Engadget Logo Engadget Japanese version Immediate purchase Immediate sale Gadget BEST3 that splurge writers will love even in 2022
I have purchased quite a few new products that I wanted to use for a long time. That said, if you own everything, you won't be able to keep the money, so most of the products will be sold as soon as you use them to some extent. However, I will continue to use the product I like very much as the main device. This time, we will introduce 3 carefully selected gadget products that were purchased in 2021 and are still in hand, and will be used habitually after 2022.
Completely wireless earphone "WF-1000XM4" with a smaller charging case than the previous model
The first is Sony's completely wireless earphone "WF-1000XM4". The previous model "WF-1000XM3" was not dissatisfied with the sound quality at all, and I thought that it sounded like the top class among all wireless earphones, but the charging case was very big. It was. However, the WF-1000XM4 has been made compact with an actual measurement of 66.6 x 39.5 x 29.4 mm. You can put it in the front pocket of your jeans without any discomfort. Improved portability is the main reason why we use this product regularly.
WF-1000XM4Improvement of wearability is also a point. By adopting a "noise isolation earpiece" that slowly returns to its original shape when crushed, it is unlikely to fall off your ears if you are just sprinting. Even a general earpiece will not come off easily if you wear a large one, but if you use it for a long time, your ears will get tired. The merit of "Noise Isolation Earpiece" is great in that it keeps you comfortable even if you leave it on.
The point that the "Amazon Music" app is compatible with "360 Reality Audio" that allows you to get a new music experience using stereophonic technology is also ◎. 360 Reality Audio sometimes feels like being swayed by the sound, and listening is not comfortable for all songs, but I started listening to music completely on my Android device + Amazon Music Unlimited + WF-1000XM4.
The author of the Cassette Walkman generation does not deny that he is a Sony believer, but I think that the earphones and headphones should be made by Sony.
Tap the "360 Reality Audio" icon to compare it with a normal sound source.The author may dare to choose a normal sound source depending on the music.
WF-1000XM4Android tablet "Xiaomi Pad 5" that realized high cost performance of 43,780 yen with 6GB + 128GB
The best thing about "Xiaomi Pad 5" is that it is equipped with "Qualcomm Snapdragon 860" and is an Android device, so you can play "Fortnite"! Of course, Fortnite can also be played on Android smartphones, but since it has a large 11-inch screen, the search enemy is easy. If you master 4 to 6 finger operation, you will surely increase your winning percentage. However, the display itself of Xiaomi Pad 5 supports a refresh rate of 120Hz, but for some reason the upper limit of the frame rate is 30fps. The processing performance of the CPU and GPU itself should be sufficient, but I wonder why the frame rate is limited.
Xiaomi Pad 5Although not mentioned on the official product website, the digitizer pen "Xiaomi Smart Pen" (11,800 yen) supports not only 4096 levels of pen pressure detection and 240Hz sampling rate, but also tilt detection. The range of expression changes depending on whether or not it supports tilt detection, so I think it is a point that should be paid more attention to with Xiaomi Pad 5.
Although it is not on sale in Japan, I definitely want you to get the keyboard cover "Xiaomi Pad Keyboard" on Expansys or AliExpress. It's genuine, so it's the perfect size. It's made by Xiaomi, so it's made well, and although the stroke is shallow, it gives a moderate click feeling as a keyboard cover. If you are a thin mobile notebook PC user, you will not feel any discomfort.
It was out of stock at the beginning of the release, but at the time of writing the article, it seems that both the 128GB version and the 256GB version are in stock on the mail order site. The image quality of the camera is also quite good, so it is one of the iron plates for an Android tablet.
Xiaomi Pad 5Folder Bull smartphone "Galaxy Z Fold3 5G" that supports Osaifu-Keitai and has a durable screen
By the way, at the end of "Gadget BEST3 to buy on your own and bring in 2022", I would like to introduce "Galaxy Z Fold3 5G", which is the most touched electronic device that shines as a personal gadget of the year. "is. I really like this one.
What I like about it is all about it, but the biggest one is the support for Osaifu-Keitai (FeliCa). That's because I live in a remote area of Saitama, and when I go to Tokyo, I buy green seats. Therefore, if you cannot use the "Suica" app, it will be difficult to use it as the main terminal. I bought the first one, but gave it up in a few months, and the second one went through. Right now, I don't have multiple smartphones unless there is something special.
The durability of the display is highly acclaimed as the biggest evolution of the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. It is said that the durability of the 3rd generation display has improved by 80% by adding a panel layer and a protective film, but it has been more than 2 months since it was purchased, but the display surface is completely scratched. Is not ... The first generation had a lot of fine scratches about a month after it was purchased, so I think that the scratch resistance of the protective film that was attached from the beginning has improved.
Personally, I like the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G very much, but I think it's expensive to exceed 200,000 yen on a smartphone. It costs that much and I think it's worth it, but I was a little nervous when I first started using it. OPPO has announced a folding smartphone "Find N" that costs about 138,000 yen in Japanese yen. A strong rival has appeared. For Samsung's next model, I would like to expect that the price will be lowered sharply, or that two units, high-end and middle range, will be prepared and that folding smartphones will become widespread.
The author is very satisfied with the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G itself, and now that I can't use anything other than a folding smartphone as my main terminal, I think I'll be able to live a peaceful life free from splurge for a while. ...... Well, I will actively buy sub-machines, though!
