IWO PRO DT8 Ultra+ is an Apple Watch Ultra Lookalike for Just $32

The Apple Watch, being the most popular smartwatch on the globe has spawned many imitations and lookalikes. One such lookalike by the name of Fire-Boltt Gladiator was recently launched exclusively in India. Now, another such wearable by the name of IWO PRO DT8 Ultra+ has debuted for the global market.

AliExpress now offers the IWO PRO DT8 Ultra+ smartwatch in every country. The device resembles the Apple Watch Ultra in terms of form, featuring a huge display, a thicker watch case, and an interchangeable silicone tubular strap.

The wearable also referred to as the DT8 Ultra Pro, has a 2.13-in (54 mm) display with a 420 x 485 px display and a thin bezel around it. A rotary crown and hotkeys on the watch’s sides are used to control the gadget, providing shortcuts for initiating exercises.

The DT8 Ultra+ has NFC capabilities that let you open smart locks and doors as well as GPS tracking. You can place calls on the watch utilizing a built-in speaker and a Bluetooth 5.0 connection to your smartphone. The wearable is allegedly capable of measuring biometrics like your heart rate or blood pressure as well as ambient pressure. It’s unclear, though, how accurate these tools are. Thanks to a 280 mAh battery, the gadget should last five days with average use or 20 days in standby mode. You can wirelessly recharge the smartphone to 100% in around five hours.

The device comes in grey, orange, and black. The IWO PRO Pro DT8 Ultra+ smartwatch is now available in the US at a discounted price of US$31.75; the device is anticipated to retail for US$63.50 in the future. The wearable ships from China and end-of-January deliveries to North America are anticipated.

YESOUL Bike G1 Max Indoor Cycling Review: An Affordable Best Peloton Alternative

Yesoul Bike G1 MAX

If you are looking for an Indoor Spin Bike for yourself, you must have considered buying a Peloton Bike, which is great. But the only thing stopping you from buying it must be the fact that it is too expensive. Then this Spin Bike might be for you: the Yesoul G1 Max, a Spin Bike with a screen, but at almost half the price of the Peloton bike.

Packaging & assembling

The G1 Max has a lot of packaging padding and a lot of tapes to hold it in place. While it may take you some time to unpack, it also reminds us that wherever you are, it is not likely to be damaged due to long shipping. The screen and power supply are not included in this large box, they will be in another small box. Since the G1 Max has more movable parts, there may be more parts than other Spin bikes. The manual that we do not usually read is very important this time. Anyway, with the tools Yesoul has given you, you just have to follow the manual to install it. If you are unlucky to lose the manual, there is also an electronic version of the manual on the official website. Once you have installed it, you can start your exercise normally.

Design

Although the price is only half of Peloton (might even lower than half), the quality is no less than Peloton. V-shaped metal frame, yes. Two light dumbbells, yes. Adjustable seat and handlebar, yes. Even the feature of movement adjustment is also available for the G1 MAX screen, which we’ve seen on the more expensive Peloton Bike+. And the adjustment range is wider, which makes this screen full of possibilities even beyond exercise assistance. Underneath the handle, there are two water bottle holders.

In the middle of the frame, there is a knob which you can control the level of resistance and press down to brake. The 100 levels of Resistance adjustment allow you to make a personalized riding experience.

Unlike the Peloton Bike, the G1 Max pedals are held in place by straps that hold the feet in place. I think both fixation methods have their own benefits, Peloton requires you to wear Cycling shoes to use, which can lock your feet firmly, and also make it more like riding a road bike. G1 Max is more convenient, any shoes are appropriate for riding. It means that you do not need to buy additional Cycling shoes. As a result, we think the Yesoul G1 Max is more friendly for beginners.

32-inch Big Screen

I would say the most impressive part, besides its cheap price, is the screen. This 32-inch screen is ten inches larger than Peloton’s, and it’s even larger than my computer screen. Even though, as I just said, the G1 Max has a wide range of screen movement. It allows users to use it for other entertainment even when they are not riding. Yesoul has also added a cast function to this screen. You can cast YouTube or other platform videos. In case, you give up exercising completely, then this screen will not be wasted but can be a great tool for entertainment.

Of course you can also cast Peloton tutorials onto the screen of the G1 Max, which sounds more like a Peloton Bike, right? With its own 8w dual speakers, it’s really no different from a compact TV.

The Yesoul G1 Max is designed with this rotating screen to make various sports connections more closely. For example, there are some yoga tutorials. If you want to watch the tutorials while doing yoga, there is no way more convenient than directly flipping the screen.

App & Experience

To use the big screen, you still need a remote control. But it’s convenient that your phone can be turned into the remote control. Yesoul APP connects to G1 Max via Bluetooth, which can realize the functions of casting, class selection, and schedule settings. It feels so good that we truly recommend you buy a spin bike with a screen in order to follow the tutorials to exercise. It’s definitely able to save you time and make any exercise more efficient.

There are a lot of tutorials in the APP, and there is a free trial period for starting. So, make sure that you’ve made sure that you were making a workout plan and would follow it. Otherwise, the smartness and the paid features of the G1 Max are redundant for you.

