Hands on: Panasonic Toughpad FZ-N1 review

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

Panasonic had a brief stint in the consumer smartphone market with the Eluga range and the Lumix DMC-CM1, but both proved to be underwhelming products prompting the Japanese company to swiftly exit that market (except for India and Japan) and focus on the more lucrative enterprise, ruggedized smartphone arena with its Toughpad brand.

The Android-powered FZ-N1 was launched earlier this year at MWC and is available as a Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise smartphone (the FZ-F1).

panasonic-7-650-80

Funnily enough, Panasonic calls it an electronic tablet rather than a phablet or a smartphone, which makes sense given that there’s one version with Wi-Fi only. It has the same footprint as an Apple iPhone 6 Plus although it is far thicker thanks to a unique feature.

It integrates a bulky 1D/2D barcode reader with a Class-2 1mW laser, one powerful enough to produce a visible red cross (see below). This isn’t as cool as the heat sensor on the Cat S60, but it’s probably far more useful for most end-users such as warehouse operators.

Orion Onyx Review: Star Trek communicator fumbles its prime directive

Audio & Video, ,

As product ideas go, “the Star Trek communicator, made real” requires little explanation. Orion Labs’ Onyx aims to keep our smartphones in our pockets and bags where they belong, and return us to the halcyon days of push-to-talk or – if you’re old enough to remember them – walkie-talkies by getting us into group conversations again.

This is actually Orion Labs’ second attempt at a communicator-style device. The first-generation “Onyx Classic” was a lot less glamorous – think “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” type panic button for the elderly – though the concept was much the same.

PMC Twenty5.22 review

Audio & Video, , , ,

Let’s cut straight to the chase: we think the PMC Twenty5.22 speakers look lovely and sound astounding.

They are part of the new PMC Twenty5 range, built to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary and boasting a complete upgrade on the popular PMC Twenty series, which continues on as the entry-level range.

From new drivers and crossovers to a brand new technology, PMC has pulled out all the stops to make sure these £2450/$3675 stereo speakers are the best they’ve ever been.

Build

PMC+Twenty5+22+and+Chromey+(8+of+12)

While we’re inundated with plenty of smart-looking speakers, the PMC Twenty5.22s are just cool. Maybe it’s the glint of metal surrounding the mid/bass driver.

Maybe it’s the mirrored panel at the back of the speakers, with new single-wired terminals that are satisfying to plug into.

Asus Q524UQ Review

Asus Q524UQ Review

Computers & IT, ,

Q524UQ

Don’t be fooled by the Asus Q524UQ’s good looks. Behind the $1,100 2-in-1’s dark-chocolate frame and pretty copper hinges are a giant bezel surrounding the 15-inch display; a slow, old-school HDD; and a mushy keyboard set too far back into the case. Those who want a ton of storage out of the box might like the 2TB hard drive (despite its lack of speed), and proponents of the new USB Type-C will enjoy Thunderbolt 3 compatibility, but there are far better convertibles in this price range.

What are the sharpest lenses for each camera system?

What are the sharpest lenses for each camera system?

Cameras, , , , ,

We consult DxOMark’s comprehensive optical test data to find the sharpest lenses for each camera system. Andy Westlake is your guide

Sigma’s 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art and the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4: two of the sharpest lenses currently available

A question often posed by photographers is: ‘What’s the sharpest lens I can buy for my camera?’ In reality this can only properly be answered by examining lens tests that have been carried out in a reliable and repeatable way. It’s also a question that needs to be qualified. Do you want a wideangle or a telephoto, a zoom or a prime? What’s your budget? With all this in mind, we decided to provide some kind of sensible answer anyway.

Although we’ve tested more lenses than ever over the past couple of years, we’ve had to accept that even that’s not enough to provide a useful answer. For this reason, we’ve teamed up with DxOMark, one of the most respected names in the photographic industry, to sift through its extensive database of lens-test data in order to pick out the sharpest optics for each major camera system.

