First Look – Punkt MP02 phone. Need a detox from social media and more?

There has been several mobile devices over the years that enabled you to take a detox from all the hustle and your phone hopping all day with notifications but these are far and few between, we have dumphones and feature phones and then the smartphones which can give you all you need for little money these days and one can argue you can just turn off the notification or delete the apps but it is to easy and lets be honest about it, we can just switch all this back on.

The MP02 can be used as a second phone as a way to get some ‘digital downtime’ – everything else is left behind for a while. Alternatively, many MP02 owners use it as their sole phone and combine it with a mini-tablet as required, via the MP02’s hotspot. Having that larger screen is a major upgrade over any smartphone, and a tablet does not have the same ‘pester power’.

The MP02 offers an alternative to mass-produced, old-tech handsets. It’s not just a thin-as-possible pixel platform; it’s a solid, comfortable piece of equipment that is easy to pick up, feels great in the hand, and is never, ever going to bend. Its sleek elegance is matched by top-quality materials, producing a phone that provides a concrete reminder of why the physical world is the world that matters even before it is switched on.

Check out this new phone and stay tuned for a full hands on review soon…

ASUS – Republic of Gamers Announces the ROG Phone 5S Series

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the new ROG Phone 5s and ROG Phone 5s Pro gaming smartphones, the latest and most powerful additions to the game-changing ROG Phone 5 family.

The ROG Phone 5s series is fuelled for winning with the latest flagship Snapdragon® 888+ 5G Mobile Platform, featuring advanced 5G capabilities and premium Snapdragon Elite Gaming™ features. This awesome processing power is complemented by up to 18 GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM. The optimised GameCool 5 cooling system, with the AeroActive Cooler 5 and the performance manager in Armory Crate, ensures maximum performance is available for any gaming scenario.

The 144 Hz / 1 ms AMOLED display used in the ROG Phone 5s series boasts a 360 Hz native touch sampling rate[1], for a super-smooth, seamless gaming experience. Additionally, the ROG Phone 5s Pro features a colour version of the innovative ROG Vision rear matrix display, which shows customisable animations in response to a variety of system events.

The pioneering and still-unrivalled AirTrigger 5 control system now supports the two rear touch sensors on ROG Phone 5s Pro, giving mobile gamers truly console-like control capabilities. The ultrasonic side sensors on both models also support dual gestures, such as tap-and-slide or tap-and-swipe, for total control.

ROG has also teamed up with some of the most popular game titles to give ROG Phone 5 and 5s series owners a collection of different theme packs that they can use to turn their ROG Phone into a truly unique gaming device.

 

For those who dare

The latest flagship Snapdragon 888+ 5G Mobile Platform powering the ROG Phone 5s series provides boosted performance, unrivalled speed and multi-gigabit class WiFi 6 to take the mobile gaming experience to the next level. With the clock speed now up to a blistering 3 GHz, the CPU performance is designed to deliver unmatched mobile processing power. All models also feature up to 18 GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM to dramatically increase the overall gaming performance.

To enable maximum sustained performance, the GameCool 5 cooling system in the ROG Phone 5s series has an optimum thermal structure featuring a cantered CPU with the battery split into two parts, one located on each side of the CPU. This ensures that the heat generated by the CPU is transferred to all the edges and corners of the chassis simultaneously for higher thermal efficiency. The re-shaped 3D vapor chamber and extensive graphite sheets also help to spread the heat evenly across the device to reduce heat build-up in the middle. The AeroActive Cooler 5 intakes and expels an incredible amount of air directly onto the centre of the phone — right where the CPU is — to deliver an amazing up to 10°C drop in the CPU temperature.

The performance manager in the Armoury Crate app includes our famous X Mode, with multiple system profiles to give gamers even more performance settings and performance tuning tools, so they can instantly adapt their phone to the task at hand.

 

Dare to see

Cutting-edge displays have been a signature ROG Phone feature since its inception, and the ROG Phone 5s series continues this tradition. Now boasting a first-rate 360 Hz native touch sampling rate, the 144 Hz / 1 ms Samsung E4 AMOLED display delivers a super-smooth gaming experience, with an ultra-low touch latency. Tuned in collaboration with leading visual-processing company Pixelworks®, the supreme visuals are enhanced even further with world-beating colour accuracy, always-on HDR technology to improve non-HDR visuals, and a screen that’s protected by the toughest ever Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™. The ROG Phone 5s series is built to endure — and built to win.

The ROG Phone 5s Pro additionally features a colour version of ROG Vision, the unique rear matrix display that highlights the ROG creative spirit. ROG Vision can display a variety of stylish animations that can show you if the ROG Phone 5s Pro is charging, if there’s an incoming call, whether X Mode is enabled, and more. Gamers can even create their own custom animations to make their phone even more personal.

 

Built for gamers

Total control is the name of the game for the ROG Phone 5s series, and the AirTrigger 5 control system gives gamers distinct ways to interact with their ROG Phone 5s or 5s Pro, delivering an unrivalled level of game control. The AeroActive Cooler 5 also features two extra physical buttons to allow a genuine console-like gaming experience.

Additionally, the ROG Phone 5s Pro features innovative hidden rear touch sensors on the back cover, which provide L2/R2 trigger functions, just like a game console controller. These can be controlled with the AirTrigger 5 system, and work in conjunction with the ultrasonic sensors, the AeroActive Cooler 5 buttons and the motion controls to provide full control for a total gaming experience.

The GameFX audio system on ROG Phone 5s Pro features symmetrical seven-magnet dual speakers for truly balanced stereo sound effects, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack in conjunction with a hi-fi grade ESS DAC. Both have been optimised in collaboration with audio specialist Dirac, giving the ROG Phone 5s series truly impressive audio quality and a wider soundscape. In addition to the premium sounds, GameFX also delivers crystal-clear in-game sound effects and powerful aural soundscapes.

Google’s Fiber Phone wants to be your new landline provider By @VicenteA_George #Google

After the official launch of “Project Fi” the search giant wants to become your landline phone provider.

Nothing really inventive or revolutionary but rather useful if you need it and if you are lucky enough to be on one of the “few areas” where is going to start.

Let’s take a look at the Fiber Phone

This service will be available for all those who uses Google Fiber Internet.

Costing $10 per month, you’ll get full unlimited local national calls, keeping the number you have or picking a new one, you’ll even get caller ID with the phone.

Something you’ll find even more useful is the ability to use either your home line or make it call your cell phone if you’re out.

Working through the same principle as Google Voice this “add on” could be interesting if they get to implemented in the proper way.

In the post announcing the event they said the service is going to be available in few areas to star with, but they didn’t say where, though is safe to think on the four major areas where Google Fiber is available.
