The Belkin Wireless Charging Pad is a sleek white colored round Qi charging pad that boasts of a fast 10W charging capacity. Adding to its sleekness are rubber feet both at the bottom and top of the charging pad so that neither your phone nor the charging pad will easily slip. A charging light is also added to indicate if you have placed your phone correctly or not.
I have tested this side-by-side with another 10-watt charger (the brand I will not mention). And from my initial observation performs like what a 10-watt charger should. It’s not magic. And don’t expect it to be as an 18-watt PD charger. Still this is the fastest rating you’ll get from a wireless charger. You may see other brands boasting a 15-watt capacity but they tend to overheat. Hence, 10-watts is the go-to spec for wireless charging. And the Belkin does not disappoint.

A product in its own category
on June 18, 2020

The Sony ZV-1 is Sony’s latest “premium” point and shoot camera launched recently. It sports the same 1.0 Exmor sensor found in Sony’s flagship point and shoot camera the RX100 VII. One can say that the ZV-1 is the RX100 VII little cousin. And I say cousin as the ZV-1 is not only a stripped down version of the RX100 VII but also geared to another market namely content creators or vloggers. And in this sense Sony is creating a niche in an already crowded space.
First and foremost, one would notice that the ZV-1 and the RX100 series have similar form-factors. One would notice that the ZV-1 is made of what Sony would term as composite material as compared to the magnesium alloy build of the RX100 series. In ordinary words, it’s made of plastic and not metal. Still, it has a premium feel similar to what you would find in entry-level DSLRs.
Also gone in the ZV-1 are the pop-up EVF on the top left side and the pop-up flash on the center top. Instead you would find a hot shoe on the top left where you can attach an external mic or a flash and on the top center is a directional 3-capsule mic. One thing to note is that Sony includes what it refers to as a wind screen for the mic which you attach into the hot shoe. (This is wind screen is also known as a dead cat.)
The ZV-1 has an articulating screen (a first in Sony point and shoot cameras but not handycams) instead of the usual tilting LCDs often found in the RX-100 series. The mode dial notably has been removed and has been replaced a mode button and you have to use the screen dial. (This IMO may be a dealbreaker as some prefer an actual mode dial.) And lastly, Sony added a rubber grip to the ZV-1 which IMHO is a nice touch to it.
As mentioned earlier Sony touts this as a vlogging camera more than that of a stills camera. And since this is a “cousin” of the RX100, I would no longer delve into the quality of still pictures but highlight on the “vlogging” aspects of this camera. (After all, the manual is around 550 pages long.)
Like the later model RX100 models, the ZV-1 has 4k video capabilities, but one thing to really amaze at this camera is its product showcase function. At the press of one button (which is the delete button during shooting mode), the camera can immediately focus on a product (or any object for that matter) at an arm’s length distance when it is moved (fairly quickly) to the front of the camera for a close up. Upon testing this feature repeatedly, I’d say that I’m amazed at this feature and that it works as advertised. I have not yet heard of any consumer level camera even from smartphones that can do this feature.
Another cool feature of the ZV-1 is background defocus mode. A button on the top right of the camera enables the camera to immediately go into bokeh mode or cinematic effect as a lot of vloggers refer to it. What is interesting to note is that it’s a simplified process and one does not need to know about adjusting aperture. And while it works, it is worthwhile to consider that the bokeh is not as “creamy” given the limit of the one inch sensor as compared to larger sensors from m4/3s, APS-C and full frame cameras. Still the effect is optical and not through software. Also, this has an advantage over smartphones as the bokeh effect is limited only in stills and not through video.
These two highlights of the ZV-1 plus features from the RX100 are compelling reasons to consider this camera over the RX100 VII given that there is almost a $500 price difference between the two models. But also, the ZV-1 can also hold on its own against other cameras as well. My primary complaint for the ZV-1 is like the RX series is that it still uses the small NP-BX1 batteries. So it would be prudent to stock up on extra batteries.
And finally for vlogging uses, a wireless shooting grip (Sony GP-VPT2BT) is available too. It is primarily a remote control grip that enables you to vlog and also function as a small tripod.
Overall, the Sony ZV-1 (as well as it’s accessory grip) is highly recommended for those who not only want to shoot stills but also use a very capable tool for vlogging.