Honda Jazz v Suzuki Baleno comparison

Honda Jazz v Suzuki Baleno comparison

Cars, ,

If you’re in the market for a city-friendly car that’s bigger inside than you’d think, then look no further: the 2016 Honda Jazz and the 2016 Suzuki Baleno are here to help.

Honda Jazz v Suzuki Baleno comparison

As we’ve come to find out, both of these city cars – the Honda built in Thailand and the Suzuki built in India – have above-average interior space, meaning both will likely appeal to buyers who want a light car that isn’t light on practicality.

There are some differences between what powers these two, and the prices that each of the respective brands is asking for them.

OPPO F1s Review

Phones, , , , , , ,

Just as a book is easy to judge by its cover, it’s only too easy to judge smartphones by their design and their price. A device that looks like an iPhone with an almost dirt-cheap price tag? Gotta be a cheap knock-off coming from China. That is the stereotype that Chinese OEMs like OPPO face, especially when their smartphones, like the OPPO F1s, do really look like an Apple or even a Samsung flagship. But just like in real life, some things deserve a second, sometimes even third, look. Which is why we gave the OPPO F1s, the new, self-proclaimed “Selfie Expert”, a thorough inspection, and we’re glad we did. Read on to find out why.

Filson-Smokey-Bear-Watch

Filson Smokey Bear Watch – By Shinola – Review

Wearables, , ,

Filson is an American maker of men’s goods which since 2012 has been owned by the same group that owns Detroit-based watch and goods maker Shinola – a further familial (but not directly connected) relation to also American company Fossil. That’s just a little bit of background information intended to help frame the nature, purpose, and particular reasons behind a watch that I actually have a lot to say about. The Filson Smokey Bear Watch is among the stranger timepieces I’ve written about lately – and that comes from someone known to be extremely open-minded to avant-garde design. In its own special way, this limited-edition watch is a true collector’s item just by virtue of how seemingly random it with is (yet with a lot of effort put into it). Moreover, this is perhaps one of the few $1,000 watches probably not worth its $1,000 price that I would nevertheless say is worth buying for $1,000.

Coolpad Mega 2.5D review : Great looks, good enough performance

Coolpad Mega 2.5D review : Great looks, good enough performance

Phones, , , ,

There has recently been an influx of smartphones in and around the Rs 7,000 mark that are changing the way we perceive budget smartphones. These devices are no longer built using outdated pieces of hardware, and are quickly pushing the boundaries of what all can be offered at a tight budget. It is at this price point that Coolpad recently launched the Mega 2.5D. The smartphone is aimed at the selfie-loving crowd, but at the same time is also capable of tempting those who are conscious about how their phones look. The Coolpad Mega 2.5D was launched in India last week for Rs 6,999 and will be going on sale exclusively via Amazon India from August 24. Here’s our review.

TURING PHONE DARK WYVERN REVIEW

TURING PHONE DARK WYVERN REVIEW

Phones, , , , , , ,

Turing Robotics seems to be banking heavily on the Turing Phone. Not only has the company delayed the release of the device for months upon months, but it even completely changed the operating system, going from Android to the somewhat unknown Sailfish OS — a very risky move for a company that’s still building a name for itself. Since news of the phone first broke — with a fairly lean website that kept using odd words like ‘liquidmorphium’ – we were skeptical.

Sure, the device is touted as ultra-secure and ultra-strong, but that alone isn’t enough to catapult a phone to victory. We’ve used the Turing Phone for the past week or so to see how it stacks up in the increasingly competitive smartphone landscape.

StormForce Tornado review

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

There’s rarely a better time to buy a new pre-built gaming PC than following the launch of a new generation of graphics cards. Pascal is Nvidia’s most interesting GPU architecture in some time, if not ever, representing a true generational leap over its predecessor, Maxwell.

The StormForce Tornado comes with the new GTX 1070, which sits in the middle of the Nvidia’s triumvirate of Pascal cards alongside the GTX 1060 and GTX 1080. StormForce has twinned the GPU with components that allow for excellent performance at 1080p and beyond. There’s even enough grunt for VR and 4K gaming – though you’ll have to dial the settings down a notch or two depending on the game for the latter.

