FlexiSpot Sit2Go 2-in-1 Fitness Chair review

Let’s face it, pretty much all of us could do at least a little bit better with staying active. Are you stretching as much as you should be? How often do you get up from that desk?

Thanks to the global pandemic a lot of people have been forced to work from home or take classes online. And while things do occasionally look better, we might as well admit that the new normal is not going to be anything resembling the old normal.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that things have to be bad or that we cannot make the best of our situations. As I see it, it’s a perfect opportunity to define a better way of doing things. Take working conditions, for instance.

Small changes around the home or home office can have long-lasting effects. Picking up a second monitor can do wonders for your productivity. A standing desk can also help ensure you aren’t falling into bad habits like slumping at the computer for hours on end.

Walking treadmills are nice, if you have the room to put one in place. You’ll also need to make sure your desk situation is conducive to one, too.

The Sit2Go 2-in-1 Fitness Chair, from FlexiSpot, aims to replace your office chair, or at least find a place in your home. It’s more or less like having a stationary bicycle at your desk with a bit of freedom and functionality.

Offered in white, the Sit2Go is an exercise bike that is easy to put together and even easier to work with. It’s designed to sit under your desk, but moves about the house without any real effort.

Thanks to its adjustable seat height, the chair works for family members and coworkers of all sizes. And the breathable mesh backrest keeps you from getting all sweaty should you get carried away with a brisk pace.

Features

  • Height adjustable seat with mesh backrest
  • Track distance, calories, time, and more
  • Adjustable resistance levels
  • Moves from room to room and locks itself in place

Impressions

I found the SitGo to be simple to install, taking all of about five minutes to put the seat and back rest on and swing the legs out. Toss in a few (four) AA batteries, screw in the pedals, and you’re all set.

The fitness chair is very quiet to operate and works terrific under a standing desk. It captures not only the length of time you’re pedaling, but also calories burned, and distance, too. With a number of resistance levels to choose from you can go from leisurely and mindlessly getting in some miles to pushing your cardio levels a bit.

I liked that this bike pretty much locks in place whenever I sit on it, but it can take a few times to figure out how to manage the desk. Hint, pull the desk to you instead of trying to slide the bike.

Increasingly, I find myself moving to the bike and standing desk as I’ve become more comfortable with the settings. I miss having the multiple screens and more powerful PC, but working from a laptop or Chromebook and getting in a few miles has become more important to me.

Things look to be opening up here and there, but I am not really that interested in dealing with that many people just yet. This means the trips to the YMCA and gym are down. And with high levels of humidity, mixed with plenty of rain, it’s not exactly easy to bike to the office.

Thanks to the Sit2Go, I can get in 10 miles before lunch and not break out in a sweat. Hell, I can get another 10 or more in after lunch, too.

Were I to use this in my home, I suspect I would move it from room to room or even take it out on the back deck. It rolls nicely and takes up less space than a yoga mat. I could see myself enjoying a movie on the projector or taking in a playlist on a sunny Saturday morning.

At $369.99 I’ll be the first to admit that this is a pretty big ask for a lot of readers. That seems like quite a bit of money and it is –if you’re not serious about the purchase. In looking up other exercise bikes I found that the Sit2Go is right in line with expectations.

If you’ve committed yourself to being more active or taking your health more seriously, I can definitely recommend the FlexiSpot Sit2Go.

Where to Buy

Whether it’s working from home, taking remote classes, or doing anything in a virtual setting, the “new normal” can be a challenge for some. Sure, it’s nice to get together over Zoom or Skype to collaborate and catch up, but what happens after you hang up?

GRID Studio turns smartphones into wall art: A review

What do you do with your old phone when you’re done with it? Does it pass down to other, younger members of the family? Do you sell it? Ever thought about pulling it apart and turning it into wall art?

Grid Studio does exactly that, taking select phones and other notable gadgets, and repurposing them as a piece of artwork.

With quite a selection of iPhone models to choose from, GRID Studio has been expanding its portfolio to include Android devices. Now available are the first generation Samsung Galaxy S and the original Google Pixel. Also offered are the first-gen Apple Watch, Game Boy Color, and Sony PSP, and other devices.

Our team was provided a framed Google Pixel here at the office and we fell fast in love with it. A perfect way of looking back at a key moment in time, it also provides a way of looking directly under the hood of the phone.

Each piece is more or less a disassembled product spread across a framed white panel. Depending on which device you choose you’ll end up with either an A3 (11.7 x 16.5 inches) or 13-inch square with a two-inch deep black frame.

