than that. It allows you to view pictures, text,
videos and listen to FM radio.
The built-in Bluetooth wireless technology
turns your MP3 player into your own
personal network.
COLOUR LCD SCREEN DESIGN

LONGER PLAY TIME AND SHORTER
DOWNLOADING!
A fully charged battery can play up to 30
hours of music and 5 hours of video (when
using the earphones).

USB 2.0 capability, the player is much faster
than models with USB 1.1.

Your new MP3 player has built-in DNSe™
(Digital Natural Sound engine), Samsung’s
unique sound technology created to deliver
richer, deeper sound for an unbelievable
listening experience.
