How far would you go to recreate the feeling you got playing video games as a child? Based on the general love and admiration for Analogue, a company that makes sleek new consoles for playing old games, there are a lot of us who would pay handsomely for the chance. The company’s newest device, the Analogue Pocket, finally extends that deeply detailed love to the early portable consoles of the 1990s and 2000s. It plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges out of the box. An optional adapter allows it to play Game Gear carts and, in time, the Atari Lynx and Neo Geo Pocket Color.

Like Analogue’s Super NT and Mega SG, which play Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games, respectively, the Analogue Pocket offers a masterful adaptation of old-school technology adapted with and, in many ways, enhanced by modern design sensibilities. The $220 retro console goes to great lengths to let you recreate the experience of playing Game Boy games on a Game Boy-like device. At the same time, it introduces new luxuries, including save states, modern display settings, and the ability to play on a modern TV using the optional dock. It’s an extremely impressive piece of equipment. It can also be used to make music—and is easily the best device way to play the portable games of generations past, whether you display your collection prominently or have it stashed in a basement or closet.

Is the Analogue Pocket a Game Boy?

The Analogue Pocket evokes the original Game Boy, without trying to imitate it. Measuring 3.5 by 0.88 by 5.84 inches (WDH), it’s smaller than the actual Game Boy, closer to the size of the Game Boy Color, but the overall design is similar. The rectangular plastic console body has the same rounded bottom corners and sharp top corners as the original. Its 3.5-inch 1660 x 1440p LCD display has the same thick bezel. When you play it, you really feel like you’re holding a Game Boy from the ‘90s.

Between the fact that it supports a wide array of consoles and a host of new features, it isn’t actually identical. The Analogue Pocket has the full input set for the Game Boy Advance, including four face buttons, a four-way D-pad, and two triggers. The front also has a trio of system-level buttons, the classic start and select buttons, plus a logo-laden home button. On the side, you have a two-part rocker for controlling volume, plus a power button.

The Analogue Pocket has all the buttons you need to play games from many old-school handheld consoles. Mike Epstein

There are also more ports than you might expect. On the back, of course, you have a wide, open cartridge slot—It’s larger than you might remember if you haven’t touched an old handheld in a while. On the sides, you have a pair of very noticeable speakers, as well as a MicroSD card slot, which you’ll need to install software updates. (Installing firmware this way is time-consuming but Analogue plans to make it possible to update the console via USB in the future.) On the bottom, there’s a USB-C port for charging, a 3.5mm analog headphone, and, amazingly, a classic Game Boy Link Cable port, allowing you to play multiplayer Game Boy games the old-fashioned way.

What makes the Analogue Pocket so special, then?

Super Mario Land in its original, green glory. Mike Epstein

Analogue achieves a higher level of technical accuracy through a computer chip called a field-programmed gate array, or FPGA, which can be configured and reconfigured after its manufacture. For the Analogue Pocket, as well as Analogue’s previous retro-facing consoles, the chip is used to reproduce the hardware inside old game consoles at the hardware level, rather than using a piece of emulation software to make old game files compatible with new machines.

For game preservationists, for the deeply nostalgic, and, yes, eccentric perfectionists, the FPGA gets you “closer to the metal.” It is, realistically, the closest you can get to a perfect recreation of playing these games on the original hardware without buying the old consoles, which can be hard to find in working condition. As someone with a childhood filled with old games, there’s comfort in knowing that there will still be ways to keep playing these cartridges after all of those machines eventually die.

Okay … but it works just like a Game Boy, right?

More or less. For the three consoles it supports by default, you simply plug the cartridge in, same as the original systems. When you turn the Analogue Pocket on, it brings you to a home screen in AnalogueOS, a bespoke operating system where you can choose to play the inserted cart, run a compatible game on an SD card, or adjust settings. You can set the console to boot up the cart when it turns on, though, to more accurately recreate the Game Boy experience.

