Studio Stick portable recording studio for smartphones

studio-stickThe modern day smartphone is indeed an indispensable tool for anyone and everyone, where it functions as our primary camera, our navigation device, our portable media player, our fitness tracker, and for some, a simple microphone to take down audio notes as and when required. All of these in addition to it being a primary communications device to keep us connected to the rest of the world. However, no one has really tried to turn the smartphone into a portable recording studio, not until now with the introduction of the Studio Stick.

The Studio Stick is touted to be the world’s first portable recording studio for smartphones which will enable users to record high quality songs/audio regardless of where they are, and at a far lower cost compared to renting a professional studio. Being a Kickstarter project, the Studio Stick will first need to raise the necessary amount of funds before it will become reality. The ultimate objective is to democratize the studio recording experience, so that artists can gain access to a professional recording studio without having to blow their budget.

Arriving in a tiny, 20-inch container which can open and expand to an adjustable height, the Studio Stick will feature a microphone, pop filter, mic stand, reflective filter, and phone holder once it is opened. This will then allow artists to be able to record high quality songs just about anywhere and at any time, making it a great tool to have around when inspiration hits. With the Studio Stick app, artists can also record, mix, and master songs, as though they were right smack in a traditional recording studio. Not only that, you can also proceed to sell or purchase beats directly from other users through the apps marketplace, and once the songs are completed, feel free to distribute them to major online retailers such as iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify among others via the Studio Stick App. Place a pre-order for the Studio Stick on Kickstarter now for $274 a pop.

Cat S31 is a smartphone that is built to last

cat-s31Now here is a smartphone that those who have butterfingers are able to identify with — the Cat S31. What makes the Cat S31 so special? For starters, this is a rugged and resilient smartphone that comes packed to the brim in order to enable it to face harsh environments, or great adventures outdoors. Either way, it does not matter, as it will continue to work just fine.

Key hardware specifications of the Cat S31 include a 4.7-inch 720p High Definition display that has been specially optimized for use outdoors, and its touchscreen can also be used if your fingers are wet or if it is really cold and you’ve a pair of gloves on. 2GB of RAM will be accompanied by 16GB of internal memory, which can be further augmented by a microSD memory card.A quad-core 1.3GHz Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm will keep things running, while the 8MP camera at the back should be adequate for everyday use, with a 2MP front-facing camera being available for selfies. Running on Android Nougat, we are not quite sure whether it is going to receive the Android Oreo update or not. A 4,000mAh battery will be able to provide you with more than enough juice to last throughout the day.

Now, the big question is, just how large is it? It is ideal for all sorts of situations, including construction, agriculture, security, and vehicle repair, or for one to indulge in activities such as hiking, fishing, and biking. The casing is rated at IP68 waterproof, where it is also dust resistant and drop proof, allowing you to drop it to 1.8m onto concrete without breaking into a sweat. This MIL SPEC 810G phone has also been waterproof tested to remain submerged up to 1.2 meters of water for as long as 35 minutes, and is full well capable of handling thermal shocks, too. This is definitely a smartphone from Cat that is worthy of its name, like its predecessors.

Alpha-One smartphone launched by Tonino Lamborghini

alpha-oneMention the brand Lamborghini and many people would have thoughts of an exotic supercar that will set hearts aflutter, regardless of your gender. However, the Lamborghini brand has also managed to sneak its way into the world of smartphones, with the Alpha-One being the latest smartphone that has been launched in the UK exclusively with London department store Harrods. It makes plenty of sense, right? High street department store Harrods would not settle for anything less than the best, and makes a good fit with Lamborghini.

For those who happen to be living in the oil rich gulf, especially in the UAE, can pick up this Tonino Lamborghini smartphone from the Levant luxury boutique that is located right smack in the Dubai Mall, as well as the other high level hotels. Just what is the Alpha-One smartphone all about? It basically plays the role of an ambassador, representing a new species of mobile phones that will bring together technology with pure luxury. This is an idea that has been done before with the now defunct Vertu brand, so it remains to be seen whether it is going to make it big or end up with the same fate as Vertu.

Constructed using nothing else but the finest materials that are in the market, including handcrafted Italian leather and a liquid alloy that has been specially developed to resist corrosion, you can be sure that each Alpha-One is going to be worth your while. All of it will arrive in a lightweight form factor, as this specially designed smartphone merges design, fashion and functionality. Hardware features include a dual SIM slot, a speedy fingerprint sensor, a front-facing 8MP camera, a 20MP camera with optical and digital image stabilization at the back, with a Dolby dual speaker.

Any takers? It will probably cost you more than an arm and a leg, making a mockery of daylight robbery but do expect some tycoons to snap it up in double quick time, too.

Phoozy thermal capsule protects your smartphone this summer

phoozySummer is a great time to bond with family and friends, especially when you would like to spend the time in the great outdoors while enjoying all that nature has to offer. Unfortunately for some of us, we live in places where the mercury tends to end up far higher than other places around the earth, and this would also be detrimental to our smartphone’s “health”. Enter Phoozy, an accessory that has been touted to be the world’s first thermal capsule that intends to summer proof your smartphone, if there is such a way of doing so.

Specially adapted from spacesuit technology, Phoozy claims to be able to offer smartphones protection thanks to its integrated thermal, drop and float protection, all the while ensuring that battery life is preserved during your epic summer adventures. How does it get the job done? Being a thin and flat case, the Phoozy will ensure that most iPhones, Samsung Galaxy handsets or Google Pixel devices will not end up baked under the sun, while ensuring that battery life is maximized in either extreme heat or cold environments, allowing you to chill out on the beach, by the pool, on a boat, or even high up in the mountain tops.

After all, it is no fun at all to have your handset overheat and shut down, or have it drop out of your pocket when you lose your balance as you try to walk across a log that hangs precariously above a river. With integrated drop protection and buoyancy, you would have added peace of mind, even when your handset falls prey to the law of gravity and drops into a body of water. It will still remain afloat right on top of the water’s surface. Phoozy will retail for $29.99 apiece, and will also cater to select models from other smartphone manufacturers such as HTC, LG and Motorola.
