Prynt Pocket unboxing and review: A printer that prints videos?

Published

on

Let’s admit it: We are a nostalgic bunch, hence the need for something we can hold, even in the age of digital multimedia. 

Some devices attempt to tap into that human sentimentality. Gadgets like the recently released Instax camera (which allows you to edit digitally before printing your photos) and Polaroid SnapTouch (which is a camera and printer in one) attempt to stay relevant by adding modern touches to the age-old concept of printed pictures — and I lapped these ideas up.

If you disagree and believe that Polaroids and Instax photos are a waste of time, you might as well stop reading now.

Introducing: the Prynt Pocket

The Prynt Pocket is basically a tiny printer you connect to your iPhone via Lightning port. What’s so special about this cute device is it can print your videos — well, photos that you can play as videos. More on that later. Before anything else, here’s a quick unboxing.

The Prynt Pocket comes in a clean white box with orange details. (Pencils and Instax not included.)

Our unit is in cute lavender. Other available colors are mint, black, and gray.

The front is where you plug in your iPhone. This device is compatible with the iPhone 5, 5s, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, and in theory, the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus since it’s a Lightning pin on a dock that adjusts to phone size.

On one side is the slot for the film cartridge plus an indicator light, shutter button, and zoom dial.

The other side is where the photo prints out and a micro-USB port for charging.

The box comes with a pack of 10 sticker paper, a micro-USB cable, the printing cartridge, and user guide. (Again, colored pencils not included, but admittedly cute with the color scheme.)

What's inside the Prynt Pocket box

And now, on to actually using it!

How it works

Before anything else, you need to download the Prynt app which can be easily found on the App Store. I was able to set this up — which included loading the cartridge with paper and attaching the cartridge to the device — by following the Prynt app prompts (because who reads manuals anyway).

Take a photo or video of whatever subject you have — in this case, it was Marnie, the dog who was a great model. Good girl.

The Prynt app gives a slew of editing options. From borders, to text, to filters, and even memes — the app welcomes your boundless creativity.

Printing is simple enough. A tap of the print button gives us a Marnie sticker print out!

The best part, however, is what happens when you scan these photos using the Prynt app:

THE VIDEO WILL PLAY! If you did not get my excitement from that last sentence, let me tell you plain and simple: This thing is awesome and amazing! The whole process reminds me of those moving photos from Harry Potter’s Hogwarts!

Another cool feature is once you scan the photos and the video starts playing, a record button appears and you can immortalize the scan forever.

For good measure, I did a scan of Marnie’s Prynt photo with Marnie in the background and results were… well, the cutest I’ve seen in any of my tech reviews.

Imagine the possibilities!

You don’t even need the Prynt Pocket device to scan the photos. All you need is the app installed on your phone.

Is the Prynt Pocket your GadgetMatch?

Admittedly, printing a photo so you could scan it to make a video does sound a little weird at first.

A lot of things can be said about the Prynt Pocket. It’s amazing and amusing, but it’s also a little bulky to hold and with no real practical use with a damage of US$ 150.

But, that’s just the thing. It’s not meant to be practical, it’s meant to be fun and, oh, the fun you could have with this!

More importantly, the Prynt Pocket succeeds where most photo-printing devices have failed: They’ve created a camera that prints photos with a substantial value add to the physical product — one that’s appreciated in the digital sphere.

The Prynt Pocket is a lot of things. It’s a camera, printer, video maker, and even a scanner! Most importantly, though, it’s also Instagram-able.

New SIHOO Doro C300 ergonomic chair launches with deals on Amazon

Now available in the US, UK

Published

on

The SIHOO Doro C300 ergonomic office chair has been unveiled in the United States and United Kingdom with deals on Amazon and the SIHOO website available.

The chair is available in Black and Gray for an introductory price of US$ 279.99 / £ 259.99 on the SIHOO website.

That’s a significant reduction from the regular retail pricing of US$ 559.99 / £ 339.99. In addition, customers can get the product from Amazon US or Amazon UK for US$ 279.99 / £ 279.99.

The Doro C300 is developed around SIHOO’s self-adaptive dynamic lumbar support system. It automatically tracks body movement and continuously aligns with the natural curve of the spine without manual adjustment.

It uses the brand’s BM Tracking System to respond instantly to twisting, leaning, and reclining. This ensures consistent lower back support and stability, regardless of posture or position.

The real-time adaptive support moves in sync with the user. This dynamic approach helps reduce pressure on the lower back and promotes proper spinal alignment in the process.

The chair also features a flexible and fully breathable mesh backrest, built around a triangular elastic support frame. It naturally conforms to the body and moves side to side.

Moreover, a smart weight-sensing mechanism with integrated spring system automatically adapts reclining resistance based on the user’s weight.

The Doro C300 can support 110°, 120°, and 130° recline angles. On the top part is a neck and head support with extra-large 3D mechanical headrest. This, too, adjusts precisely in multiple directions and locks securely in place.

Furthermore, 4D armrests with soft PU padding adjust in multiple directions and synchronize with the backrest as it reclines for consistency.

Onto its seat cushion, the Doro C300’s seat is engineered to distribute pressure evenly across thighs and hips.

Sony WF-1000XM6 is out now: Price, availability

The new model features better noise cancellation and a redesign.

Published

on

Well, the rumors are true. After briefly showing up in a leak last month, the new Sony WF-1000XM6 is finally here. Sony is launching its latest wireless earbuds today, alongside the debut of a pink colorway option for last year’s WH-1000XM6.

But first, here’s the Sony WF-1000XM6.

Once again, Sony is improving on the lineup’s noise cancellation technology. The earbuds will pack a third-generation QN3e, the brand’s HD Noise Cancelling Processor. The processor can supposedly achieve a 25 percent better noise reduction, compared to the previous generation. Each earbud will also have four microphones to further bolster noise cancellation.

As the leaks hinted previously, the Sony WF-1000XM6 features a redesign for the popular wireless earbuds series. The earbuds themselves are now more pill-shaped and are returning to a matte texture. The brand says that the redesign will help with noise cancellation, comfort, and stability.

Meanwhile, the charging case switches over from a pill-shaped design to a sharper one.

Like its predecessors, the earbuds will boast studio quality design. Calling functionality, likewise, will get a boost, thanks to a bone conduction sensor, two microphones for AI beamforming, and AI-based noise cancellation to isolate voices from background noise.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 debuts today with two colorway options: Platinum Silver and Black. Both variants will sell for US$ 329.99.

If that’s not enough, the Sony WH-1000XM6, the lineup’s larger sibling, will debut a Sand Pink colorway option. The new model will carry the same price tag: US$ 459.99. However, interested buyers can enjoy an initial sale price of US$ 399.99 through February 15.

UPDATE: Singapore price and availability

The WF-1000XM6 in Black and Platinum Silver is available in Singapore from early March 2026 with a suggested retail pricing at SGD 479.

Buyers who pre-order will receive an exclusive blind box containing a specially curated set of Lanyard and Pouch (worth SGD79.90), upon successful product warranty registration from now to March 31, 2026, while stocks last.

Trade-in program when you pre-order the WF-1000XM6:
