Samsung continues to build its Galaxy family with the announcement of the Galaxy Tab 8.9, and two media players Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0, intomobile reports.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is the thinnest tablet of Samsung and has a small display. The tablet will be available on October 2 in the U.S. The 16GB version will run $469, with the 32GB version costing $569.
The Galaxy Players are essentially the Android equivalent to an iPod Touch, just with larger displays that are better suited to consume media and give users the option to expand the storage on the player without having to buy another model. Obviously, the number within the Player’s name is an identifier of the screen size it has.
Both players have with a VGA front-facing camera, and a 3.2 megapixel camera on the back, but only the 5 comes with an LED flash. Both share the same WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, DLNA, 8GB of storage with microSD card slot (expandable to 32GB), and Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread.
Other than the screen size and lack of LED flash on the Galaxy Player 4, the only major difference seems to be the batteries, as the 4 has 1,200 mAh battery and the 5 2,500 mAh battery. The Galaxy Player 4 and 5 will both launch nationwide on October 16 for $229 and $269 in the U.S.
