This is one welcome design approach that the Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth speakerphone brings to the table. It features a metallic design with minimal plastic use.

However, it is bulky compared to similar-sized counterparts. The speakerphone has a bunch of physical keys that help with audio control and also pair with supported devices. Speaking of the set of keys, the speakerphone has the volume down key on the top left followed by the Bluetooth pairing, mic off/mute, call, and the volume key. All the keys are LED enabled and they glow up as soon as you power up the speakerphone. Overall, the Maxhub BM21 speakerphone has an apt design for small to medium-sized meeting rooms.

Increasing the volume level helps if it’s a large conference table or a meeting room. The speaker supports high-fidelity sound transmission that allows for refined audio transmission of every member speaking in the meeting room. At no point, did we find the audio getting muffled even at higher levels. We have tested the speakerphone’s experience with Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet and had a good experience overall.

The Maxhub BM21 Bluetooth speakerphone supports both wireless and wired connectivity. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack that lets you pair it with any laptop or computer.

But you can always plug in the charger if the speakerphone is running out of fuel.

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G Renders Hints A Revamped Design; What Else We Know?

Samsung is ready to bring a new Galaxy M series phone to the audience. The Galaxy M53 5G is the upcoming mid-range phone which is ready to debut in the global markets likely in April. The handset has made appearances on several certification websites and also benchmark websites. A fresh report via Ytechbb reveals the M53 5G’s full design. How different is it from the previous gen-model? Read on to know:

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G Full Renders Out

The Samsung Galaxy M53 leaked renders show Samsung has revamped the design majorly compared to the previous model. This time, Samsung has opted for a square module unlike the vertical camera setup on the Galaxy M52. The back panel isn’t textured and rather has a single-tome paint job. Moreover, it seems to be a flat-edged frame that the Galaxy M53 5G adorns. No design change upfront.

The Galaxy M53 5G also has the same centrally-aligned punch-hole camera cutout and a narrow-bezel profile; much like the Galaxy M52 5G. The right panel has both volumes as well the power key. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner remains intact here as well. The new design language opted for by the company is definitely a welcome approach.

Thanks to the leaks and benchmark website listings, we are also aware of the Galaxy M53 key features. Samsung is making some changes in terms of the hardware compared to the Galaxy M52 5G. One of the major hardware differences would be the Galaxy M53 5G’s chipset.

While the previous-gen model, i.,e, the Galaxy M52 used a Snapdragon series chipset (Snapdragon 778G SoC), the Galaxy M53 5G will be packed with the MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor. Performance-wise, the Snapdragon 778G processor is slightly more powerful compared to the Dimensity 900 SoC. It would be interesting to see if Samsung keeps the pricing of the new model on the lower side by using a slightly downgraded chipset compared to the last variant.
