Samsung may not have been the first manufacturer to introduce a foldable phone, but I’m sure its the first brand that comes to mind when you think of foldables. Thanks to the success of its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series, Samsung has become synonymous with foldable phones.
Now, the tech juggernaut is sharing some of its metrics and reasons for success. For starters, in an internal consumer survey, 96% of Galaxy Z Fold 2 users say they are satisfied with their purchase. On top of that, 9 out of 10 of them say they would purchase a foldable phone again.
The biggest reason customers purchased the Galaxy Z Fold 2 won’t surprise you I’m sure, it was due to the larger tablet-sized display–which they use for video calls, reading ebooks, playing games, and dealing with work emails and documents.
Galaxy Z Flip customers, on the other hand, cite the phone’s sleek fashionable look, being able to have a full-sized smartphone that folds up to fit in their hand, and the iconic nostalgic design as the reasons for purchasing.
Samsung has seen a lot of success thanks to its foldable smartphones, with three out of every four foldables shipped worldwide last year belonging to the Galaxy lineup. Research shows that’s not slowing down any time soon, with half of U.S. consumers saying they are interested in buying a foldable phone as their next device.
Finally, one of the biggest reasons for Samsung’s success in the foldables market is by making it more accessible to get your hands on one. It does this by lowering the price of the devices by offering a referral program and providing foldable customers with access to its rewards program Z Premier.
However, the Buy and Try program is probably one of the biggest reasons Samsung’s foldable smartphones are so popular. With this program, customers get an extended 100 day trial of the devices, and after experiencing them, they are less likely to give them up.
Practically anyone and everyone in the US is familiar with the top-tier wireless service providers. Ask around and most folks can think of Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint — they’re the so-called “Big Four”.
For every one of the major network operators listed above there are a number of other players in the space. Some service providers license infrastructure to Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and include the likes of Metro, Boost Mobile, and Cricket Wireless.
Select carriers offer their own prepaid services with different rate plans, phone selection, and support. Let’s take a look at one of them in particular: Verizon Prepaid.
About
Verizon Prepaid operates in the United States using the same network as the tier-one brand and, for the most part, provides nearly identical coverage. One key difference is that prepaid customers may face roaming fees in select areas.
There are no credit checks required for service and there are no activation fees at the time of subscription.
Rate Plans
Verizon Prepaid rate plans are no-contract, meaning you can go month-to-month with no long-term agreement or cancellation fees. Moreover, it does not charge for going over your allotted data; you receive “throttled” 2G speeds on data for the remainder of the bill cycle.
$40/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with 5GB of high-speed data
$50/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with 15GB high-speed data
$65/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with unlimited high-speed data
$75/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with unlimited high-speed data 5G Ultra Wideband Mobile Hotspot
Subscribers can sign up for Auto Pay, or automatic bill payment, and save $5 per month on each of the three plans.
Loyalty Discount
Verizon Prepaid gives its subscribers a discount for staying with the brand. Customers save $5 per month on a line of service after three months; a $10 monthly savings is offered after nine months.
Here’s how the same three plans break down after nine months of online payment and with automatic bill payment.
$25/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with 5GB of high-speed data
$35/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with 15GB high-speed data
$50/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with unlimited high-speed data
$60/month: Unlimited Talk and Text with unlimited high-speed data 5G Ultra Wideband Mobile Hotspot
Customers interested in family plans or multiple lines can do so. It’s possible to mix and match based off of individual needs.
Other Verizon Prepaid Features and Offerings
Verizon Prepaid provides a handful of extras to its customers, including international calling and the ability to use allotted data overseas.
Handset Selection
Verizon Prepaid has a number of prepaid phone options, including those from familiar names from brands like Google, Samsung, and Motorola.
For those looking to save money there are also a handful devices which are certified pre-owned, meaning they come with their own guarantee/warranty.

Bring Your Own Device
You can often use your current phone to Verizon Prepaid, especially if it was previously paired with the standard Verizon service. Head to Verizon Prepaid’s website to check whether your specific model is supported.
Also, we’re seeing a growing trend of unlocked phones with support for Verizon and its Prepaid bands. Examples include the various Motorola E and G series as well as those from Blu, Alcatel, TCL, and Samsung.
Back in December 2020, Amazon opened up pre-orders for its Alexa-powered smart glasses dubbed the Echo Frames. Since that time, it has been listening to customer feedback and looking for ways to improve the prescription-ready glasses.
