Tech Review – Orico USB4.0 portable SSD

Most of of us own some kind of storage be it a thumb drive or USB key as they are also known as or some form of external storage and we have covered plenty here on site even some with personalization too which is cool so if you can get that option do so as some brands do offer this service on top of the usuals like storage size and the option of HDD or SSD and like most tech now they come in different shapes and sizes and have moved from a boring block to an extent but there is none out there quite like this one boasting really nice colours and just stands out, anyone that has been to my office has asked what it is and have been surprised not realising such things exist these days.

Yes those who know me know I like things that stand out and when we seen this released it was a must have regardless, there is a mobile phone actually quite similar with looks that  out there too called the Techno Camo 19 Mondrian Edition phone and I love it, in fact I am trying to get my hands on that phone.

So we have a portable SSD drive that stands out in short and looks well even just sitting there so what else has this got that then let’s have a look.

It is a multiplatform device which for one is a good start and after testing on several devices we see that indeed it does work as it says on the tin and super fast I tested on Android Windows and Chromebook and all worked well and fast so it works let’s be clear on that one.

I guess the thing here is speed and speed means better productivity which saves you time not only that your data is secure, also this is super portable and can be placed in your travel bag and have movies and music on the go or whatever your use case scenario is these days.

The Specs

  • Product Model –  ORICO-MTQ-40G
  • Series – MTQ
  • Material – Zinc Alloy+ABS
  • Dimension – 115*63.15*21mm
  • Color – Multi-color

Tech Review – Pixel 7 chalk case

We have a range of cases coming for the Google Pixel 7 and we start off today with a case from Google which is the Chalk case which matches our device nicely. Clean and simple this case does a good job all round and works with wireless charging.

The case will give you additional grip and also has a lip on the top which protects the screen, the lens area on the rear is also protected but I can see dust building up in the corners, we will see over the next few days how that goes. The keys which are aluminium work fine and match the buttons on the device too and same for the logo on the rear. The case is made with over 30% recycled plastics which is nice and keeps things greener. Check the video for more below.

Check out the Pixel Watch first look and Pixel 7 first look, full reviews soon when we spend some real time with both devices.

Tech Review QCY G1 gamer earbuds

Many earbud manufacturers are now targeting the gamer fan which means you get a two in one product and most likely a better price and they are doing this by offering a lower latency take on their earbuds QYC is a new brand here to us and after reviewing their last earbuds the QCY T18 earbuds which are super impressive for the price their G1 model attempts to attract gamers as we do have an option to use solely as a gaming earbud or a gaming earbud but the thing is when you offer both you give people more for their money and attract new custom.

Their app is great which we went over in the QCY T18 but below is a what is different this time around and all the smarts that were there in the T18 are still present so you are getting that but more and at an affordable price point which is great for the consumer.

As you can see the app has all you need you have got battery level control sound control for both gaming and music and feature controls you can even control the LED and you have a sleeping mode option.

As for the sound again it is good however I found these a bit on the brighter side compared to the previous pair we checkout but that is just my thoughts and again can be customised with the app but overall good sound across the board and no lag latency when using with Netflix etc and whilst gaming and so on and for anyone on a budget who requires new earbuds and wants them for music and gaming  you should look at these, they are light comfortable and the controls work well and all in all a well rounded product at an affordable price offer both gamers and music listeners value for money again.

Tech Review – Pixel Watch Stretch Band

The all new Pixel Watch comes with several types of bands to chose from which is a good start, you of course get a band with the watch but you can pick from several others there with various materials and price points, the choice is yours, We have the Pixel Watch Stretch Band and it has to be said it is pretty comfortable to wear as I have for a few days.

It is a simple operation to change out the bands after you fiddle around with it and like any other band replacing it will get easier but first time a bit of a pain however that is just me and now it is on and all is good, you will need to be careful picking your wrist size so do check what is available on any given bands you might look at and measure your wrist beforehand, I have the Xtra large one which worked well for me.

