Ehem. Didn’t expect to have own a Pixel Art gadget, or actually I never know Pixel Art is a type of digital drawing until I received this cutie gift - Divoom Ditoo-Pro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker
Meet this adorable digital display + bluetooth speaker. 😊
Look at the little lever, look at the lights effects. Aww... so adorable.
There’s a Planner features in Ditoo, which allows you to setup your daily routine and the Ditoo will display accordingly when the time hit. Eg a Coffee art during 3-4PM, my settings. It’s a kind of ceremony you know, to add a little fun to the dull hours. This is the features I like the most.
And tell you what, I’m having digital pet on my desk, the swimming fish. AHAHA.
1. Ditoo-Light: this will allow you to setting the device, upload your pixel art, setup the alarm and planner or voice command etc features that available in the apps.
2. Ditoo-Audio: for audio output, for speaker purpose.
So the game is you may connect your phone to control the device, but connect to your PC for the music playing.
1. The battery life is extremely low. It can last only 12 -14 hours, it die so fast that you have to take care the device instead of get it to entertain yourself. The options are either turn it on only when necessary or plug in the cable all the time to keep it alive.
2. The charging port is a type-C. I’m so happy to see it come with type-C port, BUT! It can’t be simply charge via your smartphone charger due to the voltage differences. It works only if you have a 5V charger or else you will have to charge it using the in-box cable. This made me an additional charging cable on my desk, I thought it can share with the iPad’s cable 😟
3. So the battery life is so short that it encourage you to on/off it everyday, BUT ironically, the on/off button is BEHIND the device with a lid covered! Damn. Sometimes I do think that the product designer never use these product themselves. If the on/off is so important it might as well place as one of the key on the keyboard area or if there is a schedule to turn off the device easily.
So here’s the thing, when the battery life is so short that required you to on/off everyday, and it’s so troublesome in reaching the on/off button, you would started to question the purpose of turn it on. LOL.
The Appearance
Ditoo has bigger size than I expect, a clumsy & heavy baby - 533gram with a vintage PC design, the mini keyboard with blue keys, overall the quality is extremely good. I feel like keep touching it all the time.The Sound Quality
This fella is a speaker. Yea. Seriously I’m not sure if Divoom’s focus point is speaker or the pixel art, because both of them are so good. The sound quality is good enough for my daily use, watching drama or listen to podcast. P/s: music is not my daily thing, but for me the music playing sounds good too!The Pixel Art
If you look at Divoom's product line, their focus is on Pixel Art. Ditoo-pro support up to 16x16 pixel art drawing and display. By using their apps, you can draw the art yourself, or get from their community. Of course you can publish your designs to the community to gain some fans.There’s a Planner features in Ditoo, which allows you to setup your daily routine and the Ditoo will display accordingly when the time hit. Eg a Coffee art during 3-4PM, my settings. It’s a kind of ceremony you know, to add a little fun to the dull hours. This is the features I like the most.
And tell you what, I’m having digital pet on my desk, the swimming fish. AHAHA.
The Connections
Ditoo can be connected via bluetooth and coming with 2 types of bluetooth connection, make sure you connect to the correct one to play the music.1. Ditoo-Light: this will allow you to setting the device, upload your pixel art, setup the alarm and planner or voice command etc features that available in the apps.
2. Ditoo-Audio: for audio output, for speaker purpose.
So the game is you may connect your phone to control the device, but connect to your PC for the music playing.
The Battery Life & Charging Method
Consider Ditoo as a display or a speaker, I perhaps it is not for 24 hours use. The battery life actually significantly impacting the user experience:1. The battery life is extremely low. It can last only 12 -14 hours, it die so fast that you have to take care the device instead of get it to entertain yourself. The options are either turn it on only when necessary or plug in the cable all the time to keep it alive.
2. The charging port is a type-C. I’m so happy to see it come with type-C port, BUT! It can’t be simply charge via your smartphone charger due to the voltage differences. It works only if you have a 5V charger or else you will have to charge it using the in-box cable. This made me an additional charging cable on my desk, I thought it can share with the iPad’s cable 😟
3. So the battery life is so short that it encourage you to on/off it everyday, BUT ironically, the on/off button is BEHIND the device with a lid covered! Damn. Sometimes I do think that the product designer never use these product themselves. If the on/off is so important it might as well place as one of the key on the keyboard area or if there is a schedule to turn off the device easily.
So here’s the thing, when the battery life is so short that required you to on/off everyday, and it’s so troublesome in reaching the on/off button, you would started to question the purpose of turn it on. LOL.
Conclusions
A very cute and vibes-building gadget. Although it having battery lasting issue, but it do provides quality vibes that helps you to enjoy certain hours or tasks. Also with the mini art display, it provides digital fun like.. get a on screen pet. like me. 😆
