We tried Lego Hidden Side, the new Ninjago board game and the powered-up Batmobile.

Digitization is also going on Lego does not pass without a trace. With Hidden Side, the company is (once again) trying to link the topic of smartphones directly to the stones. An AR app, which virtually lures ghosts hidden in the models, should help. Powered Up takes a different approach: In this concept, a Bluetooth-compatible mini-computer is controlled via an app, which is built into the models and in turn drives motors, sensors or lights. We have built up models of both concepts, tried them out and explained which idea scores where.

In the update we also look at the new Ninjago sets. Although they are not networked, they can also be used as a board game and starting point for a Ninjago role-playing game.

The models in our short test. Lego Hidden Side Hidden Side is Lego’s attempt to get started in AR. The idea: You build a Lego model, scan it in the app and then go on a digital ghost hunt. Lego wants to combine virtual games with real bricks. The idea is interesting, but unfortunately it doesn’t quite work. On the one hand, because the app does not run on all Android smartphones. Especially the cheaper devices do not support the app. On the other hand, parents and Lego fans are up against the idea that offline Legos have to be coupled with digital features.

The heroes of the Hidden Side series are two ghost hunters with cell phones and dog. In our test with two Construction sets, the shrimp cutter (number 70419) and El Fuegos stunt truck (number 70421), we remain a bit divided back. Because the actual models are very fun. The ghost idea isn’t bad and shows some pretty clever features, like when the tombstone pops up and shows a monster grimace. These little elements are found in almost all models in the Hidden Side series and are simply fun. We also like the color scheme, this special green is rarely represented in Lego models.

On the other hand is the app. There you play a ghost who haunts the models (which you don’t have to own) in a kind of child-friendly 3rd person shooter. Or you slip into the role of a budding ghost hunter who cleans the ghosts of models he or she owns. For that you get fans and Gloom points, the latter are put into virtual improvements. Fortunately, you have to earn these points, Lego did not use microtransactions. After building a model, you scan it in and then perform tasks such as shooting ghosts. Clever: Each model has a colored rotating element that can be used to influence the difficulty or the tasks in the app. The ghost hunt is fun, but rarely challenging. It’s more of a bite to eat than a full-fledged video game.

Unfortunately, the AR function is also subject to the limitations of the technology. If you modify the model too much, the app will no longer recognize it. For example, we packed the stunt truck on the Batmobile frame (see below) and the app only recognized it after several attempts. That’s a shame. If Lego had used special marker bricks or stickers, you could have upgraded your own buildings with AR features – then your own knight’s castle in the app would have become a haunted castle.

Interim conclusion We like Hidden Side as Idea. A creepy side of Lego, with models that have little peculiarities that you only see at second glance, that’s a cool thing. The integration with the app is nice, but unfortunately somehow forced. It would have been nice if the AR features could be integrated into other worlds and sets – Ninjago is almost an obvious choice. It would have been fun if Lego had developed special stickers or building blocks that can be read out and used in the AR app.

The shrimp cutter and ghost captain. Hidden has a big advantage Side: The prices for the actually new models are already falling significantly. The model “Newbury’s Haunted School” (number 70425) was included in the Lego summer catalog 2019 For 119 Euro announced, now it’s for um the 80 euros. This runs through all hidden-side models. So if you are looking for an inexpensive Lego set with funny gimmicks and an interesting color scheme – and can do without the AR app if necessary – you should grab it.

Update : Despite all prophecies of doom, Hidden Side is still there. We think that’s a good thing because it means that interesting models continue to come onto the market. In 2020 these are mainly in the lower price range. Six models, including the subway station with 348 Share there it for under 20 Euro. So if you like Hidden Side, you can use it to expand your collection.

Lego Ninjago The stories about Lloyd, Cole, Nya, Zane and Co are a real money maker for Lego. No wonder Ninjago continues to expand. In the test this time we had the new dungeon of the skull magician (set number 71722). What is special about this is that it is not just a simple model. The board game is easy to understand: everyone chooses a ninja and notes its values. Then you roll the supplied Spinjutzu die and move the number of spaces. There are a few action fields, for example for traps or to search for treasure.

The fights are simple: You roll the dice again, with a skull you have lost, with a heart you win . If the heroes’ hearts are used up, they lose the game. However, you can find new hearts or equipment on the field. The instructions in the form of a comic are easy to understand and you can start playing pretty quickly.

The rules for the board game are easy to understand, here is an excerpt from the instructions. It will be much more exciting when not only the children play, but when someone takes on the role of game master. In addition to the board game, there is a complete role-playing game based on Ninjago, which can be downloaded for free from the associated campaign page. The players can choose a ninja, everyone has different values, which are divided into the areas of body, mind and resilience. These values become relevant when different obstacles have to be overcome during the adventure. The game master leads the players through the adventures, some of which require different sets of Ninjago. With a little imagination and enough components, you can recreate pretty much any scenario. Here the encounters and rules become much more complex.

