Excellent player, good sound and clear screen
Great little mp3 player. Very easy to use and great sound with Bluetooth. Interface is dead easy to use and looks good particularly the ability to alter text size. Search works well and making a playlist is a doddle. I have a 64 go card in the so card slot and loads very quickly. Do bear in mind the format on the card has to be FAT 32 and although it’s a usb c port it is only running at usb2 speed. No problems with that though. Haven’t tried any video on it yet but will update when I have. The screen is excellent along with various brightness controls and it had good sound enhancements. This player is vey good, in my opinion.

Good enough - Android phone without the phone
Wanted a cheap player specifically for playing stored music from subscription services - I use YouTube Music and playing Greatest Hits Radio. (Our older BT-enabled radio doesn't switch between phones so it seemed like a good idea to have a player dedicated). Also wanted a headphone socket for background music when performing at gigs, the USB-C adapters I've used don't seem reliable.Set-up was typical Android start-up, just a bit slow due to the low power chip. Spent a little time ditching apps I don't use.The only issue I had with the interface, which doesn't have a back or switch app button, is that the default display was too small to complete the sign-on to Greatest Hits music. Switching the settings option to smallest display font gave enough screen size to get the submit button on the screen.It takes a little while to start up to get playing. There were also some pops through the 3.5mm output when starting up the app. Adding a card for memory was easy - I've configured it as phone memory to ensure that streaming services have access to it for storage. YouTube Music happily downloaded.The Android is very cut down - which is a good thing, my only concern is that 9.0 is quite back-level so might become unsupported. While you can use old apps, sometimes the servers eventually won't support them.Sound quality through Bluetooth and 3.5mm is good, doesn't seem to have the annoying level protection that Android usually forces on you.So far, doing what I expected it would do as well as I expected, the 3.5mm output being the big winner over just using my phone. Battery life is fairly short, 10% in 30 minutes - at least you can plug it in while playing.Happy enough.Update: it is a bit flakey - YouTube Music crashes occasionally and it got upset about stored music, throwing away downloads. Greatest Hits Radio dies on occasion. Still adequate.

Amazing!
This thing is amazing. It's actually a tiny tablet running full Android 9. It's like the size of a packet of cigarettes (but thinner). The display is 240dpi, but it's clear and bright.When first setting-up, tap the top left, top right, bottom right, and bottom left areas of the screen to avoid having to sign into Google Services.There's only one navigation button (and this wasn't explained in the manual) but navigation is as follows:One press = backTwo quick presses = homeLong press = recent appsMine had two screen protectors layered onto it which I hadn't realised at first. So, if the screen doesn't feel very responsive, take them off.I used Chrome to download the Vivaldi browser, then installed the Droidify app store. I later hid the Chrome app, but didn't disable it completely as many apps won't work without Chrome's Android Web Service.I've installed most of the apps I wanted on the device. I found that installing really old versions of apps via Aptoide, then updating to the latest version via the Aurora store worked best.I uninstalled the HiBy Music app due to privacy concerns. I'm using the Musicolet app to play files (as this doesn't collect user data).I'm also using Smart Launcher as my default home app.I can listen to digital radio while on the go, using the Transistor app from the Droidify store, and using my mobile phone's data via Bluetooth tethering.I've barely had to take my main phone out of my bag when travelling, with this in my coat pocket.There's a tiny pinhole microphone which could feasibly allow you to make calls via WhatsApp. I've not tried, but the microphone works well with Shazam. I can access my WhatsApp text chats via the Beeper app.This is destined to become a cult item. Just buy one!

Poor battery
I bought this mp3 player for my youngest after buying my eldest a similar product on Amazon.It's a great product with everything I needed it for however the battery life on this mp3 is absolutely terrible compared to my eldest which ofcourse results in big arguments between the 2!Would not buy again based purely on battery life being rubbish.
