Jolla smartphone’s preorder fully booked

In case you didn’t know, there’s a new OS in town to compete with Google’s Android, Apple’s iOS and Windows called the Jolla Sailfish. The phone’s preorder was just closed not long ago as it is already fully booked! Yes, it is that fast!

The OS was first going to be used on Nokia phones, but instead the designer, Jolla Oy, started off on his own and made Jolla. The OS is based on MeeGo operating system, but then again it is only under the hood as the user interface is totally different from anything we’ve seen.
First, check out the interface of the phone below.

Pretty neat, and the Jolla OS is open source, just like Android. So, if you’re a developer, you can port the Jolla OS to work on virtually any other devices.
What appeals me is that the Jolla smartphone that is made by Jolla themselves showed something beyond basic customization – something very personalized even to the physical aspect, unlike Android which only lets you customize based on the home launchers and custom ROMs.
The next video showed us how the entire interface – colour scheme and its design – changes with the back coloured back cover. Fashionistas be happy with all the coloured back covers to match up your accessories or whatever it is that you match it with.

One thing though I’m not too sure about the Jolla OS is the interaction with the software pretty much needs the users to go through a very steep learning curve with all the gestures to get to the designated places and whatnot. Still, it is a very sleek operating system!
For more information about the Jolla device, check out their website below.

Apple’s proprietary smart watch arriving later this year

It’s been long speculated that Apple will release a smart watch for its iOS devices, given the largely unexplored potential on Android, which Apple can do better. Sources also said that “Apple has filed at least 79 patent applications that include the word “wrist,” including one for a device with a flexible screen, powered by kinetic energy.”
Leading designer is of course Jonathan Ive, who’s been designing most of the iconic Apple products and also the ever famous “Flowerpot design” for the iMac G4 alongside with Steve Jobs.

Can we actually see the iWatch by the end of the year? Maybe, but one can hope that it doesn’t get delayed further, as Steve Jobs would really want the product to be perfect before making its first debut. First impressions do matter a lot, don’t you think?

How “new” is the iOS 7?

It’s less than 24 hours which Apple finally showed itself to the world again in WWDC, only this time with a lot of changes in department leadership. Jonathan Ives, the famous product designer for Apple who contributed to the iMac’s sunflower design, took over the team for iOS design and ready for prime time.

Apple showed us how the new iOS 7 will be much better than the previous ones – in terms of efficiency, beauty and design. To sum it up, I quote Steve Jobs with his famous word, “amazing”.
Here I have a list of what major changes Apple did to its iOS, courtesy of Apple, and we’ll go and talk about it one by one, from top to bottom, left to right. If I ever did mention about Android, I’m referring to the vanilla Android, the Nexus one, where there are no customizations by any manufacturers. Pure Google experience, if I may.

Control Center
Oooooh! Finally Apple knew the problem with their iOS in terms of switching on and off WiFi, controlling volume and songs with the fastest speed. Truth to be told, it looks awfully lot like Android’s quick settings panel! Though only now, you get to control brightness, track seeking and also your volume with a slider. Also, you get quick buttons access for flashlight, timer, calculator and also camera.
I see this is actually a big plus, coming from an aged Android users.
Notification Center
Oh Apple, you cheeky little Apple. Do you really have to copy Android when it comes to this? I have to admit, the entire notification menu looks clean and sleek, though tabs for chronological sorting of notifications seems useless, at least in my opinion. I have to agree, this redesign is much more than crucial as their previous one was a total failure.
Multitasking
Say hello to WebOS! Matias Duarte’s Flash Cards design for WebOS when it came to multitasking is now redesigned to be a little HTC Sense-ish too. Another plus here though, is how a shortcut toolbar is present at the bottom of the multitasking screen. Making good use out of free space, aren’t they?

iTunes Radio
Nothing much to say here, it’s just another Spotify.
Photos
Finally, no more black background. A beautiful gallery app what looks like Apple’s famous photo management software, iPhoto. Also, they have multiple photo filters like Android does for your Instagram goodness (or horrifying your beautiful photos).
AirDrop
I guess this is a permanent solution by Apple for Android’s WiFi Direct? To share things after connecting to each other. One thing that I’m sure about Apple is how they’ll redesign the connection procedure AFTER the iPhone gets NFC, where you can just tap and connect. It’s a lot more faster than taping on AirDrop, right?
Camera
I’m actually impressed with their new interface. Clean, brightly coloured and distinctive. It looks as if the entire interface is on the photo itself! Then again, in terms of efficiency, we really can’t say anything for now yet.
Safari
Full screen browsing. Who doesn’t love it? I’m still in awe of the new, simple icon design where it just comprises of certain shapes under a single colour. There is a problem though, some icons are so confusing and incomprehensible that it takes quite a long time to figure out what it does.
Siri
A new, clean, white interface for Siri where it’s a little more user friendly by having animations of waves to indicate that Siri can hear you – or maybe the background noise. Results are shown in nearly full screen, making the content you want really bump out and distraction-free, at least on your phone.
Mail
Another one like Safari, clean icons with certain shapes and colour to indicate what it does. It looks clean, and indeed works well. There is nothing much to say here, but then again it’s really just beauty all over.
Weather
Here comes the great part – remember HTC’s Sense 3? You have the fancy weather animation when you unlock your phone, and if you enter the Weather app, you can see even more and fancier animations about the weather, like a wiper wiping your screen while it’s raining, or a bright sun with few clouds to show you it’s sunny. This is what Apple copied exactly. Well, except for the fancy phone unlock animation.
Messages
A very nice graphical revamp with the message bubble shadowing, lighting and 3D effect gone. Other than that, nothing much.
There, we have the entire list of what are the major changes in iOS 7. I’m still amazed by how beautiful the entire new iOS is, given that they finally put transparency to good use. The control bars at the bottom are transparent. Notification Center’s background is transparent. Control Center’s background is transparent. Heck, even the keyboard’s background is transparent, and I say it’s good! Really pops out on showing where my content ends, and what I’m missing out without even scrolling while typing halfway through.
Apple’s entirely new approach to icon design, dubbed the “flat icon design”, really dumped all the confusing shadowing and 3D effect of the icons which previous made the design a little too fancy. They also used a lot more whites than ever before – making a shift from their iOS silver/grey to transparencies and whites, and a little bit of flashy colour to really spice things up.
As I said, I,an Android user since Android 1.6 Éclair and still am one, thinks that the iOS 7 did a little mix and match of the best from all the available mobile systems in the market now. Stealing off Android’s efficiency, Windows Phone 8’s animations and Apple’s very own design beauty, with a touch of sleekness and integrity really made the iOS 7 stand out. In fact, I’m jealous of their new Control Center and Multitasking menu because of the row of shortcuts at the bottom. Oh, I forgot to mention how great it is to finally have a transparent control bar at the bottom and a transparent keyboard so that I won’t stop whining about how ugly the themes of SwiftKey X are.
I still think, iOS 7 is a great step forward for Apple, but competitors are already far ahead. It still lacks widgets, which is Android niche, so Android users won’t jump ship anytime soon. Custom ROMs on Android now offers customizable quick settings panel shortcuts, offering you tonnes of options to fulfil a complete 100% for user satisfaction. Then again – the clutter-less home screen on iOS makes sure that there are absolutely no repetition of apps and its shortcuts under the same screen.
iOS 7 will be released fall of 2013, which means you have to wait until then. Be patient. In my final conclusion, here’s what everyone thinks of the new Google Androi – oh, I mean Apple’s iOS 7.

