Samsung Galaxy Player 70 Plus - User Reviews

  • s10's speaker grill is strikingly similar to this

  • Nope.

  • Can u update to a higher android operating system

  • how do you get it in the us?

  • How many model of Galaxy Player are there in the market?

  • I still like it. :D

  • yp-gb70d samsung galaxy player 70 plus

  • I want to know if these people are crazy for asking so much for the older versions and not the newer ones.

  • do we have a newer model like this in 2013?

  • Exactly the same as an iPod touch

  • People i mistakenly installed the galaxy s2(galaxy s 5.0) kernel/recovery mode, on my galaxy player 70 plus. So nw it does not go to recovery mode only downloader mode, please help me like seriously, if anyone can post me a link to the original kernel of the player or custom kernels, its from south korea by the way.

  • in my opinion, it is a beautiful android device

  • so this phone is good only for the following task like music playing, getting internet connection and playing mobile games???

  • if you read the declaration at top, GSM arena did said " Tablet with no support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS. Also known as Samsung YP-GB70D" tihs is NOT a phone, so cannot make call, no mms, sms..

  • Is this gadjet can make a call??

  • This phone is something like ipod touch

  • Hello! Do Samsung galaxy player 70 plus does not have the google market (player store) ?

  • This is a phone or tablet?Thank's!

  • where is it available in south africa?

  • MMMMMMMmmmmm..... i m little confused. is it an ipod. looks are gud.

  • Where can i get this from Canada or online?

  • No GPRS - because it is built to be a multimedia player not a 3G tablet. Otherwise it is even more expensive. ICS - it has a few GB updates but no there will never be any ICS. This 70 Plus is not worth the money, wait for the Player 5.8 it has ICS.

  • why Samsung Galaxy Player 70 plus not have a GPRS?? can this phone have a ice-cream sandwich android??

  • I have the 70 Plus player. GOOD: Everything is much faster than player 5.0 (USA) / player 70 (international). The hardware is identical to Galaxy S2 i9100G version. BAD: (1) Bad screen compared to player 5.0 - not sharp, color is faded. (2) Cannot play HD flash video embedded in browser (not with youtube app) - player came with Adobe flash player 10. Ungrade to flash player 11 cause browser to crash or black screen and no video. Flash player 10 can only play up to 480p video. My player 5.0 can play 720p flash video smoothly in the browser.

  • its very good

  • it is soo sood

  • No, it has 1gb of RAM. Check youtube vids.

  • Yes, its available now in malaysia..

  • sorry but aplle now it lose the race the beautiful screen 5" the samsung you can compare more bigger is better women says the same clear sharp we can download almost anything you must to pay for evrything compare with the little apple bye bye continue to watch movies in your littke screen jiji

  • no gprs?????

  • i'm gonna buy this gadget..i have a basic phone already, so i don't need a second phone..

  • i saw a comment and its too harsh... for me Samsung Galaxy Palayer is great. It has more battery life than other tablets. And besides, its easier to install applications in Android. i prefer it more. Beside, Samsung release new gadgets right after one. FYI,the creator Samsung and Apple is friends. :))

  • Its not a phone..Its an MP3 player..And I don't think this will be released in India...The previous versions are not yet available in FlipKart.com

  • when this model relies in Tamil Nadu i like so mach

  • Ummmm... it's not a phone.

  • this phone i very very like

  • just spend some money for the casing.....

  • iTouch seems preferable but I love Android so.... gonna get this.

  • Finally we will get a Music Play long life battery. Thanks Samsung.

  • awesome but not

  • i love the phone and the features. when will it be released on market and how much will it cost i want to buy the galaxy player 70

  • another apple fanboy...

  • i love it especially of it thickness...

  • iPod Touch 4G is far better than this player... Samsung first produced tv,washing machine,AC and all... Then they sarted producing mobile phones and now they are trying to produce these portable media players.... this just shows that they are trying to act smart.... After few years we all will see"Samsung Cement" with "S" technology....

  • BTW Iphone is made in china....

  • Dude, where's my galaxy player ?

  • You will like your ipod until there comes a time u are fed up with converting videos for compatibility but that ain't the case with this galaxy player.

  • Please bear in mind that every rectangular object isn't a ipod/iphone and the rectangular shape is not patented by 'apple'. That's it!

  • You hate Samsung,I hate Apple, that's the way of the world. And your comment about the naming,choice of OS,design etc. They r so baseless, first galaxy may b a chocolate's name but they use 'S' 'player' after it making it a different name. There r so many cases like this even your name might match with others' so should I call your name a copy. Second, android and google, google is one of the greatest companies in the world with it's google search engine and youtube and with android development they have taken a huge leap. Android is the only OS that got holad of me symbian nor ios had beeen able to do that. lastly, design , the design of galaxy phones or players r different in every way. Huawei's phones can b said copies tho not samsung one's. Do improve your writing to express yourself well, your writing is awful.

