Samsung welcomes its first ‘Fan Edition’ tablet: The Galaxy Tab S7 FE
Android might be the most dominant mobile operating system right now, but Apple still manages to outpace it when it comes to tablets. Samsung remains its biggest competitor right now and its latest model is the Galaxy Tab S7 FE. The South Korean tech group revisits a strategy wherein they released a more affordable version of the S20 last year.
Now, it’s the Galaxy Tab S7 that getting the “Fan Edition” treatment that drops the price in exchange for the loss of some key features of the flagship slate. We can’t help but notice that Samsung somewhat drew inspiration from the iPad Air 4.
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE will ship in four colors: Mystic Black, Mystic Silver, Mystic Green, and Mystic Pink. Much like its premium cousins, an S-Pen is bundled with the tablet. It retains the premium metal body, but there are some cost-saving changes.
It packs a 12.4-inch display but it uses a TFT panel instead of OLED. Don’t expect a buttery-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate as it is listed at 60 Hz only. 5G connectivity is still intact, but the chipset is the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G.
The silicon is paired with 4 GB or 6 GB RAM with an internal storage size of 64 GB and 128 GB respectively. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE should still be a capable productivity device with Samsung’s DeX on board. Moreover, the optional keyboard cover will handle typing tasks reliably as well.
The battery is rated at 10,090 mAh and it supports 45W fast charging technology. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is also great for entertainment thanks to its dual AKG-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos audio enhancement.

Huawei Watch 3 Series: Premium craftsmanship running feature-packed HarmonyOS
Since the trade ban in 2019, Huawei’s popularity is at an all-time low. Its supply chain for critical components was affected and it also lost access to a crucial software package. The Chinese tech brand is lauded for the outstanding craftsmanship and features of its gadgets. This is clearly intact on the Huawei Watch 3 and Huawei Watch 3 Pro – its latest wearables.
The two are launching in select regions this June 2021. It’s still too early to call if the new operating system ecosystem is the second wind the company needs. Nonetheless, the smartwatches all look premium and tout telephony functionalities.
Both variants have eSIM support, which means you can choose to leave your smartphone at home. Other specifications shared by the two include a 1.43-inch 466 x 466 round AMOLED display, wireless charging, and a comprehensive health monitoring system.
These wearables also borrow some gimmicks from the Apple Watch series with the digital crown and side button. Similar to Samsung’s rotating bezel controls on their flagship smartwatches, you can also turn the digital crown to navigate the menu.
The Huawei Watch 3 comes with a 46-mm stainless steel case in black PVD or silver. Depending on the edition, it ships with a silicone rubber strap, a leather strap, or a stainless-steel bracelet. On the other hand, the Huawei Watch 3 Pro has a 48-mm titanium case with two variants that are paired with either a leather strap or a titanium bracelet
Those of you who are coming from the Huawei GT2 series are in for a rough surprise. It appears the Huawei Watch 3 and Huawei Watch 3 Pro cannot hope to match the 14-day battery life of their predecessors. Perhaps HarmonyOS and its expanded capabilities sap more power than before.

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Despite its classic look the Sequent Titanium Elektron is an innovative smartwatch
Google’s 2021 I/O event was full of exciting updates regarding many of its products. One of the most interesting surprises was Samsung’s decision to switch back to Wear OS from its Tizen platform. On the flip side, this announcement dashes hopes for a Pixel smartwatch. While waiting for what comes next, we found out about this cool Kickstarter project called Titanium Elektron.
What the Titanium Elektron has going for it is its traditional watch face. Swiss smart technology group Sequent is behind it development and promises to deliver premium design and craftsmanship and address a longstanding gripe with smartwatches.
Although it ships with a charger, if it stays on your wrist most of the time, you won’t need to plug it in. It relies on Sequent’s Supercharger2 hybrid self-charging mechanism. The open caseback shows what appears to be an oscillating rotor similar to that of an automatic calibre.
It may look like an analog GMT timekeeper, but it packs cutting-edge tech for tracking activities and more. Sequent will be offering three versions of the Titanium Elektron. All three will ship in a 42.10-mm grade-2 titanium case with an option for a black DLC variant and sapphire crystal.
The standard Titanium Elektron features basic sleep/activity tracking, while the HR/HR Viu model support heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring. The first two sport a matte black dial, while the HR Viu uses a transparent material to expose the inner workings of the smartwatch.