One thing to add is do not do this over a table or a solid surface as the watch face is rounded and may get scratched and hopefully there will be some kind of accessory soon to avoid this happening, we will look into more bands down the road so stay tuned for more things Pixel on techbuzzireland and of course Youtube

Sizes for this review sample as as follows

Extra Small: Fits wrists 130-150 mm aroundSmall: Fits wrists 140-160 mm aroundMedium: Fits wrists 155-175 mm aroundLarge: Fits wrists 170-200 mm aroundExtra Large: Fits wrists 190-210 mm around

Tech Review – Konftel 800 & Ceiling Mount Kit

The Hybrid conference phone came in a neutral packing in terms of limited information on the packing but has the impressive Climate neutral products symbol on the packing.  This kit came with the Konftel 800 Ceiling Mount Kit allowing the kit flexibility in placements The kit is designed for Small to Large rooms while having the options for larger spaces or multipurpose rooms to be able to connect additional devices using the daisy-chain to increase audio capabilities. The 4.3-inch graphical LCD touchscreen display allowed for easy configurations and visual displays when the volume or mute options were used via colour changes on the kit. The kit has an additional, two mute key buttons located along the corners of the unit to allow any user to go on mute.

Previously at techbuzz Ireland, we reviewed The Konftel C2070 conferencing system, which came with a speakerphone, camera, and hub their Konftel Cam10 Ego bluetooth speakerphone and also the Cam10 webcam

Konftel 800 conference ceiling and mount kit for conference calls – techbuzzireland

Setup and use:

The Kit came with a quick user guide in terms of the setting up with outstanding diagrams to give a clear view of how to install it. The basic installation required minimal technical experience. Those of an advanced nature can refer to the web version “Installing and Administering Konftel 800” which contains  200 pages for diverse types of network installations configurations,  

The conference phone can also use Bluetooth to connect to a mobile device, or a laptop as it supports Hands-Free and A2DP Bluetooth profiles. Konftel 800 uses 10/100 Mbit Ethernet and supports PoE Class 1 and Class 2 power.

Note: This kit is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) enabled device and would require purchasing as an optional accessory if needed which Jim has a good deal of knowledge with NTP time servers when it comes to clock systems which also uses PoE in certain configurations

App:   Konftel Unite

This allows connection via your phone for One Touch Conferencing, calling from your contact list, create your conference groups. Techbuzz tested on an android device which was a standard install.

App Store

https://itunes.apple.com/app/konftel-unite/id1093774146

Google Play

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.konftel.unite

Warranty: 2 years

Overall:

The kit came in a Climate neutral packing which is always a bonus. The design while having many awards has a few personal niggles in terms of several types of screws provided for the Ceiling Mount Kit and the network cable does not have a tray to hide the cable if placed on a boardroom table as you would see on a typical phone system.

The physical connection to the network is straightforward but may require looking towards a PoE injector for power. The Ceiling Mount Kit mechanically connects easily and can easily be removed as required. Connectivity via the app or via a laptop was standard without any issues,

As a real positive the ability to connect via a smartphone easily and quickly, is great especially if the kit is being mounted, the colour changes for the mute etc are great.  The Audio quality cannot be faulted as the test carries out walking close and further back gave exceptional audio quality.

The audio quality is a result of the three microphones in the base of Konftel 800, which support 10 users in a 30 square meters room.  The audio was excellent at blocking out noise from outside of the room testing via the Smart Microphone which had built-in cancellation of echo and background noise through OmniSound.

The additional socket via daisy chain allowed for the addition of microphones to increase the conference phone coverage to seventy square meters or daisy chain three Konftel 800 devices to cover up to 90 square meters.

The kit has a few minor niggles but is a real gem in terms environmentally friendly, easy to set up and use with the options of seriously advanced features, Voip / traditional with the option to expand the impressive audio experience for any call.