With these being released just in time for summer, you’ll be happy to know the lightweight Echo Frames come with an IPX4 water resistance rating, able to withstand splashes of water and sweat. Now, you’ll be all ready to hang out by the pool or go on hikes this summer taking Alexa to assist you wherever you go.
Next up are the Echo Frames with blue-light filtering lenses set to ship on June 9, 2021. As the name suggests, these special lenses will help filter out the blue light from computer screens, TV, phones, and tablets. If you’re someone who works from home or just enjoys long gaming sessions, then these lenses could be just what you’re looking for.
If you’re wondering why you’d want a pair of Echo Frames to begin with, there are plenty of reasons. For starters, you get access to the power of Alexa anytime anywhere. That means you can control your smart home, ask for directions, search the web, and even broadcast to your other Alexa-enabled devices.
Additionally, Echo Frames can be used to make calls with friends thanks to the speakers built into the glasses, and it can even read your notifications to you.
Listening to your favorite podcast or checking out an audiobook has also never been easier with Auto Volume Control that adjusts the media volume based on your environment. So it doesn’t matter if you’re in a noisy cafe or relaxing in silence at home, the Echo Frames will ensure you won’t miss a thing.
The original Echo Frames are also still available with a starting price of $249.99 offering multiple different options for the style of frame. While the newest Echo Frames with polarized or blue-light filtering lenses only come with classic black frames and start at $269.99.
In this review, we’re taking a close look at the Bluetti AC200P 2000Wh portable power station. This is truly one of the most reliable portable power sources that you can get on the market, and that’s because of its enormous power capacity, many options for powering and charging devices, and it also has an intuitive screen that allows you to view stats as well as controlling a few functions for the Bluetti AC200P.
Power
Power Capacity:
You won’t easily run out of power capacity with this Bluetti AC200P power station, as it has a 2000Wh power capacity. That’s a lot og power capacity as this AC200P is the equivalent of putting together twenty small portable power stations that may only use a single AC outlet.
The use of a 2000Wh power capacity is great, but it’s also necessary because of the many ways that you’re able to use AC200P. That said, there are two amounts of power capacity that you’ll be able to use when it comes to using this power station, as some parts of the power station use less power and therefore you get more power capacity to use as the conversion of the battery power is better.
Higher Power Capacity – Less Power Usage
Faster, or more power-oriented parts of using this power station will give you less power capacity to lose as there is more heat generated.
2000Wh x 1000 = 2,000,000 / 3.7V = 540,540mAh
If you’re more accustomed to using Mili-Amp Hour (mAh) to measure power capacity, rather than Watt Hours (Wh), as it’s used prominently with power banks, then you can tell that 540,540mAh is a very VERY high power capacity.
This is a measure of power that you’ll be able to use when it comes to charging from the USB-A and USB-C Power Delivery port on this power station. However, the power station charging power may vary as it’s able to charge at higher voltages when charging certain devices.
Overall, if all you’re doing with this power station is charging smartphones, or tablets while you’re out camping, or on a road trip, then it may very well last the entirety of your trip. This is because most smartphones on the market now have a 4,000mAh battery, with a 540,540mAh power capacity that you can use, this means that you can get one hundred or more full charges for a single smartphone. Even splitting those full charges among two, three, or even four phones, still means that this power station can last for many days or a week of constant use.
Lower Capacity – Higher Power Usage
On the other hand, if you’re using higher power usage methods from this Bluetti power station, then you’re going to be getting less power capacity to use. In this case, we’re calculating how much power capacity is available to use when it comes to using a power output of 14.8V.
2000Wh x 1000 = 2,000,000 / 14.8V = 135,135mAh
This substantially lower power capacity to use comes from more heat being generated, and with power being transferred faster from one device to another, power is lost during the process of charging and powering. By using a 14.8V power output, you are losing a good amount of power to use, but at the same time, it’s still higher than most other power stations and you’re able to do a lot with it.
With a 135,135mAh power capacity when using the DC or USB-C Power Delivery ports, you’re still able to charge laptops to full power many times. If we’re assuming that, at most, a laptop has a 7,000mAh battery capacity, then this means that you can charge a laptop to full power about nineteen times. This means you can charge a laptop for more than two weeks straight without having to recharge the power station.