Lego Ninjago (9 pictures) The Lego Ninjago play set “Dungeon of the Skull Magician” is both a board game and lets use yourself for a role play.

In solving the problem, Lego has apparently oriented itself towards RPG systems such as Pathfinder: In the adventures, obstacles are represented by a difficulty value that must be exceeded by the players. To do this, they add their respective abilities with a die roll. The system works wonderfully, but it does assume that players can read their characters and interpret their skills. The age specification of 9 years and more is appropriate in our opinion.

The sets from this series can be put together so that you can build up an ever larger field. The model itself is surprisingly complex. Inside there are several elements made of Lego technology, over which different parts of the model move. If you turn the cage downwards, the plates on the main aisle are raised and lowered and the knives rotate to the side. The construction is sometimes a bit complicated for children, but it is a lot of fun.

Interim conclusion The Ninjago-RPG is a good introduction to the subject of pen & paper role-playing games. The system is comparatively easy to understand and thanks to the figures for players and opponents, it quickly becomes plastic. A game master who has some experience can probably quickly develop other encounters in addition to the supplied adventures. And once the kids have tasted blood, you can simply introduce them to other systems. Both The Dark Eye and Dungeons & Dragons have special scenarios and rules for young adventurers.

Lego Powered Up Lego goes a different way at Powered Up. Behind it is basically a Bluetooth-enabled mini-computer to which motors, sensors or lights can be connected. The associated app for Android and iOS then controls the model from the mobile phone and allows rudimentary automatic functions to be programmed. Unlike with Hidden Side, we were able to install the Powered-Up app on all Android phones in the editorial office.

Powered Up controls the motors in the Batmobile via Bluetooth and a simple app. The highlight of Powered Up : Although there are several ready-made sets, control modules can be easily installed and used in other models. In the test, we built El Fuego’s truck from the Hidden Side series on the Batmobile’s engine and were able to control it without any problems. This is Lego the way it should be.

If you dig a little deeper into the app, you will discover a rudimentary code editor. It is reminiscent of the boost sets (test at heise online). Actions can be assigned to up to three quick buttons in the object-oriented editor. For example, the Batmobile races away at full throttle at the push of a button. The code editor is a good first introduction to the programming world, especially for children. The code editor is optional, but thanks to its simplicity it creates quick results

OnePlus 8T review

Introduction

Launching at €599, the OnePlus 8T is shaping up as an excellent premium mid-ranger with a slew of flagship features – a 120Hz Fluid AMOLED, the latest Snapdragon 865 chip, a promising quad-camera with improved low-light performance, stereo speakers, and probably OnePlus best achievement yet – a larger battery with blazing-fast Warp Charge at 65W.

At the company’s fall event this year, a Pro model was a notable absentee. This is because the company keeps the 8 Pro as its ongoing flagship device, and it won’t be getting a refresh until 2021.

The OnePlus 8 needed the update, so we won’t object to this strategic move. We doubt many OnePlus 8 owners are thinking of switching, but it makes the two current offerings that much more desirable for anyone in the market for a new phone.

If we compare it with the OnePlus 8, the 8T is getting a 120Hz OLED vs. 90Hz. At the same time, its main camera gets a brighter aperture for the main camera, an even wider ultra-wide lens, and an additional depth camera. Finally, you get a 4,500mAh battery with 65W charging vs. 4,300mAh and 30W charging. Okay, these are not the wildest upgrades we’ve seen, but for they are enough to make the cheaper OnePlus devices in the duo desirable again.

The €600 smartphone segment is already oversaturated, and it is the place where the flagship killers come to win big or die trying. With the OnePlus being the company that coined the term, its cheaper non-Pro models are burdened with the impossible task to defend the title. As long as they don’t kill the company’s own flagship, of course.

The OnePlus 8T is the first phone to come with the OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11 out of the box. Many of the recent OnePlus phones are getting the update, too, but being first is a title that only the 8T can claim.

Let’s take a closer look at the specs sheet. There aren’t many changes, but it is a flagship-like list, and we like what we are seeing.

OnePlus 8T specs:

Body: 160.7×74.1×8.4mm, 188g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass), glass back (Gorilla Glass), aluminum frame; Colors: Aquamarine Green, Lunar Silver.
Display: 6.55″ Fluid AMOLED, 1080x2400px, 20:9, 402ppi; 120Hz, HDR10+, Always-on display.
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 (7 nm+): Octa-core (1×2.84 GHz Kryo 585 & 3×2.42 GHz Kryo 585 & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 585); Adreno 650.
Memory: 8GB/12GB RAM, 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage.
OS/Software: Android 11, OxygenOS 11.
Rear camera: Wide (main): 48 MP, f/1.7, 26mm, 1/2.0″, 0.8µm, PDAF, OIS; Ultrawide-angle: 16 MP, f/2.2, 14mm, 123˚, 1/3.6″, 1.0µm; Macro: 5 MP, f/2.4; Depth: 2 MP, f/2.4; Dual-LED flash, HDR, panorama.
Front camera: 16 MP, f/2.4, (wide), 1/3.06″, 1.0µm; Auto-HDR.
Video capture: Rear camera: 4K@30/60fps, 1080p@30/60/240fps, Auto HDR, gyro-EIS; Front camera: 1080p@30fps, gyro-EIS.
Battery: 4500mAh; Fast charging 65W, 100% in 39 min (advertised).
Misc: Fingerprint (under display, optical); stereo speakers; NFC.

