Apple iPhone 12 review

Introduction

Blast Past Fast. It’s an apt tagline with Apple skipping the S models and going straight to the iPhone 12 from the already fast iPhone 11.

But it’s not just the improved speed that you’d be getting. The iPhone 12 also comes with a slew of other upgrades, including a new design with improved durability, an OLED screen, and 5G support. The new OLED screen has smaller-than-ever bezels, plus there is also the new magnetically attached MagSafe charging support. It is also one of the lightest iPhones you can buy. What’s not to like?

All iPhone 12s adopt a new design language, and that’s probably why Apple skipped the S moniker, which was due this year. Honestly, the design is not exactly new. It’s more like Apple is returning to its roots by bringing back the iconic design of the iPhone Series 4 and 5. And boy, have we missed that.

The best part about the new iPhone 12 is that you can get it in mini version at an even lower price without losing a single feature.

Apple just can’t make do without controversy, and 2020 is no different. This year the iPhones are losing the bundled in-box accessories – no more chargers, no more EarPods. What you get in the new unbelievably thin box is just a USB cable. And we fear it’s only a matter of time until this one goes away, too.

The new exclusive software tricks available only on the iPhone 12 include Night Mode on all cameras and Dolby Vision video capturing.

Just like it was with Series 11 and the toughest glass one Earth, now Series 12 has even tougher glass panels called Ceramic Shield, still made by Corning. The iPhone 12 duo also gets aluminum frames replaced with stainless-steel ones on the iPhone 12 Pro pair.

Apple iPhone 12 specs:

Body: Aluminum frame with matte finish, Ceramic Shield front with oleophobic coating, Ceramic Shield back with glossy finish, IP68 certified for water and dust resistance. Black, White, Green, Blue, Red color options. 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.4 mm, 164 g.

Battery: 2,815 mAh battery, 20W fast charging, 15 Qi wireless charging (MagSafe)
Misc: Face ID through dedicated TrueDepth camera, stereo speakers, Taptic Engine

Unfortunately, no previously sacked features make a comeback on the new iPhones – the 3.5mm jack and the 3D Touch are gone for good. There are no changes to how iOS handles files, too.

We are glad that Apple was so nice to keep the 2019 prices, but it’s not that simple, isn’t it? Now, if you want to buy a charger and a pair of wired earphones, you will have to pay additionally €25 for the 20W Apple adapter (or similar USB-PD charger) and €20 for Apple’s EarPods. And speaking

Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite in FCC – we know the look and specification of the watch

Xiaomi is very efficient at moving both in the segments of smart mobile devices and all kinds of wearable gadgets. The Mi Band bands offer a great design and specification for relatively little money. The issue of watches looks a bit worse. Xiaomi Mi Watch, despite its attractive form and very good technical specification, cannot stand out above the competition. This is due to the high valuation of the product. The manufacturer does not think to let go of the aforementioned market segment and is preparing a strong blow. No, I’m not talking about another expensive watch, but about the economical version of the current model, i.e. the Mi Watch Lite. Timer passed FCC certification.

Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite smart watch has passed FCC certification. We already know the appearance of the device and its partial technical specification.

Review of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 smartband – invariably invincible

Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite looks like Apple Watch and OPPO Watch. The edges are much more rounded than in the first generation of the device. The equipment will be equipped with 1, 41 – inch rectangular screen (I suppose – OLED) that supports touch. The brightness of the display is regulated by the operation of the light sensor, the battery with a capacity 230 mAh can be charged with 5 W. There is also a built-in GPS, working 24 hours a day heart rate monitor and water resistance to a depth of 50 meters. The equipment is able to detect user activity, including swimming.

Samsung Galaxy Watch3 smartwatch test – fitness rich

For Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite we will be able to use Android smartphones from 4.4 up and Apple iPhones running iOS 10 up. There is no certainty about the time of the premiere yet, but it is said that the watch may debut later this year. Will this happen, the next few weeks will show. Perhaps Xiaomi is slightly holding back the presentation due to the upcoming Christmas shopping frenzy, which usually begins at the end of November. As I suppose, it will also hit Polish store shelves soon.

OnePlus Watch reportedly further delayed

Earlier this month, OnePlus teased a OnePlus smartwatch is on the way and “just a matter of time”. Although OnePlus didn’t have a concrete announcement or release date for such a device, a new report suggests the smartwatch project was “indefinitely delayed” – this according to Max Jambor via Voice.

The same leaker contradicts his own report from a while back that suggested the OnePlus Watch would be announced in October.

In 2016 first rumors about a OnePlus Smartwatch surfaced. At the beginning of the month, OnePlus itself have a hint at the OnePlus 8T Launch Event that a smartwatch could be launched in the near future that might bear the name OnePlus Watch.

A few weeks ago, I announced that the OnePlus Watch would be presented in October, but according to the latest information from multiple sources, there are some changed regarding the launch.

According to my information, the OnePlus Watch announcement has been postponed without any new date. Now I don’t know the reasons for this step, but my guess is that there are some complications with the production or software development.

The leaker speculates that production or software development may have caused more severe delays for the new smartwatch. Based on the timing, it’s possible that OnePlus might still be able to get this product to market before the Holiday season, but based on the fact that we only were shown a teaser for this watch based on old sketches, we might be waiting until well into next year before we see a OnePlus smartwatch render.

— OnePlus (@oneplus) October 14, 2020

It’s been reported last month that the new device would borrow its design from the vivo Watch that was announced in September. We wonder if OnePlus plans to put the latest Snapdragon Wear 4100 Platform that’s a significant update in performance and efficiency over the 2100 and 3100 Platforms. Currently, the only smartwatch with this new Platform is the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 GPS, which retails for $299.

The prospect of a OnePlus Watch will be intriguing. The brand already has a lineup of TWS earbuds and all that it’s missing to complete the trifecta is a smartwatch.

Amazfit GTR 2 and GTS 2 go global, UK and US get them first

Amazfit introduced the GTR 2 and GTS 2 in China last month. Today the wearables finally escape the domestic market and set off for the United Kingdom and the United States, before covering the rest of the world.

UK Date of arrival
US Date of arrival

Amazfit GTR 2
£159 / $179
October 30

November 15
November 1

You will be able to purchase the Amazfit GTR 2 in Obsidian Black only, while the GTS 2 will come in Midnight Black, Desert Gold, Urban Grey.

The two devices in the Amazfit GT 2 lineup might have the same pricing and largely similar core functionality, but they differ significantly on a few key aspects.

The first and most obvious is design – the GTS 2 has a rectangular aluminum body with a 1.65″ AMOLED display and 20mm silicone straps. The GTR 2 on the other hand has a round 1.39” AMOLED display and comes in two versions – a Sport edition with 22mm silicone strap and an aluminum body and a Classic edition with stainless steel casing and 22mm leather strap.

The other major difference is battery life – the 246mAh battery of the GTS 2 can go through a week of regular use and up to 20 days in power saving mode. The GTR 2 has a much larger 417mAh cell that lasts 14 days and 38 days, respectively.

