Let's begin
The delivery time was very quick, It came only 1 day after Mocreo contacted me, which is excellent!
So, when I actually opened the package, I was greeted by some excellent packaging. The packaging is high quality, it's sturdy and has a great feel to it whilst unboxing. Clearly a lot more work put into it than other speakers I have had in the past.

Opening the box I was greeted with the speaker first, and underneath it, the micro USB (To charge it), an audio jack connector and the quick start guide.
Taking the speaker out of the plastic wrapper it was encased in, the speaker has a very nice weight to it. It feels sturdy, durable. The top and bottom red parts have a nice soft rubber feel to them, as do the side parts (where the on off switch is, and the opposite part).
The controls on the side are easy to use, and they are labeled clearly. Below the 2 switches there are the ports with a rubber cover to protect them. There is a port for the micro USB to charge it with, an audio jack port, and a micro SD card slot.
On the top, there are controls for the speaker volume ("+" to adjust the volume upwards, or to change the song upwards, and "-" to adjust the volume downwards, or change the song backwards), which can also be used to change the song (As you probably picked up from what I said in the brackets). In the middle of the volume buttons there is a microphone, which is perfect for conference calls etc.
When you turn it on, you're welcomed by a voice saying "Hey, I'm ready, waiting for a connection". You can connect via Bluetooth, obviously, or by audio jack connection, or by inserting your Micro SD card, and the voice will let you know that you have connected whatever you connected.
The blue LED in the top left hand corner will let you know that it's turned on, and the red LED in the same place will let you know that it's charging.
The speaker is also waterproof, which is a fantastic feature and very useful for when I go out with my friends, and it starts to rain. I often keep the speaker in my bag when I'm out and about, and it sounds fantastic! The quality is very very good, and I think that it's overall an absolutely great speaker! Would I recommend it? Yes, I definitely would. I have only had it for a short while, and I have already been out, had it in my bag, handled it with wet hands, I went to go through all the tests I deemed necessary, and I can happily say it passed then with flying colors!​

The big red volume button looks funny , it may be more convenient

I want to know if i use it to answer a call, whether the sound quality will be affected

I can't get any useful information from your post for it lacks of some data to prove what you said. I found another post, it's more detailed:http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/accessories/review-mocreo-mosound-bar-water-t2861401

is my s6 defective?

I received mine early, next day delivery.
The phone works great, except for the camera. It has issues auto-focusing. If I double tap the home the camera remains unfocused for a lengthy period of time. Sometimes it will remain unfocused. Doesn't matter whether it's attempting to focus near or far, set to auto or selective focus mode, or opening from lock screen or camera app.

Did you remove the plastic?

I LOL'd then realized I haven't taken mine off either, yet.

Wow, I feel like an idiot.
I didn't realize there was a small bit of plastic attached to it.
It would explain why the focus worked when I "cleaned" the lens.
Also realized there are 2 pieces of plastic, on both the flash and the lens.

The plastic on the camrea doesnt cover the lense, so what the point of removing?

I made a post on this in the main S6/Edge section. I'll make it in here too. Be careful not scratching the lens or flash. The flash one is very hard to get off. Stupid Samsung doesn't put tabs on them so it would be easier to pull off.
You don't have to pull them off but I like to since maybe it's causing a glare.

I have a faint white line next to the tower. Not sure if it's because of the protectors.

So I removed both covers, and it's helped some, but the auto-focus is still a little slow.
Here's the screwed up part, if I pick up the phone while facing screen side up and then double tap the home, the auto-focus is sluggish (takes 2-5 seconds to focus)
If I leave the phone screen side down and then flip it up, double tap home for the quick cam, the auto-focus is quicker (camera is already focused by the time the screen activates).
If I flip the camera screen side down while it's having trouble focusing, the focus may catch and actually work.
I don't think this is normal.

[REVIEW] Lumsing Bluetooth Sports Headphones

Bottom Line:
I love this product, really simple to use, comfortable fit and I enjoyable to use, very simple to just pick up and start using and ive found myself just grabbing these for a quick hangouts call or when watching a video on my laptop. Its happy to be paired to more than one device.
In The Box:
In the box is the headphones with a total of 4 ear-buds and 4 different size ear hooks. There is also a short flat micro USB lead used for charging the headphones.