The OnePlus 8T is not water-resistant, not unless you are getting the T-Mobile exclusive OnePlus 8T+ 5G model, which is the same phone but with IP68 certification. Don’t sigh just yet – the OnePlus 8T does comes with many, if not all, seals and protections the T-Mobile model has. It will most probably survive a water drop, too.

The bright red Never Settle box is already here, and the excitement is building up. The OnePlus 8T may not be among the more interesting updates this year, but c’mon – look at this sweet reviewers’ package!

And now that you’ve seen what we got, here is what you are getting if you choose to buy the OnePlus 8T.

Unboxing the OnePlus 8T

The OnePlus 8T comes packed in what’s already a signature long red box. Inside, you will find your new 8T, be it the glossy Aquamarine Green or the frosted Lunar Silver, and a transparent Never Settle case.

Vivo arrives in Italy with Vivo X51: crazy camera with gimbal. The review

It seemed to us a mere marketing operation, and instead the Vivo X gimbal 51 works, and also works very well. All in a concrete smartphone, without too many frills or super-saturated customizations typical of Chinese production. The company proposes itself in Italy with a very interesting flagship. Here’s everything you need to know about the device.

Vivo X Review 51, stabilization with monstrous gimbal (and more) [/HWUVIDEO]

Vivo has just arrived in Italy and does so with a new line-up of products which includes devices of different price ranges. Like any Chinese manufacturer, it wants to stand out for its decidedly competitive prices in relation to technical content, putting something more into it: innovation (Vivo has already made itself known at various international fairs for having brought first of all different technologies), and software that is very close to stock of Android, with no frills or customizations. The highest-end product is Vivo X 51 5G , with Snapdragon 620 G, support to 5G networks, a top-of-the-range display and a crazy camera in terms of innovation! We have tried it and we can say it: the arrival in Italy of this company is “with a bang”.

Technical specifications

Vivo X 51 looks like a fairly compact smartphone compared to today’s canons, despite the large display 6, 56 “ with matrix AMOLED , resolution obtained from Full HD and HDR support 10 + and ai 90 Hz. The aesthetic is in our opinion sober, with a “frost” effect for the rear glass and a hole design for the display and the front camera, but recognizable thanks to the large rear camera module, a crucial point of the device.

Here we find four modules, all really usable: the main one adopts the omnipresent sensor from 48 MP with a super bright normal lens (f / 1.6) , and is combined with one 2x optical zoom specialized for portraits and bokeh effects (clearly obtained via software and not real), a periscopic zoom with 5x magnification factor (optical) and a module Super Wide with fashion stand lity Super Macro . The peculiarity of Vivo X 51 in the photo area is the presence of a gimbal for the main camera , which works in conjunction with optical stabilization (OIS) and electronic stabilization (EIS). The Vivo system thus allows you to stabilize up to 3 ° horizontally and up to 2 ° vertically, about three times compared to a smartphone with OIS and with the ability to maintain the shooting pose for a time equal to eight times compared to a smartphone without optical stabilization.

This allows very evident advantages on paper in night photography, also thanks to the Super Night Mode which uses cancellation algorithms of noise via Artificial Intelligence, the wide aperture of the main module lens and the possibility of using a tripod mode when it is detected that the smartphone is installed on a tripod, in order to extend the shutter speed even more. The mode can also be used in night portraits , usually very difficult, in astrophotography , through a specific mode, or to photograph the Moon through the use of photos taken by the telephoto lens with 2x zoom and by the main one with stabilized gimbal. The Pro Sports Mode allows instead of taking extremely clear moving photographs, even when the subject to be immortalized is not really posing.

There is no lack of mode Gimbal Super Steady Video , which after our tests we can say: it’s literally awesome. You really have to shake your smartphone artificially to see small vibrations, and it is optimal when you want to record a video inside a racing car, bicycle, or in other particularly difficult conditions. Vivo X 51 forward it supports Smart Zoom , to automatically zoom in on the subject, always keeping it in the center as if it were a real film shot. We then have a front camera from 32 MP which also supports Artificial Intelligence to improve color rendering.

Returning to the design: Vivo X 51 5G is configured as an ergonomic and manageable smartphone, with a finish for the rear called “Dual Tone” made with a process called AG Fros ting. The effect is the typical one of satin glass with two colors, very elegant and pleasing to the eye. The rear camera is set inside two modules with slightly different protrusions: when used without a case the smartphone moves a lot when used on a desk.