If you thought a phone was interesting to look at, breaking it apart and looking closely at the individual components is even better. Each part is clearly labeled, including the display, battery, speakers, cameras, case, cables, and processor. Also included are measurements, a blurb about the release, and in some instances, a quote.

Each piece of art is individually and personally constructed with an exacting level of detail. Truly, pictures don’t quite capture how cool the overall design is for the piece.

Should you struggle to find new or interesting gifts for friends and loved ones, I certainly suggest checking out the pieces at Grid Studio. This goes double if they are or were particularly fond of a specific model or gadget.

  • The care and detail of the GRID Studio artwork
  • A beautifully wrapped gift
  • Looks great in any environment

You can tell from the moment you open your box that it’s something assembled with care and love. From the way in which it’s packed to the wrapping paper and wax seal, it’s great stuff.

Order Yours Today

To be clear, these don’t come cheap but a quality piece of art never does. And that’s what these truly are — quality artwork. The attention to detail, the spacing and framing, and the overall approach is unique and different.

Pieces range from around $130 on up with most devices hovering around $150-$180. Sign up for the email mailing list and you can save 10% on your first purchase.

The Nitty Gritty: Purchase a pre-owned unlocked Google 4 for just $399 and use it with your favorite carrier.

On the hunt for a new handset but don’t need all the bells and whistles that come with a flagship model? That’s totally understandable; most people can get by with a phone that’s a generation or two behind. What’s more, you don’t need a device that was ever considered a “flagship” to begin with. Take the Google Pixel 4, for instance.

One of our favorite phones of the last few years, the Pixel 4 is still a solid representation of how Google thinks a device should look and operate. And while it originally launched in 2019, it still has a decent amount of hardware for most people. Plus, Google will surely support it software updates and patches for the foreseeable future.

Running a stock version of Android, it’s also among the best simple point and shoot camera experiences in mobile.

The AG Deals Store has a sale on pre-owned versions of the Google Pixel 4, listing them for just $399 right now. Sold unlocked, it will work with your carrier of choice, and has a 30-day parts and labor warranty.

Samsung Good Lock: Completely change your One UI experience

Josiah Ward

Android phones and tablets come in many shapes and sizes, with different versions of software powering things. And while the default build of Android, commonly referred to as “stock” continues to gain traction, some device makers opt for their own user interface (UI) or user experience (UE).

Take, for instance, Samsung and the software it uses for handsets like the Galaxy S20. Having gone through multiple names and iterations over the years, its One UI powers many of its phones.

What is One UI?

In short, One UI is the software that runs on your Samsung phone or tablet. It is a so-called skin over Android that implements features and UI elements not present in stock Android. That is to really say it offers many features and branded customizations on top of the standard Android experience.

Peeling that onion back a layer, Samsung has an app or tool for its devices called Good Lock.

What is Samsung Good Lock?

Good Lock is a modular suite of apps that can customize various elements of the UI, including the so-called “Unit” apps and the “Family” apps, which are listed below with their descriptions.

Good Lock has been around since 2016 and has been updated yearly since then. It more or less offers a whole new layer of customization on top of One UI, embodied by the app’s tagline “Redesign your Galaxy.” Think of it has like a custom ROM experience without the hassle of rooting or messing around.

How do you install Good Lock and its different Units?

Good Lock main screen
Good Lock Main screen

You can install Good Lock here and once you’re within the app, you can click on the name of the Unit to install it. To go into the Unit once it’s installed, once again click on the name of the Unit. You’ll know whether or not a Unit is installed by the icon next to it, with not installed Units having a download icon next to them.

Good Lock Unit Apps

  • Lockstar – Create new Lockscreen style
  • QuickStar – Customize your special Quickpanel
  • ClockFace – Pick a clock style you like!
  • MultiStar – Enjoy enhanced Multiwindow experience
  • NavStar – Create your own navigation bar
  • Home Up – Enjoy enhanced One UI Home Experience
  • NotiStar – Notistar is new notification management service
  • Routines+ – Add advanced features to Bixby Routines so you can make more powerful routines

Family Apps

  • Keys Café – Set up a keyboard that’s tailored to you
  • Pentastic – Add your uniqueness to S pen with Pentastic!
  • Wonderland – Create a moving wallpaper
  • Theme Park – Theme Park is a service to create a theme and install it quickly and easily
  • Nice Catch – Got tired of mysterious vibration on your phone?
  • One Hand Operation+ – Control your phone or tablet more easily with just one hand
  • EdgeTouch – Prevent unintended operation by setting restriction on the edge of your Galaxy
  • Sound Assistant – Advanced sound utility for your Galaxy

What Good Locks Units stand out the most?

