I have already brought you two personal experiences with the TEMU store, much discussed for some issues related to privacy, as well as feared for the very low prices at which it offers some gadgets. In this regard, the title of this review speaks for itself, as I personally benefited from the free shipping (not for everyone) of some technological items and just today, before the grand finale regarding the free tablet, I will tell you about 4 gadgets that you can find for a few euros. Will it be worth it or is it the usual junk at a negligible cost but that it would have been better to save? I will tell you in this review, where I will also leave you some alternatives that you can find on Amazon.
Topics of this article:
MAGSAFE POWER BANK
The first gadget I'm talking about is a power bank, in my case the 5000 mAh version but there are also 10000 mAh or 20000 mAh versions available, in any case even the smallest version is fine for emergencies. In my case the product comes in a military green color but there are also other colors: in reality the same product is available with other brands but basically we are always talking about the same product rebranded with various brands.
Specifically, this power bank offers the possibility of charging smartphones equipped with MagSafe, primarily iPhones but also Android devices with the help of compatible MagSafe covers. In reality, through wireless charging we can also provide energy to headphones or smartphones equipped with wireless charging technology. The output power in wireless mode is 15W while via the cable it reaches 22.5W. Yes, we can also use the cable with USB-A connection to charge devices not equipped with wireless mode and charging can also occur for two devices at the same time, for example an iPhone via MagSafe and headphones via cable. Simple but multifunctional product that has absolutely not disappointed me.
SPEAKER BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth speakers come in all shapes and colors, but they are rarely seen this cheap and complete. This gadget is inspired by the shapes and colors of the most famous JBL speakers, even in the logo of this brand that goes by the name of T&G. The speaker I chose has a military camouflage color and the shape is typical of a cylinder with a non-slip base, while the upper part has a convenient handle for transport, also counting on splashproof resistance.
Built-in 1200 mAh battery, rechargeable via Type-C in about 2 hours, guarantees up to 4 hours of continuous playback, ideal for a day trip or for listening to music by the pool or on the beach. 52 mm drivers but not balanced in terms of bass, which are a little dull but overall a more than acceptable audio for light-hearted use at the beach, in the mountains etc.. This speaker amazed me for its versatility of connection, offering the possibility of reading audio content via micro SD, USB-A but also for AUX connection which at the same time via a specific mode also performs the function of FM Radio. Of course, there is also a Bluetooth connection and a series of buttons to control the volume, skip music track or change FM Radio station, play / pause, on / off, stop, and change mode. But it does not end there as we can also manage calls from the smartphone. In short, a speaker that can do everything, with a very low cost and above all with audio that is not as bad as you would expect from a product costing a few euros.
RGB LED DESKTOP LIGHTS
This gadget for what it offers at the selling price is perhaps the best of the four that I am proposing to you. We are talking about a pair of desktop lights with RGB LEDs. Made entirely of plastic, these lights by TEMU have a base that allows the light itself to be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on where we want to pair them, for example a PC monitor or behind a TV. In any case, these lights will create the right atmosphere for music, films and gaming, being able to manage a good part of the effects available even with a practical remote control.
They connect via USB-A and a remote control is also inserted into the cable that allows you to turn the LEDs on/off or vary the light effect or enable the synchronization of the lights to the rhythm of the music. But it doesn't end there, because we also have an application that allows you to manage the LED lights directly from your smartphone, being able to vary the intensity, the speed of the effect, draw from many RGB effects, enable the sync to the rhythm of the music and much more. The atmosphere effect is guaranteed, especially if you place the lights behind a TV. Superb for gaming, top for chromatic relaxation.
WIRELESS CHARGING FOR CARS
The last but not least gadget from TEMU is a wireless charging mat (pad) to be inserted in the car. We are talking about a "trivial" rectangular silicone mat that in my case seems to be made specifically for the size of the glove compartment of the DR 5.0. Inside, however, we have coils for wireless charging of compatible devices with a maximum power of 15W. The silicone surface has some grooves that increase the grip with the smartphone and do not let it slip when we are driving with the car. Nothing else to say except that it works well and does what it promises to perfection. Say goodbye to loose cables or anything else.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
I would not have expected to be satisfied with all 4 gadgets received for free from TEMU. Personally, before starting this sort of "collaboration" and I say it in quotes because apart from the free shipping of the products, the store is in no way sponsoring the item or anything else, I had already purchased from this store and was quite satisfied, but I always perfected my purchase with non-technological products. I must admit that after this absolutely positive experience, I will try to buy tech products at my own expense, and are you already TEMU customers or are you afraid of an anti-privacy conspiracy?