Under the body we find the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 G 5G combined with 8GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage space. In the smartphone there is also an independent chipset dedicated to Hi-Fi audio, AK 4377 A , with Hi-Res certification and the ability to offer audio of high quality when paired with good headphones or speakers. The list of technical specifications ends with a battery of 4. 256 mAh with charging support from 26 W (very fast, during our test), USB Type-C connector, and Android 10 on first boot with Funtouch OS customization.

Vivo X 51: prices and endowment

Vivo X 51 is the highest range solution for the company in our market, and is offered at a price of 799 ??. This is certainly not a low price for a device that is sold with Snapdragon 765 G, but justifiable if we consider all the technical paraphernalia in terms of display and camera that the new device brings with it. The equipment also includes a high quality battery charger from 33 W, and a clear silicone case to protect the device without hiding its aesthetics.

Software and user experience

In spite of what one would expect when reading the name, the pers ization Funtouch OS is extremely concrete, without frills. It is not one of those customizations typical of Chinese brands, with extremely saturated and super bright colors. Instead, it is a re-proposal of the stock Android theme with several more features, all extremely targeted. We clearly have the possibility to select the refresh rate of the display, including Automatic, based on the content, 60 Hz or 90 Hz, or the ability to customize some graphic elements such as the animations of the fingerprint scan or recharge, or during activation of the screen.

Vivo X 51 then presents the ultra- game, which allows you to customize the game experience eg by inhibiting notifications, forcing the display update frequency, or even emphasizing the shadow areas in the game environment or highlighting the elements in the brighter areas. The navigation in the operating system can take place both through the three typical Android buttons, and with a gesture system taken up without too much imagination from the default one on Android. Also in this case it seems like a good choice: who has used other smartphones with the Google operating system is immediately at home with Vivo X 51 .

The smartphone is sold with Android 10 on first start, but Vivo promises that Android 11 will arrive “soon”, although we don’t know when yet. Bloatware is practically non-existent, for a smartphone that makes the user experience its strong point. It is difficult to find striking differences between Vivo X 51 and a smartphone with more powerful hardware , since responsiveness and fluidity are almost always exemplary.

Technical analysis

The numbers expressed by Snapdragon 765 G 5G of Vivo X 51 are significantly lower than to those who can guarantee models with the most powerful Snapdragon 865 or even with the Snapdragon 865 +. The differences, however, are not reflected linearly with the user experience. Vivo X 51 is in fact a well optimized device with a more than satisfactory power for the vast majority of the activities that are performed every day on smartphone .

Going to the games, here we see some difference with the flagships with Snapdragon 865, especially with titles with advanced three-dimensional graphics. Compared to devices of the same market range, on the other hand, Adreno 620 integrated performs very well, with Vivo X 51 5G which can unleash a much higher power than the average for the category.

Benchmark

Below are the benchmarks we performed with the terminal.

Display

Vivo X 51 uses a refined curved display on the sides, with hole to leave space to the front camera. This is a panel with a diagonal of 6, 50 “in resolution 2376 x 1080 pixel, therefore derived from Full HD, with support for the refresh rate of 90 Hz and HDR standard 10 + for playing back high dynamic range content Within the Screen Colors screen you can choose three different modes, all with the possibility of adjusting the color temperature through a slider (we would have preferred the possibility of adjusting at least the three dominants). Here are the three modes:

Standard (default) : it is a high chromatic extension mode, with calibration that follows the DCI-P3 standard
Normal : mode with calibration following the sRGB standard
Luminous : has the maximum extension that can be reached by panel without following the dictates of any standard.

Display Analysis

In our analyzes we measured a maximum luminance equal to 1002 nit , extremely high and comparable to what can be obtained with the best top of the range of the same generation. The contrast ratio is not measurable, due to the ability of AMOLED panels to turn off the pixels to reproduce black, and therefore it is easy to deduce that the visibility of the panel is optimal in all circumstances, even in very bright environments.

That of Vivo X 51 is a excellent quality display on the chromatic level. With SDR content, in the Standard, Normal and Bright modes, we found a slight defect in the tonal progression of the gray levels, which are always slightly darker than the reference up to white. This is a vaguely perceptible feature to the naked eye, which in our opinion does not compromise the viewing experience with the smartphone under any circumstances. On the color front, the calibration carried out by the company’s technicians is excellent, both as regards the extension in terms of saturation (large and well controlled), and as regards the fidelity according to the reference standards. In the Standard and Bright modes, the average Delta E of the Macbeth Color Checker colors is less than 3 compared to the DCI-P3 standard, therefore also optimal for semi-professional purposes, while in the Normal mode the average Delta E is 4.1 according to the standard. sRGB. In any case, a very high result. These are values that we hardly see on smartphones, even if we take into consideration the higher-end models. We were favorably impressed with the playback of content in HDR mode: here we got a Delta E of less than 2 compared to the reference DCI-P3 SMPTE 2084 HDR , one of the best results ever in the category. HDR playback of Vivo X 51 is faithful and impactful, also thanks to the maximum luminance of 700 nit, the rather correct trend of the gamma curve and the chromatic precision. In short, one of the best smartphone displays.

