Tech Review – The ASUS ZENFONE 7 PRO. #ASUS #Zenfone7Pro

I have multiple smartphones here in for review and this one out of the bunch is the beast of the lot, when it comes to size and weight and this is not a bad thing either, with light phones you think you may have lost them from time to time but you will certainly know and feel this in any pocket and that is down to the build quality too of the device..

I have been a big fan of big devices for some time now but having tried this I do miss the screen estate here which is great for media and more, when it comes to the camera though this is an excellent camera as you will see in the videos and images taken below and to top it off the cool flip up camera which everyone I have shown loves and think its cool and James Bondish but they then ask is it a gimmick, well the answer is no when you think about it because you can get great front facing images and videos traditional phones cant offer via their holepunch or pill type front facing cameras.

We are not going to bore you with specs because we all know them now and you can read them all here as covered in the first look at the device..

This phone is fast and an excellent device for multitasking and to top it off it has excellent battery life to boot which today is still a thorn in the side for some users, power users like me like to see a phone last a day at least and this easily does this, lacking wireless charging was a caveat for me but it does support fast charging at 30W, there has been discussions over fast charging and how it can effect your battery life but you can charge normally if you will, with 5000 mAh on this you will be fine. The screen which has a 90hz refresh rate on this device is excellent at any angle and great for media consumption and more combined with dual speakers given the top speaker does not perform as well as the bottom firing speaker but overall a very passable experience and not much to complain about, for me I use earbuds or headphones when using the device for media consumption and very rarely I would use it in a stand for example beside my bed but overall it does well..

Key attributes to the USP of this device is its power, screen size and camera potential especially for creators who want more from their camera, this set up is new and we have seen a sea of phones with pop up cameras which are quite lame compared to this however this brings up another topic of longevity and how long will this camera last and will dust and dirt get into it which is valid but take care of your device and it will last and just be extra careful after all you are spending you hard earned money on this and not me and it is an easy device to recommend if you want something different but has the prowess of more expensive devices coming in a couple of  hundred euro cheaper.

Using this device in my capacity over the last while has proven it is a worthy device for anything you throw at it and with the amount of work I do on mobiles that can be challenging at times for some phones but with this it was a breeze. With the Snapdragon 865+  you get speed, If you are worried about the camera it is good for some 200,000 flips which even for the most demanding should last them a couple of years..

BUY IN DID ELECTRIC 799…

 

 

 

Tech Review – The TimeKettle MK2 translator earbuds. #TimeKettle #TWS #Tech #Travel

Every once in a while a product crosses my desk that I just love and this is one of them and that is a rare thing for me and if you are a person that travels this simply is a must have piece of technology in your pocket, OK one could argue there is standalone translators out there and you can use you voice assistants and so on but these do a great job plus they sound dam good too so they are a 2-in-one product that just delivers.

When to company contacted me I was a bit dubious however once I gave these a test run I was more than impressed and these for the two reasons outlined above they work quite well and they deliver on sound yet they are on the large size and one might feel they are too big you can forgive it and they are also light they will not fall out of your ears and you will forget they are there, I do wish they came in different colours and perhaps the next model will be smaller but overall they are a worthy investment particularly for those who travel and is learning a language.

The build quality here is fine although just like your typical earbud and the build is just plastic but they are durable, they are light, bigger than conventional earbuds but overall fine and you will forget they are there after a few minutes use.

Controls are minimal when it comes to use but the basics are there you have to remember they are not a music focussed product too you can skip tracks, play and pause and you can also access your voice assistant and the controls work really well due to their size we go through all this in the hands on review below and all the functions on offer they are really intuitive and I love the idea. When it comes to using as a traditional pair of true wireless these are actually good, they are loud well balanced and I would certainly use them on a daily basis and if travelling these would certainly be in my tech bag without a doubt.

When it comes to the translation this is where they do the job they aim to do and they can be used in several ways to use the translation functions and all is simple to do and no real tech know how to get going and you will need your smartphone to implement the functions. Check out the options you have and the detailed video review below for more.

Tech Review – KIKR S1 (2-in-1 Phone/Tablet stand with Dual 10W Wireless Chargers) #KIKR #Tech

Wireless charging is something everyone should adopt it is more convenient and for two other reasons, it saves you on cables and saves your port as these are always things to go bust and meaning you have to spend on more later on. This new product though solves both and can charge two devices at once and it is also compact and does not take up much room either and ideal for your bedside locker or just to have it beside you in your office set-up.

It has a foldable One-Piece Integrated Design compact and portable, you can put S1 in your pocket and take it anywhere so it is not confined to use at home either and it is a great solution and saves you carrying cables too and loosing them as often the case we tend to forget our chargers on trips etc..

Another great feature here it is not a fixed product, most wireless chargers are fixed this can be adjusted to suit an angle you prefer this applies to the phone part not the base which can be used to charge your phone too and earbuds etc so there is some flexibility here and I like how you can angle the unit and height. This is a well built product with a good design and a must have for those whom have adopted wireless charging.On a side note this can also be a very useful product for media consumption too and is handy again for your bedside locker or to have sat beside your PC at home or in the office and gives you the option to have social media,emails etc on the screen at hand saving you tabs on your PC and so on. Check out the video below for the full tour and review.

With the current situation around the world keeping things clean is imperative for everyone and that means everything to be on the safe side and this also includes your tech and one thing for sure your phone is not the cleanest item in your possession along with other tech like earbuds and so on this new gadget though can help you out with more than just your tech and basically anything that will fit into the compartment size on offer.

You have two stages of cleaning here which is a rapid clean or intense clean and there is an indicator light up top to show you which mode you are in you easily switch modes by pressing the button up on top and just leave it sit there and do its job.