OnePlus opens pre-order for an hour

I have been using a 16GB OnePlus One for some time now, and all I have to say about this phone are great things. Performance, battery life, screen, ergonomics, look, feel, everything! Especially for the price! Check out our review here!

Though the same cannot be said for its availability, as the OnePlus One is really scarce if you are not getting the China-imported version – which by the way works excellently in Malaysia. The international version is the one that can only be bought through their invites system, which you get support for all LTE bands and even a nice CyanogenMod logo printed at the back of your OnePlus One.

If that really matters to you, then be prepared this October 27th at 11pm! OnePlus will take pre-orders for an hour – that means the invite system will have to take a nap and everyone can pre-order a OnePlus One! There is no word on how long it will take for your OnePlus to arrive if you pre-ordered then, although I will predict that it will take at least two weeks to a month.
The OnePlus One price will still be the same, but all of the accessories will be sold at a discounted price – including their OnePlux x JBL earphones, the E1+. Getting it shipped to Malaysia however will be slightly above RM1,400 through courier hopping, but getting the phone with all LTE bands supported and with the official CyanogenMod logo? Sign me up – even I already got a OnePlus One myself.
Be sure to be camping over at the OnePlus Pre-Order Website this October 27th at 11pm! Oh – you can even add everything to your cart and have your shipping details prepared too, just pay when the time comes and you will secure yourself an international version of the OnePlus One – without waiting for an invite!

Kingston Encrypted USB Drives Complements GDPR Compliance

GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is the one big EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and also the European Economic Area. Even if your company is based in non-EU countries but worked with one organization that’s in EU, you’re affected. It’s a big step ahead to ensure that there are no misuse of personal data and users themselves have the right to take control of information about themselves. It affects companies and individuals alike – and these encrypted USB drives by Kingston can be the key component of the GDPR compliance, thanks to its encryption.
In lieu of all the GDPR panic that companies have to deal with, one way that these companies are preventing data from leaking or breached is by banning removable media outright. The reason is because of the “the possible financial and reputation damage from misplaced, lost, or misused removable portable storage devices must be minimized.”

To be honest, I worked with a company that banned removable media too. As USB drives aren’t allowed, hence it did affect the companies’ productivity and work efficiency is hindered. Without a direct removable media to just transfer files from one computer to another, that means we’ll have to find an alternative. Most of these alternatives are slow and cannot be copied off of a removable “master” drive.
In today’s workforce, removable media is really useful as our workforce revolves around it. For example:

Non-cloud storage: A mobile workforce may not have access to necessary files or ability to transfer files due to unreliable local “Free Wi-Fi,” network permissions or firewalls
Service Level Agreements (SLA): Servicing systems or helping customers with software deployment requires distributing patches via a USB drive
Remote data: Field research data collection from emergency response, scientific to military situations

And yes – I have no idea why removable media is banned but cloud storage is allowed. Think of it this way – I can still send files through messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram. Isn’t it more dangerous than a removable drive?
Also, imagine transferring 25GB of files through cloud storage to multiple computers. Wouldn’t a simple USB drive be much simpler?
For those who don’t plan to ban removable USB drives, then the solution is simple – get encrypted USB drives. Kingston has a few to offer.
The Solution: Encrypted Drives
Encryption is one of the most trustworthy means of protection, especially in cases involving confidential or sensitive data. Encrypted USB drives are security product solutions and an essential pillar of a comprehensive data loss-prevention (DLP) strategy. Experts say companies and organizations must insist employees use only encrypted USB drives, which combine the productivity advantages of allowing USB access while protecting the onboard information. Encrypted USB solutions are designed to protect even the most sensitive data, using the strictest security regulations and protocols.
Who puts a keypad on a USB stick??? Kingston of course, for you to key in your passcode.
Encrypted USB drives are powerful tools in closing security gaps. They help ensure security and compliance by offering:

Hardware-based AES-256bit Encryption in XTS mode
Anti-virus / malware protection
Ability to be managed remotely
TAA Compliant / FIPS Certified
Capacities ranging from 4GB to 128GB
Kingston’s customization program

You can take a look at Kingston’s IronKey, their series of encrypted USB drives, by visiting Kingston’s website.

WiSee Uses Wi-Fi To Control Household Devices With Body Gestures

Ever dreamed of just waving your hand to switch on the TV from the next room? Well, researchers at the University of Washington have successfully created a prototype of a system that uses Wi-Fi to detect gestures.

Since Wi-Fi signals are capable of passing through walls, WiSee can detect gestures made from neighbouring rooms. Besides that, with a Wi-Fi base station with multiple antennas and MIMO support would be able to distinguish between multiple humans.
WiSee doesn’t require an additional sensor, the software can theoretically be used with any Wi-Fi connected device and a router with multiple antennas to detect Doppler shifts created by movement.
The researches claim that:
The average accuracy is 94% with a standard deviation of 4.6% when classifying between our nine gestures.
Here is the short video for the WiSee:

With WiSee widely used in the near future, this will be very useful either in office or home. Just sitting there and wave your hand to switch on or off the electronic devices around! Then again, will this new technology just make humans lazier?

