Battery anxiety is still a thing given many smartphones today are now upping the battery capacity somewhat there still is that fear off running out of juice, There are many portable batteries on offer and we have reviewed many before but today we check out the Moshi 10000mAh battery pack.
Features
Fast-charging USB-A port (up to 12 W).
USB-C PD port (30 W, supports MacBook Pro charging.)
Charge 2 devices at once with Dynamic Power Sharing.
Ultra-slim profile (12.88 mm) with premium anodized aluminum.
Lithium-polymer cells: 10,000 mAh capacity, total output of 35 W.
Includes 2 charging cables (USB-C and USB-C to USB-A).
As far as design goes this is really nice and looks well,its not boring looking either,On the front we have a simple moshi logo and on the rear its just blank. The top half is where everything happens keeping things simple for all and how it should be.
We have a power on/off key LED lights for charge status and two ports for USB-A and USB – C . What comes in the box too is all that we require and more, We have the charge cable itself and we USB- C to USB-C which is something hard to find on its own these days.
Overall this is a nice powerpack and will give your mobile phone several charges overand can provide emergency power for your laptop if needed but its not aimed at the likes but it will give you some reserve power for important work, this will also charge two devices at once which can be handy for those on the go. the only thing about this i would have a gripe with is the price though it is build well and looks good there is alternatives out there,the other gripe is its a 30W so slower charging for laptops and the likes which would double as a standard.
If you are a person to take lots of pictures on a smartphone or camera or have lots of gadgets you use on the go this is the piece for you,its small,its light and looks good and blends in with their new range of products with the looks and build quality.
Features.
Supports SD, SDHC/XC UHS-I cards with speeds up to 104 Mbps.
HDCP-compliant HDMI video output: 4K (30 Hz) and FHD 1080p (60 Hz).
Two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports with up to 5 Gbps data transfer speed.
HDMI multi-channel digital audio output on compatible devices.
Thunderbolt-3 compatible and 100% plug-n-play, no drivers needed.
Premium anodized aluminum casing minimizes EM interference.
This as the power bank we reviewed matches up quite well in looks and if like me and you are into gadgets and need to hot swap some material its ideal, Compatible Gadgets like phones,tablets,dashcams cameras and more. There is a micro sd card reader which you will need a card reader to insert, you have two usb ports to connect any compatible gadget and a HDMI port which makes things easier again when connecting to your TV for example it is a win win piece of kit.
USB- C devices are now a thing and there is some compatible laptops out there but mostly Apple Macs, if you own one of those this is the idea dock for your needs though I would have liked to see more ports available.

I am a long time user of noreve products and still use their cases today and they last, recently reviewed is the Nokia 8 case and 7 plus case and given the usage they get you can see their prodcuts last, Check out the video below and if you have any questions feel free to ask as always down below or on our social chanels.
This article is made with C12 shielding material, invented by the company Schlegel Electronic Materials. The material is the fruit of more than 20 years of research and development. The C12 provides the best 97.4dB attenuation and protection over a range of frequencies from between 100KHZ and 2GHZ (This is the range for RFID technology). An anti RFID texture protects you from “network sniffers” who try to recuperate the data on your credit/bank cards when you are in a public place. This texture is the most efficient method of countering electronic theft and protecting your confidential bank and personal information.

The Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard design looks like a standard keyboard with a few extras, a spill-resistant design, built sturdy to survive accidental sit-ons and occasional drops The Keyboard looked and felt solid with a clever Microsoft nano receiver (dongle) that has a magnet, this allows the dongle to be fitted cleverly under the battery compartment when not required. Microsoft have placed their logo on the dongle ensuring an authentic kit is visible.

1 x All-in-One media keyboard
2 x AAA alkaline battery

Connectivity: USB
Setup:
The setup worked straight away, requiring no configuration. The dongle plugs directly into the standard USB connection and works straight away with no configuration required. The Keyboard was used with a standard laptop & an android gaming box. The multi touch trackpad took a while to get use to, the finger motions worked well when mastered. Using the keyboard on the Android box worked great allowing the usual websites easily accessible. The range within a standard room worked well. The basic keyboard functionality can be used with select USB HID compliant Smart TVs gaming consoles.
There is an option to setup media hotkeys allowing shortcuts to your music, photos, and videos. The volume controls option allows control of the audio. Shortcuts options to music, photos and videos are possible but are not essential on the setup.