Once you turn on a game, it plays just like it would have on the original hardware. All the games I tried across the Game Boy lineage played perfectly, without noticeable input lag or any visual issues. (A pro tip, should you choose to buy one: Make sure to clean your cartridges before playing if they’ve been in storage. The console seems fairly sensitive to dust and some of my games drew AnalogueOS system error screens on boot up until after they’d been cleaned.)

Plug your cartridges into the Pocket, just like you would an old-school handheld. Mike Epstein

There are a few extra little quality-of-life features you can access, like the ability to create a save state or put the console in sleep mode so you can stop playing without losing your place. This is a standard feature for emulators and other retro machines at this point, but it’s worth noting because it dramatically changes how you interface the console and its games. In a smartphone-enabled world, restarting a game from scratch every time you turn the machine on would be insufferable for most people.

For preservationists and historically curious, the Analogue features sound and display settings, which replicate how games would look on different versions of various consoles. For example, when playing a Game Boy Advance game, you can use the default display, a display that replicates the picture from the original Game Boy Advance’s LCD display, or a version that replicates the brighter, backlit screen from the Game Boy Advance SP. Likewise, you have the option to play the original audio or allow the console to “enhance” it. The console’s “enhanced” audio varies much more from game to game than the modernized “default” display setting, which generally looks brighter and sharper than the retro reproduction modes. In a few cases, the audio sounds slightly cleaner. In others, you can’t really hear a difference.

Analogue Pocket: Original GBA display mode

Analogue Pocket: GBA SP display mode

The Analogue Pocket can replicate how games would look on different versions of each console generation.

Battery life is a slight weak point for the Pocket, at least on paper. According to Analogue, you should expect to get “over 6 hours” of gameplay time on a single charge under optimal conditions. In practice, I found it lasted somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-7 hours on a charge, though those numbers can be deceiving, depending on whether you play for long stretches or short bursts.

And there’s more to come

Analogue also has larger plans for AnalogueOS, the operating system at the heart of the Pocket. There are a few features the company promised and are on its roadmap, but aren’t available yet. First and foremost, a reference tool called the “Library” will offer a Wiki database of information about the games that the console’s designed to play. You will also have the ability to create your own custom catalog of your games, as well as playlists of games you like.

Analogue has also committed to some technical improvements, including the aforementioned ability to update the console’s firmware via USB or the optional Analog Pocket Dock.

Analogue Pocket accessories

If there’s one flaw to the Analogue Pocket, it’s the fact that you need to buy a fair number of optional accessories to get the complete experience. First and foremost, there are the adapters: In addition to playing the first three Nintendo handheld consoles—Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance—the Pocket can run Sega Game Gear, TurboGrafx-16 Atari Lynx, and Neo Geo Pocket Color games, but only with special adapters that cost $29.99 per console. There are also Pocket-to-MIDI cables to support the console’s music production features; these cost $19.99 per cable. It makes sense that these niche peripherals aren’t included in the core package, but they heap a lot of extra cost on top of an already-expensive device, especially for those who primarily care about the optional, adapter-enabled console libraries.

There is one peripheral, though, that probably should have come with the console. The Analogue Pocket Dock is a charging cradle and hub that allows you to connect the portable console to a modern TV to play in 1080p via HDMI. It also allows you to connect both wired and wireless controllers via USB and Bluetooth, respectively. (It will also, eventually, be the easiest way to update the console.) On its own, the dock costs $99.99, nearly half the price of the console itself.

The Analogue Pocket Dock lets you plug the console into a TV and use a controller, but costs an extra $100. Mike Epstein

You could argue that the dock is gravy: None of these consoles could dock to a TV or monitor, so why should that come standard? But, given the console’s preservationist mission and the need to interface with a PC, it feels like a disservice to tell people that these aspects of the device are optional. The dock enables the ability to stream your games, arguably a necessity for modern consoles. It also gives you the ability to easily get up close and personal with these games on a larger screen, another basic amenity of many other cartridge- and ROM-based emulators. The dock is carefully constructed; worth the money if you’re inclined to buy it. But It seems a shame that there will be users who don’t get to indulge in those aspects of the experience.

