realme 11 Pro series confirmed to come with 200MP OIS camera feat. SuperZoom from Samsung

realme Malaysia has confirmed that the upcoming 11 Pro series smartphones will be armed with one of the best camera lenses out there.

Not only the lens itself is a high megapixel unit, but it also has SuperOIS to further stabilize any shoots or videos it records for minimal motion blur.
On top of that, the Samsung ISOCELL HP3 SuperZoom Sensor provides a significant increase in zooming capability when compared to the last generation’s offering.

Can’t wait? Well, there are only a few days until the 10 series flash deals are gone where these “old stocks” will soon be replaced by the new king.
So if you need a phone right now and don’t really chase the latest clout, then give the realme 10 series a try!

Review – Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE: Nice price with a nice design

In Xiaomi’s recent announcement, they also announced the new Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. It’s a mouthful of gibberish but it’s something that we have to live with. This is a simple phone but it is actually pretty decent – so in today’s review, let’s go through what you need to know about this phone.

Design
Let’s start off with the design of this phone. It’s very thin and also lightweight to the point where it feels like I’m not holding anything. This phone also has a lot of different color options – and the one that we have here is the white color – which I think it will blend in nicely with someone’s marble kitchen countertop.

It’s using a matte finish though, so I’m okay with the feel – just not the kitchen countertop design.
Performance
Okay, time for the performance. This Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is equipped with the Snapdragon 778G chipset with 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage and overall, we can run games on this phone without issues – including Genshin Impact. I do enjoy the overall gaming experience too since the Snapdragon 778G is very powerful.

Though with such a slim body, it reaches that thermal limit of 46°C easily.
But hey – I can still get about 50-ish FPS at low graphical settings so it’s still good.
Screen
It’s a pretty standard 6.55-inch AMOLED screen with up to 90Hz refresh rate. I mean, the screen looks good and the colors are fine, so there’s nothing to praise or complain about.

One thing I do prefer is that Xiaomi seems to be moving away from the horrendous under display fingerprint scanners and opted for power buttons with fingerprint scanners instead. Screw under display fingerprint scanners.

Cameras
Then comes the cameras. Yeah, we have a total of 3 different cameras here and to me personally, they all can take pretty good pictures overall.

To have a look at all the pictures taken with the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE, watch our video at the top of this review.
Battery life & charging
Then comes the battery life. Coming in with a decently sized 4,250mAh battery, it can last for quite a long time. It can go nearly 14 hours in our test and that means it can potentially go up to 2 days of battery life in just one charge.

The charging time is not that special, though. It comes with a 33W charger in the box, and it charges from 15% to 100% in about an hour’s time. That’s it.
Software – MIUI
It’s still the same MIUI just like any other Xiaomi phones that we reviewed previously, so check out any of our previous reviews instead. It’s still having all the same bugs and issues – and it can only go up to 30fps for screen recording in case you’re wondering.
Price
Finally – the price. The Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is starting at the price of RM1,199 which I think is pretty okay in terms of affordability. I think in some ways, the new Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE is better than the Redmi Note 10 Pro too – hence that price premium.
So yeah, it’s a pretty decent phone overall and I can recommend this phone as an alternative to the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Tizen OS will start supporting non Samsung smart TVs thanks to latest partnership and licensing agreement

Samsung’s Tizen OS is currently powering its smart wearables and smart TVs in general. While most highlights and movements of the operating system would attract more eyes in the Galaxy Watch sector, the brand’s latest partnership now allows non-Samsung smart TVs to adopt Tizen OS for the very first time.

Working closely with ODMs like Atmaca, KC, and Tempo, more consumers will start running into Tizen OS smart TVs than they expect since countries like Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and the UK will start shelving up offerings from Bauhn, Linsar, Sunny, Vispera running the open source software.
As part of the Tizen TV Platform Licensing program announced at the Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) last year, it allows other brands to step in and say “Hey I like Tizen OS and what you offer and I want it to be in my TV”.
Therefore, stuff like Samsung TV Plus which offers programs and live streams for free, Universal Guide which recommends and help user discovers their best content, and Bixby integration are all found within these partnered and licensed third-party smart TVs.
Malaysia when though.

Upcoming Redmi smartphone uses Samsung GW1 64MP camera sensor

We all seen that the Realme has already shown off their prototype smartphone sporting the Samsung GW1 camera sensor that has 64MP in resolution. Then today, we saw one new image sample – but this time, on a Redmi smartphone.
Ice Universe, the cool cat that always posts the latest insider news about the smartphone industry, just posted an image which the cat claims to be a sample image from the upcoming Redmi smartphone that will have Samsung’s GW1 camera sensor.

Redmi released the first 64MP camera sample, using Samsung GW1 CMOS. pic.twitter.com/mQcH1HLWoU
— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) July 22, 2019

This Samsung GW1 camera sensor has a 64MP resolution. While there are no chipsets in the market that can capture 64MP pictures natively, it can be done through some software processing by first taking the 4x 16MP pictures, then stitching them back together to create the 64MP image.
That is quite a common technique since the Redmi Note 7 Pro. That phone is using the Snapdragon 660 chipset which is unable to take 48MP pictures natively. What it does is taking four 12MP pictures natively then stitching them via software.

Now, we already have two companies showing off their upcoming smartphones featuring the Samsung GW1 camera sensor. I wonder if the Note 10 will feature their new camera sensor. Or perhaps the S11? The camera lens and sensor are due for an upgrade.

Review – ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512: Lightweight, affordable, colorful, yet powerful and functional

ASUS just announced their brand new lineup that was just added to the VivoBook series. This is the new VivoBook Ultra A512 – comes with a colorful appearance while maintaining a lightweight body. Yet for some reason, ASUS manages to pack in some serious hardware for a laptop of this price.
It’s a new dawn of laptops from ASUS as they are redefining what it means for laptops at this price. Honestly, I was shocked as well. And in this in-depth review, we’re telling you why.

