It comes in Electric Black and Mystic Green color options. Pre-orders are started in India and open sales commence on August 12. For those who don’t know, Samsung’s F series smartphones are only limited to Indian markets and it’s obvious the upcoming F34 smartphone will be limited to India.

The Galaxy F34 features a 6.46-inch FHD+ 120Hz Super AMOLED panel and a 50MP No shake primary sensor. The main camera unit is joined by 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro lens. There’s a 13MP selfie camera on the front.

It is powered by Samsung’s in-house Exynos 1280 processor paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. The device runs on Android 13 based on One UI 5.1 out of the box. Samsung promises four major OS upgrades and five years of security updates for the Galaxy F34 5G smartphone.

The smartphone houses a massive 6,000mAh battery capacity which Samsung claimed to last up to two days on a single charge and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. To fill that large juice tank, the device has support for 25W fast charging tech, but the charger doesn’t come in the box.

1More PistonBuds Pro with ANC review

1More PistonBuds Pro with ANC review

The PistonBuds lineup has always been a heavy hitter for 1More. They usually offer the best bang for your buck from the brand and I was happy when 1More sent out a pair of its latest, the PistonBuds Pro for review. I’ve been using them for the past few weeks and I’m impressed at what these buds are capable of for less than $70.

Design

The PistonBuds Pro features a couple of lightweight earbuds housed in a compact case. Overall, the case feels a little cheap but rugged enough to stand up to date to day use. There’s a USB Type-C port for charging, but no support for wireless charging, which is not much of a surprise at this price point.

1More has included four sets of ear tips, and to my surprise, I was able to find a pair that works well with my smaller than average ears. This is usually a challenge for me with most earbuds, but thanks to the variety of ear tips provided and the size of the PistonBuds Pro, I was able to wear them comfortably for hours.

Features

For a budget pair of earbuds, the PistonBuds Pro pack in some premium features. The most prominent is active noise cancellation, along with a pass through mode. There’s also a wind noise resistance mode, low latency gaming mode, IPX5 water resistance, and a sensor that automatically pauses music when you remove an earbud.

Additionally, the PistonBuds Pro use touch-sensitive buttons to control music playback. 1More made the smart decision here to require a double-tap to activate the controls which prevents accidental activation. My only complaint with the touch-sensitive buttons is that they are limited in the actions they can perform, but at least the 1More app allows you to customize them.

The only other drawback is that the Bluetooth connection drops occasionally. It only takes a second to reconnect, but it’s still not ideal.

Audio quality

1More uses the AAC codec, which is common amongst budget earbuds and provides compatibility between Android and iOS. It transmits at a lower bit rate than Qualcomm’s aptX codec, but sounds good nevertheless and provides maximum compatibility.

The PistonBuds Pro sound great for a pair of budget earbuds. They lack some of the depth and texture of premium headphones that will cost you three times as much, but at this price, they sound pretty darn good. There’s plenty of bass with a warm sound signature that’s not piercing to listen to, and with the equalizer built into the app, you can adjust the PistonBuds Pro to sound just how you like. The soundstage and separation could be a little wider, but at this price point, it’s hard to complain.

ANC

QuietMax is 1More’s proprietary active noise cancellation technology capable of canceling up to 38dB in external noise. I found it did a great job of silencing everyday distractions such as the air conditioner and other appliances in my home, as well as noisy lawnmowers. The PistonBuds Pro do a great job of getting you isolated with your favorite music.

Microphone

With remote work still being quite popular, there’s no shortage of Zoom calls or Teams meetings. The PistonBuds Pro feature four mics with AI-powered technology to help suppress noise and amplify your voice.

I took several calls utilizing only one earbud in my ear and I received good feedback. Everyone said my voice sounded clear and loud.

Battery life

1More rates the PistonBuds Pro for 7.5 hours of consecutive playback with ANC disabled and 5 hours with ANC enabled. When paired with the charging case that provides an additional 22.5 hours with noise cancellation or 15 hours with ANC enabled. Compared to some earbuds I’ve reviewed recently, this was a pleasant change.

The PistonBuds Pro have fantastic battery life and I was thrilled to listen to my music for hours on end without any battery anxiety or needing to recharge them. There may be no wireless charging, but at least you can get one hour of playback with only a quick five-minute charge.

Final thoughts

The PistonBuds Pro live up to the lineage of PistonBuds earbuds from 1More. They sound great for the price, offer stellar battery life, include premium features such as ANC and a customizable EQ, and all for an affordable price.

