Xcentz xWingMan 3 review

As we’re currently seeing play out all over the world, one can never be too prepared for a situation. And while having a fully charged phone doesn’t seem like it would normally be high on the list of priorities, it can be a really big deal.

Having a power reserve close at hand isn’t necessary, but’s quite helpful. Thankfully, external power banks have been inching into higher capacities at lower prices. There are plenty of options to choose from, even if you’re working with a tighter budget.

If you’re considering an external power supply or portable charger, you may want to look at Xcentz. A brand we’ve profiled here multiple times, it offers an array of power solutions that are affordable. Such is the case with its latest, the xWingMan 3.

What is the xWingMan 3?

It is a portable charger/power bank that packs 15,000mAh worth of juice. When many of today’s top handsets are around 2,500mAh-3,000mAh each, this means you’ll get about five extra charges for your phone.

With an overall footprint that’s not much larger than a deck of playing cards, it fits nicely in your pocket or backpack. It’s dense, though, and does have a fair amount of heft.

The charger includes four blue LED lights to give you a sense as to how much battery is left. Consider each bar to be worth about 3,750mAh, or enough to top off your phone.

The xWingman 3 looks right at home with other modern Xcentz products, featuring the same colors and design language. Present are the ridges, “X” logo, and aesthetics found in its product line.

The Xcentz xWingMan 3 houses two USB-A (1X standard, 1X Quick Charge 3.0) ports. A third port is a PD-rated USB Type-C port which can be used for charging phones and charging the device itself. Indeed, one can charge up to three devices at once – up to 5V/3.6A.

What’s in the box?

  • Xcentz 15000 PD Portable Charger
  • USB-C to C cable
  • USB-A to C cable

Who is the xWingMan 3 for?

Anyone who wants to keep an extra charge or two for their phones will enjoy having the device. Students might like throwing one in a messenger bag or backpack to have handy.

The included cables are nice to have if you’re using USB Type-C devices. Whether it’s a phone, Nintendo Switch, or an iPad Pro, you’ll appreciate the cables. Of course those who rely on microUSB or Lightning can toss carry one with them to charge up headphones and other products.

Our thoughts

Having seen our fair share of chargers and power banks over the years, it’s tough to get overly excited or enthusiastic about them. Do they work? Are they affordable? What’s the capacity?

We like what Xcentz puts forth with its products and think the xWingMan 3 is a great addition to its portfolio. It’s conveniently sized and packs quite a punch in the capacity department.

There’s an 18-month warranty that comes with the charger, which is about six months longer than what others do. That’s peace of mind, and worth a few bucks on its own.

We love the price point of the charger, which is currently just $39.99 at Amazon.

Should I buy the Xcentz xWingMan 3?

Yes. This one is priced to sell and comes with a customer-friendly warranty behind it.

Three reasons to buy

  • Price
  • 18-month warranty
  • Charge up to three devices at once

One reason to reconsider

  • Unfamiliar brand for some

We’ve had a chance to play with other Xcentz products and feel they’re definitely worth a look. Its wall chargers are also interesting devices and priced affordably.

Where can I buy the Xcentz xWingMan 3?

Learn more about the xWingMan 3 and/or purchase one at Amazon. It is listed at $39.99 at the time of publication.

FunEasyLearn review

Thanks to our mobile phones, it’s no problem to pick up a new language on our lunch breaks and in our spare time. If you’re looking to learn languages on Android, you may be interested in checking out FunEasyLearn.

We live in a wonderful era. Information is available at the press of a button or tap of a screen that fits in our pocket. And even though we seem to be busier than ever, we can make excellent usage of our precious down time.

Take learning a new language, for instance. No longer do we have to have to take dedicated classes, do homework, or any of that other stuff we left behind in high school or college. It’s easier than ever to master a second or third tongue.

We’ve had FunEasyLearn on our phone, teaching ourselves a little bit of French over the last few days. Here are our thoughts on the experience.

Let’s go

Upon opening the app you’ll be asked to either log in with an existing account or create one. Well, there’s also an option to skip and do it later. Doing so makes it possible to track your progress; otherwise it’s a little more difficult to remember where you’ve been. This is certainly recommended if you plan to use multiple devices or rely on the app for the long term.

