Living with Asteroid OS - The open source Android Wear alternative

Living with Asteroid OS – The open source Android Wear alternative

Wearables, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Asteroid OS is an open source, Linux-based smartwatch OS developed primarily by a French student and hoping to take on the might of Android Wear — so does it stand a chance?

We strapped on an LG G Watch and installed Asteroid OS to put it through its paces and see whether this fledgling OS has what it takes to ruffle Google’s feathers. On paper it ticks all the right boxes, with some interesting ideas and a stylish-looking interface, so we’re hopeful that it can eventually emerge as a genuine Android Wear alternative.

Living with Asteroid OS

It’s important to bear in mind that Asteroid OS is currently at the alpha stage of its development, which is even earlier than beta. In other words, it’s not ready for the world at large, and so a lot of the bugs we noticed are to be expected with software at this point.

Who could be the winner between the new Umi Z and the Meizu Pro 6 !?

Phones, , , , ,

Umi Z is the new flagship from Umi. The mobile will be made out of metal with 3D nano cutting technology, with Helio X27 SoC and with the premium chipset NXP® TFA9890 for the sound.

Audio Technica AT-LP60-USB review

Audio & Video, , , , , ,

Two budget turntables scooped What Hi-Fi? Awards last year: the traditional Rega Planar 1 (£250/$375) and record-ripping Audio Technica AT-LP5 (£330/$495), both more than worthy of ‘My First Turntable’ status – for those that can afford the outlay, of course.

However, those with tighter purse strings didn’t have much choice beyond the four-star Lenco LP-85 (£120/$180). Or rather, they didn’t until now.

The Audio Technica AT-LP60-USB changes that, combining simple operation with a clean, balanced and organised sound and, like the aforementioned Audio Technica and Lenco, the ability to rip your vinyl to digital files.

And all for the price of a handful of albums.

Philips 901F OLED TV with Ambilight review: A cracking 4K OLED debut

Audio & Video, , , , , , , , ,

This year is fast shaping up to be the year of OLED, with a raft of hot new TV screens set to join LG’s vanishingly thin vanguard. Both Panasonic and Sony will offer high-end OLED screens as part of their 2017 line-ups, but the first brand convert out of the gate is Philips, with the 55-inch 9000 series 901F (or 55POS901F/12 to give it its full mouth-full-of-sandwiches moniker).

Philips aims to distinguish itself from the competition with its trademark Ambilight mood-lighting technology – which projects coloured light onto the surrounding walls, like an extension of the live image – and this transpires to be a very bright idea.

We’ve been testing an early review sample of the 901F and even after a long weekend of use switching it on still makes us giddy with excitement.

2017_Harley-Davidson_Dyna_LowRider

2015 – 2017 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider / Low Rider S Review

Cars, , , , ,

When the original FXS Low Rider hit showroom floors back in ’77, it was immediately popular and dominated Harley-Davidson sales. Based on the FX Super Glide, which was essentially a mishmash of parts from the big-frame FL and smaller XL (Sportster ) models, the FXS was the first attempt by the factory (under the blighted AMF banner) to emulate the look of the home-job customs that were popular at the time.

Since then, the FXS changed from the original, hard-mount frame to the rubber-mount, FXR frame in the early eighties, and has been built on the new, hybrid Dyna frame (FXDL) since ’91. Fast forward to 2017, and you can see The Motor Company hard at it to further improve and refine the Low Rider, and these latest versions are certainly the best yet. Read on to find out why.

Top 11 Best Sony E FE Mount Lenses 2017

Top 11 Best Sony E FE Mount Lenses 2017

Cameras, , , ,

As we’ve reviewed all of the Sony E-Mount and FE mount lenses to date, we thought we’d pop the 11 top scoring lenses into a list so you can easily see which are the best.

A little lens background 

You can use Full-Frame FE-mount lenses on APS-C Sony E-Mount cameras, and this will give you a 1.5x crop of the lens. For example, a full-frame 50mm lens will give the equivalent of a 75mm lens. You can also use APS-C E-mount lenses on full-frame Sony E-Mount cameras, and this will use a cropped area of the sensor, with the resolution of the image depending on the camera used. This will make an APS-C 50mm lens equivalent to 75mm.

iPhone vs Android : 14 Reasons iPhone is Better

Phones, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We’ll explain 15 reasons the iPhone is better than Android with a 2017 iPhone vs Android comparison that includes the newest iPhones and Android devices as well as Android 7.0 and iOS 10.

The iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus may not deliver super screen resolutions, but they hit the right notes for many buyers and with iOS 10 there are even more reasons the iPhone is better than Android for many users.

iPhone competition includes the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, One Plus 3, the LG V20 and other phones that deliver a bigger challenge for Apple — but there are still places where the iPhone is clearly better than Android and iOS 10 is better than Android Nougat.

