CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.7

out of 10

The good: Excellent sound quality; built-in Bluetooth; photo and video support; FM radio; a voice recorder; alarm clock; design is cool with a fun flip-out speaker for sharing tunes; comes with a pair of earbuds that fit comfortably and securely in the ear.

The bad: Small screen and a proprietary USB connection; pricier than most other flash MP3 players; lack of tactile controls may turn off some users; no dedicated volume buttons; videos must be in Samsung's proprietary format.

The bottom line: The Samsung S5 is an MP3 player with a fun interface and excellent sound quality; the screen is a bit small, but this player is still a great choice if you want to share your tunes at the drop of a dime.

Small size with built-in speaker

Apr 24, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: convenient, design, functions
Cons: charging
Opinion:
I like the design. It is small and compact. The sliding speaker unit moves smoothly. The included earbuds are perfectly fit to my ears. One thing I would like to ask for improvement is that the charging method. I wish I could us S5 while charging it. Except charging method, I love S5!
