ASUS ROG Launches Delta Headset; Balteus Qi Mousepad; Gladius II Wireless Mouse

On the day of ASUS Incredible Intelligence 2018, we were shown a few new ROG products as well. One segment of the presentation was dedicated towards peripherals – and this is the first time we see these products face to face.
These 3 products were announced shown during Computex 2018, where we got our hands on the ROG Delta headset.

Computex 2018: ASUS ROG Brings More Accessories & Peripherals

ROG Delta headset
The ROG Delta is the first gaming headset to ever feature four hi-res ESS ES9218 DAC which are cascaded with each other. ROG claims that cascading 4 DACs together will create an extremely clear, true-to-life gaming audio that gives gamers a better ability to pinpoint in-game opponents.

The headset also features an airtight chamber and exclusive ASUS Essence drivers with audio signal diversion technology design to provide clear highs and punchy bass. Of course, the ROG Delta is a gaming headset with circular-rainbow RGB lighting effects for unique gaming style. The headset features a lightweight, D-shaped ear cup design for improved comfort. A USB-C connector and an included USB-C to USB 2.0 adaptor make the headset perfect for PC, PS4 and mobile gaming.

ROG Balteus Qi

The Balteus Qi is a RGB gaming mousepad with a performance surface (smooth) with a Qi wireless charging pad around the top right corner. It’s rather unique as well, as it has the dimension of 370x320mm. This is because ASUS didn’t want you to be hitting whatever’s above the Qi charging pad while gaming.

Featuring 15 individually customizable Aura Sync RGB lighting zones for personalization, the mouse pad is also equipped with an on-pad lighting mode button for on-the-fly adjustments and a USB 2.0 passthrough port for easy connections. Apart from ROG Balteus Qi, its sibling the Balteus will also be available for gamers who want the extra flair but without the wireless charging function.
ROG Gladius II Wireless
We here at Nasi Lemak Tech have been long time fans of the Gladius series of gaming mice since the first generation. It’s a fantastic mouse – and I’ve used it for more than 2 years before the scroll wheel officially died on me. The Gladius II was improved even further, ans the addition of another “sniper button” on the thumb resting position is definitely a big plus.

Now, ROG has a wireless version of the Gladius II. It can be connected via one of two ways – through its dongle that transmits via 2.4GHz signal, or through Bluetooth. The Gladius II Wireless also has a 16,000-dpi sensor.

Keeping the modularity tradition of the ROG Gladius, the Gladius II Wireless also has an ROG-exclusive socket design enables easy switch replacements to customize click force for personalized play.
However, there’s one weird thing about the Gladius II Wireless – remember the Balteus Qi that we talked about earlier? For some reason, the Gladius II Wireless does not support Qi wireless charging, and hence you can’t charge the Gladius II Wireless wirelessly. We asked ASUS ROG about this, and we were told that another version of the Gladius II Wireless with Qi charging will be coming in the future.

OPPO Sonica; Launched by OPPO Digital

In news other than smartphones, OPPO Digital, another division of OPPO that solely focuses on audio and video, just announced their OPPO Sonica. It’s a speaker that meets all of our latest requirements in the year of 2016.

It looks sleek, has a bunch of connectivity that we actually use, and sounds decent. The OPPO Sonica can play music up to 24-bit at 192kHz, and supports FLAC, WAV, and Apple Lossless audio files. These music files can be played via aux cable, USB, Bluetooth, or from your network through both LAN or WiFi via Airplay, DLNA, or Spotify/Tidal’s own protocol. While it might choke your WiFi with such high bitrate audio files, the OPPO Sonica supports up to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz on 802.11ac WiFi standards.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
And damn this speaker is loud. You can even get a few of them to daisy-chain together too. Essentially, it becomes an orchestra of speakers. The OPPO Sonica is priced at RM1,299. For more information, please visit https://www.oppodigital.com.my/sonica/

ASUS's new ultrathins have actual ports

If there’s one thing every potential new MacBook Air customers should pay attention to, it’s the two new ASUS computers.
Let’s start off with something that will make the potential MacBook customers jealous – convertible devices. Who doesn’t want a touch screen? Better yet, why not a 2-in-1 – a laptop and tablet in one set?

It’s only fair for such a device to be competing against the new MacBook Air, as the all new ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi packs a 12.5-inch screen and an Intel Core M processor wrapped in an aluminium unibody design, and yet only 1.65cm thin when docked. The new MacBook Air ain’t got nothing on this. Also, the keyboard is connected via Bluetooth with a range up to 20m.

Secondly comes the all-new ZenBook UX305, which has actual ports.

This 13.3-inch ultrabook weighs 1.2kg, has an Intel Core M processor powering up a QHD+ display, and also with an aluminium unibody design. For the ports, there’s mini-HDMI, an audio jack, one card reader, and three USB 3.0 ports.

That said, the new ZenBook UX305 is only 12.3mm thin, has 256GB SSD, 802.11ac WiFi, and comes with black or white colour.

Priced at RM2,399 for the [128GB SSD + Intel Core M 5Y10] and RM2,999 for the [256GB SSD + Intel Core M 5y71] spec, it’s very nicely priced compared to the “all new” MacBook Air which requires another additional accessory. Talk about a heavy price!
The new ASUS Transformer Book T300 Chi costs RM3,199.
If you’re looking to look into something new before GST, good news – these two devices are available by the end of March!

iBlogger Campus Festival 2013 at MMU Cyberjaya

There’s an iBlogger Campus Festival 2013 event happening on the 26th and 27th March of 2013 at the Grand Hall, Multimedia University, Cyberjaya campus. Luckily, being an MMU student here, it’s will be a waste not to visit the event first hand.

Starting from the left side at the top to bottom, there are portable food and drinks van such as Kenny Rogers, Come Buy, Burger King, Crazy Potato (my favourite!), Sushi King and more, all located outside and around the Grand Hall.

There’s even a portable bookstore out there too.

There is also a car around the event. It’s definitely not your typical type that shows sports cars and whatnot – this is a old school modified car show! Volkswagen Beetle is the nicest as far as I can tell, maybe because I’m a fan of the 1958 model of the car. Sure, all the cars look a little worn but I assure you that this is not what you think it is.

Moving on into the hall, there are many booths inside, ranging from beauty products to some Velcro-suit hill-climbing contest, even a harmless snake show.

The main attraction of this event, in my opinion, is the booth by Heavy Arm – as they have a range of products up for display, even six PCs linked for game of DOTA2. They have all things gaming – PlayStation 3 and PC games, gaming peripherals, audio devices, and a bunch of mechanical keyboards from multiple brands – Razer, Rosewill and also Ducky.