Many of these could change with the Galaxy S8 and the LG G6 later this year, but for now – iPhone has an edge.

Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB NAS review : Incredible bang for the buck

Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB NAS review : Incredible bang for the buck

Wearables, , , , , , , , , ,

The single-bay, 3TB version of the Seagate Personal Cloud NAS box is in a class of its own in terms of value. It also offers surprisingly full-featured software, including IFTTT.

Kết quả hình ảnh cho Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB NAS

For simple setup and straightforward media sharing, Seagate’s Personal Cloud has no peer. It even manages to register itself on the network without user intervention. If that were all there was to it, it would be a great product. But populated with a 3TB hard drive for only $140? If you’re the competition, you’re crying foul. If you’re a consumer: Score!

Streaming, apps, and backup

The Personal Cloud’s multimedia features include the Seagate Media server, Plex Media Server, and Nero MediaHome server. Plex provides client playback apps for just about every computer and mobile device in existence, which picks up the slack that vendors such as Apple have left by not supporting DLNA. Seagate also provides its own multimedia playback apps, but the format support is weak compared to Plex’s. There’s also easy remote access to your box and its files via the company’s Sdrive web portal. Just browse the web portal, enter you username and password, and you have access.

2017 Chevy Malibu Hybrid Review

2017 Chevy Malibu Hybrid Review

Cars, , , , , ,

The 2017 Chevy Malibu is a far cry from the boring rental car option you spent three days in after a long flight. A stylish exterior and plenty of legroom combine with a good driving experience to check the boxes you need on a car you’ll own for years, instead of tolerating for a long weekend.

New for 2017 Chevy adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support to the base radio and adds in Teen Driver controls to the entry level option for more control over what your teen can do in the car when you aren’t riding shotgun.

The 2017 Malibu Hybrid delivers better fuel economy without taking performance down a notch. This car is comfortable for short and longer trips, but the batteries take away some trunk space so that is something you will need to keep in mind for any longer trips.

Nokia 6 VS Xiaomi Redmi 4 Comparisons Review

Phones, , , , , , , , , ,

Recently, at CES 2017, Nokia has officilally released Nokia 6 smartphone at 1,699 yuan, $283. Someone said Redmi 4 with Snapdragon 430 only sells at 699 yuan, $100, but Nokia 6 sells at much higher price, which makes us unacceptable. But others claim that Nokia 6 has nice design, and good specs, they will choose Nokia 6. So what’s the main difference between Nokia 6 and Redmi 4?

Currenlty, Nokia 6 only has one version, Redmi 4 has standard version and advanced version, and the standard version of Redmi 4 is equipped with same processor as Nokia 6.

You can check the specs comparison between Nokia 6 and Redmi 4. From the specs, they both are powered by Snapdragon 430 processor, but Redmi 4 with cheaper price have big gap with Nokia 6 in screen resolution, storage, camera, design, etc. If we want to compare, Redmi 4 advanced version will be more proper.

Hands-on with the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 G2 : A great, affordable telephoto lens with impressive optics and build

Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 Review: Field Test -- Gallery Image
600mm (900mm equiv.), f/6.3, 1/640s, ISO 360.

Introduction

Although the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 (Model A011) lens was released in December of 2013, not that long ago in terms of lenses, Tamron has opted to upgrade it to the new SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens (Model A022). The new version was redesigned from the ground up and features improvements to optics, autofocus, vibration compensation and more.

Note: During this review, I will be referencing different areas of performance, such as autofocus speeds, accuracy and optical qualities. I tested the Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens primarily on a Nikon D500 camera body, but I also tested it with a Nikon D800E for the purposes of evaluating optical quality.

Libratone One Click & One Style

Libratone pulled the rug from under its shiny, plastic rivals when it launched its cashmere-clad Beat portable speaker.

Six years on, the company is practically a veteran of the portable speaker maker family and models encased in natural fibres have become the exception rather than the rule.

Design

The One Style is very much part of the new rule. A minimalist – harsher critics may say, slightly bland – looking design, its standout feature is the thick rubber bumper that surrounds the chassis.

This frame also provides a handle with which you can carry the Libratone, as well as hang it up on a suitable chunky hook – kitchen pot rack, we’re looking at you here.

You can also remove the rubber frame – Libratone says that this enables you to personalise the unit, but we couldn’t find the frames for sale alone on its online store.

Infinix Zero 4 Plus Initial Hands-on Review : Zero to Hero?

Infinix Zero 4 Plus Initial Hands-on Review : Zero to Hero?

Phones, , , , ,

When we were invited to the office of Hellotronics, they had a bunch of devices for us to check out. While our attention was mostly diverted to the Nokia 6, we also made sure that we were able to book some time with the other smartphones they had on the table; one of those phones was the recently released Infinix Zero 4 Plus. Today, we’re going to be taking a quick look at the Zero 4 Plus to give you our initial thoughts on this big-screened device before putting it through its paces for its full review.

