The new member of the Samsung Gear Fit series, which has gained a good place among the activity tracking devices, is a step forward for the series by closing the gaps in the first device. Smart hour market is narrowing from day to day. Small players gradually leave the market, dominated by big firms. The main reason for the market shrinking is the importance of the activity tracking features rather than the clock characteristics of the users.

As a result, activity tracking wristbands have recently risen in recent times. With its lightweight construction, more affordable prices than smart watches and the ability to tailor detailed activities, smart wristbands have created their own user base. The new version of Gear Fit, the first version of Samsung’s highly acclaimed Gear Fit, completes the shortcomings of the previous device and includes expected features in the series.

The new member of the Samsung Gear Fit series, which has gained a good place among the activity tracking devices, is a step forward for the series by closing the gaps in the first device. The Samsung Gear Fit2 is similar in design to the first Gear Fit. A curved rectangular screen with a curved screen meets us. There are also different measures in the bracelet where different color straps can be used. The belts are perforated so that the device can be adjusted according to everyone. There are two separate keys on the side of the wrist strap. One of these keys functions as a back key. You can switch to the previous screen by pressing this key while in any menu. The other makes it possible to return to the main menu wherever it is. Also note that you can assign a shortcut that can be activated by pressing this key twice.

The device with IP68 certification can withstand water up to 30 minutes at 1.5 meters deep. This means that it can be used in the pool, in the shower, in the rain and for a certain period of time. It is noteworthy that the screen resolution is higher on the device which comes with the smaller screen than the first Gear Fit2. In addition, there is a new barometer sensor in the device that has a stronger processor than the first one.

Thus, heart rhythm measurement, step by step, etc. Measurements, as well as pressure measurements, can be made. Therefore, those who engage in sports such as mountaineering can learn the pressure level and learn about how the weather will be. The stylish level is slightly above the middle and the battery life is 2 days in normal use. According to natural usage habits, this period can be shortened. It takes about 1 hour to charge. Gear Fit2 offered to the user at a price that can be deemed appropriate in consideration of what they can do is useful for those who want to buy activity wristbands as alternatives.

Google has long been on the scene, trying to spread the Android by holding back on the mobile device itself. Google Pixel XL, with Google signature in every detail, is remarkable with its features. Android, which first appeared in 2009, has appeared on numerous brand smartphones to date. Android, which has a different interface in every model, began to show its true potential with Nexus One in 2010. Offering pure Android experience, Nexus devices have come to life in different companies each year.

The Nexus range of devices was always one step ahead of other phones with updates. However, the technology giant was not able to have a say on devices because it was not exactly Google’s phone, no matter what. This was precisely how Google could compete with iOS. It has been said for many years that Google will develop its own phone, but these claims do not come to an end. Finally, Google made the expected breakthrough and drove to the first phone market with its own finger in every field. Google Pixel needs to accept a milestone for the technology giant to move competition to a new dimension. Does Google meet Google Pixel expectations, the most important step in smartphone space? That’s the question that needs to be asked.

Before the touchscreen phones were shipped to the market, the phones were separated by sharp lines from each other in design. But after touchscreen phones were put on the market, it became much more difficult to differentiate in a design sense. Even the slightest resemblance between the devices is enough to attach to the clinic’s wrist. This is why it is so difficult to differentiate.

Although Google Pixel does not make much effort to differentiate, there are details that distinguish it from other devices. When we look at the front, it’s hard to find a distinctive detail in Pixel’s design. It is noteworthy that the lower part of the front of the Pixel, which comes with a giant screen at 5.5 inches QHD resolution, is left blank. It’s surprising that Google moved the menu keys to the bottom of the screen virtually, leaving this place blank. The sound is on and off on the right side.

When we get to the rear, Pixel’s unique design meets us. The back of the device is divided into two parts, bright and matte. At the top is a fingerprint reader and camera. The matte bottom does not have anything except antenna stripes and the Google Pixel logo. The shiny structure of the top makes it easy to scratch. The fact that the phone is thick makes it impossible for the camera to come out. Though the thickness is a minus, we can say a positive detail for those who do not like camera projection. On the bottom of the charger, the headphone jack is on top. The fingerprint reader on the back of the device performs well. The sensor works very fast, and it works great right there. Just reading a fingerprint without having to press any key is enough to turn on the device. In addition, the fingerprint reader scrolls down to quickly access the notification panel.

Every kind of electronic device we use at home is getting smarter. So being able to control them in the best way also becomes a serious priority. The Microsoft All-in-one keyboard offers wireless USB connectivity and a trackpad that makes it easy to use, from smartphones to gaming consoles. The Microsoft All-in-one keyboard, which is marketed only with the black color option, draws attention with its smaller size than the keyboards we are used to in everyday life. This situation initially causes a somewhat longer use of the process of getting used to. After this process, users are expected to have a very comfortable writing experience.

While designing the device, the space between the keys is narrowed, it does not seem to bother the user. In addition, the preferred key height prevents excessive sound from being produced when writing; The noise situation that disturbs the people around when the quick writing is written is removed. Compatible with many different styles, All-in-one works with the most comfortable Windows operating system of course. When you plug in the USB receiver to your computer, the pairing is done quickly and it is possible to process from our new keyboard. When you do the same with a MacBook Pro, for example, you have to work harder.

Microsoft already offers functionality limited to Mac OS X from the very beginning. This limited functionality is obvious when you use the trackpad rather than the writing. It is possible to write very smoothly after the necessary installation, the trackpad does not move as fast as desired. Of course, it should be noted that although the keyboard is Microsoft-branded, it supports Apple-specific shortcuts after connecting to MacOS devices.

