geek'ish ...
smartring with bone conduction and 2 mic ... (plus gestures ) if it was not 69chf instead of 219chf i would probably not have bought it compulsively ...
but it work quite well and that's surprisingly fun to use, BT5.0 BLE 50mAh battery 1hrs communication max duration (you never use it that long thus it will hold the whole day) it can read my messages with the phone in the pocket and can use it for a "ok google" without everyones staring at me ... (the mics can pick up quite low whisper and unless volume at max, it's impossible to hear the ring vibrating and thus making sounds )
got a TCL 10 Pro (contract renewal ) my phone carrier had it for ~399$ instead of the msrp of 449$ (surprising ... ) i set up a delivery date that they did not uphold thus they did sent me a little extra (to be continued) mid range SOC (Snappy 675) 1200$ flagship construction and design... 6gb/128gb model with a 256gb uSD, i had lying around, already in (i think i should have enough storage ) 6.47 AMOLED curved edge screen (gorilla glass 5 ) with inscreen fingerprint ID (a bit slower than a capacitif but works fine) mat finish back with forest mist color (gorilla glass 5 too but,hum ... shimering emerald maybe .... forest mist sound a bit ... off ) quad AI camera 64mp dual flash with NO BUMP!, still a 3.5mm jack (!!!) plus a IR blaster ... free silicone case (quite thick)
after some day with it ... i find really hard to believe it runs on a Snappy 675 ... my previous phone SOC, a Kirin 980 which equal easily to a Snappy 855, felt quite the same and the AMOLED in house screen is so bloody freaking responsive and smooth in games that it is also hard to believe it's "only" a 60hz
no IP68, but still can hold a little splashing without any pain ... and IP68 phone are marketed wrong : ip68=/=waterproof ... specially not in a pool or at sea where the chlorine and salt, which is a chlorure, will eat the seals ... IP69K which is the highest rank on the Ingress Protection (IP) like a GoPro (in the 100m case, although they are quite resiliant and do well without) or a rugged phone is waterproof ... but not the 1200$ flagship who are marketed as such
the following, since my phone carrier took 5 day too much on a delivery they sent me the TWS buds that they did bundle in the next offer for free ... 179$~ value
Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro ... well what the HECK! Anker? HiFi audio? what the HECK! at that price? aptX? balanced armature from Knowles? full sounding dynamic driver?sound reduction on call on 4 mics? 32hrs total playtime? USB-C plus Qi charging compatible? what the HECK! i can replace the Fiio FA1 (single BA) and the Sesh (single DD) and given how good they sound with the music type i listen ... ohhhh joy (plus the app with custom EQ with frequencies test based on your hearing is damn awesome ... or you can use presets and also customize how the 2 physical button act )
and even the box material and quality scream "HIGH END!!!" ... from Anker? what the CAKE!
ah yes one cons i saw in the reviews of it ... "no ANC" ... [joke]ANC is for hipster that have [censored] headphone/buds with poor sound isolation [/joke]... (ambient passthru on the other hand ... could have been practical ... )
worth the wait ... now another wait is on : download wait
