8 10

Editorial note

The Philips SA1210 is an MP3 player that stands out for its lightness and compactness, weighing only 30 g and offering ideal dimensions for on-the-go use. Its 8-hour battery life during continuous playback is satisfactory, allowing for uninterrupted music enjoyment. Additionally, the audio quality is remarkable thanks to a wide frequency range of 30 to 18000 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 85 dB, ensuring an immersive listening experience. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of a touchscreen may make navigation less intuitive compared to more modern models. Furthermore, the 1 GB storage capacity may prove limited for users wishing to carry a large music library. The absence of built-in speakers requires the use of headphones or a headset, which can restrict the audio experience. Finally, although the battery life is decent, the fact that the product does not have a built-in charging function may lead to additional costs related to battery replacement. In terms of user experience, the Philips SA1210 features a backlit LCD screen and an ID3-tag function, making it easier to view titles. However, the limitations in terms of features, such as the lack of FM radio and built-in speakers, may disappoint some users. Despite these few flaws, the price-to-quality ratio remains competitive for an MP3 player of this audio quality.