Did I mention that the much awaited Bioshock : Infinite is available here for RM139? StarCraft 2 : Heart Of The Swarm, the new Tomb Raider, and many other games are also available here – even the limited box set editions too.
If you’re looking for a new mechanical keyboard or just want to play around with the latest gaming products available in the market, I recommend you coming over to Multimedia University Cyberjaya to have a look! 27th March 2013 is the last day as this is a two-day event!
Heavy Arm is also offering a “self-collect” purchase option – order your items online and collect them at the event itself! For more information, check it out here!
Check out Heavy Arm’s website here! They have a whole array of games for all consoles, so I recommend you to check it out!

HONOR Band 5 comes at RM149; HONOR 20 Pro in Icelandic Illusion coming soon?

It’s Merdeka and HONOR Malaysia is having a roadshow right now for the HONOR 20 Pro that was just announced not too long ago. You can also find out our review of that phone right here. Marking the company’s first-ever smartphone with 4 usable cameras with a macro camera within that list, that HONOR 20 Pro is indeed a special smartphone of this generation. But today, the interesting thing that was launched is the HONOR Band 5.
This HONOR Band 5 is actually very competitive as it offers a lot of features yet for the price of just RM149 – which is also the same as its competitor.

This new HONOR Band 5 has 0.95-inch AMOLED display with 240×120 pixels in resolution, covered by curved glass. It has a touch screen and a touch-sensitive button, together with 5ATM water resistance.
Removable straps and a more sensible charging pin location.
As for the battery, the HONOR Band 5 can last for 14 days on standby and about 6 days with intense usage – so at minimum, you’ll have to charge it every week.
By the way, the HONOR Band 5 does not have any physical, pressable buttons. If you ever need to restart the Band 5, you can shut it down through the watch’s settings menu, but powering up requires the charger.
Let’s scroll through a list of watch faces!
The HONOR Band 5 sets itself apart by having a list of software features that is actually pretty good. Firstly, you can download a lot of watch faces on the smartphone app then the watch itself can also store a few of your favorite watch faces too – so you can swap them quickly and easily.
The other feature – which I think is pretty unique – is the ability to control your smartphone’s camera shutter button on the watch itself. This feature is great for those who always shoot pictures on a tripod or want to shoot a group selfie with the phone propped out somewhere. However, this feature is only available for smartphones that are running EMUI 8.1 or later.
The HONOR Band 5 is now available for the price of RM149, and you can stand a chance to win yourself a brand new Band 5 too. Click here to learn how.

Also, we got a sneak peek of the new HONOR 20 Pro in the Icelandic Illusion color option. Honestly, it looks a little more like a sparkly pearl instead – but hey, I’m not a color specialist.
Not sure if the Icelandic Illusion color is coming to Malaysia – but I sure hope it does.

[UPDATED] Facebook BIG Text – How To Disable It

Click here to jump to the latest update!

Let’s start off with a bit of introduction. Facebook introduced something I call “Facebook Big Text” a while ago. It seems to stir up quite a lot of controversy down in the comments section too. I read all of it, and I think a “fix” is very much needed.

Related: Facebook BIG TEXT – full details
This update came without a warning. It crashed into our Facebook accounts through its mobile app first, then towards our desktop version now. They even updated it to have some funky background and colours now. To which I say it’s fine, since Facebook wants to promote text-only status updates.

Related: Facebook Fancy Fonts Is Now Live; Detailed Here
So here I’m going to teach you one thing that many of us are asking – how to disable this  Facebook big text? Can it even be disabled? So far, here’s what we know when it comes to disabling the Facebook big text:

85 character limit. Spaces and symbols included.

Text only.

Images
A total of 3 different types of fancy fonts

Plain white background with big black texts
Single-coloured background

Blue
Yellow
Red
Purple
Cyan
Grey

Gradient background

Orange-red
Cyan-blue
Purple-indigo

Knowing all these, there are a few methods of getting around this Facebook BIG text issue so that all texts appear small. Throughout my tests, I found a few ways to beat the system, so here’s a list of them.

Upload any image to your text-only post. It can be a 1 pixel x 1 pixel image – it doesn’t matter. As long as there’s an image.

I’ve included a 1 pixel x 1 pixel here. Click here to see it. (Hint: you can’t. It’s too small to see.)

Works great on desktop, but not on mobile.
Highly suggest adding an irrelevant cutesy image rather than a blank 1 pixel x 1 pixel image.

Include a feeling/activity

Works for some of them only

Exceed the 85 character limit

Doesn’t work if you hit Enter/Return multiple times to bypass

Enter/Return are not counted as characters

So far I think the best option available is to include some image, but it will definitely fill up your timeline of photos with random images if you do it repeatedly. Here’s how it looks like without the 1 pixel x 1 pixel image on both desktop and mobile.
Click here to test it out on your device.
Annoying BIG text.
Still is big on mobile. At least it’s tinier than the one with 1 pixel x 1 pixel image.
Here’s how it looks like with the 1 pixel x 1 pixel image on both desktop and mobile.
Click here to test it out on your device.
It’s really discreet, and definitely tiny.
Not so discreet on mobile though. It’s hideous!
My recommendation is to put in some cutesy image – that’ll surely get attention. Then, type out your entire status and put a disclaimer in the end saying that the image is irrelevant or the image is for decoration only. I mean sure – you’ll definitely annoy some friends on your friends list, but you at least don’t have to scream at their face with the BIG texts.
Also, will Facebook just add a proper “disable Facebook BIG text“ button and call it a day already? I’m quite tired of finding workarounds, and then not working after 5 days because you released another tiny update.

UPDATE: There’s a comment made on this post that suggested using a 800 pixel x 1 pixel image.
I tried it, and yes – it works! It bypassed the humongous font size, and maintained a very slim profile in the post. Of course, it inherits the problem where there will be many images in your Facebook profile’s photos – but we don’t really have a better way to disable this feature.
Click here to check out the post using your device!
On desktop. Looks good.
On Facebook’s app. Looks even better!
If you want to use this method to “disable” the Facebook BIG text feature, click here to download the 800 pixel x 1 pixel image! Just remember to download the link itself to get the image – or else you cannot see the image at all!

[UPDATE]: You can disable by first typing a lot of space, then include a single period at the end. Thanks everyone in the comment section below!
I’ve been reading all of your suggestions and ideas in the comments below. The general idea is this – since the Facebook BIG text only appear if the status update is less than a certain number of characters, you can hit spacebars until it shrinks back to its usual size.
However, hitting Post directly won’t work. Facebook will automatically cancel off all the extra spaces at the end. You’ll have to type either a symbol or an alphabet at the end of those spaces so that Facebook retains all of it.
Down in the comments section (thanks again!), many have suggested to enter spaces until it shrinks, then hitting another period key at the end will make Facebook retain all of the spaces!
Minor addition: There is an 86-character threshold before the font size gets smaller again. So make sure you spam those spaces!

