Archos 2 8GB mp3 player (EM184RB)
8 GB mp3 (+ sort of mp4) player from 2009. It received mixed reviews ( https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/archos-2-8gb, https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/archos/48946/archos-2-8gb-review) I do agree that controls are not intuitive (though for practical reasons I still would prefer it over touch screen from Archos Vision 3cam) and 10 hours of playback time are not impressive, I wouldn't be picky about sound quality here.
Glossy plastic front can catch scratches with time.
Metal back seems easy to remove without making permanent damage.
Surprisingly LiIon cell looks to be still in a good condition.
RK2602A SoC - one of first popular RockChip devices.
Hynix H27UCG8VFMTR 8GB NAND, MLC, 4 kB page size, 48 nm.
AR1010 FM radio tuner. It DOES NOT look like a TEA5767 clone - it has 18 registers and features volume control.
