EcoFlow Launches Four New Portable Power Series at IFA 2024

EcoFlow has rolled out four new products at IFA 2024, with the star of the show being the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 Solar Home Battery System. Along for the ride are the RIVER 3 Series, RAPID, and DELTA 3 Series. The new lineup is designed to keep you powered up whether you’re off the grid or simply need a backup plan when your latest DIY project requires more wattage than expected.

The X-Core 3.0 System & 5-Star Charging Certification

These new portable power stations pack EcoFlow’s latest X-Core 3.0 system, which means better safety, faster charging, and lower noise levels. They’ve even racked up over 1,000 patents, so it’s safe to say EcoFlow is pretty serious about keeping your gadgets alive and kicking.

DELTA 3 Plus

The DELTA 3 Plus comes with bragging rights as the world’s first portable power station to receive a 5-Star Certification for Fast and Safe Charging from SGS. It’s a feat that allows the station to recharge 1kWh in just 56 minutes—plenty of time to grab a coffee, chat with friends, or take a quick power nap (see what we did there?).

DELTA Pro 3: Energy Independence for the DIY Enthusiast

The DELTA Pro 3 Solar Home Battery System is made for those who want to set up solar power without needing to phone a friend (or an electrician). With its DIY-friendly setup, the system comes with solar panels, the DELTA Pro 3 Portable Power Station, and EcoFlow’s PowerStream Microinverter. It’s as simple as plugging everything in, and boom—you’re ready to roll with solar power.

DELTA Pro 3

The DELTA Pro 3 isn’t just for the housebound, though. It’s a versatile beast that can power your home office, workshop, or even your vanlife adventures. Whether you’re crafting in the garage or hiking with a view, this power station has your back.

24-Hour Power Supply Without Breaking a Sweat

The DELTA Pro 3 takes energy independence to another level. EcoFlow’s DualCharge and DualPower Technology make sure you get up to 16kWh of solar energy a day. That’s enough to keep your appliances, from refrigerators to heavy-duty gear like air conditioners, humming along happily. With a base capacity of 4kWh, it’s expandable up to 12kWh, meaning it’s ready to power everything, even if the sun decides to take a day off.

Want to know what’s sucking up the most power in your home? EcoFlow’s smart plugs and app can help you track energy use and optimize your solar output. Plus, with compatibility with Shelly 3EM and Tibber Pulse, you can take energy management to pro-level status.

RIVER 3 Series: Big Power in a Small Package

RIVER 3

The RIVER 3 Series is designed for outdoor lovers who don’t want to sacrifice their gadgets in the wild. The lineup includes four models, from the RIVER 3 to the RIVER 3 Max Plus, with power capacities ranging from 245Wh to 858Wh. These units are 33% smaller than the industry standard, yet still offer serious juice. EcoFlow’s X-GaNPower technology gives you double the runtime for smaller appliances, so your weekend camping trip won’t be cut short by a dead battery.

RAPID Magnetic Power Bank: Charging on the Go Without the Hassle

RAPID

EcoFlow’s RAPID Magnetic Power Bank is here to make your on-the-go charging experience smoother than ever. Available in two sizes—5000mAh and 10000mAh—this power bank is Qi2-certified for wireless charging that’s twice as fast as the previous generation. It can juice up an iPhone 15 from 0 to 50% in just 44 minutes. For those in a real hurry, the built-in fast-charging USB-C cable charges an iPhone 15 Pro Max from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes.

If you’re the type to juggle multiple devices, RAPID has you covered. It supports charging protocols for everything from MacBooks to fitness bands, so you can charge it all with one nifty gadget.

DELTA 3 Series: The Fastest Charging Around

The DELTA 3 Series isn’t here to mess around. With industry-leading charging speeds, the DELTA 3 Plus charges its 1,024Wh capacity in just 56 minutes. It’s got five ways to recharge, whether it’s through AC, solar, a generator, car charge, or even multi-charging (AC + Solar). Add in an 1,800W output, and you’ve got a flexible power solution for practically any scenario.