What else does the Analogue Pocket do?

In addition to playing cartridges, the Analogue Pocket has two features that facilitate niche cultural pursuits. First, in addition to playing cartridges, the Analogue SP can play new independent games made to run on it using a free game development tool called GB Studio. You can download those games on a PC and transfer them to the console using a MicroSD card. This opens the door to play new, amateur-made games, which is very neat. But, more importantly, it opens the door for people to make games and play them on a game console, which I think (or at least hope) could be an eye-opening experience for aspiring designers.

Nanoloop, a synthesizer app on the Pocket, lets you create music. Mike Epstein

Second, the Pocket features a synthesizer and sequencer app called Nanoloop, which allows you to create and record music. Using optional Pocket-to-MIDi cables, you can connect the console to a keyboard, MIDI controller, or another device to make beats or samples for larger audio projects.

With very little electronic music-making experience of my own, I’m not going to speak much to Nanoloop’s utility. Personally, I found the basic system for laying down notes to be very intuitive … up until the point where you want to play multiple kinds of sounds. Then the Game Boy interface seems to complicate things.

So, who should buy the Analogue Pocket?

The Analogue Pocket is a huge get for retro collectors and enthusiasts. Mike Epstein

At $220, the Analogue Pocket system is among the most expensive devices out there for playing the portable games it supports, but it is undoubtedly the best. It’s sleek, works well, and features modern conveniences that make the experience of playing retro games less temperamental than using a 30-year-old Game Boy. And for preservationists who, like audiophiles, crave the most precise replication of the original gaming experience possible, the Analogue will get you very close to that place. Retro gaming and collecting, particularly from this era, is an expensive hobby. If you’re going to get into it, you may as well buy a console that will let you savor that playtime as much as possible.

3M Mpro120 Pocket Projector Review

3M MPro120 Pocket Projector Review

We’ve reviewed our fair share of pico-projectors here at SlashGear, and while they’ve often had impressive aspects to their performance, there’s been nothing that pushed them out of “expensive toy” and into “must-have accessory”. 3M are hoping that their latest model does just that: the 3M MPro120 is the company’s second-generation attempt at the pico platform, using a new LCoS imager and four times the battery life. Can it earn a permanent place in our bag? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Compared to the MPro110, its first-gen predecessor, the MPro120 is larger and better put together. It also gains a voice – in the shape of integrated stereo speakers – and a chunkier battery, promising around four hours of runtime versus the 110’s measly single hour. In terms of design, the 120 is far more visually appealing, too, with a matte-finish plastic case bisected by a glossy button strip. Hardware controls include power, brightness, battery status and volume, together with a firm but not too tricky focus dial up front by the lens.

Underneath there’s a standard tripod bush for use with either the included bendy-legged mini-tripod or your own, together with a neat flip-down stand that can be used for more impromptu setups where you just want to angle the MPro120 up slightly. On the back there’s the DC power input – the Li-Poly battery can be charged and the MPro120 used simultaneously – and the A/V port. 3M supply various adapters for the AC plug, suitable for travelling, together with both a composite video cable for use with a standard source (plus RCA converters so you can plug, say, an iPod A/V output cable directly into the MPro120) and a VGA adapter cable for plugging in a notebook or netbook.

Setup is straightforward, and instantly benefits from both the better quality build and the new optics. The focus dial is less prone to drift than on other pico projectors we’ve used, but doesn’t go so far to the other extreme that it’s impossible to tweak without jerking the MPro120 all around the table. Meanwhile the new LCoS (liquid-crystal on silicon) optics require less space in order to create a bigger picture, so you’ll see a larger 640 x 480 VGA-sized projection than the MPro110 at the same distance. You might lack the resolution of a 32-inch HDTV, but you can readily achieve the scale in a smallish room, making the MPro120 ideal for hotel rooms and the like.

