Review- Soundpeats Truengine 2

SoundPEATS is one of the leading makers of the headphones. If you observe the Amazon marketplace, you can see that the company is dominating the Australian market of wireless headphones. The company occupies the top 3 spots in the Amazon market. Moreover, it has made some space in the Canadian and US markets as well. The previous products also have made some good impact on various marketplaces and the consumers are looking for more such products.

What Is In The Box?

The box is a cute little case. You can reveal the earphones by opening it. The case is not that secured as far as safety is concerned. If you open the case in the wrong way, there are chances of the earphones to fall down. It contains a short USB cable for charging which you can plug into the case directly. It also contains a set of extra earbuds, a user manual, and customer care booklets.

Are They Useful In A Helmet?

The earphones are not designed for motorcycle helmets. The outer part of the earphone is a bit larger which won’t be comfortable if you wear them under helmets. Other wireless earphones which are smaller in size can be useful in this case.

You can still wear them under a helmet if you are comfortable. But make sure to be cautious when you take your helmet off. As in such a case, you may drop the earphones down and it can even lead to damage to the earbuds. For someone, who is not that careful when it comes to taking care of small stuff, this can be a disadvantage.

Another issue is that you cannot use the Google assistant feature while your helmet is on. The sound does not reach to the earphones while riding. Therefore, they are not a great option for wearing under a helmet.

About Their Look, Feel And Weight

To be honest the SoundPEATS Truengine 2s reminds me of the old Bluetooth earphones. But, these earphones do not feel heavy or bulky in the ears and fits perfectly in the ears. There are flashy indicator lights on the sides.

The lights provide you with battery indication and the current status of the earphones. The already-fitted medium size was perfect for my ears, and the provided smaller and larger sizes worked well for friends I tried them out on. I wear these earbuds while running and cycling. Not even for once did the earbuds feel like they are falling out, despite wearing them during cycling and running.

The SoundPEATS Truengine 2 is noticeable in my ears, and not even heavy. They Weigh 6.1g and are the lightest wireless earphones I have ever bought.

Are They Comfortable?

After all the running and jumping during my workouts, the earphones still stick to my ears without falling even once. They are quite comfortable in use and if you feel they are not fitting in your ears, you can change the ear tips as per your comfort.

You can wear them even when you are climbing or trekking and will not experience any difficulties. The tight-fitting of the earphones give you a nice experience of zero noise disturbances. Its noise cancellation capacity is really awesome. It gives a nice audio quality and you can even listen when someone’s talking to you.

The problem with the earphones is that it does not increase or decrease the volume quickly. The changes in the volumes are delayed which results in a small disappointment. But, SoundPEATS claims that their clear voice capture allows the earphones to deliver clear calls even in noisy surroundings. This feature adds a point to its advantages.

Its Battery Life

The SoundPEATS Truengine 2 gives you a battery life of up to 7 hours continuously. This is impressive because the apple AirPods and Bose Soundsport offer a battery life of 5 hours.

SoundPEATS case holds a battery backup of 30 hours which is very impressive as compared to other brands. Once you charge it, you don’t have to charge it for a week at least. This is something you won’t see in any other brand within this price range. Therefore, its battery life and backup are awesome.

Controls And Extra Features

You can easily control the SoundPEATS Truengine 2 by touching the face of the earbuds. There are a few commands it takes like skipping songs, taking calls, call to a voice assistant, etc. But, there is no option to control volume which makes it a drawback. So whenever you are running or cycling, you have to keep your phone handy to control the volumes.

The touch sensors are not that good because you have to press the right spot of the earphones. Only the bottom half of the earphone is touch-sensitive. So, you have to look for the perfect spot to press and use the features. You cannot use the touch sensors in the first attempt every time.

Conclusion

If you are looking for wireless earphones that won’t fall off your ears, then you can opt for these. The SoundPEATSTruEngine 2 gives a nice grip to your ears even when you are running, working out or cycling. The earphones deliver fantastic sound quality with utmost comfort at the same time.

There may be some occasional faults that you may experience like an audio drop, synching problems, etc. But, one thing is for sure that the earphones are not a disappointment for its users. These faults are not that major, but the quality and comfort it offers is something really awesome in this price range.

The biggest issue you will face is with the touch controls. They are quite annoying at times as you can’t operate them in a single go. This is one issue that adds a point in its demerits.

Lastly, the conclusion is that it is worth the price for users who love comfortable earphones. Its comfortable fitting and audio quality is something that is worth its price. You just cannot find any other brand more comfortable than the SoundPEATS TruEngine 2.

