Unboxing posts, from phone reviews to smart-home and wearable setups.
The Huawei P20 series has two variants, the P20 Pro and the P20. The difference is the P20 Pro's triple Leica camera versus the P20's dual. The Pro also adds IP67, a 6.1-inch OLED, 6GB RAM, and a 4,000mAh battery.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is officially available in Singapore today for S$1,098, from Huawei Concept Stores, telcos, Lazada, and electronics retailers like Courts and Harvey Norman. Two colours are offered, Mocha Brown and Midnight Blue.
Homey is a smart home hub from Athom supporting a wide range of wireless technologies. It began as a Kickstarter in May 2014, raising €203,918 from 996 backers, but shipped well past its targeted June 2015 date.
The Huawei Mate 9 ships in a square brown box printed with soy ink, made in Shenzhen, China. The contents are standard: the phone, a cover, earphones, a USB-C charging cable, a SuperCharge charger, and a Micro-USB adapter.
Leagoo is a little-known Chinese smartphone brand under Shenzhen OTEDA Technology. It has launched its first Singapore phone, the Leagoo Shark 1, retailing for S$399 at various mobile retailers, though not yet at telcos. This is the unboxing.
I was seeded the tado Smart AC Control for review, which I'm splitting into two posts: this unboxing and setup, and a follow-up on the experience. In Singapore, tado Smart AC Control is distributed by Aerahaus Smart.
Thanks to Lenovo, I was seeded the Moto 360 (Second Generation) as a Christmas present, choosing the Large 46mm with Cognac Leather at S$549. It went on sale in Singapore on 15th December 2015 across three models.
I received the INQ Mini 3G review set today. Ahead of my full review next week, here are some unboxing photos plus a video of its startup and shutdown animations. Its Facebook and Twitter integration already feels pretty neat.
I've finally received the retail LG GM730. There was earlier commotion among bloggers whose units had old-looking batteries with under twelve hours' standby, and scratches on the phones. Hopefully this retail set fares better.
