The display is clear, bright, sharp and evenly lit. Philips has included a 2.8″ QVGA display on the device making it great for playing videos. The GoGear comes with a set of ‘in-ear’ headphones, which are impressive and are capable of delivering quite a punch, albeit to your eardrums! They come with 3 various sized cushions, either one should be suitable for your respective ear holes. There was nothing innovative about the way the device/menus work which left me quite disappointed at it was the ‘same old menus’ in a ‘new device’. The icons include music, videos, pictures, radio, recordings, folders, settings and last played. The main screen has 8 icons that you can easily work through with the 5 point navigation control (4 way arrow selection and a central select/power/play/pause button). Once the device is up and running everything is laid out in an easily accessible format. The transfer/upload process was something I was impressed with, having previously owned a Zen vision:M, the GoGear was light years quicker! The device is plug and play compatible as I found, making transfer of music and videos very quick and easy. The directional pad and buttons to the right of the screen are small and somewhat fiddly.Īll the basic necessities are to found in the box. Not a huge downside but it just means the basic controls, including the volume control is on the wrong side for left handed customers. This is partly due to the fact that the controls seem to be positioned to close to the edge and also due to the weight itself. Although I would point out that the device is definitely designed for right handed use and cannot easily be used with just one hand. It sits quite comfortably in the palm of your hand with all of the important buttons laid out so that you can reach them easily with your thumb. The GoGear SA5285 takes the form of all standard MP3 players on the market today.
These controls take up quite a large amount of space for my liking below the 2’8″ display. Above and below this are the options and back buttons.
There’s a 5 way navigation control with play/pause button in the centre. On the front of the SA5385 you’ll find all the basic controls. The player feels very sturdy in the palm and not at all cheap.
The GoGear SA5385 is a fairly conventional looking MP3 player. Audio/Video formats: AAC, MP3, WMA, AVI, WMV, MOV.
#PHILIPS GOGEAR MP3 LOCKED UP SOFTWARE#
Software CDs (1 for audio player & 1 for video player).Philips market the GoGear MP3 player as ‘the very best in audio and video playback’ – it certainly packs a useful punch with an array of features which include 8GB internal memory, a 2.8” QVGA LCD colour display, a SuperScroll™ function which claims ‘to find what you want quickly and simply’, MP3, WMA and AAC compatibility as well as an in-built FM radio, WMV video playback, a built-in microphone and high definition headphones which are designed to minimise noise and direct the sound directly from the speaker to your ear drums! Philips have released a new MP3 player into the market, the Philips GoGear, but is it bold enough take the crown from Apple?