MultiStar

MultiStar

MultiStar, as mentioned above, is dedicated to the Multi-window experience. I think one of the most standout features for more is the first one, “Quick launch of the Multi window”, which makes it so that the Recents key launches your multi-window mode. This is actually a feature I lost moving from my Note 10+ to my Galaxy S21 Ultra, so getting it back is a very pleasant experience. Multi Focus is also an interesting concept, and this can make multitasking much easier because you can switch between apps quickly and easily.

Home Up

Good Lock Home Up Unit
Home Up Main screen

Home Up, despite the name, isn’t dedicated to just your home screen. It also has two particularly interesting components in it: Share Manager and Task Changer.

Share Manager

Good Lock Share Manager Unit
Share Manager

Within the Share Manager Unit, you can change up how the menu looks when you share things, including turning parts off to make it appear smaller on the screen. You can also add Favorites to your Direct Share, the bit that appears at the very top of your share menu.

Task Changer

Good Lock Task Changer Unit
Task Changer

The Task Changer Unit can change the layout of your Recents Menu and turn on and off certain components. Each layout type brings some different options that you’ll have to explore, but my personal favorite layout is the grid. It makes your Recents easier to see all at once.

SoundAssistant

Good Lock Sound Assistant Unit
Sound Assistant

Sound Assistant has actually been around for quite a while before it was part of the Good Lock family. You can theme your volume panel, control individual app volume, increase volume steps (which is good if you have trouble finding a middle ground in your volume), and much more.

QuickStar

Good Lock QuickStar Unit
QuickStar

QuickStar can change your Quick Panel and your notification bar, including the ability to change where you swipe to open the Quick Panel directly, remove icons from your notification bar, and style your Quick Panel (I’ll touch on this in the future when I cover Theme Park more in-depth).

Parting Thoughts

Obviously, this is only the tip of the iceberg with Good Lock, which offers many more units and a world of customization. Regardless of which units you decide to install and configure, Good Lock can truly Redesign your Galaxy.

In addition to announcing a pair of new folding phones (Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3) at its Unpacked event, Samsung also introduced the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Galaxy Watch 4.

As the first smartwatches to feature Wear OS powered by Samsung, the wearables include the newly-announced Exynos W920 processor. The chip employs cutting-edge 5nm technology for more efficiency.

According to Samsung, the new line of smartwatches offer Samsung’s “most complete wellness experience” to date and house a new groundbreaking sensor. The component lets users measure blood oxygen levels, detect AFib (irregular heartbeat), and can also calculate body composition.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (via Samsung)

The Watch 4 series of wearables include more, and better, Google apps, and an overall enhanced experience. Details include faster automatic workout recognition, more accurate calorie counting, and better sleep tracking.

In terms of hardware improvements, they include a sharper always-on AMOLED display, faster charging, and generally thinner body.

The Body Composition measurement tool gives wearers a better understanding of their overall health and fitness, and includes measurements such as skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage.

The Galaxy Watch 4 has a smooth, thin design reminiscent of the Galaxy Watch Active, and features an aluminum body. The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic dials things up a bit with stainless steel and a physically rotating bezel.

Availability

Both models of wearable will be offered in two sizes (40mm and 44mm) and with an LTE variant. The Galaxy Watch 4 series starts at $250 for the Bluetooth models and $300 with 4G LTE. The Watch 4 Classic is $100 more at $350 and $400. Pre-orders are available immediately with both sold in a variety of color options.

Samsung unveils Galaxy Z Flip 3 at latest Unpacked event

Samsung on Wednesday held its latest Unpacked where it showed off its latest and greatest mobile tech. Unfortunately for Note fans, it appears there won’t be a new model this year as Samsung is going all-in with foldables.

Taking center stage this time around are the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3. The former we’ll detail here, but if you’re interested in learning more about the spiritual successor to the Note series of phones, check out out coverage of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 announcement.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

The more compact of the folding phones, the Galaxy Z Flip3 includes many of the rugged improvements from the Galaxy Z Fold 3, including the Armor Aluminum frame, IPX8 water-resistance, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Worth noting, of course, the smaller design means it loses out on some other key specs. For example, the Flip 3 only has Bluetooth 5.1 instead of 5.2, there’s no Wi-Fi 6E support, and it can only charge at 15W instead of the 25W the Fold3 is rated for.