Verdict

I believe Yesoul’s designers had the idea of “beating Peloton” in mind when they designed the G1 Max. This is their strategy to make some differentiated design and sell it at a lower price while achieving similar functions. I think whether it really beats Peloton or not, at least it gives people who can’t afford Peloton bikes a chance to experience a high-end Spin bike. If G1 Max brings benefits to wider groups, then it is a successful bike.

DJI Teases January 10 Launch of a Handheld Gimbal; Likely the DJI RS 3 Mini

Prolific Chinese drone manufacturer reputed as the king of drones – DJI has teased the upcoming launch of a non-drone product. The product is a handheld gimbal, yet another niche where the company’s products excel. The launch is scheduled to hold on January 10, 2023. While the post did not explicitly name the gimbal model that would be unveiled, the teaser poster hints that it would be of the RS 3 series.

DJI RS 3 Mini

Already, DJI has launched the RS 3 and RS 3 Pro handheld gimbals around June 2022. Thus, we expect the product to be a Mini model of the RS 3 series. The product, likely called DJI RS 3 Mini, will have a smaller size compared to its predecessors. To put this in perspective, the teaser poster contains three gimbals of different sizes. The large and medium-sized models correspond to the RS 3 and RS 3 Pro. Thus, the smaller one will likely be the mini version.

At teh moment, details of the upcoming gimbal model are not known neither has the company indicated the price tag it would adopt. However, considering that the RS 3 Pro and RS 3 are priced at 5499 yuan and 2999 yuan respectively, we expect the new model to be cheaper.

Apart from a cheaper price, the model will likely come with trimmed down features. It is expected to weigh less than the 1.3 kg which the RS 3 weighs. The payload capacity will also likely be less than 3kg which is the carry capacity of the RS 3.

DJI RS 3 Mini handheld gimbal

We expect the gmbal to come with basic features such as stabilization technology and just like the others, it will likely be a camera gimbal. However, we don’t expect the gimbal to come with a built-in LiDAR laser focus found on the RS 3 Pro and missing on the vanilla RS 3.

We expect to find out more details of the upcoming DJI handheld gimbal when it is officially unveiled.

Design

As you already understood, these two phones have the same form factor: they are flip phones able to fold in half in order to make their dimensions very small. However, the Motorola Razr 2022 is slightly more compact, thanks to the presence of a smaller display and a smaller battery. Further, it has an outstanding build quality, including a water-repellent design, a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, an aluminum 7000 series frame, and a stainless steel hinge. On the other hand, the OPPO Find N2 Flip comes with a nearly perfect hinge making the cease almost invisible, so do not underestimate it.

Display

The foldable internal display of the Motorola Razr 2022 is more interesting not only because it is able to show up to one billion colors, but also because it sports a higher 144 Hz refresh rate. It is an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and HDR10+ certification. The OPPO Find N2 Flip has a more interesting external display: a bigger 3.7-inch panel placed vertically allowing for a better user experience. The external display of the OPPO Find N2 Flip is an AMOLED panel protected by Gorilla Glass 5 with a resolution of 382 x 720 pixels. On the internal side, the phone sports an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.8 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification.

Specs & Software

These two phones have different processors but similar performance. The Motorola Razr 2022 is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3.19 GHz and paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The OPPO Find N2 Flip has a MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset with the same max frequency, paired with up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native storage. The OPPO Find N2 Flip wins the hardware comparison due to its higher amount of RAM. It also ships with a more recent Android version out of the box: Android 13 instead of Android 12.

Camera

The Motorola Razr 2022 wins the camera hardware comparison. It has a dual rear camera including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and a 13 MP ultrawide shooter, as well as a 32 MP front camera. The OPPO Find N2 Flip has a 50 MP main camera too, but without OIS and accompanied by an 8 MP ultrawide lens.

Battery

The biggest battery is the one found on the OPPO Find N2 Flip, with a capacity of 4300 mAh instead of just 3700 mAh. Further, it charges quicker due to 44W fast charging.

Price

You need at least $845/€800 to purchase the OPPO Find N2 Flip in China, while the Motorola Razr 2022 starts from $1200/€1200 globally. I would choose the OPPO flip phone due to its bigger battery, Android 13, and better external display: which one would you pick?

Dell Announces the Concept Nyx Second-gen Futuristic Gaming Controller at CES 2023

The Dell Concept Nyx gaming controller has been unveiled. The new Dell second-gen gaming controller comes with a futuristic bent. The announcement was made during CES 2023. Recall that the original Nyx was showcased during CES 2022.

Dell Concept Nyx gaming controller

The Concept Nyx comes with advanced features that help to deliver an immersive gaming experience. It has a fingerprint sensor and a customizable trigger response. The controller also features the ability to move a game from screen to screen by pointing it at the screen. When the Nyx is connected to a gaming server, it allows you to play your favorite games. You can play games using one controller or even play two games simultaneously.

The possibility of the Concept Nyx transiting into commercial production is slim. It is rather seen as a stepping stone for future practical gaming controllers. It looks a bit different from its predecessor with some improvements.

A few elements of the Xbox Series S controller are visible in the Concept Nyx. The fingerprint sensor allows you to instantly open the last game played. This cool feature is capable of recognizing multiple fingerprints of users.
