Bluetti 2022 Easter Bundle will help you leave off the grid in the years to come

Bluetti 2022 Easter Bundle will help you leave off the grid in the years to come

Escaping the city is easy when you have a clean, green, and quiet power you can rely on to continue living the modern lifestyle.

Charging and power banks have become almost a must-have for digital nomads, but these small energy boxes can only take you so far. While camping (or glamping) or during emergencies and power outages, you will need a lot more power to drive small appliances or even just charge your faithful MacBook. Bluetti offers a wide range of power station options that are large enough to power your home in an emergency. Admittedly, these huge boxes aren’t something you’ll want to buy on a whim, but the company’s latest seasonal promos knock down those prices, so you’ll have fewer excuses not to prepare for a rainy or dark day.

Designer: Bluetti

AC300+B300 Combo – Expandable Power Center

The Bluetti AC300 and its B300 battery module partner are the company’s current champions, offering power and flexibility in the combination you want or need. The AC300 is a 3000W Pure Sine AC inverter that allows you to power even the most demanding appliances. It doesn’t come with its own battery, though, but you can connect up to four of these 3,027 Wh B300 modules. You can even connect two such combinations for a whopping 24,576Wh or 6000W 24V of power to run the whole house. And thanks to its modular nature, you decide just how many modules you want to connect, making it easier to move them around the house or outdoors as needed.

AC200MAX – Versatile Power Monster

The Bluetti AC200 MAX walks the middle ground by containing its own 2,048Wh battery. It’s larger than the AC300 because of that, but it also means you can use it standalone. You can, however, also connect up to two B230 or B300 battery modules when you need more power. Just like its more flexible sibling, the AC200 MAX can power multiple devices or appliances at the same time, thanks to its 16 outputs ranging from AC outlets to USB-C ports.

EP500 – Unparalleled Power Backup

If portability isn’t too much of a concern, the Bluetti EP500 promises to be the only home emergency power backup you’ll ever need, especially with its large 5,100Wh capacity. As big as a suitcase, and thankfully also with wheels, this movable power station can be connected to our house’s main grid so it can kick in the moment power goes down. Bluetti’s Fusion Box lets you connect two of these together for the ultimate home power supply.

EB55 & EB70 – Pack Lighter, Travel Further

In contrast, the EB55 and EB70 go the opposite extreme and come in Bluetti’s most portable sizes. Providing 537Wh and 716Wh of power, respectively, these lighter batteries offer enough juice for a quick, relaxing trip outdoors. Like all of Bluetti’s power stations, these can be charged with solar energy, so you won’t have to worry about the power station itself running out in the middle of nowhere. In fact, Bluetti is also putting its new PV350 Solar Panel on a discount, guaranteeing 350W of power on a sunny day, and won’t break a sweat on cloudy ones.

Bluetti offers big discounts on these products. This includes the AC[********************************************************************************************************************************************] and two B[**********************************************************************************************************************************************************) (a $[******************************************************************************************************************************************** ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* to purchase of a single [************************************************************************************************************************************************* The AC300 and two B300 batteries, for example, will go for only $5,399 ($400 off a regular $5,799), while a single B300 battery module will cost only $1,899 after a $100 discount. The PV200 Solar Panel is normally $499 but is $70 off at $429 during that promo period. Bluetti products allow you to get power that you require without having to rely on the grid. However, the price is $500 during the promotional period.

Our iPhone SE (2022) video review is now live

The iPhone SE (2022), is the newest and most affordable iPhone. This iPhone seems to have a lot of interest despite low sales figures. We’re assuming that’s because it’s the most affordable way to get into the iOS ecosystem if you don’t want to buy refurbished or used devices. But the iPhone SE (2022) also looks old and dated, even though it has the highest performing mobile SoC available.

nubia’s Red Magic 7 Pro “gaming beast” launches globally on April 12

nubia sent us an invite to its next launch event, which is taking place on April 12 at 7 AM EST. As you can see below, it’s going to be all about “the next level gaming beast”, so clearly we’re talking about a device that’s part of the Red Magic stable. But what could it be?

nubia's Red Magic 7 Pro ''gaming beast'' launches globally on April 12

We’re assuming that the event on April 12 is all about the nubia Red Magic 7 Pro going global, following in the footsteps of its non-Pro sibling, which did the same a couple of months ago.

To recap, the Red Magic 7 Pro comes with a 6. 8-inch 1080×2400 120 Hz AMOLED screen, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, 8/12/16GB of RAM, 128GB/256GB/512GB/1TB of storage, a triple rear camera setup (64 MP main, 8 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro), a 16 MP under-display selfie camera, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 135W fast charging that should get you from empty to full in an incredible 15 minutes.

The phone has a built-in cooling fan for those prolonged gaming sessions, as well as pressure-sensitive zones with 500 Hz touch sensing.

