shazé recently launched a new multimedia tech kit called the Hi:P7, which stands for high performance, consisting of seven features. These features include a four-in-one cable dock that can connect to Android and iOS devices, smartphone stand, audio splitter, screen wiper, an earphone wire manager and a pen with a stylus at the back.

Let's take a closer look in the next few slides.

All of this comes in a small pouch that you can easily carry around, though the pouch isn’t pocket friendly. The pouch has grooves in the protective foam layer inside so that you can place the different components. The multimedia tech kit will prove handy for people who are always on the go and extensively use their smartphones.

The cable connection dock has four different ports to connect to your Android, iOS and other devices through USB. The four ports include Apple’s older 30-pin and their new Lighting port, and also the universal mini-USB and micro-USB ports for Android and other devices. Through these ports you can not only charge your devices but also mount and transfer data between your device and computer. The overall build of the dock isn't quite sturdy, so rough usage is a big no.

There’s also a stand for your smartphone that lets you place your smartphone in either a vertical or horizontal position to say, watch videos or play music without holding the phone. It also houses an audio splitter that connects through a 3.5mm audio jack and further lets you connect two more speakers or earphones. At the bottom it has a screen wiper and does a decent job of getting rid of fingerprints from your display. To prevent your earphone wires from tangling up, there’s a slit where you can stuff those wires.

Finally, it has a ball-point pen which also works as a stylus from the other end. Some people find using the stylus more comfortable on a tablet or a phablet phone instead of using their fingers to tap on the screen.

Though the multimedia tech kit does include a couple of useful features, a few more features like a small capacity power bank in the cable dock, a lamp in the stylus, and an option between the airplane adaptor and audio splitter would have been nice. Only if the given feature set is exactly what you were looking for, is the asking price justified. 

The entire multimedia tech kit costs Rs. 999/- and is available on their website through online purchase and also in their stores across India.
