instax mini Link 3 smartphone printer review

The FUJIFILM instax mini Link 3 smartphone printer has been part of my daily carry some time now and it is the latest addition to their portfolio of products and in fact a great fun piece of tech to bring on holiday, to the pub or to the beach or anywhere for that matter as it is portable and not huge by any stretch and will fit in most bags.

Coming in several colours Sage Green, Clay White, and Rose Pin there is something for everyone to pick from here and like before has a solid sturdy build and is  not heavy, it also ha s a grippy texture to it which makes it easy to hold, there is a USB-C charging port on the side a film tray on the rear and of course a slot up top to eject the photos when printing right there and then.

There is a power key on the left side paired up with the function button, you can reprint photos by pressing the and holding the power button for 1 second but can order up to ten prints per shot as there is only ten in a pack but it will ask to refill if you have more. There is also some nice light effects up front on the device.

Picture quality has improved I think this time around as you will see in the video review with samples vs on device photos and with the options to edit in the app is great, there is also a AR app you can have fun with if that is your thing, it could be seen as a gimmick for some however for others not you will understand more when you play with it and see the premise behind it as it has been used before in shopping scenarios and sizing for example. Your photo will take around 3 minutes to complete which is fun to watch especially for those who never seen such or held a photo in their life with how things are today.

The battery is decent and will easily see you through 80 prints not that you would be shooting off that many prints in one sitting however this still means you can charge it up and if taking out and about there is plenty of charge on board and also they have ditched the micro USB for USB-C this time thankfully.

Overall again a cool product to have and get creative with some upgrades and useful apps to use, the cost of the film though again is a small caveat however this is something one can overcome by holding an actual photo after printing it there and then and can make a nice photo wall or frame from the results.

Tech Review – Ellie Baby Plus, Baby Monitor Pro

The Ellie Baby Plus, Baby Monitor Pro is a simple to set up and use camera for your home and given it is aimed at babies in the house this can be used for basic security for your pet or even elder parents/ grandparents if they have a need to be monitored which is great.

What is great with this kit is there is a tablet that comes with it and an app which bot replicate each other in most instances so for example if you are in one room and your baby or child in another you can carry the portable tablet with you which is well built and robust and simple to use just like the app and you can see both in action in the video review below and what to expect.

The app is full of features and has a good UI  and works both on Android and iOS giving you control be it at home or if you are away and you can set notifications if you wish to do so and not miss a thing.

There is a two way speaker system and you can clearly hear if you are either listening or speaking from your phone not only this there is a suite of options for babies such as lullabies to help them sleep if they are not settling down. You can also use the split screen mode if you are not with the child.

The camera is also quite cool with a themed toy shape and look and is silent when it is being moved around so it will not disturb your child or pet unless you speak through it.

The camera also offers zoom, large angle rotation, 360° room view, and automatic movement tracking. Features 2.5K QHD night vision and Pan-Tilt rotation and comes with local storage and no monthly fees which for me is a real bonus as most security cameras no require this and tease you into a 30 day trial with no SD card option so this is a huge win for me and certainly is for the customer.

Of course AI being the big buzzword now this camera also offer AI features such as covered face & rollover detection, breathing detection, sleep quality reports, danger zone detection, cry detection, auto-soothing, person tracking, and auto photo capture and also offer sleep  and breathing reports we do not have a baby to try this part out but I gently went over it with my dog who kindly participated in some of the review which was hard work.

Overall this is a superb product if you have a new baby and if you are expecting one this needs to be on your radar as it offer more than most in this category.

Official HONOR Magic V3 case review

If you are wondering what the official HONOR Magic V3 case is like after a few requests here is a quick review but we will have more in the coming weeks so stay tuned for more on the latest device from HONOR..

This case is quite good but would still advise getting a screen protector for the outer screen, there is a decent lip on the front which should protect you, however the frame is quite thin and expected as this is a foldable phone and we should see more cases soon.

The rear of the device will be well protected overall with the case protecting the lens area including a kickstand which is nice, it is not magsafe compatible but you can still wirelessly charge with this case on.

The hinge is also protected here which is good to see and does fold over the outer screen when opened which will add some protection but as always it depends where it lands.

All ports are accessible and you have easy access to keys as you will see in the video below and watch out for more cases soon.

Tech Review – HiFiMan Svanar Wireless LE

Recently reviewed was the HiFiMan Svanar JR and their affordable TWS 450  so how does the more expensive offering stack up and are they worth their money..Given there is some differences in the technology here much is the same with the same feature set and operations on board but tuned differently.

Again the packaging is well presented and the same as the LE and this time around a different color case with a premium look and finish again the case is quirky but I like this and it stands out just like the earbuds themselves.

This time around the entire earbuds is not housed in plastic so how they look might might not appeal to all, they do to me as I like oddly shaped earbuds which exits from the industry standard look.

Again large earbuds with an ergonomic design that might not suit all ears due to their size however once fitted with the right tips you are good to go and they remain in place even if you are an active person.

Again there is no companion app nor no need for one with and this has been proven before with their entry level earbuds we  tested here the HiFiMan TWS800.

Another older pair we tested again with no app was the TWS-600 and shows with some brands they do not need an app to help change the EQ

The LE offer a bit more than the JR do and sound slightly better with no Himalaya R2R DAC Amp and no LDAC but the rest pretty much stays the same as does the controls on them.