Finally, the weight differs with the GTS 2 sitting at 24.7g without the strap compared to the 31.5g for the Sport edition GTR 2 and 39g for the Classic edition.

Beyond that the two are essentially identical, packing a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, gyro, air pressure sensor and ambient light sensor. They have built-in GPS and GLONASS receivers too and sport 5ATM waterproofing. They can track 12 different sports and use Bluetooth 5.0 to pair with your phone.

Amazfit GTR 2 • Amazfit GTS 2

Both devices have a speaker and a built-in microphone that can trigger Amazon Alexa, but the feature won’t come out of the box – Amazfit is promising an OTA upgrade “soon”. It will arrive first in the US and users will be able to do all the menial tasks they usually do with their home speaker like asking for the weather or adding an appointment to the personal calendar.

Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite appears in FCC listing with key specs and images

An upcoming Xiaomi smartwatch appeared in the FCC’s database revealing its key specs and design. It’s the Mi Watch Lite which may be launched as Redmi Watch in markets like China and as the name implies its shaping up to be a more affordable alternative to the brand’s Mi Watch which was announced last year. The listing contains a full look at the wearable’s retail box with a snap of its design as well as its key specs on the back.

We can see the Mi Watch Lite features a square casing and a single button on the right-hand side alongside a silicone watch strap. Around the back we find the smartwatch comes with a 1.41-inch HD color display, built-in GPS, swim-proof design and 24-hour heart rate tracking. It’s powered by a 230mAh battery which does 5W charging. Pairing with a smartphone is done over Bluetooth 5.1 with any Android 4.4 or iOS 10 and above device.

Mi Watch Lite key specs

The box also reveals multiple sports modes though we don’t get a full list. It’s also noteworthy that the device bears the REDMIWT02 model numbers which further implies it will launch under the Redmi brand in some markets. The smartwatch was previously certified by UL Demko and China’s MIIT so the official launch may be just around the corner.

Smart heating creates comfort and saves energy. This reduces the running heating costs. In this buying guide, we show you what to look for when buying.

When the talk is of smart heating, in most cases you mean radiator thermostats with an app connection, which replace the old, manual ones . These sit directly on the radiator and regulate the temperature there. We have tested many of them in the past. Which is the best, we show in the top – 10: The best smart radiator thermostats. There is a large comparison in the comparison test 2020: The best smart radiator thermostats. We collect all guides and individual tests on our Smart Heating topic page.

In addition to the radiator thermostats on the radiator, smart solutions are also possible directly on the heating system or on the underfloor heating. What they all have in common is location-independent control via smartphone and voice control via Alexa and / or Google Assistant and / or Siri. They often need a bridge, get on with room thermostats and other smart home devices, and offer special functions such as geofencing. This purchase advice gives an overview.

Smart radiator thermostats Smart radiator thermostats can be used wherever there are classic radiators with rotary controls, the thermostat, in the room. This “stupid” thermostat can now be made “smart”. In the vast majority of cases, this works quite easily. All you have to do is loosen a screw ring with a pipe wrench or a French, remove the old thermostat and replace it with the new one. Great technical understanding is not necessary for this. Nobody has to fear water damage either, as the water cycle remains closed. Installers should not take too much time, as the radiators can be turned on fully without the thermostat screwed on and can get very hot.

Tado Thermostat V3 + (11 Pictures) It only becomes complicated when the radiator is hidden behind panels or a fitted kitchen, for example. Here you should make sure to buy a relatively small radiator thermostat. We recommend the thermostats Wiser Heat, Fritzdect 301 and Tado V3 + have an advantage because they are smaller than Innogy, Homematic IP, Comet DECT, Bosch and Eve Thermo.

The thermostats from Tado offer a bayonet lock to make them easier in hard-to-reach places to install. On the other hand, they can be detached from the radiator with a handle, for example to replace batteries.

Heating system If you have access to the heating system, it becomes confusing. This is simply because there are countless variants, including thermal baths, central heating or district heating. Tenants with central heating do not have the option of installing smart extension boxes there and have to limit themselves to local room control. If you have access, the expansion box switches directly in front of the boiler and connects wirelessly or wired to a wall thermostat.

The Homematic-IP control unit for underfloor heating. Before buying, you should be clear about whether the targeted solution supports your own heating system. If you don’t have an exotic in the basement, that shouldn’t be a problem. For example, Tado claims in its compatibility guide to support almost all heating systems. All providers of corresponding solutions provide such a list. The app usually guides you through the installation, which is no longer as simple as replacing a thermostat. If in doubt, we recommend consulting a specialist installer.

Once installed, they function similarly to a smart radiator thermostat. The extension boxes work best and most reliably with the room solutions in the form of a thermostat from the same manufacturer.

Bridge For central control, the thermostats usually communicate via a wireless connection standard with a bridge, which is either in the WLAN or directly on the router. But there are exceptions. Eve Thermo (test report) communicates directly with Apple devices via Bluetooth, Android is not supported. A Bluetooth bridge is also available on request, more details here. With it, the Eve solutions are permanently in the network, so location-independent control is also possible from the office, for example. AVM Fritzdect 301 (22 Pictures) Also AVM Fritzdect 301 (test report) and Comet DECT Thermostat (test report) come in a starter pack without a bridge, as they connect directly to a compatible Fritzbox via DECT (7490, 7580 and 7590 compared). A bridge is simply not necessary here, which saves money and an additional device that is permanently connected to the power – if you have a DECT-capable router.

Most other smart radiator thermostats use a proprietary radio protocol 868 MHz. Devolo (test report) relies on Z-Wave and Wiser Heat (test report) on Zigbee. Nevertheless, they absolutely need their own bridge. Because Wiser Heat does not connect to the Zigbee bridge from Philips Hue (test report starter kit) or a Zigbee-enabled Amazon Echo Plus 2 (test report).

The bridges are usually attached to the router via LAN cables. Some like the bridge from Tado use the router’s USB-A port for power supply, others like the bridge from Bosch (test report) require the supplied USB power supply unit. Bridges with WLAN, as offered by Wiser and Netatmo (test report), have the advantage that they can be placed regardless of location and do not block a LAN port on the router.

functions All smart thermostats come with an app. There the user can determine the current target temperature and set schedules. This usually also works from the cellular network, so it is location-independent. Some thermostats are based on the current outside temperature when setting the temperature. If you switch them off in summer, they turn the heating on and off again at regular intervals so that the valve, the pin on the radiator, remains movable.

Bosch smart radiator thermostat (8 images) All smart radiator thermostats have a temperature sensor, most of them log the actual temperature. Some also measure the humidity and include it in the statistics. On request, many detect a sudden drop in temperature, such as occurs when a window is opened for ventilation, and turn off the heating. Sounds good, but in practice it often works less well than hoped. In some cases we had to put an ice pack on the radiator thermostat to provoke it to turn off. In the case of underfloor heating, such an automatic system does not make sense anyway because of its inertia.

Some systems such as Tado support geofencing, i.e. include the location data of the residents. Tado turns off the radiators when all residents are out and back on when they approach. Others understand complex if-then routines or the IFTTT automation service, which is now chargeable.

