The last Beats Pill speaker, the Beats Pill+, launched in 2015. This new iteration looks similar on the outside, but has a slew of new features and design changes. It is now IP67 water and dust resistant, has up to 24 hours of battery life, charges with USB-C (and can charge small devices like a smartphone if plugged in), and works well on both Android and iPhone devices.

It comes in red, black and gold. Leica D-Lux 8 Point and Shoot Camera On the outside, the Leica’s D-Lux 8 looks very similar to 2020’s D-Lux 7 point and shoot camera . If you look closer, there are a few big changes, including a new button layout, menu system, improved screen and more detailed viewfinder.

It can also save RAW DNG files for most photo editing possibilities after shooting. Harry Rabinowitz , NBC Select reporter, tried the D-Lux 8 for about two weeks ahead of launch after the brand loaned him one to try out. He loved how small and pocketable the camera was — it was easy to hold with one hand, fit into a jacket pocket or slip into a crossbody bag.

It also took excellent pictures,.
