Samsung YP-Q1 MP3 player unboxed

I’ve reviewed a number of MP3/media players in the past and when I saw the Samsung Q1 I decided it was definitely a model I’d like to get my hands on. Looking a little more like a mobile phone than an MP3 player the Q1 is a slim and attractive package with a touch sensitive control area rather than conventional buttons and jog-wheels.

The YP-Q1 comes in 4, 8 and 16GB models and is available in both black and silver. Apart from it’s slim size the other striking thing about the Q1 is that it weighs a mere 61g!

The review of the Q1 is on it’s way so for now here’s the unboxing video for you:

Equipped with SAMSUNG’s DNSe™ 3.0 for unrivalled audio quality, while its diamond-shaped pulsating LED touchpad and spacious 2.4" colour display set new standards for accessibility and picture quality. The YP-Q1 lets you watch your favourite TV programmes on the move from the BBC such as Dragon’s Den, Top Gear & EastEnders when downloaded from BBC iPlayer. All handled with flawless precision in a slimline sleek SAMSUNG design.