Even if you’re charging, or powering other devices with the other ports or AC outlets, there’s still a ton of power to go around that can last for about a week. Having a “Lower Capacity” isn’t exactly a thing in this case, because you still get so much from using the power station.
Output Charging:
The type of charging and powering features that a power station has been one of the most valuable parts of it. Sure, the power capacity is important because it dictates just how long you’re able to use the power station, but how you’re able to utilize this Bluetti AC200P power station is something that few others are capable of doing on the market. If any. There are a total of seven-way to use this AC200P and in all, you’re able to charge and power 17 devices at the same time. Sound impressive? It is.
USB-A & USB-C Power Delivery Port / Dual Wireless Charging
First, the basics. The AC200P gets the basics perfectly, and that’s because it has a total of four USB-A ports and a single USB-C Power Delivery port.
There are two pairs of USB-A ports, and each pair has a 5V/3.0A power output. This is a great charging speed for basically charging any smartphone or tablet out there. That said, none of the USB-A ports features Quick Charge, so you won’t be able to fast charge your Android smartphone with any of the USB-A ports.
Then there’s the USB-C Power Delivery port. When it comes to Power Delivery, most power banks tend to use either an 18W, 30W, or 45W Power Delivery charging speed. Those are good pretty good charging speeds, but this AC200P has a 60W charging speed, higher than what most power banks have.
At the same time, a 60W Power Delivery charging speed can charge most USB-C PD laptops at or near their max charging speed. For example, the MacBook Air has a 30W max charge rate, so this PD port can charge it at its max charging speed with the 60W PD port. The Lenovo Flex 5 laptop that I use is also able to charge at its max speed.
When it comes to charging smartphones, the Power Delivery port is also able to charge USB-C smartphones and iPhones at their max speed, too.
To add to the five charging ports, this power station even has two wireless charging pads at the top and this enables you to charge two Qi wireless charging smartphones at the top of the power station. The best part is that the two wireless charging pads have a combined 15W output, meaning that you’re able to fast charge a Samsung phone at 10W and charge another phone at the same time at 5W. Bluetti didn’t have to place wireless charging on this power station, and most power stations don’t have wireless charging in the first place. However, the fact that you’re able to charge your phone without a cable with this power station is incredible.
Two 12V/3.0A DC Ports (DC5521)
There are two 12V/3.0A DC ports on the AC200P, and overall, DC ports can be useful if you have something to charge or power them with. In this case, the 12V/3.0A DC ports are going to be most useful when it comes to charging laptops that also use a DC barrel charging port.
12V/10A DC Car Port
The 12V/10A DC port is the same port that you’re able to find in most vehicles, and in this case, you would use this DC port for powering appliances. The most common appliance that we can think of when it comes to using the DC carport is a portable air tire pressure pump. These pumps almost always have a DC cable that can be plugged into this 12V/10A carport.
12V/25A DC Outlet
One other DC port on this AC200P is the 12V/25A port, and this port has a ton of power and it’s mainly useful to power RV vehicles, and by doing so, it’s able to power quite a few appliances inside your RV.
6 AC Outlets with a Shared 2000W Power Output
The most impressive part of this Bluetti AC200P 2000Wh power station is the use of its six AC outlets. There are very few portable power stations on the market that use six AC outlets, with most of them using either one or two, max. The other great part is that the six AC outlets share a massive 2000W power output.
Six AC outlets that share a 2000W power output enables you to power six appliances at the same time, meaning that you can have a Magic Bullet blender, a fridge, charge a laptop with a laptop charger, power a lamp, a mini fan, and a mini electric grill at the same time. With all this being powered no matter where you are with the AC200P truly makes this Bluetti power station one of the best on the market.
Another thing to add is that each of the six AC outlets is three-prong plugs so you have a more free range of what you’re able to connect to the AC outlets.
Input Charging:
The output of this AC200P is powerful and there are many options. On the same note, the input for recharging this power station is just as good, and that’s because you have five options to recharge the AC200P.
The two main methods of recharging the AC200P is the use of an AC or car adapter. The AC adapter is perfect for recharging the unit while you’re at home, while the car adapter is useful for recharging the unit when you’re driving.
The good thing is that the AC200P comes with the AC and car charger. The one other more accessible way of recharging is by using a Solar panel, but this unit does not come with Solar panels. However, the AC00 does come with a Solar panel adapter that you can use to plug into Solar panels.
