This season Dyson has decided to expand its portfolio of floor cleaning products: in addition to a very light handheld vacuum cleaner (which we have tried) and a new robot vacuum cleanerhas also launched an electric mop that impresses: it is practically a stick. But this ode to minimalism It has a very competent technical sheet, so we have thoroughly tested the Dyson Pencilwash to verify it. Dyson Pencilwash technical sheet Dyson Pencilwash Dimensions and weight 1155 x 267 x 198mm; 2.2kg Deposit 0.34L autonomy 30 minutes (4-cell lithium ion battery) Charging time 3.5 hours cleaning area 100 m² per tank What comes in the box Charging base, wet brush, drip tray and handle price 349 euros Dyson PencilWash, electric mop, Ultra-thin and lightweight handle, motorized roller, hygienic cleaning, stain removal, quick drying, 30-minute autonomy The price could vary. We earn commission from these links I can’t believe so much technology fits in that stick. When I took it out of the box, the first thing I thought was that there were pieces missing. It can’t be that minimalist… and it is: the Dyson PencilWash is an electric mop and on the surface it’s little more than a stick. It comes with a plastic cap to cover the roller when not in use and a stand to keep the stick upright and carry it. If you want to scrub, remove the roller protector, take out the stick and put them together with the brand’s typical assembly that sounds like a clack when you put them together and has a red button to release them. The fit is perfect. My first impression was that it’s crazy that fits all the electronics in a cylinder less than four centimeters in diameter. It may not be as much as in a vacuum cleaner, but at least it has a battery and a motor. Unlike the mop, with a stick that more or less reaches your shoulders, mop and bucket, here we have a stick that reaches my hips (I’m 1.70 m tall), the roller area and little else. On the handle, the brand’s characteristic aluminum in a vibrant color and matte finish is transformed into a plastic cover to improve grip and immediately below, a couple of buttons to start it and choose if you want more or less water and a couple of LEDs that light up when the battery runs out, it is charging or there is a problem. All very intuitive, no need to read instructions. As always, the most interesting thing is in that roller: it is made of an absorbent microfiber (according to the firm, with 64,000 filaments) and has eight hydration points to always be moist. A surprisingly small tank is also integrated into that area for everything it does: provide mopping water and also clean the roller. Everyone knows the scrubbing process, but here it is much simpler, more comfortable and ergonomic: between the light weight being concentrated on the base and the roller practically sliding on its own because it is motorized, with the Dyson PencilWash the effort is limited to minimally holding and directing the handle. It can be done by (almost) anyone and here I’m also talking about accessibility: if for whatever reason you find it difficult to wring the mop or press, here you could scrub using just two fingers. This must be thanked to a format reduced to the minimum, good distribution of the elements and that it barely weighs. In terms of design and ergonomics, Dyson has given a master class. A week scrubbing with the Dyson PencilWash After the first full charge and filling the tank (as easy as lifting the tab and putting the base under the tap), I got ready for my first house cleaning. As I mentioned in the design section, there is no type of power control because the motorized roller goes alone and it is not an exaggeration: if you do not hold it, it pulls forward until it hits something. What you can choose is whether you want to scrub with a normal or high amount of water. With the normal level it is more than enough for standard cleanings. Something that I have noticed and appreciated about the classic mop is that the dosage is so good that moisten the entire soil with a thin uniform layerbut it doesn’t get puddled (something that happens with a mop if you don’t drain it well). So you wet everything but it dries moderately quickly. To properly clean the floor with water is not enough, so even if it is not included (it must be buy it separatelyit is a probiotic cleaner with low foam and it is not exactly cheap), Dyson allows you to add a little cleaning product to the tank. My apartment is 70 square meters and in less than 10 minutes I had cleaned the floor from top to bottom. I go faster than with the mop and I work half as much. By the way, Dyson talks about a half-hour autonomy that is enough to cover 100 square meters and the truth is, I think it has been conservative: I have been able to clean my house twice without the alarm going off, so the battery is not a problem. What you will have to do if you have a larger house is refill the tank: with its capacity I have barely managed to clean my entire house in normal mode with a certain intensity. The elbow between the base and the handle allows the roller head to be placed almost horizontally, which is great for cleaning under furniture, so that in practice at heights it practically competes with a mop. But since it is wider than the mocho, there are places where it doesn’t fit. An example: in the space between the toilet and the bathtub. Here it’s time to grab the mop from time to time. But it’s not only time to recover the mop to deal … Read more

