Blitzwolf VR Headset Review: DESIGN

When it comes to the design of any VR headset, the most important thing is comfort when you actually use it. 

The inner side of the headset sports a faux leather finish, which is soft and it didn’t irritate my skin at all. The elastic strap is really durable and it also has some faux leather elements to give you a bit more cushion. 

In short, the Blitzwolf VR headset is comfortable to use. However, I’m not really sure if you want to use any VR headset for more than 40 mins without taking a break. 

As for actual build quality, it is good but don’t expect anything fancy here. The shell is made of plastic but it does not seem to break anytime soon. 

There is a magnetic clasp holding the smartphone tray. You just need to simply open it up, put your phone into the adjustable bracket, and you are good to go. 

It is really important that you adjust the pupil and focal distance using the knobs on the sides and on the top of the headset. Make sure to take your time to adjust it to your eyesight to get the best VR experience.

A front cover can be easily removed, which allows you to charge you phone or if your phone tends to heat up, reduce the heat.

All in all, I’m happy with the design and build quality considering that this headset does not even cost $30. Once we have set everything up, let’s take a look at what we can actually do with the VR headset.

Blitzwolf VR Headset Review: FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY

If you are not familiar with the virtual reality thing, this headset allows you to watch 360 or 3D videos and gives you that immersive effect or the 1st person view. 

Also, you can play a variety of different games, which are designed for VR headsets. Keep in mind  that the Blitzwolf headset does not have any buttons, so you would be able to play only the simplest games. I suggest you buying a Bluetooth remote controller if you want to play more advanced games.

The experience of the VR is great and it is much more different than just watching videos on the computer’s screen or playing regular games. I have to tell you that I really enjoyed using the headset. While I’m not a gamer in general but 360 videos is the thing that I liked most.

Blitzwolf VR Headset Review: CONCLUSIONS

Virtual reality is not something that you can’t live without but it is really cool and the Blitzwolf VR headset is an affordable solution.

It has a decent design and build quality, it is comfortable to wear and it doesn’t cost a fortune.

All in all, I can definitely recommend this headset if you want to start enjoying the virtual reality games or watching videos but don’t want to break your bank.

Philips 4-level Touch Dimming LED Desk Lamp Review – A Really Cool Desk Lamp!

Today we are looking at Philips LED desk lamp with a 4-level dimmer. It costs just above $50. Learn more if it is worth the price in our full review.

Thanks to Gearbest for sending Philips LED desk lamp for a review.

VIDEO

UNBOXING

The lamp comes with the power plug as it does not have embedded battery and some paperwork.

DESIGN and FEATURES

As for design, we are looking at a very high-quality piece of hardware.

It is very sturdy and the lamp uses aluminum and quality plastic in its construction.

One of the selling points of this lamp is that it has a 4-level dimmer which is controlled by a simple tap. If you want to turn the lamp off, simply draw a circle.

The LED light consumes just around 5W of power but it provides up to 350LM of natural white light output, which is more than enough for reading or other stuff.

Another cool thing about this lamp is that it foldable in a lot of different ways and it gives you a lot of flexibility. You  can adjust arm as well as rotate the light part up to 180 degrees.

Also, you can use a screw driver to adjust the tightness of the arm to your liking.

Finally, this Philips LED desk lamp weighs just above 1kg and it is travel-friendly since you can easily fold it.

CONCLUSIONS

I’ve been using Philips LED desk lamp for a few weeks already every single day and it has been working absolutely fine. It is well-made, the aluminum construction adds a bit of a premium look to it and the lamp is very stable.

Well, it would have been nice if it had an embedded battery but I use it on my desk, which is close to the power socket.

The price tag of just above $50 may sound steep for some but this lamp is made by a well-respected manufacturer and its high-quality construction and a feature set is definitely worth the price in our opinion.

iNew U5W Review – A Phone for $65

We continue our segment of very cheap phone and this time around we have iNew U5W. The phone costs just $65. Learn more in our full review.

iNew U5W Review: VIDEO

iNew U5W Review: UNBOXING

The phone ships with all the usual stuff and some extras include a pair of earphones, a soft TPU case and a screen protector.

iNew U5W Review: SPECS, PERFORMANCE, BENCHMARKS

Let’s start by taking a look at what kind of specs-sheet you are getting for such a low price. The iNew U5W ships with a quad-core MTK6580 chip with the clock speeds of 1.3GHz, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable storage.

The gaming performance is actually not bad. Of course, the graphics don’t look spectacular but I didn’t have any lag or major hiccups when I played Asphalt 8 on the lowest graphics.

iNew U5W Review: DESIGN, DISPLAY, FEATURES, BATTERY LIFE

The phone has a decent build quality and it uses plastic in the construction. The phone is compact and sits conformably in the hand.

Speaking of the battery, it performs very well. I could get over 5.5 hours of screen-on time, which is a great result for the phone this cheap.

We have a 5MP camera but you should not expect any stellar results from it as this is a $65 phone after all. You may get some okay looking images usable for social media but most of the shots will not look great.