Unboxing

The box in itself is pretty thin to begin with. But it is actually more than enough to protect the laptop inside.

Opening up the lid reveals that the laptop is sitting there in a protective fabric cloth sleeve, waiting for your hands. We can also see that the unit of VivoBook Ultra A512 we have for review is in the Transparent Silver color option since its brilliance is shining through the fabric.

Digging out everything we found that ASUS included the usual documentation, power brick, and something unique – a HDD upgrade kit.

This little HDD upgrade kit is where we’ll find a 2.5-inch hard drive mounting rail together with a heat spreader and ribbon cable to connect the SATA III disk to the motherboard. More on this later, since the VivoBook Ultra A512 only comes with a PCIe NVMe SSD inside.
[nextpage title=”Design, ports, screen”]
Design
Starting off with the design of this laptop, we obviously need to talk about the colors of this laptop. It is available in a total of 4 different colors – Transparent Silver, Slate Grey, Peacock Blue, and Coral Crush. Essentially, it is somewhat like silver, black, dark blue, and bright orange.

These colors are bright and striking. By just looking at them, you can feel its colors just shine to your eyes. I unboxed the VivoBook Ultra A512 outdoors and the brilliance of the color shocked me.
The ASUS VivoBok Ultra A512 is a very lightweight laptop and that is because ASUS opted for a full plastic body. It can get scuffs and scratches very easily, and it is also somewhat fragile as ASUS used soft plastic for the entire laptop body. It is a trade-off that ASUS has made this time around. Just be careful as any scratches will show up prominently because of its shiny, colorful body.

ASUS also maintained a fairly thin body for this laptop together with its iconic ErgoLift hinge design. By lifting the keyboard up by the hinge area, it allows additional cooling and maximizing comfort for typing as well.
Combined with the NanoEdge bezels on this laptop, the VivoBok Ultra A512 feels like a 14-inch laptop and I thought this laptop was a 14-incher… until I realized that nope, ASUS managed to cramp in a 15.6-inch display in this super compact 14-inch body – which is a nice segue to the next section.
Ports
Even with a fairly thin body, ASUS still retains most of the ports that we commonly use. On the left side we have a total of two USB 2.0 ports, a power indicator LED and another battery indicator LED.

On the right side, we have a microSD card reader, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, a USB-C port, HDMI, USB 3.0 port, and also the power jack.

The only missing port on this laptop is honestly, the Ethernet port. I can safely say that an Ethernet port on laptops is not particularly important since WiFi is good enough for day-to-day use and even for movie streaming.

Both the speakers are placed on the two sides of the laptop, below the wrist rest area. Though the speakers to look tiny, they actually sound pretty good for what it is. They are not particularly loud, but they actually sound decent.
Screen
Coming back to the screen itself, ASUS packed a massive 15.6-inch 1080p display into the VivoBook Ultra A512. Honestly, the laptop’s body is so tiny that I originally thought it’s a 14-inch laptop instead.

That happened thanks to ASUS’s NanoEdge bezels which are only 5.7mm at both the sides of the screen. ASUS achieved 88% screen-to-body ratio with this thinner bezel design, and still managed to fit in the webcam above the screen too. Say no to nose cams!

Through my eyes, the display used here is actually pretty good in terms of colors. There is no sign of oversaturation while maintaining good white balance. I did try doing a bit of Lightroom work on the VivoBook Ultra A512 and yes, the display is good enough for some creative work.
My only problem with the screen here? Definitely its brightness while using it outdoors. The screen here while is beautiful for indoor use, it’s not bright enough to use outdoors – even under a gloomy day and under some shade. Though if you don’t use it outdoors, it’s a great display.
[nextpage title=”Trackpad and keyboard”]
Trackpad
The ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 does come with a pretty good trackpad. It’s something that is actually fine to use. I wouldn’t complain as it is using Windows precision touchpad, hence all of the settings and gestures are built into Windows 10 itself.

Not only that – the trackpad comes with a fingerprint sensor at the top right corner too. Not the most ideal position as ASUS could have placed it on the power button itself. While on the subject of buttons, let’s move on to the next part.
Keyboard
Surprisingly, the VivoBook Ultra A512 does come with a pretty good keyboard. I found myself enjoy typing on the keyboard more than I should have as its travel is pretty deep and has enjoyable tactile feedback on each key press. The key press is quite soft, yet springy, and does not tire out my hands after hours of typing.

The keyboard layout, however, is certainly something special. It is a full-sized keyboard with physical number pads on the right side of the keyboard, but with a twist. The keyboard is not edge-to-edge and the number pad lacks the humongous plus/minus and enter keys.

It also caused the trackpad to be shifted to the left side by a little so that the trackpad is always is just below the spacebar. Depending on personal preference, you might like this offset. For me personally, ASUS did a good job on cutting down the number pad size so that the trackpad wouldn’t get shifted too far off like some other laptops.
Let’s not forget that the ErgoLift hinge is surprisingly comfortable to type on, too. While on that subject, the heat radiating from within the laptop while gaming is coming from around the number pad “4” and enter key area – and that is good since no games ever utilize those keys anyway.
[nextpage title=”Performance, gaming, and battery life”]
Before we begin talking about the performance, let us just talk about the specs for one moment. The ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 is created to be a laptop that is oriented for those who want long-lasting battery life with sufficient performance for web browsing, some Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, and a perhaps a little bit of Spotify.
That makes this laptop actually very decent for students and for general purpose since it is rather lightweight and thin, yet comes with a fantastic keyboard with ergonomic ErgoLift hinge design too.
As for the specs, the one we have here for review is specifically powered by:

ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512

Display
15.6-inch 1920×1080 resolution with NanoEdge thin bezels

CPU
Intel Core i5-8265U

GPU
Intel UHD Graphics 620
NVIDIA GeForce MX250 with 2GB VRAM

RAM
4GB DDR4 2400MHz
Upgradable to up to 16GB DDR4 2400MHz

Storage
512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x2 SSD
2.5-inch storage bay (empty)

Battery
37Wh battery

Performance
Surprisingly, the Core i5-8265U and NVIDIA GeForce MX250 are quite powerful here – relatively, of course. We put the VivoBook Ultra A512 through our usual test and revealed that the scores are quite decent.

