Everything you need to secure your home and more!
on August 9, 2022
Posted by: GEJF
This is a wonderful combo as well as a nice design for your home! I used to have my video Doorbell, and my door lock in two separate pieces which was working fine, but the batteries on the doorlock were depleted in a month because of the continuous access and it was even worst when I had visitors. My doorbell also didn’t have good resolution video. However, it seems to me that the Lockly engineers have thought of every single detail that the customer wants on a door lock, and I have to say that there is nothing missing.
Starting by the fact that comes with not only one, but 2 Lithium Lockly Batteries that are been charged solar cells located in the Lockly door lock. It has 4 ways to access: fingerprint, code, key and app control, door sensor, motion alert, guest access profile, video recording storage LOCALLY! (no fees of any kind, it will be stored in a 32Gb sd Card), night vision, video doorbell with 2 way audio mic. Honestly it is hard to say which one is my favorite, but I would say that at last I don’t need to replace batteries anymore.
So, I have to admit that at the beginning I felt a little bit overwhelmed when I opened the package and saw all the parts. However if you take 20 minutes of your time to check the instructions, and follow them closely, you will be finished in about 45 minutes the whole process, installation and configuration, which is not configuration per say, but most how to use the app, and I guarantee you that it is totally worth it.
So before you order one, first you will need to determine which type of length deadbolt you will need for your door, I found 2 options, 60mm or 70mm, mine was the 60mm. It is really easy to check it with a ruler. Next, as soon as you open the box, locate the Battery and its own charger cable, which is a USB to USB-C cable. This is important because it is not any USB cable, the USB-C connector has a blinking light that once it becomes solid it will tell you the battery is fully charged, and don’t use the white USB power adapter that comes with the unit because that one you will need it later for the hub. Try to find a generic USB Power adapter that is pretty common nowadays with the cell phones and let it charge. The reason why I have pointed this out is because it will take around 5 hours to fully charge the battery, and it is important that it is fully charged for the correct operation in the long run with the solar cell charging mode. But to start and configure you can use the second Battery that comes with the unit and have enough power to complete the setting, until the first battery completes the charging process.
I would say that we can split this process in two stages. First, the physical installation of the Doorlock, and second, the registration and app setting.
The installation can be done by one person, the front unit comes with 3M mounting tape, the purpose of it is to help you keep in place until you can secure it with the bolts, the same for the metal plate that goes at the back. From the front panel comes 3 cables, and one more cable from the deadbolt lock, which is the door sensor that will work with the magnetic plate that you want to install on the doorframe. This sensor will tell the app if the door is open or closed, and I am not talking about lock or unlock feature. I needed to carve a little bit on the door frame in order to install the magnetic plate, but nothing difficult.
So, just follow the instructions to wire the cables correctly, so they wont to be damaged when you screw the unit, and make sure to connect the 4 cables. There are 2 identical, but the red dot will let you know which one is the right one. Finally, once it is fully mounted, the Lockly unit and the magnetic plate on the doorframe, with the door close and the deadbolt fully extended, install the Battery and with the pin provided, press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds, or until the beeping sound stops. Every time that you change the Battery you will have to run this process. You will not need to replace the Battery but in this case don’t forget you are charging the other one that is the one you want to use fully charged. There is a little black screw to secure the battery on the top right side. The standard setting for the autolock is 20 seconds, (I changed mine to 10sec). The first time, it will lock with the door open when the time has been reached, but once it detects the magnet on the doorframe when you close the door, it will lock from now on once you close the door. So if you unlock and open the door, the countdown starts at the moment the magnet is not detected, but it will lock or extend the deadbolt when you close the door(magnet detected). That is the reason why the magnet is important to have installed, so it will not damage your doorframe. (another well though design)
Now the second stage, and this is the easy part because it is very intuitive. First you install the app, the Lockly app can be found either on Apple or Android, I have installed both. During the installation use the 798 model listed, then will ask you to locate the unit. The hub (The 32GB SD memory is installed in the HUB) should go wired connected via LAN to your router and not too far from the Lockly doorlock. The connectivity between the Hub and the Doorlock is wireless, and both are a team. Once the Hub is connected to your router, the app will ask you to scan the QR code of the hub located at the base under the hub, and that is it. The setting process will continue by creating your profile and a numeric access code for your door.
Something that I would like to ask to the engineers is what will happen once the 32GB of total date is reached, will start to delete the old record? Can I install a bigger SD card?, like 256 and will the HUB and App recognize it?
The rest is very intuitive, but I will like to remark the following settings, based on the android app (the apple app has different terms for the same functions (which I found odd BTW), Under Camera Settings/Live View Recording should be ON. Smart Alert/Push Notification I enabled everything. Smart Alert/ Motion Detection Enable, Motion Detection Zone Medium (this is the range 3 6 9 feet of the desirable notification sensitivity), Motion Detection duration 5s, Video Recording trigger 10s and Video recording duration 15s. You can increase or decrease these values, but these are the default settings that have worked fine for me so far. To increase or decrease these values may cause, as it will warn you, more unnecessary Battery usage and an excess of notifications to your phone.
As soon as you open the app you will see to main options, the live video, and the lock/unlock feature. The live video, allows you to see who is in front of the camera and chat via the two way-audio/mic communication. And while you are doing that it will record the video and audio chat automatically. If someone stands in front of your door for 5 seconds it will generate an alert to your phone, if someone rings the doorbell, it will generate an alert and if you grab the alert it will open the app to take you to the video chat. (Did I mention that it comes with 2 plates for signaling the location of the new doorbell button to be pasted where the old one was located?)
It has infrared for night vision, 3 little red light will come up during the night if you stand in front of the doorbell.
You can set up your fingerprint, for you and many others, different code access, create group access, etc, and in the worst case scenario, let's say the unit stops working for any reason, you just move cover of the solar cell and will have the regular key access. And if you don’t feel 100% reliable with the security or may think that somebody will try to hack it, you can move down a little button that is on the inside section of the Lockly, and it will disable any way to unlock the system either with the app or code or finger print, another very well though design from these engineers.
There is only one con I have found, but I think the solution is a matter of a future update of the app. The time of the live video is off with the actual date. For some odd reason it shows a day and a half in advance, I hope the engineers correct this in the near future.
Overall this is a truly amazing product that I have been lucky to test it thoroughly and I am very pleased with this.