The loudspeaker is actually pretty good and you simply cannot ask more at this price point.

The 5” display does not even sport an HD resolution. Still, it is pretty good panel for the price of the phone. However, it would have been nice to see at least HD resolution.

HTC 10 review

The One M8 was one of the greatest phones ever made, one that I'll still dust off from time to time now just to get a feel for it once more. It was design perfection, filled with genuine innovation and offered a great identity too, standing out well from the Android crowd.

• Buy HTC 10 (32GB) at Amazon for $635.77

The trouble was, that phone was already building on the great HTC One, which started the 'amazing design' trajectory in flagship smartphones that HTC is now famed for. So where did HTC go next? What was the next big innovation, the next great thing that this underdog in the smartphone world was going to bring?

Well, it didn't happen on the One M9, that's for sure. The brand panicked, stuffed the best components into an all-too-familiar shell and hoped the big numbers would make it a success. It wasn't.

This time around, things were going to be different. For the all-new HTC 10 I was told that the brand took things back to basics, made the changes it needed to and focused heavily on making the phone useable and a pleasure to mess around with as before.

But does the HTC 10 impress? Is this the return to true innovation from a company that used to be unafraid to take risks, a reboot back to the winning ways?

Before we get into that, let's take a look at what the phone looks like on paper. It's got an all-metal body, thankfully doesn't go down the same iPhone-a-like design as the One A9 from 2015, and doesn't just stuff in tech for the sake of having a higher spec.

If you're lucky enough to live in the UK, get in there early and apply discount code 'HTC10' to get 10% off, giving you a price of £512.99.

It's got the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, loads of RAM, a much more refined camera and – with contract pricing starting at around £38/US$23/AU$75 per month – it's going to be competitively positioned, coming in similar to or in some cases a shade below the Samsung and Apple prices. So, that sounds all great, right?

Key features

One of the most irksome features of the HTC One M9 was…well, there weren't really any features to talk about. The same BoomSound speakers were back, firing audio forwards into your face, and the camera was just a 20MP effort that took some okay pictures; not terrible, but nothing you'd tell your friends about down the local watering hole.

In fact, it was just the design that made it worth checking out at all, that combined with HTC's special sauce.

This year, thankfully, there's a lot more to talk about, starting with the efforts made to improve how the phone feels to use. It's got a much lower latency compared to the earlier models, which means the response under the finger is a lot more impressive.

In fact, the constant chat in our briefing about the phone was about 'tuning', that HTC had gone further than any other brand in making the HTC 10 a phone that will impress the second you glide a finger across the screen.

Let's drop out for a second and talk about the name: it's not the HTC One M10, but simply the HTC 10. Apparently, this represents the best ever, the top of the pile, the maximum score you can get in gymnastics.

To me, that sounds like this is HTC's last ever phone. But you can bet there'll be some 'turn it up to 11' tag lines next year when the HTC 11 pops up.

Anyway, back to the 10. The screen is also upgraded from the previous model, using Super LCD 5 and boosting the pixel count to QHD resolution, offering 564 pixels per inch, to push up the sharpness significantly.

The camera is dropped in terms of the megapixel count, down to 12MP with a 4:3 resolution (sound at all similar to any other top-end phones on the market?). HTC tells me this is something actually requested by photographers, and given it's put such a big effort into making the camera as good as it could be, it's believable that HTC would listen to them.

The 10 has also been given the best DxO Mark on the market of 88, which HTC says means it's claimed the crown of 'best camera in a smartphone'. It doesn't at all – that title was previously held by Sony and the Xperia Z5, and there's no way those were the best cameras on the market by any stretch of the imagination.

The camera, which supposedly has blink-and-you'll-miss-it autofocus thanks to the second-generation laser autofocus on offer, also comes with 4K video recording combined with 24-bit sound, so you'll get professional-grade videos when you're out at a gig and completely missing the chance to enjoy the artist you paid so much to see.

Talking of the audio, that's the other area HTC's been putting a big effort into. The two front-facing speakers, which looked so iconic on the front of the recent One range, are gone, with two speakers now firing out the high end and bass tones separately.

They also point in different directions, but despite having separate amplifiers they work in concert to, it's claimed, give amazing sound without headphones (spoiler alert: they don't).

The headphone element is important though, as HTC has taken the bold step of not only making the HTC 10 Hi-Res Audio Certified, but has also bundled in some high-end headphones with the handset, so everyone has access to the improved tones.

These aren't cheap to make, so it's good to see HTC taking a hit on its margins to give something back to its users. You seeing this, Tim?

And a special word for the interface, which HTC is bragging quite heavily about – and it's anything but heavy. The brand has worked with Google to 'reboot Android' and make something cleaner, more easy to use and upgrade, ridding the phone of pointless duplicated apps in the process.

The aim is for the project to eventually find something that all brands will use, leading to an end of the skins that sit atop LG, Samsung and Sony phones despite them all using the same base software. Will that happen? Would it be a good thing for HTC? Who knows – but it's good that someone's trying.
