\u24d8 Valdus<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Valdus VD40 Pro costs just $23 despite decent specs, at least on paper<\/p>\n

Although there are likely to be some major question marks despite the enticing marketing claims, the Valdus VD40 Pro may be worth a look for some buyers due to its extremely low price and good looks. In any case, the financial risk is not particularly high.<\/p>\n

Most smartwatch buyers are likely to spend hundreds of dollars on their new watch<\/a>, even though there are much cheaper devices in this category on the market. Those who do not have high expectations and are mainly looking for a wearable with a decent screen may even find that a budget of $23 is enough. <\/p>\n

The Chinese online marketplace Alibaba<\/a> is currently selling the Valdus VD40 Pro, a surprisingly good-looking smartwatch with a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, for just $23. Potential shipping and import fees may still apply in some cases. Three different color variants are available at that price, and one apparently even ships with a stainless-steel strap. The watch case appears to be made from a zinc alloy. <\/p>\n

The advertised specs and features also read surprisingly well given the price. In addition to blood oxygen and blood pressure sensors, NFC, an IP68 rating, Bluetooth 5.4 and a voice assistant are allegedly included. However, how reliable and usable these functions ultimately are is highly questionable, especially from a software perspective. <\/p>\n

For example, it is not known which languages the pre-installed OS supports. Contactless payments are also unlikely to work outside of China. Bargain hunters should ultimately be aware that the health features of the Valdus VD40 Pro are most likely not trustworthy. However, as a backup watch or a gadget for tinkering, this very cheap smartwatch may still be suitable.<\/p>\n

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I\u2019m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u24d8 Valdus The Valdus VD40 Pro costs just $23 despite decent specs, at least on paper Although there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697148,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[214,49,48,237,195,215,207,213,206,216,212,208,209,226,61,211,210,254276],"class_list":["post-697147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-benchmarks","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-deal","tag-gadgets","tag-graphics-card","tag-laptop","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-processor","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-smartwatch","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests","tag-valdus-vd40-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697147\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