In day-to-day use, my only complaint is the 4GB RAM. That is clearly insufficient for the number of apps and Chrome tabs that I work on concurrently, and definitely not enough for Adobe suite of software. You can still work on Lightroom and Photoshop with just 4GB RAM, though it is sluggish and advisable to get at least 8GB RAM.
As for benchmarks, here are a few for reference on how the ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 performs.

Though, ASUS outdid themselves by including a speedy 512GB NVMe PCIe Gen 3 x2 SSD in this laptop. I never would have guessed that ASUS would put an NVMe SSD inside a laptop of this price range. Its speeds are pretty much similar to the Kingston A1000.

Gaming
For a closer-to-life test, we tried a few games here. Here are the games we used to test and the results.

ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 game tests

Game title
Graphical setting
FPS

A Hat in Time
High performance preset
About 40 to 50

Apex Legends
Lowest
Above 30

CS:GO
Highest possible settings
About 55

Dota 2
Highest possible settings
About 30 during team fights

Fortnite
High preset
35

HITMAN 2
Lowest possible settings
Consistently drops to 18

Overwatch
Medium preset
Above 55

I’d say the MX250 is actually fairly decent here as it manages to run some high-end games at a rather high frame rate with decent graphical quality. Of course, Dota 2 and CSGO can run smoothly without any issues at all – and that is great news as these two games are still rather famous. Fortnite on the other hand, is able to run beautifully on this machine.
Battery life
From the specs, we can see that the VivoBook Ultra A512 comes with a 37Wh battery. On paper, it might seem tiny in comparison – but let’s not forget that this laptop is meant not that power-hungry.
Overall, we got about 4 hours and 20 minutes of use with a few hours of sleep in between the usage. We were using it with lots of heavy browsing on Chrome together with some YouTube videos, some light Photoshop work, and lots of typing.
As for charging, it took us about 2 hours to charge the laptop from 15% to 100% while turned on but idling.

Also, the power brick is pretty tiny – yet manages to push out the maximum of 65W. However, it is still not as tiny as the j5create’s tiny little 65W charger.

[nextpage title=”Maintenance and upgradability”]
Maintenance
Opening up the ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 is actually pretty simple. There are some standard Phillip screws at the back and requires some plastic bending magic to release the plastic clips. Very simple and easy to do.

Once the backplate is off, we can see everything there is on the motherboard, including the fans, RAM, SSD, and HDD bays. ASUS laptops are pretty easy to open up for servicing and upgrades, except for the Zephyrus series.

From here we can see that the cooling solution on this laptop is pretty simple. A single large heatpipe that runs through both the CPU, GPU, and leads to the heatsink and single fan. Once again, the heatpipe is easily removable and you can reapply thermal paste easily too. Learn more about why you should do that here.
Upgradability
Opening up reveals that the VivoBook Ultra A512 is actually quite simple to maintain and upgrade – which is certainly something we insist on.

Firstly, the RAM situation. ASUS left a slot for you to pop your own RAM inside, but there is only one visible slot. The pre-installed 4GB RAM is nowhere to be found. Popping in another 16GB RAM means you get a total of 20GB. A weird number but certainly better than the current 4GB RAM. We highly recommend adding more RAM.

Then comes the empty slot part at the bottom left corner. This is where the 2.5-inch storage devices go in, be it a 2.5-inch SSD or HDD.
The reason why I avoid the word “HDD upgrade kit” here is that it allows a 2.5-inch storage device to be installed inside the laptop. You can opt to get another 2.5-inch SSD if you like – then it invalidates the “HDD” moniker in the upgrade kit. Though, the general consensus is to get a 2.5-inch HDD to pair with an M.2 SSD for the best of both worlds in terms of storage capacity and speed respectively.

ASUS provided an upgrade kit for you to do it yourself and it is actually pretty simple to do. Just make sure you follow the instructions and be careful with the ribbon cable which connects to the J5101 connector on the motherboard.
If you want to swap your M.2 SSD for something else, you can do that too as it is easily accessible.
[nextpage title=”Wrapping up the ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 review”]
Let me just conclude by saying that the ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 is actually a very good laptop on paper. The specs that make up this lightweight yet powerful laptop is a stunning feat – especially given the price. A 512GB NVMe SSD at this price is unheard of – but they give you an upgrade kit for you to slot in another 2.5-inch storage disk on your own.
This laptop really packs a punch with its Intel Core i5-8265U processor and the NVIDIA GeForce MX250. The keyboard good and the trackpad is decent. I was able to get work done and yet play some games on this laptop! The battery life is not bad either, together with the fairly decent charging time with a small charging brick.

My minor complaint is obviously, the RAM. Out of the box, you get 4GB and there is an empty slot for you to upgrade on your own. Honestly, I’d say the minimum is 8GB these days.
As for my biggest complaint, that is going to be the full plastic build quality. Sure, ASUS gave it a sheen but it can get scuffed up easily and ruin the beautiful paint job that ASUS has done.
Overall, for the price of RM2,899, it is actually quite good for its price. The ASUS VivoBook Ultra A512 is a great buy for those who want something portable yet with decent performance for this price range. Heck, I can actually play some games using this lightweight laptop!

Enjoy the A-volution of quality with the new OPPO A98 5G packing incredible value for money

This post is sponsored by OPPO Malaysia
The smartphone business is a competitive one and OPPO’s A series is referred to be one of the value buys most of the time. But judging from the past offerings, what the brand has offered are low-price devices paired with a set of equally mid-low parts. They are still the value buy, mind you. However, it seems that there’s nothing for those who want a little bit more power.