Unexpected & pleasant surprise for 1/4 the cost!
on June 22, 2022
Posted by: GEJF
With only a quarter of the cost of the most expensive brands I was surprise to see how well these earphones worked, and the design is well thought of as well. Very light, no brainer to put them on, no complicated twist or adjustments or calibrations, just put the earphones inside your ears, the silicone earpiece will adjust in your ear cavity and it will hold firmly with no concern that they will fall down.
The setup is super easy, just take them out of the case. They will power on automatically just look in you cell phone for new BT devices, it will show as JVC HA-A30T, pair and that’s it. You are ready to enjoy the music or take phone calls. One of the cool things I noticed is the single-side use.
I was able to talk on both the left or right earpiece. This is very useful so I don’t have to pay attention to which one I have to take for the use of one when I want to make phone call or attend meetings.
It comes with a short USB to USB-C cable that will allow you the charge the device. It does not include the ac adapter. It comes with extra 3 pair of silicon earpieces in different sizes. The Battery power, on continuous playback, will last around 7 hours with the ANC enable, and little more than that when is disable. Full charge time of the case is about 2 hours and will keep the power for 20 hours. If the Battery on the earphone is completely depleted, 10 min will charge enough to provide 75 min on continuous playback. This is another cool feature, lets say you go to the gym and you realized the earphones and Battery depleted, just put in the case and for 10 min and you can have them working at once.
The sound is very good, the Bass by default is enough, I didn’t need to enable the bass boost. Very clear voice and good treble definition. For Phone calls, left earphone supports microphone mute with one tap, that is very handy, and I was able to use the microphone with only one side on either the left or right.
The case is very small and portable so you can carry it in you pocket and will not be noticeable. The Active Noise cancelling work really well too, very effective while I was working at home with my family making noise around. The operation is pretty similar to the other brands. I think it’s like a default, but basically is as follows:
Automatically power on when they are taken out of the case
1 tap left play, pause
2 taps left Volume Down
3 taps left Volume Up
2 taps left Volume Down
3 taps left Volume Up
1 tap right Noise cancelling on/off
2 taps right Next Song
3 taps right Previous Song
2 taps right Next Song
3 taps right Previous Song
Press and hold Right ANC mode on /off
Press and hold Left BASS BOOST mode on/off
Long press for 3 seconds Power ON/OFF
For single ear mode, the operation is the same on either one.
Long press for 3 seconds Power ON/OFF
For single ear mode, the operation is the same on either one.
Sound Performance and phone calls are very good, operation is intuitive, easy and battery life is great, I have no regrets with this earphones. This is money well spent because the earphones are great quality that will last me a long time I recommend it to anyone looking for a good pair of earphones.