The app itself is free to install and use, but does come with pretty tight limitations. Further, you’ll see a full screen ad after each section. There are a number of options available to fully unlock things, including six months ($37.99), one year ($33.99 promo), and lifetime. As one might expect, the longer you commit to the subscription, the cheaper it is per month.

Choose your path

Once you’ve picked a language, you’ll dive into the first lessons. Here you can pick from categories such as people, fashion, health, work, culture, sports, animals, etc. Under each of these will be a small subset of options that drill down.

Under plants, for instance, you’ll find trees, fruit trees, flowers, and agriculture. And each of these will have about one half dozen words to learn. These subtopics will often have another few options tucked behind the pay wall.

Learning the words is really simple and straightforward. Typically, you’ll find a word presented with a Clip-art style image and audio and visual pronouncements. Cycle through the handful and you end up with an array of choices to go back and test yourself.

There are some pretty fun and interesting ways to ensure you understand the new words. This may be in the form of matching, choosing between two options, spelling it out, fill in the blanks, or something else.

We received a promotional code which unlocked the full suite for one month, giving us a chance to look at what lies beyond the pay wall. In short, there’s a wealth of words and sentences to choose from, each diving a little bit deeper.

If you’re serious about learning a new language, we feel strongly that you can get a solid understanding using FunEasyLearn.

Thoughts

Generally speaking, things are presented in a rather intuitive manner, grouping terms based on categories and sub-categories. It makes sense.

Learning sentences and phrases is a similar experience. You’ll start with a main topic such as basic sentences, emergencies, general conversation, or something else. Then, drill down a bit and you’ll learn a small number of phrases that fit the category.

The graphics, for their part, are a little bit generic and call to mind emojis and basic Clip-art from your keyboard. Paying for a subscription does nothing to change them or provide any other styles. It’s not as if we have any hard issue with them, but they don’t feel as modern and fresh as what we’re used to in 2020. To their credit, they are consistent.

We can imagine that someone with 10-15 minutes of free time could knock out a full category. You can stop anywhere along the way; once you know something, you can leave the area. But, for those who need a little bit of help, the mini-games and challenges make for fun ways of learning.

According to FunEasyLearn, there are some 15,000 words, phrases, letters, and expressions you can pick up across the full library. Spread over 54 native languages, there are 11,000 of the hand-drawn illustrations to help master upwards of three dozen languages.

Get started today

If you’d like to learn languages with FunEasyLearn, or find out more about the app and experience, be sure to check out the website. Head to the Google Play Store to download the mobile app, which figures to be rather popular. As of the time of publishing, the app had more than 6,200 reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars.

If you’re worried about service interruptions on your mobile phone service over the next few weeks, fear not. Nearly 200 wireless service providers have agreed to the “Keep Americans Connected Pledge”.

Created by the FCC, and signed by pretty much every name in the space, it’s a promise to US subscribers that they won’t be disconnected over late fees and inability to pay bills.

Drafted on March 13, the pledge says that wireless providers will adhere to the following guidelines over the next 60 days.

  • …not terminate service to any residential or small business customers because of their
    inability to pay their bills due to the disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic;
  • …waive any late fees that any residential or small business customers incur because of
    their economic circumstances related to the coronavirus pandemic; and
  • …open its Wi-Fi hotspots to any American who needs them.

You can check here and here for a list of carriers who have pledged to keep things rolling along during the pandemic period. Suffice it to say, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular are among them.

Mint Mobile, recognizing that Americans are being put through a serious amount of stress, is giving its customers a reprieve.

Starting immediately, and running through April 14, any new or existing Mint Mobile subscriber will receive free data add-ons for unlimited high speed data.

This will be helpful for customers who might need to spend more time on a phone or tablet as a result of additional work or home schooling.

All one has to do is open the most recent version of the Mint Mobile app (Android, iOS) and “buy more data”. They can do so in increments of 3GB; at least 95% of the previous add-on must be consumed before adding a new one.

Credit cards will show the charge but it will be refunded with 24 hours. Please allow for additional time when using a bank card.

Mint Mobile is a prepaid carrier which operates on T-Mobile’s network. Introductory rate plans start as low as $15 per month and include 3GB of high speed data — or unlimited for the first month.

Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab review

Scott Webster

0

Think back five or so years to when phone screens were pushing into 5-inch displays. Tablets were still popular and the larger screens were great to have for reading, editing, markups, and writing.

Today, as handsets routinely hover above 6 inches, it’s kind of hard to justify the need or money for a tablet under ten inches. Why drop a few hundred bucks on something that’s not all that different?

As tablet sales have seemingly plateaued, 2-in-1 devices and Chromebooks have picked up more traction. These offer a more unique experience — often one that lends itself to productivity and multi-tasking.

Devices are more appealing when they offer more than just a bigger display. Thankfully, we’re starting to see hardware makers play around with different designs again.

The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab is the sort of product that puts Android and Google Assistant support in a body that’s more versatile than a traditional tablet. It might resemble a conventional 10-inch tablet on its face, but there are a few hardware designs underneath that put it in a slightly different space.

We’ve had the chance to spend time with a Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab and are happy to share our impressions and insight into the device.

What is the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab?

Introduced in fall of 2019, it’s largely a 10.1-inch tablet with mostly mid-range hardware. It’s priced about $300 and looks to compete with the likes of the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019).

Powered by Android 9 Pie, the Yoga Smart Tab has a 10-inch display at 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution. Internally, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 (octa-core) processor is supported by 4GB RAM with storage coming in at 64GB.

A 7,000mAh battery promises up to 11 hours of web browsing or up to 10 hours of 1080p video playback. In terms of cameras, the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab has a rear 5-megapixel shooter with fixed focus; the front houses an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus.

Other traditional specifications include USB Type-C charging, a microSD expansion card slot (up to 256GB), Bluetooth 4.2, and a headphone/mic combo. A pair of 2W JBL speakers offer Dolby Atmos support

What’s so special?

As to what makes the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab more unique, however, is the way it houses the hardware. Flip the device over and you’ll find the design isn’t the same platter you’ve seen time and again over the past decade.

The Yoga Smart Tab has a built-in kickstand that allows for four different ways to use it. Users can hold it, sit it so that you can read at a 45-degree angle, stand it on its side, or even hang it on a wall.

One orientation in particular makes it feel like a completely different product altogether. See, this device has Google Assistant support in it and comes with an ambient mode that essentially turns it into a smart display. Indeed, it’s not unlike how a Nest Hub or Lenovo Smart Display functions. It’s just that here you can pick it up and use it as a full-fledged tablet.

The unique design also gives Lenovo an opportunity to play with the placement of the speakers and audio experience. As such, there are dual JBL HiFi speakers, optimized by Dolby Atmos on the ends of the thick side.

How is the build quality of the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab?

Imagine that you’re reading a magazine and want to hold it with just one hand. What do you do? You fold it over on itself and grip it by the thicker edge, right? That’s more or less what the design calls to mind. It might look awkward at first blush, but once you start to use the hinge/hook, you’ll appreciate it.

To be clear, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Lenovo employ a kickstand/hinge/hook. It’s been used in other tablets in the past, but never with the extra smarts that come with Google Assistant.

We found the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab to be built with care and attention. The moving parts hold strong and don’t show any signs of slipping or weakening. In all other areas it resembles a traditional tablet. The buttons are exactly where you’d expect them to be and are quite responsive, with just the right amount of feedback and travel.

The speakers, while large in appearance, don’t get quite as loud as we’d expect. They’re definitely clear and provide an otherwise even audio experience, but you’ll still defer to a portable speaker if you’re looking to play music for a room. YouTube videos and short clips are great, but full movies might be better enjoyed with a pair of headphones.

One design choice we had a bit of a struggle with was the placement of the USB Type C port. While we’re really glad to see that port included here, it’s the physical placement that bothered us. As it’s located on the side, it makes hanging the Yoga Smart Tab a bit wonky.

How does the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab perform?

More often than not, when we’re not using our tablet, they get powered off and put aside. This device works very well when you’re not actively engaging with it.

Because of its design, and the way it integrates Google Assistant, the Yoga Smart Tab wants to be seen and heard. Much in the way you occasionally glance at your Nest Hub or Smart Display, the Yoga Smart Tab’s ambient mode offers up Photo slideshows and waits for you to task it.