[UPDATE]: Facebook is now adding backgrounds with images for status updates!
Yes – you read that right. Facebook is adding status updates with images of grasses, flowers, night sky, milky way, and much more! It’s never more crucial to learn how to disable these background posts.
Click here to find out more about these Facebook background posts.

Amazfit Malaysia unleashes new T-Rex Ultra for the hyper adventurous and sporty person

For those seeking the very best smartwatch for heavy outdoor or tactical usage, Amazfit Malaysia got the answer and it is the new T-Rex Ultra.

Created for the most extreme sports, the T-Rex Ultra will be a good choice for deep divers as it can tank up to 10 ATM of water pressure. The included freediving function can calculate water depth for your information while the breathing exercise feature can help ease any underwater activities for non-seasoned hobbyists.

EZVIZ’s new BC1 outdoor cam runs off of battery for a zero wire setup

EZVIZ has announced the new BC1 outdoor camera that safeguards your perimeters without doing all the drilling and cable installs. Yes, no wires.

The BC1 stands out among the rest due to its inherent design of using a portable power source that eliminates the need for a power line. Equipped with a 12,900mAh battery, it is rated to run close to 365 days, or a full year, give or take. As a smart outdoor CCTV, it can detect and identify human beings thanks to a dedicated algorithm allowing it to do so while setting off a loud siren and high energy flash to warn the owners in case of potential intruders. Alternatively, users can set certain periods to run the tight monitoring algorithm or even use the camera itself as a door cam thanks to the built-in microphone.
Talking about the build material itself, the magnetic base allows you to stick the BC1 on outdoor metallic surfaces for an easy installation while the entire device is IP66 rated, a must for outdoor electronics if you ask me.
Pricing
The EZVIZ BC1 is offered in 3 kinds of package variety starting from a single camera unit at RM549 while the twin pack will run you RM879 and lastly RM1,229 for a triple camera setup. All of them come with a base station that acts as the central control unit and storage device supporting the microSD format of up to 256GB per card. Users can also subscribe to EZVIZ CloudPlay for unlimited storage and auto backup for a zero-hassle and worry-free experience.

Review – Amazfit T-Rex Pro: Rugged, stylish, and lots of features

Amazfit recently announced the brand new updated version of their military-grade watch, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro. Since this is the first time we’re seeing the T-Rex series of watch, let’s review it with a fresh pair of eyes.

So this watch is an upgrade from the original Amazfit T-Rex. While it looks the same, all the upgrades are done under the hood.

Keeping with the same “Military-grade Toughness”, the new Amazfit T-Rex Pro has upgraded toughness and it can now go up to 10 ATM of pressure, which is about 100 meters underwater. It now even has ice- and freezing rain-resistance.

As for the specs, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro comes with:

1.3″ AMOLED display
360×360 pixels in resolution

Honestly, this display is bright and beautiful – and it does have an automatic brightness option as well.

As for the strap, it’s a fantastic strap, honestly. It’s made out of high-quality silicone and does not stick to my skin, and it also helps to wick sweat away thanks to the contours on the strap.

Obviously, with such a fantastic strap, it’s very comfortable to wear. But if you want to change the strap, you can, but a specific size of Allen key to unscrew the strap and change it.

As for the software side of things, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro is also connected to the same Zepp app as the Amazfit GTS 2e, so check out that review instead.

So far, I’m still loving the Zepp app. It’s a very clean app and everything is laid out nicely. Though, the number of watch faces is rather limited, in my opinion. There is the option to put own picture as the watch face background – which is exactly what I did.

As for the battery life, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro can reach to about 4 days in my intense use case of many hundreds of notifications per day. That’s actually an impressive feat. However, we’ll still need to use the proprietary charging cable to charge this watch. I really hope Amazfit opts in for wireless Qi charging in the future as that allows the watch to be charged with any other wireless chargers, or even reverse wireless charging from many smartphones.

And at the end of the day, the Amazfit T-Rex Pro is priced at RM659 to which I’ll say, there’s really no other smart band out there that offers the uniqueness that the Amazfit T-Rex Pro has.
It focuses on being rugged and it delivers – while looking rugged at the same time.

PQI My Lockey Grants Fingerprint Access In 0.15 Seconds

If you’re using Windows 10 (most of us are, because Microsoft forces us to), chances are you’ve heard of their new biometric logins. It’s a convenient little feature – but it requires special hardware for Windows Hello, or a fingerprint sensor for easy login. That changes today with the brand new PQI My Lockey.
The PQI My Lockey brings about one single idea – fingerprint scanning for easy and convenient security. It’s a USB-based fingerprint scanner too, and it’s no bigger than your typical wireless mouse receiver.

According to PQI, there are a few takeaway points regarding the My Lockey:

Designed for the latest Windows 10 operating system
Couple Microsoft Windows Hello biometric with PQI Fingerprint USB Dongle, follow the Accounts’ Sign-in option prompts for fingerprint password setup and you’re on your way to secure your personal data and never having to remember complex passwords, ever!

No. 1 in fingerprint ID, your personal gold-key, access within 0.15 seconds
Swift, accurate and responsive! In the blink of an eye (within 0.15 seconds), it accurately identifies the biometric ID on the sensor. Compare to typing the password, it only requires 1/3 of the time to access your personal data.

Breath-sensing, precision algorithm, virtually impossible to duplicate
My Lockey features AI biological detection, breath-sensing and high precision algorithm to detect forged fingerprints, making your data safer and harder for high-tech forgers to access!

Detectable in 360 degrees, anyone of your fingers will do
Using capacitive touch technology, it is more accurate and responsive than traditional optics. Use any of your fingertips, left or right hand, you can use it as your security pass to safeguard your personal data.

Setup up to 10 fingerprint IDs
You may setup to 10 fingerprint IDs and for every fingerprint ID account, one can setup multiple fingerprints as IDs. On a public access computer (office, bank, school, etc.), the account data shown will be determined by the fingerprint ID so personal data can only be accessed by you, avoiding personal data accessed by others.

Certified by Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance
The Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) Alliance is an industry consortium that started back in February 2013. Its’ main purpose is to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication devices and problems users face when creating and having to remember multiple usernames and passwords. It also resolves malicious trojan programs from obtaining your password. So whether it is ecommerce, online payments, software / hardware system integrators or traditional PKI token certification, PQI Fingerprint USB Dongle is FIDO certified, it is platform / system interoperable and meets modern digital data safety needs.

Say, are you interested in getting one of these goldkey for your own system? Be it a laptop or desktop – I think gadgets like PQI My Lockey is a very handy little addition to us all.
Let us know down in the comments below!