It can be pre-ordered online for £899 (around $1,180/AUS$1,540) and is set to be released on September 1.

2016 Bentley Flying Spur Review: Lavish is an understatement

Cars, , , , , ,

The Bentley Flying Spur is over seven feet wide. Wider, in fact, than a Hummer H1. Just twenty inches narrower than a Smart car is long. Ironically for a marque so closely associated with Britain, that makes the Flying Spur singularly unsuited for a great many British roads. And, with a price tag easily ten times that of the Smart – and dwarfing even the cost of a full tank of gas for the Humvee – it’s not something you want to scrape along one of the ancient stone walls you suddenly notice the UK has in abundance when you’re driving a borrowed behemoth.

It may be my country of birth, but tackling British roads after living – and driving – for some years in the US takes some mental readjustment, doubly so when you’re straight off the plane and into a £191,190 ($249k) car.

Sony Xperia XR vs Xperia X Performance vs Xperia X: What’s the rumoured difference?

The next Sony Xperia flagship is expected to be announced at the beginning of September at consumer electronics show IFA.

It has leaked several times over the last couple of months as both the Xperia XR and the Xperia F8331, but we are going to call it the former for the sake of this feature.

We’ve compared the rumoured specs of the Xperia XR to the Xperia Z5 in a 1 Comment, but here we are looking at how the Xperia XR compares to the Xperia X and Xperia X Performance, based on the speculation.

Finding Compatible USB-C Accessories is a Total Crapshoot

Finding Compatible USB-C Accessories is a Total Crapshoot

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

USB Type-C is mainstream now. HP and Apple put the new standard on their high-end laptops exclusively, while a number of others are using both USB 3.0 and USB-C. Samsung added USB Type-C to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which ensures that we’ll see it on a ton of phones going forward.

charger

In theory, this should be awesome. You can use USB Type-C for charging, transferring data, putting video on external monitors, listening to music and more. And, most famously, it’s reversible.

But using USB Type-C with third-party accessories hasn’t proven to be the seamless experience it should be. I’ve been trying out a number of USB Type-C docks, chargers and other peripherals, only to find that, when it comes to charging and Alternate Mode for video, they work on a case-by-case basis (we haven’t had the same issues with data transfer).

Sony UHP-H1 Hi-Res-Certified Blu-ray Player

Video is usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think Blu-ray, but Sony has gone out of its way to build a player that puts audio and video performance on equal footing—and maybe even gives audio an edge. The Hi-Res Audio–certified UHP-H1 is built to withstand vibration and equipped to play just about any file or disc you throw at it—including SACDs and DSD or 192-kilohertz/24-bit music files. It also has built-in Wi-Fi and supports Bluetooth streaming via Sony’s LDAC codec for “higher-than-typical” bit rates. And it’s no slouch in the video department, either, offering 4K upscaling at up to 60 hertz (though no compatibility with the new UHD Blu-ray Discs).

Get Connected: When you’re not connected wirelessly, you can choose between optical and analog inputs or play Hi-Res files via the front-panel USB port. Price: $350

Here’s Your First Look at Fitbit’s New Trackers

Wearables, , , , , , , , , ,

Fitbit is making some big changes to its bread-and-butter fitness trackers, according to leaked images from TechnoBuffalo. Photos of the Fitbit Charge 2 and the Fitbit Flex 2, both successors to two-year-old devices, reveal a sleeker look, and in the case of the Flex 2, a swim-proof design.

Credit: TechnoBuffalo/Fitbit

The Charge 2 has a much larger display than the original Fitbit Charge, and takes a lot of design cues from the Fitbit Alta, released earlier this year. The Charge 2 also has an optical heart rate monitor, which seems to indicate that Fitbit will be dropping the “HR” from its naming convention, as was the case with the older Charge HR (versus the Charge). Other features include all-day activity and sleep tracking, interchangeable bands, and smartwatch notifications.

