Philips GoGear SA3245 4GB MP3/MP4 Video Players

The Philips GoGear SA3245 Flash Audio, Video Player was manufactured aiming to produce the best of audio and video quality in a much reasonable cost. The following review of this product will show you how far the product has achieved the goal and some of its other interesting features.

Design:

The design of this Latest MP4 Player is extremely simple looking. It has a black glossy finish with just a click wheel and a repeat button. Though the player has a small 1.8″ LCD colour screen, it does a decent job. This product comes in the dimension of (HxWxD) 45×80x10.4mm and weighs just 0.049kg.

Memory:

Philips GoGear SA3245 Portable MP3 Player has an internal flash memory of 4GB which can hold up to 900 tracks. This is a decent memory storage capacity and is just more than enough if you are focused basically in listening to audio tracks.

Features:

This MP4 player is well-equipped with a microphone and the FM radio is a real boon. You can pre-set up to 20 music stations in your radio settings. The major feature of this product is that you can enjoy MP3 and WMA playback at the same time. You can make voice recordings directly into the WAV via the built-in microphone.

Audio:
It supports the MP3 and WMA files. This Philips MP4 player also has support for the ID3 tags.
The audio quality of the MP4 player can be just acceptable. But this player produces better results when used with third party head sets rather than using the one that is supplied along with the player. SA3245 is equalizer customizable and you can set up to seven settings such as Full sound, funk, hip hop, jazz, rock, techno and classical.

Video:
The video quality can be said as decent for a MP4 player. The video files can be enjoyed at a resolution of 220×176 pixels. The Philips media conversion is used for the video file and music conversion.

Image playback:
Photo playback has become one of the most essential features that are expected in the MP4 players and Philips GoGear SA3245 MP4 player does not disappoint us. It does support the playback of the images of the JPEG format. The slide show facility is also available.

Battery:

SA3245 provides with a great battery life of about 20 hours of audio or 4 hours of video which is much higher than the life provided by the other MP3 players.

Verdict:

The overall performance of the MP4 player can be rated as good but cannot be said as excellent. The Philips GoGear SA3245 4GB MP3/MP4 Video Player is a reasonably priced easy to use device.
