The gaming-focused smartphone manufacturer company iQOO surprised us with its new iQOO Z7i member on the Z series portfolio. Without any launch event or announcement, the smartphone has gone official in its home country. It's the first smartphone of iQOO that comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 processor. Although the smartphone falls under the mid-range category and comes with a decent set of features at an affordable price tag.

Zhiyun Fiveray M40 Fill Light Review

0

A while back, I had the opportunity to review the 100W Fiveray F100 Lightstick as well as compare it to the previous generation FR100C. However, as compact as Zhiyun’s lightsticks are, sometimes you need something a little more portable. That’s where a light like the pocket-sized Fiveray M40 comes in handy. Thanks to Zhiyun for sending this one out for review.

Features

One of the biggest benefits of the Fiveray M40 is its size. It measures in at 5.37 x 3 x 1.14 inches and weighs less than one pound. This makes the Fiveray M40 easy to slip in a pocket for on the go or toss in a bag without weighing you down.

The next best thing about the Fiveray M40 is its output. The brightness of this tiny light is kind of hard to comprehend. It’s beyond impressive how much light the M40 puts out for its size and it works great as a fill light and can even step in for a key light in a pinch. Especially, if you have multiple M40s on hand.

On top of being bright, the Zhiyun Fiveray M40 offers temperature controls ranging from 2700-6500k with a CRI of over 95 to provide a wide range of lighting options with accurate color. While we’re on the subject of color, there are no RGB options on the M40—but that’s fine—because it allowed Zhiyun to squeeze in more LEDs to provide increased brightness.

Another feature I love about the M40 is how Zhiyun included two screw-hole mounts for tripods along with a rotating arm. This makes it convenient to mount the Fiveray M40 vertical or horizontal while being able to rotate it to just the right angle.

Finally, we’ve come to battery life which can be monitored with the four LEDs on the back. The Fiveray M40 can run at 40W for up to half an hour or a little over 90 minutes when set to 10W. It is powered by two built-in 18650 rechargeable batteries and uses a USB Type-C port for charging.

The good news is it can be fully charged in as little as 30 minutes when using a 50W capable charger. The M40 also works while charging, so if you’re near an outlet or have a power bank with enough output, you can run the M40 for longer periods.

Performance

The Zhiyun Fiveray M40 is tiny and extremely bright. However, it’s not the softest light source due to its compact size. It looks best when feathered off to the side or when bounced off of a ceiling or wall. It’s a good thing the M40 is so powerful because you’ll lose some light by modifying it, but that’s true of any light source. Despite the harsh direct light and short battery life, the real advantage of the M40 is its portability, versatile mounting options, and being able to charge it while it’s in use.

Additionally, Zhiyun also made the Fiveray M40 easy to use with simple controls, making it simple to set the temperature of the light and the intensity with a roll of the dial.

For video shooters, you’ll want to watch out for fan noise while using the M40. The brighter it is and the longer you use it, the louder it gets. It becomes even worse if it’s also charging while in use. This isn’t a problem if you’re shooting pictures, but if you intend to use it for live streaming it could get picked up on your mic. Although, in my experience, the fan noise is quite low.

I’ve taken the test images in this review using my smartphone just as in my past Zhiyun reviews to show how using a quality light like the Fiveray M40 can really make all the difference no matter what camera you’re using.

Final thoughts

Zhiyun has outdone itself with the Fiveray M40. It has combined super bright LEDs into a sturdy compact housing with color temperature options and great controls. It’s easy to mount, easy to use, and can be charged while in use. All of these add up to a fantastic light to use for photography and videography. The only caveats is the minimal fan noise and relatively short battery life. Besides that, the Zhiyun Fiveray M40 makes an excellent addition to your kit, and at only $99 it makes it tempting to pick up more than one.

Carlinkit 4.0 CP2A review

Our smartphones have taken over most aspects of our media interactions and the car infotainment system is no different. With the arrival of Android Auto and CarPlay, our phones are more involved in how we commute than ever. So, too, are dongles that allow us to create a wireless reality of this dream like the Carlinkit 4.0 adapter.

Android and iOS support

The biggest draw to the Carlinkit 4.0 is that the unit supports both major mobile operating systems. Android Auto and CarPlay are both onboard this adapter. This really is the dream for split households, or nerds like myself, who share devices across both platforms.

The setup is pretty painless as well. You are presented with a boot menu on first plugging the Carlinkit into your car. The interface gives the Bluetooth pairing name for the 4.0 and you connect via the phone’s UI Settings. After a few seconds, the infotainment interface will present the appropriate car system for Android or iOS.

This portion of the user experience has been pretty consistent. Each boot takes around 20 seconds to scan which device is connected and land on the phone-powered home screen. Performance has been no different than other options for wireless car adapters we’ve used. There’s a slight drop in latency versus a wired connection, but for the most part, users won’t notice much difference when using the Carlinkit.

The One Problem

The one issue I did have was that my Mazda head unit struggled to communicate the correct aspect ratio while using Android Auto. This is a known issue with the Carlinkit 4.0 adapter and their engineers are actively searching for a fix. What happens is that my infotainment screen is technically a 10.25-inch screen but it’s extremely short and long. This seems to confuse the Android Auto implementation of the dongle.

