Samsung Galaxy S Players are just like the many other members of the Galaxy S line however they lack the Super AMOLED displays and cellular radios present in the others, opting for straight WiFi and unparalleled media streaming and sharing. The new Galaxy S player will be offered in both 4 and 5-inch Super Clear LCD displays.