Samsung envisions a future where you slide your PC’s display around with their latest concept showcase

Intel’s biggest highlights a couple of days ago are none other than the 13th Gen Intel Core ‘Raptor Lake’ desktop CPU and Z790 chipset reveal. While a company has to do what it must to keep the business alive, at least no one expected they are having some fun with Samsung as the Korean electronic giant reveals a special “slidable PC” demo at the Innovation 2022 conference.

The bamboozle moment comes after the CEO of Samsung Display, JS Choi, joins Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and shows off something that is a long rectangular shape at first but slowly extends/expands/rolling out/sliding out, whatever you call it, into a nice “almost” perfect square form factor.
Calling it “The world’s 17-inch slidable OLED display for PCs globally”, it would be too far-fetched to assume that you could have a desktop PC display that just slides open like an unrolling magic scroll so what JS Choi is talking about is actually those 2-in-1 detachable laptops with a tablet-like shape such as the Microsoft Surface Go 3, for example.
As the prototype demo just shows what the fabrication technology is capable of churning out a finished product, no other info is actually revealed at that showcase like resolution, aspect ratio, PPI, brightness levels, durability test results – everything that a commercial product needs, which means that the slidable display is still within the trial and error phase.
Interestingly, the fact that Samsung chooses to enforce the ideology of slidable displays not onto smartphones but PCs could be a subtle hint of a clear distinction between families of products – one revolutionary tech for each.
And just from my curious self. It seems that you’ll need quite some force to slide the display but could be just me.

The Wiko T50 and T10 smartphone duo lands in Malaysia with super affordable price tag at RM899 and RM429

Just yesterday, Wiko Malaysia has officially launched the new T50 and T10 smartphones, signifying their ambitious return to the country.
Despite having less than average market attention in the past, Wiko is returning to our local market with a dedication to affordability and feature set. By aiming for both the entry-level and mid-low sections of the smartphone sector, they hope to stand out in Malaysia beginning this year.

For starters, the T50 is a “do all be all” device that comes with a relatively good set of hardware as it offers a decently large display and a well-balanced back camera combo. Adding a steady 40W fast charge and big battery powering an efficient chipset, one can safely utilize the device all day long with ease.

On the other hand, the T10 is purely coming in as a real budget device. Low-specced hardware and baseline features that a smartphone can be considered as a smartphone tagged with a ridiculously low price are what it is being marketed for. Well, it is perfect as a secondary unit used purely for communications though.
The spec sheet for them is down below.

Acer Malaysia is rounding up the year of 2021 with a couple of new acerpure air purifiers to give yourself and your loved ones a clean and safe especially during the endemic times.

One of the 2 introduced machines is the acerpure cool (C2) 2-in-1 device that comprises a top fan for circulation and a bottom filter for sucking and filtering things like allergens, dust, bacteria, and even some infectious pathogens like COVID-19 and H1N1 thanks to the 4-in-1 HEPA filter. It even has 4 levels of purifying speeds and is selectable via the control panel and by coupling with the scheduling function activatable through the acerpure Life Smart app, you can make sure that when you arrive home from a long day’s work, your house is gonna be refreshed as it can be. If you are worried about operating noise, it only runs at around 25dB while a quiet library for scale is at around 40, now you know.

For the acerpure pro (P2), it does most of the things exactly like the C2 despite lacking a circulation fan but of course, comes in at a lower price tag which is great for households that already have a whack ton of ceiling fans.
Price and Availability
The acerpure cool (C2) and pro (P2) are available for purchase at the price of RM1,599 and RM1,299 but only for a short period until December 14, those figures are down to RM1,299 and RM1,099 and additionally, there are PWP deals involving extra HEPA filters at RM99, extra value promotions for the old models of the acerpure cool can also be found through the links and platforms respectively.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car prototype

As we know that Google and Audi are also the companies that are developing autonomous vehicle technology – in layman’s terms, self-driving cars. Volvo however, is applying its to work in the area of a particular usage case: parking.
Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor Volvo Car Group says that:

Autonomous Parking is a concept technology that relieves the driver of the time-consuming task of finding a vacant parking space. The driver just drops the vehicle off at the entrance to the car park and picks it up in the same place later.
The most exciting about this new technology is that the driver uses a mobile phone application to activate the Autonomous Parking and then walks away from the car.
The vehicle uses sensors to localise and navigate to a free parking space. The procedure is reversed when the driver comes back to pick up the car. With the combination of autonomous driving with detection and auto-brake for other objects makes it more safe when it come to interact with other cars.
Here is the video of the self-parking car prototype:
[viddler id=6fcdb805 w=545 h=307]
As a summary, this Volvo prototype car (V40) with sensors, electronics and controls are seamlessly built, making the tech look production-ready, which I believe it will soon in the market in a few years time. Hopefully there are more and more of these amazing vehicles available in the market too!

Entry-level Huawei Y6p available for RM559 starting May 16

Huawei has announced the latest Huawei Y6p, an entry-level device packing tons of juice for long period usage. And as Hari Raya closes in, it would be a great gift for friends and family this year.
The specs are pretty basic for this entry-level device, equipped with usable hardware that at least does what a smartphone is supposed to do, justifying its cost at RM559.

6.3-inch IPS LCD display

720p resolution
Waterdrop notch

Mediatek Helio P22 chipset
Up to 4GB RAM
64GB storage
Quadruple rear-facing cameras

Main: 13MP f/1.8 with PDAF
Ultra-wide: 5MP f/2.2
Macro: 2MP f/2.4
Depth sensor

Single selfie cameras

Main: 8MP f/2.0

3.5mm headphone jack
5000mAh battery
Android 10 with EMUI 10.1
Blue, Green, Purple color

The catch of this device, however, is that it doesn’t come with Google Mobile Services so your only choice of getting apps is through Huawei’s own AppGallery. If you really can live without GMS and wants something that lasts long without breaking the bank and for someone like the kids, this would suit them surprisingly.
By the way, the Huawei Y5p is also available at RM359 and will be available for purchase at all Huawei Experience Stores, official retail stores, and Huawei’s online store from May 16 onwards.
To celebrate the upcoming Hari Raya festivities, Huawei is giving its AppGallery users a “Raya packet” where users can enjoy a 50% rebate when making certain In–App purchases on the Huawei AppGallery.
To find out more about the Huawei Y6p and Y5p, visit Huawei’s May Arrivals page for more info.

