Do you like unique solutions and at the same time want to protect your device? The company Spigen, along with users, has prepared an interesting product that refers in design to the first iPhone. We are talking about the limited edition Classic One model for the iPhone X. You will find it below.

Perhaps you are wondering if it is worth investing in a waterproof case. A smartphone case is particularly needed now, during the holiday season. You may not realize that while traveling, for example, to the seaside, your smartphone is exposed to many factors that are not necessarily beneficial for it. One could even say that if you do not have adequate protection against water, sand, and sun, and if your phone is valuable to you, it might be worth considering leaving it at home or deep in your bag. But here, waterproof case manufacturers come to our aid.

Water-resistant vs. waterproof – are there any differences?

At the beginning, it may be worth considering the difference between water resistance and waterproofing. Water-resistant means that it is resistant to water action, to seepage. A waterproof item, on the other hand, is designed not to allow water to pass through and to prevent it from getting inside.

Why does a smartphone need a waterproof case?

If our device is not water-resistant, the matter is simple. Its task is to protect the phone from unwanted factors such as flooding. Its task is also to provide you with peace of mind knowing that your phone is well protected. And even if it falls into the sea, pool, or river, it should not be damaged in terms of water flooding.

And if you have a water-resistant device and think that a waterproof case is unnecessary for you, I must sadly state that you are mistaken. On the surface of the smartphone, we find many openings through which water can enter the device. These include: the charging port, headphone jack, speakers, and microphone. Although all the openings are secured with seals and impermeable foams, as we know, all of this can fail. And as we can unfortunately guess, manufacturers do not want to repair supposedly water-resistant devices at their own expense and often blame the user for using the smartphone improperly.

What happens to a smartphone after flooding?

One of the variants is a short circuit that can occur due to the flow of current through the integrated circuits. We often do not realize that after flooding, a corrosion process may also begin on the device’s motherboard, which can effectively prevent the use of the smartphone and consequently force us to replace the device with a new one.

The impact of water type on damage

Are you wondering if the type of water matters when flooding? After all, water is water. And here, unfortunately, a problem arises. Saltwater is a great conductor of electricity. It also significantly accelerates the corrosion process of metals (rusting). Freshwater is a bit less dangerous as it conducts electricity less effectively, but we cannot say that this water is safe, as it reacts with metals, leading to oxidation or corrosion.

So how can you effectively protect yourself from flooding?

The most important and best protection against water is waterproof cases. In our assortment, we have Ghostek Nautical cases (for many smartphone models) and Choetech waterproof case. They will allow you to use your smartphone carefree at any time while providing protection against unwanted external factors.

Ghostek Nautical case is a great solution if you spend a lot of time outdoors and expose your smartphone to various weather conditions. It effectively protects the device from water, dust, sand, and mud, while also looking good. Additionally, the Ghostek Nautical case has reinforced corners, which will also effectively protect against drops. Despite its protective features, the case is relatively slim, has a trendy design, and allows for comfortable use of the smartphone.

On the other hand, the Choetech waterproof case is an ideal solution if you do not need dedicated solutions and would also like to take documents with you during contact with liquids. The Choetech case ensures waterproofing up to 30 meters underwater, which means that your items will not get flooded during normal swimming. The material from which the case is made does not affect touch sensitivity, so you do not have to worry about damaging your smartphone when constantly taking it out of the case, for example, with wet hands, as there is no need to do so. Additionally, the case comes with a shoulder strap and lanyard, which further enhances user comfort.

Waterproof cases – although not yet fully appreciated in Poland, are worth attention. Thanks to their features, we can enjoy the beauty of our surroundings without worrying about sand, water, or other unfavorable factors. So if you dream of a vacation where you can enjoy the pleasures of life and avoid worries, be sure to equip yourself with a waterproof case!

Are you tired of ordinary photos taken with your smartphone? Would you like to achieve something impressive without the need to invest in a good camera? Choetech comes to the rescue with clip-on lenses for your phone. The set includes a wide-angle lens, a so-called “fish-eye,” and a macro lens. Choetech smartphone lenses are made of high-quality glass that reduces reflections. Additionally, the product comes with caps to prevent dirt, and the whole set is sold in a practical case. It is also interesting that the lenses are universal, allowing them to be used with almost any smartphone available on the market.