[UPDATE]: PQI My Lockey gets certification for Windows Hello Biometric!
There’s nothing more exciting than seeing the PQI My Lockey getting a certification from Microsoft for their Windows Hello feature. I have to say, Windows Hello is a great authentication feature.
As of now, there is still no price for the PQI My Lockey yet, but it is said to be available in mid-February – which is next week.
We’ll definitely update you when we have the price.

Review – Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017): A Smartphone To Have Fun Without Worries

This is the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) – the first smartphone from Samsung for this year. Actually, they announced it in the morning just 5 days into the new year, and with an indoor tropical forest-like environment with tents a la a camping site. It was beautiful!
Back to the phone – what does the Galaxy A7 (2017) has to offer to the masses, anyway? Well, let’s be straightforward here – Samsung’s A-series of smartphones were always aimed towards the mid-range market. Because it’s priced at RM 1,899 and with the hardware that it boasts, the Galaxy A7 (2017), in particular, is placed in between the mid-range and high-end segment of smartphones.

The question is – how does the Galaxy A7 (2017) fare out? Let’s find out!
Unboxing
Firstly, starting off with the packaging as usual. It has a standard Samsung Galaxy A-series packaging, which is okay. Nothing too fancy here.

To help differentiate between this generation’s Galaxy A7 and the previous ones, Samsung included the year number at the top right corner.
It’s 2017!
At the back is where some of the features are highlighted alongside with a brief rundown of its specs.

But wait – we’ve also gone made an unboxing video to showcase what the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) has to offer. Its accessories inside are actually worth mentioning.
Check out the video below!

After unboxing everything, these are what you’ll get.
The phone itself, a SIM ejector tool, a USB-A to USB-C cable, an Adapter Fast Charger, a pair of in-ear earphones, a micro USB to USB-C adapter, and some documentations.
[nextpage title=”Design”]
At first glance, I thought that I’m looking at the Galaxy S7. No, not the edge version. The one without the edge. It looks and feels similar, actually. The button placements have been maintained, too.

At the front, it has the same geometrical shape as the Galaxy S7. It’s beautifully simple with its rounded edges. At the side is where the glass front curves inwards and wraps into the metal rim. The usual home button/fingerprint sensor and two buttons can also be found at its usual positions, too.

The back panel is a large piece of non-removable glass panel. Just like any other glossy material, they will attract fingerprints and dust easily.

One very important and interesting side note here – the rear camera is now sitting completely flat against the back panel. Obviously, there’s a ridge that separates between the rear camera’s glass from the entire back panel’s glass. In some ways, I appreciate that Samsung didn’t just use one big piece of glass for the back panel.

Speaking of the back panel, at the correct angle of reflection, you can really get some stunning pictures off the back. It’s just really shiny!

Then there are the two curved sides which heavily improves the grip on the Galaxy A7 (2017) itself. Love this curvature a lot.

Now, Samsung did shake up its port placements quite a bit. While both the volume rocker and power button are in the usual left-right position respectively, the Galaxy A7 (2017) has its USB-C port ant 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom only.

“So where’s the speaker?”, as you cunning readers ask. I had a hard time finding it too, until I got the Galaxy A7 (2017) all set up and played a YouTube video to find it instead. It’s at the side – right above the power button. It’s a very unconventional position – we all know. But does it work?

It actually does! My pink finger that I use to support the phone while holding it one-handed didn’t block the speaker hole. At all. With the speaker at this position, I can game on the Galaxy A7 (2017) without obstructing the speaker grill!
[nextpage title=”Connectivity”]
Now, how about the connectivity? Previously, there was a little hack on the Galaxy S7, showing how you can actually put both SIM cards and a microSD card together – but it’ll require an intense surgery. For the brand new Galaxy A7 (2017), Samsung heard our cries and they actually improved on how many SIM cards can be placed inside.

Samsung still placed the SIM card slot at the top – nothing out of the ordinary here. However, once I carefully inspected this tray, it’s written SIM2 and microSD. “Where’s SIM1?“, I wondered. I proceeded with another investigation on the Galaxy A7 (2017) itself and I discovered another tray on the lower left side of the phone.

So that makes up a total of two trays. The left tray is for SIM1 only, whereas the second tray at the top is for SIM2 and microSD card. Smart move there, Samsung! There’s no need for an extremely long tray to accommodate all two SIM cards and a microSD card together.
A big plus for those who want all 3 working at the same time!
Other than that, it comes with Bluetooth 4.2 for latest and greatest compatibility with your peripherals. Even supports FM radio too, if that’s what you like to tune in to.
Lastly and definitely not the least is NFC. It’s quite an obscure feature to have on a smartphone these days, but due to the uprising of cashless payments, I think NFC will make a great comeback. For the Galaxy A7 (2017), NFC is included obviously for Samsung Pay.
[nextpage title=”Display”]
Samsung also upgraded the Galaxy A7 (2017)’s display from its predecessors, as it now features a massive 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display. This display is gorgeous, obviously. Color saturation is fantastic, and the black color is obviously unprecedented.
Why? Because it’s a signature feature on AMOLED displays. As each pixel is an individual LED, it displays black color by simply not turning the LED on. This is not possible with other types of display.

Since only the colors needed are displayed on the screen, it does save a whole lot of battery juice by default. And that’s why Samsung even included Always On Display – a feature that’s only logical to be included in smartphones with Super AMOLED displays.
The Always On Display on the Galaxy A7 (2017) is similar to what the Galaxy S7 current has, with the option of opting for a single or double digital clock. A very useful feature for those who always glance at their phones to see what’s new in their notifications.
There’s also an option to display a single digital clock with the month’s calendar or select from one of the few static graphics to be displayed phone is asleep too!
Here’s a brief walk-through on what to expect from Samsung’s Always On Display feature.

[nextpage title=”Camera”]
This is the one part that I think many of you are eager to know about. Heck, even I do. So how does the camera perform?

First off, the rear-camera is a 16MP sensor with a f/1.9 aperture with a 27mm lens, OIS, autofocus, and LED flash. These specs and numbers are quite okay, and the pictures do tell the story here. I took all of these images in full auto mode. Take a look at some of the photos I’ve taken.