Android Pie finally descends for the Sprint LG G7 ThinQ

About Lg

LG is one of the fastest-growing android smartphone companies. It steps in the market in 1958 in Seoul. LG launched the 1st Android smartphone in the year 2009, and the 1st Android tablet in 2011. The company is popular for G series smartphones. G series is their flagship model. It is also famous for its wide range of products including smart TVs.

Mobile phones are not just gadgets but they are the basic needs of individuals and the world. Android is the most widely used operating system designed solely for mobile devices. It is a modified version of Linux Kernel. In the fast and ever-changing technology, there’s always a need to keep pace with the rest of the world. Hence, Google is very punctual in releasing its latest version from time to time.

Pie Update

The demand for the latest Android version is increasing at a very high pace. But unfortunately, LG is not satisfying its users at the same pace. This is now becoming a concern for the higher authorities of LG.

LG launches the Sprint model LG G7 ThinQ model in the last months of 2018 with OS Android v8.1 Oreo. And it is getting a Pie update now!! The users of this device were using the same Android 8 Oreo for nearly 2 years now!

Android 10 is going to complete its six months as it officially launches back in September 2019. Many devices from other manufacturing companies have already received an update for Android 10.

LG update policy for OS is not up to the mark and it’s even more irritating to see this much delay in receiving its FIRST UPDATE. Sprint V40 ThinQ and sprint got it’s Pie update six months after another handset. And LG followed the suit this time too, with Sprint G7 ThinQ.

Although, the update has a size of 1400MB and pleases users because of its smoothness and battery efficiency. This is one of the best-selling features for the company. Before the update pushes itself to the phones, they have to modify the update so that it incorporates its own fixes. This occupies the automatic commands which run and fix these bugs.

Lg And Its Competitors In Market

LG proclaims its image as slowest when it comes to updates. It is facing this problem for quite some time. Approximately, five months after the launch of Android 10, LG created its roadmap for updates.

A while ago, LG’s compatriot Samsung was receiving the same delay criticism. But Samsung quickly changed the scenario and got back in the race. It has already released the Android 10 update to over ten smartphone models and has several more lined up for the next few months.

Bottom Line

While LG released the update for only one device so far. Its Android 10 plans are not reliable either. By the time it starts giving updates to its devices, Android 11 would be a few months old. At this pace, LG will find it difficult to compete with others in the market.

10 canceled game consoles you will never get to play

Video game enthusiasts form a considerable part of the gaming industry. Numerous game consoles launch throughout the year. The gaming industry is continually making and coming up with new video games to satisfy its ever-growing customer base.

While various games develop now and then, there are several which cancels due to specific reasons. People would never come to know about these gaming console companies as they got canceled during some part of their development. The reasons might range from lack of financial aids to the predictions of their poor performance.

It is always fun to know about the ideas and history behind these canceled game consoles. Here is the list of some of the best consoles that canceled.

Atari Game Brain

Atari was one of the biggest names of the gaming industry back in the day. The company had several successful launches. But, there was one launch that never got to hit the markets, the Atari Brain Game.

This game was about to launch in the 1970s which would contain a combination of ten different Atari games. These games were already available on several dedicated platforms and players. These games conspicuously included Pong and Video Pinball. Although the real game never made it to the customers, it has about three prototypes still present in the world.

Nintendo Playstation

When we talk about game consoles, Nintendo is one of the most famous names. Nintendo had attempted to change from the cartridge type consoles to the disc type consoles. It has announced Super NES CD- ROM in 1991.

Nintendo was planning to launch it as an add-on to SNES and was working in collaboration with Sony for the same. This project, however, never came to the markets and Sony came up with its disc-based console. Sony launched its most famous PlayStation during this time.

Intellivision Iii

The first Intellivision launched in 1979, and it gave fierce competition to the highly coveted Atari 2600. Atari was one of the most successful video game consoles during that time. After a few years, Intellivision II came into the market, which was just a smaller and inexpensive version of the previous one.

The Intellivision III was to launch after the announcement in 1982. It was a real upgrade with better graphics, control and other high tech features. Unfortunately, the development procedure of this console stopped in 1983 with a decline in the video game market and led the company to stop its production process.

Atari Cosmos

Atari was it the heights of its popularity when they announced the Atari cosmos in the year 1978. The game console was handheld and uses holography to accentuate the game playing experience.

The gameplay had nine compatible games which included asteroids and space invaders. Atari Cosmos console canceled in 1981 due to some speculated failure predictions. Today, you will find it rare as it has become a very collectible item.

Ultravision Video Arcade System

The Ultravision video arcade system, initially perceived with a very futuristic vision, set out to combine a gaming console, a personal computer, and a television into one device. Announced in 1983 and could be a game-changer. The system had a 10 ” TV, and the users could plug in a keyboard or a joystick as per their wish. It had cartridge type games.