The two other methods of recharging this power station are not the most common and are ones that you likely won’t be using but are always there to use. One would be using a Gasoline or Diesel generator to recharge the AC200P. The other would be using Lead Acid batteries to also recharge the unit.
Design
Size and Weight:
Before purchasing a portable power station it is important to acknowledge that it will be large and heavy. Portable power stations are not be held for a long duration of time and are more meant to be stored in case of an emergency or those places and times where you don’t have access to a stable source of power such as a wall outlet.
That’s the case for this AC200P power station as it has a length of 16.5 inches, a with of 15.2 inches, and a height of 11 inches. Most importantly the AC200P power stations weigh 57 pounds. It’s very heavy and when it comes to picking it up we highly recommend that you pick up with your legs first and then your back. Once again, this is not a power station that you can hold for a long time, and it’s meant to stay in a single place when it comes to using it because of its larger size and heavyweight.
Functional Components:
Even with all of its features, using the AC200P power station is quite easy. All the output ports are at the front of the unit other than the two wireless charging pads at the top. The two input ports for recharging the power stations can be found to the side.
Also, at the front is where you’ll find a touch LCD screen. From the screen, you’re able to control quite a few things within the power station. The first thing is that you’re able to see how much remaining power capacity there is to use. Also, you’re able to see how much power the power station is outputting in wattage amount.
You can also select for the AC200P to enter into Power Saver mode, and in Power Saver mode the AC200P turns off automatically if it goes under a certain power output.
Build
Structure and Material:
The build quality of this Bluetti AC200P power station is great, and it’s on par with many of the other power stations that the brand has released. When all the ports are covered with their cover guards, then the power station does have a bit of water-resistant. On the shock-resistant side, well, there isn’t much shock-resistance, but these power stations are built well enough that you can place it into a trunk of a car and still not worry about it sliding and bumping around.
Tech:
Since the power station is capable of outputting 2000W, it has a fan on the inside to keep things cool. If the power station is either 45° Celcius (113° Fahrenheit) or has an output greater than 250W or 1000W, then the fan is automatically turned on at low speed. On the other hand, if the power station is 50° Celcius (122° Fahrenheit) or over 1500W, then the fan speed is set to high automatically.
Reliability
Power stations are built to be reliable, and they’re more reliable than any power bank that you will purchase. This Bluetti AC200P power station is one of the most reliable power stations that you can spend money on. There are very few power stations that make use of six AC outlets and to add to that, you have four USB-A ports, a 60W Power Delivery port, and two wireless charging pads at the top.
You also get three types of DC ports that can prove useful for charging or powering certain devices and appliances. With all of these ways to use the AC200P and combining it with the massive 2000Wh power capacity, using this power station is like taking your home with you no matter where you are.

Summary:
Power:
There is a ton of power to use, with a 2000Wh power capacity that can charge smartphones into the hundred range and six AC outlets with a 2000W max output.
Design:
Power stations are going to be large and heavy. That’s the case with this AC200P that is a large block that weighs about 57 pounds. Even though the power station is large, it’s easy to use with everything being quite organized with its placement. To add to that, there is a Touch LCD screen that power stations, in general, don’t use at all.
Build:
The build quality of this power station is good, especially on the inside because there is a fan that has a low and high-speed setting depending on the output and temperature of the internals. On the outside, the AC200P power station is also built well, but it’s not a rugged power station, at the same time it can still take bumps and light falls.
Reliability:
This is a very reliable power station, it has high power capacity, many charging ports, and most notably the six three-prong AC outlets with a 2000W combined power output. Being able to power six appliances at the same time can be dream-like if you’re someplace where you don’t have access to a stable source of power.
Conclusion:
Bluetti has done a lot in the portable power station space, and they’re pushing what power stations are capable of with this AC200P. It has everything that you would want a power station to feature with its high power capacity, many, many charging and powering options, and innovative design that makes use of a touch-screen for certain controls. It’s one of the best out there, and if you’re looking for a power station that is capable of doing it all, then the Bluetti AC200P is it.
Google has been busy lately updating its Phone app with useful features. A few weeks ago, it rolled out a way to record phone calls from unknown numbers.
Now, the latest addition is the ability for your phone to announce who is calling you. The new feature essentially reads out the caller ID information on your phone, making it easier for you to decide whether or not you want to pick up without having to look at your device. It was first spotted in an APK teardown from XDA-Developers way back in September 2020, but it only just now begun rolling out widely.