Initial Impressions: Zero’s Got Back

Infinix Mobile is no stranger to big-screened devices, their previous release prior to this one — the Note 3 Pro — was a 6-inch phablet, and the “Plus” tacked on to the big brother of the Infinix Zero 4 should clue you in that you’d be handling a rather big device with a considerable amount of heft as well.

Apparent similarities

Apparent similarities

Glance too fleetingly at the X100F and you might think nothing had changed, compared with the X100T. Or the X100S, the original X100 or the film rangefinders their styling harks back to. But, in keeping with continuous improvement approach (‘Kaizen’ if you must) Fujifilm appears to be adhering to, just about every aspect of the camera has been updated in some small way.

But is the sum of those changes enough to make it worth upgrading or to attract new customers?

New Sensor

The single biggest change to the X100F is the use of the latest 24MP sensor. As we’ve seen the the X-Pro2 and X-T2, it’s capable of some excellent results and is a bigger step forward from its 16MP cousins than the 22% increase in linear resolution would suggest.

Asus ROG Strix GL753 Review

Asus ROG Strix GL753 Review

Computers & IT, , , , , , , , , ,

If you’re looking for a gaming PC but don’t have the cash to drop on something that’s VR-ready, you can still find a laptop that will play most games. The Asus ROG Strix GL753 ($1,099 to start, $1,299 as tested) is one of the first notebooks on the market with Nvidia’s GTX 1050 Ti GPU, along with the company’s first RGB-backlit keyboard to add a bit of color. It’s a solid laptop, but other systems are on the way with similar specs for under $1,000.

Design

Asus took the awesome design that it uses with its premium ROG machines and dumbed it down for its budget models. The result is a plastic beast that’s more garish than sleek. The lid is made of black plastic with a faux-aluminum pattern, and while the premium machines have glowing lights on the sides of the logo, the company opted for orange neon paint on the lid of the Strix, making it look like a race car bed.

Which GPU is Right For You?

Which GPU is Right For You?

Computers & IT, Wearables, , , , , , , , , , ,

If a laptop’s brain is the CPU, than consider the GPU the occipital lobe. Responsible for rendering images, video and animations in either 2D or 3D for the display, the chip performs rapid mathematical computations, freeing up the processor for other tasks. Where a CPU consists of a few cores focused on sequential serial processing, GPUs pack thousands of smaller cores designed for multitasking.

nvidia gtx1080 gallery 3 large 775px

While your Intel Core i7 CPU can render graphics, it’ll do so at a much slower rate than a GPU. In fact, GPUs have so much power that some programs tap them into service to help out the CPU  on non-graphics tasks, which drastically increases speed and performance. That’s why every laptop, whether it’s designed for business, gaming or education, has some sort of GPU under the hood.

Onkyo TX-RZ1100 A/V Receiver Review

Audio & Video, , , , , ,

Onkyo must not have gotten the memo about Class D–powered audio gear being smaller, svelter, lighter. The company’s new topmodel-but-one TX-RZ1100 is an imposing object 8 inches tall, and while the receiver’s 43-pound weight poses no challenge to the seemingly 100-pounders of yesteryear, it’s not exactly nothing, either.

Nevertheless, the newest Onkyo is indeed a Class D design. The marketing materials refer to it as “Onkyo High-Current Digital Amplification,” which raises my hackles slightly since Class D isn’t “digital” in the digital-audio sense, but that is discussed in my recent online article about amplifiers (found at soundandvision.com). The TX-RZ1100 does have, however, a fully nine-channel layout, rated at 140 watts each with channels driven in pairs. That’s a lot of pretty substantial channels for any receiver, whatever the topology, and it explains both the unit’s overall heft and the weighty-on-its-own, rather un-Class-D-like power transformer I found residing inside.

2017 Dodge Challenger GT AWD First Drive: Four-season Grand Touring in an affordable retro package

Cars, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In the mid 1960’s a talented group of engineers in West Bromwich, England, dared to ask the question ‘why can’t a muscle car spin all four wheels?’ The end result was the Jensen FF, the first production vehicle to feature AWD, and a coupe that just happened to be hiding a 383 cubic inch Chrysler V8 under the hood. Flash forward 50 years and the Pentastar has picked up the torch once again in the form of the 2017 Dodge Challenger GT AWD, which throws down nearly the same gauntlet at the rear-wheel drive-only options from Ford (the Mustang) and Chevrolet (the Camaro).