Super-LumiNova lume on the hour markers and hands help with low-light visibility. You can pair the Titanium Elektron with your compatible device via Bluetooth. We think it’s a great choice for people who are not yet ready to go full-digital just yet.

It also serves to hold the coal during BBQ.
Of course, you can’t bake in an open flame so this cooking gear also comes with a removable lid with a reclaimed wood and steel handle. The lid is also great for BBQ and for smoker functions.

Sneakers 101: The Difference Between Running Shoes, Tennis Shoes & Other Styles
There is a wide range of consumers when it comes to sneakers. Some people may only own a single pair and then there has long been a class of diehard “sneakerheads” who boast impressive collections of the latest, greatest and rarest editions.
Most of us fall somewhere in the middle, but this style of footwear once reserved for athletics has only been booming in popularity in recent years.
If you’re looking to add more options to your sneaker collection, but you’re not sure where to start, here is a quick breakdown of the differences between tennis shoes, running shoes, classics and other styles.
Tennis Shoes
As the name implies, tennis shoes were designed for tennis. These days, though, it’s more of a generic name for all sneakers. There are some actual tennis shoes that have become common for everyday wear, like the Adidas Stan Smiths. Of all the shoe silhouettes that exist, few are more well known and respected than these classics.
The Classics
The Stan Smiths are far from alone. They join other purpose-built sneakers that have made the transition from sports equipment to daily fashion. These include the Adidas Superstar, Converse Chuck Taylors, Nike Air Jordan, Saucony Shadow Original and Nike Air Max.
Then, of course, there is are the Nike Air Force 1s. These all-time classics have been so popular in streetwear from the very start. Eventually, they became known as “Uptowns” in New York. This was due to just how many people in Harlem wore them every day. Also, it refers to the direction you had to travel to find stores with the latest releases.
Running Shoes
Some people do use the term “running shoe” for any sneaker. However, modern versions represent a different class and usually feature the most cutting-edge shoe technology that exists. There are the classics, like the Nike Cortez, but today we’re more talking about a space race for the most innovation — something Nike pushed so far that its Vaporfly model was initially banned in sanctioned competition.
There are crossovers as well. Kanye West helped popularize the now-iconic Adidas Ultraboosts in the mid-2010s. Thus, the trend was born for making comfortable, performance running shoes into lifestyle wear. Many styles, like the Nike Air VaporMax, can now be seen in casual situations as often as they are on the track.
Other Styles
Some sneakers naturally don’t fit into any of these categories. They may not have been designed specifically for a sport, like walking shoes, or they may have been built for any sport, like cross-trainers. Some companies, like New Balance, ostensibly make running shoes, but they are mostly just for day-to-day comfort, like the company’s 574s.
Then there are fashion sneakers. High-end luxury brands, like Gucci, make their own sneakers that really aren’t for athletics, as do mass-market companies, like Steve Madden. At the end of the day, many of these are unclassifiable in any sports-based sense. Moreover, the designs just keep changing year by year with the trends.
Picking the Best Sneakers for You
We all love sneakers and are drawn to different styles. Ultimately, most of it just comes down to personal preference and how they fit on our feet. Whichever you chose, there is really only one rule: wear them with confidence and always enjoy what you put on your feet.
Keep The Flame Burning With The Atomic Bear Fire Wand
The Atomic Bear Fire Wand saves you time when it comes to setting up your campfire or bonfire. Lighting up is made easy with this wand that uses wax-infused hemp rope that ignites with a single spark.
It may resemble the hollow body of a pen but it serves its purpose. It gives a cumulative slow and steady burn time of 60 minutes and keeps your hand safe from burns with the fire at a safe distance. This way you can easily transport the flame to where you need to start a fire.
Moreover, unlike matchsticks and lighters, you don’t have to re-ignite to keep the flame going. You simply have to adjust or extend the length of the wick. You also have full control of the size of the flame once you fray the end of the hemp. When it comes to extinguishing the flame, you simply pull the rope inside its tube case. Aside from cigarette lighters, the Atomic Bear Fire Wand ignites with a ferrocerium rod, magnesium, matches, fire starter kit, and more.
Aesthetics-wise, this fire starter keeps up a minimalist and covert design. At first glance, you never know what it is about until you see the hemp rope and ignite it. It keeps the flame strong thanks to its black anodized aluminum sleeve that lets you safely carry the hot flame to your tinder.
