Verykool

Verykool is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Verykool rather than just read about it. In short: Verykool (styled as verykool) was a series of mobile phones, tablets and accessories by Hipercell USA LLC, a company with headquarters in Miami, FL. The line was launched in 2006 by Infosonics Inc. and includes accessories, cell phones, tablets and smartphones.

Key takeaways

  • Verykool belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Verykool to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Verykool from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Verykool (styled as verykool) was a series of mobile phones, tablets and accessories by Hipercell USA LLC, a company with headquarters in Miami, FL. The line was launched in 2006 by Infosonics Inc. and includes accessories, cell phones, tablets and smartphones. The verykool product line is sold in over 20 countries. It is marketed under the verykool brand name in the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean where they are shipped to network operators, retailers and distributors. verykool is known for its line of inexpensive unlocked phones with dual sim card options as well as its rugged line of phones.

History The verykool line was launched in 2006 by InfoSonics Corporation, a publicly traded company that operated as a telecommunication product distributor since 1994. The company was a distributor of products supplied by Samsung, VK Corporation, LG, Novatel and others. InfoSonics Corporation ceased its distribution business in 2012 and became solely a manufacturer of its own product line. InfoSonics began shipping its first line of verykool products to Central America in 2007. This included the verykool i500 and i230 wireless handsets.

The verykool product line was expanded in 2013 with the release of the verykool s350 and the verykool RS75. The RS75 is part of the verykool rugged line of mobile phones. It is a dust and waterproof phone with an Ingress Protection rating of IP67 and tempered, scratch-resistant glass display. InfoSonics also began marketing its mobile devices in the United States in 2013 due to the demand of inexpensive unlocked phones. That same year InfoSonics released the verykool s470, also called the Black Pearl. The Black Pearl is comparable to the Moto X from Motorola Mobility with a 1.2 GHz processor and 4.7-inch screen. It also includes Dual SIM technology allowing users to switch between two SIM cards within the phone. It is compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile and overseas GSM networks, and was called an alternative to the Nexus 5 by Mobile Tech Reviews. verykool products entered the tablet market in 2012 with the release of the verykool R800, a tablet that was marketed to outdoor users. The tablet was integrated with Wi-Fi, 3G connectivity, e-compass, and GPS. It also had mobile call capability when using a 3G network and with its IPX5 rating was considered waterproof. 2014 saw the release of the verykool KolorPad (T742), an entry-level tablet. The KolorPad runs off Android Jelly Bean 4.2 and has a 7-inch screen with a 2,500mAh battery. It is Wi-Fi equipped and also runs off 3G where available. During the last quarter of 2018, Hipercell USA LLC acquired all verykool intellectual property rights from Cool Holdings, Inc. after closing an agreement to transfer the verykool trademark and related intellectual property assets (Infosonics Inc. changed its name to Cool Holdings, Inc effective on June 8, 2018 ). As the current trademark owner, Hipercell USA LLC, plans to launch a new line of verykool smartphones soon to be unveiled.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Verykool

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Verykool claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Verykool before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Verykool ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Verykool

In research
Verykool appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Verykool in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Verykool is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Mobile phones, Smartphones, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Verykool outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
