Philips GoGear SA3125

Features
The SA3125 is equipped with all forms of media playback. But the darn player takes a good 6-7 seconds to start up and you need to keep the power key pressed for almost 5 seconds plus for the device to shut down. The integrated FM radio allows you to save 10 presets, there’s a voice recorder for voice memos, a video player that plays SMV playback but you are going to have to use the converter software that Philips provides with the package to convert videos. Now don’t expect great picture quality, but I’ll simply say it’s not bad at all either.

 

You can also view your JPEGS on the player but again you will of course, need to convert your hi-res images down to an acceptable resolution to optimize it for viewing on the player. You can also simply drag and drop your images in to the ‘Photo’ folder but I have to warn you, if they aren’t converted you’re going to have some really odd looking images with some pretty distorted looking faces (it is good for a laugh though).

And of course the main feature is the music player but it has no features that make it any more attractive than the SA1355 . The SA1355, that doesn’t even have a color display and is half the size, actually has a few features that are lacking in this player. Quite relevant features too, like a manual EQ setting so you can adjust the levels to your preference. It does have 6 presets though. There’s also an absence of an FM recorder and a loop function. But on the plus side, the firmware is upgradeable.