If you attach particular importance to data security, you should look at the solution from AVM and Eve. There the data is not stored in the cloud, but on the router, or in the devices themselves or on the mobile device.

Netatmo smart radiator thermostat – screenshots (33 Pictures) Basically, all systems respond to calls after being appropriately integrated, making temperature control particularly convenient. Few of them, such as Tado Thermostat V3 + (test report) and Netatmo (test report), know the three big voice assistants from Google, Amazon and Apple. Almost everyone knows Alexa, but not Eve Thermo (test report), who only listens to Siri.

The systems differ significantly in terms of their range of functions and the usability of the app. For a better overview, we recommend our comparison test 2019: The best smart radiator thermostats and then reading the individual tests.

Smart Home The thermostats use an integrated sensor to determine the room temperature, which, due to the design, is always very close to the radiator. For many, the buyer can set an offset temperature via the app, i.e. always subtract a few degrees from the measured temperature in order to get closer to the actual temperature in the middle of the room. Using a room thermostat is more elegant and accurate. This then hangs, for example, near the couch, where the comfortable temperature should be achieved. Most systems have their own room thermostat for this, but not all.

Wiser Heat (6 images) In general, if you are interested in using it when deciding on a system, you should make sure that there are other compatible smart home components. For example, a window contact helps to reliably turn off the heating when the window is open.

Prices The prices of the individual thermostats vary from about 25 to 70 Euro. In larger households with many radiators, this can add up to considerable amounts. The thermostat from Comet is very cheap, followed by Innogy. Buyers have to buy a little more for the temperature controllers Homematic IP, Bosch, Fritzdect 301 and Wiser put …. on the table. The most expensive system comes from Tado. It should be noted here that with Innogy after twelve months and with Tado V3 + from the start, follow-up costs are incurred for some functions in the form of a subscription model.

An AVM Fritzdect 301 Thermostat (test report) costs about 45 Euro, the Compatible Comet DECT thermostat (test report) currently only good 30 Euro. You connect directly to a Fritzbox, there is no additional bridge. This means that entry into the smart heating world with the AVM / Comet solution is relatively cheap, provided you already have a compatible Fritzbox. Bosch smart radiator thermostat (test report) wants for its starter set consisting of two thermostats, a window contact and the bridge 175 Euro.

In the Homematic IP starter set (test report), buyers will find a thermostat and the access point as well as an optical window contact. If you want to integrate the Homematic IP thermostats into your existing Homematic system, you can do without the access point and use the individual thermostats, which are for example 50 Euro.

Eve Thermo (test report) costs well 60 Euro. An iPhone, iPad or Macbook is required for setup and operation. The Innogy starter set comes with 135 Euro for three thermostats and the bridge almost a bargain compared to the others. Each Innogy thermostat (test report) costs about 50 Euro. Innogy sells many other compatible smart home components. Attention: After twelve months, subscription fees apply.

The Tado Thermostat V3 + (test report) costs about with a thermostat and bridge Euro. With Wiser Heat Thermostat (test report) the entry is because of the cost-intensive WLAN-B

The device does a lot better and is still only of interest to a few.

Foldable smartphones are the future. At least that’s what the manufacturers who build them say. But regardless of that, that sounds conclusive, after all, with the size of today’s smartphone in the unfolded state, you can achieve full usability thanks to a display that is larger than 6 inches when opened, or half the size of today’s smartphone. With Samsung’s first smartphone with a foldable display, the Galaxy Fold 5G (test report), we focused on the advantages, while we were happy to turn a blind eye to the obvious disadvantages of the first of its kind. There are now several foldable models – from our own company, but also from the competition. Accordingly, the air becomes thinner and mistakes like in the first fold are increasingly important. With the successor, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G, the manufacturer has learned a lot and avoids some pitfalls that were annoying with the first release. Is that enough to make it onto the mass market?

Design One of the biggest flaws of the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G ( Test report) was the much too small display on the front of the folded smartphone. It was little more than an information screen, nobody really wanted to work on it, although it offered this option as a full-fledged touchscreen. Apart from the lack of practicality, which repeatedly forced the user to open the somewhat clunky smartphone, the tiny panel with the much too thick edges also looked absolutely old-fashioned. Samsung does it differently with the successor.

There is now a 6.2-inch and thus largely format-filling external display, which thanks to OLED technology again offers an always-on display. It comes in the elongated 25: 9 format and thus differs significantly from the almost square interior display when unfolded, even if it doesn’t seem that much larger at 7.6 inches on paper. Although the exterior display with its more modern dimensions is much better designed than its predecessor, owners of the Fold 2 still do not get a conventional user experience. This is due to two things: On the one hand, the edges around the panel are still too wide for this – especially in view of the high price of the Galaxy Fold 2. On the other hand, the second fold is also far from being considered handy.

Although the construction depth of 17, 1 millimeter on the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G (test report) to 16,8th Millimeters has shrunk, but this progress is rather negligible. That doesn’t change the fact that the device is still pretty thick when folded and is therefore noticeable in every pocket. Also not so nice, even if more and more common in expensive top smartphones: The camera unit of the Fold 2 stands out clearly from the otherwise elegant glass housing (Invictus glass aka Gorilla Glass 6), as in the models of the S and Note series. The eye-catching hinge, with which the Fold 2 is opened and closed, looks like its predecessor at first glance, but Samsung actually worked hard on this. Even if there are no changes to the basic functionality (among other things, the two insides of the display still do not close flat to protect against scratching and the shape of the hinge means that the smartphone is still reminiscent of a harmonica) there are certainly innovations . The Fold 2 can now be opened at any angle so that it can be placed on the table like a small laptop. Thanks to adapted software, this is recognized and used accordingly – more on this in the Equipment chapter.

As with the predecessor, there is nothing to complain about in the processing. Irregular gaps are just as rare as a crunching hinge. As with the first fold (after its initial problems), this is very durable and robust. Despite its potential fragility due to glass as a material, this applies to the entire smartphone – also because of the aluminum frame with the perfectly embedded antenna joints.

All pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G in the test (26 Pictures) Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G Display Samsung is building a 6.2 inch OLED display on the outside of the Galaxy Fold 2 5G with 2260 × 816 (386 ppi) and inside a 7.6 inch OLED with 2208 × 1768 Inch (378 ppi) a. Both screens are capable of HDR 10 + and enter content with 120 Hz again. In the test, both panels impress with great color intensity, rich black and excellent contrasts. The viewing angle stability is perfect, it couldn’t be better. The brightness is with 256 cd / m2 sufficient in manual mode, it increases in automatic mode for a short period of time again significantly longer than 816 cd / m2. With this, Samsung again offers top values as with models like the Samsung Galaxy S 20 Ultra (test report) or the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report).

The opened interior display is particularly impressive, which in addition to the qualities described above also scores with its sheer size. With very similar housing dimensions compared to the predecessor, the display diagonal has grown from 7.3 to 7.6 inches, with Samsung making the greatest progress with the placement of the front camera. While the manufacturer housed the first Galaxy Fold (test report) in an expansive giant notch, which disturbed the overall impression, especially with format-filling content such as videos, Samsung uses a contemporary punchhole notch for the new model. This not only looks much more modern, but is also much less disturbing when using it. In addition, the screen is now completely rectangular without indentation.