Samsung Galaxy A80 is the first rotating + popup triple camera phone

Samsung holds a lot of world’s firsts in their portfolio and today, their adding one more as the latest smartphone from them is the Galaxy A80. This is the first ever smartphone with a rotating + popup triple camera phone. This is also the first ever true full view display from Samsung – no notches and no cutouts.
The all new Galaxy A80 is Samsung’s first ever smartphone which they are moving away from the “era of selfie” to the “era of live” as in live videos. To get the best picture and video quality, the rear-facing cameras are always the better ones. Hence, Samsung just neglects the selfie camera entirely in favor of the rear-facing cameras.

Triple rear-facing cameras, to be exact. Samsung’s design here is by combining two different technologies – the top part pops out like the OPPO Find X, then rotates to the front – like the OPPO N1. By combining these two technologies, the Samsung Galaxy A80 is able to neglect the selfie camera entirely while keeping a very high screen-to-body ratio.
In terms of specs, the Galaxy A80 has:

6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 2400×1080 pixels in resolution

New Infinity display with no notch, no cutout

Octa-core (2x 2.2 GHz + 6x 1.7 GHz)
8GB RAM
128GB storage (no microSD card slot)
Triple rotating+popup cameras

Main: 48MP f/2.0 with PDAF
Ultrawide: 8MP f/2.2 fixed focus
3D TOF camera

3,700mAh battery with 25W fast charger
Android 9.0 Pie with Samsung One UI

From the specs alone, we can see that there are even more Samsung’s first in the Galaxy A80 itself. We have the first ever 48MP camera on a Samsung smartphone – which is a good change – and also 3D TOF camera. This 3D TOF camera can be used for laser autofocus as well, though it is not listed in Samsung’s specs list. We will have to try it for ourselves to know for sure.

As weird as it might seem, the Galaxy A80 does not have a 3.5mm audio jack. Samsung could have placed it at the bottom like any other Galaxy Note or Galaxy S smartphone, but they did not. It also does not have a microSD card slot which is weird.
The Galaxy A80 is certainly an interesting phone which I am honestly excited to get my hands on.
Currently, there are no pricing or availability date for the Galaxy A80 in Malaysia just yet. We will update this space when we have more information.

After weeks, here are my problems with Google Books Malaysia

For someone who does actually read books on mobile devices, I’ll first give you a high-5. I couldn’t be much happier to get the new Google Play update that finally brings Google’s bookstore right to our devices. Quickly, I thought. Launch the app now!

So I did. Right after I tapped the Agree button to agree with the new terms and conditions, there’s nothing but disappoint after that.
Here are some of the problems I came across the Play Books in Malaysia. Bear in mind that this is all from a personal level, so if I did in any way offend you, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
So here I am launching the app for the first time after the update. Excited, I explored around.

It surely felt welcoming that Google actually put in Malay words instead of English, since it is the Malaysia Play Books anyway. Also I noticed there’s a “Books” icon below “Apps”. Intuitively, tapping it will bring me to the bookstore right?

And I was correct. It did. Though it confuses me. The banner says Pilihan Penyunting, which translates to Editor’s Choice. I thought that the entire Malaysian Play Books was tailored in the Malay language, but when I saw the word FREE was in English, and the Top Book wasn’t translated, it pretty much disgusts me. I moved on ahead to have a look at the categories of books offered.

Wait – is it Sains & Matematika or Sains & Matematik?? Being a student that received early education in the Malay language, it stirred me up. There is also a doubt on the word they chose for Koleksi Fiksyen & Sastera which translates to Fiction & Literature Collection. Is the word Collection really needed?
Naturally, since Google launched Play Books in Malaysia, the web version of the Play Store is updated too. I hopped on to my laptop and then I discovered this.

It seems like the web version wasn’t well-translated as the in the home page, it’s in Malay. When you go in to the category, it goes all English.
Those are the tiny details though. Let’s get on to the main point – the selection of books offered. There are a lot of eccentric books which really piques my interest, but I thought that’s a tough test even for eBay. So I went on to find a well-known author’s work, Haruki Murakami – particularly, 1Q84.

The book is in Spanish, but it is offered in Malaysia. Also, this is only the first book of the trilogy, which was not stated clearly in the title too. Seriously, there is a bunch of books written by Haruki Murakami that’s not translated to English but available for the Malaysian Play Books. Some Korean, some are in French. That said, the second book of the trilogy of 1Q84 is missing from Play Books, but Book 1 & 3 is there. I’ll however still give them credit for having Chinese version of George Orwell’s 1984 available.
Nonetheless still, the selections are a little weak. I don’t actually know what Google is doing, but the famous book The Secret (which I hate a lot) isn’t available in the Play Books store. A book which caught my interest is Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon is actually available in the Malaysian Play Books, which really caught me by surprise. Some other eccentric books like the To Hell And Back trilogy was not available. Some even rarer books by Charles Saatchi or M&C Saatchi was only to be seen in Kinokuniya once by my own eyes.
I wouldn’t say that the Malaysian Play Books is horrible, but I’ll say that they’re not really that good. There certainly is room for improvement, particularly on the selection of books. The bilingual glitch is certainly an eyesore. Why can’t you just settle down on one language? Of course I can understand if you name the entire Malay or Chinese book category in their own respective mothertongue, but there’s no reason to use Pilihan Penyunting instead of Editor’s Choice on the main screen’s banner.
Oh, you can even upload your own ePub books on their server to sync across all your Android devices.

Surprise! Apple announces Self Service Repair; providing parts, tools, and manuals

No one expected Apple to do this. All of a sudden, Apple just announced that they’re providing the parts, tools, and manuals for self-repairs. All the effort to fight for the right to repair finally paid off – big time.
In Apple’s press release, the company is starting this self-service repair toolkit (I’m not sure if that’s the appropriate description) starting with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. And this toolkit is available to individuals like you and me. It’s first-hand genuine Apple parts and tools to do the repair on your own!

This toolkit is meant for those who are comfortable in repairing their own devices – and this initial phase of the program will focus on parts that commonly need replacing – like the display, battery (the most important), and camera. More parts will be added to this program next year.
While Apple only starts with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series of smartphones, the company also claims to expand to Macs with the M1 chips.
This Self Service Repair will be available early next year in the US and expand to additional countries throughout 2022. And Apple is also giving incentives to those that send in the broken parts for recycling too – by providing credit toward their purchase.

