Samsung S5600 (also known as Samsung Preston or Samsung Player Star) was announced in March 2009 and released in June 2009 as part of a range of touch-screen phones being released by Samsung.
The phone has a 2.8 inches (7.1 cm) (240 x 320 pixels) QVGA full-touch screen, and OS TouchWiz User Interface and "Gesture Lock" feature. A 3.2 megapixel camera, music recognition via the use of Shazam's "Find Music" service, and multi-codec support including H.263, MPEG4 (mp4), and WMV.

Language support
The phone was the first phone to support the Welsh Language and it followed an earlier experiment by the Samsung company who released a phone that supported the Irish language. The phone has a Welsh menu and a predictive text facility that calls on a database of 44,000 words in Welsh. The phone was offered just in Orange shops in Wales in 2009.