Giant display – the fold in the middle no longer bothers after a short time Samsung Uses Invictus glass from Corning for the casing of the smartphone, while the surface of the foldable screen consists of a proprietary mixture of glass and plastic. It feels more like glass than before and should also be significantly more scratch-resistant, but you can see and feel the kink as before. This is especially noticeable with dark content and even then you get used to it quickly, so that the wavy transition is hardly noticeable later.

Camera Samsung installs three cameras in the Galaxy Fold 2 5G, all three offer 12 Megapixels. The main camera offers an aperture of f / 1.8 with optical image stabilization (OIS), the second f / 2.4 with OIS and double magnification and the third lens f / 2.2 and wide angle. A dedicated front camera would not be necessary at all, as the main cameras can be used for selfies thanks to the folding mechanism, Samsung still packs an additional front camera 10 Megapixels and f / 2.2 with in the device . This allows users to snap selfies without opening the smartphone beforehand.

Main camera similar to Note 20 Ultra The picture quality is on the whole on the level of Samsung Galaxy S in good light 20 Ultra (test report) and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (test report). Image noise is almost impossible to find, the image dynamics are convincing and colors are banned sufficiently naturally into the memory. Image sharpness and image details are convincing overall, even if a few competitors such as a Huawei P 40 Pro (test report) still slightly ahead. There are restrictions in comparison to the models mentioned above in two respects: The teleoptics only allow 2-fold optical magnification, here are now 3, 5 and even 10-subject possible. In addition, the performance in the lowlight area cannot quite keep up with the models listed. Videos with the Fold 2 5G look almost like they were recorded with a steadycam, the image stabilization is so good even in 4K / 60. The Selfiecam delivers good results, but for optimal image quality, users should rather access the main camera right away.

Furnishing As with the predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G (test report), Samsung does not use an in-house Exynos-P for the Fold 2 either processor, but a Qualcomm chipset. The new model is a Snapdragon 865 +, that of proud 10 GByte RAM is supported – no wonder so that the model performs absolutely smoothly and extremely quickly. In conjunction with the 120 Hertz of the image reproduction, the smartphone reacts in all Life situations quickly and incredibly directly. In addition, scrolling through menus or in the web browser is wonderfully fluid, only smartphones with a higher Hertz number can do that. In the Antutu benchmark, Fold 2 achieved correspondingly convincing 565. 00 0 points.

When it comes to hardware, there is hardly anything that does not exist. Wifi 6, LTE and 5G, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, USB Type C 3.2, in this country “only” 188 GByte internal UFS 3.1 memory with expandability via micro SD card and the new short-range radio Ultra Wide Band (UWB) – what more could you ask for? We also really liked the stereo speakers that are positioned to the left and right of the display and emit powerful and loud sound. The fingerprint sensor in the power button works quickly and reliably. In addition to the built-in eSIM, users can now also insert a physical SIM into the Fold 2 and can therefore look forward to dual SIM operation.

In addition to the new hardware, Samsung has also given the Fold 2 great software that has been adapted to the large, foldable display. As indicated, the hardware also manages intensive multitasking with ease, the user interface allows multiple apps to be displayed at the same time, which can be easily moved using drag & drop. In addition, the software reacts when the display is opened at any angle – for example, to put it on the table like a small laptop. Programs such as Youtube or the camera app then switch to a two-part view that offers additional options. In the examples mentioned, users can then watch the video they want and at the same time search for other videos or scroll through the comments. In the camera app, the viewfinder is still shown at the top, while the last pictures are shown in a larger view at the bottom – practical.

The software detects when the display is angled and changes the display to some apps In general, users can choose between tablet and smartphone mode. In tablet mode, icons are smaller, so more fits on the screen. The smartphone mode is like other Samsung smartphones. Some apps such as Outlook or Spotify also automatically use the tablet view in opened mode in order to be able to display more information. On our test device is Android 01 with security patch from October 1st installed.

Battery pack The flexibility of the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G with its two fully usable displays naturally requires a strong battery – otherwise the fun will come to an end quickly. The predecessor convinced despite only 2260 mAh strong battery positive and achieved permanent load

Retrofitting a wallet with a battery, bluetooth tracker, USB stick, RFID protection and even a cell phone? No problem and not even expensive, as our purchase advice shows.

Probably the most popular smart feature of a wallet is an RFID protection against money or data theft. But Bluetooth trackers are also increasingly finding their way into wallets. In this buying guide, we present wallets that already have these and other functions with them. We will also show cost-effective solutions to “retrofit” RFID blockers, Bluetooth trackers, power banks, multi-tools, USB sticks or even an entire cell phone. Pitaka MacWallet UE The MacWallet UE from Pitaka is an exceptional wallet. On the one hand, it consists partly of aramid fibers, also known as Kevlar. The material is particularly robust, light, heat and cold resistant. On the other hand, the wallet is made up of several layers that hold together magnetically. Each layer uses a larger magnet as the axis, several smaller magnets can be flush or in the 45 – Open the degree angle “snap in”. So the purse either keeps closed or reveals its contents.

Pitaka MacWallet UE (9 images) The Pitaka MacWallet UE …

When opened, the buyer has access to cards or banknotes, provided he has also ordered the banknote compartment. That works surprisingly well and reliably. However, the MacWallet UE is also neat. Including the bank note, it measures 10, 3 × 7.1 × 1.6 centimeters. Despite its size, it only holds five cards and around four banknotes. In it, two metal plates protect a card from unauthorized RFID access.

Visually, in terms of its workmanship and its unusual, modular concept, the Pitaka MacWallet UE knows how to please. However, it is too big for us and does not hold enough cards. Nevertheless, it is a real eye-catcher. If you want to afford it: It costs 89 Euro, the bill compartment costs again 30 Euro.

On the first it should 10 Lumen, which corresponds roughly to the light output of a weak smartphone LED. In the second stage, the Lite Wallet supposedly manages up to 144 Lumen, which far outshines the flashlight function of a smartphone. The light distribution is largely homogeneous. It’s nice that Ledlenser not only offers charging via USB-C but also wireless Qi chargers (the best 2020) supported. The Lite Wallet offers RFID protection for the cards.

Ledlenser Lite Wallet (9 pictures) Unfortunately, the Lite Wallet has some disadvantages, which probably disqualify it for many users. On the one hand, it is comparatively large empty with the dimensions of 9.6 × 7.0 × 1.6 centimeters, especially thick and with a weight of 115 Grief right heavy. However, only five cards and a few banknotes fit in here. If you squeeze in more, you can no longer close the push button properly. There is no compartment for change.

In addition, the Ledlenser Lite Wallet is about 70 Euro very expensive. Sure, the flashlight is good and bright. However, there are even lighter ones that are also compact for a fraction of the money. They are not integrated into the wallet right away. We can still easily imagine an application. The bright LED at night could blind potential attackers and make them flee.

The Ledlenser Lite Wallet can be purchased on the manufacturer’s website.