Availability

Starting September 6, 2024, the DELTA Pro 3 will be available in the EU for €3,299. The RIVER 3 Series, RAPID Series, and DELTA 3 Series are set to launch in the EU in Q4 2024, with pricing to be announced closer to their release.

Narwal Freo Z Ultra: The AI-Powered Cleaner That Outsmarts Messes and Pets Alike

Narwal, known for shaking up the home cleaning game, has brought its latest gadget to the spotlight at IFA 2024 in Berlin. The Freo Z Ultra robot vacuum and mop is here to handle the messes that life throws your way, without asking for much in return—except for maybe a corner to charge in.

Packed with AI-driven features, the Freo Z Ultra ($1,499) knows how to navigate your home better than a cat avoiding bath time. Equipped with dual AI chips and 1200p RGB cameras, it effortlessly dodges everything from wayward toys to that ever-elusive sock hiding under the couch. With the precision to clean within a centimeter of objects, you can officially stop rearranging your furniture for this little helper. Privacy-conscious users will be happy to hear that all video data stays stored on the device, making it smart and secure.

But this robot isn’t just about avoiding obstacles—it’s got brains too. Its Proactive AI DirtSense 2.0 detects whether a spill needs vacuuming or mopping and adjusts accordingly. DirtSense 2.0 even focuses more on dirtier spots, so that suspicious ketchup splatter in the kitchen won’t be just a distant memory.

For pet owners, the Freo Z Ultra has you covered. With its Pet-Friendly Mode, it works around your pets’ naps, cleaning other areas first before returning to tackle the fur-filled zones. All this while keeping the noise down to 55-58dB—so no angry pets or roommates to deal with. The self-emptying dustbin only needs attention every 120 days, making it just about as low-maintenance as it gets.

Key Features of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra:

  • TwinAI Dodge Obstacle Avoidance: Dual AI chips and cameras that navigate your home with the grace of a cat slipping past an open door.
  • Proactive AI DirtSense™ 2.0: Knows when to vacuum and when to mop, targeting dirt like it’s got a personal vendetta against it.
  • AI-Adaptive Hot Water Mop: Adjusts temperature to deal with everything from everyday dirt to the kind of grime that has no business being there in the first place.
  • Pet-Friendly Mode: Works around your pets like a considerate roommate—no need to disturb Fido’s afternoon nap.
  • Ultra-Quiet Operation: At 55-58dB, it hums along quietly, giving your home a clean without the vacuum cleaner symphony.
  • Self-Emptying Station: Forget about emptying the dustbin for almost four months, giving you time to focus on more pressing matters—like finding that missing sock.

For those eager to get their hands on one, the Freo Z Ultra is available for presale in North America through Narwal’s website. The wait for smart, hassle-free cleaning just got a little shorter.

Level Up Your Wallet Game with ESR Gear’s Latest

Level Up Your Wallet Game with ESR Gear’s Latest

ESR has established itself as one of the industry leaders in Apple accessories, consistently providing innovative and high-quality products. The company’s extensive lineup features a wide range of accessories, including chargers, base stations, and keyboard cases, meticulously designed to complement and enhance the user experience for the full range of Apple devices.

Recently, our team had the opportunity to thoroughly test and evaluate three exciting new options within the ESR Gear wallet lineup. These cutting-edge offerings boast seamless integration with MagSafe technology, further elevating the user’s interaction with their iPhone, while also harnessing the power of Apple’s advanced Find My Device network for added convenience and security.

Simply put, we like them quite a bit and think you would, too. Read on to learn more about what ESR has on offer for consumers in need of a new wallet.

Level Up is where we explore the gear that actually makes a difference, whether that’s in how you live, work, or unwind. Each edition brings together standout products, whether tied by brand or by theme, that turn the everyday into something a little more exceptional.

ESR Gear HaloLock Wallet Stand

Let’s start with the two wallet offerings with the most shared DNA. HaloLock is ESR’s in-house name for MagSafe, and that’s present here on both the Geo Wallet Stand and the regular Wallet Stand.