Samsung has just announced its new Samsung Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5Gits mid-range terminals and successors to its most popular smartphones. The key, as it could not be otherwise, is found in software and artificial intelligence. The technical sheet does not change much compared to last year, but Samsung has chosen to offer improvements in terms of usability and functions. Both terminals, as we will see immediately, are very similar to each other. They have a similar size, same screen diagonal and same battery capacity. The fundamental difference is found in the motor and the camera, since the Galaxy A57 5G is somewhat more powerful and “sees” a little better. Technical sheet of the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G Samsung GALAXY A37 5g samsung galaxy a57 5g DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 162.9 x 78.2 x 7.4mm 196 grams 161.5 x 76.8 x 6.9mm 179 grams SCREEN 6.7 inch AMOLED FullHD+ resolution (2,340 x 1,080 pixels) Refresh rate: 120 Hz HBM: 1,200 nits Vision Booster 6.7 inch AMOLED FullHD+ resolution (2,340 x 1,080 pixels) Refresh rate: 120 Hz HBM: 1,200 nits Vision Booster PROCESSOR Samsung Exynos 1480 Samsung Exynos 1680 RAM MEMORY 6GB 8GB INTERNAL storage 128GB 256GB REAR CAMERA Wide 50 MP, f/1.8 Wide angle 8 MP, f/1.8 Macro 5 MP, f/2.4 Wide 50 MP, f/1.8 Wide angle 12 MP, f/1.8 Macro 5 MP, f/2.4 FRONT CAMERA 12MP f/2.2 12MP f/2.2 BATTERY 5,000 mAh 45W fast charging 5,000 mAh 45W fast charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android 16 with One UI 8.5 Six years of updates Android 16 with One UI 8.5 Six years of updates CONNECTIVITY 5G Sub 6 Wi-Fi 6 WiFi direct Tethering NFC USB C 2.0 Bluetooth 5.3 5G Sub 6 WiFi 6E WiFi direct Tethering NFC USB 2.0 Bluetooth v6 others Galaxy AI Samsung Knox IP68 resistance Galaxy AI Samsung Knox IP68 resistance price 389 euros 559 euros This is how Samsung makes money: the secret is in the IPHONE Similar, but not exactly the same Samsung Galaxy A57 5G | Image: Samsung The company has preserved the design lines that it already implemented in the last generation. However, he has managed significantly reduce the thickness of the Galaxy A57as well as its weight. The Galaxy A37 5G is, for its part, identical to the Galaxy A36 5G. For the rest, and at least in appearance, there are no notable changes at first glance beyond the colors. Both devices incorporate a flat, smooth, simple and minimalist back, in line with what is seen in other ranges. As for the screen, same size and technology as last year. Both devices incorporate 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panels with FullHD+ resolution, up to 1,200 nits of maximum brightness and up to 120 Hz refresh rate. Last year, the devices mounted Gorilla Glass Victus crystals, but on this occasion Samsung has not made any mention of said technology in the statement issued to the media. Given what we have seen, we can conclude that the differences between both models in terms of design are size and weight. The Galaxy A37 5G is heavier and somewhat larger than the A57 5G despite having the same screen size, something that is probably due to better use of the front in the higher model. Exynos for everyone and similar cameras Samsung Galaxy A37 5G | Image: Samsung Samsung has once again opted for own processors for your new mobiles. The Galaxy A57 5G has eight gigabytes of RAM memory and a Exynos 1680 eight cores that reach 2.9 GHz, while the Galaxy A37 5G stays with six gigabytes of RAM and a Exynos 1480also octa-core, at a maximum speed of 2.75 GHz. On paper, the power should be enough for everyday tasks and easy use. However, we will have to see how they evolve in the long term. In that sense, both terminals come to the market with Android 16 and One UI 8.5 pre-installed as standard. The most interesting thing is that Samsung talks about “up to six generations of Android operating system and One UI updates, plus up to six years of security updates.” That means that, in theory, these devices should try the honeys of Android 22. Samsung Galaxy A37 5G | Image: Samsung AI plays an important role in these devices. The Korean company has this section well covered and offers functions such as voice transcription in the recorder, object deletion, Circle to Search, filters and editing suggestions, automatic video cropping and the new Bixby. Along with Gemini, Bixby allows you to interact with the mobile phone and its settings by voice, something we saw released on the Galaxy S26 just a few weeks ago. We ended up talking about the camera, where we didn’t find any big surprises. The configuration is similar on both devices, so they both mount a 50 megapixel wide angleand wide angle and a macro. The difference is in the wide-angle resolution, which is 12 megapixels on the A57 and eight megapixels on the A37. Otherwise, equal. The same applies to the selfie camera, which is 12 megapixels on both terminals. Versions and price of the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G The Samsung Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G They can be purchased from April 10. The A57 will arrive in dark blue, gray, light blue and lilac, while the A37 will come in dark green, lavender and white. The prices are as follows: Samsung Galaxy A37 5G 6/128 GB: 389 euros.