None of this is really a deal-breaker, but it’s certainly a step down from the Fold3. Below are the full specs of the Galaxy Z Flip3.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 Specs:

  • Display: 6.7-inch Dynamic OLED 2640 x 1080 120Hz
  • SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or Samsung Exynos 2100 depending on the region
  • RAM: 8GB
  • Storage: 128GB or 256GB
  • Rear Cameras: 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide, 12MP f/1.8 main with OIS
  • Front Camera: 10MP f/2.4 cover camera
  • Battery: 3,300mAh with 15W wired charging and 10W Qi wireless charging
  • OS: Android 11 with One UI 3.1.1

Availability

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 is available for pre-order now for $999 in the U.S. and it’s expected to arrive by August 21, 2021. It comes in Cream, Green, Lavender, Phantom Black, Gray, White, or Pink.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 announced for August 27

Jason England

Samsung on Wednesday unveiled its third-generation foldable handsets, one of which being the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The other model announced, the Galaxy Z Flip 3, has its own coverage.

Slated to arrive in late August, it’s built of a new “Armor Aluminum” material with Gorilla Glass Victus. Moreover, its IPX8 rated against water, marking a first in the folding phone space.

Lighter, thinner, and more durable than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is also less expensive than previous generations. Indeed, the phone retails with a starting price of $1,800 for the 256GB version.

In terms of hardware specifications, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 features a 6.2-inch AMOLED cover screen and 7.6-inch AMOLED screen inside. Performance comes from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 octa-core processor with either 256GB or 512GB storage.

Memory comes in at a hefty 12GB while the 4,400mAh battery keeps things running. Cameras are 10-megapixels and 4-megapixels for the front cover and front main, respectively.

As far as productivity and user experience goes, Samsung has moved the needle again for its foldable handset. For the first time ever, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 supports the S Pen digital stylus, meaning marking up documents and taking notes becomes that much more efficient.

Samsung is also working with partners like Google and Microsoft on apps designed to take advantage of the multiple screens and/or larger display. Further, Samsung’s new Labs feature plays nice with most other apps, optimizing them with re-sizing and aspect ratio adjustments, and providing Multi-Active Window and a Flex Mode Panel support.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Specs

  • Display: 7.6-inch AMOLED 2268 x 1768 120Hz main screen; 6.2-inch AMOLED 2268 x 832 120Hz cover screen
  • SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888
  • RAM: 12GB
  • Storage: 256GB or 512GB
  • Rear Cameras: 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide, 12MP f/1.8 main with OIS, 12MP f/2.4 2X telephoto with OIS
  • Front Camera: 10 MP f/2.2; 4MP f/1.8 in-display camera
  • Battery: 4,400mAh with 25W wired charging and 10W Qi wireless charging
  • OS: Android 11 with One UI 3.1.1

As you can see, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a bit of a beast on paper featuring dual 120Hz displays this year, the latest Snapdragon 888 chip from Qualcomm, and 12GB of RAM. It also boasts Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, and support for 5G networks.

Furthermore, the Galaxy Fold 3 is Samsung’s most durable folding phone yet with a stronger Armor Aluminum frame, IPX8 water-resistance, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Samsung also upgraded the folding display this year by using a PET screen over the TPU material that was previously used. The new PET plastic should improve the resistance against dings and scratches, and that should come in handy with the new S Pen support.

S Pen

Speaking of the S Pen, Samsung offers two different models of the S Pen. The first is the S Pen Fold edition with support only for the Z Fold3. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to store the S Pen in the device like with the Note series. Instead, you’ll need to buy a case that features a slot to keep it handy.

Since the S Pen Fold Edition won’t be inserted into the device, this means it doesn’t feature Bluetooth and won’t require charging. What this means, is you’ll lose some of the more advanced features from the Note series but it will still support Air command. Oh, and did I forget to mention the S Pen Fold Edition won’t come bundled in, it’s an additional $50 purchase.

If you want an S Pen with all the features, then you’ll have to spring for the more expensive $100 S Pen Pro. The S Pen Pro is a slightly larger stylus with Bluetooth supporting Air command, Air Actions, and device switching. With Bluetooth built-in, you’re going to need to charge the S Pen Pro and for that, it includes a USB-C at the end of the stylus.

Both of these S Pen models have been designed to work using less pressure and rounded tips to work better on the delicate Fold3 display and prevent damaging it.

Availability

The next-gen folding handset is offered Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and Phantom Silver with a starting price of $1,799.99 for the 256GB storage capacity. A 512GB option is also offered for $1,899.99, however a limited time promotion sees Samsung discounting the price by $100 putting at the same price.