Having considered this and the different price points there is still a great sound signature from the earbuds and do a great job overall there is another version higher again called the SVANAR Wireless which incorporates all the tech from the JR and LE.

Highs lows and mids all good decent volume no lag latency or tinny sound and you are pretty much centered in the audio. Really crisp and clear instruments and overall a great audio experience as you would expect, I do feel people will be a bit lot on the pricing between the models but get it if you are after a particular signature sound overall, calls where fine for me during testing and the ANC would not be the best in the game but they are decent here and I think priced fairly with the tech these have on board you would not see elsewhere too often.

 

HiFiMan Svanar Wireless LE

  • SVANAR WIRELESS Light Luxury Version: Ultimate HIFI TWS: Hymalaya DAC and Headphone Amp drive the Topology Diaphragm driver ★HYMALAYA R2R DAC developed by HIFIMAN received the 2022 VGP Gold Technology Award (Japan)
  • Hymalaya R2R Custom Ladder DAC+ Headphone Amplifier Module: Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.52%(-60dB), 0.005%(-2dB); Undistorted Output: 54mW @16Ω, 45mW @32Ω; Max Output: @32R 1%=63mW
  • HIFIMAN Topology Diaphragm: The “Topology Diaphragm” refers to a diaphragm that features a special Nano particle coating applied to its surface. The result is a more natural and detailed sound than what is typically achieved with True Wireless earphones. The idea behind the new Topology Diaphragm was inspired by Dr.Fang Bian’s Ph.D. thesis that states, “Different Nano materials have different structures and each of those materials have its own properties.”Therefore, by carefully controlling the diaphragm surface structure we can yield different results that are superior in acoustic performance to a degree previously unobtainable.
  • ANC Deep Noise Cancellation. Immerse yourself in your own world of sound: The microphone accurately identifies noise, generating a reverse signal that reduces noise up to -35dB
  • Charging case designed to accommodate most silicone tips, including larger sizes: Most true wireless earphones cannot be charged when using larger-size silicone tips. The Svanar Wireless increases the internal space of the charging case, so there is no need to replace the silicone tips repeatedly when charging the earbuds. Inbox comes with 8 pairs of silicone tips.
  • 7hrs Uninterrupted listening; 28hrs Including the battery life of the charging case: Earbuds may be charged up to three times before needing to recharge the battery case.

Ringke Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL Onyx cases review

The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL are my current daily drivers the last while now and the first thing to do is pick up a case and the next in our case lineup is from Ringke for both devices from the Onyx range.

We have done several other brands and more to come so stay tuned for more cases for your new shiny Pixel 9 series over the next while.

The Ringke Onyx range are simple and to the point and look well on the phone giving you extra grip all round, these are not Magsafe compatible however do a good job regardless.

There is a tapered lip up front meaning you can easily navigate your phones screen and place it face down on any flat surface and on the rear the camera bar is also protected really well with the camera bar recessed in the case and again stops it getting marked and again lets you put it down on a flat surface in confidence, the keys are tactile too and work well as does wireless charging and you can also use a lanyard strap if you wish to do so.

Overall these cases do a good job and will give you some peace of mind should you drop your device and not expensive either.

Tech Review – Edifier W830NB Open-Ear Headphones

The Edifier W830NB Open-Ear Headphones have been the latest cans my ears not long after several pairs from the Brand of late which is always music to my ears, recently reviewed here was the W820NB Plus and the WH700NB

So with the newcomer to their product portfolio I was looking forward to checking these guys out which also has access to their ConneX app..

The look is in line with their current portfolio keeping the design hues in order and the fit is great as always with comfortable cups and headband which can be worn for several hours even for gaming as there is a game mode present in the app like many headphones and earbuds come with these days which is good to see.

The controls are all on the right cup which is good and keeping it simple with all your features accessible along with the app to get the custom sound you require which everyone has their own taste there. Alongside the controls is the USB-C charge port and led light and mics.

The finish is robust and clean with a matt finish which has held up well with no marks to date despite the bright colour we have in for review which I preferred out of the colours available.

The controls are raised and work well getting the right command right each time rather than having missed one and they do not trigger accidental commands even when lying down.

Sound quality is as expected with the latest from Edifier here and with their app as seen below and the video review after that we have a great listening experience as one would expect.

Highs lows and mids all good no tinny sound when maxed out and no lag latency noted, with the Hi Res audio LDAC you can be sure to get superb sound with the 40mm drivers and with the app you can customise to your requirements making these an exceptional pair of headphones for the money.

With the ANC turned on you can sit back and enjoy hassle free listening time be it for gaming movies podcasts and more the ANC works really well here and notable in comparison to other brands. try this test at home for yourself and you will notice a clear step in the ANC quality

With multipoint connectivity you can switch between two devices smoothly and for me is an important feature to have making life easy, calls are great nice a clear and with superb battery life and fast charging these are an easy recommendation from me and not expensive and as I have said before the cost to performance ratio has come along way with earbuds and now headphones meaning you do not need to spend silly money for great features and this is what you get here.

While the Tiny 2 Lite lacks some of the advanced features found in the premium Tiny 2, such as voice control and additional tracking modes, it still delivers a compelling package.