Retrofit Bluetooth trackers and USB sticks There are simple ways to upgrade your cherished wallet with Bluetooth trackers. Bluetooth finders in credit card format such as the Tile Slim (test report) are particularly practical. It is only about three millimeters thick and still offers a decent range. Its disadvantage: the battery is permanently installed. After all, according to the manufacturer, it should last three years. The Orbit Card-Tracker (test report) also comes in credit card format and even has a rechargeable battery. We have summarized all test reports and a lot more in our key finder theme world. Including our comparison test: Twelve Bluetooth key finders.

For those who regularly save data on a USB stick and always want to carry it with them, there are solutions in credit card form. The USB stick from Aricona linked in the price comparison offers 8 GB of storage and is largely made of metal.

There is room for around eight cards and banknotes, there is no change pocket. The special feature is a compartment for a Bluetooth tracker in a classic form. This fits in there well, there is no risk of losing it. The associated app also does its job properly.

Unfortunately, the Fixed Smart Mini Wallet consists of a very thick leather, so that it already has a Bluetooth tracker and no additional content Thickness of almost 1.5 inches comes. The tracker alone makes up 0.5 millimeters of this. But there are now countless purses on the market from around 19 Euros that already integrate Bluetooth.

More offers in the Heise price comparison RFID blocker Wallets without their own change pocket are enjoying growing popularity. More and more wallets are already integrating RFID protection by default. This is to prevent unauthorized persons from debiting NFC-enabled bank cards or accessing data. The c`t colleagues show how easy this works in the article “With 29 – Euro payment terminal: It’s so easy to fish contactless cards “.

Some of these wallets only cost a few cents on Amazon. However, the retailers refinance themselves through the shipping costs that are incurred for each individual product.

RFID blockers are even cheaper. Ten cases in credit card format cost here 23 Cent including shipping costs. RFID protection cards in credit card form are a bit more expensive, but still affordable. Like a bun in a burger, they cover the outer cards in the wallet and thus protect the NFC cards against data theft. We find slots for wallets without their own change pocket that have space for bid a few coins. The Xcase Coin Case is not very cheap at just under 4 euros, but is made of metal. This makes it particularly robust and at the same time protects the cards behind it from unauthorized RFID access.

For this they are with a price from 30 Euro very cheap and with a thickness of 5 millimeters are comparatively little bulky. An interesting alternative as an emergency mobile phone. What else is there in this area, we have contribution purchase advice: Emergency cell phones to 20 euros combined.

Power banks are without question very practical. After all, there is hardly anything more annoying than when the battery of your smartphone or Bluetooth headphones runs out of power at the wrong time. But what use is the best power bank if it is not at hand at the crucial moment? Battery packs that fit in a wallet can help here.

The Revolt Powerbank Mini offers a capacity of 2500 mAh. That is enough to charge the empty battery of most smartphones by around half. Practical for older smartphones and many gadgets: A micro USB plug is permanently attached to the power bank. Similar to an RFID blocker, the NFC cards behind it are protected from data or money being tapped. However, it has one major disadvantage: it is slightly larger than a normal exercise card and therefore does not fit into some wallets.

If you want, you can buy a wallet with an integrated power bank. These are not even expensive, as the Xcase protective cover shows. It integrates a 2500 – mAh -Powerbank and also has five compartments for cards or banknotes, which are also protected against unauthorized RFID access.

If you want that, you don’t have to buy a new wallet for it – there is appropriate protection for a few cents. But the Bluetooth trackers, which are very practical in everyday life, also fit in every wallet. Whoever wants, gets from 20 Euro wallets that have already integrated a Bluetooth finder.

TechStage | Sports watch Garmin Venu Sq in the test: price tip for athletes

Beginning Design Furnishing App Training Sleep Music Payment Battery life Price Conclusion Comments by Sara // 26. 10. 2020 13: 30 Clock Garmin has given the Venu sports watch a visual update with the Venu Sq, with a low price and many Functions want to convince. We clarify in the test whether the new Garmin Smartwatch is suitable as an insider tip.

As an update of the well-known Garmin Venu, the Venu Sq from Garmin is aimed at fitness-conscious users who value a smartwatch with extensive tracking functions. Because the Venu Sq already starts at a price of around 92 euros, it could turn out to be a real insider tip for price-conscious Garmin fans. We tested the Venu Sq as part of our sports watch theme, compared it with the Garmin Venu (test report) and checked whether the new edition fully exploits its potential.

Design The Venu Sq expands the Venu series. The classic Garmin Venu becomes a premium device with a circular housing and AMOLED display. The Venu Sq relies on a rectangular design with LCD, protected by Gorilla Glass 3. Like its predecessor, it also has two control buttons on the right edge, which are discreetly embedded in the plastic housing of the watch. The bezel of the watch is made of scratch-proof aluminum.

The Garmin Venu Sq. Garmin has considered another innovation for the Venu Sq in addition to the shape of the case: The manufacturer has taken on the user interface and brought the design into shape. The basic structure of the UI has remained the same, but Garmin has changed the individual icons slightly. The interface of the Venu Sq looks a bit more modern than before, but it does not have any major impact on usability.

Like the Vivoactive 3 Music (test report), the Garmin Venue Sq is available in two versions: With internal music storage for about 5000 songs and bluetooth or without. Here, too, the addition “Music” identifies the variant with a music function.

Facility The setup of the Venu Sq is simple and uncomplicated as usual with Garmin. We load the Garmin Connect app on our smartphone, create a Garmin account and pair the watch with a pairing code via Bluetooth. We also select the desired language when we start the watch for the first time. Unlike the Venu, this time the Venu Sq changes the units of measurement accordingly. If we select German as the operating language, the watch will automatically display all measurements according to the metric system.

App Anyone who already owns or has used a Garmin Smartwatch will quickly find their way around the Garmin Connect app. Switching from a Garmin watch to the new Venu Sq works without any problems via the device selection. Even Garmin newbies get the abundance of data that the app records with the help of the smartwatch, presented very clearly and intuitively.

Well-known functions of Garmin Connect also work with the Venu Sq: We can record and plan training units, collect specific successes and join groups, save equipment (and track e.g. kilometers run with a certain pair of running shoes) and emergency information save or share live locations. The watch also has an integrated accident notification, which the Venu Sq uses to send its own location to the emergency contacts stored in the smartphone if it detects an accident or we request emergency help ourselves.

Training As usual, Garmin shows its full strengths when it comes to training: We can use the Venu Sq to record various sports ourselves, including various running and cycling variants , but also golf, rowing, winter sports, SUP, strength training or Y oga. If we cover a distance in the respective sport, the Venu Sq tracks the covered distance via GPS. After the training we can look at a summary in the app, but also directly on the watch display – including route map and other data such as calories consumed, kilometers covered, steps and so on.

The sports program on the Garmin Venu Sq. As usual with Garmin, the GPS works very reliably: We ran the same route three times in the test, with the Venu Sq always recording the same result for the distance. The watch also found a GPS signal fairly quickly within about ten seconds. Unfortunately, like the Venu, the Venu Sq does not support route navigation.