Hands on
The headphones look lovely and premium, all black with white ear-buds and ear hooks and a grey Lumsing logo on the both sides. Around each side is a circle of chrome which looks nice. The right side Lumsing logo doubles as a sneaky button used for on / off and Bluetooth pairing. Also on the right is a volume up and down button and microphone hole if using as a hands free for phone calls etc. The left side only has a small input for the micro USB charging which has a rubber cover.
I tested this out on my Android Galaxy S6 and my HP laptop, it was happy to pair with both and save the pairing of more than one device which was useful as I sometimes use these for my laptop and sometimes for my phone depending on what im doing. The pairing was really easy, just hold the button long enough and it enters pairing mode and thats pretty much it. Putting these on, they sit in my ears really snugly, so snug that its like having my fingers in my ears so when I talk it sounds like im underwater. They do a great job of sitting in and shutting out the outside ambient sounds. This also means that the sound quality and volume they are capable of delivering is pretty good considering their size and how light weight they are. They come with ear hooks which I dont really get how to use so I've just ignored them, I haven't had any issues with these falling out of my ears, even when I use these when running they sit in there fine. There are different size ear buds depending on the size of your ears there should be something for you.
So far I've been using these for a week over Christmas and I've been really happy with them, the ease to just pick them up when I want to watch something on my laptop, I just turn them on and my laptop (windows 10) auto pairs with them no problem and the sound just switches to coming out of these. So far I havent had to charge the battery, seems to just keep going...
Positive points
+Really simple to use
+Comfortable and snug fit
+stays put even when running
+Great sound quality
+supplied with different size ear buds
+stylish looks
+can be used for phone hands free
Negative points
-No idea how to use the ear hooks but dont really need them.
Score
My Score out of 5:
5 out of 5 love them, never going back to wired headphones. I reach for these every time now!

Question little dent above the flash?

So, anyoneknow what the little hole/dent is above the flash? Doesnt seem to serve any purpose, but guess its there for a reason. At first i thought it was a chip in the glass, but then searched and saw they all have them.

Maybe it is the zoom microphone for video? That is what I think.

I just checked the official hardware diagram, and it's not explained there. The one you refer to (above the flash) is not part of the diagram at all, I just checked my phone and I also got a small hole above the flash, even though there is no indication about it on the diagram. There are also 2 little holes clearly visible above/between the wide and ultrawide cams that are also not explained.
Mh. Might be a rear microphone, as Markus_G assumes, but we don't know for sure.
Since it's the only part of the rear camera module that has an actual hole (cutout in the glass), it's probably relatively safe to assume that it's a microphone.

It is known for certainty that the P6 Pro has a secondary, ambient light sensor inside the rear camera module (plus one at the front next to the selfie cam). But we don't know for sure which hole is which.

I just checked the previous hardware diagrams, and in some of them Google added a couple of informations retroactively.
I highlighted the interesting part.
This is just odd. I checked my old P4 and there is the same cutout next to the flash that you referred to above the P6 flash. BUT that cutout is not mentioned - not even shown, it doesn't exist - on the P6 diagram. I can only assume that the P6 Pro diagram is wrong/does not represent the final product that was launched. It seems that Google needs to update it's diagram, since it refers to - probably - a pre-production model/state.

ah it is indeed a mic....

Not on the hole, but the flash emits a tiny bit of light at all times. You can see it in darkness after your eyes have adapted to it.

Only if its been activated recently. Takes a little while but it does indeed go completely dim.

That explains, I use the torch a lot before going to sleep to avoid waking anybody up.

Its one of the noise cancelling mic's isn't it?

Possibly under some contexts, but likely used for taking audio with videos.

Question Questions about Fold 3

Hi there, I've been waiting for the S22 unveil to see if it has a notch or not, and unfortunately for me, it does. So I'm now looking into the Fold 3, but I haven't got one in my hands yet, all I know is from pictures on the internet. A couple of questions I have, how noticeable is the camera hidden behind the screen? And, how noticeable is the crevice in the middle of the fold screen after a few months of use?

It's a lower res part of the screen (when opened) over the camera but to me it's not noticable

do you really disregard specs and choose your phones based on the notch? if so, there are phones without any notch at all like Asus phones.
Back to your question, you barely notice the notch when you're using the inner display. Actually you don't notice it most of the time because of the immersive experience

100% they did a good job at hiding the camera on the inside screen. You have to look for it in order to notice it. All your screen activity plays over the camera hole. So while I'm writing this it is currently the exact same grey as the rest of my notification bar. If I'm watching a YouTube video. Don't ever see it.

It looks like dot pattern circle, but it's not a big deal, to be honest.

Unless you know where and what to look for, you won't notice the camera notch and it it much better then punch hole. As for the crease in the middle, as long as the screen is in front of you, you won't even see it. For me it is much more bother to the finger then to the eye. Any way if you're into foldable, you wouldn't care about these.

I've had the Z Fold 3 for a couple of weeks now. While the underscreen camera is noticeable, it is much better than having a holepunch in your display. The crease is noticeable from certain angles, but once you are using the Z Fold 3. You will start to notice it less. These are all my perspectives of the Z Fold 3 for now
