Great phone but still lacking
on October 31, 2019
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
This October Google launched its latest flagship phones the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL. But models are essentially the same save for the screen size wherein the Pixel for has a screen size of 5.7” and the Pixel 4 XL having a screen size of 6.3”. Also the Pixel 4 XL has larger battery with 3700 mAh with the Pixel 4 having a 2800 mAh battery. I am reviewing the Pixel 4 XL but my thoughts can also apply for the smaller Pixel 4.
The main highlights of both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are that both are run by Android Q or simply Android 10 and being Pixel phones are guaranteed by three of updates so updating to Android 12 is a guarantee. Both are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 processor (though I’ve read there is already the 855+). It has a dual rear camera system wherein the wide angle camera has 12 MP and the zoom has 16 MP. It’s front camera ha 8 MP.
Both have USB C and have an 18 W charger for rapid charging. And Qi charging is also possible but the Qi charger is preferred to have 10 W or more for normal charging times. Aside from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options, the Pixel 4 has NFC capabilities which enables Google Pay and pairing with NFC enabled devices such as headsets and speakers.
As mentioned earlier the Pixel 4 has Android 10 out of the box giving you a pure Android experience minus all the bloatware other Android phones offer. (This review is not about Android 10 though.) But what stands out from the Pixel 4 is that it has motion sensors which enable the user to control the phone by using hand motions and gestures without even touch the phone. But do note that this is fairly new technology so the potential is still unreached. As of the moment, motion gestures include the phone screen activating when you are reaching for it. This is a nice but not an essential feature but handy if you just want to check on the time and if there are notifications on your phone. Also motion gestures can also can control which music tracks to play. Google has a list of apps that are motion enabled on its website. But like what I mentioned before, this technology is still in its infancy so for now these are nice features to have.
The Pixel 4 boasts of a POLED screen using Gorilla glass which boasts of rich and warm colors and runs at 90 Hz. It can run video and games smoother which gives the user a better visual experience. But unfortunately these result to diminished battery life to the point of being abysmal as per my personal experience and that these are moreover flagship Android phones. One way to increase battery life though is to use dark mode and disable smooth mode meaning you reduce the screen refresh rate to 60 Hz. For the most part disabling smooth mode would have no significant impact on performance but will have one on battery life. And do note this is the most serious complaint about the Pixel 4. But so far in the first few days of having my Pixel 4 XL, battery life has improved quite a bit.
Following its competitors, the Pixel 4 ditched its fingerprint sensor which is found in the back of the Pixel 3 and replace it with its Face Unlock feature. In essence, this is a “me too” feature. But unlike its competitors, the Pixel 4’s Face Unlock feature is blazing fast. This is due primarily to Google’s Project Soli. (Google it to know more.) And though it works with either your eyes closed or not looking at the phone (I have tried this myself.), privacy concerns have been raised by others as the phone can be unlocked by someone else if you are sleeping or have been rendered unconscious say from an accident. Hopefully, Google will fix this issue on a future update.
An improved feature also included in the Pixel 4 is Google’s next generation Google Assistant. While not many people may notice it, but Google claims the next generation Google Assistant is up to 10 times faster. To top this, Google added Driving Mode which enables the user to use better navigation by using only voice commands. And I’ve read that Google commands will be incorporated too in Google enabled car navigation systems in the future.
And now for the gist of the Pixel 4 – the camera. Google’s Pixel series have known to the one of the best if not the best camera in a smart phone. With that in mind, Google is late in having a rear multi-camera system incorporated in its Pixel line. Moreso with most of its competitors having three or even four rear cameras, Google came out only with two. Which is a letdown since the ability to take ultra-wide is zilch. That said the Pixel 4’s dual camera still has some tricks up on its sleeve.

That said the Pixel 4’s dual camera still has some tricks up on its sleeve.
First, the Pixel 4’s dual rear cameras offer Live HDR+ thereby giving you real time HDR images. Add to that dual exposure controls which results in pictures which are vibrant. I have attached a picture for reference. And truth be told the picture is even more vibrant compared to a similar shot take with my micro four-thirds camera.
The Pixel 4’s 2X telephoto lens may also be a disappointment for some. But combined with a digital zoom and Google’s “magic” results to 8X zoom and having more details than camera phones with a 3X optical zoom and added digital zoom. The “2X limitation” here becomes moot for me.