To the Apple AirTag One thing happens to them, and that is that you don’t miss them until you can’t use them. That’s just what happened to me a few years ago: after switching to Android, I had to abandon them. I could have continued using them with the iPad, yes, but they lost part of the fun because well, if I lose the backpack in which I carry the AirTag and the iPad, too bad. So I started looking for alternatives. Samsung has its Galaxy SmartTagswhich you can only use (officially) with Samsung phones. Motorola has the Moto Tagwhich are worth 40 euros each; and Chipolo has the same Pop, 35 euros each. Then there are proposals of all colors and shapes on platforms like AliExpress that did not convince. I have literally been thinking since Apple released its AirTags, “when Xiaomi arrives and releases theirs for 15 euros, I’m going to buy them a pallet.” That moment has arrived. We’ll see about buying the pallet, but a few weeks ago Xiaomi announced the Xiaomi Tag and server has already lost it (on purpose) a couple of times to test it and see how it goes. AND spoileris exactly what I was looking for. Xiaomi Tag technical sheet xiaomi tag dimensions and weight 46.5 x 31 x 7.2mm 10 grams connectivity Bluetooth LE 5.4 NFC (Apple Find My only) speaker Piezoelectric buzzer battery Removable CR2030 battery One year of autonomy sensor Accelerometer compatibility Google Android Find Hub: Android 9 or later Apple Find My: iOS 14.5 or later ENDURANCE IP67 PRICE 14.99 euros The price could vary. We earn commission from these links Simple, direct and to the point Xiaomi Tag | Image: Xataka Xiaomi has not heated its head with the design, and it is no wonder. After all, we will only see this product twice: when we take it out of the box and when we find it after losing it. The rest of the time it has to go unnoticed, be light, small and not bothersome. It does that perfectly. So, three aspects to highlight. The first is that it has a physical button on the top that, when pressed, makes it sound. It will be good for us to know if the battery has run out, although the easiest way to find out the remaining battery level is from the Locator app, available in the Google Play Store. The second is that, indeed, it sounds, and quite loudly I must add. If, like me, you often lose your keys at home, with the beep you can easily locate them. The third is that it has a handle on the top that is great to put a keychain on and hang it wherever we want. I used to carry the AirTag in my wallet, but since I have the ID and driving license on mobile The wallet has passed away. So, for this review I have put it on a keychain along with some old keys that I had at home. Like any device of this type, the Xiaomi Tag works with a CR2032 battery. In theory, the autonomy is up to a year, more or less. From my experience with the AirTag I can confirm that this is the case. In any case, you can find these batteries in any establishment, from a neighborhood hardware store to a supermarket, including Amazon. How it works Xiaomi Tag | Image: Xataka Throughout the analysis I will talk about the experience on Android because that is where I have used it, but the Xiaomi Tag is also compatible with iOS. If you have an iPhone, you can use it without problem. You just have to know two things: you can’t use it with Apple and Google networks at the same timeor one or the other; and it doesn’t have UWB technology (ultra wide band). One of the coolest things about AirTags is that, thanks to the Apple U1 chip and UWB technology, when you are close to the lost object it tells you the direction in which you should move to reach it. The Xiaomi Tag lacks this technology and they drink only from Bluetooth. Of course, the Bluetooth of all the Android phones in the world, and that’s where the fun is. The operation of this network is quite simple: Imagine that you lose the keys in which you carry the Xiaomi Tag in the park. Your neighbor Juan, who has an Android phone, passes by your keys. Juan has not seen the keys, but his mobile phone, without Juan knowing it or having to do anything, has detected the Bluetooth Low Energy signal emitted by the Xiaomi Tag. Your mobile sends, after encryption, the location to the Google cloud. Google, through the Locator app, tells you this location and marks it on the map so you know where to find your keys. Xiaomi Tag | Image: Xataka The same thing works in motion. If you leave a backpack on the bus, all the Android phones of all the people who pass by it will detect the Xiaomi Tag and you will be able to see, almost in real time, where it is. As someone who had a suitcase with an AirTag inside lost by a certain airline at the Las Vegas airport, I can confirm that this information can be worth gold. The limitation that these devices have is evident: there must be cell phones nearby. Luckily, in Spain Android is religion with a 70% market share. That is, if you lose the Xiaomi Tag, seven out of every ten mobile phones that pass by will be Android and, therefore, they will collaborate in your search in an anonymized way. Another thing is that you lose it in the middle of the mountain where no one passes by. In that case, you will only be able to see the last known location.