For me, I don’t think that the camera is properly stabilized. The one picture of my table in particular, was blurry. When I inspected a blurry image, it was actually taken with f/1.9 at 1/50 sec at ISO-40. It’s quite a bummer. The Pro mode (actually manual mode) doesn’t offer the option to manually tune its shutter speed too. I think that Samsung could’ve at least given us the option to manually fine tune the shutter speed.
Also, for some reason, the live viewfinder is extremely slow in room-lit conditions – and through my gaming senses, I can confirm that it’s lower than 24FPS. Even the capture speed is slow.
Other than that, the colors are pretty accurate too, and the interface is super-simple to use. With its dust- and water-resistance, I’ll be having some fun/experiment on some photography magic in the near future. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing it with you.
Launching the camera from sleep with a double-click on the home button is really quick. Also, thank you Samsung for including an option for a floating Camera button!
While the camera might seem to be very simple and not many features overall,  Samsung made it expandable. There are more modes that are available for download from the Samsung App Store. Currently, there’s only Sports mode and Animated GIF mode. I’m sure Samsung will add more in the future.
Then comes to the 16MP selfie camera with a f/1.9 lens. It’s actually not bad, considering the lack of auto-focus and again with the slow capture speed and slow viewfinder.
However, Samsung managed to redeem itself by not having its camera protruding out anymore. With an addition of a phone case, the camera can avoid from being scratched entirely!

[nextpage title=”Software”]
I don’t have any complaints regarding Samsung’s TouchWiz since a year or so ago. They’ve improved a lot over the years, and it shows. The new “TouchWiz” – now called Grace UX –  is although clunky times due to its irregularity in menu placements compared to stock Android, I think it’s pretty okay for first-time users.
Everything is structured in a hierarchical way, and everything is nicely grouped together. If you need to access something quick, then use the search button at the top right. That little function will dig deep into the settings menu and find what you want, and directly skip into what you want to change.

Then there’s also the quick settings bar up top on the notification bar itself. Customizability is quite minimal here, as it only allows the option to rearrange the icons but not to enable or disable any of them at all. However, there’s also another search bar here too.

This time, it’s a system-wide search function that searches everything in your Galaxy A7 (2017). From apps to files, music, Google searches, settings, and even nearby devices to be connected via Bluetooth or DLNA via Samsung’s Quick connect too. Very useful feature overall.
Multitasker’s dream
Samsung even included split-screen view (I call it picture-by-picture mode) in the Galaxy A7 (2017) too. With its 5.7-inch display, I think it’s only logical to make full use of this feature. I’ve always been scrolling Facebook and Twitter together side by side, with Facebook Messenger’s Chat Head at the side. This is the ultimate social media setup – at least for me.
One thing I’d like to see is the ability to save a preset, so it’ll directly launch the two apps of my choice in split-screen view. Direct, and easy.
Oh – you can do picture-in-picture mode too, with one app floating above the other and being smaller at the same time. If you want even more multitask goodness, then fear not – you can open up to 5 apps and minimize them into these little floating icons. Tap on them to maximize.
One crucial feature is missing here – to quickly switch between the maximized and minimized app with a tap of a button. Again, it’s a first world issue, but I already love its multitasking capability already.

While on the subject of multitasking, what specs powers the Galaxy A7 (2017)? What makes it so powerful that it can have a total of 6 different apps – 5 floating, and one maximized – running at the same time?
[nextpage title=”Performance”]
Opting for the Samsung Exynos 7880 Octa chipset with 1.9GHz processor, Mali-T830MP3 graphics, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. Of course, all transistors in this smartphone is made with the revolutionary FinFET technology, and they’ve opted for 14nm process too. You can learn more about it by clicking here.
On paper, the specs are pretty decent. Let’s take a look at how it performs in the benchmarks.

On Epic Citadel, it scored 42.4FPS – which is not the best score that a smartphone can have. Either way, having 42.4FPS is not a slouch at all. However, it did thermal throttle a little as I was getting higher frame rates at first.  In the end, it stabilized at 42.4FPS at around 52℃. Not bad.

On Vellamo, it tells a similar story too. The performance isn’t top notch, but it’s well beyond the mid-range smartphone standards. It’s safe to place the Galaxy A7 (2017)’s performance somewhere in between the mid-range to high-end smartphone category.
Now, it would suck if I just mentioned these numbers and not talk about the one feature that Samsung added – and that’s the Game Tools.

It appears as a little floating icon at the side when you’re playing a game, and it offers some other features to compliment your gameplay. For example, it offers the option to disable the two capacitive keys, blocks all notifications, and record in-game footage.
The in-game footage record is actually pretty decent too, as it can save Modern Combat 5 in real-time at 720p resolution without any frame rate drops.
[nextpage title=”Battery”]
I thought Samsung bumped up the battery to 3,600mAh to compensate for their power-hungry Exynos chipset – but then I remembered. If it’s made using the 14nm FinFET process, the battery life should be within certain standard already.
Check out this link where we describe why batteries nowadays can last for such a long time.
Hastily, I installed PC Mark for Android and ran their battery test to test it out right away. Here’s the result.

A lengthy 13 hours and 48 minutes of continuous usage on WiFi and without a SIM card! That’s not a simple feat to pull off, considering that the furthest I’ve stretched lasted for about 10 hours and 30 minutes only. To see that the Galaxy A7 (2017) can easily last for another hour more in this benchmark made me smirk.

How about its charger? I think Samsung did a great job for not skimping out on their charger. They’ve included their Adaptive Fast Charging adapter together with the Galaxy A7 (2017) itself. It can output a maximum of 9V at 1.67A – which is 15W!

On a side note here, the Galaxy A7 (2017) uses USB-C. This will obvious pose a lot of compatibility issues with your existing cables and chargers, and Samsung only included a single USB-A to USB-C cable.

This is where Samsung made me really happy with the Galaxy A7 (2017). They included a microUSB-to-USB-C adapter in the box itself. This means that all of my current microUSB cables can be used with the Galaxy A7 (2017) with this simple little adapter. I don’t have to go out and buy new USB-C cables!
[nextpage title=”Wrapping up the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) review”]
I have to admit one thing – the Galaxy A7 (2017) is the one smartphone that gets a lot of the little things perfectly right. For instance, perfect dual SIM + microSD compatibility with dust- and water-resistance. It’s a fantastic device for those who want a Galaxy S7, but feel that it’s too expensive.
No more camera protrusion!
At the price of RM 1,899 for the Galaxy A7 (2017), I feel that it’s one of the better mid-range smartphones out there, largely thanks to its magnificent set of features that it brings to the table. With the complete set of accessories that come along with the Galaxy A7 (2017), it’s a very good all-in-one package for those who are seeking for smartphones with the latest and greatest features.
It’s also a great entry point to Samsung’s ecosystem of apps and systems too – like the Samsung Pay, for example. The Galaxy A7 (2017) is fully-featured, and it’s ready for what Samsung has to offer in the future.
Let’s not forget its water resistance!
The only complaints I have is the glossy back panel and the capacitive buttons/fingerprint sensor placement. Other than that, it’s actually a very good phone!
If the 5.7-inch model is too big for you, then opt for the smaller Galaxy A5 (2017) instead. It has pretty much the exact same specs, other than the screen size is now at 5.2-inch and battery capacity is at 3,000mAh.

