Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond

By Nate Lanxon

This could very well be the best Samsung MP3 player to date. Not only is it remarkably affordable at £99 for 16GB, but with support for lossless FLAC audio, BBC iPlayer, FM radio, drag-and-drop file management and a cracking little screen, it's going ...

Design ; screen quality ; FLAC support ; BBC iPlayer support

No gapless playback ; control pad too sensitive ; no WAV or AAC support ; no Bluetooth

This could be the best Samsung MP3 player to date. Not only is it remarkably affordable at £99 for 16GB, but support for lossless FLAC audio, BBC iPlayer, FM radio, drag and drop file management and a cracking little screen, means it's going on our ...

It was a year ago to the month that we reviewed the Samsung YP-P2, a great little touchscreen MP3 and video player from Samsung, which competed with the iPod touch. Following it up is Samsung's latest and greatest player, the new YP-Q1. Yes, this...

Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond MP3 player

By Chris Hall

An appealing Apple alternative?

iPlayer support, good sound quality, bundled headphones aren't that bad

Controls a little fiddly, screen not the best for video

Control can be a little fiddly but you do get used to it, but with good audio quality and iPlayer support, the YP-Q1 is a comprehensive offering from Samsung

The box calls it the Q1 "Digital Media Player", the back calls it the YP-Q1, and it?'s also drifting around under the moniker of Diamond. Well first, you have to make sure you don?'t confuse the Samsung Q1 with the Samsung UMPC, also called the...

Samsung YP-Q1

By David Ramli

Stylish, intuitive menu, produces good sound, good screen

No drag-and-drop functionality, menu lags in certain folders, fingerprint magnet

The Samsung YP-Q1 (16GB) is an attractive and well-performing device that lacks the versatility needed to compete with the similarly priced iPod nano.

Samsung's YP-Q1 is a flash-based portable media player that offers plenty of features at a decent price. Unlike the Samsung YP-S3 this unit has a voice recorder. Samsung has included its DNSe (Digital Natural Sound Engine), and the effect is an...

Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond Review - MP3 Reviews

By Stuart Andrews

Is the YP-Q1 Diamond Samsung's finest media player yet?

True, we've seen some glamorous and innovative players, and Samsung is nothing if not a prolific manufacturer, but we've yet to see a Samsung player that could really capture and hold our attention - until now. As you might have noticed earlier...

Video Review: Samsung YP-Q1 MP3 player

By Rhiain Morgan

I'm not a UMPC!

Price; Screen quality

Fiddly touch pad

One of Samsung's best MP3 players to date and at a cracking price

With its devilish good looks it's hard not to swoon over Samsung's YP-Q1 Diamond (not the shoddy Q1 UMPC of old). You'll need to download the media player version from the site and then synch it up with Windows Media player but when that's done...

Samsung YP-Q1

The latest MP3 player from Samsung looks great, comes with a lot of features, and can play audio, video, picture, and text files without any problems. But if you have issues with touch-sensitive keys, then this player may not be your cup of tea.

Audio upscaling function ; Good audio output ; Built-in FM Tuner ; Subway Maps ; Easy to use Emodio software

Overly-sensitive touch keys ; Slow interface

The Q1 breathes new life to Samsung's MP3 range. Page: 1 2 3 [4]