Wide-angle lens:

This type of lens is designed to allow us, among other things, to photograph large objects from a short distance. Choetech wide-angle lens allows you to capture a much wider area in the photo and includes many more elements than a standard lens. The design of such a lens allows for a field of view of over 60 degrees. It is particularly suitable for landscape, architecture, and interior photography.

Fish-eye lens:

This is a lens with a very wide field of view, also known as ultra-wide-angle. Such lenses render reality strongly distorted, making them mainly suitable for artistic photography. The field of view of this type of lens is 180 degrees. Choetech has ensured that the fish-eye lens allows us to achieve uniquely rounded images that will take us to another world!

Macro lens:

In this case, Choetech focused on enabling us to take very sharp photos from a close distance. Another important feature of this lens is the accurate reproduction of image geometry. Choetech macro lens is perfect for photographing nature, such as flowers, insects, etc. It will allow us to meticulously reproduce the appearance and characteristics of the captured objects.

Choetech smartphone lenses will work really well for you if you expect something more from your photos without the need to invest a lot of money in professional equipment. Small, unassuming, compact – these are just some of the superlatives that can be attributed to Choetech lenses. Want to see what other advantages these lenses hide? Order, and you will see for yourself!

One of the giants among smartphone manufacturers, a combination of Chinese precision and low prices. Do you know which company is being referred to? Of course, it is Xiaomi, and more specifically, today we will focus on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is a mid-range smartphone, but some of its parameters can be compared to flagship models. Its strong points undoubtedly include a large battery. Undeniably, the high-quality display and aesthetic design featuring aluminum are also significant advantages. An additional plus is the very attractive price. But how does this phone compare to its predecessor, the Redmi Note 4?

In terms of appearance, the devices are similar; the manufacturer maintained the width and thickness of its predecessor, but the Redmi Note 5 is longer. When it comes to the display, it has also gained in length. Its dimensions changed from 5.5” in Note 4 to 5.99” in Note 5. Besides the length, the display has also significantly improved in quality, as evidenced by its much better viewing angles. Furthermore, Xiaomi decided to enhance the user experience by transitioning from angular shapes to slightly more rounded ones. They also eliminated the functional buttons below the screen in favor of on-screen buttons. The same goes for the cameras. There is also significant progress in their specifications in favor of Note 5. The dual rear camera should perform better in low light conditions and allows for background blur, while the front camera has received support in the form of a flash.

On the other hand, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is nothing more than a slightly improved version of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. The first difference can be seen in the selfie camera. In Note 5 Pro, a 20-megapixel front camera has been installed, which will surely appeal to those who enjoy taking a lot of selfies. Another change between the models is the upgrade of the processor from Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 to 636, which affects the performance increase of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. Note 5 Pro also has a larger amount of RAM, with a maximum of 6GB, while Note 5 has only a maximum of 4GB RAM. In the resources of Redmi Note 5 Pro, we also find a newer version of the Bluetooth system and support for fast charging (Quick Charge 2.0).

If you own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 or the Pro version, or are considering purchasing one of them, you are certainly looking or will be looking for ways to effectively protect your smartphone. And here our store Home Screen comes to your aid. In our assortment, you will find many cases that will certainly meet your expectations. In our offer, you will find, for example, MSVII Case for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, which, thanks to polycarbonate, is durable while mitigating the effects of falls. In this case, the manufacturers focused primarily on the comfort of daily use, and it must be admitted that they succeeded excellently. A tempered glass is also included in the set. MSVII Case is available in various color variants (case preview below the article).

For Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 or its Pro version, you can also equip yourself with a “book case” type case, which additionally protects the front panel of the device. DuxDucis SkinPro Case for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is an extremely pleasant case to the touch, which excellently fulfills the protective function for the smartphone. The internal pocket found in this case allows for storing documents along with the phone, ensuring that everything important is always with you in one place. The case is sold as a set with tempered glass.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5/Redmi Note 5 Pro are interesting propositions for those who value high quality at a relatively low price. It is pleasing to see that Xiaomi continuously tries to improve its smartphones and introduce various interesting features that facilitate usage. And will Xiaomi Redmi Note 5/Redmi Note 5 Pro meet your requirements? You will have to find out for yourself.

