Score 10.0/10

+ I had a samsung before it got stolen and ended up buying an mp3 player from another brand. Had huge problems with my last one so when doing research for my new one I rememebered how good my last samsung mp3 player was so I'm gald to have reverted back to a reliable brand.
You can record the radio program that you are tuned into which is not a feature on any other mp3 players that I have bought....it's only a feature of samsung so glad to have that function back.
Because my last mp3 player (from another brand) continually broke and couldn't get it fixed I'm happy to see that, although they have a standard one year warranty, there are contact details and ways to get it repaired after the warranty has run out. Essential service for a product.

- The mouse pad/ control buttons take a while to get used to and you often press the wrong selection because of this but it shouldn't stop you from buying this.

+ Sounds very good with decent head phones.
It looks very stylish and has a fantastic colour screen.

- Touch pad very sensitive but quite easy to use if your fingers are small.
Battery life is average in my opinion and not as good a specified.

Expert reviews for Samsung YP-Q1 JEB 16GB

TechRadar expert review

For a manufacturer which has only been in the MP3 music playing game for around a year, Samsung has so far impressed with its PMP efforts.The Samsung YP-Q1 is the company's latest offering and continues to show Samsung as a company who just might take, albeit small bites, out of Apple's world domination.Continuing the YP range, the Q1 is a successor to both the YP-P2 and YP-T10. Forgoing the touchscreen elegance of the YP-P2, and updating the looks of the YP-P2, the Q1 is a sleek player.Immediately, the PMP looks like it has been designed by the same folks that created Samsung's U700 m…
