Seaside or mountain? Or, perhaps, the best option for February and the rest of the summer is to stay in the city. Whatever the case, and regardless of your preference when it comes to choosing where to spend your vacation or weekend getaway, there are certain things you can’t go wrong: a good camera, speaker or a waterproof cell phone can make the summer experience even better.
Accessories and smartphones have become a useful tool for work and education, but they also provide useful applications that can make your long-awaited vacation easier: navigation apps, to know the location you want to get to; accommodation apps; translators in case you don’t speak the local language; calculators to know the exchange rate to another currency; and to monitor your tan, among others.
But you also have to take precautions. Not all devices are suitable for submerging in water, being too much exposed to the sun or being filled with sand on the beach or dirt in the mountains. “At Entel, we seek the best experience for our customers in any situation, and we try to bring the infinite benefits of technology to them. For this reason, we have devices and accessories that are useful for making the most of all the panoramas”, explains Entel’s assistant product manager for terminals, Ignacio Reyes.
Smartphones: the most important summer ally
There are several important tips for taking care of the phone and not having a bad time. First of all, the key is to know the “IP Certification” of the handset. This means the level of protection that phones have against “particles or foreign bodies” such as water, dust or sand. Today, the ideal is to have IP67, which allows you to submerge it in water -with a depth of one meter and for a maximum of 30 minutes- and also to go trekking and get it dirty (see table for more information).
On the other hand, smartphone cameras are the ones that capture the best moments. The resolution of these will determine the quality of the summer snapshot you want to get, but there are also features such as the “wide angle” that they can have, allowing wider fields of view (mainly for landscapes) or allowing selfies with a wider range of coverage.
One of the worst situations in summer is running out of battery, especially for those days when there is no easy access to electricity. It is important to have a long battery life and Entel has mid-range battery phones. In the same way, it is important to consider the memory capacity of the phone, where the recommendation is to have at least 128 GB. Of course, connectivity is also key. It is advisable to connect to Entel’s 4G and 5G networks, with compatible devices and, in this way, enjoy its benefits to the fullest.
The perfect complement
A good book listening to music by the sea, a speaker to liven up a party with friends and family, a smartwatch to measure the kilometers and calories of trekking, or an external battery, are some of the accessories that cannot be missing and that complete the summer kit.
Today there are many options. For music lovers, the “Intouch twins PRO”, “Blik Parlante Rockwood” or the “Harman Kardon Onyx 7 Black” are the best options available at various prices. Regarding headphones, we recommend headphones with long battery life for long trips and with noise reduction so as not to lose concentration while reading..
External batteries can be our best ally to be able to use the performance of the phone or accessories to the fullest. The Duracell MAH 10050 and 20000 MAH Redmi 18W batteries are the most recommended. In the case of smartwatches, which today can measure body activity and allow you to leave your phone at home while staying connected, the best options are the Huawei Watch Band 7, the Xiaomi Watch S1 Active and the Huawei Watch Fit 2.
Finally, and in order to enjoy the summer getaway without worries, Entel has security cameras and smart light bulbs -such as the Gyrux 27- that turn on with the phone to make homes safer. Smart Homy’s indoor camera allows the camera to move at a 355° angle, view images in the dark, and detect and report movement.