Limited-time Promotions

Through August 26, 2021, consumers who pre-order the phone on Samsung.com via the Shop Samsung mobile app can receive the following discounts and deals:

  • Get $200 Samsung Credit
  • Opt-in to a 3-year Samsung Care+ plan (cancellable at any time) to also get a discount on the total plan price and have no monthly payment for the first 12 months.
  • Trade-in up to four devices and earn up to $800 in credit to be applied toward a Galaxy Z Fold 3
  • Refer a friend with Samsung’s Referral Program and unlock up to $1,000 in rewards.

Special Edition

Thom Browne and Samsung have partnered yet again, this time bringing the signature Thom Browne signature colors (Thom Browne White) to the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Pre-orders are available immediately for $3,499.99 with select market availability and limited numbers.

Nokia phone buyer’s guide

Buying a phone in 2021 is an entirely different situation than it was just a few years back. Many consumers are used to buying their phones from their wireless service provider but that’s slowly changing.

Thanks to the growing presence of unlocked handsets, customers are now able to choose from a much wider selection. Instead of being stuck with what your carrier offers, consider going direct to the manufacturer.

Nokia is one brand that has done pretty well in the unlocked space; it continues to grow its portfolio with models at a variety of price points and hardware features.

We’ve put together this Nokia phone buyer’s guide to help you make heads or tails out of everything. This should help you get a better understanding of what’s currently available from Nokia.

Nokia Phone Buyer’s Guide

Nokia’s phones are essentially named and classified with a number. The general rule of thumb here is the bigger the number, the more powerful the phone. As of today its phones mainly range from the 2 and 8 series of phones; the Nokia 7.2, for instance, is a successor to the Nokia 7.1. The newer models in the Nokia lineup include the G10, G20, and XR20.

Android One

One of the best parts about Nokia phones is that they come with a stock version of Android. It’s lean and clean and left the way Google intended it to be.

Additionally, Nokia does a wonderful job of supporting its phones with major software updates and monthly security patches. Its devices receive two years of major platform updates and three years of security and bug fixes.

Dedicated Button

Another common feature in Nokia phones is a dedicated hardware button for Google Assistant. This gives users a quick and easy way of accessing the popular search tool and virtual assistant.

Key Phones

These are some of the current phones and their respective features offered by Nokia.

Nokia XR20

About as robust of an experience as you’re apt to find with the handset maker, standout details for the XR20 include a two-year warranty with three years of OS upgrades and four years of security updates. That’s far and above what most companies are willing to offer.

The sleek casing is designed to the MIL-STD-810H military standards and takes on drops, water, dust, and dirt. In fact, you can clean it with soap and water.

The dual rear camera configuration includes a 48-megapixel sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and dedicated flash. Then there’s also a suite of hardware and software enhancements to ensure everything looks great.

Nokia G10 and G20

Powered by Android 11, these two are more budget-minded approaches to the everyman phone. That is to say they are 4G handsets with MediaTek processors and modest amounts of memory.

Either phone would make a great first smartphone for someone but we suggest spending the extra money for the G20 if it’s available. For your money you’ll get more storage and performance.

Nokia X100

Nokia X100

Among the bigger and more well-rounded, the Nokia X100 runs Android 11 and offers 5G support.

Users get a large 6.67-inch display as well as a quad-camera (48MP + 5MP Ultra-Wide + 2MP Macro + 2MP Depth) array with ZEISS features​.

Under the hood are a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480G processor bolstered by 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Rounding things out are a 4,470mAh battery and a side-mounted power and fingerprint sensor button.

Nokia G300

Powered by Android 11, the device provides users with a 6.52-inch HD+ screen, a triple camera array, and 4,470mAh battery.

A mid-range phone for modest needs, it offers wide support for 4G LTE bands and 5G, too. The handset packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 processor with 4GB RAM. Storage is listed at 64GB of space but a microSD expansion card slot allows for up to 1TB external media.

Nokia G50

Nokia G50

An excellent option for first-time users and those who don’t demand much of their phone, this one packs a large 6.82-inch HD+ screen and an equally large 5,000mAh battery.

The handset runs Android 11 and comes with 4GB and 128GB memory. A triple-camera configuration snaps ultra-wide and portrait shots alike while the expandable (up to 512GB) storage ensures you’ve got room to store them.

Nokia 3 Series

Often sold through prepaid carriers and MVNOs, these are now what you’d find in the entry level space from Nokia. Although they are a little lighter on hardware, they still come with a wonderful software experience that’s backed with years of support.