With a mere 0.5W from each stereo channel, the MPro120’s speakers aren’t exactly setting out to knock you off your feet. There’s no 3.5mm headphone socket, but given 3M haven’t granted the pico an onboard media player, as on some of the rival projectors we’ve seen, that’s not likely to be too much of an issue. Sound quality, though, is pretty loud all things considered, and while at the top end there’s increasing amounts of distortion, the MPro120 does a decent job keeping up with film soundtracks.

Also keeping up is the new battery, which offers two power settings. If you want to get close to 3M’s four hour prediction you’ll need to leave the MPro120 in “normal brightness” and play it cool with the speaker volume; “high brightness” mode, meanwhile, will drain the pico in half the time. Still, we came close to 3M’s suggested times in both settings, either of which is enough for a good few episodes of your favorite TV show download or even a feature film. Since you can run the MPro120 while recharging it – something sadly lacking in some rivals – battery life needn’t be an issue if you’re near an AC point.

Sample shot:

Despite a mere 12 lumens of brightness and its limited resolution, the MPro120 puts up a decent fight. Presentations lack some clarity around smaller text, but faster moving scenes and bright colors are both handled well. Darker colors and areas of strong shadow continue to be a problem, with murky greys more likely than true inky blackness, but it’s certainly ahead of many other picos.

At $350, though, it’s still priced as a luxury, and one we reckon few will be able to justify. What’s hopeful is the fact that the MPro120 is light-years ahead of its predecessor, and yet the pico manufacturers are still telling us that technologies like LCoS – as well as other systems – are still in their infancy. We won’t see 1080p any time soon, but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility to expect twice the resolution offered by the MPro120 in devices arriving next year. Still, if you want a pico projector that’s capable of both notebook content and A/V, with impressive battery performance and build quality to the point where you’re happy to dump it in your laptop bag and not worry it will have fallen apart, the 3M MPro120 projector ticks all our boxes.

How To Keep Your Kids’ Videos Out Of Your Youtube History

Even if you don’t have kids, this scenario is a familiar one. You’re out somewhere, a restaurant, a supermarket, an Ikea, when suddenly a young child starts going nuts. Despite the best efforts of the parents to calm the child down, the kid just isn’t having it. As the kicking and screaming intensifies, the end result is clear: this kid just went from “defcon fussy” to “scorched earth temper tantrum.”

The only hope of diffusing this volatile situation lies with technology. The parent pulls out a smartphone or tablet, starts up YouTube, and hands it over to the three-foot dictator. As the child cues up some Octonauts, the parents are finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

YouTube uses your previous viewing history to offer you suggestions of what to watch next. As a result, handing your device to a child can have negative consequences. Just imagine the next time those poor parents pull up YouTube for their own personal viewing pleasure. Like it or not, they will be bombarded with video suggestions for Disney cartoons and Teletubby clips.

Luckily, there are a few ways to avoid this.

Clearing or pausing your YouTube history

The first thing you can do to prevent your child’s video habits from influencing your YouTube experience is to clear your YouTube history. This will eliminate all traces of Lego Ninjago and Doc McStuffins from your history – that is until the next time you hand them your phone. A better option might be to pause your YouTube history before forking over your device. This will prevent YouTube from remembering any videos watched until you un-pause your history.

YouTube Kids app

YouTube Kids is exactly what it sounds like. A kid-friendly version of YouTube, officially supported by Google. It boasts a simplified interface as well as tons of parental controls to ensure the little ones don’t catch a glimpse of anything inappropriate.

When you first install the YouTube Kids app (available on both Android and iOS), you’ll run through some quick set-up questions. We recommend doing this before you’re in a situation where a young one is on the verge of a meltdown. The app will ask you to set parental control passwords and allow you to specify what sort of content you want your child to have access to.

