Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus Bluetooth Speaker Review: You’d love its Treble Mode!

Today, we’ve got our hands on the Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus, a wireless speaker that cost £69.99, and for that price, you get a premium speaker. So, let’s check out the Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus in detail.

UNBOXING

The speaker ships with a USB charging cable, a 3.5mm audio cable and a user manual. It also has two soft foams that the Z8 Plus is encased in.

 

DESIGN

With a cylindrical design, Zenbre Z8 Plus adopts a soft silicone chassis above and below, and the button and ports are set on the silicone chassis. The basic design is clean except for the elastic webbing band which is designed for taking the speaker out.

I will call the button side as the top side since you can operate the Z8 Plus through this side, which comprises of a power on/off button, a next/previous music button, a TWS key, an EQ key, a call, and Bluetooth button and a mode switch button. What’s more, there are two small LED lights to display the status of the speaker.

On the bottom side, the ports are hidden under a silicone flap that has a logo of ZENBRE. The Z8 Plus comes with a microSD card slot, a microUSB charging port, a 3.5mm aux jack, and a USB Disk port. It’s convenient for users to store music with the microSD card, and I love this feature. The speaker offers enough options to the user, making it a practical choice for multiple occasions.

SOUND QUALITY

The £69.99 cost speaker will not disappoint you as it has pretty good sound quality. We played a lot of songs with lyrics as well as complex music to check its performance. After turning on the speaker, you can press EQ key to switch between Normal, Treble and Bass modes. In the normal mode, the performance of songs heavy on lyrics turned out to be good. Even the highs were pretty crisp except for a minimum amount of distortion.

But once you switch to the Treble mode, the performance changes quite significantly. Vocals are louder and clearer. The Treble mode is amazing that livens up the vocals of the song, and personally, I am a fan of the Treble mode. Compared to the Tribit XBoom Bluetooth Speaker ($59.49), the Bass mode of Zenbre Z8 Plus is not powerful enough to shake a table. So, while the bass is pretty good for a speaker of its size, it doesn’t have the thumping effect of the XBoom speakers.

But on the whole, I prefer Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus over the Tribit XBoom Bluetooth Speaker. Like I said in the Tribit Speaker Review, the XBASS mode is too loud for me, and the bass is not my priority. The treble mode is definitely why I would pick the Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus. Turning up the volume and switching to the Treble mode can give you stereo surround sound experience that gets you completely immersed in music. It’s fantastic!

 

CONCLUSION

The Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus comes with IPX6 Waterproof and is fueled by 6600mAh built-in battery that makes sure that you can take it to the swimming pool and enjoy music for up to 18 hours in 60% volume. The speaker weighs about 1160g and comes with 101mm x 102.5mm x 221mm dimensions. Personally, it’s a bit too heavy. So, carrying it around while walking is not really a comfortable option.

[envira-gallery id=”241571″]

Overall, the Zenbre SoundBank Z8 Plus is a great affordable Bluetooth speaker. Therefore, I can recommend this speaker if you are looking for something that can play good music with powerful vocals, and decent bass, for up to 18 hours.

Huawei’s Kirin 985 flagship chipset with increased performance to launch in H2 2019

Huawei, the leading smartphone vendor in China, launched its flagship Kirin 980 chipset a few months ago which competes against other flagship processors — Snapdragon 855 and Exynos 9820. Now, it seems that the company is working on another flagship chipset.

Kirin 970

According to the reports, the upcoming chipset from Huawei — HiliSilicon Kirin 985 will be launched in the second half of this year. As per the report from a Taiwan-based portal, the self-sufficiency rate of Kirin processors for this year will be increased to 60 percent.

The company is expected to significantly increase the production of the chipset in the second half of this year, which is based on TSMC‘s 7nm process. The China-based manufacturer is still relying on MediaTek and Qualcomm chipsets for a few of its mid-range devices but the company is now reducing its reliance on other manufacturers going forward.

Thus, the Chinese company is expected to accelerate the production of its low-end chipsets as well, along with the high-end chipsets. The upcoming Huawei Kirin 985 chipset will be based on 7nm+ EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Light) technology. As said, the chipset will be released in the second half of the year as the successor of the Kirin 980.

Xiaomi invests 35 billion INR into its India business

Xiaomi, which has been dominating the Indian smartphone market since the past few quarters, has received a fresh investment to further ramp up its operations in one of the world’s biggest smartphone market.

As per the company’s filing with the Registrar of Companies, Xiaomi has invested money into Xiaomi Technology India in two tranches — Rs. 1,500 crore (15 billion INR) on 17th January and Rs. 2,000 crore (20 billion INR) on 1st March.

Xiaomi Logo

Reports indicate that the company would utilize the newly infused funds to enter the white goods sector — such as water purifiers, washing machines, laptops and refrigerators. It will also spend money on expanding its company-owned Mi Home retail stores to sustain the leadership in the Indian smartphone market.

The development of this new funding in Xiaomi’s Indian business comes at a time when Samsung is revamping its strategy for the budget smartphones in the Indian market with the all-new Galaxy M-series and Galaxy A-series smartphones.

Xiaomi has not been spending heavily in the Indian business because it heavily relies on an asset-light model. Also, the company’s majority of sales are through online channels via Flipkart and Amazon. However, the company is now putting in efforts to establish its presence in the offline channels as well.

Honor 10i live on Huawei’s Russian website, packs 32MP selfie camera, triple rear cams and Kirin 710 chipset

The Honor 10i may or may not get a special launch event as the phone is sort of official in Russia already. The new mid-range phone is listed on Huawei’s Russian website with all you need to know about it save for the price.

Honor 10i featured

The Honor 10i is covered in glass on both sides with the one on the rear curving to meet the frame in the middle. The front of the phone is home to a Dewdrop display with a moderately sized lower bezel and a notch at the top. The phone is available in three colors – Shimmer Red, Shimmer Blue, and Vicious Black – with the first two having a 3D color gradient effect that allows them to appear different depending on the angle you hold them.

In terms of specs, the Honor 10i doesn’t disappoint, at least for a mid-range phone from Honor. It has a 6.21-inch 2340 x 1080 display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Its screen is also certified as safe by TUV Rheinland. Under the glass hood of the phone is the Kirin 710 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage (512GB max.). There is also GPU Turbo 2.0 for improved gaming performance.

If you call the Honor 10i a camera-centric phone, we won’t disagree with you. It has a 32MP selfie camera that is housed inside the notch. The selfie camera has lots of face-adjustment features so your portrait selfies can turn out great. On the back of the phone lies the triple camera sensors – a 24MP f/1.8 primary camera, an 8MP f/2.4 ultra-wide angle secondary sensor, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. It can record slow-motion videos at 480fps, has AI scene detection, and can shoot long exposure nighttime photos without the need for a tripod.

The phone has dual-SIM support (nano only), dual-SIM VoLTE, and NFC. It runs EMUI 9.0.1 based on Android 9 Pie. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back and it also has support for Face Unlock.