Decent pair of true wirless earbuds
on June 16, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
I have the original Skullcandy Sesh True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds. And the Skullcandy Sesh Evo True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds is much improved product. First, the battery life of of the Sesh Evo has been improved from three on the original Sesh to five. And the dismal ten hour additional battery life has been increased to nineteen thereby making the Sesh Evo more or less at par with other TWS earbuds out there.
Another significant improvement of the Sesh Evo over the original Sesh is that the Sesh Evo is binaural feature meaning you can use either earbud as a standalone earbud. Also, when making calls, the sound comes from both earbuds.
As for audio quality is concerned, it has the same sound signature of the original Sesh and is bassy. The mids and highs are somewhat muffled. But overall, the sound is still pretty decent for TWS earbuds at this price range. For this I am removing one star as I hoped the mids and highs would also be improved in this newer model.
That said, the Sesh Evo is still a recommended buy for those looking for a budget pair of earbuds that has decent quality.

For those who want some flare in their appliances
on June 6, 2020

Microwave ovens are pretty much a commodity nowadays. In fact, they are now utilitarian. You have two main designs one being an over-the-top design also acting as an exhaust to your stove and the other being the ubiquitous counter-top model. And quite often, their designs are very drab. But not so much did the Galanz microwave oven.
The Galanz microwave oven though still utilitarian, comes in three hip colors namely Vinyl Black, Bebop Blue and Hot Rod Red a step in the usual white or occasionally black or stainless steel design of most microwave ovens out there. (I have the Hot Rod Red model.) Aside from that, the Galanz has a very sixties themed design for their ovens. So these in essence are the unique selling points of the Galanz microwave ovens.

Function wise, the Galanz microwave oven features a 700-watt power outage. Standard power controls via tuning knob. It has a clock and a timer. A defrost feature and pre-set cooking times. Since the design is not digital (save the clock), usage is not necessarily intuitive and obviously requires reading the manual. The rotating dish is only 9.7 inches in diameter.
So who is this for? People living in small residences or people who have a spare room that would require a second oven would be the market for this. This definitely is not for large families but it goes without saying that it can’t do the job. Upon initial use, I found the microwave to be quite capable. But this microwave is definitely for people who would put more on style over function. So if you’re the type who’d one some flare on your kitchen appliances, I’d recommend this oven. But given the smaller size and power output and the price point, I’d just nick one star off this one. Still a recommended buy for those who want to indulge.

Finally a mouse that works for the iPad!
on May 12, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
Since the release the iPad, the boon of every power iPad user is support for a mouse. For years this has been a frustrating experience for a lot of users especially when office suites came around for the iPad. To add insult to injury, Apple provided first support for a stylus rather than a mouse or a track pad. (Of course, there are the basic rubber tipped styli but I’m actually referring to the Apple Pen here.)
Almost ten years later, Apple has officially released mouse support for the iPad. There are workarounds for this, but none as far as I know had native cursor support. Then came iOS 13.4 and mouse support finally became a reality.
The Logitech i345 is one such product. Released in 2020, the Logitech i345 is a Bluetooth connected mouse that is price affordably for the iPad. It has a thinner profile as compared to other mice intended for PCs.
That said, it is simply a mouse (a Bluetooth at that) that simply works as a mouse. There are really no bells and whistles here save for the fact that it is a mouse. A mouse for the iPad.
Now some of you may balk at the idea of a mouse for the iPad, but for the others especially those who use it with a keyboard, this is the one feature they have been waiting all along. So, if you are in the market for a mouse for the iPad, the Logitech i435 is the one for you. I’d definitely recommend this mouse!