In many ways the Challenger GT is a no-brainer. Dodge’s retro-themed coupe shares its LX platform with the four-door Dodge Charger sedan, which has long offered an all-wheel drive option. Porting the system to its equally-hefty two-door sibling presented no significant technical hurdles for FCA’s design team to overcome, other than updating the vehicle’s suspension to deal with the extra 200 lbs or so of weight brought on by the transfer case et al.

The Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X is a prime example of how to make a great thing better. Building off of the impressive sound and supreme comfort of Sennheiser’s PC373D, the 37X offers an even sleeker design, improved drivers and more versatility thanks to its analog audio cables. The $119 PC37X is an excellent buy for both competitive and casual gamers looking to hear every last detail, though getting your hands on one is a bit tricky.

Design

The Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X is a more unassuming version of the already-sleek PC373D, trading the latter headset’s red highlights for a simple but attractive all-black look that will blend into any setup. The headset touts Sennheiser’s signature open-back earcup design, which allows for huge sound at the expense of some audio bleed.

The JamVoice’s speaker is better than what you get with an Amazon Echo Dot, but that benefit is negated by the need to push a button to summon Alexa.

Kết quả hình ảnh cho Jam Voice Bluetooth Speaker with Amazon Alexa

Amazon is enabling lots of other manufacturers to build their own hardware that taps its cloud-based digital assistant, Alexa. That’s a smart strategy if Amazon’s objective is to make Alexa ubiquitous in the smart home and home entertainment markets. But the online retailer should also be careful not to allow too many subpar products like Jam Audio’s Jam Voice to be associated with the Alexa brand.

Even after Jam Audio slashed the Jam Voice’s asking price from $79.99 to $59.99 in the wake of the $129 Google Home and Amazon’s own $49.99 Echo Dot, the Jam Voice is merely a so-so product. And in a market where the competition is so good, being only so-so is a big no-no.

With fifth gear clicked, the front wheel starts to reach for the sky. Unfazed, the throttle stays pinned, ready for the wheel to eventually come back to earth. The wait feels like forever, and my view is increasingly filled with sky instead of tarmac. I can’t wait for the Honda’s wheelie control any longer, so a click to sixth gently brings the front Bridgestone back to the ground. The Fireblade flexes its muscles, tickling 180 mph down the straight. Then it’s time to scrub speed down the hill before hitting the dip signaling the apex of turn 1. The short chute to reach turn 2 is quickly gobbled up before a moderate amount ofbrakes are applied to navigate through the hairpin. From there, it’s another flick to the left, and we’re driving uphill towards the crest of turn 3, knee on the ground, rear tirespinning ever so slightly.

Mini Countryman S 2017 first drive: Mighty improvements for the massive Mini?

Cars, , , , , , , ,

Do you remember the exact moment that every manufacturer scrambled to add a high-riding SUV to their line-up? It was around the time the Nissan Qashqai started to become a runaway sales success and as a result, all sorts of bizarre shapes started to appear on forecourts.

Not content with simply creating a fun, quirky and stylish hatchback, Mini started to expand its model line-up in 2007, first with with the launch of the Clubman and then the larger Countryman in 2010.

The idea was to entice those families wanting a trendy small car but who also demanded the chunky body addenda, additional space and raised driving position afforded by rival SUVs.

 It has always been a slightly odd proposition, because the Countryman isn’t actually that spacious, the suspension isn’t jacked-up enough to warrant any proper off-roading and, to some eyes, it’s hideously ugly.

Zyxel Armor Z2 AC2600 Wireless Router review

Wearables, , , , ,

The Armor Z2 is Zyxel’s most high-end product to date in its networking portfolio, which includes a range of NAS units, extenders and power line adaptors as well as a number of products aimed at business users. Although the company is not quite as big or well known as some networking brands, previous Zyxel kit we’ve looked as usually been quite nifty, often with a feature or two that stands out, good performance and decent value for money as well.

So we had high hopes when setting up the Armor Z2, a dual-band 802.11ac wireless router that supports most of the latest networking features offered by its competition. After considerable testing and use, we’re please to say the Armor Z2 met our expectations.

Crosley Keepsake review

Audio & Video, ,

We’ve seen it time and time again in films; a character opens a stolen suitcase and instead of the small fortune they expect to be inside they’re faced with rocks or blank paper.

The ensuing disappointment somewhat mirrors our own upon encountering the suitcase-style Crosley Keepsake turntable. Perhaps our revelation shouldn’t have come as a surprise after our experience with the two-star Crosley Cruiser (£80/$120).

Its performance left much to be desired, and due to its cartridge’s unusually heavy tracking weight (over 7g when around 2g is more typical), we felt it might eventually ruin your record collection.

Its big brother, the Keepsake, is guilty of the same crimes, which is a pity considering it gets thumbs up for both its design and its features.

Indeed, without further scrutiny, one may be forgiven for glancing at the Keepsake’s spec sheet and crying out ‘bargain’ with gleeful ignorance.