Standard, Delta E according to DCI-P3 D 65 = 2.6

Normal, Delta E according to sRGB D 65 = 4.1

Bright, Delta E according to DCI-P3 D 65 = 2.7

HDR playback, Delta E according to DCI-P3 D 65 SMPTE 2084 HDR = 1.6

Autonomy

The battery of Vivo X 51 has an amperage of 4. 315 mAh, average value in the smartphone category that allows you to easily reach the evening without too many compromises. In our test, made by running an automated script that simulates human interaction with web pages after setting the display to a value of 200 nit, the smartphone has reached i 765 minutes , which is also quite typical for smartphones with “normal” size batteries. The charging process is very fast, thanks to the integrated technology that allows a recharge from 33 W.

Camera

L’ photographic experience guaranteed by Vivo X 51 5G goes far beyond what one would expect from a device in its market range , and everything revolves around the stabilization offered by Gimbal plus optical and electronic stabilization. On one side of the screen we can choose between different shooting modes, such as traditional Photo, Video, Night, Portrait Mode, or less conventional ones such as Starry Sky, Super-moon, or the shooting mode a 48 MP natives depriving themselves of rapid processing.

Each mode uses a specific module of the smartphone and allows further possibility of improvement (such as activating HDR or Artificial Intelligence). On the video side we have the Super Anti-Vibration mode, which effectively eliminates unwanted camera movements, and the Movie Camera, which instead enables very “cinematic” zoom effects if you frame a subject at the right distance.

Under normal conditions that of Vivo X 51 is a great camera, with the company having managed to tame very good the difficult sensor from 48 MP. The level of detail is decidedly high, the management of lights and shadows is very good and the colors are particularly bright. The ultra wide-angle camera is less incisive, while the two telephoto lenses guarantee an excellent level of detail in the sunlight, are also valid in intermediate conditions and are usable even in very poor light conditions. In short, four modules, all usable and capable of offering good shooting quality in all circumstances, with a consistent color balance between the different modules. The “magic” of Vivo X 51 is however in poor light conditions, especially with the main camera equipped with gimbal . The photos of the Ferrari puppet on the sofa were taken, even if you wouldn’t think, in very bad lighting conditions: Vivo X 51 uses very long shutter speeds in these conditions, maintaining an excellent level of detail and capturing a huge amount of light. The situation becomes even more interesting with the Super Night Mode, but in both cases the capture of the finest details is guaranteed (see the texture of the pillow on the right).

By activating the Super Night Mode, the color temperature tends to warm, but the recorded details significantly increase. As for the night shot, we see how the smartphone manages to merge multiple shots to provide a good level of detail not only in the shadow areas, but also in the bright ones without overexposing them. The final result is quite good, especially considering that just press a button and you don’t need a tripod ! In the other photos we can see that all the smartphone modules offer true top-of-the-range results, while in some circumstances there is a certain tendency of the camera to set a color temperature that is too hot, compared to the real light present in the environment. This is a problem in our venial opinion, easy to correct in post if needed. <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="338" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jRk8XGoZPR0" width="600">

Another scope where the camera gimbal main surprise is that of video recording. It is possible to enable it or not, guaranteeing the possibility of shooting smoothly and without involuntary movements or vibrations even in 4K. For even more “smooth” shooting there is also the Super anti-vibration mode, which performs a crop and allows you to record at the most in Full HD. In our opinion it is not necessary, because the hardware stabilizer alone does a crazy job: as proof of what we have just said, we have integrated in the page, above, a video made with the device without taking too many precautions during recording and holding it with one hand . In our opinion, the result is surprisingly optimal.

Final considerations

Vivo X Review 51, stabilization with monstrous gimbal (and more) [/HWUVIDEO]

Vivo X 51 was a very pleasant surprise, from a company that it is only opening onto the Italian market today, but which has long been known on the Eastern markets and beyond. FIFA Partner for the FIFA World Cup 2018 is 2022, Vivo is part of BBK Electronics but has nothing to do with Oppo or OnePlus, and smartphones are designed and manufactured in different factories and with proprietary technologies . Vivo X 51, in fact, is a unique product of its kind, capable of innovating and bringing with it characteristics that are absolutely worthy of mention.

We stressed the smartphone far and wide for more than a week, and we were able to witness one of the best user experiences in the category, thanks to a lean and clean software, a targeted and well-researched hardware, a great attention to detail in terms of design. Vivo X 51 is a beautiful, solid smartphone, but also quite compact and light in relation to its display , characterized by hardware perhaps not very powerful, but more than satisfactory for the vast majority of the public. Performance is excellent, and we have never seen any stumbling or uncertainty during use.

The camera is the strong point , clearly, even if we consider the great competition present in the range of market in which the device is inserted (799 ?? for the only version available ). Stabilization is monstrous, and we don’t feel like exaggerating when using this term. It is really difficult to undermine the gimbal of the rear camera, both in video recording (whose fluidity in movements is granite even when shooting with one hand), and in taking photos at night. Thanks to the various modes implemented it is really very difficult to miss a shot, and you can take pictures that are more than usable even in dim light.