Cheap price, cheap quality

This is an affordable aka portable cheap compact disc player. My expectations are not high but I definitely did not expect to break after a couple of hours' use. The LCD cover came off indicating it wasn't glued enough. More so, one of the springs in the battery component came off as I removed the batteries making the CD player useless. I would have to take the thing apart just to be able to attach or solder the spring. Last, I've noticed the production date is January 2020. Perhaps the pandemic has something to do with the quality of manufacturing in China. For now, I'd stay away from this.

Minimalist soundbar design
on April 5, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
Soundbars are a great solution to those who want a better sound for watching shows on TV but still neither do not want nor have the space for a full home theater setup. And there’s a wide gamut of soundbar ranging from a full 9.1 Dolby Atmos setup to a basic 2.0 setup. The Yamaha YAS 109 2.1 channel soundbar is a great solution for those wanting a basic setup with minimal space requirements.
Following the success of the YAS-108/ATS-1080, the YAS-109 follows the design of a soundbar with an integrated sub-woofer offering a sleek design less the boxy external sub-woofer often found in soundbars. A separate bass module is available too. The main difference being the YAS-109 is now Alexa enabled thereby making it a smart speaker. And though it doesn’t have all of Alexa’s smart capabilities found in Amazon devices, it still greatly adds functionality to this soundbar. Alexa can be configured by downloading the Yamaha Soundbar Controller app from either the Apple Appstore or the Google Playstore. Also the app also substitutes as a remote control too.
Setting up the YAS-109 is a breeze. You just have to connect an HDMI cable (not included) to the HDMI-ARC port of your TV and soundbar. And if you don’t have an ARC enabled TV you can also use the included optical cable for audio. Do note that this soundbar supports 4K-HDR pass through so you may want to use a high speed cable though. Unfortunately, this soundbar does not support Dolby Vision or HDR-10. But it supports most audio-codecs (Dolby Digital, DTS-X) out there. (Obviously by nature of the design, Dolby Atmos is not supported.)
As for the sound output, the soundbar boasts of 60-watts for the sub-woofer and 30-watts each for the two channels. This is by no means room shaking but it is nonetheless sufficient in a medium sized room. (And as mentioned earlier, if you want more base a separate bass module can also be connected to this.) Also the soundbar has 3D sound which gives a wider sound but still cannot replace full surround speakers. (This is most noticeable in a bedroom rather than a living room.) Nonetheless it improves the sound output of the device which is most effective when watching action movies.
The only odd thing that I found here is that the Yamaha for whatever reason has downgraded the YAS-109 bluetooth version to 4.2 whereas the older YAS-108 has Bluetooth 5.0. This personally has no bearing for me as I seldom use Bluetooth in this soundbar as I use Alexa to stream music. But I did notice that music streaming from Alexa has better overall sound (higher treble) when streaming audio as compared to using bluetooth to stream music. And lastly, this unit uses 110V only so those planning to bring these overseas should take note of this.
These said, I highly recommend the Yamaha YAS-109 for those who want a simple 2.1 soundbar. For those who have no need for Alexa, the Yamaha-108 for a cheaper price is worth considering. And if you want more bass, the Yamaha YAS-209 should be considered albeit at a higher price.

A decent electric shaver
on January 23, 2020
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
The Philips Norelco 5300 is a mid-range shaver from Philips. Its form factor is no different from other Norelco shavers. It is easy to grip with rubber grips on the sides. It took me a while to use this shaver as I don’t grow facial hair fairly quick. Because of this I have stuck with bladed razors and this is my first electric razor.
My first impressions are that it gives a smooth shave and you can barley feel any vibrations coming from the razor. Also, it is fairly quiet too. I like the fact that the multi flex heads contribute to the smooth shave. This shaver boasts of the capabilities of dry and wet shaving. Unfortunately though, there is no IPX rating given. And truthfully, I prefer blades as facial hair weren’t cut. Though overall it still gives a good shave. As a battery-operated device, it is rated at 40 minutes. And it takes roughly an hour to make a full charge. This I believe is good enough for someone who doesn’t shave often.
Honestly, I don’t really see anything truly unique in this shaver. But in my honest opinion it works fairly well as a shaver. Perhaps I am still used to blades. Hopefully I would grow into this shaver. And still, I would recommend it for someone who is in the market for a decent if not rock-solid shaver.

