Tech Review – The Aukey LS02 Smartwatch & Fitness Tracker. #Tech #Aukey #Smartwatch

Aukey is brand that delivers nice technology at an affordable price and we have been using their products for some time here on techbuzz we also have more in for review but today we are looking at the LS02 smartwatch/fitness tracker. With an abundance of choice on the market today there is no shortage to pick from no matter how much you have to spend. Fitbit and other brands such as Xiaomi have a good grip on the market today however this one gives them a run for their money and having test this for nearly a month it offers a bit more for your money coming in at around 38 euro, yes that is right…

It is not a slim skimpy band but it looks like a typical smartwatch albeit clean it it made out of polycarbonate looks nice and fits really well with a decent size screen and offering a decent 1.4 inch 320 x 320 screen with IP68 waterproofing. there is 12 fitness modes and an accompanying app that is really easy to use and sports up to 20 days battery life, this however depends on what information you have tied into the app I have found with all my apps running you get 10 days but if you just require the bare minimum you will get the 20 days.

For me I tried the full app list on my device and it is great for notifications they are a basic text on the device and you cant take calls as there is no speaker but for the price you cant really give out about that, you can also control your music on the watch too which is handy and you can get all your social media notifications on the device too and all of this keeps you away from your phone to an extent, For the fitness folks there is plenty here to keep them happy as you can see down below with all these workouts and it also includes your heart rate.

There is also a find my phone option on the watch too which is handy, What makes this watch different it it does not have an app store nor can you add faces to it, it does come with some settings on the device which is plenty to get you going if you are new to such which many seem to be taking up now with the pandemic and this shows you can pick up a decent wearable for a fraction of the cost of what is out there today on the market. Check out the video below for more as we look into to what is on this watch and the app.

Tech Review – Aukey 1080p webcam. #Tech #Webcams #Aukey

Since this covid lark began things also started changing for many workers in Ireland and that is working from home, this was already happening though over the last two years and the pandemic only accelerated it. For me it has been the same, gradually over the last three years I left a company I worked for as a contractor for 18 years and found a niche in the industry

I do know of plenty of people that do work from home and have done so for years, long before this situation arrived but the likes of zoom and teams was not needed, we had skype and other means to do business over the phone or via your pc/laptop but now with teams and zoom being hugely popular I chose teams to be my means of contact when I require to speak to more than one person since some people are from strategically placed business in Ireland it is impossible to get all in one place at one time given we do have the rights to travel for essential purposes but me being me I decided to use tech to make life easier for all and get the same job done without moving.

Lets be up front most of our built in webcams are rubbish and you will see why here I have several laptops and they are all brutal with the built in webcam and you will see the difference by using an external webcam and not only that you are not so restricted either as it can be moved anywhere within the cables confines and the picture and audio is also better too, there is people out there who worry about what they look like on the likes of zoom and so on and need to stop this. I did hear a radio topic on this the other day and it is not right worrying how you look on these platforms, If that is you external webcams are for you and we have some in to check out, the one here today is the AUKEY 1080P webcam and it is a simple plug and play and job done, no software no nothing just plug it in and switch to it on whatever platform you are using..

  • 1080P High Resolution: With a 1/3 inch CMOS image sensor, the webcam with a resolution of 1920*1080p delivers clear video for video chatting and video recording, provides good performance even in dimly lit rooms (≤ 5 lux)
  • Built-in stereo microphone: the two digital microphones provide clear, natural sound and significantly reduce background noise
  • Plug & Play: Thanks to USB Video Class (UVC) you do not need to install any drivers or software, simply connect to the USB port of your device
  • Compatible with Windows XP/2000/2003/Vista/7/8/10, Mac OS 10.6 and Android 5.0 or above, works with Smart TV, Android TV Box, Skype, MSN, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Youtube, Yahoo Messenger etc.
  • Box contents: Aukey PC-LM1E webcam 1080p, instruction manual (English language not guaranteed)

Tech Review – Aukey 12-in-1 USB-C hub #Tech #Aukey

Need to add some peripherals to your laptop or PC well the Aukey 12-in-1 USB-C hub might just be the thing you need. We have covered several similar offerings before and in short these offer you more flexibility as laptops these days often come with the bare minimum ports especially if you use Apple Macs etc and this of course works with them and much more cost effective, these hubs allow you be more productive and connect multiple things at one go like several flash drives which is great for those on the go transferring data and so on and much more, you also have and SD card reader, sd card slot HDMI ports, USB-C ports and more however these is no micro USB port present on this hub which is a sign of the times and perhaps maybe one should have been present but all is fine regardless.

