GAN 356 i Carry 2 Smart Cube, Connected Bluetooth Cube 3x3 Speed Magnetic Cube Intelligent Tracking Timing Movements Steps with CubeStation App Smooth Turning and Wellubricated for Beginners Pros

I'm a 35 second average CFOP solver with a PB of 26 seconds. I use full PLL (a bit slowly) and two look OLL. I did have a Gan 365i2 but unfortunately it broke so I got a refund and ordered this cheaper one instead. First thing to notice is that the cube is a lot less crunchy then the 365i2. It seems to be very well lubricated and turns very smoothly. As I said earlier, I'm not particularly fast so I couldn't compare it to the very best speed cubes, but it feels like the fastest cube I've ever used. It comes with extra springs and screws so you can customise it to your preference, but I'm finding the default set-up to be just fine. Other differences between this and the 365i2 are the non rechargeable battery and lack of a gyroscope. I did like the gyroscope on the 356i2 but the extra cost just isn't worth it. The CubeStation app has come in for some criticism and some of it is justified. However, it is improving and there are some great features. I like the weekly world wide leader board which takes the average of your best 20 solves for the week and ranks them globally. This is great for comparing times with others, and gives motivation to try and get a top 20 solve to improve your average. You can have battles with others online which doesn't really interest me so I won't comment further. There's also a section on algorithms which I did look at but it does seem a bit complicated, maybe I'll take another look at some point. The app is still a bit cluttered and because it's originally in Chinese there are bits that haven't been translated well. There is so much more they could do with the stats section and hopefully they will develop it. I'd like to see - Stats on different PLL cases and time taken on each - Breakdown of how long to solve each F2L pairs - Similar analysis of AO5, AO12 and A100 that are used in the Go Cube/Rubiks Connected App - Ability to download the data so that I can carry out my own analysis in Excel As is said above, they are regularly updating the app so hopefully they will start to implement some of these things. If not, I'm sure that online timers such as Cubeast will be adding compatibility in the near future. For me, the whole concept is brilliant. Not worrying about timers and pressing the spacebar every time you complete a section of CFOP is massively liberating. I can't see that I'll ever go back to doing that. The cube is great and the app is improving. Best of all, for a price of £35 this is absolutely amazing value. Hopefully the availability issues will be sorted soon - when they are, this will become the most popular smart cube on the market.

good

I am just trying to get faster at solving a cube, before purchase, my PB was 43 seconds, however after I got my first solve with this particular cube it dropped down to 38 seconds It has smooth turning and magnetic positioning and I am very satisfied with this cube.

Just arrived and it does not turn on. Replacing the battery already is a headache as you’ll need to wait longer to get a replacement battery and these screws are extremely tiny. It’s a terrible experience. How are they selling a product with a battery that is dead? Yike

The app is partially in Chinese, so it loses a point for that as there's no English option. The parts of the app that are in English are OK, definitely needs some work done. We had issues synching the cube up. We previously had a faulty rubix cube that connected to phone and the app from that was far superior. It was difficult to solve the cube by using the app. It was a challenge to photograph, we had to enter it manually a lot and some of the time it just said there was an error and reset it! So be aware it's not as simple and easy as it automatically knowing the colour positions and telling you how to solve it but we did eventually manage to get the app to show how to solve it and we also used it to solve other cubes. Please update the app in English as that would be a huge help. Stars lost 1 due to the app issues and 1 for the cube not connecting and automatically knowing the positions of the colours like the rubix one did. This was the biggest disappointment factor in this cube. The cube itself is nice to use, turns easy and spins well. My son says it's very nice to use.

Was bought as a present cannot comment

The battery CR1632 was already flat out. Have to buy a new one to replace it.

We weren't sure how different it would be from normal cube but it has many helpful features. Improves timing, kids learn new algorithms, compete with players Etc. also eliminates need for a separate timer. Proving to be useful.