Cube GPS Tracker can be placed discretely in your vehicle so you can track where it goes, how long it spends there, and at what speed it travels. Cube gathers data via GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cell tower triangulation then reports the data back via the LTE-M data plan. Plans start at $16.50/Month.; Ideal for theft recovery, fleet tracking or just keeping an eye on your valuables. Cube GPS can be hardwired into vehicles using optional OBD II plug or wired directly to the battery with the hardwire kit.; Thieves today know exactly where to go to disable the factory GPS on newer cars. Cube GPS can be a backup plan to help with recovery. Even if the thief removes the cables from the battery the Cube will still report using its own battery for up to two weeks.

Reliable and Multipurpose GPS Tracker
on May 25, 2022
Posted by: GEJF
What I like the most about this GPS tracker is its convenience to be placed anywhere. Its small, solid, long lasting Battery (specs states from 10-60 days depending on the configuration), can be discretely placed in the car or any other place you want it. You can carry with you, in case you are in a country where you don’t feel safe, you can put in your bag while you are traveling in case you are not feeling confident with the airline baggage service, so the GPS coverage is worldwide, or you can attach it to your pet while you are walking and have peace of mind if he got lost.
But basically if your car is stolen, this is the device you want to locate it. It is very accurate, and because it has its own battery, it doesn’t mater if the thieves disconnect the Battery of the vehicle, whenever is hidden the Tracker it it will continue providing the location. You can hardwire in the car with the USB-micro USB cable that comes with the device, and then look for the way to hide it in the car, so it will not run off battery.
The setup is pretty simple, just follow the instructions, first you install the Cube Tracker app, this can be found either Apple Store or Google Play. Create an account. It is going to ask you the payment method. $16.50 is reasonable, I am paying the same amount for the Kahu lojack GPS tracker service, I have installed in my car, and doesn’t have the advantage that this Cube tracker offers, where I can use it anywhere. Besides, the monthly data plan doesn’t have a fee for cancelling or restart the service, which is very convenient.
Then, you have to give it permission locations all the time, press and hold until it beeps the button to pair it via Bluetooth with the app, and finally add the serial number of the device and that is all.
One cool thing I noticed is that the app comes with the option to make it ring, in case you are looking for it.
The app offers some other options, like create a virtual fence, so if the vehicle left the boundaries you have set up, the app will alert you, SOS Button so you can send a prerecorded text message along with your location to your family and friends.
I think this is a very convenient, Multipurpose and affordable device that will give you peace of mind.

Great “hybrid” experience!
on February 12, 2022
Posted by: GEJF
from Las Vegas, NV
This is my first time trying a Hybrid mattress and I honestly I didn’t know what to expect. When the mattress arrived, it came in a box of 46x16x16 inches rolled up, really heavy so I honestly wasn’t sure of what kind of performance it could will provide. When I opened the box, and read the instructions, there were only 4 basic lines, a very easy setup. It came enclosed with 2 plastic packages, the first one is to protect it, and the second one you will open only when the “mattress” is placed on the bed. Once you break the second plastic cover, the mattress immediately starts to ‘inflate”, so it is vacuum packed. And within few minutes it reached its normal dimensions for the queen size I ordered. I will say that to reach the full size it may take a few more hours.
It is heavy, which is a good thing because it is telling me the materials which it is made are reliable and durable, it really feels good quality, and after sleeping several nights I can I can tell how good it feels comparing to my old regular mattress. I can feel the difference. The support and cushion provides a high feeling of comfort and relaxation. I can feel how my back relax and rest when lay down facing up. The mattress feels solid but not too hard on my back. Very different from the bouncy and lightweight mattress I had before. The mattress slowly adjust to the shape of my body as I lie down. I 100% recommend this mattress to anyone looking for a good nights sleep.