The Atomic Bear Fire Wand is also compact and lightweight which makes it a great outdoor gear to add to your survival tool kit. It doesn’t reek of gas and the hemp is easily replaceable.

After more than a year of social distancing and isolation at home, we might have neglected our wardrobes. Perhaps you are considering some shopping soon, but still thinking about what type of apparel. When frugality is on the top of your list, make sure to sift through the closet just in case there is something that was neglected. If not, we’re here to help you discover how a leather jacket can enhance your style.
You might have read another article we published that discusses some of the nuances that involve the material in question. In this guide, we hope to provide the necessary details you need in order to purchase the right type of men’s leather jackets. We will be focusing on this versatile piece of outerwear and showcasing some of the cool ways of wearing it.
Before anything else, you should know that there are several types of leather jackets. It’s essential that you understand what each offer in terms of appeal and what they pair nicely with. Among those that remain popular to date are bomber jackets, biker jackets, field jackets, leather blazers, and leather vests among others.
Please note that leather is great for keeping warm, which means our suggestions are ideal for colder seasons or areas with cooler climates. Nevertheless, it does not mean you need to avoid it entirely. Go for suede or vests to beat the heat and still look good. With these in mind, it’s time we learned about 5 debonair ways to style a leather jacket.
Leather Biker Jackets
You can never go wrong with a timeless ensemble that’s also functional at the same time. Typically, this is the outfit of choice by those who prefer two-wheelers instead of cars. it provides adequate protection against road rash in case of mishaps.
These days, these give the wearer a badass charm normally associated with bikers. Thus, guys who are spending their leisure cruising the open roads need to own one. Metal hardware, a zipper, buckles, belts, and large lapels are common elements of its presentation.
As such, go for jeans and a T-shirt (preferably with graphics of a band or something else). This gives off a rocker persona and can be paired with sneaker or boots of your choosing. Darker colors are the best way to go, but it really depends on your personal tastes.
Leather Bomber Jackets
Also called flight jackets, these frequently saw action in aviation industries of the past especially during the wartime era. Usually designed with an inner lining made out of various fabrics to keep the user warm. A men’s aviator jacket usually touts a tighter fit on the wrists and waist section courtesy of ribbed hems.
Still, it is not as form-fitting as the others leather jackets as not to restrict your range of motion. Overall, this is a terrific option for folks who prefer a more casual route. Much like biker jackets, a men’s bomber jacket is a classic that refuses to go away.
One of the trendy styles out there combines a sporty profile with a hint of elegance on the side. Either put on a tee or a hoodie with a slim-fitting pair of jeans in darker tones. Slip on a cap or put your hoodie to good use and add a hint of coolness with your favorite sunglasses.
Leather Field Jackets
Here we have another military-inspired piece of gear that the fashion industry has embraced over the years. Unlike regular leather jackets, utility is what it brings to the table. This comes from the pockets which can keep your gadgets or other items within reach.
It’s length is longer than your average jacket, which is why others sometimes refer to it as barn coats. It’s difficult to get it wrong, but we believe that it matches well with a polo shirt or others that have buttons. It gives off a rustic vibe which reminds us of the countryside and cowboys stuff.
To complete your cattle-wrangling attire, the appropriate hat should be the go-to headwear here. On other hand, it would likewise look dapper with dark jeans and boots. Crew neck shirts and sneakers are fantastic for a more laid back appearance,
Leather Blazers
In this list, this leans a lot toward the formal side of things. If you’re office encourages a business casual type of outfit, a leather blazer is quite adaptable enough to meet your requirements. Suede would be the best thanks to its plush texture and pliable properties.
Still, full-grain leather is equally stunning when you know what to wear it with. For the pants, most types of fabrics would do, but jeans and chinos are a good bet. Don’t worry too much, because most colors would work as long as the blazer is either in shades of black or brown, according to fashion experts.
One drawback here would be in keeping the wearer warm since leather blazers normally don’t close all the way. Nevertheless, a turtleneck or a thicker garment underneath should keep you nice and toasty. If you want to go all the way, matching leather pants will drum up your debonair style choice.
Leather Vests
Rounding out our guide is something for those who want to show their love for riding and keep their arms ventilated in warmer weather. Leather vests are another biker staple that makes you look tough and stylish at the same time.