New BMWi3, features, price and technical sheet

by

In six months with the order book open, BMW has collected 50,000 reservations from the BMW iX3. The figure is even more striking if we take into account that the car has arrived exclusively with a single 469 HP engine and a gigantic battery of more than 100 kWh, so its starting price of 69,900 euros is a starting point that will probably fall. The electric SUV was the first car of the New Classthe reset in the BMW electric family that will mark its future. The purely electric platform that promises combustion car ranges, charging powers of 400 kW and a cabin built from the software. Now, it is the BMW i3 that will take over in this New Class that will mark the company’s purely electric future. A car that draws aesthetically from some of its historical sedans but that, again, repeats with a cabin that will surprise the most classic. The most important Series 3 in (many) years The BMW i3 was, in its day, a car ahead of its time. A sort of small electric car, very spacious inside, with electrical technology that was a rarity in the market and a touch typical of BMW. A combination that could only be found in what it was: a laboratory. Today, thanks to those investments in R&D with wheels, BMW has a new i3. One that couldn’t be more different. Because this BMW i3 is already part of the 3 Series range. It will be the first purely electric and it does so with the weight of taking the reins towards the electric car that the Germans have been diversifying but that, forced by Europe, they will have no choice but to prioritize in the coming years in the Old Continent. Almost proportionally sculpted like one of its great successes from the past, the BMW E36, the new BMW i3 arrives with a thin and wide kidney grille, opposite to what we saw in the BMW iX3. Here the horizontal is prioritized over the vertical, unlike in the electric SUV where the verticality of the front was deepened. The shapes tend to be monolithic, with a continuous pilot rear that crosses its entire width. Inside, BMW repeats the formula with its BMW Panoramic iDrive. That is, we have a multifunction steering wheel with touch keys whose icons light up or turn off depending on whether we are driving, parked or moving on a fast lane. The central screen is gigantic, 17.9 incheswith a rhomboid shape to bring the functions on the left side closer to the driver. It combines customizable widgets with the map or any other function we want. But the idea is that the central screen is a mere accompaniment to be accessed from time to time. And the BMW i3 has the thin screen that covers the entire width of the vehicle in the upper area. Instead of a traditional Head-Up Display, BMW has this customizable digital surface to which we can send information about the trip we are taking, the calendar, what is playing on the radio or the corresponding music application or the weather, to give some examples. It is an interior that seems difficult to convince purists. It will try to convince them with its mechanics and battery. As in the case of the electric SUV, the BMW i3 xDrive 50 is the first to hit the market. That is, one of its most powerful versions. Adding its front and rear axle motors, the BMW i3 xDrive 50 comes with 345 kW of power (469 HP) and a torque of 645 Nm. It is accompanied by a battery whose capacity has not yet been revealed, but taking into account that BMW announces a range of more than 900 kilometers (before homologation according to the WLTP cycle) we can expect it to be around or exceed 100 kWh. What we do know is that the car will have 800 volt technology and a charging power of 400 kW, promising to recharge 400 kilometers of autonomy in just 10 minutes. In any case, we will have to wait for more details to have a clear idea of ​​this aspect but one of the best consumption on the market is expected. To manage all the power and dynamism of the car, BMW will have what they call heart of joythe superbrain responsible for controlling the load and energy recovery but also the traction of the wheels or the response of the steering. According to BMW, the response of all the systems involved is 10 times faster than previous systems. BMW wants to make the new i3 the perfect balance between dynamism and consumption to win over those who still have their reservations about the electric car proposals.

