D uring the year 2007 Samsung have placed various YP-series music players on the market. And the in January 2007 introduced YP-K5 has already seen its successor; the YP-S5 multimedia player. The K5 was known as a light MP3 player with a so-called slider system and a touch screen. In our review about the K5 we called it ‘a very innovative MP3 player’. As always there were some issues that needed improvement such as the Samsung K5 not offering video play function. We will compare the two MP3 players in the following Samsung YP-S5 review as far as differences and similarities are concerned.

Samsung S5 Multimedia player - Design

The Samsung S5 multimedia player is available in a 2GB, 4GB and 8GB version. The version we have tested has an internal memory of 4GB at its disposal. The design has not changed much, it remained equally beautiful and it still is an innovative design. The slider function for activating the speakers works greatly and it also supports the multimedia player when placing it on a surface.

 

 

Samsung S5 review - User friendly menu

The menu of the Samsung YP-S5 is very user-friendly and nicely structured by means of animations that accompany every menu item. The background can be adjusted manually and one can even choose from his own pictures. The various menu items are: Music, Videos, Pictures, FM Radio, Datacasts, Prime Pack, File Browser, Bluetooth and Settings. It is easy to scroll through the menu using the touch-sensitive pads.