Mini John Cooper Works review: Mini by name, maxed-out by nature

Cars, , , , ,

The Cooper Car company was founded in Surbiton in 1947. Charles Cooper and his son John began building racing cars that eventually changed the face of F1. In 1961, John Cooper conceived the first faster-and-tuned Mini, which dominated rallying in the 1960s. The rest, as they say, is history.

Cooper is a name that became synonymous with Mini, and in 2000, John’s son, Michael Cooper, founded John Cooper Works, which made racing tuning parts for the reborn, BMW-built Mini. In 2008, BMW bought the company outright and now the John Cooper Works Mini is built in the Mini factory in Oxford.

So is the fastest, highest performance stock Mini you can buy worth the extra outlay?

Nissan BladeGlider first drive: Madcap concept hints at all-electric sports car future

Cars, , , ,

It’s almost 34-degrees Celsius and we’re standing at the edge of a rickety karting circuit that’s located around 50-miles outside the centre of Rio de Janeiro. No, this isn’t the Olympics, this is our real-world induction to the Nissan BladeGlider.

The BladeGlider is bizarre looking sports car, featuring a skinny track at the front and a wider track at the rear that gives it the appearance of a motorised arrow head.

There’s a burly looking policeman guarding the gates to the track and every now and then the sound of human flesh sizzling under the fierce sun is interrupted by the high-pitched whine of its electric motor and the squealing of tortured rubber. It pounds the tight circuit with two rather bemused and behelmeted individuals belted into the rear seats.

For 2016, Ball introduces this handsome steel-cased version of the Ball Trainmaster Standard Time watch that aBlogtoWatch originally debuted in 18k rose gold back in 2013. At the time, the less than $7,500 gold-cased watch was a veritable bargain compared to the price of other gold watches out there, and its classic pocket watch style made for an enduring and friendly conservative design.

Ball was instrumental in the formation of the American railroad industry – which relied to a large extent on everyone agreeing what time it was. The original Ball Trainmaster Standard Time was said to be a celebration of the adoption of standard time in America, which is why the timepiece has this name. Now, in 2016, the Ball Trainmaster Standard Time is back in a nicely polished steel case offered on both a matching steel bracelet or a leather strap – the price isn’t bad either.

Hands on: HP Elite x3 review

Windows phones aren’t in a good place, with its awfully slow rollout, limited app support and Microsoft’s own underwhelming handsets. HP wants to turn the tide with its new business-focused Elite x3 phablet.

This massive phone promises to be your all-in-one device for your computing needs.

HP Elite x3-4-650-80

The 5.96-inch phablet comes well stocked with a 2.15GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of DDR4 RAM. That’s more than enough power to drive your average smartphone, and that’s because HP has designed the x3 to work in three different modes.

Like the Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950XL, you can hook this handset up to an external monitor for a desktop experience. What’s more, the Elite x3 can power HP’s new, Wi-Fi controlled laptop, called the Mobile Extender, when you need a mobile workstation.

While the consumer market is gradually warming to 4K and ultra-widescreen formats and to larger sizes, it is the business sector that could see some interesting developments.

The most intriguing one has been the slow rise of standalone, desk-bound touchscreen monitors, and one of the latest offerings, the HannsG HT225 HPB, caught our attention because of its price and the features it offers.

Dali Opticon 2 review

Audio & Video, , , , ,

Unlike the jobsworth accountant, Dali speakers tend to make having fun their number one priority, as many an hour spent tapping our feet to 1970s disco tracks through a pair of the Danish company’s speakers will attest.

From the entry-level Zensor 1 speakers, right the way up to the high-ranging Epicon 8 and the Opticon 1 and 6 models, the company’s speakers are often a guarantee of good times.

These Dali Opticon 2 speakers – the larger of the two standmount speakers in the company’s midrange line-up – are no exception.

opticon-2-white-finish

With a name like ‘Opticon’, you may expect them to be all muscle and authority, but while they are indeed attributes, Dali only makes a point of wanting the range to be a ‘true’ Dali speaker series. And aren’t they just.