And I mean – wow. For Apple to do this is a huge step for everyone – including the environment. We can finally get parts on our own and replace it easily with genuine Apple parts. As the battery is always the first thing to die, I’m happy to see that Apple is providing an official DIY way to replace it.
In a way, I think that this is in line with Apple’s commitment to green technologies too. Given that Apple’s software support is superior to any other company out there in the world, we can finally just fix our existing devices and continue using them for as long as we want.
I think Apple is setting a great precedent here – and I’d like to see all other companies follow the same footsteps – all smartphone, tablets, and laptop companies.
As for Apple, time to give us user-upgradable RAM on the laptops instead of having soldered RAM.

Review – OPPO Reno5 5G: The premium mid-ranger

This is the OPPO Reno5 5G – and yes, that’s the official name of this phone but I’m just going to call it OPPO Reno5. And I think, we’re just gonna start and talk about this phone is a total of 6 different points, just like how we review other phones.
The OPPO Reno5. It was released a few weeks in Malaysia, actually.

Starting off, the design of this phone. It’s very thin, and I absolutely love holding this phone. It’s not that wide and the curvature of the back into the frame feels great. So my big hands can hold it comfortably.

But, the back – it’s totally glossy and attracts too many fingerprints, and also, the glass doesn’t really feel like glass.

And then, the camera cutout. It’s a pretty standard camera cutout design these days and it has a total of 4 cameras but only 3 of them are usable. I’m not going to go deep into the camera specs – but I also can’t talk about the cameras much since we can’t go out to take pics and videos with the whole virus situation going on.

Anyway, the main camera can take some fantastic pictures – even during a cloudy day. I absolutely love the colors and the clarity is quite good too. However, for certain shots, the dynamic range certainly needs some work since this shot, the bright sky looks good – but everything else is too dark.
The ultrawide angle camera is very noisy but the colors still look good. So, I think the ultrawide angle camera is… still decent.
Macro shots are meh.

The software doesn’t help the user to take a macro shot by having critical focus banding or anything similar.
It’s noisy and not really clear.
And its quite dark, honestly.

What about the performance?
It’s equipped with the Snapdragon 765G with 8GB RAM and also 128GB of storage. It’s not anything out of the ordinary, and you can see the benchmark scores here if you want to.

And since benchmarks don’t tell us the full story of how the chipset performs, we did a full video where we just play games using the Reno5. Check it out here.

Everything is shown on this 6.43-inch OLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution. Pretty decent display overall, but its 90Hz refresh rate is only usable for scrolling Facebook or something. Games do not run at 90Hz.
          90Hz works on Chrome, scrolling through settings, etc.            But 90Hz don’t work for games at all, even though these games are certified to run beyond 60Hz.
Also, the under display fingerprint scanner is placed waaaaaay at the bottom of the display. It just feels very weird ergonomically.

Powering all of this hardware is a relatively okay-sized 4,300mAh battery and it can last around 14 hours in 60Hz which is pretty standard.

As for the charger though, OPPO included a 65W charger inside the box – but it’s using SuperVOOC 2.0 protocol. That means we can’t use this charger to charge a laptop since it’s not using USB PD standard.

Software
And finally – the software.
It’s running ColorOS 11.1 now but I think over so many different versions that I’ve used, there are not that many changes honestly. I mean, the software is okay and it still works well, but there’s also nothing that accentuates my user experience of the OPPO Reno5.

Should you buy the OPPO Reno5 5G?
So, all in all, the price – at RM1,899 officially. And I’ll say this – it’s expensive. For what it has to offer, it’s just expensive. I mean, let’s talk about the alternatives – you can get the POCO F2 Pro or the Mi 10T Pro at around this price. Or maybe, fork out a bit more cash and get the Galaxy S20 FE 4G.
The OPPO Reno5 5G is still a good phone nonetheless, but not for the price.

Here’s how WiFi connection is tortured recently, according to OpenSignal

It is definitely good news that people around the world is taking COVID-19 seriously and sticks to any lockdowns or isolation made by their government. But more people indoors means a heck lot more WiFi connections to be served and with YouTube and Netflix cutting down bandwidth in order to serve all these requests, it’s safe to say that we’re trying not to overload our internet infrastructure.
Thanks to the people at OpenSignal, they have collected and tabulated a list of numbers that shows the change in time spent on WiFi. To find out the reason, we also cross-examined timelines with several news sites such as Business Insider and Al Jazeera.

Less mobile data, more WiFi at home

Countries that saw the largest jump during Week 12 are those who witnessed the severeness of the outbreak and lockdowns, movement restriction orders or national emergency is announced by leaders during Week 11 or 12.
Hong Kong is the only one that surges during Week 5 due to being physically closer to China. It is also the week where the 1st death is reported, therefore, a large number of indoor WiFi connections are detected and stays roughly the same until the end of March.
South Korea saw a decline starting in March due to being one of the earliest countries to suffer the outbreak. According to several Korean news programs and sites, it was reported that good weather and ambient temperature made quite a number of people venturing outside to get some fresh air.
For Italy, the escalation in confirmed cases during Week 9 is the reason behind the rise in number. Thailand and Egypt do not show signs of extreme bumps but steady growth as the public gains more awareness towards the outbreak.
Surprising slow WiFi causes! #4 will shock you – no, really.
With so many people staying at home right now, you might have experience disconnections or slowdown since the MCO has started or maybe even earlier. Many factors contribute more or less to this issue but the most common ones are the biggest offenders and we listed down a few starting from the largest factors to the lesser ones.
1. You (or the router) picked the wrong channel, fool
Hey, it’s me the User, chill! chill!
Not only there are 2 forms of frequencies that most modern WiFis operate within which are 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but there is also another property that needs to pay attention to which is WiFi Channels. Think of it as highway lanes for your data transfer. What happens when too many people use a particular route? It becomes clogged and overall moving speed will be reduced.
The easiest way to solve it is to just swap to another channel, even though routers have defaulted to Auto-Switching, they aren’t smart enough to do it on notice so manually adjusting them when you feel a sharp decrease in speed or packet loss is always the best time to do it. While some may argue that channels 1, 6, and 11 have bigger bandwidths, it is better to choose the one with the least traffic.
First off, use whatever WiFi Analyzer on your device and see which channel is the least used (Channel 3 for this case).

