After extensive research, I then finally decided on the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.2, which I would like to confine myself in the following review it to describe his qualities as a mp3 player, as I fotografiern neither with the part, still playing with it, e-mails Manage (proved by the fact that the device does not allow mobile Internet but depends on WLAN is difficult anyway) or would like to surf the Internet.
With MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC, FLAC player will play all major audio formats, depending on the format used ranging from about 6 GB which should be used by the memory 8 GB for about 25 albums. Not just a lot, since the Galaxy S WiFi 4.2, however easily get along with memory cards up to 32GB, and it reads out thanks to the 1GHz processor within about 40 seconds, fit about 140 albums plus. the 25 onto the device. Which is recommends the music store just to MicroSD, since at least the current software (Gingerbread 2.3.7) problems has to switch between device memory and MicroSD. It comes when you save music files in the internal memory, when playing the songs at irregular intervals dropouts.
The 140 albums can be either pulled over WLAN from the cloud to the device, what about last night or even via the USB 2.0 connection, which must be created according to taste per artist and album manuel a folder here precisely, the dubbing of a complete album lasts (depending on the class of MicroSD, in my case, class 8) about a minute. This is therefore the Apple devices are not only user-friendly but also a lot much more quickly and thus a clear advantage.
A battery capacity of 40 hours for music reproduction is a purely academic value which vorausetzt that the device is turned on and then when the display and lower Lauststärke music reproduces without manually skips tracks, changed the album or anything else is done. Realistically, in normal use between 25 and 30 hours before the player for about 4 hours to the socket for charging must. These are both quite respectable values.
UPDATE from 13:10:13: Meanwhile, the battery lasts only about two and a half hours, a memory effect is excluded, the device has been fully discharged, respectively before being reloaded, and removed the battery capacity of said successive 25 hours after each load to about three hours each has. Since the battery capacity decreases sukzzesive, the problem may not be due to any app that runs in the background and energy attracts especially since I only at the very beginning two players (see Sound) to have loaded Gera and to weaken the battery until a few weeks later began. According to Samsung Hotline is the battery a consumable item that is not covered by warranty. My objection that one can not speak of wear but rather by defect at 6 weeks of use and as many charge cycles well, fell on deaf ears.
The built-in digital FM radio receiver "shines" with moderate reception but still offers the possibility of the frequencies of various favorite stations to save.
Now the most important point for an MP3 player the sound, and this comes with all due respect told the Standart player from Samsung quite underpowered therefore, unfortunately, this also changes only slightly when going on for expensive money other players as Player Pro Music or Poweramp the device loads, which significantly refurbish the sound of other devices. The rather below-average sound should be alaso large part due to the built-in sound chip.
What about the sound of the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 however falls only in direct comparison with other players in this price range to know quite convincing with plenty of clean, powerful sound.
This applies of course only for use with headphones, against the installed Mini watering boxes, no herb is then finally grown.
Another shortcoming of the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 is the lock screen mode, the device falls into welchend depending on the setting, sooner or later, for reasons of battery saving and for safety reasons, the unit must be unlocked each time anew when you switch eg title or artist (of House out can be stopped on the lock screen, only the current track and play again) or will use the equalizer etc. Where Sichherheitsgründe only advanced because the players though really has the possibility that it has to be unlocked by pattern or code number etc., but in any case, should be abandoned in numerical code or unlock pattern, must be unlocked by finger wiping.
Depending aufgespieltem Player this can be but partially circumvent. For example, "Player Pro Music" also offers the possibility in the lock screen mode at least skip tracks.
And yes, the player of Apple and Sony require a Finngerwischen to unlock, but the unlock work here reliable, the Samsung needs every now and then a few attempts, and felt even faster.
Otherwise, the use of the device for Androidneulinge is simple and intuitive. Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.2 features a disconnectable Bluetoth 3.0 port, so it can easily be coupled with Bluetooth enabled headsets and car radios.
CONCLUSION: Weak Sound (where also the uploading of another playback program does not change) even more weaknesses in the operation and after a short time greatly waning battery and an absolutely weak customer service. Hence my recommendation, better take a few euros more into their own hands and buy a player on another manufacturer. I'm at least followed my recommendation and bought myself an iPod Touch fourth generation of Apple but also of the four-year-old Sony my wife is far superior to the Samsung in all the above points.
