TYLT is a company that’s always been at the top in regards to flash, design, and cutting edge charging technology. At CES 2016, they have not disappointed, introducing several updates to already popular TYLT devices. At Android and Me, we’ve been using and reviewing TYLT accessories for a while and have always been impressed, so we’re excited to get our hands on these new devices.
Here’s a list of what TYLT’s been showing off at CES 2016:
ENERGI Desktop Charging Station ($79.99) – Not the best-looking product I’ve seen TYLT produce, but it’s got a fancy feature that most desktop chargers don’t: It’s a 1 Amp output charger when in the station that turns into a 3,200mAh battery pack when you pull it out. There’s nothing better than a battery pack that’s charging when you’re not using it so that it’s ready when you need it.
VU 2.0 Wireless Charger ($79.99) – The original TYLT VU is by far my favorite Qi wireless charger. I have it on my nightstand and I use it every night. The VU 2.0 has an adjustable stand anext a 15W output for three times faster charging than the pre-2016 standard, as well as a pretty aluminum base. I’m assuming it requires a compatible Qi 1.2 device, so I won’t be getting faster charging any time soon. But when I do have a compatible device, I know where to throw my money.
VU SOLO 2.0 Wireless Charger ($49.99) – Another update to a fantastically-designed charger, the VU SOLO also offers 15W output for three times faster charging.
TURBO Portable Batteries ($29.99 – $89.99) – New battery packs from TYLT that range from 5,200mAh to 20,800mAh. These batteries offer Quick Charge 2.0 as well as USB Type-C, so you can charge the lastest phones and laptops super fast. They also have a new DualFuel technology that charges the batteries five times faster for less down time and more up time.
TURBO Smart Chargers ($39.99 – $99.99) – I love the original TYLT Smart Travel Charger; the convenience of being able to leave behind your wall charger and have both a charger and battery pack that pass-through charges is just great. However, it had a low capacity and charged slowly. Not anymore! The new TYLT TURBO Smart Chargers have high capacities, Quick Charge 2.0, and USB Type-C ports with built in microUSB or Lightning Cables. I’m pretty excited about these.
TYLT is also showing off their ENERGI+ Backpack 2.0, which includes a 20,000+mAh battery as well as USB-C RIBBN & USB-C Y-CHARGE Car Chargers. TYLT is staying true to form with new flashy designs to continue to make our mobile experience convenient.
Which new TYLT product are you most excited about?
January 5, 2016
LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2016–TYLT, a global leader in wireless charging and portable power, today unveiled several new products, including Qi chargers, battery packs and smart chargers, at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (booth #30800 – LVCC, South Hall 3). Additionally, the company is showcasing its CES Innovation Awards Honoree product, the new ENERGI Desktop Charging Station. This marks the fifth consecutive year the company has won this prestigious award.
Kannyn MacRae, Vice President of Product Management & Marketing at TYLT, said: “Since TYLT was founded in 2011, we’ve made it a priority to deliver products that provide added convenience and power to our users. These new products debuting at CES do just that, with wireless charging that’s 3X faster than before, more powerful portable batteries, and the adoption of industry-leading technologies like Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and USB-C.”
ENERGI Desktop Charging Station ($79.99)
The ENERGI Desktop Charging Station charges five devices at once using SmartDetect ports, which provide the maximum charging rate a phone or tablet will accept. Four rapid charging 2.4A USB ports enable users to charge their devices twice as fast as standard wall chargers. An additional 1A port doubles as a removable, rechargeable 3,200mAh battery pack. With a built-in cable management system, this compact charging station only uses one outlet but provides 50W maximum power. Photos | Spec Sheet
Since launching the VÜ Wireless Charger in 2013, TYLT has served as a leader in Qi wireless charging. Now, with the introduction of the VÜ 2.0 and VÜ SOLO 2.0, the company has set a new standard
VU 2.0 Wireless Charger ($79.99)
The VÜ 2.0 boasts a 15W output for 3X faster charging than the pre-2015 standard; a premium aluminum base that enables users to adjust the angle of the stand to fit their needs; and a three-coil system that means you never have to worry about aligning your device to initiate charging – just drop and go.