The keyboard is permanently paired with its receiver at the factory with no key information shared over the air ensuring the info is protected.
Conclusion:
The Microsoft All in one media Keyboard is good quality without breaking the bank. The requirement for a keyboard is still relevant today from its initial conception back in 1868 when used as a typewriter with Microsoft getting in on the act of ergonomic keyboard for computers, in 1994. The keyboard may not be ergonomic comfortable keyboard for the usual 40 hour working week but for short use can’t fault this keyboard. The advantage in terms of no cable. practical and works is very beneficial in a busy lifestyle. The Keyboard was comfortable but did not have the lugs to tilt the keyboard, the keyboard did not have a backlight and a bit smaller than an unusual keyboard. The keyboard is slightly shorter than a laptop 15.5 laptop keyboard, with the keys narrower than a standard keyboard. The Integrated multi-touch trackpad takes up some space making the keyboard keys shorter than a typical keyboard. All the function buttons expected on a standard keyboard are available on the keyboard.
The keyboard is full-size keyset with an integrated multi-touch trackpad – type, swipe, drag, zoom option. The sturdy build quality which you expect from Microsoft is clear and cleverly design. This branded premium product comes at a reasonable price that works well, allows the flexibility on the move especially when using on a smart TV. Depending on your requirement whether occasional few hours use, or daily business use, this may justify the model to use. If considering a limited use of the keyboard looking at cheaper alternatives would be a poor consideration, This Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard works well with a few nifty tricks at a realistic price, certainly a keyboard to consider.
The Adonit mini range launched back in 2013 and they area handy piece of kit for those whom need precision on the go be it on your phone tablet and even your smartwatch. I have never been one to use a stylus much until the galaxy note came along and they can be handy for image editing and text on small screens given screens though tend to be far from small but we do have phones with small screens but this tool makes things much easier in general regardless screen size.
Specifications
Tip: Precision disc tip
Diameter: 8.5mm
Length: 109.9mm / 125.9mm(in use)
Weight: 15.4g
This like its previous versions is a stylus but giving more accuracy on the go and an easy to use tool which many people would find useful and the build quality is top-notch too.This comes in a variety of colours and is relatively cheap,there is other brands out there much cheaper however as a product this one stands out on it’s on with looks and build quality. It may not be as conveient as a phone with a built in stylus but does the job better and now it is smaller.
Adonit Mini 4 is available in Olive Green, Royal Blue, Orange, and Dark Grey for £22.25 from Amazon and Adonit.
The product branding in terms of packaging and design to the out of box experience is prominent to observe as a quality product from the initial perception. The Jabra Elite 65e looks professional from the initial view of the packing and feel on the box in the standard Jabra colours. The unit has an IP54 rated design which protects from limited dust ingress and water spray from any direction.
The earphones are magnetised which when placed around your neck can be connected to each other with the magnets, which stops the music automatically playing. The Jabra Elite 65e has pronounce buttons on the earphones allowing easily to navigate the main button on the unit.
1 / 8
Box Contains:
Pouch, Micro USB cable, 3 sets of EarGels and EarWings, Quick Start Guide, Warranty and Warning Leaflets Product Dimensions: 7.1 x 17.4 x 18.8 cm ; 18.1 g Boxed-product Weight: 581 g
Warranty: Two-year warranty against water and dust.
Setup:
The earphones out of the box had over 50% charge. The pairing was quick and easy. This was aided by the voice commands which gave clear instructions. The earphones are magnetised, which can be put together when not using. This stops the music playing automatically saving pressing additional buttons on your phone. The EarGels and EarWingsrequire evaluation to get the right fit and once the correct option is found the earbuds are comfortable and secure to wear.
Charging battery:
The charging is done via a Micro USB cable. The newer C charging type connector would be my preferred choice as supplied on most newer android phones. The charger socket is clearly visible not requiring any dust cover to be removed, (while the unit is waterproof). The unit has a red-light indicator light when charging which is not too distracting if placed in a bedroom to charge. The battery will last a good 13 hours as a comparison to other earphones. These earphones come into their own when the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) is turned on which reduces the battery to 8 hours. The charging takes less than 2 hours charging to a full charge.
ANC (Active Noise cancellation):
Active Noise cancellation has been around for a while, but Jabra bring this to a new level, the audio quality weather on a call or listening to music is great but turning on the ANC reduces unwanted ambient sounds. This help to prevent the trend to raising the volume excessively to block out the external noise. The Jabra Elite 65e has a noticeable audio experience, many other earphones used in the past often have a low hiss at low frequencies with ANC on. The Jabra Elite 65e works, the noise reduction can get you lost in the music even when in a noisy environment.
Conclusion:
The trends of most of the phone manufactures in terms of no 3.5mm Audio Jack on the phone will exaggerate the number of Bluetooth headsets. The Jabra Elite 65e required no cables to your phone. The experience of getting the right ear gel is an important factor in the use, this can be trial and error until a good fit is found, once found the earphones are comfortable to use for hours. The charger cable of the C connector would be better for the future, but the micro charger does work. The extras on these earphones in terms of voice prompts, magnet options, charging socket, water and dustproof, choice of ear gels and a carry case make this a frontrunner for any choice.
Overall as with all the Jabra products, the quality and audio are great but the Jabra Elite 65e takes this to a different level with the ANC which works effortlessly. These earphones are one of my favourite earphones in terms of each of use and audio quality and leave other earphones obsolete, without the ANC option.
When it comes to quality leather cases Noreve is a safe bet for any phone, Having reviewed multiple cases for the company they stand the test of time and bring a professional look to your device, The Nokia 7 plus leather case is no different and complements the copper edging of the device too. The case is made with high range full-grain leather, following a traditional procedure and has a thermoplastic inner frame, which won’t disturb the operation of the device..
To top all that off these cases are ALL hand made and not mass produced likemany cases we see today, For €35 you get quality throughout and the case looks well on your phone and in this case as mentioned above syncs well with the copper rim around the Nokia 7 Plus. Check out the image gallery below and video for more..
You can listen to music, increase the volume, take pictures or videos, all without blockage. The holder is authenticated by a small brand logo on the inner lining. It is possible to customise it by visiting Noreve’s site; you will be able to choose its colour and texture.
The unit looks professional, the box quality of the initial box looked fancy and felt good. The two styluses came in a professional looking box held together on a foam cushion. A variety of accessories was included in the box. The stylus is made from alluminium with a comfortable balanced weight.