OPPO Find N6 – Features, price and technical sheet

by

This year is going to be one of the most important in the folding mobiles. If everything indicates that Apple will present the iPhone Foldthe rest of the brands are not lagging behind: from Motorola with its recent Motorola Razr Fold to the Honor Magic V6. And the one that concerns me, the OPPO Find N6, a mobile that I have been testing for two weeks and that I loved for an aspect that perfectly sums up its character: does not require sacrifices despite being foldable. The phone has just been presented worldwide and comes with a drawback for Europeans: OPPO is not going to distribute it here. And it’s a shame, because I think the Find N6 is the favorite for the throne of Fold-type mobiles. Above all for a characteristic that underlines the absence of sacrifices that I mentioned: his wrinkle is almost imperceptible. OPPO Find N6 technical sheet OPPO Find N6 OUTDOOR SCREEN Exterior: 6.62-inch LTPO OLED Panel Resolution of 2,616 x 1,140 pixels LTPO refresh rate 1-120 Hz 1,800 nits maximum brightness 3,600 nits peak brightness indoor screen 8.12 inch LTPO OLED Panel Resolution of 2,480 x 2,248 pixels LTPO refresh rate 1-120 Hz 1,800 nits maximum brightness 2,500 nits peak brightness DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT Folded: 159.87 x 74.12 x 8.93 mm Unfolded: 159.87 x 145.58 x 4.21 mm 225 grams PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 RAM 16 GB LPDDR5X STORAGE 512GB UFS 4.1 FRONT CAMERA Exterior and interior: 20 MP, f/2.4 REAR CAMERA Main: Samsung ISOCELL HP5, 200 MP, f/1.8, OIS Wide angle: Samsung ISOCELL JN5, 50 MP, f/2.0 Periscopic telephoto: Samsung ISOCELL JN5,50 MP, f/2.7, OIS Multispectral True Color camera, f/2.4 BATTERY 6,000 mAh 80W fast wired charging 50W wireless charging OPERATING SYSTEM Android 16 ColorOS 16 CONNECTIVITY 5G Dual Nano-SIM and eSIM NetworkBoost S1 Chip GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC USB 3.1 OTHERS Side fingerprint reader IP56, IP58 and IP59 certification Zero-Feel Crease Hinge Dual stereo speakers PRICE Unspecified A foldable screen without the worst of folding screens OPPO highlighted zero wrinkles (“Zero Crease”) several times in the presentation of its foldable. The mobile has been developed with a new titanium hinge with a drop-by-drop printed polymer finish that stabilizes the flexible panel in the folding line to smooth its surface. These are the sales pitch and the technical specification. I had to check it. I have tested several folding phones and I know that the wrinkle is something that is already present on the phone even during unboxing. Although it has not yet been used, the small valley through which the fold runs is visible to sight and touch. It then deepens as the phone is used. When I opened the OPPO Find N6 I was surprised to find a practically smooth central surface. The wrinkle was not zerobut the lightest I had ever tried. And it has remained that way during these two weeks: the engineering work carried out by OPPO is impressive. The crest does not disappear completely, the “Zero Crease” thing is somewhat exaggerated. Without being able to ignore the obvious: the wrinkle is almost imperceptible, both to sight and to the touch. The wrinkle is minimally noticeable when you run your finger along the center line. When holding the phone straight there is no visible defectyes a small vertical mark when looking at the screen from the sides. The light creates a slight distortion, but not much more. It doesn’t even affect the content being played. It is very difficult to distinguish the wrinkle from the fold. From the front you can’t even see I have tested most Fold and Flip type foldables, I used the Honor Magic V6 – another of the phones that boasts a minimal folding brand -, and I can say without a doubt that the OPPO Find N6 takes the lead. trophy for best folding panel for its almost missing crest. It represents an improvement in use. It’s not a dramatic improvement, but it is notable. To the touch it is not very noticeable either. The hinge built by OPPO with a titanium base provides an extra addition to the reduction of the fold line: allows you to put the screen at almost any angle. The deployment is firm, offers resistance and does not lose position. Not everything is a screen: power counts The OPPO Find N6 has an 8.12-inch folding panel that not only reduces wrinkles to almost an anecdote, it also allows it to be viewed in all types of conditions, including outdoors. In addition, the body is as thin as it is solid: once folded it looks like an ordinary mobile phone. I have used it as such. Within the sheets of only 4.21 mm, OPPO has snuck the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. The Find N6 is well served in performance, on par with the best of this year. Without experiencing excess temperature, neither playing nor charging the phone. Because what a battery: 6,000 mAh carbon silicon They go away after two days with moderate use. Even when regularly displaying the mobile phone, with the extra energy consumption that a panel twice as large implies. It is very comfortable to use, somewhat complicated to unfold (it is so compact that it makes it difficult to put your fingers in to open the phone), it comes with the software updated to Android 16 and ColorOS 16, does not miss the opportunity to show off AI (with its dedicated button) and even includes a practical infrared emitter to use the OPPO Find N6 as an improvised remote control. The fact that it is a folding mobile phone does not detract from its capabilities, but rather adds to it. A very solid photographic set OPPO maintains the round-shaped photographic module and the collaboration with Hasselblad of the Find N5. The combination is still a triple camera, although now we have a fourth as support for color calibration in shots. This … Read more