But that image is going to change soon with the introduction of the new OPPO A98 5G. Its job is to introduce an “A-volution” by tuning up the ratio of “what you get is what you pay” but retaining that signature identity of great value for money the A series is known for.
Let’s find out what it has to offer.
Big batteries for big usages feat. SuperVOOC 67W Fast Charge

Truth be told, the majority of smartphone brands are packing a 5,000mAh battery into their devices that emphasize raw value for money and the OPPO A98 is no different here.

But the signature SuperVOOC fast charge tech comes in at a fast 67W to fill up the Li-Ion pack from about 15% to full in just under 50 minutes! Coupled with the Battery Health Engine featured, the longevity can be extended longer when compared to a conventional smartphone’s battery.
Large memory for the busy-goers

Although the modernized digital infrastructure means that most offline content has turned into an online format with the help of streaming and unlimited data access, it still helps to have a decent amount of RAM and storage in your phone to reduce any lag or capacity issues.
The OPPO A98 5G strikes for a good midpoint with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The former also has up to 8GB of expanded memory to give a temporary boost when there are too many apps to handle. The latter, on the other hand, supports a microSD card of up to 1TB for all your 4K recordings and FLAC music!
Choppy animations are a thing of the past

The maturity of the screen technology has essentially pushed the normalization of 90Hz in almost all budget devices with 120Hz being the go-to these days for buttery smooth animations and crisp visuals.

The OPPO A98 has just that at a nice 6.7 inches IPS LCD panel but that doesn’t mean that it is bad. In fact, it has 6 levels of adaptive refresh rate technology to keep power consumption low when viewing static content and the color gamut reaches 100% DCI-P3 too.
Powerful cameras at a decent price

Surprisingly, OPPO decided to give the OPPO A98 5G a strong camera setup that hosts a 64MP main camera, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP microlens with 40x zoom.
Not only the main lens performs well by hardware definition but the final result is further enhanced by OPPO’s super-resolution algorithm through sub-pixel displacement. The VD multi-frame solution can further take it up to a synthesized 108MP photo with utmost clarity.
Here are some shots taken with the device.

Some things never change, at least for several years

Believe it or not, from this year onwards, OPPO has been focusing on making their devices last longer by running 48 months of fluency tests in their labs.
In short, the OPPO A98 is rated to run at its best for 4 years through the continuous receiving of various software optimization.
Conclusion

In conclusion, the OPPO A98 is an interesting phone considering it is trying to revamp the series image of “cheap” and “low-tier” devices by delivering a strong memory capacity support, a high refresh rate screen, a camera setup with flexible capabilities, and all-day battery life – all backed by a rigorous test to make sure it is good for years to come.
The device is priced at RM1,399 and comes in 2 different colors Dreamy Blue and Cool Black. Preorders will commence from May 15 to May 18 which is 4 days only.
Customers who pre-order OPPO A98 5G will be entitled to receive gifts worth up to RM377 which include an OPPO Band, True Wireless Earbuds, and 1+1-year warranty.

Samsung Introduces Yearly Upgrade Program

Here’s something new – Samsung is introducing the first ever Yearly Upgrade Program, or YUP for short. It’s a program that you can enter right now when you purchase a brand new Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ and top up another RM100. The Yearly Upgrade Program is only valid from now until 2nd September 2018.
Let’s list down some of the details of what you’ll be getting.

First, enrolling in the Yearly Upgrade Program will entitle you to get an instant complimentary Samsung Screen Protector that is worth RM140, which is to be activated via the Samsung Members app. Then, you’ll be entitled for a one-month waiver fee if your new Galaxy S device is purchase via Samsung’s 12-month Easy Payment Plan at selected authorized dealers and outlets.
And now for the big elephant in the room – the incentives for future Galaxy S series smartphones. For those who are enrolled in the Yearly Upgrade Program, you are eligible for a 10% discount on the next Galaxy S device
Our Galaxy S devices are loved by consumers worldwide and have received numerous awards for reimagining the way people communicate, share, and experience the world. Our consumers always come first and as we understand the consumer’s desire to own cutting-edge technology, we have made it our mission to raise the smartphone innovation bar with pioneering releases year after year. Your chance to get the innovative Galaxy S series is here!
– Yoonsoo Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics
The Samsung Yearly Upgrade Program is available at all participating Samsung Experience Stores. For more information about the limited-time Yearly Upgrade Program, visit
https://www.samsung.com/my/offer/offline/mobile-yup/.
Alright, time for some terms and conditions hunting. We did realize one particular clause that piqued my interest. It states that the Yearly Upgrade Program’s 10% discount is only “limited to upgrade purchase made between the 13th to the 15th month calculated from the month the current device is purchased.”
Samsung is also very transparent about this clause and stated an example on how this works – which turned out exactly like how we expect.
For example, if Galaxy S9 is purchased in the month of June 2018, YUP customer will be entitled to the 10% discount if he/she purchases the next incoming S Series device within the period of July till September 2019.
From what we can see here, the Yearly Upgrade Program is a surprisingly good pathway for those who want to get the Galaxy S9 or S9+ now and the next 10-anniversary Galaxy S smartphone.
This Yearly Upgrade Program is not applicable to Note series. Perhaps Samsung will have a similar one for the Note series if the reception is good.

Samsung continues #iChanged campaign

Samsung Malaysia released a series of videos that revolved around the title #iChanged. Within this series, it goes around and covers a series of aspects of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note10 of smartphones.
Samsung says they care about all aspects of a smartphone – ranging from its battery life, cameras, the integration with other company’s services to improve and elevate the user experience, and most importantly – security.

The #iChanged campaign was originally released for the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones, has now been reiterated for the Galaxy Note10 series of smartphones too. This series of videos go through a few predicaments that users may have, and how Samsung’s flagships will help.