Technics launches a 50th-anniversary edition of their legendary SL-1200 turntable

Technics launches a 50th-anniversary edition of their legendary SL-1200 turntable

Technics launches a 50th-anniversary edition of their iconic SL-1200 turntable, available in seven colors.

Known around the world as the best turntable you can get for under a grand, the Technics SL-1200 is a series of direct-drive turntables. While many professional DJs consider the Technics SL-1200 to be their go-to turntable, the technical build of this line of turntables appeals to audiophiles too, who only use the turntable for at-home listening. The series of turntables offer exceptional sound quality as a result of precise motors and absorbent isolation, today Technics releases its 50th-anniversary model.

Designer: Technics


Operating the whole show, the SL-1200 turntable’s main feature is its direct-drive motor, which offers dynamic accuracy when playing records. Since its introduction in the 1970s, the sound quality and accuracy have “further evolved with the SL-1200/1210MK7, and achieved even higher sound quality as the Coreless Direct Drive Motor.” The tonearm is also specific to Technics equipment, the SL-1200 features an S-shaped tonearm, which is unique to Technics audio gear. The S-shaped tonearm produces music in high quality without any stylus skipping by moving along its own arc.


In addition to the SL-1200 turntable’s unique tonearm and direct-drive motor, each insulator foot on the 50th-anniversary edition consists of an internal spring and rubber cushion material to shut out any reverberating vibrations. Integrated pitch controls also help set the Technics SL-1200 apart from other turntables. As the designers note, “Pitch control on the SL-1200 was originally utilized for the precise adjustment of rotation speed. This function was used by club DJs to adjust the pitch of two tracks in order to create a seamless transition. This technique led to the explosive popularity of the SL-1200 worldwide.”

While the designers at Technics haven’t changed the new model too much when compared to the first model, there was never a need-the SL-1200 has always been about the “pursuit for pure audio performance.” Technics goes on to explain, “The vibration-absorbing cabinet and insulators suppress undesirable noise, while the gimbal suspension tonearm provides high tracking performance for high-fidelity sound reproduction.”

Amazfit unveils new, cheaper version of the GTS 2 Mini with the same features

Amazfit unveils new, cheaper version of the GTS 2 Mini with the same features

Over a year ago the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini launched in India at Rs7,000 and proved to be one of the more popular smartwatches from the company. Now it has come out with a new version, which knocks the price down to Rs6,000, which will go on sale on the official store and Amazon.in on April 11 (Monday). Note that there will be a special launch discount of Rs1,000 only on the 11th.

The company simply calls the watch “Amazfit GTS 2 Mini (new version)”, although a side by side comparison showed no actual changes (other than the price, of course).

The watch has a 1. 55″ AMOLED display (306 x 354 px, 301 ppi, 450 nits) with over 80 watch faces (nearly 50 of which were professionally designed). The Always On function offers over 60 designs.

Amazfit unveils new, cheaper version of the GTS 2 Mini with the same features

The build of the new GTS 2 Mini is the same – an aluminum alloy body with a plastic back plus skin-friendly silicone straps. The watch weighs 19. 5g without the straps. The body is waterproof up to 5 ATM, so you can take it swimming.

The 220 mAh battery promises around 14 days of regular usage, 7 days for heavy users. A basic mode is available that disables most features and can keep running for 21 days. When the battery is depleted, a full charge takes around 2 hours.

The watch offers 68+ exercise modes and features a BioTracker 2 PPG optical heart rate sensor, which also measures blood-oxygen saturation (SpO2). Other sensors include an accelerometer, gyro and ambient light sensor.

The GTS 2 Mini (new version) has a built-in GPS tracking, so it can accurately track outdoor activities (running, cycling, etc.) without being connected to a smartphone. The microphone allows you to speak to Amazon Alexa via the onboard mic. You can ask questions, set timers and add items to your shopping list.

The first phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is coming in June

The first phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is coming in June

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ chipset is coming sooner than expected. According to an unnamend source in the supply chain, the Plus model of Android’s flagship chip is due as early as June, or July at the latest.

The first devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will launch in China, but no names were revealed at this point. A very early suggestion could be the rumored OnePlus 10 Ultra, but that device could prove to use a Dimensity 9000 or the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 as the ongoing 10 Pro.

The first phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is coming in June

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ will be based on TSMC’s 4nm process and will likely be very similar to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but with slightly higher clock speeds.

Rumor has it that Qualcomm will unveil the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ in May.

3D-printed artificial reefs made from cremains are designed to regenerate marine biodiversity

3D-printed artificial reefs made from cremains are designed to regenerate marine biodiversity

Resting Reefs is a system of artificial reefs that are 3D-printed from the cremated ashes of passed-over loved ones.

Spreading the ashes of relatives who’ve passed over across the ocean is a beautiful way to memorialize loved ones. While the symbolism behind it is the point of tossing your loved ones’ ashes into the wind, Royal College of Art graduates Louise Lenborg Skajem and Aura Elena Murillo Perez developed a means to still memorialize our passed-over loved ones while regenerating endangered ecosystems in the process. Resting Reef, a line of artificial reefs made from cremated ashes using 3D technologies, marks the culmination of Lenborg Skajem’s and Murillo Perez’s studies at RCA.