Runners and cyclists can use the free training plans available in the app with the Venu Sq. The smartwatch then reminds users of upcoming training sessions as soon as they start a session. We can then choose whether we want to start a workout from the plan or just train like that. The app offers detailed explanatory videos for all units, so that the training plans are also very suitable for beginners.

Incidentally, the Venu Sq offers the same water resistance as the Venu with 5 ATM and is therefore suitable for showering and swimming, but not for diving. If you want to record a swim training session, you can set the length of the pool beforehand so that the watch counts the lengths you have covered. The Venu Sq can also count during strength training, which in the test works better than many other smartwatches with similar functions, but still not quite optimal. We tried the watch on an Olympic weightlifting session with snatch and overhead press. The watch registered four out of five repetitions in a sentence and was not bothered by the complexity of the exercise. If the smartwatch does not record our repetitions correctly, we can at least make improvements in the app. There you can also enter the weights you have moved and add additional exercises – the app offers a selection of several hundred different exercise variants, from truck pulls to bench presses and one-armed kettlebell pulling to specific activities such as sitting overhead triceps with dumbbells. If you want to do without an analog training diary, you will definitely get a usable alternative here, even if there is still a little room for improvement in the actual recording of the repetitions.

Garmin has an ace up its sleeve for the Venu Sq: Because the watch is not only compatible with training plans for runners and cyclists from the app, but also allows Training with pre-installed workouts in the areas of cardio, strength training, yoga and Pilates. If you want, you can also create your own workouts via Gamin Connect and then display them on the Venu Sq.

Sleep Because Garmin has not changed much in the design of the Venu Sq compared to the previous model, the new smartwatch is just as comfortable to sleep and practically does not attract attention. The Venu Sq automatically records the phases of sleep and reliably measures times of falling asleep and waking up. It also measures pulse and respiratory rate as well as blood oxygen saturation. We can see the results of the previous night at a glance on the app’s start screen and click on sleep tracking to get a detailed overview of all sleep data.

The integrated vibration alarm clock works reliably, but does not recognize any sleep phases. A corresponding third-party app from the Garmin IQ Shop can help here, but it has a significant impact on battery life. The alarm clock of the Venu Sq has a snooze function that we can program individually. Finally, the Garmin Connect app asks us about our usual sleep time, so that the smartwatch automatically deactivates incoming notifications during this time if desired.

Music Garmin offers the Venu Sq both with and without a separate music function. Who decides on the music variant, for which, depending on the model, about 50 Euro surcharge are due, you can load your own music comfortably into the onboard memory of the smartwatch, as with the Venu . This works without additional software. The music can then be played on the go via Bluetooth headphones without us needing our smartphone.

The Venu Sq without music memory also has music control, which only works in combination with your own smartphone. We can install related apps for Spotify and Deezer on the Venu Sq or control the music played on the smartphone via the integrated music interface. All in all, the music control of the Venu Sq worked absolutely exemplary in our test. Coupling with various Bluetooth headphones also worked without any problems. Many other smartwatch providers could learn a bit from this.

The heart rate monitors of the Venu Sq and the charger. Payment The payment function of the Venu Sq has not changed compared to the previous model: Unfortunately, we are still dependent on our bank accepting credit card payments via Smartwatch supports – and the offer is still quite limited. However, if you have an account with a bank that offers such a service, you can set up Garmin Pay easily using the Garmin Connect app. The payment is then uncomplicated and problem-free.

Battery life Garmin promises a battery life of up to six days for the Venu Sq. We activated the notifications and sleep tracking in the test and also completed at least one training session per day including GPS tracking.

The Venu Sq lasted around five days before it reached a charge level of ten percent. This means it lags behind pure fitness trackers and high-end smartwatches, but it offers more battery life than the previous model. Because the Venu Sq is fully charged within an hour, we rate the battery life of the Venu Sq as positive.

Price Depending on which variant of the Venu Sq we choose, the watch costs between around 195 Euro (square display, no music function) or 244 Euro (square display, music function) and 244 Euro (round display, music function). Garmin also charges an additional surcharge for certain color variants.

Smart home technology such as surveillance cameras, alarm systems and lights promise protection against burglars. What do they do in practice?

Of the 25. October is the day of burglary protection. It takes place at the same time as the time change, because the twilight season also begins with it. It gets dark earlier, so it is easier for thieves to clear out apartments under cover of twilight when the residents are not at home.

The good news is: The number of break-ins is falling. Of course, this is of no use to those affected. Much worse than losing your valuables is the feeling of not feeling safe in your own home. In addition to the mechanical security recommended by the police – such as safe door and window fittings – electronic security can now be retrofitted with smart alarm systems with app control (purchase advice), surveillance cameras or lights with motion detectors.

Lighting Light scares away dark figures. We don’t have to say a word at this point about classic construction spotlights with LEDs and motion detectors for the driveway, garden and back of the building. Worth mentioning, however, are the inexpensive outdoor lights with LEDs, solar panels, rechargeable batteries and motion detectors, which have been available for a number of years and provide light on the garden fence or shed without an expensive power supply. You don’t tear a hole in your pocket, neither financially nor in terms of the amount of work involved. The video image of the Ring 2 is still attractive even at night. Much more exciting are outdoor lights with integrated WLAN surveillance cameras. You simply replace them with existing lamps with motion detectors; they don’t need anything more than electricity. The Ring Floodlight Cam (test report) is bright enough to illuminate the courtyard and driveway, shows live images via the app and loads recordings with movement into the cloud. The Netatmo Presence (test report) or the Blaupunkt Wifi Lampcam (test report) work similarly.

Thanks to wireless, battery-operated motion detectors, smart lighting systems for the garden are no longer just suitable for mood lighting. The self-sufficient sensors with radio connection can be attached to walls, fences or even flower pots. In addition, you determine which smart lights should switch on in which brightness and color when something happens.

Alarm systems They are often seen as a panacea and are the first thing tech fans think of when breaking in. But they have a very big disadvantage, which the nomenclature already reveals: In official German, alarm systems are called burglar alarm systems and that is exactly what they do. They report when a break-in has occurred. They react when it is actually too late, when the bad guys are in the house.

Depending on the equipment, they can also be a deterrent. A clearly visible external siren leads, at least for some of the perpetrators, to the fact that the house is less interesting; you don’t want to be caught. But this is more true for organized gangs who want to clear as much as possible in the shortest possible time. Procurement crime can be prevented just as little as targeted break-ins. For the latter – with all due respect – most of us are likely to be of little interest.

There are compatible outdoor sirens for the more professional alarm systems. Smart home alarm systems in particular also make you feel good, as the author knows from personal experience. A quick glance at the associated mobile phone app shows: doors and windows are closed, no movement detected, everything is OK. Even when you spend Christmas in the South Pacific.

It is important that you think about what should actually happen in the event of an alarm before buying. It would be professional to activate a security center, which 24 / 7 reacts and, in case of doubt, sends a private guard or the police over. However, this is expensive and cannot be done with most smart home alarm systems – you have to budget a few thousand euros and regular costs for such a system. In the case of smart home systems, one or more contacts are usually specified that the system informs in the event of an alarm; Residents, neighbors or relatives. In combination with a surveillance camera that enables a view into the apartment or house, you can determine from a distance whether there is really a problem and then react accordingly – but with the risk of missing one or the other message.