You will also have the ability to disable the search function. As a result, your child will only have access to videos that the app recommends (based on your preferences). You can also set a time limit for viewing so that your kids don’t become mindless Internet junkies.

Panasonic Eluga U Full Review, Unboxing, Price, Camera, Benchmarks, Gaming and Performance Overview[Video]

Design, Build and Display

The Panasonic Eluga U is very light in weight and feels good to hold in hand. The front has narrow bezels which makes it a tad bit smaller than most other 5 inchers. The three capacitive buttons at the end are not backlit. The rear side has nice texture which vaguely resembles Nexus 4. The glass back looks nice but will be prone to fingerprints.

The display is 5 inches in size with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. The display isn’t as sharp as full HD displays but you won’t notice any pixilation on the bright IPS LCD Display. Viewing angles are great as well. The colors are on the warmer side which gives it a faint yellowish hue. Auto brightness works well and outdoor visibility is good.

Processor and RAM

The processor used is 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 quad core chipset aided by 2 GB RAM. The UI transitions were faster and smoother on third party app launcher as compared to Fit Launcher which is activated by default. The chipset scored 17,269 on Antutu and 56.4 on Nenamarks. The chipset isn’t the most responsive that we have seen, but it can handle heavy lifting well.

Camera and Internal Storage

Internal storage is 16 GB and there is no separate partition for apps. This is a good thing and you can install apps in entire storage space. MicroSD card is also supported up to 32 GB for further expansion. This will be ample storage for most people. USB OTG is however not supported. Apps cannot be moved or installed on SD card.

Camera Samples

Panasonic Eluga U Rear Camera Video Sample 1080p at 25 fps

User Interface and Battery

User Interface is stock android with mild customizations. There is a clear all button added in recent apps panel, a new Fit launcher, some animation effects, etc. The main diversion from stock is the Fit launcher which allows you to place apps based in alphabetical order, user defined order, installation time and most used.

Battery capacity is 2500 mAh and this will last for one day with low to moderate usage. After setting brightness to auto brightness, reducing sleep time and practicing other precautions, we could extend battery life by a margin. Heavy users will struggle to last one day. Overall we were satisfied with the battery backup on Eluga U.

Sound, Video Playback and Connectivity

Loudspeaker is average as far as loudness is concerned. With Mx player, we could easily play full HD and HD videos without any lag. GPS Locking was instantaneous; we didn’t face any issue with navigation. GPS worked fine.

Device Name Photo Gallery

Conclusion and Price

Panasonic Eluga U is a slim and light weight smartphone which is more than capable of handling all your day to day tasks and some heavy lifting. The phone will be very well suited for users who wish to keep several apps on their smartphone and are only interested in basic usage. The Price however seems slightly high at 17,500 INR approx.

iPhone 6 Plus India Hands on Review, Camera, Storage, Bend Test and Quick Overview [Video] Design, Build and Display

iPhone 6 Plus looks and feels premium for sure. If you love big screen phones, iPhone 6 Plus will definitely be more enticing, but if you don’t it can feel oddly large. The bendgate has given a serious blow to its durability- an important aspect in slim phablets. We do think that bendgate has been blown out of proportion. The aluminum crafted iPhone 6 Plus looked sturdy and elegant.

Processor and RAM

Apple is using custom made 20 nm dual core 1.4 GHz A8 chipset, the second generation 64 bit chipset with 1 GB RAM. It’s not as big leap from A7 as A7 was from A6, but it’s still better. Practically, iPhone 6 Plus was extremely fluid to work with and we expect this to hold in the long run.

Camera and Internal Storage

It’s the iPhone 6 unit with faster Phase detect auto focus and increased pixel size. Sensor size (1/ 3”) and aperture (f2.2) remain same are same as that on iPhone 6 and 5s. iPhone 6 Plus also features Optical image stabilization to offset shakes and vibrations during photography. Though iPhone 6 has a fabulous camera, OIS make iPhone 6 Plus iSight camera better.

