lg-x-chargeWant to pick up a spanking new smartphone, but do not want to be bogged down by details of owning a high end flagship like the iPhone 7 Plus or Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus? Well, there are always more affordable options from different manufacturers, including the LG X Charge. The LG X Charge will hit theUS via Xfinity Mobile that will come with additional juice to spare. This smartphone carries LG’s largest battery which will charge in double quick time, and is capable of lasting all weekend — or so that is what LG claims, using Comcast’s latest wireless service.

The LG X Charge carries the largest battery from LG to date in a smartphone being a 4,500mAh monster, offering a 5.5-inch HD display to go along with it. It will definitely go down well with users who demand a whole lot more from this handset than others, where it has been specially designed to meet the demands of those who want maximum usage between charges.

The fast-charging battery is said to be able to last for the whole weekend before requiring a trip to the nearby power outlet, even though it has a 5.5-inch HD In-cell Touch display with 1,280 x 720 resolution. Other hardware specifications point to a 5MP wide angle camera in front, making it a snap to capture selfies just like that, while LG’s smart UX also comes with Auto Shot and Gesture Interval Shot that helps to simplify the photo-taking process by triggering the shutter whenever it detects a face or correct hand gesture. At the back lies a 13MP camera with soft LED flash, where it handles both portraits and breath-taking landscapes without missing a beat.

Powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz processor, you get 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, and Android 7.0 Nougat as the operating system of choice.

NuAns NEO is a customizable Android 7.1 Nougat smartphone

nuans-neoWhile many of the newer smartphones which are released these days happen to arrive with Android 7.0 Nougat right out of the box, or even the newer iterations in the form of Android 7.1 Nougat, most of these happen to hail from reputable manufacturers, what about an Indiegogo project that might just blow your mind away? Enter the NuAns NEO, which is now available on Indiegogo, which is set to sport Android 7.1 Nougat as the operating system of choice the moment you unbox it.

The NuAns NEO happens to hail from Trinity Inc., where it has re-emerged full of upgrades and improvements. Something tells me that there is a very “Matrix-like” theme to this, and prior to running on Android, it used to rely on the Windows 10 operating system from Microsoft. With this, Android users are now able to experience the NuAns NEO, without having to forgo the wide range of applications that the Android Marketplace has for users.

Expect the all new NuAns NEO to be powered by a 3,540mAh capacity battery that is supposedly able to deliver a whopping 23 hours of talk and 335 hours of standby time. Of course, all of these figures are theoretical and under controlled conditions, do expect real life usage to see a lower mileage, but it should still be adequate enough to last you throughout the day with some more juice left to spare. Underneath the hood lies Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 ability, a microSD memory card slot that offers up to 1TB of storage space, Sharp’s 5.2-inch Full HD display at 428 ppi pixel density, and a choice between TONE and FLIP cases. A whole lot of it is shaped to pit itself against other bigger and more notable brand names, and if you would like to try out something that is unique, the NuAns NEO might be just the one for you.

The Onyx Walkie Talkies give unlimited range

Onyx Walkie Talkie

The idea of being able to wear and use a Communicator like those seen in Star Trek is obviously something everyone wants to try. While we have our cell phones, it’s just not the same as being able to tap a pin on your shirt and have instant access to a friend who may or may not be nearby. We got a feel for this sort of device through walkie talkies as kids, and now that we’re adults, we don’t get to use them unless we have to for work.

It won’t function like a normal long-range walkie talkie, but this Onyx can certainly give you instant access to your friends and family. These are “smart” walkie talkies, in that they give you unlimited range through the cellular data on your smartphone. They have unlimited channels, and easily pair with Android and iOS smartphones alike. They’re lightweight, and can clip onto your clothes or bag easily.

You’ll be able to name the various channels you share with friends to keep track of who is speaking, and a map on the app will show you where the other end is on the globe. Getting a pair of these in black, silver, iridescent cobalt or rose will cost you $199.99. Sadly, if either of you don’t have your phone with cell and internet access available when you want to use this, you can’t.

Available for purchase on Amazon

Beam is a smart projector that gives you a screen anywhere, any time

Beam Smart Projector

If you’re all about having a smart home, then you likely dream of having a similar setup to Tony Stark’s workshop. Everything is a motion or spoken word away from popping up before your very eyes. Currently it takes no small measure of work and money to have access to even a modicum of that same fluidity throughout your home. The most a fair number of us could manage right now is having Alexa hooked up to some smart lights that turn on or off when we say so.

Should you be the type of person who is always watching something, then having a screen pop up wherever you’d like would be a venture worth pursuing. Enter in the Beam, a smart projector that will screw into any light socket, and give you a projector wherever you’d like. This means you can watch your favorite show on the kitchen counter while cooking, wake up to the news on the wall by your bed, or watch a movie in the tub.

This is based off of the Pico LED projector which puts out 100 lumens, and has an image size range of 5-150 inches. This will connect with any app that’s on Beam, and you can control it through your smartphone or tablet. This is a $449.99 purchase, which makes it something that you’ll have to think over a bit more thoroughly before jumping into.

The Quad Lock Sports Armband keeps your phone secure but accessible during exercise

Quad Lock Arm Band

When you’re working out, you want to have your smartphone on you to not only track your movement, but to provide you with music so you can stay focused. There’s also the off-chance that you’ll want to post up something on Instagram or Snapchat, so you want a way to keep your phone handy, but secured and out of the way for when you’re on the move. Most of the time this equates to an armband, but if it’s plastic or neoprene, it can be a bit of a bother to get it in and out of the pouch.

The folks at Quad Lock were annoyed enough with this issue that they decided to make this Sports Armband as a solution. This ia a dual-stage locking mechanism that will make sure your phone stays securely on your arm, but will easily come off when you want it to. This fully-adjustable lycra armband will fit arm circumferences of 17-38cm or 6.5-15 inches.

You’ll be able to go from tracking your run to taking a call within seconds, snap your phone back in place and take off again without having to fiddle with nestling it safely into a fabric sleeve. This armband by itself will cost around $37, and you can either buy a QuadLock case specific to your type and size of phone, or just get a universal mount so you don’t have to switch out cases. So long as the locking mechanism truly works, there shouldn’t be any fear of your phone leaping to its death.