I hate cleaning windows, so when I had the opportunity to try a window cleaning robot I didn’t think about it for a second. The Dreame C1 promises to leave your windows spotless, everything controlled from its app. Let’s see how he did. Dreame C1 technical sheet DREAM C1 dimensions 27 x 27 8.5cm WEIGHT 1.6kg cleaning surface Maximum: 2.5 x 4 meters Minimum: 30 x 40 cm SUCTION POWER 5500Pa noise level 63 dBA other details safety cord Five cleaning modes Control via app Cleaning solution tank price 399 euros DREAME C1 Robot Window Cleaner, 5500 Pa Suction Power, Reliable Safety Protection, CornerClean Technology, Thorough Wet Cleaning, Comprehensive Path Planning The price could vary. We earn commission from these links An elegant design I have never used a robot window cleaner, but I have seen photos of a few and without a doubt the Dreame one is the most elegant of everyone. It has a cream-colored design, with a glossy finish on the top and a leather-effect handle so you can hold it safely when placing it on the glass. The robot is completely square and has a weight of 1.6kg, quite reasonable for its size and the type of product it is. Next to the handle is the power button and next to it is the cap through which the cleaning solution is filled. The most cumbersome thing are the cables since they are very long (necessary) and also have two transformers, one of them quite large. It is easy to connect, the cumbersome part comes when it comes to storing it, especially if you try to put it back in its box. Setup and application The start-up of the robot has no secret. Regarding the robot itself, we only have to fill the cleaning solution and place the cloth on the bottom, which is attached with Velcro. Then, as is usual in devices of this type, it is necessary to download an app to control it from the mobile phone and we must also connect it to a WiFi network. The app is also quite simple and allows us to choose the cleaning mode, if we want it to do one or more passes and also choose between deep or quick cleaning. In the case of deep cleaning, the route that follows makes the passes closer together, so that they overlap each time. With fast mode it covers the entire glass, but makes more spaced passes. The cleaning modes are as follows: Complete: to clean entire windows. Borders– The robot focuses on cleaning the perimeter of the window. Area: allows us to manually select the cleaning area. Remote mode: allows us to control it with a crosshead. Cleaning a window The first thing is to turn on the robot from the physical button so that the fans that make it “stick” to the glass turn on. The suction is powerful and it immediately sticks to the surface, the problem is that it is quite noisy. It is understandable, but the worst thing is that the robot gives voice instructions at the same time as it cleans and the noise of the fans often makes it impossible to understand anything. It has two straps that help it move across the surface, four brushes in the corners and the cleaning cloth that covers the entire perimeter. But let’s get to what’s interesting, which is how he leaves the crystals. Just because I don’t like cleaning windows doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate when they’re spotless. I would like to say that the Dreame C1 makes them perfect, but the reality is very different. After taking several passes at the window seen in the photos, both inside and out, you could see quite a few marks that he had left when passing, especially in the corners where the cloth does not reach. One of the problems I see with the Dreame C1 is that it barely uses cleaning solution. Before starting it, I thought it would spray the cleaning solution from the bottom, but it does so through nozzles on the front and the amount that comes out each time is just a few droplets. In the video you can see the problem: it sprays the product when it reaches the middle of the glass, so the cloth has little travel to spread it. In this way, marks are left from the liquid that has not been able to spread near the edges. I also tested it in an apartment in the city and I was more satisfied here. I used it in two large windows with sliding windows that face the street (I don’t include photos so as not to dox me myself) and they get quite dirty. In order to clean them on the outside I have to take them down and they are quite heavy, so it is not very convenient to say the least. Although they weren’t perfect either, the result was much better than they were and the best thing: I I avoided having to disassemble them. As for cleaning time, in all tests I used it with the deep cleaning mode and it was pretty fast. The large window, the one in the photos, measures 180 x 77 cm and cleaned each side in about 4 or 5 minutes. For the sliding windows (90 x 85 cm) it took even less. Another point to keep in mind is that I dreamed only recommends using your own cleaning solution. In the box comes a 230ml bottle and is then sold in 1 liter bottles that cost 24.90 euros. The tank is 80 ml and according to Dreame it lasts for 60 minutes of cleaning, so it should last a long time. Dreame C1, Xataka’s opinion I really wanted to try a window cleaning robot and I admit that I had high expectations, perhaps that’s why my feeling is a little bittersweet. The Dreame C1 It has half reconciled me with cleaning the windows; It doesn’t … Read more