The only real drawback was a couple of hiccups where their Bluetooth connection drops occasionally. Aside from that, the PistonBuds Pro are a great budget pair of Bluetooth earbuds for $70 or less and can be purchased from Amazon or 1More’s website.

Best Buy to offer Google Pixel repairs

There is a new deal that brings both Google and Best Buy together in order to do in-store repairs from Best Buy’s stable. This is good news for people who often have repair issues with their phones. No more stress when they look for Google Pixel repair outlets in the country. Now, they can get relief.

Best Buy at the present time does repairs select Samsung Galaxy devices, including the foldable devices. The company also does repair work for Apple’s iPhones. This means Google Pixel repairs will not be available in all locations at once.

Retailers larger stores in New York and Los Angeles may be a priority. Probably, some smaller stores may be included in the primary stages of Google Pixel repairs but the point is that most locations won’t start immediately. As to the availability of the repair work, it could start as soon as in September.

There are no specifics for cost at this time. However, it is good to know that at this time, Best Buy lists the cost of screen replacements of both Galaxy phones and iPhones at about $230. The company publishes its repair work price list publicly on its website.

Latest Omdia Report: smartphone shipments decline for eight consecutive quarter

Smartphone shipments continue to decline year in year out even for companies that are known to be biggest among smartphone manufacturers. Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, all share in having the decline. Research group Omdia takes a look at smartphone shipments every year, helping the world to know what progress has been made in the industry.

In its latest report, Omdia confirms that all major smartphone OEMs apart from Transsion Holdings and Huawei saw declines year on year. The trend continues in 2023. Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi saw shipments reduce up to 10 percent from quarter two in 2022 to second quarter in 2023.

Contributing factors

For the eight consecutive years, there were various contributing factors leading to smartphone shipment decline. However, recovery came for the COVID-19 period which fell between quarter four of 2020 and quarter three of 2021. Important supply issues and consumers demand remain the main culprits for this decline. We take a look at the three biggest smartphone manufacturers – Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi.

The company had the most shipments in the second quarter of 2023. However, that pales in comparison to the results published in the first quarter the same year. The company has a 14.3 percent year on year decline. That’s something that gives the firm a challenge. Due to ongoing economic recession, there’s a fall in demand for mid to low-end Samsung phones. It is also noted that Samsung Galaxy A series is getting less attraction from buyers.

Apple

The company has seen a a big quarter on quarter fall after a successful first quarter this year for the iPhone 14 series. 43.2 million shipments were recorded, and that’s 24.6 percent fall from the first quarter of this year to the second quarter of last year. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are doing well in the market but the standard and Plus models are not doing so well.

Xiaomi

According to the report, Xiaomi’s shipments are still falling too. From the second quarter of 2022, it has a 15.7 percent fall year on year. Last year, the second quarter saw 39.4 million Xiaomi phones shipped but it fell to 33.2 million this year.

The slump in smartphone sales will continue till the third quarter, as experts say. Probably, the industry can see a boost during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Moto RAZR+ review

Moto RAZR+ review

If you grew up in your formidable early 20s around the early 2000s, you hold a particular tech spot in your heart for the Motorola RAZR. The slim, trendy phone set the tone for what pre-smart phones could be. Moto, now owned by Lenovo, has leveraged this legacy with the emergence of its folding RAZR line of smartphones over the last few years.

Thanks to our buds at AT&T I’ve been testing the latest rendition, the Moto RAZR+, for a few weeks now and have been very impressed.

Design

I hate that Moto departed from the nods previous generations were making in the hardware design to the original flip phone. Still, I think it was necessary to pull off the innovation they’ve arrived at with the RAZR+. This “flip-style” foldable still hearkens back to the old flip phones from the original Motorola RAZR’s era.

The star of the RAZR+ is the 6.9-inch screen that can be folded in half. The full HD+ screen is a 2640×1080 resolution with 413ppi. The OLED screen looks great and has a crease in the middle to fold up. It’s also capable of a 165-hertz refresh rate making the entire experience very fluid.

The folding mechanism is improved this year with I think a smoother opening feel. It doesn’t creak or sway enough to make you nervous. It’s also sturdy in that it’s stiff enough to allow you to open the RAZR+ at pretty much any degree. And it folds completely flat when closed. No weird gap or wedge look.

