Samsung YP-U6

The Samsung YP-U6 is an entry-level portable media player, released in late 2010. This player is designed to compete with the Apple iPod shuffle, as it features a slim design, voice feedback and a simple button layout on the bottom of the device.

This product is related to Samsung’s YP-Q3; a larger, more fully featured media player that’s similar to the iPod nano. The Samsung YP-U6 comes in both white-on-pink and black-on-black designs. The built-in screen provides users with track listings, and access to Samsung’s “Fitness Mode” application for monitoring calories while exercising. The manufacturer’s proprietary SoundAlive technology is also integrated, meaning song files are passed through a signal filter before being heard. Users can expect about 20 hours of audio playback from a single charge.