The new #iChanged campaign highlights 10 important and common situations that many of us face every day. Samsung has the technology and tools to counter these issues – like Advanced Super-Steady video is the gimbal is out of battery, Samsung DeX (which we love) when the laptop battery is dead, Samsung Knox to protect your deepest darkest secrets, and many more.

Honestly, I do want a Galaxy Note10 these days since I find myself writing equations and drawing graphs in my mind more often these days. Perhaps I can visualize and have more accuracy on the charts with the S Pen.
During the process of designing our products, Samsung consistently keeps its consumers in mind so that the best 360-experience is ensured – be it in the form of an all-day battery, S Pen, award-winning camera, expandable storage, or defense–grade security platform. Moreover, Samsung’s products are endorsed by Google as well; and this partnership is something we value greatly and would use to provide better experiences for our users moving forward. The time to switch is now, and we hope that consumers will take the leap to own the next level of innovation.
– Yoonsoo Kim, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.
Switching to a brand new Samsung smartphone is easy too. With the help of Smart Switch app, you can easily transfer all your files, photos, videos, music, contacts, and apps over to the new Samsung device. The Samsung Smart Switch is available on both iOS and Android devices too.
For more information about Samsung’s #iChanged campaign, click here. By the way, the Galaxy S10 series can be bought with 0% interest EPP installment plans!
On a side note, it seems that Samsung is also having monthly promotions too. On 9.9 we had a promotion on Lazada, and on 10.10, they had one on Shopee. Perhaps 11.11 will be bigger and comes with even more discounts? 🤔

Amazon brings Chromecast to the world

For anyone who would just like to get some shows on TV – be it movies or music from various services – the Chromecast is something special. It brings everything from Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Google Play Store and also Chrome to your HDTV, with this small little device.

Sure, you can control it with any Android or iOS machine – even your Mac or Windows computer with Chrome. Dead simple installation where you just plug it in to your HDTV, connect it to your WiFi and you’re done!
Up until now, the problem with this that this little magical device is only available in the United States. Amazon however is changing this by bringing it to the world. Android Central first noticed it on Amazon.com and there were many people who tried ordering it from Hong Kong, Europe and even Australia – and all of them had a successful order placement.
I tried it in Malaysia too obviously, and the shipping is somewhat a little horrible as expected.

With all the prices quoted in US dollars, the device itself costs $35 (RM111.88), while the shipment itself costs an estimated price of $18.48 (RM59.08) and that brings the purchase to a total sum of $53.49, which translates to RM170.96. The shipment of this small device costs 52.8% of the original device itself already! It’s ridiculous!
Sure, if you’re a Chromecast lover or a big fan of all the magical things it can do, the price of RM170 isn’t really that bad after all, since it is a family-friendly device which also happens to be cross platform to let everyone – even your friends – to take control of the TV. The idea might have crossed with the Nexus Q, but I’m sure the Chromecast is not a disappointment.

HONOR 20 to have Moschino variant; HONOR 20 Pro render leaked

When the HONOR View20 first released back in January, we saw HONOR’s first collaboration with Moschino. With that, they also set their new philosophy in motion – by combining technology and fashion together. There’s also another recent collaboration with AAPE to bring the special edition HONOR 20 Lite as well. And now, HONOR is collaborating with Moschino again for the upcoming HONOR 20.
While little is known and can be revealed about the HONOR 20, we have to make-do with what we have now. HONOR did send us two teaser images which we have no idea what it represents or show to the world.

It seems like HONOR is having a red colored variant and co-designed by Moschino. Will it come with the little HONOR x Moschino pouch as well? I don’t know. Maybe?

We took these images and tried to manipulate it to see if there are any hidden clues – but unfortunately, there are none. HONOR is very careful with the teaser image and reveals nothing more than what we can see as a whole.

Remember that you can still win yourself a fully-sponsored trip to London to witness the grand launching of the HONOR 20. Click here to learn more.
As for now, we don’t have any solid leaks of the upcoming HONOR 20 yet. From what we can gather, there are two variants of the HONOR 20, a Pro and a non-Pro version. One Facebook user has posted a leaked render which we predict is the Pro variant.

We do expect it to have a total of 4 cameras at the back since HONOR is always on the trend of having Huawei’s latest and greatest technologies but at a much lower price.
For now, we can only wait until 21st May for the official grand launching of the HONOR 20 with all the details. As for the price? I think it’ll be around ~RM1,500?

Honor 7/Enhanced Slashes RM200 Off

A year ago, I reviewed a smaller sized smartphone which I really liked. That smartphone is called the Honor 7 – the true smartphone killer of the year 2015. Is it still relevant now though? I think yes – as Honor decided to have the two impressive smartphones to be priced even lower than before.
Starting from the 26th of September 2016, the there will be some price adjustments, starting with slashing RM200 slash off of their smartphones. That means the Honor 7 will now cost RM1,199, and the Enhanced variant will cost RM1,299.

Pretty sweet deal, I’d say. You can even get these devices at reduced priced over at VMall.my too – or Lazada, if you wish to do so.

Logitech goes a little crazy with 2015 Play Collection Mice

The Logitech M280 that we’ve reviewed before was great. There’s also the inexpensive, ergonomic, ambidextrous Logitech M235 that I personally had seen and loved – actually, still being loved by the entire family – has a very similar design with the M280.
Obviously Logitech knows that the M235 is a hot piece of cake that everyone wants a bite – and they’re not afraid to show it.

