16 Smartphone Gadgets that Change Everything.

device number one, the finger stud, and it doesn't look like much, but this is a game

change

r. I think about the not-so-smart devices in your home right now, your TV, your kettle, your light bulbs, maybe, well, this makes them smart, you download the

smartphone

. app and through it, a touch brings this robotic arm down to press the physical buttons on your appliances, so I mounted mine on my PC and, with my phone across the room or even upstairs, I can now Turn it on. I don't expect to like this product, but for just over thirty dollars I ended up loving it.

It is a watch. I hesitate to call it a SmartWatch, but it's nice to see that you can do SmartWatch things like customize your watch face and check your phone's notifications. That's just the beginning, they track all kinds of stats, like step count, heart rate, blood pressure and can even act as a remote shutter button for your phone's camera, and all our stuff is great, so It's useful, but it's not my favorite. The feature you see stored inside is actually two wireless earbuds and the watch doubles as a charging case for them as something you keep on your wrist all the time anyway that combination makes so much sense that you take out these earbuds and put them on. you put in your ear.

They automatically connect to your phone and don't even sound bad, the fit may be an issue for some people, but for me, if I spent $30 just on the headphones, I wouldn't feel like I'd been ripped off and that's quite an achievement. Interesting is what I used to describe the sound boom of this next product: It's a speaker for your

smartphone

but it doesn't require any pairing or batteries if you have a phone that supports wireless charging like a Samsung or a Huawei then you just turn that on function and place your phone in the connection area, suddenly your music will stop playing on your phone's speaker and will start coming out of this speaker much louder and richer, to give you an idea and play music on my phone right now, Let's put it on and see what happens.

Also a big thank you to Surf Shark VPN for sponsoring this video now on the topic of wireless charging. Welcome to an ampair device. It's a wireless charger as you've probably guessed, but with a twist, you plug it into the mains and suddenly you have three coils of 10W fast wireless charging. There is one that is better for Android users, but the one I have here is focused on Apple. There is a place for an Apple Watch and another for your. Air Pods and one for your iPhone, plus

everything

can work with your MacBook charger and the extra touch is this folding mechanism which of course makes it more portable, but B means it can be folded to act as a stand for your device here is a fact about my magic.

I can show you that I drink a lot of tea and I think most tea drinkers agree that the second half of the cup always tastes less good than the first half because when you get there it's cold. enter the new Ember travel mug – it's not perfect, but it's one of my most used devices since I entered the studio, it syncs with your smartphone and allows you to keep your drink at the temperature you think is comfortable. It comes with a base and while your mug is on, it can keep your drink hot for two days if you wish, although I probably wouldn't drink two day old tea, but more importantly the mug also works while traveling by keeping your drink warm. the perfect temperature for three more days. hours on a road trip there are a couple more things I really appreciate here this lid mechanism, for example it's 100% spill free, like it's full of liquid right now and I feel perfectly safe doing this on a lots of expensive devices and you should probably stop when it comes to drinking, just press this down and you can drink from any angle.

There's also a touchscreen on the side, which just means you can control the temperature without the app if you want to - you probably didn't. I see it coming, but welcome to the cowboy, it's a smart bike and that comes with some benefits you probably expected and some he probably didn't have. The bike itself is a fairly conservative mix of matte and gloss black. I wouldn't say the design screams but it is premium in a subtle way, it is also quite light at 16 kilos and has wide tires for better grip on the road but what makes it different is the smart features with an app that you can lock it and unlock it the same way you do your car and when it's locked it won't go anywhere.

You have control over the lights on the front and rear, you can diagnose problems remotely and probably my favorite feature is that it tells you where your bike is at all times, so if you're really forgetful and just need to remember where you left it, it works for that or if you are really unlucky and someone just stole it from you, you can still track it and trace it, plus being an electric bike it has a battery that you feel the moment you put it on for the first time. When you put your foot down, it makes you feel like I imagine a professional cyclist racing around a race track would feel, except you don't need to try as hard;

The electric motor automatically takes hills and difficult terrain into account and detects when you do. You're trying hard and then it gives you a little extra push and before you know it you'll be flying at 25 kilometers per hour. We've seen a lot of smartphone handles in this series, but this one is probably the best-regarded. one I've come across is called Oat Snap and it's a sizeable size but looks surprisingly good on the back of your phone, pressing on one end releases a kickstand that can hold your phone at an angle or just used to give you a little more security when holding it, but then you can put these two ends together and they lock so they won't come apart anytime soon, then you can slide the grip up or down, which brings your thumb up on the city and there are Many times, especially with the massive phones that we see nowadays, where I personally wanted to be able to slide up and have better access to the top of my phone and now you can make the grip curved. in a way that prevents it from getting caught in your pockets, it contains a magnet so you can throw it on a refrigerator for example, and the icing on the cake is that if you still want to use wireless charging, you can remove the metal for comparison and it works at continuation. up is a smartphone flashlight, but I'd say it's less of a cool toy and more of a professional tool.

You can set it up as a continuous light source if you were just trying to create a dramatic video, for example, or you can connect it to your phone. I have the iPhone here and then it will act as a flash for when you take photos and it's about four times brighter than the built-in flash with about twice the range so here are some details. -Side by side photos just to give you an idea of ​​the difference that makes with the anchor as well. It is my current favorite power bank. It's not cheap and it doesn't really look like anything out of the ordinary, but it's pretty much all you are.

