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.

More offers in the Heise price comparison Purse with flashlight Ledlenser has a wallet with a built-in flashlight in the Lite Wallet Portfolio. The flashlight offers two levels of brightness. 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.

More offers in the Heise price comparison Wallet with integrated bluetooth finder If you don’t want an external key finder, you can take a closer look at the Smart Mini Wallet from Fixed. 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. A selection can be found here in the price comparison.

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.

More offers in the Heise price comparison Mini cell phones and power banks Warning, now it’s getting wild: If you like, you can even have a fully functional Carry a credit card-shaped cell phone with you The cell phones are suitable for little more than making calls or sending and receiving SMS. 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.

The bird shoots the tiny emergency cell phones, which also fit in every purse and remain ready for use for many weeks when switched off. The devices cost well below 20 Euro.

heise + | Fritzbox and DNS encryption: analysis with Wireshark

All devices that are Internet-capable use DNS queries to determine the IP addresses of servers so that they can be addressed. This is the case, for example, when a browser controls the domain ct.de – the configured DNS resolver, usually that of the provider, then supplies the IP address 193. 99. 144. 80. The browser then calls this in order to establish an HTTP connection to the server. Because the devices send such requests to resolvers in unencrypted form and many times a day, external intelligence services or spies can create profiles of users.

DNS-over-TLS (DoT) is one of the protocols that prevent this. A DoT client first establishes a TLS-encrypted connection to the configured DoT resolver and communicates with it through the TLS tunnel. This is also the case with Fritz boxes; they protect all connected WLAN and LAN clients. In other articles we have detailed information about setup, monitoring and test results with FritzOS 7. 20 reported.

In order to examine more closely how the Fritzbox proceeds with DoT communication, one usually looks at packet recordings. The box conveniently provides recordings of your Internet traffic itself, unless it is a provider model from Vodafone or another (fritz.box/support.lua, section “Packet recordings”). It copies the data flow of the selected interface to the browser, which then saves it as a PCAP file on the local PC (e.g. fritzbox-vcc0 _ 31. 09. 20 _ 1824. pcap). If Wireshark (download) is installed, a double click on this file is enough to open it.

iOS updates soon also via 5G

Thanks to 5G, Apple is now also releasing larger downloads over the cellular network. As users of iPhone 12 and 12 Pro report and Apple has confirmed in a support document, iOS Updates can be downloaded and installed without WiFi. There is a new switch called “Data mode” in the system settings. This can be found under “Settings”, “Mobile Network” and “Data Options”. If you use the dual SIM function – but 5G operation is currently not possible at all – you select the number under “Settings” and “Mobile network” whose options you want to change.

“Allow more data” can be preselected Under “Data mode” has three options that can be selected as soon as 5G is activated. According to Apple, “Allowing more data in 5G” allows “functions with higher data usage for apps and system tasks” to run over the cellular network. “These include FaceTime with higher quality, HD content in Apple TV, Apple Music tracks and videos as well as iOS updates over the cellular connection.”

Important: Third-party apps are also allowed to be more mobile Pull data. This is also “the standard setting for some unlimited data tariffs that are dependent on the wireless provider”. So users should check what is preset for them.

Settings modes and smart data Is in “data mode” If the middle value “Standard” is selected, the iPhone works as usual. From a certain file size, only WLAN is allowed. There is also the “data saving mode” as a third option. This helps to “reduce the use of WiFi and cellular data by stopping automatic updates and background tasks,” says Apple.

5G itself can also be configured. This is possible in the “Language & Data” area. If 5G is set to “automatic”, the so-called smart data mode is active. “If 5G speeds are too none

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

heise + | Fanless mini PC barebone with a fast processor

The ultra-compact barebone DS 10 U7 with a fast Core i7 CPU can work silently. For some details, the manufacturer Shuttle also has practical solutions up its sleeve.

Mini-PCs like the Shuttle DS 10 U7 often work with notebook technology, to combine compact dimensions with high performance, they rely on an external power supply and have neither a screen nor integrated input devices. In contrast to notebooks, the stationary minis have a few options for use in dusty surroundings and the possibility of working in complete silence, which is interesting in the recording studio, for example.