The sensors from Gigaset Elements not only react to opening, but also to shaking – they can detect break-ins even before the window is opened is levered. We have already carried out tests on the smart home alarm systems from Abus (Smartvest), Bosch (Smart Home Alarm), Gigaset (Elements), the Ring Security alarm system (test report) and Somfy (Home Alarm). Beginner sets, consisting of the always necessary alarm center with internet connection and a few sensors (magnetic contacts for doors and windows as well as motion detectors) cost about 150 to 300 Euro. That is enough for an installation in a small apartment, if you want to secure an entire house, you should buy larger starter sets or get additional sensors. You can find more information on this in our article Planning and installing smart home alarm systems yourself.

The systems from Gigaset and Bosch are particularly easy to set up. The most professional ala rmsystem in comparison is the Smartvest from Abus; Anyone looking for a connection to other smart home components should take a closer look at Somfy Home Alarm. The Taphome alarm system with GSM module or the Blaupunkt SA are significantly less smart, but can also be used without a DSL connection in the holiday home or the allotment garden. – R (Review).

The Blaupunkt system does not require WiFi to inform owners about incidents Both models inform in the event of a break-in via SMS – in the A SIM card is integrated into the systems and sends messages. Those who don’t have WiFi in their holiday home or allotment garden will find a good alternative with these models. Cheap SIM cards are available at every petrol station. We recommend cards that have cheap SMS prices and a starting credit – after all, the gazebo is not broken into every two hours. Ergo cards with for example 01 Euro starting credit and 9 cents per SMS for more than 100 Break-ins. Internet is not necessary.

We have put together some tariffs: The Prepaid Basic S from Congstar with 9 cents per SMS, and 7, 50 Starting credit costs 5 euros. At Lidl there is the Connect Classic with 9 cents per SMS and 10 Euro starting credit for 10 Euro.

surveillance cameras Also surveillance cameras prevent in contrast to more stable door – and window fittings do not break in, but they can deter and help with the investigation. We recommend combination cameras with LED headlights especially in dark places. During the test phase of the Netatmo Presence (test report) we were able to drive away a potential burglar. The light activated by the motion detector was apparently enough to scare away the stranger who was visiting the tester’s garden.

The light of the Netatmo Presence scared off an unknown person Please note the data protection. This is comparatively unproblematic as long as you hang cameras in the house or if external cameras only film your own property; public space – streets, sidewalks, parking lots and so on as well as neighboring properties are taboo. Almost all cameras now offer options with which you can hide or pixelate sensitive areas. You can find more about this in the respective individual test in our topic area on surveillance cameras.

The facility is often quite simple. Thanks to WiFi, in many cases only one power supply is required for the camera. Most products for private users simply save the data in the cloud. This requires registration with the provider and in many cases there is a small monthly fee for the storage, but you do not have to operate your own network storage (NAS in the comparison test), nor can bad guys simply let the memory card or hard drives go with you.

Indoor cameras with WLAN can be used wherever there is a socket. We compared various WLAN surveillance cameras for indoor use. Our favorites are the rotating and swiveling Instar IN – 8015 (test report), the Netgear Arlo Pro (test report), which also works with battery and comes with seven days of free cloud storage, as well the Somfy One (test report). The latter also integrates a small alarm system and is compatible with the Somfy Home alarm system (test report). If you don’t want cloud storage, you should take a look at the Netatmo Presence or the EufyCam 2c (test report). Both models offer local storage at no additional cost and without cloud.

The Ring Spotlight (test report) is interesting for outdoor use. It has a PIR motion detector, informs the user about movements by push message on the smartphone, sends the video stream in the event of an alarm via WLAN to the cloud – and, depending on the application, runs by battery, plug-in power supply or the optional solar -Panel also without a socket; for example in the garden shed or in the garage. Ring is also available as a doorbell Ring 2 (test report) with a WLAN connection. So you can always find out what’s going on at the door via smartphone app; it doesn’t matter whether the visitors ring the bell or not.

Alternatives to permanently installed cameras are the Arlo Pro (test report), Arlo Pro 2 (test report) or EufyCam 2c (test report). These cameras are battery operated and can be screwed, placed or attached magnetically.

Thanks to the solar panel, lights, Also operate surveillance cameras & Co. independently – for example on the garden fence or house. Here in the picture is the optional solar module for the ring

Oppo is working on a new navigation algorithm offering accuracy up to 1 meter

Oppo has announced its new RTK technology that greatly improves navigation precision. According to the company, the new algorithm can achieve 1-meter accuracy without any additional equipment. This should be good enough for per-lane navigation as well.

Oppo is working closely with China Mobile to implement the technology, which in turn is working on deploying the ground-based system and 5G towers. What RTK does is collect all the information from the GPS, the cell towers, all of the sensors inside the phone including the accelerometer, gyroscope and even the antennas of the handset. The algorithm also works against interference from other equipment.

As of now, up to 1-meter accuracy is something that can be achieved only by using professional equipment used for surveillance and mapping. Oppo and China Mobile believe that the tech will be commercially available starting next year in China. We are yet to see how this tech can be implemented outside of the country of if there are any

More than an entry-level smartphone should the new cell phone be able to do it, but not cost a lot? We show the best smartphones up to 300 Euro.

Even some 100 – Euro Smartphone now has a surprising amount of technology to offer, like our guide: How many smartphones are there by 100 Euro shows impressively. Nevertheless, modern mid-range cell phones can do a lot more, but buyers have to spend a few more euros for a noticeable technological leap. This is noticeable in almost every area of the equipment. But be careful: As always, older models are attractively priced, but we recommend smartphones that are older than 2019 are to be bought only in exceptional cases. We have for this top 10 even only on devices 2020 – this is the only way to ensure a long update supply.

Display In the price range up to 300 Euro should be excluded from smartphones that offer less than Full-HD + as resolution. In addition, there are the first OLED screens in this price range, which score with a particularly good black value, high contrast, intense saturation and excellent viewing angle stability. In addition, there are now more and more models with a higher refresh rate of 90 or even 120 Hertz on the market. This means that content can be played back even more smoothly. Currently under 300 Euro but mainly LCDs with a higher Hertz number to be found, OLEDs still have 60 Hertz. In our display compendium we give a precise overview of screen technologies and resolutions.

Storage For the main memory, 6 GB should be the lowest limit be in the internal memory 128 GByte – why accept less when there is so much problem under 300 euros there? A few models even offer 8 GB of RAM and / or 144 GByte expandable data memory.

Chipset Especially in the middle class, there are many smartphones with Mediatek chips that are now available but more and more models of chipsets from market leader Qualcomm. The Mediatek chips are usually quite competitive in terms of performance, but have disadvantages in terms of update supply and sometimes in terms of power consumption. In our opinion, there are no real reasons to avoid such models. If you want to be on the safe side, you can of course look out for smartphones with Qualcomm or Huawei chips. The “cheap manufacturers” like Spreadtrum can no longer be found in this price range, the same applies to chipsets with fewer than 8 CPU cores. Examples of reasonable chips are Mediatek Helio P 70 or G 90 T, Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 or 765 or the Huawei Kirin 802.