Next, proceed to access your router’s IP. This step a bit more advanced but highly recommended to do. For us, the IP address is 192.168.1.254 for the router model Archer C5v. Using a browser and log it in (Maxis login credentials default to “user” for username and password).

Select 1 of the 2 available frequencies and you will notice a Channel list for you to choose from. Select the one which is the best according to the analyzer app.
2. Dead Zones

Due to how each and every house is different in design, hollow parts between walls or ceilings are filled in order to gain stability for holding higher floors or the entire unit in general. When these fillings are thick enough to block most of the signal’s energy, users on the other side will experience frequent disconnections or low surfing speeds.
Try reseating the residential gateway a.k.a the router to either face another direction or move it to another room where signals could get through the dead zones to reach the other side. If you have money to spend, consider running signal repeaters or mesh networks to solve this problem if cables or ports are unremovable due to constraints.
Maybe it’s time to invest in a WiFi repeater.
3. Begone, obstructions
WiFi signals are a form of electromagnetic wave – or EM wave for short. Any metal in between your WiFi router’s antennas and your device will cause issues. For example, a friend of mine had WiFi issues because his desk was behind the living room TV. That TV has a large metal plate inside it, and that plate blocked his WiFi signal.
4. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Even though an obvious but sometimes reliable solution, it actually makes sense due to how updates are delivered to your home internet devices.
Usually, there will be a LED that flashes when updates are available and in process. On the other hand, certain components will reset back to the default state when they are restarted where there are few reasons that cause it to go haywire in the first place.
One of my past experiences is that random internet disconnections are fixed by restarting and receiving firmware updates while the other is the “supposed” delay of upgrading internet speed plans that will only be triggered when you cold reboot the modem and gateway.
Final Thoughts
With WiFi-6 products entering the consumer market promising ultra-high speeds rivaling ethernet cables and smart management of parameters, manufacturers are trying their best to cater user experience as best as they could for non-tech savvy users while growing performance to accommodate increased demand over time.
We have tried WiFi-6 previously, but that’s not today’s point.
What’s having my attention now is when will Li-Fi that runs within LED light bulbs and uses light beams instead of dedicated hardware gets adopted and mainstreamed in Malaysia. It is an interesting topic that rarely gets the spotlight which we may cover it if the opportunity arises.
For the time being, learn these tips provided by us so you don’t need to bother the next technician for half an hour just to do the same thing over the phone.

With innovations and advanced technology in today’s world to help make things easier, none of us should be held back by “ifs”, “buts”, or “maybes”. We should all have that burning spirit to achieve the impossible – and from here on out, it should be “yes”, “can”, and “Do What We Can’t”!”

To any guys who won the Moschino Red Bag, perhaps give it to your sister or mother or girlfriend. Maybe use it to store your powerbank and USB cables? Perhaps it’s a good pouch to store USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack dongles as well, since there are many phones that do not have audio jack these days.

Yoodo Telco Launched; Brings Customizable Plans

It’s been quite some time since a new telco enters the market – and here we have Yoodo. Yoodo is a new player in the market, but instead of offering the plans of the same caliber at different prices, Yoodo offers customization. You can literally customize your plan to whatever you want.

I’m pretty sure many of us tech-savvy people who are always on YouTube will have heard of the name “Ting” before. Yoodo offers a similar experience where you can customize your own plan down to how many minutes of calls you want, how many SMS you send, and how many gigabytes of data you use in a month. You can even top off additional data for social media if you wish to do so.

Customers can order a free SIM via the app or web and have the option of Standard Delivery (within 1 – 3 days) or Express Delivery where the SIM will be delivered within 2 hours. For Express delivery, RM15 will be charged and this is currently available only in the Klang Valley. Activation of the SIM is done via the app and users will self-authenticate their identity using their IC or passport and facial recognition. They will then have a free hand to customise their mobile plan.
Plans can be changed any time through the app with no fee charged, with the changes taking effect the following month.
The goal is to provide consumers with a simpler, clearer and better overall experience with
cutting-edge digital products and services. Simpler means there are fewer steps for sign up, changing plans, account inquiries, paying, disconnection and reconnection. Clearer means no hidden charges or contracts, with real-time usage information available through the mobile app. Better means it is more comprehensive, with near-immediate SIM delivery, online community support, number portability, roaming and Wi-Fi tethering all available at launch.
The Yoodo app is universally available for all Android and iOS devices.
Just get the app, and you can get started instantly!
Honestly speaking, what took us Malaysians so long to roll out something like what Ting has offered for years? Though, I am glad that we have customizable plans out in the market now. One thing’s for sure, the plans aren’t granular enough to the point where I can type in whatever amount I want to use in a month. For example, Yoodo only allows you to choose either 2GB or 5GB of data per month – but I can’t select 3GB per month.
Still, it’s a big step forward compared to what we have in the past. And hey – Yoodo is using Celcom’s network!
Have you switched to Yoodo yet?

WhatsApp releases self-destructive View Once feature in the name of privacy

The latest round of updates for WhatsApp see the application getting a pretty useful feature that sends messages that self-destruct after the first inspection.

As simple as it is, by enabling this feature WhatsApp essentially helps you delete the photos and videos in question after it was opened once by the recipient to keep sensitive data out of potentially suspicious (very sus indeed) people snooping around your device. In this way, you can basically create text messages in the form of an image file such as your Wi-Fi password or maybe your banking details to your loved ones in urgent cases and not worrying any of those getting leaked.
To get access and enable the View Once feature, simply update the app to the latest version through your respective App Store and Play Store services.
Finally, fewer chances for the gang to snoop around the chat history for counterarguments.

The realme X2 Pro will be available in only one configuration – 12GB RAM with 256GB of internal storage, which is exactly the same as the one as we reviewed. It also has the same specs – and the same price too.

The latter is the most important point here because realme Malaysia retained the same price despite being a special, limited edition variant of the realme X2 Pro. At RM2,399, you get this red color phone. This Red Brick variant is designed by Naoto Fukasawa, inspired by red bricks.

However, you need to act fast because there are only 50 units available in Malaysia.

So plan your trip earlier as you’ll have to run over to the realme booth (A003) at Comic Fiesta 2019.
If you’re whether to buy the realme X2 Pro or not, I suggest you watch our review here. It packs the latest and greatest hardware available for a smartphone – Snapdragon 855+ chipset with a 90Hz refresh rate, and yet packs in the fastest charger we’ve ever tested.