It is like watching the Mission Impossible movie!!
on January 23, 2022
Posted by: GEJF
from Nevada
I have been a Ray-Ban sunglasses fan for years. My grandfather was a commercial pilot, so he had an envy huge Ray-Ban collection of different models, as well as my dad, so let’s say I have no choice but to inherit their preference, but to be honest, they have proved to be great quality, reliable, always stylish and durable. These are my first transitions G-15 model. Ray-Ban definitely stood up with this New technologically improved Wayfarer model and has moved to the digital modern era successfully. With the traditional wayfarer model that we are all very familiar, (bring me back many memories from the Baywatch show) even with all the included technology, something that I will talk about later, the frame is not bulky, it keeps close to the original dimensions and design, just slightly thick on the temple, and that is something that I like the most, comparing to other very expensive brands where the temple is thick and bulky and make them noticeable that are not regular Sunglasses, so it can hold the new technology but noticeable what makes it not stylish at all.
Let’s highlight the cool things, Bluetooth Headsets for playing music and calls, 5MP Dual Camera for video and pictures, specs states 6 hours of Battery while moderately used, however after some test is a little less than that and while recording videos will last 2 ½ hours. Charging case, Facebook View App for managing and store the pics and videos, Sun Glare/UV High protection, Transition G-15 lenses. The light-responsive sun lenses changes from Clear to green as you move between indoors and outdoors.
As I mentioned before, they kept the classy and stylish wayfarer model, and that is what I like the most. The audio quality is good and decent, maybe a little flat, but that is something that you should expect since they are open-ear speakers, however for me is perfect, I have tinnitus and it has been always a concern the high pitch notes while using earphones. Since the last years I stopped using them because of that concern because i didn't want to make worse my audition, but with these Sunglasses I felt more confident that the sound will not harm my already broken audition while playing my mp3 songs. I can switch between taking a call and listen music. The 3 built-in microphones allows to register the sound effectively for the calls and while recording videos, and of course you can take good pictures as well. You don't have to carry your phone with you while you are recording or taking pictures, it will sync when the Sunglasses are in the BT range of your phone.
The format of the video is square, and the quality of the pictures is a little bit better than the videos, but the final outcome is very good. So basically you ended up having 4 in one, great eye protective sunglasses, music player, phone, video recording, everything in a good looking sunglasses.
A fully charged frame will capture and sync up to 50 videos, or up to 200 photos. It can store 4GB or lets say 500 photos or videos capped at 30 sec.
I am personally convinced that Ray-Ban has reached the point where their Smart Glasses looked like their great conventional sunglasses doing an excellent work with the included technology without sacrificing the style and look just like we have seen in the SCFI movies.

Anker did it again!Powerful,nice, wireless charger
on November 27, 2021
Posted by: GEJF
from Nevada
This charger really exceeded my expectations. It’s very elegant, the quality feels good, and has a powerful and dual charging action. I have charged my iphone 12 and 13 and Pixel 6 pro with it and this charger delivers as expected. Once it magnetically grips to the phone you can feel confident that it is really charging. This is not like other wireless charging pad that if you don’t align correctly or if for some reason the phone moves of the aligned position then it will stop charging.
Iphone 12 and 13 grips strong to the base even if it is in 60 degrees position, and if you have face recognition enabled on the iphone you just approach to the screen and you will be able to see comfortably your messages or notifications. It is also a cool idea to have the swivel option. It can swivel up and allow viewing angles up to 60 degress to accommodate the best viewing option on your phone. I was wondering why it felt heavy and then I understood that it was required to hold the phone while the moving base is in 60-degree position, very well thought out.

As well as the whole unit, the swivel arm feels strong and good quality. I was surprised to see how powerful the magnet is. All the phones I was charging have cases. I don’t know if they are designed for mag-safe chargers, but they stuck to the base. And while the moving base is in the 60 degrees position, there is a second 5W wireless charging platform underneath the main round charging platform, where I can wirelessly charge my airpods simultaneously. I was able to have a fully charge my Iphone 12 in about an hour, that is a lot of power! This unit comes with a USB-C cable and a 20watts USB-C Power Adapter 3amp which is the reason why this unit delivers. Even the Power adapters that come for the Ipads are only 2.2amps. It didn’t charge my Apple Watch.
The base lights up for few seconds when you place your cell phone on the base charger, or when it is connected for the first time. If a device is placed on the base and cannot be charged the light will be blinking letting you know that there is a problem.
Overall, the dual charging, convenient design with moving base, and elegant shape make it a great charger and I really like it!