Uygulaması çok güzel çalışıyor. Güzel bir ürün

Ich beschäftige mich seit ca 10 Jahren mit Zauberwürfeln und bin seit über einem Jahr fortgeschrittener Speedcuber. Die Würfel von GAN sind seit dieser Zeit schon immer meine Favoriten unter den Cubes und ein wichtiger Bestandteil meiner Sammlung (über 60 verschiedene Würfel, 8 GAN-Cubes). Daher kann ich hier ein sehr gutes Feedback bezüglich der Funktionalität / Hardware geben. Bei dem Thema "Smartcubes" konnte ich bisher mit dem Giiker und Rubiks Connecteds Erfahrungen sammeln und habe daher auch auf diesem Gebiet gute Vergleichsmöglichekiten. Mit beiden bin ich an sich zufrieden, jedoch störten mich immer die Sticker. Und ganz ehrlich - ich hatte nur auf einen neuen Smartcube von GAN gewartet (die GAN 356i Serie hatte ich wegen der recht schlechten App immer gemieden) Hier nun erstmal alles in Kürze zusammengefasst: Positives: - sehr guter Speedcube - zahlreiche Einstellungsmöglichkeiten und damit individuell anpassbar - sehr leicht (im Vergleich zu anderen Samrtcubes wie dem "Giiker" zB) - die App reagiert zuverlässig auf jede Bewegung und das mit einer sehr guten Reaktionszeit - die detailreiche Auflistung des Lösungsweges inkl. visueller Darstellung - Übungsmodus für alle Algorithmen - Duell-Modus - keine Farbsticker Negatives: - das Erstellen eines Accounts kann sehr nervig sein - ich habe heirfür ca 30min gebraucht, da der Server scheinbar nicht erreichbar war - WLAN, Standort und Bluetooth müssen für die Benutzung aktiv sein - gelegentliche Abstürze der App bzw. Verbindungsabbrüche (kam bei mir 3mal in 4Stunden vor) - keine Einstellmöglichkeiten für die Stärke der Magnete - gehört bei anderen GAN-Würfeln zur Grundausstattung - nur 2 Sprachausgaben (Englisch + Chinesisch) - kein eingebautes Gyroskop (erkennt keine Rotation des Würfels) Zusammenfassung: Ja die App ist - wie auch bereits bei der GAN 356i Reihe - eine Baustelle. Jedoch habe ich in den letzten Wochen das Gefühl, dass daran regelmäßig gearbeitet wird und die Probleme weniger geworden sind. Das Anmelden und Erstellen eines Accounts benötigt auch etwas Ruhe und Nerven - aber am Ende lohnt es sich! Der GAN i Carry ist ein gelungener Smartcube, der sowohl für Anfänger als auch für Fortgeschrittene und Profis eine lohnenswerte Anschaffung ist. Die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten sind für einen Smartcube vielseitig und einmal angemeldet funktioniert alles auch fast ohne Probleme. Der Würfel fühlt sich wie ein sehr guter Cube an und ist auch ohne App ein wahres Vergnügen. Da die Mängel im Vergleich zu den Vorteilen (für mich) vernachlässigbar sind, gibt es hier von mir auch 5 Sterne und eine klare Kaufempfehlung für jeden leidenschaftlichen Cuber. Cheers

The cube itself is great, it's not on par with the best speedcubes obviously but it comes close, and it's a pleasure to use. Compared to the i356 and i356v2, the Bluetooth protocol is massively improved, resulting in better connection and less delays; the difference is rather noticeable. It lacks the gyroscope, but it comes at a lower price for this reason. Unlike the other models, this works with a replaceable 1632 battery, so you don't need a charger; I prefer internal battery and a charger, but that's matter of taste. The app is not bad, but it is a bit lacklustre. It's improving iteration after iteration though, and they do listen to user feedback. If you don't like it, there are several third-party timers with interesting features that you can use as an alternative. Overall, it's a great cube, and Bluetooth is just great when it comes to track statistics and performance. I use almost exclusively this one for training. Recommended.