To enable the announcement of caller ID on your phone, first you must have the latest version of the Google Phone app. Next, open up the settings menu and navigate to the “Caller ID announcement option.” Finally, you’ll be able to choose from three different options, Always, Only when using a headset, and Never.
After enabling the caller ID announcement feature, you will begin hearing your phone announce the name and number for incoming calls. So whether your phone is on your nightstand or you have some sort of visual impairment, you’ll now be able to easily know who is calling next time the phone rings.
If you find the setting isn’t present on your device, like it’s currently isn’t on mine, then just be patient. It can take some time for new features to roll out to every person and hopefully it will land on your device and mine soon.
Amazon has just announced that subscribers to Amazon Music Unlimited in the U.S., UK, Germany, Canada, France, Italy, and Spain are receiving a free upgrade to Amazon Music HD. This comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Apple is adding hi-res and spatial audio to Apple Music in June 2021 at no additional cost.
With this free upgrade, Amazon Music subscribers will have access to a library of 70 million lossless audio tracks at CD quality with a bit depth of 16 bits and a sample rate of 44.1kHz. Along with that, customers will also gain access to seven million songs in Ultra HD quality with a bit depth of 24 bits and up to 192kHz sample rate.
When it comes to spatial audio, Amazon Music subscribers won’t be left in the dark there either. Amazon has a growing library of songs in two different 3D audio formats. The first is Dolby Atmos, the same format soon to be offered by Apple Music.
The second format is known as 360 Reality Audio, a format you may be familiar with if you’ve ever used the Sony products which support it, such as the Sony WF-1000XM3, Sony WH-1000XM4, or Sony’s RA5000 and RA3000 speakers.
With this announcement, it makes Amazon Music the first streaming service to standardize lossless audio at an affordable $9.99 per month subscription cost, just barely beating Apple to the punch. If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber then the deal is even sweeter, dropping the price down to $7.99 per month.
That’s a far cry from the $19.99 a month that Tidal charges its subscribers for lossless audio, and beats out Amazon Music HD’s previous price of $14.99 for non-Prime members. Now, the question is, will we see a mass exodus from Tidal, and will other players such as Spotify and YouTube Music join Amazon and Apple by offering lossless audio at no additional cost?
Recently, there have been rumors about HiFi audio coming to Apple Music. In fact, Apple itself teased the upcoming release in the app last Friday with the text “Get ready–music is about to change forever.”
Now, it has revealed with an official announcement this morning that lossless audio is coming to more than 75 million tracks in Apple Music starting next month. That’s not all though, Apple Music is also introducing Spatial Audio support using Dolby Atmos to provide multidimensional sound and clarity.
Basically, spatial audio will create a more immersive experience by using Dolby Atmos technology to make it appear that sound is coming all around you. By default, Apple Music will automatically play Dolby Atmos enabled tracks on all headphones with an H1 or W1 chip. This includes the popular AirPods and Beats lineup of headphones. It will also automatically play on the latest models of the iPhone, iMac, and Mac.
To help users identify which albums support spatial audio, Apple Music will display a badge on the details page to show which albums support Dolby Atmos. There will also be a special set of Dolby Atmos playlists curated and updated frequently to aid discovery.
Even better, this will be included in the normal subscription cost. That’s right, there is no reason to subscribe to a more expensive higher-tier plan to access hi-res or spatial audio.
Apple Music uses the Apple Lossless Audio Codec, or ALAC for short, and begins with what it calls CD quality at 16 bit 44.1kHz.
Apple Music’s Lossless tier starts at CD quality, which is 16 bit at 44.1 kHz (kilohertz), and goes up to 24 bit at 48 kHz and is playable natively on Apple devices. For the true audiophile, Apple Music also offers Hi-Resolution Lossless all the way up to 24 bit at 192 kHz.
Starting in June 2021, you can begin listening to lossless audio on the Apple Music app by turning it on in the settings. To do this, open the settings menu, navigate to Music, and then Audio Quality. From here, you can choose which resolution you wish to use depending on your connection.

However, it does outclass the Galaxy Book Pro in some areas. For example, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 features a Super AMOLED 1080p display in either 13.3-inch or 15.6-inch variants.

Most notably, the Galaxy Book Pro 360 is a 2-in-1 with an S Pen that comes in the box. So you’ll be able to use draw or take notes directly on the screen.