Once again, you’ll need to head over to Comic Fiesta 2019 this weekend and head over to realme’s booth (A003) as early as possible to get this realme X2 Pro Master Edition. Only 50 units are available in Malaysia.

OnePlus’s partnership with Hasselblad is a 3 year deal; More devices with Hasselblad Camera to come?

Today OnePLus is officially announcing a close partnership with Hasselblad that lasts for an initial 3 years.

First revealed through the leaked renders of the OnePlus 9, the company is finally going to take the serious route for its flagship models and equip them with world-class lenses and software after being “not so serious” by gaining a foothold in the mid to entry-level market despite backlash from its user base. On the other hand, Hasselblad has been an industry leader in the camera sector for a very long time with loads of experience and infrastructure ready to serve the mobile market.
Hasselblad will also be assisting OnePlus in software and algorithm optimizations such as color tuning and sensor calibration as starters with more to come in the future. As such, the OnePlus 9 will have the collaboration’s first solution equipped to it – the Natural Color Calibration profile that will be used as a base calibrating standard starting this generation. The Pro Mode in the camera function will be carrying the Hasselblad brand which provides additional adjustments and greater control over every bit of the photograph settings for fine-tuning with support of 12-bit RAW format for vivid colors and HDR that is greatly appreciated and a requirement for all professional use case.

Out of all of these collaborated efforts, OnePlus reportedly committed to a USD150 million investment for camera tech alone to really spice up its devices to become the apex of the smartphone world. Might be a good business strategy to let the pros handle what they’re best at instead of relying on self R&D which is time and capital consuming.

While the OnePlus 9 is definitely confirmed to feature the camera giant’s offerings, OnePlus also stated that future devices will also be included as well, so I guess the inevitable OnePlus 10 and 11 are given a verbal teaser in this context? But speaking of OnePlus 9, the global launch event is scheduled to be live-streamed on Facebook and Instagram at 10p.m March 23, Malaysia time and we’ll surely get some pricing info as well.
And lastly, will the Hasselblad co-created solution be integrated into OnePlus’s future mid-ranger and entry-level devices as well? Share your thoughts!

World’s first dual-lens CCTV cam EZVIZ C3X is now available at RM539

EZVIZ has announced the world’s first dual-lens security camera, the C3X that delivers authentic details in dark environments that win over any traditional CCTVs.

The key contribution to its highly efficient detection algorithm is deep learning by machine learning that recognizes many real-life objects and creatures. When they pass through a specific set of lines designated by the user, the camera will push real-time notifications that tell them what kind of moving objects has crossed it. A security trigger can be set to notify unwanted motion through the built-in strobe light and siren.
If users dislike the default siren audio cue, they can also use their own customized audio track to replace it. As a whole, the camera’s consistency and recognition accuracy are continuously updated and refined through regular firmware updates through the EZVIZ app.
Here are some of the more standard hardware specifications for a CCTV.

1080p full-HD video resolution
H.265 video compression technology
Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz band transmission
Dual antenna for stable wireless connections
IP67 dust-and-waterproof
On-board micro-SD card storage up to 256 GB
Simple management using the EZVIZ App

Where to Buy and How much
The EZVIZ C3X is priced at RM539 and can be found in physical distributor stores across shopping malls nationwide, or online via EZVIZ’s official Shopee and Lazada e-stores.

Putrajaya Corporation Is Now Equipped With Transcend DrivePro Body 52 Bodycam

Transcend Information, Inc. is proud to announce that officers of Putrajaya Corporation, local authority of Putrajaya, Malaysia will be equipped with the Transcend DrivePro Body 52. A total of 18 units of DrivePro Body 52 and 3 docking stations are presented to Putrajaya Corporation to provide support with detailed video evidence which will help to further improve its emergency services, professional safety and work efficiency.

Comprised of a main unit and a separated camera unit which can be securely mounted on uniforms or jackets, the DrivePro Body 52 is tailored for law enforcement, private security, and other professionals. It features a camera with a wide 130° field of view, a large f/1.8 aperture and a Sony image sensor for color-rich and high-resolution image even in low-light condition.

The DrivePro Body 52 is built with IPX4 rated, which allow it to withstand extreme weather and conditions. It is also powered by a built-in Li-Polymer battery that enables up to 3.5 hours of 1080p full HD video recording on a single full charge. Other than recording video, the DrivePro Body 52 has a quick snapshot button which allows users to take photos while recording video footages simultaneously. This makes the DrivePro Body 52 an excellent choice for outdoor recording.
As some individuals can turn aggressive upon confrontation, using a visible camera or smartphone to gather evidence during incident can be rather inefficient and ineffective. Transcend’s DrivePro Body 52 has a concealed design which is less visible to the sight, which fit for the job. Photos and video footages can be recorded without being noticed during confrontation, making evidence gathering a lot easier for the officers on duty.
Putrajaya Corporation is currently the first local enforcement team in Malaysia to be deployed with Trascend’s DrivePro Body 52. We’ll be going through a 3-month trial and I am very looking forward for the positive outcome. There are actually other enforcement department that is interested in deploying the Trascend’s DrivePro Body 52 for their operation as well, if the result is good.
– Mr. Noor Azhar Zainal, Senior Assistant Director of Putrajaya Corporation.

The 18 units of DrivePro Body 52 body cameras presented to Putrajaya Corporation (PjC) or Perbadanan Putrajaya (PPj),  will be supplied to officers on duty to assist them in gathering video evidence should the need arise. The photos and video recordings can be managed directly from the headquarters with the 3 docking station included, allowing up to 6 DrivePro Body 52 to be docked for charging and automatically backup a copy of photos and recording to the main computer.

Realme Launches Realme 2 Pro; Realme 2; Realme C1

Ever since the first announcement of Realme to arrive in Southeast Asia about two months ago, we waited patiently for it. And now, Realme is now officially in Malaysia with the grand launching of the Realme 2 Pro, Realme 2, and also the Realme C1.
Realme is focusing on the youths of today as its mantra is “Power Meets Style” and also “Proud To Be Young”. Of course, that means Realme have to bring smartphones at an affordable price. We’ve talked about these smartphones a little in the past here, but let’s refresh everyone’s memory here because these Realme smartphones are really great for its value.