They went a little crazy and showed off their all new Logitech M238. It’s a spin-off variant from the M235, and the most exciting part of this mouse being the design. They’re all colourful, playful, and most definitely beautiful yet personal.
Let us welcome the fancily designed Felicity Fox, Olivia Owl, and Marc Monkey mice. Also, the two facet designs on the right – comes in blue and red colours too! Each of these mice are priced at RM69 inclusive of GST, and is available from June onwards.

realme reveals 3 new technological advancements that are built into the new GT 2 series smartphone

realme has premiered its GT 2 series smartphones with a punch by revealing the 3 special “world’s 1st” implementations found within the realme GT 2 Pro. Let’s go over those.
World’s 1st #1: Bio-Polymer Material

With more tech brands heeding the call to designs and manufacturing processes that are more environmentally friendly, the realme GT 2 Pro features a paper-inspired concept that speaks minimalistic and sustainability-focused that are created by Naoto Fukasawa, a renowned Japanese designer. Specifically, the smartphone’s back cover utilizes a bio-polymer material that can serve as an alternative to raw materials derived from fossils and this SABIC bio-based material has already been certified by standard setters including REACH, RoHS, ISCC International Sustainability and Carbon Certification, and EPEAT.

Other than that, the new box design reduces the amount of plastic ratio down from the previous 21.7% to a whopping 0.3%.
World’s 1st #2: 150° Ultra-Wide Camera with Fisheye Mode

Probably less impactful for the average user but more the better for fellow photographers, the realme GT 2 Pro is the 1st smartphone to offer a 150° ultra-wide camera that is capable of expanding the FOV by 278%. On the other hand, depth sensors may just be a thing of history as the Fisheye Mode on the GT 2 Pro can produce quite a depth of field effect to create a more visually appealing photo.
World’s 1st #3: Antenna Array Matrix System

For this one, the Antenna Array Matrix System is actually 3 technologies combined into 1 solution being a HyperSmart, Wi-Fi Enhancer, and 360° NFC. For the former, the HyperSmart uses a “12 wrap-around antenna” design that covers all sides of the phone while supporting all forms of mainstream bands in all directions to allow the smartphone to pick the antenna with the strongest signal, eliminating the dead zone problem through a simple yet very physical way.
On the other hand, the Wi-Fi Enhancer, as the name suggests, provides up to 20% better Wi-Fi signal strength thanks to the symmetrical antenna design compared to the conventional asymmetrical pattern.
Lastly, the NFC tech has been improved to support a 360° pattern through the integration of the function into the top two cellular antennas that improve the sensing area by as much as 5x and an extra 20% sensing distance.
With all things said, will the realme GT 2 Pro wear a premium price tag thanks to all these techs? Let us know in the meantime while we wait for the official news next month.

OPPO Tops China Smartphone Market in Q3; 4th Globally

OPPO shared with us their sales figure of the F1s, and cited lots of sources alongside too. The F1s, according to them, had over 100k sales for the F1s a few weeks ago. 100k is a humongous number for a single smartphone model, and our review of the OPPO F1s actually showed us why.

Citing their sales figure from IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, it showed that they had an impressive growth of 121.6% from last year!

It seems like in the APAC region, they took an impressive chunk of the pie. It’s surprising to actually not see Apple in the chart. Good change of scenery once in a while.
Anyway, congratulations to OPPO Smartphones for this massive achievement!

Galaxy Watch 4 finally gets Google Assistant, but not everyone gets it

Since the launch of the Galaxy Watch 4, I had been wearing my 44mm version of the Galaxy Watch 4 (not the classic) and I never wanted to change to another smartwatch or smartband ever since. It’s been my go-to watch. I was looking forward to getting Google Assistant on this watch and finally, it has arrived.

Samsung even put out an official press release stating that yes, Google Assistant is officially available on the Galaxy Watch 4 series today. Literally today. And I got excited. So I headed to the Google Play Store and searched for Google Assistant.
The button to “install on other devices” wasn’t there.

So I took a more direct approach – searching the Google Play Store on the Galaxy Watch 4 directly. And it wasn’t there too. Hmmm…

Then, I returned to the official press release and read closely – then I found out this footnote.
2. Google Assistant will be available in 10 markets, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, The UK and USA. It will, also, support 12 languages, which include Danish, English (American, Canadian, United Kingdom, Australian, Irish), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French (Canadian, France), and Taiwanese.
I couldn’t be more disappointed. Why isn’t Google Assistant just made available for everyone to download and install on their Galaxy Watch 4 use? Why is it region-locked?
I calmed down a little and I remembered that the Google Assistant on Wear OS is pretty much not suited for my use case anyway.
In our review of the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, I can’t run any Google Home routines via the Google Assistant – which is what I was planning to use the watch for.

Still, despite not having Google Assistant here in Malaysia (yet, I hope), I’m still really happy with the Galaxy Watch 4 series in general. Watch our review here.

Black Shark audio/charger 2-in-1 adapter fixes your 3.5mm audio jack issue

Black Shark is one of the smartphone brands that make high-end devices with top of the line specs. However, if you want to play games – then the 3.5mm audio jack is vital especially when you’re playing games like PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile that requires microphone for team chat. To address this issue, Black Shark is now selling the audio/charger 2-in-1 adapter.
This adapter is rather interesting.

We have an extensive test on why wireless audio sucks and how much delay is present on Bluetooth audio devices.
Bluetooth audio delay – Here’s why Bluetooth audio sucks for gaming

Currently, the audio/charger 2-in-1 adapter is for sale for RM109 exclusively at Shopee. Pretty steep price but hey – it’s better than buying sketchy unbranded ones from China and hope that it works when it arrives. This one is from a trusted brand, after all.

Grand Theft Auto Online: Official Gameplay Video

With Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar Games is looking to bring the heart of the Grand Theft Auto experience to a living online world with multiple players. Just what you choose to do in that world, is up to you. The game combines a consistent and continuingly expanding world, full of personalities.
Rockstar Games has finally unveiled the online multiplayer for Grand Theft Auto V, featuring a persistent open world experience for player. Although it’s available free as a part of Grand Theft Auto V the multiplayer. But is being treated as a separate game and it will be available two weeks after the main game is released.
In the trailer, it shows a lot of the team-based gunfights that you’d expect. Players will now go on missions to rob banks, steal cargo planes and will be able to earn money in the game to buy new weapons, clothes, and vehicles together. All of these achievements will be separated from any progress in the single player mode.