After the announcement, the production of the game did not happen.

Taito Wowow

Taito is a famous digital gaming company that is still producing games today. They also had some console games at the beginning of the 1970s.

In 1992, Tatio had come with a revolutionary idea in the world of gaming consoles. They presented their WoWoW at the Tokyo Toy Show. This game had the concept in which people could directly access any game with the help of the satellite, and the charges will occur according to the time spent playing the game.

But there were so many technological shortages in the 90s. The company had to abandon the idea ultimately, and so we never get to play the Taito WoWoW.

Action Gamemaster

The Action Gamemaster presented in the Consumer Electronic Show in 1994, promised to offer the games from a variety of different consoles.

Action Gamemaster was a product by Active Enterprises, the company that is also famous for making the cartridge for NES and the super rare Action 52.

Action Gamemaster console, however, never came in the market and was a cause or significant disappointment for the SNES game lovers who were eager to try their hands on this.

Sega Pluto

Sega Pluto is another console game that never to the markets. The major cause of this was its poor promotion and hence, no one knew much about it. It was supposedly a variant of Sega Saturn. Not much information is there about this particular device, but it was a Saturn console with a built-in modem.

A sega employee released the information, and it was in development, but never make it to the markets.

Infinium Labs’ Phantom

In 2004, Infinium Labs decided to try their luck in the console making and to release their device, PHANTOM. Phantom worked on the idea that players did not have to buy discs for games and could stream and play their games online.

There was no significant marketing of the device, and after the announcement of the price and other specifications, the project got canceled ultimately.

Konix Multisystem

The Konix Multisystem came into consideration back in 1988. It was more of a cool gaming accessory than just a console. It had chair, controls, joysticks and was a full package that a gamer needs to have excellent gaming experience.

The company wanted it to be a full-fledged gaming experience, and the company wanted it to be much more than a mere controller. There was a huge time delay in the game launch and unfortunately, after some time, it leads to the entire project cancelation.

Conclusion

The gaming market is enormous, and the developers are continually coming up with new launches. Many might not make it to the customers, but the concept behind those are always inspiring for future launches.

VIVO IQOO Review: All Information Here
VIVO company is back with another phone with better features and most importantly it has brought an affordable gaming smartphone i.e IQOO. IQOO by Vivo is the 3rd smartphone to enter the market after the NEX Dual and NEX Ultimate.

If gaming isn’t your first priority but other features are, even then Vivo IQOO does not disappoints users. Because with its excellent gaming features it offers better performance and has a higher storage system.

Let’s see, what is in this smartphone that fascinates everybody. Take a look at the detailed features of Vivo IQOO as present below. If you are planning on buying this model, go through the features and then make a rightful decision.

    Vivo IQOO has 4000 mAh battery with Flash Charging
    
    VoLET/4G/3G connectivity
    
    On-screen Fingerprint Sensor
    
    Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Octa-core Processor
    
    Expandable storage to 256 GB.
    
    Digital Zoom, Auto Flash, Face detection, Touch to focus

    13 MP f/2.4, Wide Angle (Ultrawide zoom) camera
    2 MP f/2.4, a depth camera and LED flash
    
    GPU Adreno 640
Design & Case

When we talk about the case, just like other modern smartphones in the market, IQOO comes with a blend of metal and glass for its outer frame.

Vivo has adorned the company’s branding with attractive colors with a blooming finish on the back glass. The LED strip at the center adds a nice touch to the back. Vivo IQOO comes in three brilliant color variants: Plain black, Optic Blue and Crimson Orange.

IQOO looks hefty though, but not like ordinary gaming smartphones that look very bulky. The Vivo IQOO weighs 190g which is slim enough to be a gaming phone. The metal, shining -smooth surface makes this phone even more attractive than any other gaming smartphone such as Xiaomi Black Shark.

Software & Hardware Installation

The Vivo IQOO also has amazing FunTouch OS, a customized version of Android 9.0 Pie. FunTouch OS works wonderfully with Android 9.0 pie but needs some time to acclimatize with the internal condition.

The FunTouch Operating system includes numerous language options, but the translations for the languages are often limited or sometimes non-existing. Moreover, Vivo IQOO is pre-installed with various apps, as per the Chinese market standards.

The Vivo IQOO model offers a range of storage and RAM which varies from model to model. The phone has the fastest Snapdragon 855 processor along with 128GB ROM and 6GB of RAM pre-installed by default. Vivo IQOO also allows storage upgradation to 8GB or 12GB of RAM as per user’s choice. Vital games need a huge amount of storage space, and for that upgradation becomes necessary.