Designers: Louise Lenborg Skajem and Aura Elena Murillo Perez


Working with the remains of deceased animals instead of human ashes, the design duo combined animal bones with pulverized oyster shells and a binder to create a composite to be 3D-printed into stippled mounds that resemble underwater reefs. While the designers are still testing their formulas, “it will contain a binder like a low-carbon cement suitable for marine environments.”


The 3D-printed mounds offer ideal growing conditions for oysters by mimicking the form and natural growing scheme of stromatolite reefs, which are formed from microorganisms like blue-green algae. The ashes can be made into reef mounds, which allows the surviving relatives to view their loved ones’ final resting place.

Built to prevent natural and human-induced erosion, protect shorelines from the natural elements, and regenerate native biodiversity, Resting Reef transforms traditional funeral services into preservational burial methods that protect marine life. Putting the customizable process in their own words, the design duo explains, “The way they grow is in layers, which is very similar to how oyster shells grow. We are using 3D printers to bio-mimic similar layers and ridges that are ideal for small marine organisms to attach to.”

Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro arrive with Dimensity chipsets

Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro arrive with Dimensity chipsets

Honor held a virtual launch today, announcing two new phones, part of the Play series – a vanilla Play 6T and a slightly more powerful Play 6T Pro. Both have 5G-enabled Dimensity chipsets and attractive prices, but there’s a big chance these devices remain bound to the domestic market.

Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro arrive with Dimensity chipsets

The Honor Play 6T comes with a 6. 7″ LCD with a waterdrop notch on top for the 5MP camera. It is powered by a Dimensity 700 chipset and will sell with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

The back has a new design that we haven’t seen on Honor’s phones yet and a 13MP main sensor. There are also a couple of 2MP auxilary cameras and an LED flash.

The phone comes with Magic UI 5.0, based on Android 11. There is a 5,000 mAh battery inside the Play 6T, which does not have a fancy fast-charging standard.

The phone will be sold in Black, Blue, and Silver colors for CNY1,199, which is about $190. There is also a 256 GB option that costs CNY1,399 or almost $220.

Honor Play 6T and Play 6T Pro arrive with Dimensity chipsets

The Honor Play 6T Pro has another 6. 7″ LCD at the front, but this one has a punch hole for an 8MP camera and a 1080p resolution. It is powered by a Dimensity 810 chip and 8GB RAM.

The two shooters on the back have 48MP and 2MP resolutions. The design does look familiar though – it reminds us of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.

Samsung Galaxy M53 goes official: a budget A73 that keeps the 108MP camera

Samsung Galaxy M53 goes official: a budget A73 that keeps the 108MP camera

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy M53 5G, which is equipped with a 108 MP main camera and a large 6. 7″ 120 Hz Super AMOLED Plus display. If those specs sound familiar, it’s because the M53 is basically a budget version of the Galaxy A73 5G (rather than the A53, despite the similar names).

Samsung Galaxy M53 5GSamsung Galaxy M53 5G

The one important thing that separates the Galaxy M53 and A73 is the chipset – the M53 is probably powered by a Dimensity 900 instead of the Snapdragon 778G of the A-series phones (“probably” because Samsung rarely list chipset details and we have to confirm those for ourselves). Both are 6 nm chips (TSMC), but the Snapdragon has a better CPU makeup (4x Cortex-A78 based cores vs. 2x A78) and a more powerful GPU.

Also, there is only one memory configuration, 6/128 GB, with no options for RAM or storage upgrades. The microSD slot does make the storage situation less of a worry, however.

A few other cuts were also made in the camera department. The aforementioned 108 MP main camera that sits behind an f/1. 8 lens, but it has lost the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The ultra wide camera got a lower resolution 8 MP sensor (down from 12 MP). The remaining two modules on the back are a 2 MP macro and a 2 MP depth sensor. The 32 MP selfie camera survived the budget cut unscathed.

It is punch holed into Galaxy M53’s 6. 7″ display, a Super AMOLED Plus panel with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. There’s no word on strengthened glass, but the A73 doesn’t have Gorilla Glass (or similar) either. The fingerprint reader did move to the side (Power button), though not everyone will miss the in-display reader.

Samsung Galaxy M53 goes official: a cheaper A73 that keeps the 108MP camera

The phone is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging, matching the A73 and A53. One downside of switching to the Dimensity chip is that Wi-Fi connectivity is limited to Wi-Fi 5 (ac) instead of 6. On the flip side, Bluetooth 5. 2 is supported (vs. 5.0).

This was a quiet launch so we’re still waiting on pricing info for the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G, along with a list of launch regions. It this follows the pattern of the A-series launch, it may be a couple of weeks before we find these things out.