But the biggest addition, by far, is the 3.6-inch outer display. The pOLED panel makes the RAZR+ immediately more compelling than any other flip foldable. We’ll cover that in the next segment, but it truly is the headline feature.

Other honorable mentions are that the phone is IPX5 water resistant for general rain but not submersion. There’s also a side-mounted fingerprint reader built into the power button. I’ve found it to be consistent in unlocking the phone. Below the power button are volume rockers that have good tactile feedback when pressed.

Software

Moto’s software is still a bright spot in the Android market. The near-stock approach is right at home for any of us used to Pixels with the few Moto tweaks adding functionality. This includes the twist to launch the camera, the flick of the wrist to launch the flashlight torch, and a few new ones like tapping to launch an app on the back of the phone.

Another great feature while using the primary display is Flex View. This allows you to split the screen in a propped-up view to take in or create content. YouTube and the Moto Camera apps are exceptional examples. YouTube with the top portion of the screen in Flex View will continue to show you the video feed while the comments and recommended content stay on the bottom half.

The same is true for the camera app. If you want to have the viewfinder open while you line up a selfie Flex Mode is great. The finder stays in the top half while the controls shift to the bottom. It’s a small comfort feature but it’s nice once you’ve used it and leverages the form factor well.

The new software, or old if you look at it differently, is once again the star of the Moto RAZR+. There are a nice collection of widgets that act like home screens such as a few clocks, some dedicated app shortcuts, and weather. The app shortcuts are customizable but you can’t add all your apps, only those that have obviously partnered with Moto are available to add to this view.

Despite this, your outer “app drawer” view allows you to add some of your favorite apps. This is great as much like with opening notification, all your available apps can be run on the outer display. While some respect the smaller aspect ratio better than others, I’ve been blown away by just how much I can get done with the phone closed.

First-party Google apps specifically can all be used with little issue. The keyboard isn’t great in tiny format, but I’ve been able to quickly reply with Gmail and Messages with short responses. You can scroll Twitter, or Threads if that’s your thing now, and it works surprisingly well.

Lastly, it’s not a Moto review without mentioning the lackluster software updates. While it’s nice to see OS updates bumped from two years to three, it still lags behind the competition. Security updates will see four full years of support as well.

Battery life

Moto has always tweaked out decent battery life in its smartphone line and the Moto RAZR+ is no different. I’d wager that most will get slightly better than a similar 3,800mAh battery in a traditional form factor due to the amount you simply don’t use the larger display. I’m able to get through a normal day with around 30-20% left at night.

Charging is easier enough with up to 30 Watts of wired charging and 5 Watts of wireless charging. While the wireless charging rate is nothing to write home about, it’s more than enough for charging overnight and throughout the day on a desk. It’d be great to see this be at least 15 Watts, but I’ll take this over the complete omission of wireless charging from the previous generations.

Cameras

The RAZR+ has a primary dual-camera array consisting of a 12MP standard and a 13MP ultrawide lens. On the front-facing side, you get a 32MP selfie shooter. Honestly, with the flexibility of the form factor, you should take selfies with it closed using the primary shooter.

Photos taken with the Moto RAZR+ have been a mixed back and still one of the weaknesses of Lenovo’s smartphone division. When in good light and motion, the RAZR+ can take some really good shots. The colors are balanced and the photos come out crisp.

However, when lighting or movement degrades, then so do the results. Low-light photos just aren’t up to par with the $1000 price tag of this phone. It’s a struggle of Motos that it just needs to get fixed. This has been a generational issue for its flagships that should simply be better at this point.

Final thoughts

The Moto RAZR+ has immediately raised the bar for flip-style foldables. The almost fully functional outer display makes it the clear leader of this market for the time being. Add in the flexibility of the software tweaks when interacting with the main display, and a clean build of Android, and Moto has a contender.

The Moto RAZR+ is $1000 fully unlocked, but our friends over at AT&T have a nice $10 per month plan that’s simply hard to say no to right now. Hit the link below to head over and snag this deal.

The A15 Series includes the A15 and A15C, categorized as mainstream smartphones, while the G5 Series comprises the G5, G5C, and G5A, with the G5 and G5C falling under the mid-range category and the G5A being an entry-level option.

Why Does It Matter

The UMIDIGI A15 and G5 Series offer a range of appealing features, such as eye-catching design, thin edges for a comfortable grip, and vibrant display options.