The iPhone has long been one of the most frequently chosen devices in recent years. It has earned this primarily due to its flawlessly functioning operating system, excellent design, and intuitive handling. In September, Apple is expected to present three models of iPhones: the successor to the “ten,” its enlarged version, and a budget model with an IPS display. Rumors say that Apple had trouble naming the new devices, so for the purposes of this article, before we learn the actual names they have adopted, let’s use the terms iPhone X 2018, iPhone X Plus, and iPhone 9.

iPhone X Plus:

Rumors say that this model is to be equipped with the largest display in the history of iPhones, measuring 6.5 inches, made in OLED technology with a resolution of 1243x 2688. The X Plus model is also expected to have 4 GB of RAM, and its price is estimated to be around 900-1000 dollars, which means that after adding taxes in Poland, we can talk about a device whose price will oscillate around five thousand zlotys. According to rumors, the device will receive an improved iSight camera that will allow for horizontal mode operation. The smartphone is expected to be available in three body colors, but whether this will actually be the case remains to be seen.

iPhone 9:

Temporarily named so on the Internet, as Apple has not officially confirmed the names of the new models. The iPhone 9 is expected to be the cheapest of the trio, as its price is estimated to be around 600-700 dollars, which means we can say about three thousand zlotys. Due to its lower price compared to the others, it will be equipped with a 6.1-inch display made in IPS technology. Interestingly, rumors say that the iPhone 9 will have only one camera, and the casing will be made of aluminum. This, in turn, will affect the number of color variants in which this model is expected to appear.

iPhone X 2018:

If the leaks turn out to be true, the iPhone X 2018 will be equipped with a 5.8-inch display made in OLED technology. The money we will have to spend to become its owner is approximately 800-900 dollars, which is roughly over four thousand zlotys.

It is also worth adding that with the purchase of the new models, the customer will receive a charger with fast charging capability. All will also be equipped with a notch and face ID. Will the rumors prove true? Will the company actually lower the costs of purchasing iPhones just to gain new customers? We will find out soon, and for now, we have no choice but to wait for the official presentation of the new iPhone models.

The next version of the iconic smartphone was recently presented by one of the most popular companies. What customers love about their products is the combination of Chinese precision and innovative solutions with a Western, modern look. Huawei, the company we are talking about, recently proposed a new, refreshed, and most importantly, modified version of the Mate 10 Lite model, whose name is Mate 20 Lite. The device has a 6.3-inch diagonal screen, trendy design, and large file storage – 64 GB. The phone is also equipped with Huawei Face Unlock, which is the equivalent of the popular Face ID. However, to become the owner of such a gem, we need to prepare around 1599 PLN. It is not for us to judge whether that is a lot or a little, but I know that no one wants their device to break due to our stupidity for such an amount. So what to do to avoid unnecessary repairs that create a hole in our budget? It is best to equip yourself with a case dedicated to this model and a matching tempered glass right from the start.

In the Home Screen store, you will find many cases for Huawei Mate 20 Lite. They come in various styles, whatever you can imagine. Some are thick and armored, while others are thin. Some are colorful, while others are completely transparent. However, they all share one common task. They are meant to protect your device from unwanted scratches, cracks, or dirt.

Very soon, at the end of October, the premiere of the new smartphone from OnePlus. It is a Chinese company engaged in the production of phones. The new flagship is expected to be called OnePlus 6T, which is generating a lot of excitement among technology fans. Speculations are emerging regarding the appearance, features, and internal equipment of the device. There are also many leaks and unconfirmed rumors on this topic. In this article, I will try to gather all the information we currently know about the OnePlus 6T.

The appearance does not hold many secrets for us, as the smartphone has already appeared in many visualizations and renders. The OnePlus 6T is expected to have a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a fingerprint reader built into the front panel. The display will also feature a popular notch, but in an unusual shape – in the shape of a small, aesthetic teardrop. Interestingly, the smartphone has been stripped of the 3.5mm jack.

According to rumors, the OnePlus 6T will be equipped with similar components as its older brother – the OnePlus 6. It will have an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. The device will also include 8GB of RAM, and depending on the version, 64, 128, or 256GB for files. Although there is a lot of built-in storage for data, it is worth remembering that the OnePlus 6T will probably not have a microSD card reader.