The from around 720 Euro available DS 10 U7 is a barebone, where the user still has to provide RAM and a hard drive or SSD as well as an operating system. Ubuntu Desktop 20. 04 LTS was missing the WLAN driver ex works, which we initially did as “additional driver” under “Applications & Updates”. We carried out the measurements under Windows 10 64 Bit 2004 with 2 × 32 GByte DDR4-RAM and a Samsung SSD 970 Pro by. The slots for RAM and data carriers are accessible through two flaps, each secured with a screw, which unfortunately had a bit of play in our test sample and was therefore rickety.

The SSD can handle transfer rates beyond 3.3 GByte / s, the abundant USB ports barely manage 40 MByte / s (USB 2.0) to around 1 GByte / s – but are all of type A. The 15 – Watt processor from Intel’s two year old whiskey -Lake family brings 970 points in Cinebench R 20 – Multithreading test and 876 points in the Office test SYSMark 25 useful performance.

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

The MSI MEG Infinite X 10SE-660 in the test: A solid high-end computer

Page 1: The MSI MEG Infinite X 000 SE – 660 in the test: A solid high-end computer

After our review of the MSI MEG Trident X 10 SF – 1043 we now also provide the big brother to the test. The MEG-Infinite-X series is aimed primarily at players who want to play the latest graphics cracker without restrictions and do not want to have any tinkering effort. We have the latest generation with Intel Core i9 – 10900 KF, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super and fast PCI-Express SSD and additional HDD extensively put to the test.

With the Infinite X, MSI has been offering a genuine desktop-class gaming PC for several generations, which is mainly based on the discerning but less tinkering high-end gamers. With it, MSI has a complete computer in its range, which is equipped with well-known high-end hardware and which actually only needs to be set up and wired. The Taiwanese of course rely on Intel’s Comet Lake processors, with MSI at least on the Core i7 – 10700 KF with eight CPU cores sets. In the top model, however, there is a ten-core Intel Core i9 – 10900 KF.

The integrated Intel graphics are deliberately omitted, as a fast, dedicated graphics solution from the GeForce RTX family works inside. The MSI MEG Infinite X 10 th relies at least on a GeForce RTX 2070 Super or GeForce RTX 2070 Super and is even already with the new RTX – 30 – Configurable cards. MSI does not fall back on the boring Founders Edition, but on the in-house custom models, such as the Ventus XS family with axial fans and slight overclocking. There are up to 64 GB DDR4 main memory, which is theoretically up to 64 GB can be drilled out, and a combination of fast PCI-Express SSDs and high-capacity magnetic storage hard disk. Depending on the model variant, there are two 1 TB SSDs in a RAID 0 array and a 3 TB 2.5-inch hard drive with SATA connection. The hardware is sometimes even cooled by a water cooling system.

Modern connections such as USB Type-C should not be missing on this high-end computer, nor are fast killer network chips or even an integrated WLAN and Bluetooth module . The housing comes from our own development and relies on a futuristic, angular look with black and red color accents – an RGB lighting system and a handle for the next LAN party should of course not be missing, after all, ESL is a partner. A clean Windows – 10 – Installation and the in-house Dragon Center for extensive configuration round off the overall package.

Depending on the equipment, you pay for the MSI MEG Infinite X 10 th between about 2 . 000 to around 3. 800 Euro.

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

Acer Chromebook Spin 513: First German launch with Snapdragon 7c

Acer has presented the Chromebook Spin 513 – the first device in Germany with Qualcomms ARM mobile processor Snapdragon 7c. The chip manufacturer had announced it already at the end 1920, but so far only education notebooks for developing countries have reached the market.

Acer brings notebooks with 16:10 / 3: 2 touchscreens, LTE modems or Porsche Design

At the end of the year, Acer plans to release some notebooks that apart from Intel processors of the eleventh Core-i generation each have their own special features: The Convertible Spin 3 (2020) has a screen in 16 : 10 – format, the Spin 5 (2020) with 3: 2 touchscreen weighs only 1.2 kilograms. The TravelMate (Spin) P4 goes online with an integrated LTE modem, the Book RS was designed by Porsche Design.

Spin 3 & 5 For the 2020 generation of the 2-in-1 device Spin 3, Acer opted for a pen-operated 13, 3-inch touchscreen in the 16: 10 – Format (2560 × 1600 pixels), which means that more image height is available for office work and more page width is available in tablet mode. The pen supplied disappears into the housing and is also charged there. Two Thunderbolt 4 sockets are available for fast peripherals, the WLAN module transmits according to Wi-Fi 6. The Spin 3 (2020) is due in January 2021 and cost from 1000 Euro.

