New and improved
The Hue II's design is better than its predecessor's.
Catch it in blue
We like the Hue II's blue faceplate and music controls. The external display is rather small, however.
From behind
The Hue II has a large external speaker on its back side. The battery cover is replaceable, as well.
For music and photos
The Hue II's 3.5mm headset jack, memory card slot and camera shutter are located on its right spine.
Take control
The Hue II's controls are flush, but they have a comfortable feel.
The hue II has a solid feel in the hand, but the hinge is rather loose. Here it is with the gray faceplate.
On the go
The compact Hue II travels well.
No light
The Hue II's camera lacks a flash.
