I got the Nokia G60 5G smartphone to check out. I am still learning how the Android 12 device works. For a spin I walked the famous Nuremberg Christmas Market using the camera. Impressive and fast are my first impressions. The images turned out to be sharp and vivid.
I will give a full review of the Nokia G60 5G smartphone soon. I am still playing.
A quick first impression of the Xiaomi 10 5G Smartphone. A high-end feel, sharp screen, lightweight Android power device packing great features. Stay Tuned for more details.

A very, very, busy at IFA to say the least. Is the hype around 5G real? I attended the Key Note Address by Qualcomm Head Cristiano Amon turned my head around on the subject. The informative talk gave me a lot of insight. A new industrial revolution could be at hand.
The other keynote address by Huawei’s Richard Yu showed the direction the tech giant brand is headed. The new Kirin Chip is small and fast. Additionally, the debut of new phones in pleasing colours showed the company is moving to challenge Samsung and Apple in the lifestyle tech area. The Freebuds 3 are similar in look to other earbuds. I will report on them later. According to Mr. Yu they are vastly superior.
Stay Tuned for more coverage. A bit overwhelmed by IFA 2019
IFA Berlin started today. The important consumer electronics fair kicked off in the capital city with the theme “Innovation”. Over 1800 exhibitors display gadgets and devices of all shapes and sizes spread over 27 halls.
The overall news in the tech sector is not positive. Sales of certain consumer electronics products have declined due to economic headwinds and market saturation. Smartphones and heavy appliances purchases have slipped. On the positive front, small appliances and gaming machines saw a big increase consumer buys.
On the lighter side, while having lunch I met an Argentine start-up head developing pastry pods. Over the next few days I hope to stop by the stand to try the chocolate recipe. Mr. Cordoba promised me the ingredients are natural and tasty. Baking time takes 10 minutes in a small oven. I am curious . Stay tuned for more on this subject.
IFA Berlin continues until Sept .
I'm still amazed how #smartphones designs continue to lack originality or brand individuality. At least with #Nokia there were exciting #designs & no data worries. #technology #techreview #connected #device #electronics #MondayMotivation #gadgets #Android #iphone pic.twitter.com/kDPIig6CGF

What happened to mobile phone designs? New smartphone designs are the same. They completely lack style. If you have seen one, you have seen them all. I am looking forward when a tech brand breaks the current monotony.
From IFA the Philips Connected Blender
My initial impression of the new Skullcandy Venue Noise Canceling Wireless is favorable. I have not given the headphones the full test yet, this is a first impression. The finish feels premium, snug fit, a bit weighty but not uncomfortable. On the design side, no logo overbranding on the side of the ear pads.
The over ear headphones are simple to use. The headphone controls are located on side of the ear cups, the right side for volume control, the left side on/off control for the active noise button.
The specs are 24 hour battery time with rapid charging technology, five minute charge enables 5 hour battery life.
I tried the ANC features in the sound booth, a complete blackout of all outside noises with good sound quality.
Skullcandy has a reputation of being affordable, streetwise brand moving into the higher end headphone market occupied by many competitiors.
I am looking forward to trying out the new Skullcandy Headphones.
Retail price is 179.00 euros.
So many features, this is not your typical blender.
Stay tuned for the the final.
