Samsung YP-D1 Review

Samsung YP-D1 (1GB) Review

CNET Asia has posted a review for Samsung YP-D1 (1GB) on their site and give it an ‘Excellent rating, or 8.0 out of 10. They write

 

The good: Detailed sound; simple video conversion; good video playback time; camera function.

 

The bad: Occasional color banding in video; average audio playback time.

 

The bottom line: It’s a great improvement on the YP-T8, fully feature-packed, but there are still some kinks to be worked out.

At CNET.com, a preview for Samsung YP-D1 has been posted ‘At first glance, the Samsung YP-D1 looks strikingly like a cell phone. This is both unsurprising–the company produces plenty of mobiles–and a little misleading since making phone calls is one of the few things this flash-based MP3 player can’t do. What the YP-D1 can do is take still pictures with its built-in 2-megapixel camera, which happens to have a 4X zoom lens–not too shabby for an MP3 player. It also acts as a USB host, meaning you can use another camera and offload images directly to the YP-D1.’ The full review will be posted soon by CNET.com

 

HardwareZone has also taken a look at Samsung YP-D1 MP3 Player - ‘A meticulous glance through its specifications reveals that the YP-D1 has much more to offer than merely playing audio files and taking still images. Making GSM calls is definitely not possible but what you do get out of this little gem apart from its main functions are voice recording, digital photo album with slide show function, onboard speakers for jukebox playback, USB storage, video recording, FM radio and TV-output. Considering all these functions are available from a player of such diminutive dimensions, it wouldn’t be inappropriate to classify the Samsung YP-D1 as a portable media player at all.’