Jom celebrate Raya in Gaya with Samsung QLED TVs with these interesting deals

Samsung has revealed the new arrivals of Samsung QLED TVs for the Malaysian market just in time for the Hari Raya season where promotions are available until the end of June.
The models that have been brought into are The Sero, The Serif, and The Frame, which all of them utilize state-of-the-art quantum processors, Object Tracking Sounds+, Active Voice Amplifier and Adaptive Sound+ to bring you the next level of immersion.

We talked about these three TVs before – but here’s a quick recap on all of these TVs.
The Sero

Wish you can pivot your TV like your monitor freely between horizontal and vertical? The Sero grants you the power to do so. Carrying the meaning of “vertical” in Korean, it can display contents from mobiles and tablets without worrying orientation compatibility and supported by top-level QLED technology with 100% color volume by Quantum Dot, I bet mobile games would look real good on this screen.
The Serif

Designed by Paris-based Ronan & Erwan Bourollec, this TV focuses more on the artistic feel of creators bringing the theme of harmony and presentation to the eyes of the viewer. Apparently, its Magic Screen feature will let you enjoy content in a unique way like never before. Even though sometimes art can be simple as it is, it looks more like a premium digital whiteboard made of QLEDs to me.
The Frame

The Frame is illiterate as it is. Think of it as a digital picture frame where stunning pictures and vivid scenes can be added as much as you want, except that you can watch shows with it as well. It has a brightness sensor to calibrate the surroundings accordingly to fit the picture, motion sensor that turns off the display for conservation, and a smart timer setting that displays specific pictures at specific times.
By the way, Samsung also announced that there will be 38 new pieces of art from Thyssen Museum in Spain to its Art Store in The Frame. The new additions include masterpieces painted by artists such as Claude Monet or Auguste Renoir. Some other highlights include The Stevedores in Arles by Vincent van Gogh or Bottle, Carafe, Jug and Lemons by Paul Cézanne, Woman on a Divan, by August Macke and several pieces by the Italian landscape painter, Canaletto.

The collection also incorporates one of Picasso’s disciples and master of Spanish Cubism, Juan Gris, and his work, The Smoker, in addition to the remarkable female artist, Lyubov Popova, and her masterpiece Painterly Architectonic (Still Life: Instruments), known for its reference to Constructivism. Artistic movements such as German Expressionism are also included.
With Samsung’s The Frame, we can enjoy these 44 pieces of exquisite art pieces from Thyssen Museum in the comfort of our homes with vivid picture quality.

This is the third collection from a Spanish art gallery to be part of Samsung The Frame partnership. With Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum joining the collections, Samsung Art Store now has more than 1,200 art pieces and photographs in 4K quality from museums and galleries around the world such as the Prado Museum in Madrid, the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the Tate Modern in London, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Hermitage State Museum in Saint Petersburg, Magnum Photos and LUMAS.
All these art pieces are available both under a single purchase and a monthly subscription.
Fantastic deals for these TVs

Black Shark 3 Pro & Black Shark Bluetooth Earphones 2 now available in Malaysia; Starts at RM4,199 and RM399

The launch of the Black Shark 3 has definitely spiced up the gaming smartphone market. It brought the latest specs alongside some gaming-centric smartphone features at a rather interesting price point.
And the wait is finally over for hardcore gamers as the Black Shark 3 Pro has arrived in Malaysia. The physical Master Trigger buttons stand out from the rest of the competition against others like ROG Phone’s AirTriggers, which is touch-based.

Here’s a quick refresh on the specs of the Black Shark 3 Pro:

7.1-inch AMOLED screen

90Hz refresh rate
1440p resolution

Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset
Up to 12GB RAM
Up to 512GB storage
Triple rear-facing cameras

Main: 64MP f/1.8 with PDAF
Ultra-wide angle: 13MP f/2.3
Depth sensor

20MP f/2.2 selfie camera
5,000mAh battery

65W wired charging
18W magnetic charging

Comparing the Black Shark 3 Pro and the Black Shark 3, the only notable difference in terms of specs is the screen itself – larger screen with higher resolution and also higher refresh rate.
If you want to know more about Black Shark 3, we reviewed it not to long ago here. Essentially, it’s a decent gaming smartphone overall – but we suggested to hold off the purchase and see what’s the price of the Black Shark 3 Pro first.
Review – Black Shark 3: A mixed bag of gaming features

Released alongside the Black Shark 3 Pro is the Black Shark Bluetooth Earphones 2, a neckband. It 14 hours battery that can be charged in 90 minutes, Knowles audio driver just like the Edifier TWS6 that we reviewed here, and weighing at 22g.
Neckbands generally have lower delay compared to TWS since it doesn’t need to sync the audio between two sides wirelessly.
But while it might be subjective, I personally do not see it being the savior of wireless audio for gaming, particularly timing-intense one like rhythm games. And until now, no one in the market could truly solve the wireless audio delay issue, at least not at the consumer level.
The champion for lowest wireless audio delay is still the aptX LL codec, which is unfortunately not natively available to any smartphones in the market. We’ll need a separate receiver/transmitter to enjoy aptX LL.

The Black Shark 3 Pro and Bluetooth Earphones 2 will be available exclusively on Shopee.

Is the Edifier Hecate GM4 TWS truly made for gaming?

What we have today is interesting. Edifier has been in the audio market for a long time. They’ve been selling speakers for many years – and I have a set of speaker from them that’s more than a decade old. And today, we have the Edifier Hecate GM4 and they’re claiming that it’s made for gaming. Literally, that claim is on the box itself.
So, we won’t be fully reviewing the Edifier Hecate GM4. But instead, we’ll be doing an audio latency test after unboxing it.

I highly suggest you watch this video as we go through the features and test the audio delay in the video itself.

Thing is, the Edifier Hecate GM4 has a big design flaw. The lid curves back, which really defeats the purpose of having the lid opening up to a great degree of angle. And this charging case could’ve been more than just a TWS charging case if it doubles as a mouse – because as it is now, it looks like a mini mouse.

Also, the charging case looks like a doorstopper…

Whichever the case may be, the Edifier Hecate GM4 does have gaming mode. According to the Audio Tester app (which gives a very rough estimation of latency) tells us that with gaming mode turned on, the latency goes down to about 100ms. When gaming mode is turned off, the delay goes back up to nearly 300ms.

This tells us that the gaming mode does a pretty good job in terms of lowering the latency – but comes at a cost, and that’s the audio quality. You see, the Edifier Hecate GM4 doesn’t have aptX codec support. My guess is that Edifier locked it down to SBC only, and they can control and lower the audio bitrate when gaming mode is turned on.

