Frandroid treated the subject from several angles, to understand and dissect the ins and outs of this unprecedented event:
Garmin unveils three even more precise and autonomous sports watches
Lovers of sports connected watches were delighted to discover a whole new range of products from Garmin. The Fenix 7, 7S and 7X, are intended for outdoor activities and are distinguished from each other by different case sizes, various touch screen options and technologies, as well as a record autonomy capable of climbing up to 135 h with GPS. And for those who would like a similar watch, but with a neater design, Garmin has also introduced the Epix Gen 2.
OnePlus 10 Pro: a first glimpse of its photo quality announces the color
The OnePlus 10 Pro has a Hasselblad-certified camera, which has been tested by a user based in Hong Kong. The main attraction of this little test was obviously the 150-degree ultra-wide-angle sensor. To take advantage of it, however, you must activate a specific mode. Then, we observe a wider field of vision than usual, but many and logical optical distortions.
Get started with the Beats Fit Pro
The Beats Fit Pro arrive in a few days in France. We were able to use them for a month to get a first impression. Their positioning is particular in the range, since they correspond to an evolution of the very good Studio Buds while adopting a design particularly thought out for athletes. All with some features of the famous AirPods Pro.
Video of the week: Oppo Find X5 Pro