The standard HaloLock Wallet Stand is no slouch, even with the omission ESR added into the Geo variant. The Wallet Stand has HaloLock magnets to take advantage of the MagSafe protocol, can hold your personal ID, and up to two other payment cards.

I have found the HaloLock Wallet Stand to be the perfect going out to drinks wallet. Sometimes a nicer dinner requires dress pants or slacks, and I prefer to minimize my pocket accessories as much as possible. Having the combo of my phone and only my essential cards in a single setup is fantastic.

I have my ID for adult beverages and my two go-to payment options, and they simply snap onto my phone. I’m never to leave home without anyway. Speaking of, the magnetic connection of the HaloLock Wallet Stand is very strong, and I never once felt like the wallet was in jeopardy of falling off my iPhone.

Lastly, as the name implies, there’s the additional thoughtfulness that the hinge mechanism is also strong enough for the HaloLock Wallet Stand to prop up your phone. This can be done in both landscape and portrait orientations and has come in hand to take FaceTime calls, or my favorite YouTube clips, while on the go.

Purchasing links for the ESR Gear HaloLock Geo Wallet Stand can be found from ESR directly or Amazon below. Full retail is $30 and it’s available in six colors: black, caramel, dark blue, gray, sky blue, and carbon fiber.

ESR Gear HaloLock Geo Wallet Stand

If you love everything about the HaloLock Wallet Stand but want some added piece of mind while traveling, then the Geo Wallet Stand variant is just what you are looking for. With a slight redesign of the front pocket and the addition of Apple Find My Device functionality, the Geo Wallet Stand knocks this out of the park.

You get the same amount of card storage, but you lose the dedicated ID slot. Your license for the next time you’re buying Daddy sodas will just need to take up a generic slot in the single cardholder on the front of the Geo Wallet Stand. This location has a nice, leather slide mechanism to “eject” the cards for easy access and sorting. The slide can be used as a holding loop as well.

Why only the one card slot for all three cards? That precious real estate was needed for the Find My Device hardware and internal battery. I love having the tracking ability built into a wallet. While I’ve never personally lost mine, it’s always been the dreaded scenario in my nightmares.

Adding the HaloLock Geo Wallet Stand to your Apple app is just like any accessory. If you’ve set up the AirTag, then this is a breeze. You double click the sync area on the inside of the wallet and you are pretty much good to go. You can give is a custom name and icon, after which, it shows in your Items tab the Find My application.

Battery life isn’t an issue either. The Geo Wallet Stand is rated for three months on a single charge and takes a little over an hour to fully fill the battery. The Find My Device app will also notify you when your battery is in need of refueling as well.

You can purchase the ESR Gear HaloLock Geo Wallet Stand from ESR directly or Amazon below. Full retail is $40 and it’s available in five colors: black, caramel, dark blue, grey, and carbon fiber.

ESR Gear Geo Wallet

Lastly, we have the latest entry to the ESR Gear wallet lineup. The newly launched Kickstarter for the ESR Geo Wallet is now live with estimated shipping to backers in September 2024. We’ve gotten an early look, and the world’s first bi-fold wallet with Find My Device support won’t disappoint.

Just like the ESR Geo Wallet Stand, the bi-fold version can easily be set up with Apple’s application, and the thought of losing your wallet forever is gone. Inside the Geo Wallet, you have a dedicated ID slot, five card slots, a divided cash pocket, and a neat small coin pocket.

Under the ID sleeve are the charging pins and battery pack for the Find My unit. The battery is rated to last up to five months and recharges in under two hours. Having this built into a traditional folding wallet fills a void you just haven’t seen in this market yet. Most are minimal options designed to also use MagSafe, like the HaloLock Geo Wallet Stand. Having an option that my Dad would still use is a huge win for ESR.

Hit the link below to become a backer and secure your ESR Geo Wallet. Pricing starts at around $50 and if you act now, the current entry level backing gets you the Geo Wallet Stand as a free add-on.

