Anker Soundcore Flare Portable Bluetooth 360° Speaker

Anker Soundcore Flare bluetooth speaker comes in the usual Anker's blue and white paper packaging but with a really nice image detailing whats inside, with the speaker itself dropped in water motion.

Opening the packaging, there is a nicely wrapped Soundcore Flare in it along with cable for charing and a manual. I really like the cylinder shape it gives a nice round sound to any direction while its still easy to hold with one hand. There are control buttons on top, compared to my older Soundcore speakers this has a light control button and a bass up button. What sets the Flare aside from others is the bottom bit, it has a ring of lights built in. on the backside of the speaker, there are two indicators for bluetooth connection and power, below them, there is a micro usb charging port and an AUX in port.

After turning it on and paired with my phone, I can instantly play music through it, the sound is great! and the bass is unbelievable for a speaker this size, especially after pressed the bass-up button! The treble is good too, very clear to hear voices and lyrics. I use this to pair with my Amazon Echo Dot, it is a good expansion for it, as the Dot's builtin speaker is really small and weak. I could easily ask the Dot to play any music and this thing illuminates up! The base ring is great it beats with the rhythm.

There is another nice surprise: App support. For both iOS and Android devices you can download the Soundcore app, after bluetooth connection, it is possible to change the light pattern, update firmware and etc, this is the first Soundcore speaker supports this, I really do hope to see more speaker supported, or even the older versions supported :)

I gave this speaker 5 out of 5 stars! I would recommend to any one needs a indoor/outdoor speaker, or a companion to Amazon Echo Dot. You can easily get it from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BHP4W36

Anker USB C Charger, 18W PIQ 3.0 Fast Charger Adapter, PowerPort III Nano USB C Wall Charger

The Anker new 18W USB-C charger comes in traditional Anker blue and white packaging: Inside there is the charger and documents including manual and the "Happy Card". Comparing to my iPad Air charger and also my iPhone charger, it is clearly a winner, the iPad charger is 12W and iPhone is merely 5w, but similar sized Anker one is 18w.  Plugged into the UK socket, it leaves a very small footprint and doesn't affect anything else, comparing to my MacBook Pro's charger the Anker one is like a baby :) Then I tested charging various devices: Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD: Xiaomi Mi 8: Nintendo Switch: and my trusted iPhone 7 Plus (no fast charging but good to see backward compatibility): Conclusion : The new Anker 18W USB-C charger is clearly the winner, it is the first charger build into a UK plug shaped body, very compact in size, thanks to the GaN technology it provides a whooping 18W charging for the size. It pro

Anker Waterproof Case, IPX8-Rated Dry Bag

With summer is coming fast, literally just around the corner, most people would go to somewhere beside water - swimming pool, seaside or riverside. While most people would enjoy the water related activities, there is one thing always kept people worried: their mobile phone, as most phones are not water proof and can be easily damaged by water. That is where the Anker Dry Bag comes in! Anker included two dry bags in the package with straps on them. that is really nice as most people going out with their loved ones. The case is IPX8 waterproof, which means it can go as deep as 100 feet, that is around 33 meters! It fits and phones up to 6 inches, that is like 99% of phones. To use the bag it couldn't be simpler: just open the two switch on each side of the bag and then place the phone inside, and close the switch, thats it the bag is water sealed. the bag is completely transparent, when the phone is inside you can use it to take photos or do other things you usually do on your ph

Anker Eufy Lumos Smart Bulb

Eufy is a new brand from Anker that is very well known for its power banks and charging solutions, this brand is for the home appliances like robot vacuum cleaner. The new Eufy Lumos Smart Bulb is a new product to the family, a lightbulb that can be turned on and off by using a smart phone app. Compare to the many other smart light bulb, Lumos has a great advantage: no hub or bridge is needed, only wifi signal that is available in most homes. this smart bulb I have is just white but they also do a coloured version. In test I have my wifi router at 1st floor and I have no problem control my light bulb on the ground floor even at the furthest point away, the light bulb is very bright at 800 lumen. One thing I would like to see it improve is to have IFTTT support, which would open a whole new world to have different conditions that automatically turn on/off the light bulb. 💡 I would recommend for people who need a smart light bulb, you can get from here:  Amazon Link