This is not an issue at all while using iOS in my car. The Carlinkit 4.0 also works perfectly in my wife’s Jeep Wrangler using both platforms. The more common, square aspect ratio easily fills the whole screen correctly. I think you just need to be aware of the one Android hiccup if you have a similarly shaped head unit as the Mazda systems.

Online Updates

Much like the previous Carlinkit A2A adapter we reviewed, there’s a dedicated website portal to provide some settings and OTA updates. Personally, I’d still like this to be an app-based option like the Carsifi alternative.

The web implementation is clunky and requires you to force your phone into a WiFi connection first and then kill that connection to push download the update over LTE, then back to the WiFi connection for the update. Having this in an app that doesn’t require all that back and forth would be much more intuitive.

Conclusion

I enjoy the flexibility of wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s a small convenience over a wired connection that I think is worth it, especially if you also have Qi charging in your vehicle. The Carlinkit 4.0 is another great option for consumers to add this functionality without breaking the bank.

The Carlinkit 4.0 is normally $99, but currently, the unit is on sale for just $73 on Amazon. You can snag this great wireless CarPlay and Android Auto device using the links below.

Twinkly Squares Review

If you’re wanting to upgrade your gaming space with some unique lighting, then Twinkly Squares could be exactly what you’ve been searching for. These unique lights are made up of individual squares or pixels, and allow you to customize your space with a retro gaming vibe. Thankfully, our friends over at Twinkly sent us a set for review.

Setup

The Twinkly Squares starter kit has a total of six light panels, including one master tile and five extension tiles. The master tile contains the power plug and you’ll need to connect the extension tiles to it using the included cables and brackets. It’s also worth noting that each master tile can support up to 15 extension tiles allowing you to expand upon the starter kit with additional panels.

Along with the cables, there are a series of clips that are used to lock the tiles together. This was a straightforward process that didn’t require connecting the tiles in any specific order, unlike some other lighting products I’ve used in the past.

Not only was connecting the panels easy, but it was also completely reversible. At any time, the clips and cables can be removed and used to rearrange the panels in any way that you choose. I went with a simple rectangle layout, but Twinkly Squares can be arranged in a straight line, off-center, or any other arrangement as long as the cables and clips can make contact.

Once everything is locked into place, the Twinkly app will use the camera on your smartphone to scan a pattern of lights on the panels to learn the position. Compared to setting up other light panels I’ve used in the past, Twinkly Squares has been one of the easiest. It didn’t require any tedious activities such as sorting the panels by number or following along in the app step by step to connect everything in a specific order.

It’s not often a lighting product offers such flexibility in how it can be connected while also allowing you to change your mind and rearrange the panels so effortlessly. That’s a big benefit of choosing the Twinkly Squares and I really appreciate it.

Installation

While connecting the Twinkly Squares panels was painless, hanging it on your wall has some pros and cons. Most light panels on the market use adhesive patches to stick to the wall, but there are none included with the Twinkly Squares starter kit.

Instead, the Twinkly Squares tiles feature cutouts on the back to be hung on nails, along with a guide in the box to help with the installation. That means making holes in your walls and seems a lot more damaging than just sticking it with some removable adhesive.

However, in my experience, that adhesive does not come off cleanly and ends up stripping the paint from your walls. It’s also not reusable and you’ll have to buy more of the patches if you want to move the lights to another location. At least with nails, you can easily fill holes in the wall and move the panels without purchasing more adhesive.

Personally, I loved that Twinkly Squares was thick enough to stand on its own and I could sit it on a table. It gives me the freedom to move them anytime I want and leaves my walls looking pristine.

Features

Twinkly Squares has a unique pixelated layout with each panel split into 64 LED lights capable of displaying over 16 million different colors. The Twinkly app puts you in charge of all of the tiles with a series of presets and customization options.

The selection of presets are split into a series of categories and not every preset will work perfectly depending on your chosen layout or the number of tiles you’re using. Mostly, these are the effects in the “Art” category or ones that include movement.

The app usually offers a chance to customize an effect before applying it, however, those options often differ depending on the preset. If you want to toy around with customization, then the effects in the “Ambience” category are your best option.

What truly makes Twinkly Squares stand out from its competitors is the ability to display images or gifs in a pixelated view. That’s the feature I was most excited to try out and I began to search and download gifs immediately after setting up the Twinkly Squares starter kit.

Unfortunately, not every gif or image will work, even if it’s already pixelated. I found myself going through several images and moving gifs before I found ones that fit the layout properly and also had enough detail once displayed on the Twinkly Squares. Most ended up being too blocky to identify, but I was able to find a couple that worked perfectly, and when you find one that fits just right then it looks stunning.

Just be aware that not every image or moving gif will work properly and you’ll need to do some hunting to find the ones that will.

Twinkly Squares also integrates with Google Home, making it convenient to power them on or off with voice commands or change the overall color.

Final thoughts

There is a myriad of smart lighting products on the market, but Twinkly Squares is one of the most unique I’ve ever seen. I find the app leaves a little to be desired though. It could use a better layout and more presets to choose from. Regardless, you’ll still be satisfied with all of the customization options available and Twinkly Squares distinctive pixelated theme. That’s if you don’t mind paying $250 for them because Twinkly Squares does not come cheap.