Together with the very light software and free of heavy customizations, the display is the icing on the cake: compatible with HDR and the DCI-P3 standard, it shows a color accuracy that we don’t often see even on the most expensive products in the category.

In short, the arrival of Vivo on the Italian market is very interesting. On the one hand, it is yet another Chinese name that also appears on the boot, on the other it is a brand that has already demonstrated its ability to innovate and offer added value compared to the competition. Vivo X 51 is the flagship of the company, perhaps a little expensive but, considering the innovations present, it is in our opinion an excellent business card in Italy for the brand.

The premiere of HTC Desire 20+ reveals the lack of a good plan by the Taiwanese

The Taiwanese producer of consumer electronics has unveiled its new mid-range smartphone. The device itself is interesting, just like a dozen other models that have recently entered the market. There are no strong features that distinguish the phone, with which the equipment could shine from the competition. Both the technical specifications and the external appearance perfectly match the current standards and if it were not for HTC, I would be inclined to praise the model. I will not do it for one simple reason – the company today cannot afford to be “average” in the subject of smartphones. HTC Desire 20 + is too standard, which may affect the manufacturer with hiccups.

HTC Desire 20 + is the latest offer from the stable of a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer. The smartphone offers a decent technical specification and a fresh look. What is its price?

Test HTC Desire 20 Pro – this is the HTC smartphone for our time

On the HTC Desire front 20 + we find a 6.5-inch IPS screen working in the resolution 1600 x 720 pixels. This is the weakest point of the specification, which means that the equipment, although slightly, differs from the competition. It is also hard to look for a refresh rate higher than 60 Hz . In other respects it is already quite predictable. Not the youngest, but the popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 720 G, 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of data memory. The battery is a cell with a capacity 5000 mAh, which with dimensions 164, 9 × 75, 7 × 9 mm and weight 203 mm seems fine.

Selfie camera with resolution 16 Mpix with f / 2.0 light is hidden in a teardrop-shaped notch. On the back, decorated with an interesting texture, there is a rectangular camera module and a fingerprint reader. The photographic kit consists of 48 Mpix main camera (f / 1.8), 5 Mpix ultra wide-angle camera (f / 2.2), 5 Mpix depth detection module and 2 Mpix macro units. The last two lenses are, in my opinion, art for art. I would like to add that the equipment includes a microSD card slot, Bluetooth 5, WiFi ac, NFC and a 3.5 mm jack audio connector. The equipment is priced at 8490 Taiwan dollars, which gives us about 1150 PLN excluding tax.

Xiaomi Mi Watch Color Sports Edition adds more hues with familiar looks

A new smartwatch from Xiaomi debuted in China today – say hello to the Mi Watch Color Sports Edition. As the name suggests this is a sportier version of the Mi Watch Color which is known as the Mi Watch Revolve outside of China. The big difference comes in the casing which is made from aluminum instead of stainless steel and comes in black, blue, and ivory colors. There’s also home and sport dials this time around with the latter giving you quick access when you want to start a workout.

The dimensions are unchanged from the Mi Watch/ Revolve though the Sports Edition weighs just 32.5 grams compared to the 40 grams of its more premium counterpart. There’s plenty of watch strap colors to match the casing options as well as yellow, green and burgundy variants.

Google stops production of its “Nest Secure” alarm system

The production line of the simple alarm system “Nest Secure” will no longer be continued by Google. According to Google, the functionality of the products that have already been purchased should continue to exist. The alarm system appeared at the end of 2017 in the USA, but in Germany it was never sold.

As Google confirmed to Android Police, the “Nest Secure” is no longer sold. The “No longer available” symbol is now denouncing the product on the associated Google page. The simple alarm system had motion sensors and a docking station with a keyboard called “Nest Guard”, with the help of an NFC tag, the alarm system could be armed at the docking.

A surprising microphone The scandal started 2019 when it came out that Google installed a microphone in every “Nest Guard” had without giving any notice. It was just a mistake, Google asserted after it became known. The microphone is for future Upda

E-Perso usage continues to stagnate – although a card reader is no longer necessary

The electronic identity card just doesn’t move: According to the new “E-Government Monitor” by Initiative D 21 and the Technical University of Munich only six percent of those surveyed have used the online identification function – as many as in the previous year.

You no longer need a special reader for the E-Perso: Since 2017 Android smartphones with NFC chips can also read the ID. Since the end 2019 this has also been true for iPhones. According to the e-government monitor, the smartphone has actually replaced the reader as the most common interface, but there has been no progress in use.

Hope for a breakthrough Now the hopes rest on a further planned simplification: From next year on, thanks to “Project Optimos 2.0”, you should be able to identify yourself in the network with your smartphone alone, without having to read your personal information. For this, the ID data should be transplanted into a security chip in the smartphone. So far, however, only one manufacturer – Samsung – has supported the project.