Practical use:
The stylus comes will a lot of functionality in the box. The stylus is protected with a screw tip cover. To access the disc tip, you must unscrew the grip section and then screw the other side of the grip to the body of the pen. The screw thread seems secure and strong. The stylus was extremely accurate when used with the text or line directly beneath the tip. There are no batteries setup etc required; take from the box and use directly on the touch screen. The replacement tips are a bonus.
Conclusion:
The price of this stylus would be a surprise to most, having asked a variety of people what this cost should be, the reaction was 2 or 3 times the actual price. The variety of spares is great; the spares did not inspire confidence in physical strength but in terms of value for money these are great. This may not be for be all users but for those that require a smart stylus can’t go wrong, this may be excellent present or alternative to try something new.
Last year we checked out the Garmin 65w dashcam and this version we have today is the Garmin 55 1440p Dashcam much is the the same to be honest bar a few minute differences although I think this one looks better with the copper tint around the lens.It gives it a bit of bling..
55 VS 65W FRONT
55 VS 65WREAR
The build quality again here is great to begin with and its a robust unit, On the front we have a small screen which is 2.0 inches which is the smallest screen we have tested but its clear and readable which is important and notifications are loud and visible,more on that later. On the right side we have 4 circular buttons which are easy to navigate,even when not looking. On the display beside the sceen these buttons are indexed with power on/off/back which is the top one and then consecutively UP-DOWN and take shot with the bottom key,this autosaves to your SD card. The unit does not come with an SD card which is a bummer but thats how it is.
Features.
Small and inconspicuous when mounted on windscreen and easy to mount.
High-quality 3.7 megapixel camera with 1440p video capture; works even in low-light conditions
Forward collision and lane departure warnings plus alerts for nearby red light cameras and speed cameras
Includes lifetime safety camera updates
GPS-enabled with automatic incident detection (G-Sensor) saves video footage on impact to show when and where events happened
Voice control allows you to start/stop audio recording, take a still picture and more, all with your voice.
The set up is easy here as before with a simple UI you can see this set up and how easy it is below.
Keeping in mind with voice control it is pretty sensitive I had to turn it off sometimes as if you are in conversation or listening to the radio for example it tends to pick up sound bites and save clips and videos accidentally. Another thing is sensitivity around safety settings these can be adjusted too or turned off, You will know after a period of time what is right for you when it keeps giving you alerts constantly and it will probably annoy you but like I said you can switch on/off…
Video quality on the 55 version is great and there is some samples above and below in different times of the day, Viewing the image on the 2.0 screen is also clear and on par with many competitors out there, You will need to decide where is best to place it and on set up you will also see an option to calibrate for a high,medium or low vehicle setting such as truck,van or a car and then left right or centre, People have their own favoured position so the ability to place it where you like is good and it can be concealed better..
With this Garmin 55 just like the 65w you can more or less plug in and go out of the box which makes life easy however it is best to navigate the options at hand such as WI-FI for example as the unit has this built-in but requires an app to transfer the data, I find these apps in general poor,many other brands suffered connectivity and transfer issues so I just transfer direct to PC. Also you have the ability to share to social media platforms if you wish..
The only notable difference between the 55 and the 65w is it has a wider-angle, 180-degree lens and better camera unit the 55 is cheaper but there is not much at loss here when it comes to features between the two they both have it all really. The Dash Cam 55 sports a 3.7 megapixel camera and captures in 1440p or 1080p with 720p res footage.
Data is continuously recorded and can’t be manipulated and this combined with travelapse and a built in G sensor you will have all the info at hand should you have a bump..All cars should be fitted with dashcams as a standard in my opinion as it would rule out fraudulent claims and have proof at hand there and then and it would also speed up the process. Be it the 55 or 65w either of these two will keep you safe so spend a few quid and invest in a quality product..