Either way, a smart move from Edifier and they managed to get the latency low. However, if you’re serious about gaming and require perfect sync between the animations and audio, then I still suggest you get wired earphones or headphones.
Nonetheless, the Edifier Hecate GM4 is priced at RM199 only and it’s just a fantastic pair of true wireless earbuds – if you don’t mind some latency.

Terragraph trial starts at Georgetown soon

Georgetown, Penang. It is a heritage city with many old buildings that spans over a hundred years old – and it has the UNESCO status which makes it impossible to run cables through the buildings. Hence, YTL Communications launched Terragraph – a wireless high-speed broadband connection that is supported by Facebook.
A breakthrough in technology is needed to address the need for better broadband while preserving the uniqueness of Georgetown’s proud UNESCO status. Commencing on March 1, we expect the pilot to last up to six months, during which we will learn and plan for the commercial rollout while continuing to explore ways to harness this advanced wireless fiber technology.
As the pioneer of 4G in Malaysia, we have built the largest pure-4G network and provide Malaysians with the best data value pricing. The future is wireless. This pilot clearly confirms the viability of wireless as an effective last mile solution. The technical breakthrough in providing gigabit wireless using Terragraph is a preview of the exciting era of 5G.
– Wing K. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of YTL Communications
The current preview of Terragraph is already showing great promise. We are currently seeing speeds of around 1.3Gb/s download and 1.7Gb/s upload sped – which is just insanely fast even compared to optical fiber.

The Terragraph pilot program in Georgetown starts this 1st March 2019.
Given that the street furniture are essentially nodes now, the deployment of IoT nodes for things like weather data collection network can also latch onto the Terragraph infrastructure. Essentially, another infrastructure can piggyback off another existing network.

ASUS brings first STRIX laptop, the GL502VT

Ever wondered what other crazy things can be done by ASUS on their RoG line of laptops since the release of the world’s first liquid-cooled laptop? Personally speaking, I don’t know – but ASUS does. Introducing the first ever gaming laptop in the Strix series, the GL502VT.
The only word I can use to describe this laptop is “omgwtfbbq”, because they manage to  over the top with the liquid-cooled GX700 and now over the side (is that even a thing?) with the GL502VT by introducing super thinness 23.5mm design with feather light 2.2kg weight. If this doesn’t impress you, take a look at the specs of the GL502VT.

Strix GL502VT

Processor
Intel Core i7-6700HQ Processor 2.6 GHz (6M Cache, up to 3.5 GHz)

Graphics
Nvidia GeForce GTX970M

Operating system
Windows 10 (64-bit)

Display
15.6-inch LED UHD (3840X2160)

Memory &
storage
16GB DDR4 RAM
1TB SATA 5400RPM 2.5′ HDD
128GB SATA3 M.2 SSD

Connectivity
1x HDMI 1.4
1x Headphone-out & audio-in combo jack
1x RJ45 LAN
1x mini Display Port 1.2
1x USB 3.1 Type-C (generation 1)
3x USB 3.0

Power supply
180W AC Adapter
62WHr/64WHr 4-cell Lithium ion battery

Size
39.0 x 26.6 x 2.35 cm (GL502VT)

Weight
2.24kg (GL502VT)

Other unspecified cool features are ambient noise filters with an array of microphones at the top to get your voice clearly, and damn, 100% SRGB colour space on an IPS panel, with up to 178° wide-angle view.

Oh sorry, I was salivating by just looking at GL502VT. Right – the price. It’s RM6,999 for this configuration specifically. Not too bad I’d say, given that this one machine alone is a total powerhouse and powerful enough to replace desktops that are a generation older. Also, it uses an 180W power brick – just a reminder.

Saving the environment through reducing e-waste from refurbishing businesses is Reebelo’s take on protecting Malaysia

Buying a brand new tech gadget is often the choice to go for due to longevity and quality factors but with each of them being made, they may become an e-waste way earlier than you might think but all of these can be changed, through Reebelo’s effort.

Some of you might have known that e-waste is currently one of the toughest things to tackle aside from plastic yet not because of the e-waste’s inherently hard to decompose nature but more of the commitment level problem where according to data compiled by our Malaysia government, only 25% of them are recycled. To prevent or at least slow down the detrimental process of our lovely country’s natural landscape and resources, Reebelo is taking a big step as one of the organizations openly engaging in the recycling activity.
Reebelo’s main way of tackling the issue is to promote a new way of buying/selling refurbished tech goodies like smartphones, tablets, and notebooks, among others, at an affordable rate to ultimately strengthen Malaysia’s circular economy. How do they source these things in the first place? Through their latest program of buying old and unused devices from consumers and refurbish them through certified companies, of course. By doing this, Reebelo is hoping that they could save 60 tonnes of accumulated e-waste by the end of next year, one device at a time.
The marketplace platform also formed a partnership with One Tree Planted who is dedicated to environmental planting by ensuring 1 tree is planted for each purchase made on Reebelo’s platform. Tackling 2 problems at once for greater effectiveness and efficiency? Personally, I’d take that any day.
You can learn about Reebelo by visiting their website.

MWC2019: Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 4.2, Nokia 3.2, Nokia 1 Plus, & Nokia 210 launched

MWC2019 is here and we are expected to see a slew of new devices launching from different manufacturers over the course of this week. First off, we start with HMD Global, the home of Nokia smartphones. The highly anticipated Nokia 9 PureView was just launched alongside with other devices as well – the Nokia 4.2, Nokia 3.2, Nokia 1 Plus, and also the entry-level Nokia 210.
Nokia is really starting off with a bang this year around.

Nokia 9 PureView

This smartphone was already rumored and predicted and had multiple leaks since late last year. Now, the Nokia 9 PureView has officially been launched and we finally know all the details. First, let’s see the specs:

5.99-inch pOLED Nokia PureDisplay with 2880×1440 pixels in resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset
6GB of LPDDR4X RAM
128GB of UFS 2.1 storage
Quintuple rear-facing cameras:

2x 12MP f/1.8 RGB cameras with autofocus and ZEISS optics
3x 12MP f/1.8 monochromatic cameras with autofocus and ZEISS optics

20MP selfie camera
3,320mAh battery
Android 9.0 Pie

Other key features of the Nokia 9 PureView are the under display fingerprint scanner and of course, the capabilities of the quintuple rear-facing cameras. Nokia says that it can fuse all the 5 cameras together into a single 12MP photo with impressive dynamic range and unparalleled depth of field.
Funny enough, the Nokia 9 PureView does not come with a 3.5mm audio jack but Nokia included a USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack in the box. Also, the 3,320mAh is questionably small as other smartphones with Snapdragon 845 chipset is in quite a danger zone in day-to-day usage.
The Nokia 9 PureView is already shipping and will be available for USD $699 (~RM2,852.64)
Nokia 4.2
This brand new entry- to mid-range smartphone is made to capture the hearts of emerging markets – like India. The specs are looking to be pretty good, too.