Polaroid Now+ New Look with a lot of improvements
on November 25, 2021
Posted by: GEJF
from Nevada
I have already been a fan of instant cameras for a few years and I even bought the polaroid original onestep+ analog instant film camera but after seeing the new eye catching polaroids (white color was irresistible) I decided it was time for an upgrade. The new Polaroid Now+ i-type instant camera offers much more than the regular polaroids. The first feature that drew my attention was that it includes a lens filter kit. There are 5 lenses total with the colors starburst, red vignette, orange, yellow, and blue. They easily snap on to the camera lens and give my polaroids a new whole new look! The new and improved features of this camera include autofocus, accurate flash, tripod mount, 15-pack battery life, and the camera is adaptable enough that it works with both i-type film and 600 film.
The most popular feature of this polaroid is that it's made to work with the polaroid app. The app changes the way polaroids are taken which complement the lens kit. The app is not needed to take and pictures, but I highly encourage it. The way the app is set up is very simple. It has different settings like manual mode, double exposure, light painting, and self-timer. A cool feature that the app provides is that you can change the setting of the flash for a better picture! If it's darker environment I can just make the flash setting higher or I can easily make it lower or turn it off in a bright setting.
People who are more familiar with camera settings or work with cameras professionally will love manual mode. Manual mode allows you to change the aperture and shutter settings for a more captivating photo! Overall, this camera is great for anyone wanting a "point and shot" right out if the box, with good quality picture and willing to have great polaroid collection or at least physical pictures, which is something missing nowadays, so this camera is definitely worth the investment.

Right Choice for your entry-level Record Player
on November 20, 2021
Posted by: GEJF
from Nevada
Nowadays the vinyls are back and there are many reasons why I personally think this is happening. Starting by the cover, 12x12in dimension that allows you to enjoy the art and many other details that the composer/singer was willing to share, you cannot have that level of appreciation with a CD format. And you are going to listen the sound in its pure format, Stereo conceived, nothing complicated, no fake sound, compressed or altered, only just pure stereo.
My daughter was very interested moving from the digital format to the vinyl, but every time that she was trying to start my Old Stereo system, you know, my old school Turntable, the Phono pre-amp, the Amp, etc., she panicked.
So I decided to get for her an entry level turntable where she can start her learning process in the vinyl world, and appreciate my huge collection of vinyls, and this Victrola Turntable does the job wonderfully. This is not only a turntable but it is also an amplifier, with BT connectivity.
She liked it as soon as I got it. The look, the size, it is not as big as the regular turntables, it fits perfectly on top of her nightstand, with a vintage look, and espresso color. The setup was so simple, it comes with a round paper with instructions on top of the plate that you can follow the directions, and as I was expecting it is going to be, basically took out the plastic covers, connect the Power adapter, and in less than 10 min the system was ready to rock.
The clear dust cover has the option to close it while it is playing the record besides the fact that the turntable is a little smaller than the record, which is cool.
It has built in Amplifier and 2 stereo speakers where you can hear the record while is playing, the sound is really good and the way it equalizes, plus the tone arm, and it comes with anti-vibration technology, which prevents the stylus to skip even if you turn the volume knob at the maximum, something that I was afraid might happen, but not in this case. But the unit is also a Bluetooth amplifier, so if you connect via BT your cell phone or tablet, and look for Eastwood, you can stream your music through this amp, very cool. It does not have mic, it will only work as a BT Amp.
On the top front you have a Display Screen that will show you if it is in Phono mode or BT.
But you also can do the opposite as well, you can stream your vinyls to external Bluetooth speakers, very easily. The Stylus is the very well Brand Audio Technica, that has gained good reputation for its products. Everything comes pre setup, there is no option to adjust the counter balance tonearm, but for the tracking force is around 3.5grams, which is within the specs.
Sound is really good. No skipping tracks, or the annoying hissing noise. I think part of the success is the Audio Technica Conical Stylus, which has a good frequency response and as well the design of the Tone Arm. It has the 3.5mm headphone jack on the front top, and RCA Stereo connectors at the back, in case you want to connect directly to an amplifier, but it is a preamp signal, not phono, which is great so you don’t need the extra preamp in between.
I was surprise that it is capable to play any size record, Speed selector has the 3, 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM, not even my old turntable has the 78, however it is nice to have it. It also includes the 45 rpm adapter.
We played all type of music, Rock, Classical, etc., and all my vinyls performed very good in this little fella, my daughter is very pleased on how easy it is to operate, and that she can stream her digital music as well.
Finally you can also stream your vinyls to external BT speakers or BT earphones by pressing the BT Out button, and pairing with the BT receiver, it is recommended that your receiver unit is closed to the Turntable while is in paring mode. After the connection is done, you can placed almost anywhere, it has a really good range, specs states 30feet but I think it is a little more than that.