“The smartphone has huge potential for the breakthrough of the online ID function,” said Helmut Krcmar from the Technical University of Munich on Tuesday at the presentation of the E -Government Monitors. What is also needed are “education and more user-friendly applications”.

Progress in e-government overall The e-perso is treading on the spot, but overall, according to the study, there is still progress with e-government: in the year 2020 for the first time used more than half of the respondents in Germany digital administration offers. With 54 percent, the Federal Republic is still behind Austria (72 percent) and the Switzerland (60 percent), which are traditionally also examined in the e-government monitor.

Also in another discipline the Alpine countries are ahead. In Austria 79 percent are satisfied with the digital government services, in Switzerland 71 percent, in Germany only 62 percent, which is 5 percentage points more than in the previous year. In the three countries

Google discontinues its Google Nest Secure alarm system

Google has discontinued its Google Nest Secure alarm system, the company first confirmed to Android Police. And sure enough, if you visit the Nest Secure’s page on the Google Store right now, there’s a big button right at the top that says the product is no longer available.

“Google Nest will no longer be producing Nest Secure, however we will continue to support our security users in all the same ways,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement to The Verge.

Google introduced the Google Nest Secure system in 2017. It was designed to be modular, relying on a small hockey puck-shaped device with a keypad called the Nest Guard as the central hub, sensors around the house called Nest Detects, and NFC key fobs to arm and disarm the system. It also connects to the Nest mobile app so you can get alerts and arm and disarm the system remotely. The Nest Secure system launched at $499, but Google dropped the price to $399 less than a year later.

However, the Nest Guard also had a secret, on-device microphone that buyers didn’t know about until Google added Google Assistant support to the device in February 2019. (A few months later, Google released a set of plain-English privacy commitments about its Nest devices.)

TechStage | Buying advice: Apple Watch clones from 30 euros

Beginning Willful Amazfit GTS Amazfit Bip Fitbit Versa 2 Conclusion Comments by Matthias // 19 . 10. 2020 17: 22 Clock

Apple Watch clones are cheap, stylish and can do a lot. TechStage takes a look at the Willful Samrtwatch, Xiaomi Amazfit GTS, Amazfit Bip, Fitbit Versa 2 and their alternatives.

The Apple Watch is considered the best smartwatch. It owes this to its pleasing appearance, the high-quality workmanship and above all the high range of functions. Your problem: The current version costs at least 400 Euro and only works with iOS devices.

But there are alternatives. The Willful Smartwatch is very popular on Amazon thanks to its low price and great visual similarity to the Apple Watch. Huami also competes with the Apple group in the wearable sector. The Xiaomi daughter is only about five years old and sold 2018 already most wearables worldwide. It also owes this to its Xiaomi Mi Band series. In our test, the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 (test report) and the Xiaomi Mi Band 4 (test report) convince with their strong hardware and the unbeatable price-performance ratio. With the 3 series we complained about the bad localization, the 4 series, on the other hand, does everything right and consequently receives the grade ” Very good” our clear purchase recommendation.

Willful Smartwatch The Willful Smartwatch is the most popular smart watch on Amazon. Depending on the color, it costs between 30 and 40 Euro and offers a lot of features for its low price. This includes tracking the steps taken, the calories burned and the kilometers traveled. It also measures the pulse, sleep and uses the GPS of the smartphone connected via Bluetooth to show a route, for example while running. It also shows incoming messages and calls, controls music and has a flashlight, timer, stopwatch, mobile phone location and breathing trainer.

It looks a lot like the Apple Watch. She is 12 millimeters thick, 35 mm wide and 41 millimeters long. Your 1.3 inch display is with 240 × 240 Pixels nice and sharp, sufficiently bright and offers usable viewing angles. However, the display edge is much too thick, especially on the lower side. Remarkable: Despite its low price it offers an IP 65 certification. You should be able to swim with it without hesitation. Salt water should be avoided.

The bracelet offers a quick-release fastener so that it can be swapped with one hand. It’s made of a soft plastic and feels good on the skin. According to the seller Willfull, the battery should last seven to ten days. In practice, we still get a good five days. It is charged using the charging adapter supplied.

Willful Smartwatch (17 Pictures) The Willful Smartwatch has a sharp and quite bright display.

When using the app, you can quickly see why the watch is so cheap. For example, when setting up for the first time, it is not possible to set the unit from feet to centimeters and from pounds to kilograms when specifying your own height and weight. In this case, Google will help with the conversion. The notification function only works with some apps, including Facebook, Instagram, SMS, Messenger and Whatsapp. When it comes to music control, the app gives the user the choice between Spotify, Youtube Music and Google Play Music. If desired, the app exchanges with Google Fit and Strava. Overall, however, the app is okay, if a little confusing. It offers a lot of setting options.

Not surprisingly, the Willful Smartwatch cannot do ten times keep up with such expensive apple watch. Nevertheless, it is just for its low price of 28 to 40 euros worth a recommendation. They are almost identical in construction from other retailers on Amazon and from various China retailers.