Camera The majority of smartphones up to 300 Euro comes to the customer with a quad cam, but interested parties must be attentive here. Because while top models beyond the 580 Euro meanwhile deliver a universally applicable package with main, wide-angle and telephoto lens as well as depth sensor, set in the one discussed here Many manufacturers still like to use macro lenses instead of telephoto lenses. To make matters worse, they are often coupled with a very low number of megapixels. These low-resolution macro cameras are usually hardly usable in everyday life, so that of the four cameras advertised, not three, but only two can really be used meaningfully. We have this topic in our budget phone with triple cam guide: More than a marketing gimmick? extensively illuminated.

Other equipment The new data standard 5G is up to 300 Euros are usually not represented in smartphones, but that should come stronger sooner or later. However, this is not yet necessary, as at least in Germany the network coverage with 5G is currently extremely patchy. Otherwise, mid-range smartphones now offer almost everything that the upper class has. This goes from fingerprint sensors on the screen to NFC, Bluetooth, WLAN and GPS to USB-C and fast charging functions. The limitations are often in the details. So far Wifi-6 has hardly found its way into the middle class up to 300 Euro, instead users with Wifi-5 ( 802. 11 ac) take preference. Waterproofness and wireless charging are also extremely rare.

Place 1: Realme X 50 5G The first place in our ranking is occupied by the Realme X 50 5G (test report). It’s not just the only model in our top 10, which despite the price is now just below 300 Euro masters the new radio standard 5G, but it is doing very well in all other respects. So that gives 6, 57 inch large IPS Display 120 pictures per second again, the model has a quad cam with up to 64 Megapixels as well as wide angle and telephoto lenses and it is made of the strong Snapdragon 765 G driven. 6GByte RAM, 128 GByte internal (expandable) memory and a 4200 mAh stronger Battery with 30 -Watt fast charging complete the great overall package. Android 10 is also included ex works, as is the case with almost all competitors in this list.

2nd place: Realme 6 Pro Also just below the 256 – The Realme 6 Pro has fallen (comparison test). When it comes to the screen, there are only a few differences to the first-placed sibling model, but the panel on the 6 Pro only manages 90 Hertz. The camera structure is also largely in agreement, again the manufacturer relies on a quad cam with up to 64 Megapixel, wide angle and telephoto lens. In contrast to the X 50 comes the realme 6 Pro with 3.5 millimeter connection and contrary to the Realme 6 (test report) it is powered by a Snapdragon 720 G driven. In addition, there is an impressive 8 GB of RAM and 122 GByte of expandable internal memory. The battery is with 4300 mAh slightly larger than the X 50, but loads just as quickly.

3rd place: Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite Xiaomi, which has often played at the top of our leaderboards in the last few months, “only” comes third with this update. The Xiaomi Mi 02 Lite (test report) offers for the first time in our top 10 an OLED display with HDR 10 + – Support, depending on personal taste, this can be more Its value as IPS with 90 or 120 Hz. But the model is clearly behind the camera. Although there is also a quad cam in the data sheet, it consists of 48 – Megapixel main camera and wide-angle, the rest consists only of macro and depth of field lens that are superfluous in our experience. In addition to the 3.5 millimeter lens, there is the infrared transmitter that is mandatory for Xiaomi models. The powerful Snapdragon serves as the drive 765 G, which is also in the first-placed Realme model. 6 GByte RAM and 122 GByte of expandable memory are otherwise standard in this price range. The 4160 mAh are only available with 20 Watt filled, that takes longer than with the competition.

4th place: Realme 7 Pro And another Realme model: The brand new Realme 7 Pro also shines with an OLED display and relies on Quad-Cam with up to 64 Megapixels. This time, however, there is only one wide angle, plus macro and depth of field sensors. A telephoto lens is unfortunately missing – that is in the price range up to 300 Euro however still mostly normal. The Realme 7 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 720 G, which is flanked by 8 GB of RAM. The 128 GB of internal memory can be expanded, as is almost always the case with Android models. A highlight of the new model is the battery with 4500 mAh starting with 65 Watt can be charged quickly.

5th place: Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Xiaomi is really mixing up the market with the Poco range. The Poco X3 NFC (test report) costs well below 300 Euro and is the cheapest model in our current top 10 – and yet it is not in last place. Instead in the middle: No wonder with an almost 6.7 inch IPS display with 120 – Hz playback and 64 – Megapixel Quad Cam – even if it unfortunately also consists of macro and depth of field sensor. When it comes to the drive, however, the smartphone is back at the top: The Snapdragon 732 G cannot keep up with top models, but it ensures very good performance in everyday life. The chip is supported by 6 GByte RAM, in the version described here everything is written with 128 GByte internal memory combined. 5160 mAh ensure good stamina and thanks to 33 – Watt fast charging the battery is filled again.

Place 6: Motorola One Fusion + With the Motorola One Fusion +, the manufacturer has made a good hit. The 6.5 inch screen represents HDR 10 – content, the Quad-Cam snaps pictures with up to 64 Megapixels. The wide angle is also useful – in contrast to macro and depth of field sensors. A Snapdragon 730 provides a lot of power, with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GByte internal memory buyers are on the safe side. The battery is with 5000 mAh quite persistent, reloading works with 15 Watts but only partially fast.

Place 7: Vivo Y 70 6, 44 Inch OLED – that sounds good. Such a screen is in the Vivo Y 65, a main camera is also included 48 Megapixels. Unfortunately, the triple cam is flanked by macro and depth sensors, and usable lenses such as wide-angle or even tele-optics are unfortunately missing. The Snapdragon 665 in the smartphone is no longer one of the latest chips, but still does a very good job and comes to the customer with 8 GB of RAM. For data stand 128 GByte of internal memory available – of course, expandable. With 33 watt is of the 4100 mAh strong battery right again

Autonomous robots deliver food to US university campuses

At Oregon State University in the US city of Corvallis, autonomous robots from Starship Technologies deliver food to students on campus 20, Professor: inside and staff of the university. The six-wheeled delivery robots have been in use there since Wednesday and should enable contactless food deliveries in times of the corona pandemic in order to avoid infection between human suppliers and customers.

According to Oregon State University, the idea of delivering food with robots originated before the corona pandemic. The University of Oregon Housing & Dining Services worked with Memorial Union Retail Services to develop plans for delivering food to campus. The spread of the corona virus and the temporary closure of the university in lockdown would then have contributed to the implementation of the project.

With AI to the delivery location Compact six-wheeled delivery robots are used, which are also equipped with an orange pennant so that they can be better seen on the paths. The entire campus, which is around two square kilometers in size, was mapped by the robots using GPS so that the delivery points could be precisely approached with the aid of a computer. A robot can take a maximum of around nine kilograms of food.

The robots use a combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and sensors to safely avoid obstacles and reach their destination without accidents. A team monitors