It will long need a power capacity of twenty-six billion eight hundred million, which means it can charge even smartphones with large batteries, like six times from empty, which is equivalent to a week's battery and it's not just that it can charge them, But you can also do it quickly with 45 watt output from a single port; It's actually powerful enough to charge most USBC laptops. There have been a couple of times where I have been away from home and my MacBook was about to die and this has saved me. day, but there's more in the box, you also get three Atem anchors, a sixty-watt charger to recharge this power bank in about three and a half hours where Jeff doesn't sound fast, but when you consider that it's six Ferns of Battery not bad, okay, let's talk about the moment for a minute.

I've heard a ton about their camera lenses over the years on YouTube, but never got around to trying them until now and they have some distinct benefits over just using your phone's camera, so get started. with a case, they have four ton cases for a bunch of different phones and each one is built with camera cutouts specifically designed to allow for lens mounting and then you choose your weapon. I have three right here, a wide fisheye lens and then a macro, so starting with the wide, your field of view

change

s from this to this, it's not drastic, but it's enough to notice the fisheye, although then you take it even further and you might be thinking that the iPhone 11 pro already has an ultra-wide camera built in.

It seems like a really pointless exercise to put an ultra wide angle camera on the main camera and for casual uses I agree that the main benefit of mounting a wide angle lens is that you can still use your phone's main camera to take a photo in white. and almost consistently the phone's main cameras are many times better than its ultra-wide cameras. Also, with an iPhone, the night mode software is fantastic, but it only works on the main camera, the ultrawide can't use it, so for perspective I took this photo using the ultrawide camera at night on the iPhone and so on.

It's how it looks using the fisheye lens currently attached to the main camera, a pretty big difference. I also played with a macro camera and was again impressed, although one thing to know is that when you get very close to objects, you benefit from having another light source, but that's where the anchor light comes into play. Welcome to something you didn't know you needed. At first glance it's a pretty nondescript looking plastic box, but it opens up to form a docking station, you pop your phone into this USB C port and suddenly you can plug it into pretty much anything.

The dock has two USB 2.0 ports, which is nice, but then you flip it over to an HDMI, which is awesome. Why do I directly call my TV to use Samsung platforms, for example, but even more crucial on the third side is a fast USB 3.0 port as well as an SD and micro SD card slot and it just works. I could record something with my main camera and then I slide the SD card right into my phone and start watching the clips for a change of pace here's something simple a charging cable but it's nice what you're looking at is a nylon coated cable for a great durability an LED light on the charging head holder for 40 watt fast charging, but the main differentiator is that the head is tilted 90 degrees, which, to be honest, for the vast majority of people it doesn't really do the difference, but it's useful for gamers because usually the cables stick straight out. and getting your fingers in the way while playing this negates that problem, we can go further with yet another cable and before you start jumping with excitement you might want to hear this, the Energy 360 is a rotating magnetic cable and there are actually two.

The interesting thing about this one is that you can switch between normal and 90 degree orientation, but you can also change the tips to charge a microUSB lightning and a USB C, which covers almost every fern out there, as with

everything

, although there is a compensation. The fantastic magnetic switching system means that the current is limited to 2.4 amps, which should be fine for most people, but if you have one of those phones with super fast charges, it may not keep up, but it would be an awesome backup cable because it supports All right, this is fun. There's a company called Shift Cam that has created a smartphone case that claims to be the fastest way to adapt your phone's cameras on the fly.

Try to solve the problem with the external lenses of smartphones, and yes. They may be great quality, but most people are just put off by the fact that they now have something else they have to carry around, so in this case you have five lenses to play with for a 10x + 20x macro camera . 4x extreme 180 degree fisheye telephoto lens and a polarizing lens, the macros are self-explanatory, the 10x slides on top of your phone's main camera to get you 10 times closer, its quality is decent, while that the 20x is a similar lens, but because it slides over your phone's 2x telephoto camera, it can get you 20x closer and again, the quality is pretty good.

The 4x zoom camera works in a similar way, so to give you an idea, this is the main camera on my iPhone, this is what it would look like. using the built in 2 x camera and this would be the total of 4 times using the gearbox lens on top of that and the fisheye speaks for itself a very wide field of view but also a ton of distortion and finally this polarizer It is basically built to reduce glare and increase contrast in theultra wide camera on your phone, there are situations where it is useful, but I will say this for all of these lenses, you get what you pay for, they are good, but they are just not as good as buying a specialized lens for one task now for a product that It is much heavier than necessary, but this is quickly forgiven when you feel how well built it is, you can tell that it was built not to move, this is air. quad and the name tells half the story, it can charge four devices at the same time, so it's actually quite similar to the charger we saw earlier in terms of range, but with this additional USB C dock for a smartphone or even an iPad pro.

As a bonus, if you've seen this far, I also managed to get my hands on what were claimed to be the world's thinnest true wireless earbuds and I don't doubt the claim that these even make fairly svelte airports look chunky throughout the effort and cases. They are so small that you will put them in your pocket and completely forget they are there. That's it, they've been rated against big dogs and for many people that might be the sticking point, even though they sound great considering what they are. They don't cancel noise and simply rest near your ear canal rather than inside it, and they have touch controls for your music and voice assistance.

They won't match the connectivity and smoothness of airport navigation.Shark VPN is a pretty incredible value and get this: you pay $99 a month and that gives you unlimited simultaneous connections.