Just if you didn’t know, there’s also a variant of Vivo IQOO available in 256GB storage with in-built 8GB of RAM.

If you frequently download a lot of games, you’ll definitely want to switch for a 256GB storage option in the forthcoming future. Also, there is no microSD slot for external storage, thus, we suggest you go for a 256GB storage option in the first place, so you don’t have to pay more on upgradation.

Communication, Navigation, and Connectivity

The Vivo IQOO supports GSM, 3G/4G and LTE networks, which of course is expected from any new technology smartphones. The phone uses Cat. 12 for the latter, which considerably gives up to 600 Mb/s download and 100 Mb/s upload internet speed.

Along with this, the IQOO supports Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and almost all Wi-Fi standards to date i.e IEEE 802.11ac. Better surfing speed in a mid-range budget-friendly smartphone is truly amazing.

The new Vivo IQOO uses Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and GPS for navigation and location services which are enough to track your location in any range. Sometimes the range is not accurate, but that totally depends on your actual location.

The Vivo IQOO allows LTE on both SIM slots. It does not support voice over LTE VoLTE or VoWiFi. Making it difficult to connect easily.

The Vivo IQOO has a powerful USB 2.0 Type-C port for charging along with a 3.5 mm jack which keeps the smartphone apart from most modern flagships. Unfortunately, streaming DRM-protected content is not present because IQOO is certified only up to DRM Widevine L3.

Camera

The Vivo IQOO is majorly for mobile gamers but could have been better with the camera performance. The camera at the back features a triple rear-facing camera embedded with a 12mp real lens with an f/1.8 aperture, a second 13mp ultrawide lens with a narrowing capacity of f/2.4 aperture, and a 2mp depth-sensing lens with f/2.4 aperture.

During daylight, the lens captures best shots, but a little disappointed with low-light or nightlight mode due to overexposed, blurred or unclear capturing effect.

Battery & Performance

Vivo IQOO has a 4400mAh battery with a processor Snapdragon 855 SoC, which is presently Qualcomm’s flagship chipset. The battery and phone performance is efficient for any gaming and surfing purpose. The Turbocharger quickly power-ups the phone in just 1-hour which lasts all day lone.

PROS
- - Excellent gaming performance
    
    Easy storage upgradation
    
    Attractive display
    
    Flash charging
    
    Excellent daylight capturing capacity
    
    The Vivo IQOO has the best FunTouch OS and has an upgraded version of Android 9.0 pie
CONS
- - Underwhelming cameras+ Lowlight blurring
    
    Battery life could be better
    
    Does not give access to DRM-protected content
    
    Fingerprint sensor troubles sometimes
Conclusion

If you are seeking for a more affordable smartphone with serious gaming features, then, Vivo IQOO is clearly a better choice. This gaming smartphone provides better and all top-notch features such as the software that enables you to play without any interruption. If you can sacrifice a camera over gaming, then Vivo IQ00 is definitely a better choice to consider.

Ban On TikTok Inside The Golden Temple

TikTok is a household name these days. Every second person makes funny and musical videos on TikTok. TikTok is a Chinese application that enables video-making and sharing with music. It specializes in videos made with lip-syncing, music and dance. In the past few years, TikTok has become very famous in India. Almost everyone loves making videos on TikTok. It is available both on iOS and Android for free.

As much as it is popular for its fun, it also garners a lot of criticism. People are indulging in TikTok videos to such an extent that they forget the right place and the right time to make such videos. People say that the TikTok videos are more cringy than funny. There’s nothing wrong with the app, but it’s the users who are not using it appropriately. A similar case happened with the Golden Temple.

Ban on TikTok

A few days ago, three girls put a dance video on TikTok whose shoot was in Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden temple). Several people had an objection to the video. As a result, SGPC interference in the matter took place. SGPC ( Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee) put a ban on TikTok, videos, and selfies inside the Golden Temple. They put up a notice asking people not to make TikTok videos and take selfies in The Golden Temple.

The notice also says that there is a complete prohibition on TikTok in the temple. SGPC Management has also put up volunteers in the Temple to prohibit people from taking selfies and making TikTok videos. They appeal to people to refrain from any such activities in the temple.

Also, the management says that if people do not stop making these videos inside the temple, they will have to ban the usage of mobile phones. The action is very strict and everyone has to follow it willingly or not.

Why SGPC put a ban on TikTok?

SGPC (Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee) says that they want people to come to the temple and worship there instead of making videos. They say that they want people to visit without any kind of hassle. According to them, they are not in favor of such bans, but due to the recent events on TikTok, they have to do it.

The video by the three girls was a music video. A Punjabi song was playing on in the background and they were dancing on it. It went viral, due to which SGPC’s interference took place.