Use the hinge to prop it up on a table or counter and you’ll have a smart speaker and screen that’s ready to leave the house with you. But, getting back to that USB C port…

There may be stretches of days where we don’t need our device to function as a tablet. That’s where hanging it on a wall becomes convenient. It’s like having a digital picture frame in the office or next to the couch.

Plug that power cable in, though, and everything goes off-kilter. The weight of the charging cable makes your digital frame hang crooked. That’s aggravating enough for us to largely avoid that type of usage.

If it’s short bursts, like a few hours at the office, that’s no problem. Come in to work, hang it up, and leave it alone. Or, if you’ve got a place over the kitchen counter, and you want to use it for recipes and walk through videos? Perfect. In our tests the battery was strong enough to consistently deliver 10+ hours of more of typical daytime usage without worry.

You’ll have to jump through a couple of tiny hoops to get the Assistant set up in a way that works best for you. Some of the default settings somewhat contradict other rules. Lenovo could do a better job of walking users through the process, making it a more proactive way of setting up the tablet.

When it comes to hardware prowess, the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab isn’t designed with benchmarks and performance in mind. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 processor and 4GB RAM put it around the lower end of the mid-tier in 2020. With that said, it’s no slouch.

Gaming has never been all that interesting or fun on a tablet. Even with high-end hardware under the hood, tablets aren’t where we game. Casual stuff, and titles that work with occasional tapping, strategy, and turn-by-turn mechanics are fine. Suffice it to say, if there’s a game or app you’re using on a current tablet, the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab will likely work.

Reading books, email, school papers, and browsing long-form websites and writing is how we find ourselves using tablets. Thanks to the physical design of this one, you can hold it for long periods of time without fatigue. Similarly, you can prop it up at the angle you want for viewing Netflix and other videos.

Conclusion

What do you do when you’re not actively using your Android tablet? Nothing, right? The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab lets you place it on a night stand or kitchen counter and let it operate as a smart display. That’s pretty damn cool if you ask us.

Using the hinged kickstand you can also hang the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab on a wall. It’s a perfect opportunity to add another smart display to your home or office. A display that works as a full-on Android tablet, remember.

As a full-on Android tablet it’s more than sufficient for everyday usage. Passive stuff, like reading and watching video requires very little hardware. But feel free to dive into a bit of casual and a more involved gaming as you should be fine here, too.

 

Could you get away with cheaper tablets? Sure, if that’s all you want, go for it. Heck, you can get a Fire HD 10 and likely be content especially if it’s a standard tablet experience you’re after.

The real draw here is the Google Assistant aspect that’s paired nicely with a unique design. You’d likely spend $100 or more for a decent sized smart display, right? Lenovo’s own Smart Display 8″ currently retails for about $90. Here, you get a 10-inch screen that’s not tied to a wall outlet.

Another factor that makes this stand out over Amazon’s offering is the full suite of Google apps and Play Store. There’s just something to be said about having access to anything and everything that Google puts forward.

Is the hardware unique or somewhat of a first-gen approach to something new? Sure. Does it feel like a gimmick or something that others might not embrace? No way. We could very easily imagine somebody else looking to replicate this experience.

The final question is whether it’s all worth the $300 asking price. As there’s no direct competitor in the space, its hard to compare it to what others are doing. But, taken as a whole, and given its intended usage, we have no issues recommending the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab.

Availability

You can purchase the Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab for $300 at Lenovo’s website. Keep an eye open for promos over there as we recently saw it offered for $250 with an included Smart Clock. That’s a hell of a deal.

T-Mobile on Friday announced it is implementing temporary changes to help workers and students who will need to operate from home during the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

For the next 60 days, T-Mobile and Metro is giving all customers unlimited and/or increased data allotments. Additionally, T-Mobile is making international calling free from the US to countries heavily impacted by the virus.

Now, more than ever, as school and workplace closures are happening each day, reliable internet connectivity is crucial. So today we are stepping up to take measures that will ensure that ALL current T-Mobile customers on plans that currently have data are provided the unlimited connectivity they need to learn and work.

Indeed, T-Mobile and Metro subscribers with any data plan will have unlimited smartphone data for the next 60 days. Moreover, the same customers will soon have an extra 20GB of mobile hotspot data to use.