The really mind-blowing part is that players can create their own multiplayer activities by using feature ‘content creator’ mode, which lets us design racetracks  by selecting checkpoints or multiplayer arenas that we see and also crafting a team deathmatch by placing weapons.
Players can customize their character’s appearance as in GTA IV. Rockstar takes this personalization a few steps further with GTA V. Players can now upgrade their characters’ stats, own custom vehicles, and purchase property. They’ll earn reputation and cash through missions and other activities to facilitate their rise through the criminal world.
Here are the video of the official GTA Online Trailer:

Grand Theft Auto V will be released on September 17 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while Grand Theft Auto Online will be launching on October 1. Despite rumours there is still no official confirmation of PC or next gen versions.

Review – Logitech G510S Gaming Keyboard

Hardcore and average users all know that a good keyboard is important for your fingers as well as your performance no matter for game or work. A good keyboard may not be enough for some of us that they needed a good looking keyboard as well as the functionality of the keyboard.
Today, we have a Logitech G510 with us. I’ve been using it for nearly a month to test this keyboard for my average use as well for my gaming experience. This review was typed using this particular keyboard 😀
This keyboard focuses on MMO games as there are 18 programable macro keys on the left with three profile settings, making the combination count to 54 macros. Equipped with an LCD that displays your in-game stats and other critical information on your computer such as performance gauge, songs or some other basic things like clock.

Typing and Gaming Experience
The keys are quite soft but responsive at the same time which gives you are really comfortable and fast typing experience. Typing quickly and quietly is essential for an environment where you sit with a bunch of people you do not want to disturb or if you just like the silence over keyboard noise.
The keys are slightly slanted forward which gives you that clawing nature, gripping every key accurately each time as you type.
I’ve tried some other keyboard with additional keys on the side and I always get confused by automatically putting my hand in the middle and pressing all those macros but so far, I did not have that problem with the G510S. The macro keys are separated with a reasonable distance and grouped together nicely so you won’t get confused with the main keys.
If you’re looking at the gaming side of the keyboard however, it is a fantastic keyboard to be gamed with. The keyboard itself has a beautifully shaped armrest, with a soft touch to it and is also anti-sweat-stain that prevents you sweaty palms to leave stains on the keyboard. Even better, the ergonomic shape of the keyboard can make me forget about the hand fatigue, and I can enjoy my games for hours without even realizing that my hand was on the keyboard for hours. Technically this keyboard made me feel young again, in a way at least.
Macros and Profiles
There are 18 individual macro buttons arranged in three groups on the left side of the keyboard. While having 18 keys, don’t forget that this keyboard have three profiles making each profile having a unique macros on the same keys. 54 macros total can three of these profiles can be selected with one of the three memory buttons. What’s more impressive about the profile selection is that each profile has it’s own backlight colour and different LCD configurations. This will greatly help in telling you which profile are you on and immediately know what those macro keys do as well as bringing up relevant information onto the LCD screen.
In addition, I tried using it on Adobe Photoshop to do a bunch of post-processing on the photos. While Photoshop Actions can do whatever I wanted to do, I tried to use a different approach – that is to record my keys using the G510S with its function to record keystrokes. It worked just the way I wanted it to be, which can be very good way to record the macros as compared to the software interface to record multiple keystrokes and have to manually count and estimate the delay between keys.
LCD Screen
There are 3rd party LCD widgets available that supports this keyboard. They are either final released apps by game developers or community developed or a fully programmable display in which you can literally display anything you want on the LCD display. The LCD’s resolution is 160×48 so don’t expect it to display complex pictures here.
However, I found that the LCD display has a flaw which the LCD will display a ghost of a graphic above it in which you can see in this picture. According to my past experience, I believe this was caused by the source trying to display at a rate that is higher than the LCD hardware can accept, which is seriously unpleasant to the eyes.
Media Buttons
What I find I like the most about this keyboard is it’s media buttons. The button works without having to install any additional software or driver apart from the official driver (running on Windows 8 per review). The huge mute button is definitely a plus since I use my computer as an alarm clock which I could just hit that mute button on the keyboard.
The volume scroll wheel is just fantastic. The sensitivity is just right that you can immediately adjust the volume to your liking without having to press any buttons. The size is just right for the wheel, and the jagged rubber grip on it gives a very nice touch feedback to the user when touched and scrolled.
The Software
The software that came with the keyboard is very capable and provides plenty of features such as changing the keyboard’s backlight colour on multiple profiles, selecting multiple widgets to be displayed on the LCD and program you profiles with it’s macros on the software, practically anything you can imagine that is configurable on the keyboard. Other than using the official software, you can also use 3rd party software such as LCD Studio to further customize the LCD display. Here is an example of one of my LCD design. Of course, everything else is up to your own imagination, since Logitech opened up the API for programmers.
Price
The keyboard’s market price is around RM 460 and can be found in various computer stores around Malaysia. The price seems a bit high for a non-mechanical keyboard I must say but considering the fact that this keyboard has a well polished texture and multiple features, it’s a 50/50 depending on your budget.
Conclusion
To wrap this up, I think the Logitech G510S is an excellent keyboard, even it is not a mechanical keyboard as the keys and typing feel is superb with its springy feedback. Once I used this keyboard, I can’t use any other keyboard because other they won’t have that “grippy” plastic texture and G510s’s curves and design, alongside with the anti-sweat-stain armrest that I totally love. I would definitely recommend this keyboard to everyone who not only game a lot but also to those who type a lot and loves additional macro buttons and an LCD display.

MWC2018: Samsung Announces Galaxy S9 And Galaxy S9+

It’s another year at MWC and Samsung has been teasing the Galaxy S9 and S9+ for the longest of time – and now we finally get all the details about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+.