Amazfit GTS At the IFA 2019 showed Huami an Apple Watch clone that has it all. The Amazfit GTS is visually very similar to the Apple model, offers very good workmanship with a metal frame, water resistance up to 50 m and a very beautiful, bright and colorful 1, 65 – inch OLED touch display with a resolution of strong 400 × 348 Pixel, which is easy to read even in direct sunlight. The Amazfit GTS even manages to undercut the weight and dimensions of the Apple Watch and surpass the battery life. Huami states ten days here. In practice it is even significantly more days.

Huami Amazfit GTS (7 pictures) In terms of its range of functions, you have to accept compromises compared to an Apple Watch. Nevertheless, the Amazfit GTS does a very good job both as a fitness and sleep tracker and as a smartwatch. It supports twelve activities, including walking, running, cycling, swimming, climbing and skiing. It also records GPS data and shows the distance covered in the app. The athlete can see his current pulse at any time on the Amazfit GTS display. The display shows incoming messages reliably, the vibration alarm is strong. However, pictures and emojis are left out and the smartphone must also be used to answer.

The Amazfit GTS costs well 85 Euro.

Amazfit Bip The Amazfit Bip is the predecessor of the GTS. It also looks like the Apple Watch, is up to date with 55 Euro but only half as expensive as you Amazfit GTS. For this, your color display solves with 100 × 127 pixels significantly lower, the display is 1, 28 inches also much smaller and therefore the display edges thicker. The housing is made of plastic. The Bip is waterproof and GPS is on board. In terms of battery life, the Amazfit Bip outperforms most competing models. So should the little one 190 – mAh battery the clock 45 Keep going for days. A value that many testers confirm. It also offers many fitness and some smartwatch functions. Users complain about their sometimes poor localization. However, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable, here many buyers can certainly overlook one or the other defect.

Fitbit Versa 2 The Fitbit Versa 2 (test report) and its predecessor Fitbit Versa (test report) largely look like the Apple Watch. In the following we describe the Versa 2, which we recommend if you are interested in buying. It costs about 30 euros more than its predecessor, but offers, among other things, the payment option Fitbit Pay via NFC, more sophisticated fitness options and the much nicer display. This is 1.4 inches tall, loosens 300 × 300 pixels and uses OLED technology, the perfect black level of which is particularly impressive on a smartwatch. Above all, OLED saves the battery, as black pixels do not convert any energy. This lasts for about five to six days with normal use, with an activated Always-On-Display the time is halved. We really like the integration of the voice assistant Alexa, which is activated via the button on the side. Despite the WLAN option, the whole thing only works if the connected smartphone is nearby. The Versa 2 app is very good. We would have only wished for a few more watch faces. The clock only saves one thing locally, which is no longer up to date.

Fitbit offers the option for everyone who wants to leave their smartphone at home while exercising To save MP3 files to the Versa 2. Fitbit does not reveal how big the memory is, but it should be used for 300 Songs are enough. She owns

Huawei Mate 40 Pro – we got to know the appearance and specification of the smartphone

Not so long ago, we waited for new Huawei smartphones with bated breath, especially since models such as P 30 Pro or Mate 20 Pro were once considered to be one of the best devices in their class. Unfortunately, the loss with the American government was not kind to the Chinese, as as a result the manufacturer lost the ability to use Western technologies and is already installing Google services on its phones. No wonder then that models such as Mate 30 Pro and P 40 Pro were just a curiosity with us … Will it be the same for Mate 40 Pro? Rather yes, but it does not change the fact that we are preparing an extremely interesting smartphone with considerable possibilities. What do we already know about it?

The premiere of the smartphone will take place 22 October. Electronics fans definitely have something to wait for, because a piece of a decent device is being prepared. For others, it may be just an expensive curiosity …

SoC Kirin 9000 from Huawei Mate 40 Pro tested in Geekbench

Huawei Mate 40 The Pro does not seem as groundbreaking as previous Chinese flagships. The device will have 6, 76 – inch AMOLED screen with unusual resolution 1344 x 2772 pixels (pixel density 456 ppi) with refresh 90 Hz The panel will again have curved edges, but Interestingly, this time there will be no shortage of physical buttons to adjust the volume or turn it off fingerprints. The heart of the new Mate will be the Kirin chip 9000 made in the 5 nm process and equipped with an integrated 5G modem. The processor will consist of a large Cortex-A core 77 with a clock up to 3, 13 GHz, three more A 77 working with clock 2, 54 GHz and four small A units 55 (2, 04 GHz). The GPU is a Mali-G chip 78, which should leave even Snapdragon graphics behind 865 +. In Europe, Huawei reportedly plans to sell a version with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1. The China version will go to 12 GB of RAM.

The rest of the specification is completed by a battery 4400 mAh with support for wireless and network charging 65 Android system 10 with Huawei Mobile Services, as well as a USB Type-C port and Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and Wi-Fi 6 modules. and dimensions 162, 9 × 75, 5 × 9.1 mm at weight 212 grams.
