The YP-U4 is the latest cut-price miniature MP3 player from Samsung. Combining sleek good looks, 4GB of storage, plug-and-play functionality and an in...

Great sound quality for the asking price, inbuilt FM radio, attractive design, drag-and-drop

User interface could be a lot better, poorly designed USB plug

The YP-U4 is an excellent MP3 player that packs in plenty of cool features for the asking price. While it fails to reach the lofty heights set by its YP-U3 predecessor, it remains a solid offering that won't disappoint the average music fan.

Samsung YP-U4

 

Codenamed 'Litmus', is Samsung's YP-U4 mp3 player the perfect stocking filler this Christmas?

As with all recent Samsung players you can copy files across directly using drag-and-drop or sync with Windows Media Player 11, making the bundled Samsung Media Studio application a little superfluous.

Samsung YP-U4 review

 

It's got good looks, but this Samsung struggles against its peers in terms of detail

Looks good ; good price

Fiddly controls ; lacks detail ; lightweight sound

It looks rather snazzy from the outside but we’re a little underwhelmed by sound quality and usability

I like your old stuff better than your new stuff.

Great sound quality for the asking price, inbuilt FM radio, attractive design, drag-and-drop

User interface could be a lot better, poorly designed USB plug

Small and Mighty

 

This MP3 is a little gem. It's very lightweight with a bright and clear screen. Songs can be transferred easily just through windows or the program provided. It does shuffle play and has a good volume on it. Perfect fit in your hand. It is a "touch"...

Samsung YP-U4 JQ 2GB

 

The sound quality is excellent. Stores a lot of tracks.

No clip on the back to attach to clothing. Buttons are very sensitive.