Of course, Samsung has teased us with the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+’s camera. And Samsung did bring something new to the table – variable aperture. Well, sort of. It is able to swap between two fixed apertures, which is either f/1.5 or f/2.4. Still, it’s the first ever smartphone to bring such a feature. It’s really difficult to even make dual-aperture for such a small lens like a smartphone camera.
The new Galaxy S9 and S9+ will have a camera similar to the Galaxy Note8 too, where the main camera will use a prime lens and the second camera will use a telephoto lens. In other words, it’s using the hybrid dual-lens camera system.
However, there is some discrepancy between the S9 and S9+, and only the S9+ will have OIS for both cameras at the rear. Both phones will have the same selfie cameras, which is an 8MP f/1.7 camera with autofocus.
Powered by Samsung’s latest Exynos 9810, both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ comes with an octa-core with 4x 2.7GHz + 4x 1.7GHz processor fabricated with 10nm technology. The Galaxy S9 will have a 5.8-inch screen with 4GB of RAM and 3,000mAh battery whereas the Galaxy S9+ will have a 6.3-inch screen with 6GB of RAM and 3,500mAh battery.

As for which version is coming to Malaysia, we have confirmed that the Galaxy S9 64GB will be priced at RM3,299, whereas the Galaxy S9+ will have a total of 3 variants: 64GB at RM3,799, 128GB at RM3,999, and 256GB at RM4,399. They’ll be available in the ever-classical black, blue, and the brand new purple.

1,000 units of Realme C2 sold in 30 minutes; adds new 2GB RAM + 32GB storage variant

Did you know about the new entry-level king? Yeah, that’s the Realme C2. Over the past Super Brand Festival on Shopee that happened on 5th August, a total of 1,000 units of the Realme C2 was sold over the course of just 30 minutes. Seeing such a great response from the consumers, Realme Malaysia is adding another variant of the C2 in the market – 2GB RAM + 32GB storage.
Back to the Shopee’s Super Brand Festival day. Because the Realme C2 is a RM349 entry-level smartphone (and we reviewed it here), it sold a total of 1,000 units in Malaysia over the course of 30 minutes. As impressive as it sounds, I don’t think users actually care about such numbers anyway.

Then, Realme Malaysia also added another variant of the C2 into the market. Now you can get 2GB RAM + 32GB storage instead of just the basic 2GB RAM + 16GB storage that was previously available.
The new Realme C2 with 2GB RAM + 32GB storage will be available only on Lazada starting today, at the price of RM399 only. Click here to visit the Realme Malaysia official store on Lazada.

Malaysia SMEs gets 5G infrastructure with the help of Maxis and OPPO

In an effort to unlock and deliver the revolution of 5G connectivity for Malaysia SMEs, Maxis, in collaboration with OPPO, will be starting a 5G on-boarding program called “5G-Ready Masterclass, powered by Maxis & OPPO”. The program is expected to kick off during April of 2020 that aims to assist Malaysian businesses in transit into the 5G era seamlessly once the technology is ready to be deployed.
The program will let partners get up close and personal with 5G technology and its applications and how applying them brings huge potential gain to their respective businesses and operations. Through this collaboration,  the key roles of 5G will be explained in workshops to participating organizations that details the transformation and potential opportunities for business across SMEs in Malaysia. The OPPO Reno 10x Zoom 5G smartphone will be given to start off the 5G service.

The bad news is that only around 30 business partners will be involved and are invitation-only. It is assumed that the 5G infrastructure is still in its maturing state, starting at a small scale through experimental implementation to find out the best settings and market target would be the most suitable decision.

OPPO Find X2 5G approved, coming soon
With the rise of 5G smartphones is getting more readily available, OPPO obviously has its own smartphones in the pipeline too. That’s where the OPPO Find X2 5G comes in.

The OPPO Find X2 5G has been approved by SIRIM Malaysia and set to be revealed globally this 22nd February 2020, during MWC2020. It is surprised to see it getting approved right after speculations of Find X2’s new display being leaked by Digital Chat Station on Weibo.

The top of the line Find X2 model is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 865 SoC that features Qualcomm’s dual-mode X55 5G modem coupled with a 120Hz display for a smooth and seamless experience and possibly SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging at 65W. For the camera, it could feature a 48MP Sony image sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens and a 13MP telephoto camera with a 5x hybrid zoom capability.
It is exciting to see the full reveal during the event and full specification of this smartphone that once bore the concept of innovation and performance.

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge & Note 5 Now In Larger Storage Capacities

There’s no denial that Samsung’s Galaxy S7 edge and Note5 are still powerful devices, even at this point of time. That’s why Samsung is updating their Galaxy S7 edge and Note5 to have a much larger capacity!

Samsung has now opened the 128GB storage option to the Galaxy S7 edge in Black Pearl – a brand new colour. The price of it is at RM 3,399, and will be available at participating Samsung Experience Store outlets starting today. Of course, there are still the 32GB storage option for the Black Onyx, Gold Platinum, Silver Titanium, Pink Gold, and the latest Blue Coral at RM 3,099.
I’d still recommend jumping over to the 128GB. New colour with 4 times the amount of storage!

As for the Galaxy Note5, Samsung has updated their teeny 32GB-only storage option with a bigger 64GB option. It’s available right now, by the way – and it’s priced at RM 2,399 in three colour options – Silver Titanium, Gold Platinum, and Black Sapphire.

More 4th-gen Samsung Galaxy A series phones debut with the Galaxy A54 5G and A34 5G for more mid-range budget options

Samsung Malaysia has officially announced a couple of new models in the Galaxy A series family which are the Galaxy A54 5G and A34 5G following the A14‘s launch a couple of days ago.

As the 4th iteration of the renowned mid-range devices that we recommend to most people over the years, it seems that they are taking everything slow and steady here with a set of modern hardware refreshes alongside some design tweaks including the removal of the back camera bump and some brand new paint to make them as “Awesome!” for 2023.
Similar to their predecessors, both of them are eligible for 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of Android security updates so you can spend your budget relatively low while maximizing usage.
Let’s see what they have to sell themselves to the public.
