Samsung YP-Z5 "nano killer" reviewed

 

We've been eagerly awaiting the first reactions to Samsung's 2GB and 4GB attempts at dethroning the iPod nano, and now Anything But iPod (whose name indicates no bias whatsoever on this topic) has taken the YP-Z5 through its paces (and also taken it...

Samsung yepp YP-Z5

 

The Samsung Yepp YP-Z5 is part of the opening salvo from the non-Apple high-capacity flash player camp. This is no iPod nano-killer, but it does have some advantages, including better battery life, a bigger screen, and better photo-viewing...

Very good battery life. Large screen. Good photo-viewing features. PlaysForSure-compatible

A bit thick. No on-the-fly playlists. No lossless support. No recording or FM tuner. Not UMS-compliant. Controls could be slightly more precise

The Z5 offers long battery life and good photo-viewing capabilities. It may be the first PlaysForSure-compatible 4GB flash player, but it's still no iPod nano-killer.

Samsung Yepp YP-Z5

 

The Samsung Yepp YP-Z5 may not be sleek, but it's not meek either.

Very good battery life. Large screen. Good photo-viewing features. PlaysForSure-compatible.

A bit thick. No on-the-fly playlists. No lossless support. No recording or FM tuner. Not UMS-compliant. Controls could be slightly more precise.

Performance

 

Samsung YP-Z5

The PlaysForSure Samsung YP-Z5 outputs clean and punchy sound and won't hog a bunch of real estate in your pocket. Its relatively large, bright color screen is great for viewing photos and navigating well-designed menus. We also like its solid aluminum...

The Samsung YP-Z5's touch pad, due to its varying degrees of sensitivity, can be difficult to deal with, especially when scrolling through menus. The Z5 also lacks some extra features, such as an FM tuner, audio recording, PIM functions, and on-the-go...

If you're looking for a tiny, well-built, color-screen MP3 player with excellent sound, the Samsung YP-Z5 is a great choice. Just make sure that you're comfortable with the touch-pad controller before you buy.

Samsung YP-Z5 MP3 Player

 

The latest MP3 player offering from Samsung is the YP-Z5. This player has a very stylish and modern design to it, paired up with a very large colour LCD display and many different memory sizes available to fit everyone's budget, and it looks to be a...

Small and sleek design ; Touch pad ; Large colour display ; Colour and easy to use navigation menus ; Picture viewer with zoom ability

No radio ; No line/mic recording ability ; Specialized USB plug on the player requires the Samsung cable

In the end, I found the Samsung YP-Z5 to be a great little MP3 and photo viewer. The design and overall operation is awesome. Offering many memory capacities available at prices that don't break the bank, it's definitely a recommended player for just...

Samsung YP-Z5 1GB Audio/Photo Player

 

Samsung has been in the media player business as long as most companies. Along the way they've made some great products and some not so great products. Today we are looking at the YP-Z5 Digital Media Player. This unit has a color screen and can...

Quality metal construction ; Clear, easy to read LCD ; Displays your photos ; Easy to use & good controls

Maximum functionality available under Windows XP SP1 or higher only

The YP-Z5 is a great MP3 player. Priced at $169 CDN for the 1GB unit and all the way up to $279 CDN for the 4GB unit puts it into the same price range as the iPod nano. The question is do you want to have iTunes installed or WMP10? At least with the...

Samsung YP-Z5 Review

 

TheYP-Z5 is Samsung's new line of flash based MP3 players reaching microdrive-sized storage of 2GB and 4GB capacities. Samsung decided to go head to head with Apple, pricing the YP-Z5 along side the iPod Nano at $200 and $250 respectively.

Expert Review

 

This is the closest you'll get to an iPod killer. Its features are well implemented and designed and the end result is a fantastic MP3 player that perhaps just falls short due to the moody controls. A definite winner in our books.

Small, thin and lightweight, User Interface, Drop and Drag music transfer, Battery life

Touchpad has some issues, Screen could be clearer, Lacks some other features (Radio, Recording etc.)