My work desk is, I admit, a battlefield of cables. I have two 27-inch Dell monitors at 1440p, a Huawei MateBook X Pro 2021 with Windows 11, a MacBook Air M4 what I use when I travel and a Mac Mini M4 which is my work team. Additionally, I use a Razer Huntsman keyboard (which by some quirk of fate occupies two USB ports) and a webcam. When NASA needs a cable, they look for it under my table. From time to time, my desk also receives a visit from a camera whose SD card I need to empty quite frequently, and none of my computers have a built-in card reader. More cables and connections. To make matters worse, because of a mess of connectors (only one of the monitors can connect to a Thunderbolt port) when I want to connect the MacBook Air M4 or the Huawei laptop to the monitors I can only take advantage of one of the two. Luckily, since the Mac Mini does have an HDMI port, it is the only one where I can use both screens. In short, a mess of cables, connections and adapters to connect any of my three devices. I had been looking for a solution for this mess of connections for a while and Anker Prime Docking Station 14 in 1 came to my table promising to solve exactly that problem. Connectors for all tastes If I’m honest, the first thing that my old mind thought when I had it in my hand was its resemblance to one of those alarm clock radios from the 90s. However, the first thing you notice when you take it out of the box is the weight: almost 900 grams. That already leaves us some clues that we are not dealing with one of those adapters that people (especially Macbook users) carry in their backpack. This is a serious desk piece, with metal construction and a very premium feel that not only fulfills an aesthetic function, it also helps dissipate some of the heat. The little control wheel on the side of the device is striking. It looks like the crown of a watch and, in a way, takes the idea of ​​controlling some smartwatches to move around the hub interface and access options by pressing it. And then there is the front screen that, although it does not occupy the entire front as one would expect, offers very useful information about the charging power it is supplying, information about the resolution, the type of monitor connector or, simply, the time. I must say, that It’s more useful than it seems at first and I no longer look at the time on the computer bar, but I have surprised myself on more than one occasion looking at the time on the Docking Station. The disposition of the 14 connection ports It is very well thought out. On the back are two HDMIs with 4K support at 60 Hz and a DisplayPort with 8k support at 60 Hz. So, in practice, it allows up to three screens to be connected to the setup. Anker Prime Docking Station (DL7400), 14 DisplayLink Triple Display Ports, 140W max., Smart Display and Fan, up to 8K, for macOS and Windows, Requires updated DisplayLink Driver The price could vary. We earn commission from these links It also has a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, two USB A for data with a transfer rate of 5 Gbps and a third USB A for connecting the keyboard or mouse. In my case, I have used the three ports to connect the Razer keyboard (which uses the two ports) and the webcam. The USB C output port is also located here, which is the one you connect to the computer and offers a charging capacity of up to 140W, so you can take advantage of the fast charging options on gaming laptops or 96W Macbook Pros. Such charging power generates heat in the internal components of the device, so, in addition to the aluminum coating on the exterior, has an internal fan which cannot be heard in the slightest even in a quiet environment. On the front it includes an SD card reader, a microSD slot and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. I have used the latter less because I use Bluetooth headphones and all computers have this very accessible connection. But I find it equally useful because it is very accessible, and to use it you just have to change the audio source to Anker in the computer options. That design logic is exactly what I needed. Have all the connection cables to the monitors, network cable, keyboard and webcam behind, and on the front, have quick access to the charging ports for your mobile phone or upload photos from the camera without having to look for cables or accessories. Connect everything with a single cable However, what undoubtedly seems like a triumph to me is that all the devices are ready to use just by connecting a cable. However, before reaching the magical moment of connection, you have to do your homework: install the DisplayLink driver on each computer that we are going to use with the base. It is not a direct plug and play connection. The software is essential for the monitors to receive the video signal. On Windows the process is quick and frictionless: install the driver software and go. In MacOS, in addition to installing the software, you have to grant screen recording permissions, something that may be striking the first time the notice appears, but it has a technical explanation and we will get to it. Thanks to this software, the brightness and contrast adjustment of the monitors can be controlled from the system taskbar (similar to how Apple monitors appear), without having to navigate through menus or access the monitors’ adjustment buttons. It is a minor detail but it adds up on a day-to-day basis. Once the entire software part was installed, I connected … Read more