Acer Swift 3x: Notebook with Intel's first Xe graphics chip comes in November

Acer has introduced the Swift 3x to accompany the 1920 version of the Swift 3 . Both notebooks use Intel’s Core-i processors of the 11 . Generation alias Tiger Lake-U, the manufacturer also equips the Swift 3x with Intel’s DG1 graphics chip. It is similar to the integrated graphics unit of the processor, but comes with fast GDDR6 RAM. Brand name: Iris Xe Max.

The additional GPU is noticeable in a direct comparison on the case: According to Acer, the Swift 3x is almost 2 mm thicker than the previous generation and weighs in around 1.3 kg additional 170 grams. Since the GPU has its own energy budget including the associated cooling, the CPU cores should achieve a higher turbo speed under load.

The Iris Xe Max replaces Nvidia’s entry-level graphics chip GeForce MX 350, which Acer last year in the more expensive Swift-3 Models built. Nvidia announced the successor GeForce MX 350 in August 2020, but did not mention any specifications so far – Notebooks with MX 450 does not yet exist.

Acer Swift 3x (4 images) (Image: Acer) Thunderbolt 4 As usual with upper class notebooks with Tiger Lake processors, there is a Thunderbolt 4 connection in the form of a USB-C port on board. The remaining connections fall with two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A (10 Gbit / s), once HDMI and audio jack are manageable. The Swift 3x can wirelessly connect to Wi-Fi 6 networks (WLAN 802. 11 ax) connect and transmit via Bluetooth 5.0.

The 11 inch IPS display solves with 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD) and covers the NTSC color space to 72 percent. The battery should last for runtimes of up to 17, 5 hours .

Acer wants to bring the Swift 3x on the market at the end of November – so Intel would have to present the Iris Xe Max beforehand. The basic configuration with the four-core Core i5 – 1080 G7, Iris Xe Max, 8 GByte LPDDR4X-RAM and 512 GByte capital S

New HomePod firmware finally available

Apple published the first version of HomePod OS 14 on Tuesday evening. The Smart Speaker will not get its new operating system until later this year. The reason was probably the introduction of the HomePod mini, which had only happened last week. Communication via intercom The update includes the new intercom function. This allows internal communication between groups in the same house. It is also possible to address individual HomePod speakers in certain rooms or zones. Intercom is to come later on the iPhone and Apple Watch and thus be usable remotely.

Siri can now make suggestions for locations in maps, the HomePod can be used to initiate web searches on the iPhone and Siri will now stop alarms, timers, and media across multiple HomePod speakers. The podcast app can differentiate between several users in the household.

Alarms and HomePod mini setup Alarms and wake-up calls via HomePod can now also be favorite songs, playlists or a radio station from Apple Music. The setup of a HomePod mini can be supplied with all necessary data (Apple ID, Apple Music, Siri and WLAN) from a HomePod.

Some bug fixes are also in HomePod OS. So it happened that stereo pairs lost their connection with each other. Controlling multiple speakers through Siri was sometimes unreliable. Furthermore, Siri should work more efficiently overall. With HomePod OS 14, external music services such as Spotify will soon be accessible via Siri – however, users must explicitly name the service, a default setting does not seem to be possible

iOS 14.1 and iPadOS 14.1 available

Apple released the first major new version of iOS and iPadOS 14 on Tuesday evening. The updates to version 14. 1 bring a number of new functions and bug fixes. iOS 14. 1 should also be preinstalled on the new iPhones, of which the versions 12 and 12 Pro will officially appear on Friday.

The Golden Master of iOS 14. 1 is one week old; There had been no real beta test, as version 14. 2 can already be tested by developers.

Bugs in detail According to Apple’s package insert, iPhone 8 and newer 10 -Play and edit bit HDR videos in the “Photos” app, an iPhone is required for recording 12. Apple fixed a bug that could cause some widgets, folders and icons on the home screen to appear smaller. Also fixed: an issue that suddenly threw apps out of folders when moving widgets.

A bug that randomly assigned alias names in mail has been fixed. Other fixed bugs concern incoming calls (regional information was sometimes missing), the lock screen (emergency button was overlaid by text fields), the music app (album view and playlist sometimes did not allow adding new tracks), calculator (incorrect display of zeros), video streaming (temporary reduction of the resolution at the start), family configuration on the watch (app set up some users not) and files app (incorrect availability display for files from MDM cloud service providers).

Further fixes Apple has also changed the Apple Watch app, which sometimes did not display the correct watch version, as well as the WLAN support – here should Ve