So far I haven’t had any issues with the performance of this turntable, no distortion, no skipping tracks while playing. The sound is powerful and pleasant.
I am very pleased with this choice

Pixel6: Huge Tech leap plus AI working at its best
on November 8, 2021

Google really made a daring and gigantic technology jump with the google Pixel 6 pro. There are so many features I found that I wasn’t aware they exist until I got it and started to play with it. I felt overwhelmed at the beginning, but satisfied. And after I started to learn how to get the best of this phone, I ended up more amazed and impressed. And even now while I am writing this review, I am still continuing learning about what this phone is capable of.
Compared to my Samsung Galaxy phone, the Pixel 6 pro makes it looks like it belongs in the stone age. Without getting into a full detail of all this phone has to offer as new and advance technology let me tell you just a few important remarkable findings I found. With a display of 6.7 diagonal measured, LTPO OLED curved screen, refresh rate of 120Hz, a 1,440 x 3,120 resolution, 4K UHD 60fps which gives it a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, it offers crystal clear video with vibrate colors. I was so pleased to see my movies streaming in Netflix and My Vudu account not only colorful but vivid. The size of the screen was perfect to enjoy my videos as well as the sound.
Another cool thing I found out about this phone, is that not only has a super-fast wireless charging, but it also has reverse wireless charging, and what it does is that it turns the google pixel 6 into a wireless charging pad so you can charge other devices that support wireless charging. This is awesome, I didn’t know that was possible until I got this one. So, you go the Settings/Battery/Battery Share, turn on the feature, and the back of the pixel 6 will be you charging pad. I used it to charge my daughters Iphone 12 even with the case and it worked flawlessly. You can also configure how much of the Battery level you want to use. Battery lasted around a day, the charging process was really fast, I would say that in about an hour will do a full charge, it was at 10% of Battery when I placed it in my wireless charging pad, and it took just a little bit less than an hour to do a fully charge.
At last I can have the under screen fingerprint reader in a phone, with the option to create more finger profiles for the same finger just in case it doesn’t recognize the original finger profile. A Triple rear camera with 50 mega pixel and 4x optical zoom. The pictures look more natural and detailed with improve dynamic range in color and lighting. Usually I ask my daughter to take the pictures with her Iphone 12, but in this case the pictures with the Google Pixel looks great from one shot, 4x zooming is a must.
The camera app includes motion mode, magic eraser, real tone, cinematic pan. It doesn’t have Face recognition. The front camera is 11.1 mega pixel
The Magic Eraser app included is great. You can erase, retouch, color people or objects in background, I didn’t need to use photoshop for what I was needing to edit. However it only works for pictures taken with the Google pixel 6 pro. If you import or download a picture taken with other camera you won’t be able to edit it.