Sporty set of earbuds
on November 27, 2019
Posted by: msumulong
from Glendora, CA
Whenever ever you see the brand Adidas, one is almost always given the impression of a premium sportswear brand. However, when one encounters electronics associated with this brand, quite often it is thought that it is often a shallow attempt as a brand extension of the famed sportswear line. Not so with the FWD-01, one of two audio products manufactured with Zound a respectable Swedish audio company.
The FWD-01 is sleak designed pair of winged earbuds by Adidas. The earbuds themselves resembled angles similar to stealth airplanes and sports a grayish color. It has a flat cord which is covered in cloth compared to the usual rubber cords of most wired earbuds. These are IPX5 rated meaning that they are sweat proof which is ideal for sports minded people who want to wear earbuds while working out. And while may notice that the earbuds are on the bulky side, these have the benefit of having a battery life of 16 hours which is twice than the usual 8-hour battery life a definite plus. It has the usual three button controls found in wireless headsets and a dedicated button of voice activated commands. And to further enhance its functions, an app both available for iOS and Android can be downloaded in their respective app stores though you can use the earbuds themselves without using the app.
With regard to sound, the mids and highs are pretty clear and bass is fairly decent. While the average bass levels may not impress bass aficionados, over-all the FWD-01 offers a crisp sound experience. The earbuds also have USB-C which is the current trend in devices nowadays and comes with a neoprene pouch for storage.
And while the price may not be exactly cheap, other earbuds offer similar features thus not giving the FWD-01 a competitive advantage. Given that I would still recommend this for those who want a sporty set of earbuds but I would have to remove one star for this review.

Bluetooth technology seamlessly connects to your smartphone, tablet or PC, letting you stream music or take phone calls with the built-in microphone.

Posted by: msumulong

The Sesh True Wireless In-Ear Headphones is one the latest products released by Skullcandy. Known for its bass heavy sound signature, the Sesh TWS earbuds are no exception to that. However, the mids and highs are somewhat to be desired. Listening to bass heavy genres such as hip hop or old schoo reggae may be fine. But listening to classic rock or even contemporary pop music sounds fuzzy. Classical music and traditional jazz simply lack the fidelity when played with these earbuds. I’ve got a pair of Skullcandy headphones and they do sound better.
Add to that the three-hour battery life of the earbuds themselves with other headphones having four hours. And the additional seven hours the charging case offers pales in comparison too. Generic TWS earbuds offer 15-20 hours on average with some offering 30 or more total hours.
Lastly, the earbuds offer only mono sound coming from the left earbud when calls are being made. It is pretty much standard that TWS earbuds have both earbuds working when calls are made.
It is really hard for me to like these earbuds sonic wise. The only thing I appreciate with the Sesh earbuds is that it is the most comfortable pair of earbuds I have tried. Though not totally bad, but there are other better earbuds out there are this price range.

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.

Meet the second-gen Nest Hub from Google,* the center of your helpful home. Stay entertained in the kitchen with shows, videos, and music. In the living room, control your compatible lights, TVs, and other smart devices with a tap or your voice. And in the bedroom, Nest Hub can help you wake up easier with a Sunrise Alarm.
What are the improvements over the first generation hub?
Soli motion sensing technology was added. You can have basic controls of the hub by just swiping over the screen. But generally Soli is used to track your sleep instead of cameras. Other than that, faster processing and slightly better sound quality were added too.
