We hope you wear baggy pants, because you're going to want big pockets to carry Samsung's giant new jukebox. The Galaxy Player 5.8 is dominated by its namesake 5.8-inch, 960 x 540 LCD -- a screen that makes the 4.8-inch AMOLED on the closely related Galaxy S III look downright modest by comparison. Android 4.0 and the latest generation of TouchWiz
make their first appearances in a Samsung media player here, with the
spin naturally on books and movies instead of the tasks you'd associate
with a smartphone. You're otherwise looking at the kind of media player
you'd expect in 2012: there's either 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage, a
microSD slot, a front VGA camera for those face-to-face sessions and a
huge 2,500mAh battery to compensate for the display. We're still waiting
on a few details, such as the exact processor and the Galaxy Player
5.8's launch schedule, although the announcement's timing suggests we
may get a peek at this behemoth when IFA 2012 kicks off later this week. In the meantime, we'd advise against buying a pair of skinny jeans.