Off line life translation is very useful and accurate, it is like using the Google translate app, and the “Hold for me” feature, very clever way to let you know once somebody finally answer the call other that an automated operator. Fast Speech to Text or lets say dictation feature is wonderful, very accurate, and fast.
The Google Pixel 6 Pro uses 12GB RAM, and mine came with 128GB of storage. 5G (obviously) with mmWave Technology that offers super fast speeds in short range and Google decided to go in this model with its own chip: Tensor.
It comes in an elegant case, with glossy edges made of stainless steel. Mine is all black, with a metal unibody, curved corners and rounded edges, and a feature that I like the most, Gorilla Glass! (front and back). A feature that I have had in other cell phone with excellent performance.
All of these great features would not performed as well if it is not because of the AI Technology that works with the Tensor Processor included in this phone. Either for the Camera, videos, apps, etc. The AI learns faster how to do it and even will correct your choices preventing you to make mistakes, and that is what I found to be the real reason why everything works way better than other Android phones.
Finally I left the best thing for last, setup is really simple, I moved my tmobile sim card from my Samsung to the Google Pixel, the rest is very intuitive, quick and guided. It will ask you to set up the finger print, the wifi connectivity, pin etc, all the usual stuff. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable with a USB female to USB-C male adapter.
The Google Pixel 6 Pro is the way to go, comparing to its apple competitor Iphone 13 pro, the benefits, features and affordability surpasses Apple.

It is as good as it looks!

The first thing that caught my attention when I opened the Shipping box was the packaging. Very professional and high quality. You can tell that you are in front of a high quality and good product. The initial setup is very easy. It comes with an envelope with a warranty stamp and a small quick guide start, and separately a big color quick start guide with instructions to set up the wifi, and from there update the firmware. It comes with 3 different attachments, a USB-C charging cord, a handle extender, something that make it looks real unique, stand-box that not only keeps the optional attachments inside, but it also serves as a wireless charger. I found that really amazing, and I didn’t notice this detail at the beginning.
So, the unit has a USB-C port where you can connect to charge it with the included cord. It doesn’t come with the Power adapter. As I mentioned before, the stand is a wireless charge so all you have to do is placed the unit on top and it will charge itself wirelessly.
Using this massager is so simple! It is very intuitive, and the way it works is by using vibration acoustics sounds that varies from different frequencies as well as vibration so it helps to stimulate your nervous system. It is oriented as a day by day use, so you can perform a regular “maintenance” to your body and prevent or calm uncomfortable pain or help you to sleep better.
First, I charged the unit, it took a while, but the specs states that it will last 4 full hours of work once it is fully charged. Once it is charged, I proceed to follow the instructions to connect it to my Home Wifi, very easy, you will first have to connect your wifi phone to the unit, and once it is done you either scan the bar code provided to take you to the unit configuration web page, or just simply type the ip 192.168.4.1 on the web browser of your phone and it will take you to the configuration of the unit and from there you can configure the wifi settings. Once it is done you just follow the instructions on the unit screen display and update the firmware.

Even if the unit is able to work without connecting to the wifi, you will get more benefits by doing it, because the brand will provide you an update of different new routines that will be more up to date.
After trying the 4 different attachment I found out that the one that comes by default is suitable for all my needs. By pressing the trigger on the handle you will power on the unit and at the back a color touch screen will light on with four types of massage modes, Pain Relief, Clam, energy and Rest. I think they all pretty much explain by itself what each one does. If you press the touch screen to select each one, you will find 2 options, a guided and manual routine. The guided will tell you where and how long to massage. To pause it just touch the screen. The manual mode will just activte the unit and will show you on the screen a circle that spin show you with the line indicator when and how much is the intensities level.
The handle extender is very useful, it grab firmly to the unit and I can reach the lower of my back easily.
I have problems to sleep, so I am starting to use it with the "rest mode" routine. This unit has been made by professionals and researchers so you can feel confident that with the regular use will you will be able to find your rhythm and stimulate your nervous system by the combination of vibration and sonic pulses.
By far I was pleasantly surprised, it is not just another massager machine. The guided instructions, this stylish and durable device makes a big difference from others.
I like it!

Go for a spin with this Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen car. It has expressive LCD eyes and a hi-fi speaker to embody the spirit of the Cars character, and its dedicated app lets you control it from your mobile device. This Sphero Ultimate Lightning McQueen car provides over 2 hours of play on a full charge.
I purchased the Ultimate Lightening McQueen Mobile App Control Car. When I tried to download the mobile app, I was asked for my credit card verification but there is no price listed anywhere. Does anyone know what it costs?
Hi,
That question comes from the APP manager application, and not from the Sphero. Just hit "Skip" and continue with the installation
