Samsung YP-S3 Just an S5 Without Speakers

samsung-s3.jpg

Following yesterday's YP-S2 spotting, Shinyshiny once again brings us news from the ongoing Samsung showcase event. This time it's the YP-S3 they've gotten their hands on, a new player which follows an old recipe.

The Samsung K5 was just replaced by the S5, so it's not surprising that the old K3 will be replaced too. The S3 is to the S5 what the K3 was to the K5 - essentially the same player but without the speaker. The S3 will come in capacities of 2, 4 and 8GB, and in a variety of colors. It's a simple player, just like the K3 was, so expect it to be fairly priced when it hits the stores. No official word yet on when that will be. Video after the jump.

Just buy a Samsung P2. The best Mp3 player ever made! :}

I'm so excited for this! I was starting to worry because the store I have a gift card to suddenly sold out of all the K3's. I hope the S3 hits stores sometime this summer, because I'll be getting one for sure. I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't look like it'll come in black, though (from what I saw in the video). Oh well... the other colors look sweet too.

They are stylish 5colored coming(White/Black/Green/Blue/Red).
it has 1.8"OLED LCD & touch pad, good battery life time(30hr).
It is supporting mp3/wma/ogg/txt/mp4 and voice recording, FM radio.
Comparing P2, S3 doesn't have bluetooth.
Especially, S3 has it's special cradle speaker (YA-SD210) which is optional accessary.
The price is not yet noticed.
I'll see it next month.

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