Lastly, the Google Pixel’s phone offers Night Sight which enables you to take pictures without a flash. And while other smartphones also have a similar feature, the Pixel 4 takes the cake because its Night Sight is also capable of astrophotography. While admittedly this is a niche feature, it just shows the capability of the Pixel 4’s camera capabilities.
In conclusion, the Google Pixel 4 is a great phone overall at the same time offers a pure Android experience. The lack of an ultra-wide lens, mediocre battery performance (Actually the Pixel 3 has a better battery.), and (I almost forgot) the lack of earbuds or at least a dongle, makes me remove one star for this phone. Still I’d recommend this for someone who wants a phone that performs in spite of some lacking features.

A worthwhile addition to your rig
on October 22, 2019

The Logitech G Pro Gaming Mechanical Keyboard is the latest gaming keyboard from Logitech. I amusing this keyboard as I write this review and I will be giving my initial thoughts on this keyboard.
First the G Pro Mechanical Keyboard is a compact but full sized keyboard which is shorter by two to three inches compared to a regular keyboard. But don’t let that surprise you as it has some heft to it unlike other keyboards. It is a wired keyboard so that latency should not be a problem. And is it connected to a detacheable USB cord similar in design to other USB cords found in G Pro products.
Typing in this keyboard somewhat reminds me of older electric typewriters as the keys are very clicky. One thing I’ve noticed though is that this keyboard seems to be the “clickiest” among all other gaming keyboards I have tried. Other features this keyboard has are the 12 programmable keys, non-slip rubber feet and angle adjustments.
And like most gaming keyboards, this is backlighted. But what makes this stand apart is that it is Lightsync compatible. Lightsync is Logitech’s proprietary technology to sync other Logitech accessories in order to have a uniform lighting and configuration scheme across several devices. In my case I also have a gaming mouse, charging pad and a gaming headset all paired through Logitech’s G-Hub software.
I really don’t have much words to mince hear since this is in essential a keyboard. But a keyboard that is rock solid and fun to use. And for those familiar with Logitech’s G-Hub products, this keyboard is a worthwhile addition to your gaming rig even if you do not hav other Logtech gaming products.

Good alternative charger
on October 16, 2019
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Platinum 65 W USB-wall charger is a cheaper alternative to an Apple charger or any PC that doesn’t feel like it’s a cheap knockoff. On top of it, it has two USB devices which OEM chargers don’t have.
Mind you this charger is built for laptops and not really tablets. I tried it with my 2-1 tablet and it almost fried my tablet. Well my tablet came with a 10 W charger. But it did charge my Chromebook well. So really the USB-C is really for computers. The two USB ports work fine for iPads.
It’s really a functional charger. But for a third-party one, this is well built. There is nothing cheap I this product save for the price which is a bit cheaper compared to OEM ones. That said this charger is not only good for a replacement but also good as a spare charger you leave in your office or just in your bag. This is a good buy.

It's a premium adapter
on October 16, 2019
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
In the age of wireless everything, a USB to Ethernet adapter has almost no use. But there are times that you need one. For example, in offices that prefer wired connections for security purposes or simply in hotels that still haven’t upgraded yet to WiFi an Ethernet would be a godsend. But unfortunately, your best options would be cheaply made adapters.
Here comes the Platinum USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter. Unlike other adapters this one speaks of premium quality. It comes in an elegant box (Well the box isn’t really important. And the adapter itself is enclosed in silver metal with a white cable perfectly matching your Apple computer but still functional for PCs as well.
As expected, it works as advertised though I’ve noticed in my initial tries it’s a bit slower compared to a computer with a built-in Ethernet port. But that is expected for all adapters. Nonetheless it is still functional and comes in handy when you need it.
Not much more can be said but if you want a premium adapter, this is it.