Lifeline program participants on the T-Mobile network get an extra 5GB of data per month during the same period. T-Mobile is also upping the data allowance for schools and students who use the EmpowerED digital learning program.

While T-Mobile stores will remain open, customers who are quarantined, or who wish to avoid going out in public, can take advantage of free two-day shipping for the next 60 days.

YouTube replaces Trending tab in Mobile app with Explore tab

The trending tab in the YouTube Android and the iOS app found in the bottom navigation pane has finally been replaced by a new Explore tab, after almost a year of testing and development. The Explore tab is like an advanced version of the trending page where you can not just see the latest trending videos on YouTube but also browse videos from popular categories like Music, Gaming, News, Fashion and others.

YouTube explore tab

Google has mentioned in the official support page for YouTube that the new change is mainly focussed on giving easy access to YouTube users to the destination pages of their choice. In this way, users would be able to access videos of different categories like Music, News, Learning, Fashion, Movies or Gaming based on their preferences in a timely manner.

This will also help in filtering and categorizing the videos so the users can easily consume the content that is of interest to them while avoiding the ones they do not like. This change also makes sure that independent creators and artists on YouTube would be more prominently displayed to the users by adding tags like creator or artist on the rise tags to their videos and displaying them before the other general trending videos on YouTube.

While the new explore tab is already visible for a lot of Android and iOS users in the YouTube app and it has replaced the trending tab, it will take a while before the change is reflected on the YouTube app of all the smartphones out there. The new update also seems to be a server-side one, so it might not appear on your YouTube app even if you update it to the latest version.

You can find out more information about the new changes and how the trending tab in YouTube works and how YouTube decides what goes in the trending and explore pages in the official YouTube support page over here.

Protecting your phone is key to its longevity. Having the right case on your handset goes a long way to ensuring it sticks around for the long haul.

While there are seemingly endless brands and models of cases to choose from, some are better than others. When it comes to overall protection, you need something that’s rugged or built for spills.

Here’s a roundup of the best rugged cases you can buy for your Android phone. The models we’ve selected should be available for a wide variety of phones and not limited to one handset in particular.

Urban Armor Gear (UAG) Monarch

Designed with peace of mind at its core, this series of case is comprised of five layers of protection and meets MIL-STD standards. That means drops, shock, and daily impacts won’t have won’t bother your phone. Light as a feather, it has reinforced corners and precise cutouts for buttons and ports. It’s available in a variety of colors and backed by a 10-year warranty.

Shop UAG Shop Amazon

Otterbox Defender Series Pro

Likely the first name you think of when it comes to rugged phones cases, this Otterbox line is built to withstand drops and scuffs. Its rough and tumble design has port covers to block dirt, dust, and lint from getting into ports. The case also comes with a holster which clips to a belt and works as a kickstand. Perhaps most importantly, it has Microbial Defense coating to protect against common germs.

Shop Otterbox

NOMAD Rugged Leather

Who says “rugged” has to be bulky or look like it’s from the future? These cases are extra tough and tested against drops up to six feet and can hang with the others on this list. The difference? They’re made with high-grade polycarbonate and wrapped in Horween leather. The longer you own this case, the more unique it looks. That rugged patina is one of a kind in this fashionable yet fortified case.

Speck Presidio Grip

A slim and lightweight case, it’s designed with a raised rubber grip that ensures you don’t go dropping your phone because your hand is sweaty. Heck, even if you do, it’s protected against drops up to 10 feet. A raised bezel on the front keeps your screen nice and safe so feel free to rest the phone on its face. That way people get a glimpse of your techie-looking shell. Offered in three colors, it’s backed by a lifetime warranty.

VENA vArmor

Comprised of two parts (rugged case and a swivel holster), this is a tactile kit that keeps your beloved phone safe and secure. We’re talking in hand and on hip. With military grade protection, you can drop it more than two dozen times from four feet. If you’re a fan of fine details, you’ll no doubt appreciate the precision in the cutouts and the design choices.

Shop VENA Shop Amazon

Itskins Spectrum Clear

Normally, opting for a rugged case means you have to cover up your handset’s beautiful color and design. That’s not the case here as the slim, protective shell lets you see your phone in all its glory. Tested against some 1,300 drops, the case is military grade stuff that’s strong enough for up to 6-feet tumbles. Choose from three colors, each of which is transparent.