VU SOLO 2.0 Wireless Charger ($49.99)
Perfect for travel or wireless desktop charging, the VÜ SOLO 2.0 charges 3X faster than traditional Qi chargers with a 15W output. The sliding alignment feature ensures your device is always perfectly positioned on the charging coil. Use the VÜ SOLO 2.0 as a flat pad or stand it upright for easy viewing Photos | Spec Sheet
For portable power on the go, TYLT launched its most powerful batteries and chargers to date: Turbo Portable Batteries and Turbo Smart Chargers. With the ability to power smartphones, tablets and, for the first time in the history of TYLT, laptops (that support USB-C charging), the new batteries keep even the most power-hungry gadgets fully charged.
TURBO Portable Batteries ($29.99 – $89.99)
With capacities ranging from 5,200mAh to 20,800mAh, TYLT has brought technology back to portable batteries with this new product line. The 10X Turbo Portable Battery has a 50W output and supports both Type C Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge 2.0. It can be recharged in just five hours using TYLT’s DualFuel™ Technology, which allows users to plug into both the Type C port and the micro-USB port for charging. Capable of charging 75% faster than traditional 1A chargers, the Turbo Portable Chargers are compact, yet incredibly powerful. (All Portable Batteries meet UL safety standards.) Photos | Spec Sheet
TURBO Smart Chargers ($39.99 – $99.99)
With the ability to power laptops that support USB-C connector charging, TYLT’s Turbo Smart Charger is the company’s most powerful 2-in-1 wall charger and portable battery to date. With a 13,400mAh internal battery, QuickCharge 2.0 integration, one USB Type-C port, one 2.4A USB Type-A port, a built-in micro-USB or Lightning cable and collapsible AC prongs, the Turbo Smart Charger combines the industry’s most innovative technologies into one compact device. Thanks to TYLT’s PowerProng Technology, fully charging the battery takes only two and a half hours, and with the ability to provide up to 45W of power, it’s the perfect accessory for even the most power-hungry smartphones, tablets and laptops.

Samsung wants to make sure you know full well that the TabPro S is a Windows 10 tablet despite the Galaxy moniker, so far reserved for the company’s Android lineup. In this latest infographic Windows is only mentioned some 8 times, but other key selling points of the TabPro S have been highlighted as well.
It’s the best of Galaxy tablets, thanks in no small part to its “long battery”. The full-size keyboard and touchpad are prominent features as well, making productivity more than a buzzword. The multi-port adapter is not the best thing to advertise, but we figure fitting full size USB and HDMI ports on a 6.3mm-thin tablet might have been on the impossible side of being an engineering challenge.

Durante el famoso CES 2016 en Las Vegas, una de las marcas más populares de fabricación de relojes como es Casio ha anunciado su primer smartwatch, que vendrá ni más ni menos con Android Wear. Se trata del Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10, y a primera vista parece un reloj inteligente muy distinto a lo que estamos acostumados a ver.
Los smartwatches son el futuro, y una marca como Casio no ha querido quedarse atrás. Casio ha escogido a Android Wear para dar este importantísimo paso, y ha apostado por un reloj “de aventuras”, es decir, busca a un público deportista.
Este reloj inteligente no es un Android Wear convencional; el Casio Smart Outdoor Watch ha sido diseñado para ser usado en la naturaleza, por lo que no tiene un acabado elegante y cuidado como los Samsung Gear o los Huawei Watch, pero sin embargo es robusto y pesa 93 gramos. En consecuencia, sus dimensiones son un poco más crecidas de lo que estamos acostumbrados a ver: 61.7 milímetros de alto por 56.4 milímetros de altura y un grosor de 15.7 milímetros.
En su parte derecha este smartwatch incorpora 3 botones: “Tool”, donde podremos seleccionar entre diferentes herramientas del reloj, “Power”, para encender/apagar o desbloquear el dispositivo, y “App”, que nos permite acceder a las diferentes aplicaciones de Casio o Android Wear. En su parte izquierda tan solo incorpora uno, “Sensor”, que será el encargado de cambiar entre un sensor u otro.
En el apartado de la connectividad este reloj inteligente da la talla; Bluetooth 4.0, y connectividad Wi-Fi. Entre sus características destacan la resistencia al agua hasta 50 metros, sensores como brújula, acelerómetro o barómetro especialmente adaptados para deportes “al aire libre” como trekking, ciclismo, pesca, alpinismo o caza. Tanto es así que este Casio ha sido certificado por el ejército de los Estados Unidos.
Todos estos elementos los mezclas con Android Wear y consigues un reloj ideal y completo que desde del CES han asegurado que tendrá un día entero de autonomía, aunque hasta que no lo probemos definitivamente no hay nada sobreseguro.
Para ir terminando, Casio ha confirmado que su reloj estará disponible para comprar en Abril de este año, pero no ha especificado en qué países desembarcará. Donde sí nos ha sorprendido, en principio, a peor, es en su precio, alrededor de unos 500 dólares, algo bastante por encima de los smartwatch que hemos visto hasta ahora, pero en cierta medida justificado; porque integra funciones y sensores únicos a parte de la mejor calidad por parte de Casio, además de que busca un público muy concreto.
En definitiva, compraríamos este reloj si somos alguien que pasa mucho rato en bici, corriendo por la montaña o en general deportes al aire libre o de aventuras. Es durable y tiene un diseño ideal para ello, pero no se puede comparar por ejemplo con un Samsung Gear S2 o un Moto 360, que en definitiva no tienen nada que ver. Toda la información adicional en su página web.
¿Qué te parece _a priori este Casio inteligente?_
