  It was a pleasant surprise. Its major positives are the very good FM reception, even without the antenna extended, at least in the city, as well as the clear sound that is not shrill but also has low frequencies, relative to its size. Another thing I liked was that it works directly in the sun, even without the battery, only with solar power. The rechargeable battery is Li-ion 18650 1200mAh 3.7V. It has a USB 5V output for the light that comes with the radio. I assume you can also charge your phone a bit, but it didn't work for me with the iPhone 8 Plus. The Bluetooth connection is easy. I didn't try a USB stick or microSD with mp3, I assume they work with the control buttons it has on the top. I like the retro look it has. It can also be charged with micro USB (not type C).

  Average build quality (expected for its price) and the volume button is somewhat abrupt when increasing the volume at the beginning. When you increase it too much, which is possible, distortions in the sound start to occur.

  If someone wants a portable radio (it is not particularly heavy) with good reception and sound, with the ability to work with solar power and without demanding HiFi requirements, I recommend it. It is good to have a radio in case of emergency, it has FM/AM/SW, or for outdoor use. I personally use it at home. I hope it also withstands the test of time.
