In this post you will find out the specs comparison of Samsung Galaxy Player VS iPod Touch to determine which device is more superior and suitable for you to obtain.
Design
Samsung Galaxy Player VS iPod Touch
In terms of design, both devices come with the touchscreen bar style. The screen size of iPod is 3.5 inches with 960x640p resolution and multi-touch while the rival has the bigger screen size of 4.2 inches with 800x480p and multi-touch feature as well. Measuring 4.4 × 2.32 × 0.28 inches and weighing about 3.5 ounces, the iTouch is apparently more compact and a bit lighter as compared to the Samsung’s device (4.89 x 2.6 x 0.35 inches, 4 ounces). In this segment, the winner of this Samsung Galaxy Player VS iPod Touch showdown is the iTouch due to its higher resolution and sleeker design.
Hardware and OS
The iPod Touch comes packed with the single-core of Apple A4 along with the iOS 4.3 which is upgradable to iOS 5. The contender boasts the same single-core processor of 1 Ghz combined with the Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread). In this round, the showdown of Samsung Galaxy Player VS iPod Touch can be considered as tie as both devices will support for multi-task.
Camera and Multimedia
The Galaxy Player comes more superior with its 2 megapixels rear-camera than the challenger that only has the 0.7 megapixels of main camera. But on the other hand, the iTouch supports for playing the HD video (H.264) while the rival only supports for AVI, MP4 and MKV files. The music player of both devices support for a great number of popular music files like MP3, AAC and so on. Knowing this fact, the Galaxy Player is best for those who look for the better photo result while the iTouch is great for the movie lover.
Storage
With the price of $199, both devices come with the internal storage of 8 GB. But actually, the Galaxy Player allows for memory expansion with microSD card up to 32 GB while the iTouch lacks microSD card slot.
Battery Power
As the power supplier, the iTouch has the standard lithium-ion battery of 930 mAh which will deliver the music playback time up to 40 hours and video playback time up to 7 hours (when fully charged). The contender has been bundled with replaceable Li-ion battery of 1500 mAh with the music playback time up to 60 hours and video playback time up to 8 hours. Obviously, you can determine by yourself which device is better in this segment.
Verdict
As my final thoughts, this showdown of Samsung Galaxy Player VS iPod Touch is won by the Galaxy Player mainly because it has microSD card slot, better camera and longer time of music and video playback. But, if you’re looking for the slim and compact device with the more vivid display and higher resolution then you will definitely need to go for the iPod.