5.71-inch 1520×720 pixels in resolution with waterdrop notch
Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 chipset
2GB or 3GB DDR3 RAM
16GB or 32GB eMMC storage (expandable with microSD card)
Dual rear-facing cameras

13MP f/2.2
2MP depth sensor

8MP selfie camera
3,000mAh battery
Android 9.0 Pie

Looking at the specs, the Nokia 4.2 is a pretty compelling smartphone for that price range as well – especially with Google’s software support.
The Nokia 4.2 will be available starting in April at USD $169 (~RM688.71) for the 2GB RAM + 16GB storage version and USD $199 (~RM810.96) for the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage version.
Nokia 3.2
Nokia’s other smartphone with another sleek design and meant for the entry-level market is the Nokia 3.2. This smartphone packs specs that are similar to the Nokia 4.2 and with some minor changes:

6.26-inch display with 1520×720 pixels in resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 429 chipset
2GB or 3GB of DDR3 RAM
16GB or 32GB of eMMC storage (expandable with microSD card)
13MP rear-facing camera
5MP selfie camera
4,000mAh battery
Android 9.0 Pie

Once again, aiming at around the same target audience of the Nokia 4.2, but with some interesting twist – slightly lower specs and reduction in camera count, but has a massive increase in battery size.

The Nokia 3.2 will be starting may with the price of USD $139 (~RM566.45) for the 2GB RAM + 16GB RAM variant and USD $169 (~RM688.71) for the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant.
Nokia 1 Plus
Nokia’s brand new entry-level smartphone is the continuation of the Nokia 1 that was launched last year. This new Nokia 1 Plus has all of the good bits with upgraded specs.

5.45-inch IPS display with 960×480 pixels in resolution
Mediatek MT6739WW chipset (4x 1.5GHz)
1GB RAM
8GB storage
8MP rear-facing camera
5MP selfie camera
3,500mAh battery
Android 9.0 Pie – Go Edition

Since the Nokia 1 Plus does come with the Android 9.0 Pie – Go Edition, it comes with all the Go variant of Google apps as well, making it optimized to perform the essential tasks of a smartphone but with much lower performance tax.
The Nokia 1 Plus will be available in mid-March with the price of USD $139 (~RM403.44)
Nokia 210
Nokia’s brand new feature phone with the basics of everyday usage. It comes with a 2.4-inch display with 16MB of storage and 4MB of RAM (didn’t see this number in more than a decade). You can still browse the internet and upload pictures on Facebook on this phone too. It does have a camera, you know.
The Nokia 210 will be available from March at the price of USD $35 (~RM142.63)

Qualcomm reveals new drone with full on AI capabilities and powered by 5G

Qualcomm Technologies has officially revealed the brand new smart drone platform in the name of Flight RB5.

The Flight RB5 is the latest aviation-based solution by Qualcomm just after the success of the Ingenuity Helicopter that landed on Mars a few months ago where this smart drone is configured and ready for industrial deployment. Powered by the Qualcomm QRB1565 processor, the Flight RB5 was built to fulfill the needs of the digital era such as IoT and 5G – the main drive and cause of Industry 4.0 by enabling innovative possibilities through drone solutions.
As for its components, the SoC developed in-house operates at an ultra-low level but the AI and Machine Learning algorithm are capable of function at a very low power draw to perform all sorts of autonomous functions. For connectivity, it supports both 5G and WiFi 6 with security defense handled by Qualcomm SPU to safely secure the drone against all sorts of attacks that tries to take control of it. It is especially crucial and riskier when, for say, hundreds of Flight RB5 deployed to places that are out of human reach during critical missions.
Practically, the world has already deployed drones in many industries such as emergency response (forest fire), entertainment (remember the drones that shaped the globe during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics Show?), logistics (parcel delivery), mapping, and tracking (heat detection). However, those can be quite restrictive and proprietary in terms of accessibility and Qualcomm wants the world to realize how much more drones can do by simply taking a step into commercialization (quite a big step I must say) and let every business sector taking part in it.
The Qualcomm Flight RB5 reference design is currently available for presale through ModalAI and is expected to be made available during Q4 2021. Perhaps starting 2022, we’ll see a bunch of these flying around our sky?

Galaxy Note III rumoured to use Youm

Image by CNET
Remember Samsung’s flexible OLED screen that was announced at CES 2013 under the name Youm? Well it seems like Samsung will be (finally) using the flexible OLED technology on its upcoming phablet device – the Galaxy Note III.

It surely is not a length news here but what does the flexibility mean to the users? Let’s just say now you don’t have to worry about your screen to crack from a fall – given that the phone chassis can actually support the components inside.
Of course this is just the most common thing that can already be seen as there are many more innovations that is made possible by this flexible OLED display technology that is yet to be discovered.
Check out the video about the Samsung’s Youm display below!

New ASUS VivoBook S14 & S15 comes with ScreenPad 2.0

ASUS has a slew of new laptops to commemorate their 30th anniversary and here, we have the brand new VivoBook series for both the S14 and S15 laptops. The VivoBook S14 and S15 now both also comes with ASUS ScreenPad 2.0 and color‑blocked designs.
Honestly, I saw the potential of the ASUS ScreenPad since its first generation of laptops from Computex last year. Now, ASUS is adding the ScreenPad 2.0 to their laptops. The S14 and S15 laptops also come with the ErgoLift hinge design that improves the typing experience even further.

The ScreenPad 2.0 on the VivoBook S14 and S15 has a 5.65-inch touchscreen. The ScreenPad 2.0, just like any other new ASUS laptops with this new technoogy, is powered by the ScreenXpert software. It also should be noted that the ScreenPad 2.0 is only available for the S432 and S532 models.
The new ASUS VivoBook S14 and S15 also comes with up to Intel Core i7 processor with NVIDIA GeForce MX250 GPU. It also comes with up to 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD.

With powerful hardware comes beautiful aesthetics as well. The new VivoBook S14 and VivoBook S15 now comes with a metal chassis in 5 different colors – Moss Green, Punk Pink, Cobalt Blue, Transparent Silver, and Gun Metal. Each of the colors come with complementing accents to make it pop even more.

Of course, not only that it has a beautiful aesthetic – the VivoBook S14 and VivoBook S15 both weighs at just 1.4kg and 1.8kg only. That is impressive.
The availability and price will be announced at a later date and we will update this page when we have more information.