Circular’s Smart Ring Gets Limited Edition Silver

Circular is adding some style to your smart tech wardrobe with the introduction of the limited edition Silver Ring, finally answering the call for a sleek, metallic option. This new design gives a fresh spin on the wearable that tracks not just your fitness, but keeps an eye on your overall health and wellness. It’s like having a personal health coach, but one that’s far more fashionable and less likely to scold you for skipping leg day.

What makes Circular stand out is their unique use of haptic navigation in their smart rings—no other brand’s rings give you that little buzz to let you know you’re on track. The latest Circular Ring Slim is packed with technology, designed to keep you in the loop on everything from your sports performance to your health. This ring tracks seven key biometrics and 142 different markers, around the clock. It’s like the overachiever of wearable tech, but you won’t mind.

During the day, the Circular Ring Slim quietly monitors your activity levels, heart rate, blood oxygen, calories burned, and even your chronotype—fancy talk for your body’s natural rhythm, which helps with sleep and wake cycles.

At night, the ring steps it up a notch by tracking sleep quality, heart rate variability, REM cycles, and sleep disturbances. It even checks temperature changes, which can clue you in on immune health and help detect early signs of illness. So, it’s like your personal health detective, but much less dramatic.

The ring pairs up with the Kira+ app, where users can access insights through ‘Circles’—mini hubs that break down your metrics in easy-to-digest ways. Some of the highlights:

  • Sleep Analysis Circle: Helping you understand why you’re always tired.
  • Energy Circle: Tells you how much fuel you’ve got in the tank throughout the day.
  • Activity Circle: Tracks steps, VO2 max, activity intensity, and calories burned—because sometimes, it’s nice to know your couch has competition.
  • Coherence Circle: A new feature designed to help you chill out with breathing exercises that bring mind and body into sync.

The Circular Ring Slim Silver Edition will be available just in time for the holidays on the Circular webstore.

SwitchBot at IFA 2024: Smart Home Meets Subtle Charm

SwitchBot is at IFA this week, showcasing a number of exciting new products, including their star attraction: the SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro Combo. Additionally, SwitchBot will also present its new Air Purifier, Air Purifier Table, and Roller Shade, all of which are ready for pre-order and slated for launch later this year.

The SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo is marketed as your ultimate cleaning sidekick. This nifty system boasts a 3-in-1 design that cleverly combines the world’s tiniest robot vacuum with a lightweight cordless vacuum. Together, they operate using a dual auto-emptying base station called FusionBase, which sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie but is just brilliant for keeping floors spotless.

K10+ Pro Combo

Equipped with TwinFlow Suction Technology, the K10+ Pro Combo does its job without making a fuss. It’s built to tackle everything from pesky corner dust bunnies to that snack left behind in the car. With its 3-liter dust bag, you can forget about emptying it for a whopping 70 days. It fits conveniently in a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 paper, so it won’t crowd your space.

In addition to its practical functionality, the product connects seamlessly with the SwitchBot app and plays nice with major smart home systems like Matter, thanks to SwitchBot’s matter-compatible hubs. Pet owners will appreciate the dual anti-tangle design, ensuring that Fido and Whiskers can roam freely without fear of becoming the K10+ Pro’s next victim. And for those who enjoy cleaning under the moonlight, the quiet modes won’t wake anyone during nighttime cleaning.

Air Purifier Table
Air Purifier

Next up in the lineup are the Air Purifier and Air Purifier Table, both smart tools for transforming one’s air into something fresher than a spring morning. The Air Purifier is armed with an advanced triple-filtration system that zaps away up to 99.97% of airborne irritants. With a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 236 CFM (400 m³/h), it’s perfect for large spaces. Like the K10+, it also works via the SwitchBot app and can be controlled with voice commands, making it a breeze to breathe easy.

For those who enjoy multifunctional furniture, the Air Purifier Table is a must-see. Not only will it purify the air, but it also doubles as a stylish table equipped with a wireless charging pad, ready to juice up both Android and iPhone devices while casting some ambient light. Talk about a table that does it all!