Some leather vests can also be considered smart casual when it’s worn over the right garb. Maybe as part of a three-piece suit or other similar getups. Ideally, a regular one without any patches or logos of a motorcycle club is handy to have in your closet.
Conclusion
It’s evident that with an open mind and an eye for fashion there is a near-endless number of ways to style a leather jacket. In the end, what really matters is that you feel good about whatever you are wearing. When there is doubt, don’t hesitate to check our guides like ours online. In fact, most retailers will answer your questions and even make suggestions.
Why Suede Jacket is the Best Wardrobe Staple?
These challenging times have kept most of us indoors since the outbreak started early in 2020. With health officials encouraging people to steer clear of crowded areas and rooms with poor ventilation, most businesses started shifting to working from home. Due to this ongoing setup, folks are no longer pressured to worry about their outfits. Still, with restrictions gradually easing as vaccinations are underway, it seems like a great opportunity to update your wardrobe. Perhaps a new suede jacket or something similar is what you need.
What is suede?
Before anything else, let’s familiarize ourselves with this material in question, which is suede. Most of you might already have an idea of what it is courtesy of some types of footwear. Yet, for the sake of those wondering, suede is actually a special type of leather, which is primarily sourced from lambskin. Unlike your typical full-grain leather, it boasts a softer texture that many find comfortable.
A leather jacket made out of suede might feel super comfortable, but it cannot match the toughness the regular ones are known for. It is crafted out of animal skin, but using the underside. This makes it more pliable but at the expense of durability. Nonetheless, with proper use and care, a suede jacket will remain in good condition for a long time.
Why choose a suede jacket?
We have to admit, the feeling of rubbing your hand or skin across the plush nap is reason enough for some. Still, let’s learn about some of the benefits garments such as suede bomber jackets bring to the table. The primary purpose as to why people put on outerwear is for warmth in cold weather. Users who value comfort and style will love the versatility it offers.
The elegance it adds to almost any outfit is undeniable. Even with a simple shirt underneath, you can enhance your overall look with a classy suede jacket. Unlike before, wherein manufacturing limitations at the time meant that you only had a few shades to choose from, now you can practically get it in different colors.
Choosing Between a suede jacket or leather jacket
To date, the demand and availability of suede show that it’s here to stay. You can find it used for shoes, gloves, handbags, belts, jackets, and so much more. It goes to show the material is a timeless choice for renowned leatherworking labels. Although there are advantages, we also need to highlight some of the downsides.
For example, folks who would rather get around on motorcycles, instead of cars must be wary of their safety. Given a choice between leather bomber jackets over ones in suede, it should be apparent that the former is the best option.
Another would be when moisture is in the cards. Suede jackets look and feel more refined, but that all changes when it gets wet. With this in mind, users should be more cautious against liquids since it can stain easily. Moreover, the nap can become stiff when it dries.
Full-grain leather, on the other hand, excels when it comes to overall durability. Even its surface can withstand stains to a certain degree. Anyway, we have listed some of the good and bad between the two for your reference
Suede
Pros:
- Breathability
- Comfort
- Sophisticated
- Pliability (Can be easily shaped)
- Provides exceptional warmth
Cons:
- Maintenance can be difficult
- Can be easily stained
- Collects dirt and dust
- Expensive
Full-grain leather
Pros:
- Durability
- Resistance to moisture
- Classy appeal
- Keeps you warm
- Protection against road rash
Cons:
- Not as flexible as suede
- Less than desirable breathability
- Difficult to tell real leather from fake leather
- Pricey
Maintenance
Based on the list above, it doesn’t mean that you can never wear your suede jacket. An article published by Business Insider shares some helpful tips on how to clean and protect this material. As long as you are aware of what to expect and what to do in a certain situation, it should keep its velvety consistency longer.
Takeaway
When you want to earn those extra finesse points, we believe a suede jacket is a must-have in anyone’s wardrobe. Not only does it effectively keep you warm when it gets cold, but it also feels comfortable. Make sure to get a few in varying colors and designs so you can pair them with your casual or smart casual wear.
It’s easy to pull off a fashionable outfit when you are open to trying out something new. While you are shopping for your next suede jacket, perhaps choosing a leather portfolio to go with your style is a good idea. Never hesitate to occasionally check out guides for the latest trends.
