Great sound quality. Nice interface. Slick design. Touch sensitive controls better than most.
The editors didn't like
Fingerprints easily seen on touchpad
No video playback
Mic and/or linein recording ability would be nice
No video capabilities. No voice or radio recorder. Smudgy surface. Player cant be used while charging. Buttons are a bit too easy to activate accidentally.
Bundled headphones not as good as the K5’s
Headphone jack located on the bottom of the player
Can’t create playlists on the fly
Touch-sensitive controls arent for everyone
Light on features
Music-playback support
Wont work with Macs
You cant use the K3 with a Mac or for simple data storage. Touch-sensitive controls can be challenging to use. It has no on-device playlisting features and limited file-format support. Also
It has no video or recording features.
Few features. Design is obviously derivative. Transfer software is subpar
And unfriendly. Slow connection makes for long transfers.
Abstract: A recent report stated that teens no longer find a new car to be the best way to portray their personality, but instead the shift has moved towards their cell phones and other electronic gadgets. Cell phones, MP3 players and other fun electronics used ...

The Samsung YP-K3 has the right style, sound quality, and price to compete with the iPod Nano, but make sure youre comfortable with its touch-sensitive controls. ...
Abstract: The Samsung K3 is a sleek, slim, and stylish flash player that fares better as a trendy accessory to slip into tight pockets than as a workout companion to throw into a gym bag. On its own, the player is relatively capable, albeit stripped down and no...

Overall, I think Samsung has a solid MP3 player on their hands with the K3. It's very thin profile allows it to be tucked away virtually anywhere. With a few different colours and memory size's available, it's guaranteed to hopefully find a ni...
Abstract: Introduction If youre looking for a little black MP3 player from Samsung, you can choose from small and sleek or small and crammed with features. The YP-K3 is a shiny black slice of style that makes the iPod nano look drab, and it even has an FM radi...

It is easier to describe what the YP-K3 isnt, instead of what it is. It isnt the Samsung YP-T9, which was a bit smaller, cooler looking, and packed more features, including voice recording. It isnt the YP-K5, which had attached speakers and a grea...
Abstract: Samsung has a knack for making products impossibly thin. This is apparent with a large number of their innovative cell phones. However, it wasnt long before they would do the same with their digital audio players. Considered one of the most eye-catch...

Abstract: I can imagine there are some first-gen iPod Nano owners shouting “it’s a copy!” at the screen right now, and I know why. Samsung’s K3 has the same mixture of sleek black and chrome, the same waifish profile and the same light weigh...

When we reviewed the Samsung K5 a few months ago, we were impressed by the music players long battery life, good sound quality, and unique (although somewhat gimmicky) slide-out speaker, which essentially made the K5 the worlds smallest boom box. Wit...