Watch your favorite movies and shows in lifelike quality with this 65-inch Hisense 4K ULED Android smart TV. Dolby Vision HDR provides exceptional color, brightness and contrast, while the built-in Google Assistant enables voice control. This Hisense 4K ULED Android smart TV features automated scene recognition, matching video and sound settings to the content.
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Hisense H8F series is one of two series released this year by Hisense the other being the more expensive Quantum Dot H9F series. This review focuses specifically on the 65” H8F model.
The Hisense H8F is a sleek 65” flat-screen smart TV weighing in only at 44 lbs including the stands. It’s thin profile enables this to happen. And while for most thickness and weight are not major issues, for those wanting to mount their TV this would be a boon for them as reference, older 65” flat screens weigh in up to 75lbs. Another attribute of this TV is the almost invisible bezel it has making this model shine above in the looks department compared to other brands.
The TV has a 60hz refresh rate and boasts a motion rate of 240 (more on that later. As for connectivity, the TV has four HDMI 2.0a inputs with the first one being ARC ready. It has also support for wireless a/b/g/n/ac and two USB ports. For older compatibility, it has an RCA port, antenna port, Ethernet, digital (optical) and analog outputs and an audio in port. There are no buttons on the TV save for the power button located below the IR port on the lower left side of the TV. Pretty much everything save power is exclusively controlled by the included remote. And if used via ARC with a sound bar and Blu-Ray player, the remote becomes a universal one.
The smart features of this TV is run by Android TV which is different step for Hisense which usually use Roku TV. While the latter arguably maybe the most popular, this TV has the Oreo (v 8.0) of Android TV. The primary advantage of Android TV IMO is the wide gamut of apps available on Android as compared to other smart tv platforms. Also, it has Google Chromecast built-in. One thing to note though. While Amazon and Google have become “friends”, this TV does not support Prime Video which is arguably the only downside of Android TV.
Now comes the gist of this TV. The Hisense from my more than a week of using this TV can compare with other branded TVs out there in its price range. And yes there are TVs out there including Hisense’s Tvs that are much cheaper, the H8 series is a cut above these TVs boasting of ULED technology have a wide gamut of colors available but still fall short to quantum dot enabled TVs selling at a much higher price.
One of the key features of this TV is having controls similar to higher end 4k TVs. It has local or backlight dimming, motion enhancement and motion clearness so you can control the clarity of your TV whether or not you want the “soap opera” effect. The 240 motion rate here is not clearly defined but is described as motion enhancement which give you a selection of film, standard smooth and custom controls. Every TV brand his its own term for motion rate. And lastly, aside from the usual brightness and saturation settings, this model has a calibration option for those technically inclined. I am not an expert on this but settings included in discs that have a maximizer option indicate the TV is already optimized with the default settings. Note this TV is capable of handling Dolby Vision HDR and HD R10.
And finally as for the sound, this TV like most TVs has no real impressive audio features. And while it has enhanced sound modes like dbx-tv, TotalSonic and TotalSurround, the two 15-watt speakers give little justice to these features. It’s best to use a sound bar or a complete home theater system to complement this TV. But then again, if you have a TV this big it’s fairly safe to say you are going to use a home theater system. One thing though, ARC setup may be flaky but it still works and can even have pass through Dolby Vision HDR/HDR 10 and Dolby Atmos/DTS-X.
As far as this TV goes, this is a very capable one comparable to other brands at a much lower price point. I’d highly recommend this TV to others. And if this TV is too large for you, there are smaller versions of this TV which has either a 55” or 50” screen.

This is a great monitor!
on October 3, 2019
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
This latest monitor from Acer is a 27 inch full HD not only provides crisp and vibrant colors but also offers FreeSync technology when paired with a compatible graphics card, eliminates fluctuations in the screen during gaming. I have tried it on a compatible APU/GPU computer and tried some games with it and so far fluctuations were not noticed.
Aside from this new feature, I like the screen size of 27 inches which makes it easier not only to play games but also do some work using word processors and spreadsheets. Controls are easily accessible as they are found in the bottom corner of the monitor. And in fact easy to use. There is barely a need for a manual.
At the back of the screen one can see that there are three connections mainly DVI, VGA and HDMI. The menu of the monitor allows for automatic selection for whatever connection you use. Thus really making this an easy to use monitor.
The monitor is easy to assemble which is basically attaching the stand with a screwdriver necessary for installation. The screen is tiltable for better viewing. One thing to note also is that the screen has a small bezel adding to a better viewing pleasure. And which the colors are crisp and bright, prolonged use does not really provide eyestrain.
This monitor being the latest from Acer is a highly recommended monitor especially if you have a compatible GPU which enables you to have not only a good viewing pleasure but also having a better gaming experience.

It's a great blender. What more can I say?
on August 29, 2019
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
I first purchased my MagicBullet a few years ago, though it was fine and still being sold today, it was generally replaced by the NutriBullet system which is still a personal blender but bigger and more powerful. But given the size of the either the Magic Bullet or Nutri Bullet, it was really a hard sell as the only blender in your house. Then comes the new Nutri Blender combo. In essence it functions as a normal blender but can also serve as a personal blender as well. So it’s really a two-in-one product.
But what makes it different from regular blenders? Regular blenders have a wattage of around 600 watts. This is a high powered blender at 1,200 watts. And since it can convert to a personal blender, this gives the NutriBullet Blender an edge over other high powered blenders. And since this is at a price point similar to other high powered blenders, the addition of two individual blender cups gives this more value.
So what can I say aside that this is a great blender? I have no more words for this. And I’d recommend it to everyone.