Realme 2 Pro

The Realme 2 Pro is the company’s smartphone with the highest specs, and it has a very nice design as well.

6.3-inch waterdrop notch design with 2340×1080 pixels in resolution
Snapdragon 660 AIE chipset
Up to 8GB RAM
Up to 128GB internal storage
Dual rear-facing cameras

16MP f/1.7 main camera
2MP depth sensor

16MP f/2.0 selfie camera
ColorOS 5.2 with Android 8.1 Oreo
3,500mAh battery

On paper, the specs of the Realme 2 Pro is actually pretty good. We’ve reviewed other smartphones that uses the Snapdragon 660 chipset before, like the Mi A2 and also the Nokia 7 Plus.

It’s also available in Black Sea and Ice Lake colors and available in a total of 3 variants:

4GB RAM + 64GB storage – RM849
6GB RAM + 64GB storage – RM949
8GB RAM + 128GB storage – RM1,099

But that’s not all – the Realme 2 Pro will only be exclusively available at Shopee and they’re having another big sale this 11.11 as well – and further discounts for the Realme 2 Pro:

4GB RAM + 64GB storage – RM799
6GB RAM + 64GB storage – RM899
8GB RAM + 128GB storage – RM999

Realme 2

Here we have something that’s a little lower in specs. Here’s what you can expect from the Realme 2:

6.2-inch notched display with 1520×720 pixels in resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset
Dual rear-fcaing cameras

13MP f/2.2 + 2MP depth sensor

8MP f/2.2 selfie camera
Up to 4GB RAM
Up to 64GB internal storage (expandable with microSD)
ColorOS 5.1 with Android 8.1 Oreo
4,230mAh battery

From our experience with the Snapdragon 450 chipset on the Galaxy Tab A 10.5, it’s not really that suitable for gaming – but perfectly fine for day-to-day social media and messaging use.

The Realme 2 is available in Diamond Red and Diamond Black color options. This beautiful design is actually from the limited edition OPPO F7. It’s really unique, to be honest.

 View this post on Instagram

 Look, the #Realme2 diamond cut back is just beautiful. Available in black and red colors. #Realme #ProudToBeYoung #powermeetsstyle
A post shared by  Nasi Lemak Tech (@nasilemaktech) on Nov 7, 2018 at 12:42am PST

The Realme 2 will be available starting 24th November at Vivid Concepts, Mobile2Go, 7Mobile, and also DirectD. It’ll be available in two variants and two prices:

3GB RAM + 32GB storage – RM599
4GB RAM + 64GB storage – RM699

Realme C1

For the most affordable option, we have the Realme C1. This smartphone comes with these specs:

6.2-inch notched display with 1520×720 pixels in resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset
2GB RAM
16GB internal storage (expandable with microSD)
Dual rear-facing cameras

13MP f/2.2 + 2MP depth sensor

5MP f/2.2 selfie camera
4,230mAh battery
ColorOS 5.1 with Android 8.1 Oreo

The core specs of the Realme C1 and the Realme 2 is actually quite similar – however, when we look at the cameras, there are quite a lot of differences. Also, the amount of RAM is different as the Realme C1 only has 2GB of RAM.
We actually think that the Realme C1 is good for the older folks who wants a smartphone to keep in touch with friends and family via social media and messaging apps.
For the price of just RM499, the Realme C1 is a really affordable phone.
Best yet, the Realme C1 will be exclusively available on Lazada only for RM399. This promotion lasts from 22nd November to 22nd December!

New Logitech MX Mice Comes With Logitech Flow

Finally – Logitech is giving a name for their iconic feature of multi-device peripheral – but not in the way that we have seen before. We first saw it a few years back with the MX Anywhere 2 that we reviewed here, and I have to say – that mouse is bae but not the most elegant solution for multi-device connection. Now they’re back with the brand new Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S – and they both have the new multi-connection feature that is now called the Logitech Flow.
Let me explain Logitech Flow first. It’s pretty simple, and if you know Symless’s Synergy software, then you pretty much know what’s Logitech Flow is about. Just install the Logitech Flow app on each of your computer that’s connected to the same network, and you’re done.

You can then move your mouse and keyboard across computers like they’re connected together. Pretty neat!

Logitech MX Master 2S
Ah, the icon returns with a familiar shape.

This is more of an update rather than a completely new mouse. As we all have heard, the MX Master is one of the best mice by Logitech – ever. Now, they’ve updated it with a few notable features like the all new Logitech Flow, Darkfield high-precision tracking, and the friction-free scroll wheel.

The MX Master 2S is priced at RM449.

Logitech MX Anywhere 2S
I liked the original MX Anywhere 2 mouse. It’s a fantastic portable mouse with superb battery life and magnificent features built into it. Now with the new MX Anywhere 2S, it has been updated with pretty much the same features as the MX Master 2S, but in a different shape.

It still has the Logitech Flow, Darkfield high-precision tracking, and the friction-free scroll wheel. Logitech even claims that you can have enough power for a day’s use with just 3 minutes of charging!

The MX Anywhere 2S is priced at RM339, and I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!

Review – Xiaomi Mi Band 6: The new fitness band champion

Xiaomi has been releasing fitness bands to the market at an affordable price for many years now. The Mi Band series has been getting upgrades throughout the years – and now we’re at the 6th iteration of the Mi Band. So, let’s take a look at it today. On weekends though, I get far fewer notifications and hence the battery life should match the advertised 14-day.

As for the charging cable, it has evolved to this proprietary magnetic puck that snaps in only one direction, which is a big upgrade over the older generations of Mi Band that requires the entire band to be taken apart to charge.

Speaking of that, the strap can also be swapped – just like before.
And also, we need to talk about the app. Surprisingly, the Mi Band 6 can be connected via two different apps. The old Mi Fit app still works with the new Mi Band 6, whereby the new Xiaomi Wear app can also be used to connect to the Mi Band 6 as well.
Obviously, I chose the new Xiaomi Wear app as it has a new cleaner interface.

Should you buy the Xiaomi Mi Band 6?
The Mi Band 6 is obviously something that I truly like. The price is officially at RM189, but from what I can find – we can get it for about RM165-ish from Shopee or Lazada, depending on which seller we’re buying it from.

More details of the phone will be revealed at 1PM US Eastern Time today (1AM GMT+8, 5 April).