  • In terms of "the media" delivery. I would say, the amazons kindle fire would be the winner! But, I guess its only me.

  • why cant we arrive @ a final conclusion: is it the apple Ipod touch4 or the samsung galaxy player 70plus in terms of media delivery?

  • definitely i would buy this before another ipod touch

  • Well said...got him right.

  • Will it be available in Singapore?

  • the ipod touch 4g is avaliable in 32 an 64 gb and the ipod touch recording video in 720 hd better than plastic samsung galaxy player

  • If I hate this company, because they got a lots of lots of positive opinions even in the another phone area! I wonder, why do they have to do that??? And more. Some phones got more comments than iphones. I don't know you guys, but, seems to me, its kind of odd. This site should not allowed this. This is android os, right!? I am really surprised that people don't complain about it.

  • In other words, you don't like competition I would say, you'd be happy if there was only iPhone coz you feel there's something better overshadowing your phone, but competition makes the other party work harder and you'll have better phone with more features soon than if there was no competition out there.

  • Same Question Here, how will HOTSPOT work ?

  • I hate this brand call samsung you know why? galaxy is name of sweet brand. operator is android google company. design is apple (IPHONE , IPAD ,IPOD). no thing it new technic from this shame company . butter make washing machine or vacuum cleaner to clean it's history. Korea = china = duplicate brands

  • via wifi dude. . .

  • No gprs no hsdpa no edge no 2g no 3G but got WiFi hotspot..? How it work..?

  • Samsung is a great successor of the followers.

  • I considered this over my 4th gen iTouch because of the camera and large screen but the multitude of quality apps and uncluttered OS made me choose iTouch as a PMP

  • Samsung Galaxy Player 70 plus is better

  • guys all the apps available in apple appstore/iTunes are not made by Apple so please don't tell that some companies copy the iphone

  • Boss ! just buy ipod touch 4th Generation... Jailbreak it, and then u ll go mad seeing all available apps & games & utilities exclusively for APPLE.

  • People can only copy Apple... that's it Is the difference between The successor and the followers

  • its answer to apples ipod touch, its a media player

  • No it's a PMP like the ipod but smaller than the 7 inch tablets

  • Correct me if im wrong. Ipod Touch over Galaxy Player 70 Plus Latest iOS over yesteryear Android 2.3 Everything in dimension (and weight) Comes with 8GB storage capacity 640 x 960 pixels (326 ppi) Galaxy Player 70 Plus over Ipod Touch Micro SD card slot Micro USB slot 5 MP camera 1 GHz dual core CPU Can anyone suggest which is better to me? I just want to play games and watch video.

  • Well said SGS 2 LTE for me even faster.

  • No

  • Iphone user :)) Complaining about built quality of samsung phone ... any other complains while I have double the internet speed ? Anyway, stick to your better products and keep the comments for you. I have a SGS2 with the stupid plastic back cover that's very easy to remove, but I never had any issues of any kind, so ... chill while my better stupid phone does anything faster than yours ;)

  • very good!

  • ..is this a phone??

  • Have bought many samsung phones but not satisfied with any of them including galaxy fit, galaxy s. Built in quality of samsung phones are very very very very poor. Especially the back cover of the phones, it doesn't lock properly in the body. After using few month i found the back cover of the phones does not lock at all in the body. Even a cheaper phone has a better built in quality. If u think i am wrong check yourself the back cover of any samsung phone. It will come off soooo easyly.

  • Can anybody tell me that will this player ever be released in UK or i should buy the inferior 5.0?

  • Can anybody tell me that will this player ever be released in UK or i should buy the inferior 5.0?

  • this competes with ipod touch so there is no 3g, gprs or whatsoever...wifi only.

  • What to do with this handset?No data connection ops whatsoever!!....lol.

  • Its an mp3 player, no a phone

  • It's like apple ipod touch. which is made for gamming and music

  • nice but camera???2 mp!

  • No gprs, edge and 3g then what they are trying to put in the market???

  • this gadget support skype.? or fring.?

  • Yes,let this product get to shelves first. This fits in the Galaxy NOTE segment.

  • Lol... Cant understand what r they trying to sell by putting such a product forward, Its niether a complete tablet nor even a phone. Which segment of buyers are they tryin to hit when everyone today wants to get a complete gadget in his/her pocket. I think the real product will not be the same as described here... let it be on the shelves first

  • This is nothing special but I like it... If it gets ICS i'll buy it.