iRobot Roomba Mini, features, price and technical sheet

by

There is a new robotic vacuum cleaner on the market. It has arguments, it has style and it comes in a small format. We talk about the new iRobot Roomba Minithe most compact proposal from the American manufacturer—now in the hands of a Chinese firm. Let’s see what has just landed on the Spanish market. If there is one thing that differentiates this product from many of the robots currently available, it is its size. At first glance it is clearly smaller than, for example, the Roomba 105. The robot has a diameter of 24 cm, compared to the 33.5 cm of the model we mentioned. If we look at the base, the difference is also easily perceived: it measures 21.5 cm wide and 27 cm high. Technical sheet of the new iRobot Roomba Mini iRobot Roomba Mini Dimensions and weight Robot (cm): 24.5 (length) x 24.5 (width) x 9.2 (height) Base (cm): 21.2 (length) x 17.8 (width) x 28.5 (height) Robot (kg): 2 Base (kg): 2.03 Suction power 7,000Pa Navigation ClearView LiDAR Carpet detection Brushes Clean dirt, dust and crumbs Scrub Disposable scrubbing cloths with mild aromas (citrus, floral and fresh) 30 included in the box Base The AutoEmpty Base empties itself into an AllergenLock bag and promises up to 90 days of self-cleaning connectivity Wi-Fi. Compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant Price 399 euros A smaller Roomba, but with ambition iRobot claims that the AutoEmpty base takes up 33% less space, something that can be seen with the naked eye. These are not first impressions or an analysis, but we have attended the presentation of the product and have been able to see it up close. And in that context there is something that is clear: the size reduction is evident. The company insists that a more compact format does not mean giving up functions. It is true that there are inevitable limitations due to physical issues, such as tank capacity or battery size, but it is interesting to see how iRobot has tried to balance these variables and, above all, what type of user this product seems to target. According to the metrics used by the manufacturer, the robot can fulfill its function without problems in homes of up to 60 square meters. Regarding autonomy, iRobot has designed the system so that the robot returns to base only when it needs the necessary energy to complete the task at hand. Let’s imagine that the battery starts to run out in the middle of a cleaning routine. In that case, the Roomba Mini will return to the base. But instead of staying there for the two hours necessary to charge the battery to 100% – which is the estimated full charge time – it will only remain there for the necessary time to recover enough energy and finish the job. Once cleaning is complete, it will return to the base to complete charging. This is where the mobile app comes into play. From there we can include or exclude cleaning areas, choose which rooms we want it to clean or set priorities. For example: start in the living room, continue through a specific room and end in the bathroom. The robot is connected directly to the WiFi network, which allows us to send orders from our mobile even when we are not at home. Before cleaning, yes, the robot needs to know the environment. To do this, it uses the ClearView LiDAR navigation system, which promises to generate a quick map of the home and move quickly, avoiding obstacles. Additionally, smart mopping functions automatically detect carpets to avoid wetting them. The Roomba Mini doesn’t just vacuum. You can also scrub. For this use disposable wet cloths which are placed at the bottom of the robot. Each box includes 30 units and later we can buy more in three aromatic variants: citrus, floral and fresh. The AutoEmpty base completes the set. This system automatically empties the robot’s tank into an AllergenLock bag that, according to the manufacturer, can accumulate dirt for up to 90 days of autonomous cleaning. The idea is simple: reduce maintenance and keep dirt contained for longer. Price and availability of the new iRobot Roomba Mini After its launch in Japan and the United Kingdom, the iRobot Roomba Mini now arrives in Spain. The new vacuum cleaner is now available in irobot.es and in the coming days it will also arrive in physical stores. Its price is 399 euros.

Although they already gave a small preview at MWC 2026, it was not until today that Nothing has decided to announce its new batch of smartphones: the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. They are two mid-range terminals that, preserving the design language of the brand that we already know, evolve in materials, colors and specifications to try to differentiate themselves in their price range. The standard model can be reserved from today and its price starts at 349 euros, although it will not be launched until March 13. Reservations for the Pro model, meanwhile, will open on March 13 and the launch will occur at the end of the month, on March 27. The price will start at 479 euros. That said, and with the introductions already made, let’s get to know them a little better.

Their new terminals repeat the move seen in previous years, but it is clear that they are radically different from each other. In size, thickness and weight the difference is not that much, but in finishes they could not be more different. He Nothing Phone (4a) It retains the transparent design and a top camera module, now more centered. The back is made of glass and, in the upper right area, the Glyph Bar. This light bar consists of 63 mini-LEDs spread over seven zones and serves as a progress indicator, fill light on the camera or notification alert. Of course, the SDK is open so that developers can do their thing and squeeze even more into their apps. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro | Image: Nothing The Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is totally different. The company has opted for a daring metal unibody structure with flat surfaces and a thickness of 7.95 millimeters, making it the thinnest Nothing mobile to date. On the right side we have the Glyph Matrix, a system of 137 individually configurable mini-LEDs that reach a brightness of 3,000 nits. It has fewer LEDs than the Nothing Phone (3), which is still the company’s high-end, but it occupies a 57% larger area. When it comes to screens, the only difference is the size. The one on the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is somewhat larger, but in general terms they are almost identical. They share AMOLED LTPS technologythe density of pixels per inch, almost almost the resolution, the touch sampling rate… Now, the Phone (4a) Pro has a slightly higher peak brightness and the refresh rate is 144 Hz instead of 120 Hz. A very similar engine Nothing Phone (4a) | Image: Nothing Both devices share chipset: the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 from Qualcomm. On paper, performance should be very similar on both. Now, there is a substantial difference and that is that the Nothing Phone (4a) mounts LPDDR4x RAM memorywhile his older brother rides LPDDR5x RAM memory. It is somewhat faster and, although on a day-to-day basis the difference should not be excessively noticeable, it should be appreciated in the long term. The internal storage is the same: 128 or 256 GB with UFS 3.1 technology. It is not the fastest or the latest available on the market, but it is more than enough for a terminal in this price range and for everyday use. Nothing Phone (4a) Pro | Image: Nothing As far as software is concerned, Android 16 with Nothing OS 4.1three-year warranty for major updates and six years for security patches. They also incorporate Nothing AI, the suite of artificial intelligence tools more focused on productivity than creativity. The big news, by the way, is support for the cloud, so now we can access what we save in Essential Space from any device. Before talking about the camera, it … Read more
