First of all, we will begin with the size, at W x D x H. 11 x 25.4 x 80 mm with a weight of just 22.8g it can squeeze into the smallest of pockets with ease - perfect for people on the move who don't like to carry around big players. It operates on the USB 2.0 standard which means less frustration when waiting hours for songs to be transferred!.
The Samsung YP-U3 1GB has a battery life of up to 15 hours which is absolutely amazing compared to older mp3 players which operated on AAA size batteries which lasted for roughly 3-4 hours and needing fresh batteries. For a player of its size, it can hold a fantastic 500 songs in mp3 format and of course almost double in wma format.
Cosmetically, it is very attractive and user friendly, with touch sensitive buttons and colour screen with built in equalizer it's something you'll surely want to look at for hours. The USB connector is cleverly hidden away to prevent from damage and reveals itself from the touch of a button! It has a built in FM radio and voice recorder function also.
To conclude, in my opinion, the Samsung YP-U3 is a fantastic overall mp3 player with a great array of features and quality at an amazing price. I would say that cost wise it fits into the budget category, meaning that it can prove its reliability to the world at a fraction of the cost of its bigger brothers!