  • this is more like an ipod or an mp4 player! it's a galaxy s2 without the phone capabilities!

  • But does the iPod Touch have a dual-core processor or a 5MP camera? Nope it doesn't because Apple wanted to make it so thin that they couldn't put any good hardware into it. The SGP 70 Plus is the best android media player so far.

  • This is not a tablet or a phone. It's a PMP aka portable media player. Why you all so damn dumb? It has talk time because you can talk to your mom via wifi using skype or google talk. Did you learn anything today?

  • it's not a fon, it's a mini tablet..

  • what the hell will one do wif a fone wifout 3g? thats not ayoba

  • the sound of samsung through earphones is a crap. apple,especially ipod touch 4th generation is miles away from this plastic garbage bin

  • backward

  • no 3g what use?

  • Not bad

  • wow..........nice !!!

  • Tough year2012 for Samsung. Apple, Nokia and others will gets more business in Tablets and in business phones.

  • This is not a tablet or an Phone, it is an player with all function that has the phone,s2, you can surf, play , leasing music, you can us it like an remote for Samsung TV's, you can install IGO on it and use it like an GPS, you can do almost everything and yes if you have and old phone you can connect via Bluetooth and us it like an phone, it is very good for home use with wi-fi

  • I have also galaxy sII and works fantastic.but I'm waiting for galaxy sIII.

  • samsung sgh a877

  • just get a galaxy note then

  • But this Samsung has a dual core 1Ghz processor, iPod does not. Nor does it have flash support in the web browser. What the Samsung does not is very important....the prestige or the quality of an iPod touch. Besides I have a Samsung android phone at the moment. Does the same things as this thing as well. iPod Touch wins hands down anyway! :) Wouldnt mind one of these but I prefer a iPod Touch thanks! :)

  • Hi, I have been using Galaxy SII, and I found that I am really satisfied. And now I am looking for a larger screen such Galaxy Player 70 Plus since I like anytime browsing very much. Unfortunately, this new device comes with no GSM supporting. I would like to suggest the company to produce it with GSM supportable. I am sure it will become the most successful device among Galaxy family! :)

  • I'm using samsung galaxy s wi-fi 5in tablet for about 5 months. It's great, handy, managable and you can do anything you want to do with a big tablet and you can carry it in your pocket. This'is a upgrade of my device. I strongly advice you to try it. You'll be suprised.

  • @Gabi make photos, watch movies, play games etc.

  • This is supposed to be a competition for iPod touch. Thats it!

  • what is the purpose of this device? what can a person do with it???

  • See the Panasonic Eluga power dear. Amazing...

  • it is not a smartphone nor tablet. it is called player. and it is for games/music/movie lovers to listen/watch and downloads etc. but it can also useful for business. just keep a simple 2G/3G phone along with device with bluetooth or wifi connection to make this device very useful.

  • please think enough before posting a stupid opinion ,well of course the samsung galaxy note is way better than this it has a bigger screen and a gsm network come on use your mind this device is made for everyday use without a gsm network and for more affordable price pls F******* make up your mad .

  • it would never like the ipod touch ,because it is way better than the ipod touch ,how? well the screen size the ipod touch has a small screen of 3.5 inches display ,but the samsung galaxy player 70 has a very huge screen of 5.0 inches and it has a dual core processor the ipod touch does not have the dual core processor it only has a single core processor.it would never be like a crappy apple ipod touch NEVER.

  • for all those comparing this with ipod touch, this is much better than the ipod touch It has got a larger screen (5 inch) 16 or 32 gb internal memmory A 5mp camera unlike the vga camera in ipod touch it has got a dual core 1ghz processor and a better gpu than ipod touch It has got full flash support..it supports all kind of flash content in the browser It has a built in tv tuner It has much better media capabilities and has android os which means u get a large variety of games and apps.

  • look all the set r same in looking also same in processeor may be 1ghz or 1.2 ghz. they do it only for u. if dont like it dn another dn another. so same configure with different name. when u go to nokia last year they produce 3-4 high end smart phn. bt samy release atleast 36 smart phn.bcs of android it possible i think.

  • It's like an upgraded version of Samsung Galaxy 5.0. It's just like the Apple Ipod touch.

  • this is oozing with pure non-sense..

  • C'mon people! Use your brain, this is not a phone nor a tablet, this is just like an iPod Touch with bigger screen and CPU... Use your **ckin brain before post a comment

  • samsung are stupid! instead of updating their os, they would just release a new version of the old one. how's that for customer satisfaction!

