out of 10View score
The bad: Compared with other Samsung players, the S3 is anemic in the features department; touch-sensitive controls are not for everyone.
The bottom line: The Samsung S3 Slim MP3 player is a solid option for budget-minded users with an eye for design and an ear for audio.

Opinion:
The YP-S3 comes in a very nice little see though plastic case, which gives a very nice first impression. As the player comes in a assortment of colors, there is bound to be one which will please you.

It has a very nice smooth, sleek and shiny look.
There is only 1 button on the side of the player.
The button is used to switch the player ON/OFF as well as for LOCK/HOLD function.
