It's a svelte, attractive specimen (much like this reviewer, arf!), measuring 18 x 6.8 x 5.50cm and is available in either black or white (which has a touch of the classy silver about it in some lights). Lenco claims seven continuous hours of playback, which will vary, but you could easily get through a regular day's work or beach-chill weekender with this by your side.

No more fishing around in kitchen drawers for spare AA batteries, just the thoroughly modern-world paradigm of remembering to recharge regularly so it's ready to go whenever you are.įrom our tests, the battery seems to last a good long while, with the inevitable caveat of how loud you play it and if you're pulling down digital radio and streaming via Bluetooth or merely piping in sound from an auxiliary device. It's all small steps, but at least they're ones in the right direction, so kudos to Lenco for making the effort.Īn integrated 2,000mAh rechargeable battery is inside, with an accompanying USB-C jack on the back of the unit, which makes the radio both quick to recharge and also eminently portable. The shipping carton it comes in is also made from recycled FSC cardboard, with zero plastic used in the packaging inside. To minimise its footprint, the PDR-046GY body is made of a long-lasting composite material comprised of ABS plastic and wheat fibre, while the top control plate is made of bamboo. This being 2023, Lenco has also taken steps to reduce the environmental impact of launching yet another electronic product into the world on its first steps to eventually becoming part of our shamefully mushrooming e-waste mountain.

Lenco's rather prosaically named PDR-046GY radio is a neat and stylish portable device, offering both DAB+ and FM radio signals (no AM/MW/LW) as well as Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connections and an Aux In socket for your favourite legacy equipment still performing well (hello, 2005 iPod shuffle). Listening numbers are up across the board: people still want that friendly, familiar voice to accompany them through their day, whether it's mostly concerned with pop, rock, classical, news or sport. All those pop songs about how great the radio is must be paying off.

Despite what streaming music and video services might have you believe, radio lives – and is thriving.