Roller Shade

Rounding out this impressive collection is the SwitchBot Roller Shade, which claims the title of the world’s first adjustable smart roller shade. This innovative product can adapt its width from 22.8″ to 72.8″, ensuring it fits a variety of window sizes just right. Plus, the fabric can be swapped out, featuring options like 100% blackout for when one needs their beauty sleep or UV protection for daytime lounging without baking.

Controlled conveniently via the SwitchBot app, voice commands, or even a remote, the Roller Shade integrates effortlessly into existing smart home setups, with customization and automation options to streamline daily routines.

Wallet Finder Card
Evaporative Humidifier
Meter Pro

But the excitement doesn’t end there! In the lead-up to IFA, SwitchBot has introduced three additional products that highlight practicality and convenience. The Wallet Finder Card is an ultra-slim tracker that fits nicely in any wallet and works with Apple’s Find My network, helping locate that runaway wallet. The Evaporative Humidifier, which refills itself—yes, you read that right—uses cold evaporation technology for a healthier environment. Lastly, the Meter Pro & Meter Pro (CO2 Monitor) provide real-time insights into temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, ensuring your indoor air quality is always up to snuff.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 debuts with an Intel Core Ultra processor and Android AI features

Samsung has introduced its first Copilot+-enabled Windows 11 PC in the latest Galaxy Book 5 series: the Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360. Samsung’s new Windows 11 laptop also supports Android AI features like Circle to Search with Google, chat assist, live translate, and transcript assist, which converts recorded meetings to written notes and summaries. 

Powered by Intel’s latest ultra-efficient Intel Core Ultra Processors 7/5 (Series 2), featuring four times the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) power of its predecessor. The Galaxy Book 5 Pro uses an Intel ARC GPU graphics chip, delivering 17% improved performance. The chipset effortlessly handles multitasking and gaming-sided things. Samsung packs dozens of AI features in the Book 5 Pro 360 laptop to enhance the laptop’s overall performance and productivity. 

The laptop features a 16-inch WQXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED touch display with 3K resolution, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 500 nits peak brightness. It offers up to 25 hours of video playback on a single charge. The device has super-fast charging support, providing an extra boost for added productivity. 

Moreover, the Book 5 Pro 360 uses Microsoft Phone Link, which enables seamless connection with select mobile devices and brings Galaxy AI’s intelligent features on a larger display. It supports Galaxy’s signature S-pen stylus, which lets you sketch, write, and fine-tune details with responsive multi-touch gestures. Samsung squeezed quad speakers with Dolby Atmos in the Book 5 Pro 360, delivering richer and deeper bass sounds. 

The Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro 360 will be available in select markets including Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the US starting in September, but there’s no word on pricing.

HMD Fusion Brings Style, Smarts, and a Closet Full of Outfits for $299

HMD (Human Mobile Devices) has just pulled the curtain back on its latest smartphone, the HMD Fusion, which is set to make quite the splash in the US in Q4 2024. Priced at $299, it’s like getting a designer phone and a toolkit for creativity all in one package.

At the heart of HMD Fusion is the “Smart Outfits” concept, which lets users change their phone’s look and function with a few swappable attachments. Imagine your phone pulling double duty as a selfie expert with a built-in ring light or transforming into a gaming console for those downtime moments. Smart Outfits, coming later this year, snap on via six specialized pins, instantly unlocking new features. It’s kind of like your phone’s own wardrobe—fashionable and functional, without the drama of mismatched socks.

HMD Fusion’s hardware is no slouch either. It’s got a powerful 108MP rear camera and a 50MP selfie cam, so whether you’re snapping food pics or catching your best angle, you’ll look like a pro. The selfie camera’s special moves, like Selfie Gestures and Selfie Slow-Mo, should keep the social feed looking fresh.