You can record full HD videos at 30fps and HD videos at 120/ 240 fps. You can also take up to 43 MP panoramic shots. We would like to spend some more time with iPhone 6 Plus to compare its camera performance with high end Android phones.

Internal storage is 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB depending on the variant you choose. You have to shell extra 9,000 INR while moving up the ladder.

Interface and Battery

The UI design isn’t vastly different from iOS 7, but there are several improvements. You can swipe off notifications, have notification widgets, download third party keyboards, pop up notifications and improved spotlight search. Double tapping the home button gives you recent apps and frequent contacts. Safari browser can now request desktop apps. There are several subtle changes which will enhance your iPhone experience.

Bigger size allows for a bigger 2915 mAh battery. Though there is a larger and brighter display to tax it, user review claim the battery backup is better as compared to all other iPhones. We will confirm this after we have spent more time with iPhone 6 Plus.

iPhone 6 Plus Photo Gallery

Conclusion

We do like iPhone 6 Plus which looks a lot like iPhone 6 even though its bigger. iPhone has finally gone bigger on user demand and it’s doing a good job at it. iPhone 6 Plus with a larger display has been priced at Rs 62,500, Rs 71,500 and Rs 80,500 for the 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB models respectively. If you are planning on switching from Android to iPhone, this should be more appealing than other iPhones.

Xiaomi 10,400 Mah Mi Power Bank Unboxing, Hands On Review And Overview

Xiaomi 10400 mAH Power Bank Unboxing, Review, Features, Original or Fake Check and Overview [Video] Design and Build

The Xiaomi Mi Power bank has a unibody aluminum design, and has been anodized for a better grip. The power bank is very compact and you can even carry it in your pocket, easily so in your travel gear. Xiaomi also promises that the outsides are corrosion resistant, which makes it a durable product. A random color case also comes bundled with the device for better feel

Performance

The thing that we like about Xiaomi Power bank is the fact that it can accept up to 1.5 – 2 Ampere of current and output the same if you have a phone which accepts it. This was a pleasant surprise from a battery pack which costs less than 1000 INR. When we tested our unit with charge doctor, we hot around 1.3 Ampere current while charging Mi3. The 16 cm USB cable was fine for charging devices but if you need to plug in your wall charger look for something bigger.

With a 2 Ampere charger, Xiaomi Mi Power Bank experience will become more comfortable. The power button is used to fire up the 4 LED indicators. Like some cheap power banks the light from one LED will not intersperse with others. Each LED represents 25 percent charge. There is only one USB port and thus you can charge only one device at a time. We could charge Xiaomi Mi3 twice from the battery pack.

Durability What you Must Know Before You buy One

If this is the first time that you are buying a power bank, this part is meant to help you balance your expectations. Bigger batteries means they take more time to charge. It is really irritating to charge your smartphone, which is why many get attracted to a high capacity power bank in the first place. Xiaomi Power bank takes around 12 hours to charge with a 1 A charger or around 6 hours with a 2 Ampere charger.

This is better than what most other cheap power banks are offering, but still you must balance your expectations. The high capacity will benefit you a lot, say, when you are on excursions and perhaps will be a life saver when you are lazing around at night, are running out of charge and don’t want to part with your bed or your smartphone. We would also like to see OPPO VOOC charging in these devices someday, but that’s certainly not happening at these prices.

Ideally a 10000 mAh battery power bank should charge a 2000 mAh smartphone battery 5 times, but in practical scenario, that is never the case. The 10,400 mAh battery bank can charge our Xiaomi Mi3 (3050 mAh) about twice. So this is the second thing that you should know.

What we Like

High input and output current

Large capacity

Nice Build

What we Don’t Like

No wall charger in the box

Only One charging port.