The camera setups across the series promise improved photography capabilities, including high-resolution primary lenses and excellent selfie cameras. The choice of different chipsets and RAM configurations ensures smooth performance tailored to different user needs.

Additionally, the large batteries and fast charging capabilities make them suitable for heavy users seeking extended battery life.

UMIDIGI A15 series: This series, comprising the A15 and A15C models, is aimed at mainstream smartphone users who prioritize impressive camera capabilities, a large display, and generous RAM and storage.

Hands-On: Dreo PolyFan 513S

Hands-On: Dreo PolyFan 513S

The Dreo PolyFan 513S is a smart pedestal fan designed to provide efficient and customizable airflow for users seeking relief from hot and stuffy environments. Equipped with smart features and a remote control, this fan aims to deliver a comfortable and convenient cooling experience.

It’s one of the latest products from Dreo to pass through our office and yet another one we’re happy to recommend. If you’re looking to beat the summer heat, the PolyFan 513S should be on your short list of considerations.

The Dreo PolyFan 513S generates a strong airflow with eight different speeds, and its adjustable height and tilt allow users to direct the breeze precisely where they need it. The fan’s smart functionality enables users to control various settings remotely, such as fan speed, oscillation, and timer, through the included remote control or a smartphone app. The integration of smart technology and smart home integeration (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant) lets users customize their cooling experience with ease.

via Dreo

The Dreo PolyFan 513S boasts a sleek and modern design that blends well with various home décor styles. Its sturdy pedestal base provides stability, ensuring the fan remains secure during operation.

The fan’s adjustable height, ranging from around 3-feet to 4-feet allows it to cater to different user preferences and room sizes. The control panel, situated on top of the fan, is user-friendly with clear, intuitive buttons. Additionally, the inclusion of a remote control makes it easy to adjust settings from a distance.

And while the built-in buttons and remote are helpful, the real fun comes with the mobile app. One setting that you’ll get there is a “natural” breeze setting which more or less randomizes speed and oscillation in all directions. It’s truly like a breeze kicking up in a room blowing in different speeds and areas of the room.

The fan’s powerful motor generates impressive airflow, offering effective cooling even in larger rooms. Users have the option to choose from up to eight fan speeds, ensuring they find their preferred level of comfort. The oscillation feature helps circulate air throughout the room, providing a consistent cooling experience.

As someone with a house full of Google Assistant products I like that Dreo adds support for the PolyFan 513S. Google Assistant integration allows users to control the fan using voice commands. This hands-free approach adds a new level of convenience for individuals with limited mobility or those who want to adjust the fan stopping their current task.

Users can integrate the fan into their existing smart home setup, creating automation routines and connecting it with other smart devices like smart thermostats or smart lighting.

Smart home integration enables users to control the fan even when they are not at home. Whether at work or on vacation, users can use their smartphones or other Google Assistant-enabled devices to turn the fan on or off, adjust the settings, or schedule cooling cycles, ensuring a comfortable environment upon their return.

Target user

The Dreo PolyFan 513S is an ideal choice for individuals and families seeking a reliable and technologically advanced cooling solution.

It caters to people who prioritize convenience and want the ability to control their fan’s settings remotely. With its powerful performance and customizable features, the fan is suitable for use in bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, or any area that requires efficient cooling during hot summer months.

We’ve moved the fan around my home a few times and tend to keep it at the foot of our bed. It’s the perfect height for our raised bed and the random natural breeze does its best to encourage naps.

Final Thoughts

Several aspects of the Dreo PolyFan 513S impressed us during our review. Firstly, its design and build quality were noteworthy, combining both aesthetics and stability. Even my son, who normally doesn’t may close attention to things like this remarked how cool and modern it looked.

The adjustable height and tilt, and oscillation options further enhanced its versatility. I particularly enjoyed that I can set the oscillation to various degrees of coverage and that it’s not just an On/Off setting.

The fan’s smart functionality was also a standout feature, as it provided a level of control and convenience that traditional fans lack. And as a fan, the powerful airflow and quiet operation made it a pleasure to use even during nighttime. It’s powerful to be sure, but it’s also quiet, even at its highest setting.

The Dreo PolyFan 513S is a solid addition to any home, providing powerful and customizable cooling with its smart features and remote control.

Its sleek design, coupled with adjustable height and tilt, ensures it fits seamlessly into various spaces. The fan’s performance is impressive, offering strong airflow and quiet operation, making it suitable for diverse user preferences.