Fusion Wireless Charging Outfit
Fusion Rugged Outfit

Not exactly graceful with your gadgets? The Rugged Outfit has you covered with protection against dust and water (IP68 rating), wireless charging, and even an emergency button—perfect for anyone prone to butterfingers or adventure. Meanwhile, the phone’s casing itself blends a tough stainless steel frame with an industrial aesthetic, giving it a minimalist, stylish edge. It’s like wearing a sleek leather jacket that just so happens to have reinforced armor underneath.

The device comes with repair-friendly features too. Got a cracked screen or tired battery? HMD Fusion is designed to be user-repairable, so you can pop it open and fix things with an iFixit kit. No need to panic over that coffee spill (though, maybe stop balancing your phone on the edge of the counter).

HMD Fusion isn’t just about giving users fun, customizable hardware—it’s also built for developers who want to take the phone’s potential to the next level. The open-source software and hardware developer kit offers creators the tools they need to design their own custom “Smart Outfits” or accessories for the device. Whether it’s building something to boost productivity, enhance creative projects, or level up the gaming experience, developers have the flexibility to integrate new features directly into the phone’s ecosystem.

The kit makes it straightforward to add unique functionalities or even tweak the phone’s interface to match whatever hardware is attached. With six smart pins available for connecting outfits, developers can get creative with anything from sensors and lighting to interactive elements. HMD is essentially inviting developers to treat Fusion like a blank canvas, limited only by imagination (and perhaps a good screwdriver).

Launching with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, HMD Fusion offers a solid deal for the price. Smart Outfits like the Flashy, Rugged, Wireless, and Gaming models will roll out later this year to add even more customization. Keep an eye out—your phone might just become your favorite accessory.

EarFun Strikes a Chord at IFA 2024 with a Trio of Budget-Friendly Audio Innovations

EarFun recently made waves at IFA 2024 in Berlin by introducing three innovative products: the UBOOM X Portable Bluetooth Speaker, the OpenJump Open-Ear Wireless Earbuds, and the Tune Pro Over-Ear ANC Hi-Res Wireless Headphones.

The UBOOM X Portable Bluetooth Speaker stands out as EarFun’s most powerful portable speaker to date. With an impressive 80 watts of power, it includes two 20mm tweeters and large 4-inch mid-woofers, ensuring a vibrant audio performance. The proprietary JumboBass technology enables deep bass without overpowering mid and treble frequencies.

UBOOM X

Constructed for durability, the speaker features IP67 certification for water and dust resistance, along with SweatShield technology. With a lightweight design, a carrying strap, and up to 30 hours of playback on a single USB-C charge, it’s designed for portability. Additional features include customizable multi-color LED lights and a Party Connect mode that allows synchronization with up to 50 compatible devices.

OpenJump

EarFun’s OpenJump Open-Ear Wireless Earbuds adopt an open-ear design aimed at active users. These lightweight earbuds come with secure earhooks for stability during workouts and are powered by 14.2mm Wool Composite drivers, providing a rich audio experience. Hi-Res Audio certification and integrated 3D Surround Sound enhance both music and gaming. The earbuds support Google Fast Pair for quick connections and feature AI-enhanced call quality with four built-in microphones.

Tune Pro

Completing EarFun’s new lineup, the Tune Pro Over-Ear Headphones combine advanced noise-canceling technology with Hi-Res Audio capabilities. Utilizing Bluetooth 5.4, these headphones promise a stable connection with reduced latency. Their hybrid ANC system can mitigate ambient noise by up to 40dB, making them suitable for on-the-go users.

Equipped with 40mm diaphragms and 10mm drivers, they provide an impressive audio performance. The lightweight design ensures long-lasting comfort and the headphones support multipoint connections, enhancing usability across devices. A dedicated Game Mode, accessible via the EarFun Audio App, lowers latency for an improved audiovisual experience.

With up to 120 hours of playback on a single charge and an AUX port for wired connections, they are built for endurance.

All three products are expected to launch later in the year, with the UBOOM X anticipated to be available on Myearfun.com and Amazon in early October. The OpenJump and Tune Pro headphones are scheduled for a release in Q4 2024.
