Doro 8020X Review | Rugged Smart Phone

I just have to wonder if the design of the hinge and the display connection (ribbon cable) will hold up batter than they did with Psion 5, which was rather notorious for those being the weakest links in terms of hardware.

For those not familiar with the technology, liveness detection does pretty much what it sounds like: it determines that a user is a living being before unlocking a device or app. All sensors must include anti-spoofing measures like liveness detection, but the configuration of these anti-spoofing features is optional and varies with different systems.

One of the things you get used to as a drone pilot is the attention. Mostly it’s just curiosity from folks passing by, but sometimes flying can be an uncomfortable experience. DJI have attempted to partially solve that problem with the introduction of low noise props. But with the Osmo range it’s clear the company wants to appeal to ground-based camera creatives, too, and offer an alternative way to capture moments for when flying isn’t the best option.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that there are Microsoft Store versions of some of my favorite apps.

Google Glass teased an interesting future, but failed to deliver on its promise. Today, Toshiba picks up where Glass left off, with a pair of Augmented Reality (AR) glasses powered by a mini Windows 10 PC.

Since the 1950s, lasers have done a fine job scanning one-dimensional bar codes. But, that’s about all they can do. Bryan Sellars, national product manager of presence detection for SICK, says an accelerating migration toward image capture and vision-based bar code reading offers significantly greater functionality. Concurrently, greater adoption of two-dimensional (2D) bar codes, which can encode more information in a smaller printed area and do not require consistent orientation, is underway.

On the connectivity side of the equation, things are much more solid. All of the built-in radios perform as well as can be expected but it is worth pointing out that there’s no NFC connectivity with this smartphone. On the other hand, we also weren’t able to test a 2G, 3G, or 4G connection due to incompatibility with our test carrier in the US. The quality of the earpiece and speakerphone was tested using a call over Wi-Fi. Both audio devices and the microphone performed as well as nearly any other smartphone in any price bracket. But prospective buyers will want to check the bands below to ensure compatibility with their service provider before making a purchase.

It makes sense! Phones can get addictive. It’s the same reason devices like the Palm Phone and connected smartwatches even exist. However, those still need to pair with a more capable device. The Unihertz Atom is an Android handset that can operate as your primary smartphone. With dual-SIM capabilities, it could even replace a couple handsets.

Solutions that are intuitive and familiar will improve onboarding and retention—both of which are critical in a tight labor market.

Many of the dual SIM phones we’ve seen recently could either use two SIMs or one and a microSD card, but this design can accept all three simultaneously, which is good to see.

Spend a few minutes with Windows 10 S and you may be surprised at just how much it feels like, well… Windows.
