Thread: Sony S200 Series

Just like Sony usually does, the series includes three editions of one and the same player, differing only in the volume of built-in memory. Each of the various receives its own alpha-numeric index, unique for every member of the line-up, I already broke down this topic in the S700 Series review. Hence, the S202 stands for 512 Mb onboard, the S203 for 1 Gb, and the S205 comes with 2 Gb inside.



Like we have already said, the player’s casing is made chiefly of metal, except for the plastic display framing and the swiveling switch. In terms of the shape, the casing of the S200 looks more like a 10 cm long tube (if you want numbers, then 96 mm), 1,5 cm thick with a screw nut tacked on it. The screw here is naturally the multifunctional switch.

The build quality is nothing we can complain about the smaller a casing gets, the sharper you feel its flaws. All details are set tightly to each other; gaps are very tiny and become visible only if you stare at them for a few seconds. The swiveling switch feels a tad spongy, but it is due to its design traits alone.