  • @KencoNintendo.. This aint better than ipod touch 4g... IPOD is much thinner and with retina display... It beats ipod touch with respect 2 camera only otherwise it cant beat ipod...

  • now a days donkeys are also running in horse races

  • "This isn't a tablet or a smartphone; this device is used for listening to music only." Just like the IPOD Touch one can do anything that doesnt require GSM/3G/internet-access on-the-go. As for Internet-access in your home, you have superfast Wi-Fi. Its a complement to you smartphone - not a rival or replacement. Have one on your bedsidtable for WiFi-enabled websurfing and wathing videos/movies.

  • what is the price.......?

  • This isn't a tablet or a smartphone; this device is used for listening to music only.

  • I think samsung galaxy note is better than samsung payer.only tablet no way im prefere samsung note.

  • This is not a mobile phone it's a tablet, so it doesn't support GSM, no voice communication, no SMS, and no MMS it's just tablet

  • why Samsung announce 5 - 10 products per month? i just intent to buy a samsung galaxy note., then they announce for another product even i havent buy the galaxy note... so what is the latest phone of samsung product?? can anyone tell me???

  • It's not a phone OR a tablet? So what is it? Well, it's Samsung's answer to the iPod Touch and tbh the iPod is gonna have its work cut out with the likes of this. For those who want an Android iPod or aPod, then this is the one for you. Besides, Samsung has been making these for a couple of years now! :)

  • why do they always make the same phone over and over again, it's becoming so confusing

  • galaxy note is better than player

  • 70 hours of music player? WOW will kick apple iPod touch BIG time

  • i will bye???hahahah ok !

  • this samsung company was don't understand customer needs .....plz launch ur smart phones per year 3or 4 models only why becuase evevn local brands also launch per month 5to6 models same as u

  • Why is this a problem for u? I use 1 phone, with features I like, I dont get every Samsung phone... People are just trying to make something look bad, which is actually not bad at all.

  • "Neither phone nor decent tablet...This company is going down" Is Apple going down because of the 3.5 inch Ipod touch? The latter is also neither a phone or a "decent tablet".

  • Please can any body tell me why SAMSUNG every month at least released minimum 5-6 new phones???????

  • it is improved/updated version of Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 and also called SG Player VS Apple IPOD

  • H ha! How can I buy the Samsung product if they announce 5 to 10 products per month? No one spend 500 to 800 dollars to get the phone or tablet that doesn't know clearly how long is this phone in the latest model or latest feature? 5inch? so I have to buy tablet to call, because phone and table are nearly the same size. but tablet provide us more internet priority!

  • 800x480 on a 5" screen? You gotta be kidding me. My HD2 has 800x480 about 3 years ago, even if it's on a 4.3" screen.

  • thats why reading carefully is VERY important!!! read first b4 u comment. this is NOT a phone... its a PLAYER. and for u SAMSUNG, cant u think of other design!!! haist...

  • Try to understand the concept of product diversification (google it). Not each and every release can be "the new flagship" - and not each and every release must necessarilly be phone. Apple still makes good enough sales with the Ipod-concept. Is it so strange then if Samsung tries to start up a similar productline? There are people out there who just want a WiFi-enabled product for home-use only. This model is perfect for that.

  • this is a real joke.

  • Wifi hotspot? where is it gonna get internet connection to share?

  • Worst rating ever, everything below 5. iPod Touch is a way better purchase, with huge catalogue of superior games too as a bonus.

  • Is this a joke from Samsung?

  • Is this a joke from Samsung?

  • This dont have any GSM function. Its only a player with android OS.

  • You can find galaxy player 5.0 which is same like this with same minor differentness about 22500 rs. I have use galaxy player 5.0 you should buy an iPod touch 4th generation which is more affordable than galaxy player. It is not a tablet and not a pmp. It is n

  • I thought it was a tablet version of S2:-D Samsung really makes the same design for every phones mostly....equality may be.....B-)

  • It's not a GSM device...it will not work in Pakistan.

  • its not a phone, its like iPod

  • This one will fight with Apple's iPod. Smart Samsung.

  • is not out yet

  • This is not a phone, this work just like iPod touch, should everywhere in there world!!!

  • it will in any country becoz its not a phone. its just a player

  • talk time 7h... with not gsm suport =)))

  • it is not tablet,it is something like ipad touch but with bigger screen

  • can't call. If it come to cambodia i dont buy it.

  • anyone can confirm, will this work in Pakistan or not?

  • I love this baby when it comes out? Can I buy in Cambodia ?

  • It is Tablet, then why only 5 inch ?
