The Fugoo Go is a portable Bluetooth speaker that is designed to go just about anywhere you might. Thanks to its IP67 rating, the unit can withstand being in three feet of water for up 30 minutes. Moreover, it will also stand up against dust, sand, mud, and pretty much anything else that might be considered messy.
When laid on its back, the Fugoo Go projects sound in an almost 360-degree manner. The unique design, however, lets you prop it up at an angle or stand it on its “side”. Not only that, but the attached bungee mounting cord lets you hang it from hooks or secure it to a pole, bike handlebars, or backpack.
One of the cooler features of the Fugoo Go is its ability to pair to another unit for true stereo sound. Conversely, it can also simply double the existing playback, giving equal sound to both. The former works great in an environment where you plan to listen to music with interesting audio mixing and engineering; the latter suffices for podcasts, audiobooks, and other less ambitious sources.
We found that the speaker puts out a decent volume on its own but it does lack an overall punch. The range itself was fairly broad but it was lighter in the bass. This may or may not affect you; it depends on what you’ll listen to.
When paired together in stereo, the Fugoo Go produces an excellent experience. The sound travels to and from speakers, dances between, and stays in place. There’s a very discernible left and right sound in music like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, or Ferry Corsten. And, like you’ll find with a good pair of headphones, it’s nice when the sounds can do what they’re produced and expected to do.
The Fugoo Go is a very solid little speaker and looks strong enough to take a beating. According to its website, the unit can withstand a drop from around five feet. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like dropping or submerging any electronics unless I have to. With that said, we did hang one in the shower and set it on the front porch during a recent snow. As you’d suspect, it still works just fine.
Volume controls are synchronized to your phone, meaning that when it’s at full volume on the handset, that’s where you are on the speaker. Some brands will let you continue to push volume louder with an indicator sound; these did not.
Pairing is very easy to do with the Fugoo Go and it’s automatically seeking upon powering on. Should you wish to connect two together, a simple press of the Bluetooth button and ‘+’ button starts the process. Do this on both speakers and you’re ready to go inside of ten seconds. Also a cool feature is that when you turn off one speaker, the other responds in kind.
We liked the feedback in the buttons for power and Bluetooth and the dimples are easy to find when fumbling blindly. The volume levels and play/pause are on the face of the speaker and are very obvious. Additionally, there’s no mistaking which one is which when feeling for them without looking.
According to Fugoo, the Go will get you around 10 hours of continuous playback at fifty percent volume levels. We never got into a situation to test the continuous aspect, but, suffice it to say, the speakers last a long time. We charged them up roughly three times in the span of more than two weeks. Charging is done via microUSB cable and takes around five hours if the speaker is at zero.
Were it warmer weather out we would have loved to set these near the pool or on the deck. The Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity tells us we should get up to 100 feet/30+ yards distance from the phone. In placing them around the house, and in different rooms, we were pleased with results. If you’re having a casual night of entertaining friends, you can probably set these at around 20 percent volume and put them in different rooms for a nice background soundtrack.
The Fugoo Go runs about $100 and comes with a one year warranty. Additionally, Fugoo offers a 30-day money back guarantee if you purchase from them. Looking at Amazon at the time of this article’s publication, we found it to retail for $78. Worth the money? At $100, it’s a good buy but not quite a must-have. If you can get your hands on one, or two, for less than $80, you’ll be in great shape.
While the Lenovo Smart Assistant is yet to make it into retail and the LG alternative is probably still in development, the battle for supremacy the intelligent speaker ecosystem is currently unfolding between the Amazon Echo and Google Home – the two arch rivals.
For instance, the Google should open it up to more developers. Back in December 2016, the search giant announced it was ready to let developers create “conversation actions” – little bots that users will interact with while using the Google Home. But the company was mum about fully opening up the platforms (Home and the Google Assistant) to third-party developers.
However, there’s a workaround to this situation – it’s called the

Let’s get the internals out of the way. The Lenovo Yoga Book is powered by a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Atom processor. Atom processors aren’t great for tasks like RAW photo editing, video editing, or intense gaming but generally do a good job with web browsing, word processing, and media consumption and that shows in the Yoga Book. I had no stutters or slowdowns while using YouTube and browsing Reddit or Facebook using apps or in Chrome with several tabs open.
If you’re into taking pictures and for some reason you want to torture yourself, there is an 8MP camera on the rear device (in tablet mode) that will give you passable pictures to post on social media, but you’ll have to be seen taking pictures with a tablet, so that’s on you. The front of the device features a 2MP camera for video conferencing and selfies (I guess) that will get the job done.
Typing on this thing is really interesting. I wouldn’t necessarily call it bad by any means. The experience sits somewhere between using a crappy third-party iPad Bluetooth keyboard and peck-typing on your phone. I find it really nice to have a full-sized keyboard but since you cannot feel the keys, you obviously need to keep your eyes trained on the virtual keyboard as you type. I thought I would type up this review on the Yoga Book and I quickly decided that was a terrible idea.
This is a Wacom tablet and as such lets you use a stylus to either take notes or draw. Pressing a little button at the top of the keyboard quickly transitions it into stylus mode for the included stylus. The stylus is pretty big and bulky but does a great job with the Yoga Book. There is hardly any if any at all, lag or accuracy issues to be noticed here. There are also a ton of apps on the Play Store that will let you take advantage of the stylus, but Lenovo included a few for good measure.
The stylus has replaceable tips and can function not only as a stylus, but also an ink pen. Removing the stylus tip with the cap and inserting one of the three ink pen tips turns the stylus into a regular pen in under ten seconds. You can use this pen with the included pad of paper on top of the Wacom tablet to transfer whatever writing from the paper onto the Yoga Book. This is excellent for students or business professionals that prefer to take notes by hand but also need digital versions. That is a limited audience but I believe that audience will absolutely fall in love with this feature. It works flawlessly and reliably.
Both sides of the device have speaker grills, but if you’re using these you’ll be disappointed in all but the most quiet situations. YouTuber Dave2D reported that his pre-production model

The software here is going to be what you make of it. Samsung is the biggest Android tablet producer right now and it focuses on proving a software experience to match the hardware it’s selling you. This can be a blessing and a curse as it loads down the device with a lot of apps you can’t delete even if you don’t want them, but also puts a lot of functionality at your fingertips right out of the box. Lenovo, on the other hand, adds a few apps for you to use, but is relying on you to go into the Play Store to find more and make the most out of the Yoga Book.
I feel like Lenovo is attacking the segment of iPad customers that buy iPads because there are no other alternatives on the market. The Android version of the Yoga Book comes in at the same base $500 price that the iPad does and much cheaper than the iPad Pro, but offers far more functionality out of the box than both. The software experience is more polished on the iPad, but the Lenovo Yoga Book has that cool factor that makes me want to take it everywhere I go.
As for the more premium model, the LG Watch sport should make a debut into the wild with a 430mAh battery, NFC (so 
And now the company just rolled out its second, next-gen soap-proof Rafre handset. Now, why would you want to wash your smartphone with soap and water? Well according to studies like the one conducted by British watchdog 
Well sadly the device is equipped with really uninspired specifications. The Rafre sports a 5-inch display with 720p resolution. The device is powered by an unnamed processor in combination with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internals storage (microSD cardslot available for memory expansion up to 200GB).
The listing sheds some light on what we can expect the Moto G5 Play to bring forth. Apart from the 5-inch display, the phone will take advantage of 1080p resolution and a Snapdragon 430 CPU. Motorola will also throw in 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (expandable) and an 13MP/5MP camera combo plus a 2,800 mAh battery. The phone should come with Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed and LTE.