An important piece of information for Android enthusiasts, but not only, is that the device will run on the latest Android 9 Pie with the Oxygen OS overlay. It is also known from rumors that the manufacturer is still working on renewing the interface and the gesture system. The OnePlus 6T will have a 3700mAh battery.

There will also be many changes regarding the cameras in the device. The device is expected to offer us two main sensors, including one with a resolution of 12 Mpix with a variable aperture of f/1.5-f/2.4.

Expected technical specifications:

• ~6.4-inch AMOLED display (1080 x 2340 pixels)
• 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor
• 8 GB of RAM
• 64, 128, or 256 GB of storage
• Android 9 Pie with OxygenOS overlay
• 3700 mAh battery with fast charging
• Wi-Fi 802.11ac
• Bluetooth 5.0
• GPS/GLONASS
• NFC
• LTE modem
• dual SIM
• USB C port
• in-display fingerprint reader
• face recognition
• dimensions 157.5 x 75.7 x 8.2 mm

The premiere of the new OnePlus 6T is coming soon. Will the rumors prove true and will it actually be as we write? Or will the manufacturer surprise us and offer something completely different? We will find out very soon.

Behind us is the premiere of the successor to the iconic Huawei Mate 10 Pro – Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It is characterized by its unique appearance, interesting technical solutions, and most importantly, excellent performance. As a company representative stated at the premiere in London – Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the best of the Chinese company’s devices so far. What else do we know about it? What does it look like? What is hidden inside? In this article, we will introduce you to the specifications of this model.

The phone has an incredibly attractive appearance. It is set to be available in several color variants: including pink gold and twilight. The dimensions of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro are 157.20 x 72.30 x 8.60 mm. The bezels on the front of the device are extremely narrow, which allows for a diagonal display size of 6.39 inches. The screen is made using OLED technology, and its resolution is 1140×3120 pixels. It can be immediately acknowledged that the display in the Huawei Mate 20 Lite features very good color reproduction and proper contrast.

The fingerprint reader in the Mate 20 Pro is located in the screen, but it is not visible on it, as it is located directly beneath it. However, the problem may be that it occupies only a small part of the screen, making it difficult to hit without looking.

One thing that undoubtedly catches the eye is the arrangement of the cameras on the back of the device. Three cameras and one flash are arranged in a 2×2 system, which looks very interesting. It deserves praise that Huawei does not copy the layout/design of the rear panel from other companies’ devices, but creates its own, original solutions. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about the front panel, which is a copy of many current smartphones – referring to the ubiquitous notch.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is equipped with face unlock features, which are based not only on the camera but also on a module that builds a map of the face. The manufacturers stated that they are confident enough in their technology that, in addition to standard use for unlocking the device, it can also be used for payments, logging into banks, etc.

The Mate 20 Pro will run on Android 9.0 Pie. The device is equipped with the latest processor used in Android smartphones, the Kirin 980. It also has 6 or 8 GB of RAM and, depending on the version, 128 or 256 GB for user files. Interestingly, Huawei decided to give users the option to expand the memory of their Mate 20 Pro via a nanoSD memory card.

The battery capacity is 4200 mAh and it can also be charged wirelessly. What distinguishes this battery is the ability for super-fast charging – in half an hour, the battery is supposed to be charged to 70 percent thanks to the 40-watt charger included in the package. The Mate 20 Pro can also function as a wireless charger – for a watch, headphones, or another smartphone that supports wireless charging.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro does not have a headphone jack, but it does have a USB-C port intended for charging the smartphone. It also supports all the latest wireless connectivity standards, including LTE and NFC (used for wireless payments).

Summary:

• dimensions 157.80 x 72.30 x 8.60 mm
• weight 189.00 g
• color display OLED, 16M colors, 1440 x 3120 px
• 6.39 inches
• Li-ion battery 4200 mAh
• fast charging
• internal memory: 128 GB, 256 GB
• RAM: 6 GB, 8 GB
• memory card: Nano SD (up to 256 GB)
• operating system Android 9.0 Pie

The price of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro in Poland is expected to be 4299 PLN. Is that a lot? It’s hard to say. On one hand, the device has so many interesting features and is equipped with such good components that it is clear what you are paying for. However, will it win over the market and top the popularity rankings? That is still unknown, and whether it is worth buying must be decided by each individual.