One thing that would have made this hub more sweet would have been on board storage too but it is a minor caveat as many available out there now do offer storage at this price point but if you just need a hub to connect and transfer data this is certainly one to look at, This hub though is great for someone with multiple products on the go like me as you can charge multiple devices on the go at the same time which is a gift.

Review – The @AUKEYofficial EP-N5 true wireless earbuds. #Tech #Aukey #TWS

Recently we checked out the T21 true wireless from Aukey that delivered on price and features and the new EP-N5 just bring more to the table with ANC and cost around 60 euro and sound great too. Just like smartphones the days of buying phones costing over a grand are done and spending apple prices on earbuds is now following suit very quickly and it is a win for the consumer overall.

OK we are getting the typical all black approach here and they are boring looking just like may true wireless out there today but if they deliver on sound well it is something I can live with and anyone else on a budget too,they have a good seal out of the box touch controls, USB-C charging,dual mics, 10 mm drivers and you get up to 7 hours of battery life per charge and 35 with the case , using ANC though will reduce this by almost half  but it is the best way to use them.

When it comes to calls they are fine and sound clear and when it comes to music they are also well balanced and no distortion on high volume which is how I use them good bass and more than average highs lows and mids at the cost here if it your first pair of true wireless and you are not an audiophile you will not be dissapointed. Check out the video review for more below..

Features..

  • Advanced Active Noise Cancelation: With the advanced ANC technology, these earbuds detect and cancel a maximum 28dB of ambient noise so you can focus on your music. The 10mm dynamic drivers enhance bass and deliver incredible sound
  • 35-Hour Playtime & USB-C Quick Charge: The earbuds offer 7 hours of music and calls on a single charge with ANC off (4.5 hours with ANC on), while the charging case extends that to 35 hours. USB-C Quick Charge fully charges the charging case in 120 minutes
  • Dual Microphones: Each earbud has two microphones for improved voice pickup and background-noise suppression, which ensures that you’re heard clearly without interference
  • One-Step Pairing & IPX5 Water Resistance: The true wireless earbuds are ready when you are– just take them out of the charging case and they’ll automatically connect to your paired device. IPX5 water resistance makes them ideal for intense workouts and runs

A simple set up and simple UI is what makes this dashcam a win with no hardwiring required all the pieces required come in the box and it is just plug and play, We go through the UI in the video review below.. You do have a small screen to work with but works well under good lighting conditions, you can toggle between front and rear and have a dual display too which is handy albeit small, you can also turn off the screen but its best to have them on in case you might be watching something,there is 4 buttons on the front for navigation and setup and one button is for instant record which works well..

 

 

There is no app required here either so you can remove the SD card which you will need to buy and place it into a phone,tablet or PC to extract files but you can view them on the dashcam itself.

Review – The Aukey DR01 dashcam and car accessories. #Aukey #Tech #Motoring

The Aukey DR01 dashcam is an affordable dashcam that is simple to use and set up which you can see in the unboxing experince below. It has a simple UI and is not touch based but you use buttons instead to control the features however it has most features you expect to find at this price point giving you protection on your journey.

There is just 4 buttons on the dashcam to use and all easy to do so with the simple UI that allows you navigate through the menus and set up the device and you are then good to go, Mounting the unit to is simple with a suction cup that can be placed anywhere in the vehicle and easy to remove should you have more than one vehicle or just want to reposition the unit. You can also alter its angle with the mount in any direction which is good for getting the angle right which some mounts do not offer.