Drive safely with this Cobra super HD dash cam. Its 1296p recording resolution captures high-quality video footage in any lighting condition, while the extreme temperature protection is tested to withstand sudden fluctuations. This Cobra super HD dash cam provides iRadar route tracking and live police alerts when connected to the iRadar app, so you never miss a thing.
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Cobra HD Dashcam with iRadar is one of Cobra’s latest offerings in the dash cam space. After road testing it for week, here are my thoughts. The Cobra HD Dashcam is one of the smaller dash cams around and is a plus for me. The roughly 2” is fairly sufficient for my needs. The kit comes with a low profile windshield mount which uses 3M double tape. But personally, I’d prefer mounts using suction cups. Cobra is supposed to sell the mounts but it seems to be made for radar detectors. Other items in the box include a 10-ft usb cord for power, an 18” cord for file transfers, an auto power supply and some quick start guides.
The unit itself is unobtrusive and has the basic functions and features one would find in most dash cams. On the left side would be a connector for the optional gps module and a micro-sd card slot. And while the description says it comes with an 8GB card, mine (as well as others’) came in with a 32GB sd card which is a plus. And like the other dash cams out there, video is looped and the 32GB gives you a long history of your drive. On the right hand side, you have the micro usb port and a mini hdmi port. (I wasn’t able to test the mini hdmi port as of this writing as I have seemed to lose my only mini hdmi cable.)
The unit does not have a touch screen, but it has four tactile buttons for the menu screen. Also, there is an “emergency” camera button on the center top of the unit. This buttons allows you to record video in protected mode, meaning once the video recordings loop, that particular video will not be erased. And on the top right of the unit, there is a power on/off switch which also asks as a volume button.
Like all modern dash cams, it has a G-sensor so that video starts recording when you move the car and also enables your unit to record in “emergency” or “impact” mode in case of collision. The level of sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted in the menu. Aside from that, this model has a collision mode and a lane change mode. While for the most part the collision mode may be annoying and not really needed for my driving habits because it constantly beeps if there is anything near in front of you, I still see value in it as it can be helpful in poor visibility conditions or if you are just tired. The lane change mode I still have to see it actually work. I was not able to get any alert during my initial week of using it.
As for the video mode, all settings from the 1296p Super HD mode to 720p at 30fps, proved to be very good and clear. I also have tried it at night and clarity was acceptable. What I like about the dash cam is the 160 degree viewing mode. Most cheaper dash cams have a viewing angle of 110-120 degrees. Personally, I have set mine at 720p at 30fps as the video quality is sufficient enough for insurance purposes in case of collision. And I can have more videos recorded before the loop starts. After all I am not recording video for showing in a huge 4K TV. But it’s a nice touch if you have that feature. Cobra by the way has included a PC app for video editing. It is simply a basic editing tool and if you have another editing tool, you can dispense with this as the videos recorded are in MOV format.
The features of this dash cam which makes it different form other dash cams are the ability to add in a GPS module and the iRadar app. I am not particularly impressed with the iRadar app ad GPS module as both require a smartphone to function. First of all the iRadar app for this dash cam only provides a map when used together with your smart phone. In order to enable navigation, you have to purchase a separate GPS module. And all smart phones already have built-in map app. And the salient features of iRadar is the roadside alerts. The catch is that the alerts are crowdsourced from other iRadar users and the full features are not free. This is pretty much a hard sell for me because Waze can similarly do it for free plus it obviously have navigation features.
That said, the Cobra Drive HD is still a good performer but I would have to remove a star for the limitations of the iRadar app. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this unit to others as this performs well as a dash cam in its price range.

We have several Speck cases in our household and I had a similar looking one for my iPhone 6. What I can say is that they are as advertised. Nope I really hadn’t dropped my XR that hard. I only dropped it from two feet several times. But my iPhone 6 with the similar case had some really hard drops. All I can say is that Speck phone cases are durable.
Also like black/color combination of this case. And though smooth, it still can provide a good grip. My only gripe is that it gets smudged easily. Still this design is a good one and I highly recommend it. Would also mind recommending Speck cases for tablets too.

