A 35g action-cam, new EVs and my Recharged journey
Tech Things #16
It’s crazy that we’re in February already, when it feels like the year just started. If you know the tech space well enough, you know that MWC Barcelona is coming up. Formerly called the Mobile World Congress, it’s the largest gathering in the mobile sector. Stay tuned for updates.
If you’re thinking of getting into the content creation game or becoming a vlogger, check out the Insta360 Go3 camera. It’s the ‘world’s smallest action camera’ at 35g, which is ultra portable and great for traveller or anyone into adventuring and extreme activities. It’s even suited for clipping onto your pet’s collar.
In my review, I’m honest about the fact that it’s not for someone like me from my testing. Read more to see if this is something you want to purchase.
Speaking about content creation, I was on the Hypewoman podcast in December, sharing my journey of how Recharged came about, how I work, and monetising my site. It’s a very personal and raw episode; I usually don’t open up this much for an interview, but Sarona is a great host, and I loved returning as a guest. If you want to know more about my journey, give it a listen here:
I have an exciting expansion arm for Recharged coming Q1 2024. I am nervous but thrilled, and I’m sure you will be, too. Keep an eye out!
I recently published an extremely well-priced gadget, the Defy Digital Airfryer, that I think you may appreciate. It’s local and it’s a 7.6L XXL size below the R2k mark. Check it out if you want to reduce your electricity bill and cook healthier meals.
I attended Toyota’s State of the Motor Industry event and we got a sneak peak of its new EVs heading to South Africa next year! The Toyota ‘Beyond Zero’ bZ4x with up to 400km of range and the Lexus RZ with between 375-450km of range. You can read my article in the City Press/News24 here.
Most of you know, as tech reviewers, we don’t get to review phones for two years, the expected lifespan of a phone, or rather, 2-year upgrade cycle. So if you ever wondered how the Galaxy Z Flip 3 held up, Kelly Fisher shared her experience on a guest contribution to Recharged. There are some twists in the story, but I think it’s interesting to check out.