If you want to use the keyboard with a Smart TV, your job is easy here. If the USB receiver is plugged in, the keyboard is immediately detected and your television is moving to another size. There is absolutely no fluency problem in use that we mentioned earlier on Macs. Something that is the biggest problem of Smart TVs makes it very comfortable to write. You can feel like converting your TV into a computer by just taking a keyboard. Many options such as searching the Internet, searching and selecting content to watch in select-watch applications, making video calls on YouTube, playing games on Smart TVs are now more practical.

If you use your computer to write a lot of text you can see your work comfortably, but we have to remember that there is not a keyboard designed for office work. Are you a user who likes to play games occasionally? All-in-one will see your business if you choose a strategy game in the style of Civilization. Otherwise, you should not expect much performance from this keyboard, which does not have the gaming keyboard allegation. Trackpad offers the greatest convenience on Smart TVs. When we plug the device into the TV, a small mouse cursor appears on the screen. This allows us to reach the things we watch without enduring the control over the torch. With the help of the trackpad, pulling, scrolling, and zooming come to our fingertips as if they were on smartphones.

Sony a7R II and a7S II are highly acclaimed by Sony, and the success of the new A99 II is justified. Let’s talk about design before PerformanceAnn presented by the maker of 42K megapixel full frame sensor and 4K video capability that we are accustomed to from Sony’s top segment cameras. Although the number of compact cameras has increased in recent times, the size of the interest in DSLR machines is also high. Sony has developed the a99 II in this direction with the focus of DSLR enthusiasts. From the design of the machine, it is possible to say that it has a great similarity with the a99 model. On the upper left of the a99 II, where a magnesium alloy body is preferred, there is a shooting mode ring on which you can adjust the shooting modes and press and lock.

The Sony a99 II does not have a built-in flash, just like it does on other high end cameras in the market. Especially if you are shooting in low light, you can choose Sony’s optional flashes using the hot shoe socket on the machine. If you are planning to shoot in the studio, you can connect an external light source to the machine using the flash connection on the left side of the machine. The ergonomics of the a99 II is very successful. Unlike the a99 II, E-Mount systems, which have won the accolade thanks to the quick focus system, the A-Mount type system is the answer. Let’s talk briefly about what these systems are if you want. Sony produces interchangeable lens cameras with E-Mount that does not use reflex mirrors or A-Mount with advanced full-aperture mirrors. E mount cameras, with their portability, while A-Mount machines are more noticeable for professional users. Come back to the photo quality of the machine that the reflex mirror is located between the back of the lens and the sensor. Sony’s new flagship machine, with the high-megapixel value as in the A7R II, is very detailed.

The Sony a99 II also carries magnificent photo performance in the same direction in video quality. Just as Sony is on the market for other top segment machines, the a99 II also supports professional quality S-Log3 and S-Log2 profiles for video recording. Offering a good tonal production to the mid-tone in the shadows, these profiles emphasize and help to control more on the shadows. The a99 II can record 4K videos at 100 Mbps in addition to Full HD video recording. Of course, it is useful to mention that you should use a very fast SD card when selecting this video setting. If you have a slow card, the machine can record 60 Mbps 4K video instead of 100 Mbps. It can play video at 120 frames per second in full HD resolution, and can also transfer wireless images to mobile devices via Wi-Fi and NFC connections. The Sony a99 II meets all expectations of photographers with both photo and video quality.

Canon EOS M6 offers a DSLR photo experience in a compact body. Canon, unfortunately, had not been able to give the photo enthusiast what he wanted with the EOS M, the first machine in the family, about 5 years ago. Especially because of the slowness in the autofocus system, EOS M suffered quite a lot of users. The company later released a solution to this problem with the software, but the Canon EOS M was disappointing. Later on, Canon, which achieved success by selling EOS M2, M3, M10 and M5 models, is confronted with its new machine EOS M6. Having left behind all the problems experienced at the EOS M, Canon also carries on the powerful performance offered by the other top segment cameras with the new compact mirrorless EOS M6.

We can say that the M6, which is lighter at the same time from the EOS M5, which targets more professionals, will be preferred by those who care about both portability and performance. The machine that Canon sends to our office has a black color, but the silver color of the EOS M6 is also available. On the upper part of the rangefinder-type mirrorless machine with metal body, there are 12 different shooting modes including manual and automatic, a wheel that enables you to adjust the exposure compensation, a power button, and a shutter button. The power on/off button on the machine is located just below the exposure compensation wheel.

On the right side is a button for HDMI and a wireless connection, and on the left side of the machine is a flash button, microphone and USB connections. SD card entry is under the EOS M6. When we look at the ergonomics of the EOS M6, we are not as successful as the other mirrorless compact machines on the market. If you are a DSLR user, you may have difficulty using it at first in the compact body of the EOS M6.

The Canon EOS M6 uses the Dual Pixel autofocus system as is the case with the EOS 800D and EOS 77D models. With this system, the machine can detect fast moving objects quickly and accurately. Let’s just say that the speedy autofocus performance offered by the machine has also benefited us. Another feature of the Canon EOS M6 is its 5-axis digital image stabilization. This system, which has recently come to light in most photographic machines, aims to avoid the jolts that can occur in photographs and videotapes. This makes it possible to take higher quality pictures in low light.

The 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor is preferred, and the low light performance of the machine varies depending on your lens preference. It is also possible to choose the EF-M 15-45mm f / 3.5-6.3 IS STM lens on the machine which achieves highly successful frames at aperture values of F / 1.8 or F / 2.8. Despite the fact that it is a small camera, the EOS M6 still delivers the performance of a successful photo. Although it does not support 4K video recording, it is possible to perform 60 frames full HD video recording on the camera at the moment.
