics aswell as 2d graphics. Plus there are hundreds of thousands of different games for it its redicoulous. However with supperior graphics and physical controls the ps vita would be better for simply hardcore gaming(call of duty, battlefield 3, grand theft auto etc... But keep in mind when it comes to android devices the samung galaxy player has tje 2nd fastest gpu making it very good for gaming so when i say the ps viya has better graphics dont think the samung galaxy player doesnt. Think about ot like how the xbox 360 uas better graphics than the ps3. Ut its hardly noticable. And for example the samung galaxy player has twice the graphics performance of the sony xperia play or the playstation phone so if u choose that ober the ps vita and expect to play high graphical 3d games u wont be dissapointed. Plus think about this. The samung galaxy player will have about 5,000 new games in its market to play every month. The Play station vita may recieve 2-5 games every month. So your ultimately getting more games on the samung galaxy player u can even call it unlimited. And u can Pick up a 64 gb card for the samung galaxy player for $199.99 for 72 gb of memory. I am not biased i am simply telling you the facts.
Samsung galaxy player 5.0 or ipod touch 4g?
Q. Trying to decide which to get price is not a matter here
A. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (4inch display $230) and 5.0 (5inch display $270) both have a host of hardware features that the iPod Touch 4g does not have:
- GPS (the real deal, not just WiFi-based. Apps like "CoPilot Live USA" ($10) have offline maps so you can use the Galaxy Player just like dedicated GPS while traveling.)
- FM tuner (great for WiFi dead spots)
- Vibration feedback for UI, alarms, and games
- 3 silent capacitive touch controls on display (settings, home, and back)
- microSD card slot (up to 32GB card + built-in 8GB = 40GB max at any time. Be sure to buy the highest speed class (10 is highest right now) microSD card for snappy read/write speed.)
- LED camera flash (5.0 model only)
- 3.2MP back camera (iPod Touch has 0.7MP back camera)
- 1GHz Hummingbird processor
So, as for hardware features, the Galaxy Players 4.0 and 5.0 are far ahead of the iPod Touch.
However, the iPod Touch's 3.5inch 960Ã640 display has a higher resolution than the Galaxy Players' 800x480 Super TFT "SuperClear" LCD display. I own a Galaxy Player 4.0 and an iPod Touch 4g. If you bring the screens right up to your eyes, the iPod's display looks better, but if you view them from a normal distance, the Galaxy Players' display has darker black levels, can get much much brighter, and has a wider viewing angle. I prefer the Galaxy Player for normal arm's length viewing.
The Galaxy Players have a plastic back plate and are thicker than the iPod Touch 4g. However, they are surprisingly light for such comparatively large devices. The Galaxy 4.0 is quite pocketable, but I have not personally tried to pocket a Galaxy 5.0.
You can directly connect an iPod Touch 4g via a 3rd party cable to the HDMI, RCA, or component video inputs of a TV. This is known as MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link). The Galaxy Players do not support MHL, so no cable can export video from the device via the microUSB port. However, the Galaxy Players 4.0 and 5.0 do support AllShare (a Samsung customized layer on the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) industry standard), which allows them to wirelessly transmit audio+video to AllShare/DLNA compatible TVs. Here is a demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1aYipj60Cc&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLE51104BDD5CC802F
The iPod's major advantage is access to iTunes. For Android devices, one has the Android Market, Samsung App, Amazon App Store, etc. You will probably be able to find the same or an equivalent Android app that you could find on iTunes. However, it's the shopping and dealing with multiple vendor portals (and even in-app purchases for app upgrades) that those used to the ease and comfort of iTunes may find disconcerting. Android portals for apps and content (books, music, video) are getting better every year, but no one Android portal is currently in the same class as Apple's iTunes. That is just something you would have to live with if you go with Android.
I can't speak to the Galaxy Players' durability, etc. because they have only been released in the US since Oct/16/2011. However, in my opinion, they offer superior hardware features (listed above) and, once you get all of your favorite apps and settings lined up, you will likely have a better day to day experience. However, if the notion of shopping around for Android apps you want and not being able to get all of your content in one place doesn't appeal to you, then I would recommend sticking
with Apple's iPod Touch 4g. The iPod Touch's display may be smaller and its hardware features in need of an upgrade (no luck this year), but it is a rock solid device with a the one-stop-shopping iTunes juggernaut at your fingertips.
Good luck, and happy shopping :)
