The Mi Band is an extremely simple and no frills fitness tracker, it doesn’t have a heart rate sensor or UV sensor, it simply is a rectangular oval shaped thing similarly sized to an eraser, it has a built-in pedometer, vibrator and 3 LED lights that shows the device’s battery status or any incoming notifications. The Mi Band Bracelet is also IP67 certified water resistant so you shouldn’t have problems wearing it in the pool or shower.
The Mi Band app is very MIUI themed and that’s a good thing for Xiaomi users, it offers a dashboard for showing your steps, sleeping hours and a list of achievements you’ve done for the day and past week. The Mi Band is easy to use in most ways and it certainly won’t confuse you, the only problem that we had encountered was localization issues.
If you head on to the activities page, you’ll find weird direct translations such as ‘Running help’ a.k.a Running Tracker, and there are ome Chinese characters down below which will cause difficulties to the user, not to forget to mention that there’s only social integration with WeChat at this point of time.
While most people would buy a fitness tracker for running purposes, the ‘Running help’ feature in the Mi Band app unfortunately only supports Gao De Maps instead of our commonly used Google Maps, lets face it, the Mi Band has been out in the market for a while and it isn’t really difficult for developers to implement an international version of the app. I personally know Chinese and won’t have much problems with the software, but if you’re familiar with how a real fitness tracker should work, you will be disappointed with the Mi Band as it totally fails to track your walking steps properly and sleep pattern even though I wear it to sleep at night.
The only thing that works really well is how the Xiaomi Mi Band is able to act as a security device for your Xiaomi smartphone and its by far the best security implementation that we’ve seen on a smartphone which doesn’t require you to save your fingerprints.

Elephone has introduced the G7, the thinnest smartphone in its own house. To finally get to the point: It is 5.5 millimeters thick or thin. This is quite remarkable, making it one of the thinnest smartphones, the G7 can be bought now.
The trend towards thin devices can presently be seen everywhere. Of course you have to make compromises but then. Unfortunately, these compromises fall in Elephone G7 pretty clear. For use unfortunately is not a 64 bit chip, but only a MT6592M SoC Mediatek, which is not really up to date in light of the new generation of MediaTek chips. Not-to-date is also the small memory of only one gigabyte, which is almost always a knock-out criterion. After all, the battery 2.650mAh is relatively large - at least that's the official statement. The display is 5.5 inches tall, but only offers 720p resolution. Despite the bad specifications of the Elephone G7 cost around 120 euros, which is for the performance offered quite a lot, given the small thickness, however, is bearable.
So for the small thickness of the smartphone you have to take a bad processor, low memory and a lack of LTE support in purchasing. Considering that Elephone offers with the P6000 and the Elephone P3000S much better equipped devices at a similar price, the G7 is a pretty poor choice in my opinion. Here Elephone times should penetrate reconsider its own portfolio. It almost seems as if there would slowly lose even through the wide and colorful to the market, to keep track.

The T5 is a large device it has a diameter of 37mm and a 110mm length I find  it odd that they only managed to fit 1 18650 inside the casing.
The T5 display is bright and clear you get information about the resistance of your coil, the voltage the device is firing at to produce the wattage set and a battery display which is in percentage and a sun dial. The battery display on the T5 is a weak point it does not read accurate it goes down stupidly fast then still vapes when showing 0% the firmware upgrade was meant to sort this problem.
The Cloupor T5 (http://www.cigabuy.com/cloupor-t5-50w-18650-tube-apv-mod-p-6217.html ) has up and down buttons below the display for setting the required wattage. The resistance measurement is accurate and it is stable so the T5 produces the same vape every fire which is a good point.
The T5 does vape well but at the same time it has it’s problems. Clouper made big statements when selling this unit about the firmware being upgradeable just look at their website it listed as one of the main features of the T5. It has annoyed me a little that they are no longer plan to release a new firmware I would like them to still be working on a small update to improve the battery display and the problem with the device turning it’s self off every so often. I am not concerned with getting increased power and a changeable boot screen but I would like the device to run correctly.
The vape which the T5 delivers is dexcellent but it is a large device to only contain a single 18650 battery overall I do like the T5 it’s a lot better than my IPV2 for reason’s expained earlier in this review but my ZNA30 is better it’s a lot smaller and with an 18650 battery tube a full charge last about the same time in both devices at the same power. If you really must have 50 watts or more I would wait for my reviews coming up on the GI2 or ZNA50 or look elsewhere at the Cloupor T6 or Cloupor T8 from Cloupor I notice they are not adverttising them as having upgradable firmware.

INew L1 Smartphone (http://www.tinydeal.com/inew-l1-53-hd-gorilla-glass-4-core-android-44-4g-lte-phone-p-142071.html ) 4G LTE FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE supports various bands and supports mutiple languages.

The display of INew L1 is a large screen that Sony can offer a wider viewing area with the large size and narrow bezel. High resolution 720p can bring better display effect.
INew L1 cell with 4G is equipped with a camera of 13MP Sony that can bring clear picture and supports face detection, smile shot, HDR, continuous shot, panorama and many other shooting functions.
The departure of the black bezel and white back shell is looks more elegant. The circular arc at both ends for up and down causes the lines of the entire machine becomes softer. The arch design on the back shell brings better hand feeling.