When it comes to function this is what is on board.

  • Clear Video Capture: The DR01 backs you up in any road incident. Sony Exmor Sensor captures super-sharp 1080p video (and optional in-car audio) with 170° field of view and also performs well for nighttime driving
  • Emergency Recording & Loop Recording: Emergency Recording automatically captures unexpected driving incidents and protects the recordings. Loop Recording allows continuous use by writing over old, unneeded footage.

Some dashcams require alot of work to set up where as this given it is not touchscreen is simple to use and it is a plug and play experience and more or less ready to go out of the box and has you covered for your journey ahead and is worth the spend. You do not get a SD card in the box so ensure you have one at hand or purchase one..

Aukey Magnetic dashboard carmount

These I love for several reasons. Better than the window mounts that dont last long and ease of use plus the option to place almost anywhere in the car. How do they work. In the two pack we have you get two mounts plug some magnets with 3M pads to mount the main body on your dash and one for the back of your phone. and both magnetic and also these will work with most phone cases on too depending on how thick they are on the back. If you have two cars you can have one in each or with one car you can have one on the passenger side if you have a regular passenger or partner sharing the vehicle. Additionally these can be used at  home or in the office too and not restricted to just your car and I find these a must have for anyone. To note you get the choice of two pads for your phone you can stick to your case if you like,there is a circular pad and a bigger square pad for heavier devices.

Aukey 3 port usb car charger

A common sight in petrol stations and euro shops.. You get what you pay for from either a euro or two up to ten euro depending on where and petrol stations just like earphones and cables they sell you are typically fleeced at the till and I would avoid at all costs. This is another hand kit to have in your car especially if you have more than one device to charge or again carry another passenger so for taxi men for example an great bit of kit to have to charge customers phones. This offers 3 ports and can be bought in a range of variants with one or two ports for example. This also comes with quick charge and a USB-C cable in the box to get you going,this is another must have if you travel often.

Charge compatible devices up to 4 times faster with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology

Review – The Aukey Desklamp with touch controls. #Aukey #Tech #Home #Office

I have several desk lamps in the house and two have been used for tech and often seen in the background in some of my reviews and they would be on my review table for several reasons. Light being one and other functions too be it wireless charging or bluetooth speaker and of course the light factor as to what it can offer..

The said lights above have been more or less a fixed affair with not much movement but had dimming or brightness controls but the actual lights did have some ability to move around offering a wider use case range and for me that is important.

This light has a touch panel on the base which is solid supported by four rubber stoppers underneath which keep it fixed in place. You have a timer,power switch a mode switch and then a night switch which allows you to see in the dark to turn on the light by emitting an orange dot on the panel.

The lamp can twist,turn from the base and also extends at an angle then the main LED section can rotate either way which is the additional bonus here for me to give you better control for lighting which for me is important and will also be of benefit to those who would use one to give them better light set ups for their personal use case. Also this lamp has a USB port on the rear which allows you to attach another item to it which saves on plugs and I have done that with mine by attaching my RGB desklamp to it as it sits with it in my set up at home. This lamp again is clean and effective with a simple to use control panel and ideal for any office or home and cheap.

  • Dimmable Eye-friendly Lighting: offers 5 different lighting modes and 7 levels of brightness, all on the seamlessly integrated touch panel. Generates a soft, evenly diffused flicker-free LED light for work, reading, relaxation
  • Multi-Angle Adjustments: Adjustable arm, rotating base, and swiveling lamp head for perfect positioning and lighting angle
  • USB Charging: Conveniently charge your devices with the built-in 5V/1A USB output; keep your smartphone or tablet within reach while charging
  • Auto-Off Timer & Memory Function: Turn the light off automatically with 1 hour auto-off timer to save on your electricity bill before you are going to sleep. Also, the lamp always remembers the last brightness and color setting used
  • Package Contents: AUKEY LT-T10 LED Desk Lamp, AC Adapter, User Manual, 24-Month Warranty Card
