Small and modern the Samsung YP-T10 is the corporate’s comply with up its it T9 mannequin final yr and the brand new participant is available in quite a lot of sizes together with a 2GB, 4GB and 8GB variations, however can it give you a good different to Apple’s iPod nano and Inventive’s Zen? We get listening to search out out.
Get handed the small dimension and the vary of colors together with Midnight Black, Mystic Purple, Maple Purple, Lime Yellow and White Cloud and also you get a 2-inch color LCD show (the identical dimension because the iPod nano) the supply of 30 hours of music and 4 hours of film from a single cost.
If that wasn’t sufficient you may additionally get Bluetooth 2.0 compatibility to hook up with a set of wi-fi headphones and there is additionally a radio on board with presets so you possibly can take heed to different music as soon as you get tired of your individual assortment of tunes.
The interface, which has been given an overhaul over the earlier mannequin, is extremely straightforward and the menus are actually easy to make use of.
These trying to personalise their T10 additional may even selected three completely different person show codecs, every with three distinctive graphic equalisers and interfaces when the music is on (properly really every has 5 selections of show and for 2 of the person menu kinds, these 5 are the identical nevertheless it’s nonetheless wow) and we particularly appreciated the cartoon interface that was extra MTV moderately than boring menu interface that you simply seen variants of on different gamers.
Not like the iPod on the subject of getting music on the gadget once more all the pieces may be very easy. The interface together with your pc for downloads is very easy though whenever you open two home windows to handle this, one window is smaller than the opposite and you’ll’t increase it to see additional data.

So what is the catch? Properly I discovered the earphones that got here within the field had been uncomfortable (I do have small ears although) and after an hours viewing the display screen could not get the wallpaper again till I switched it off and again on once more.
Moreover the keypad may be very delicate and as it’s contact delicate, it may possibly imply you progress by way of menus to go to areas you do not need to earlier than you realize it. It is an issue that impacts the corporate’s telephones and it appears right here to.
As for the bodily dimension, we discovered the 2GB mannequin we reviewed to be ample nevertheless it’s not the mannequin you need to go for. These in search of the on the go film expertise, 2GB holds only one film and about 300 songs.
As for the Bluetooth connectivity, once more just like the interface and just about the entire participant it was extremely straightforward to you with the pairing course of easy to do. Sound over Bluetooth was comparable in efficiency to listening to the music by way of a wired connection and on our check tracks; Scouting for Ladies and a variety of Christmas Songs (properly it’s December) plus Amy Winehouse.
As for the sound, it was superb, with all our tracks, admittedly primarily pop tracks performing properly.
Our fast take
Total the Samsung YP-T10 provides a pleasant different to the Apple iPod nano and the Inventive Zen.
Like for just like the Inventive Zen continues to be the higher participant with its larger display screen and now as not too long ago introduced right here on Pocket-lint larger reminiscence (as much as 32GB). Nonetheless as an enchancment to the T9 and in comparison with the Apple nano, this can be a nice little MP3 participant and comes extremely advisable.