Stay active while listening to the crisp sound of these JLab EpicAir wireless sports earbuds. The rechargeable LiIon battery provides hours of listening time, while the ear hook design offers a secure fit. These JLab EpicAir wireless sports earbuds are sweat-resistant and water-resistant and have different-sized eartips, which can be swapped out for comfort.
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The JLab Epic Airsport True Wireless Earbuds is an incremental update for the JLab Epic Air Elite True Wireless Earbuds. The most notable difference being the 10 hour battery in between charges and a total of 70 hours of battery life. Also it has an IP 66 sweatproof rating compared to the Epic Air Elite. Charging time is around 4 ½ hours and comes in a somewhat larger charging case.
Both headsets come with eight pairs of eartips and has the same controls. The Airsport has that JLab signature sound which is a hit or miss for some but generally ok. While there is not much to say about the audio quality and fit of the Airsport, call quality has an echo sound and often BT connectivity gets cut off. Also, using Siri leads for the earbuds to disconnect too.
While I like the overall sound of the JLab earbuds (I have three other models), I cannot give this a decent rating due to connectivity issues. Being a flagship product, I am expecting more or at least the functionality should be guaranteed.

1 out of 5Worst experience ever buying this phone
By Gourav
I brought this phone for $50 during Thanksgiving and this phone was delivered to me after 30 days but I thought OK its late but may be worth it.
I start using this phone and haven't made even 5 calls this phone restarting by itself every min, so i did factory reset and tried all other suggestions from online forums but nothing helped. Since this is under warranty i had to ship it Alcatel repair center but on my own pocket expenses, AH!.
Alcatel should cover shipping fees as its their fault that their phone is faulty.
Alcatel don't even have their store/facility locations where i can go give my phone for repair physically rather paying for shipping.
I would also recommend that Best Buy has brand name and they should NOT allow low quality brands/product to be sold on their site.

Alcatel covers shipping costs
April 20, 2017
I also bought mine during Thanksgiving and had the same problem. I called Alcatel and they acknowledged that there is a hardware problem and emailed a shipping label for FedEx. Within a week or so I received a replacement phone via UPS. Do note I did pay for shipping and replacement of my phone. In fairness to Alcatel this replacement phone does not have the random reboots anymore.

By Macinzim
Every time I try to print or scan it tells me that I need to replace an ink cartridge to access anything on the printer. Ex: I replace the magenta and print one black and white document then it tells me I need to replace the magenta again. Epson customer service tells me "replace the ink cartridge" and nothing else. Printing one 5 page black and white document per month is costing me approximately $20 per month.

Everytime you replace a cartridge, calibration reduces ink in the other cartridges. You'd be better off with tri-color cartridges,

The ROCCAT Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Gaming Mouse was aggressively benchmarked against market-leading symmetrically shaped mice. We wanted a design and shape that instantly felt better from the very first touch. Our aim was to have a shape that made it feel like you had nothing in your hand both in terms of a neutral shape and low weight. We wanted to do this without putting holes in the surface to cut down on mass as many competitors have done. We call it extreme lightweight engineering, and with a weight of only 68g we think the name checks out. The pride and glory of the Burst Pro is the Titan Switch Optical. The first generation of ROCCAT mice to feature the technology, the Titan Switch Optical brings game-changing benefits. Tuned for speed and durability, gamers get a familiar click feel – no learning curve – that functions at the speed of light, and with no more double-click issues. The ROCCAT Burst Pro Extreme Lightweight Optical Pro Gaming Mouse features a striking translucent honeycomb shell that gives a smoky, hazy showcase to the AIMO lighting engine while protecting against dirt and dust. Weighing only 68g, the shell also keeps weight to an absolute minimum. As well as the Titan Switch Optical, the Burst Pro features a PhantomFlexTM cable that virtually disappears, for a near-wireless experience, and a 16K dpi Owl-Eye optical sensor. In yet another industry first, the Burst Pro features heat-treated glides that are a step above PTFE mouse feet. They are pre-tuned for incredibly smooth glide right out of the box.

why is the mx3 the same price as the mx4 if there is no major changes?
Prices are dropping elsewhere. Perhaps when the MX4s actually arrive by the 21st, prices in Best Buy would also lower.

hello i was considering purchasing last years model but i read numerous reviews mentioning that the touch controls would malfunction in cold weather has this issue been adressed?
No one really knows for sure as it is summer. But since Sony doesn't say anything about this, I guess it's safe to assume that the issue hasn't been really solved for now.
