Review & Comparison – Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card

Recently, we needed an SD card. We ended up buying two Lexar 128GB Professional 1667x SD cards instead. now, we have another one – the Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card. Yeah, that’s the official name and it’s a mouthful. I’m just going to call this the Lexar 2000x card.
Now, our test here is going to be simple – a comparison between the two and see what’s the difference and why the 2000x is tiered higher than the 1667x card.

The unboxing
The entire SD card is packaged like this. It’s simple, and it has all of the details that you need. Most notably, this SD card can go up to 300MB/s read and 260MB/s write – as claimed by Lexar.

Then, we took out the SD card and it has a very nice golden sticker on it. That golden part is the differentiator between the 2000x and 1667x SD cards.

Benchmarks
We did two sets of benchmarks. The first one is with the famous CrystalDiskMark with all settings in default. Through this test, we can see that both these cards have more or less the same sequential read speed, but the write speed on the 2000x is a lot better.
          1667x            2000x
Then, we also did another benchmark using my M1 Pro MacBook Pro. Our tool of choice is the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test app. We also set the file size to 5GB – the highest possible – because video file formats can easily hit multiple gigabytes per file – so that 5GB file size is meant to simulate that.

From there, we can see that the read speeds remain more or less the same, but the write speed tanks on both SD cards. However, the 2000x is about double the write speed of the 1667x.
          1667x            2000x
Should you buy the Lexar 128GB Professional 2000x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card?
Clearly, the 2000x SD card is a lot better – but as we’ve shown in our benchmarks, the read speeds remain more or less the same between the two but the write speed is the main difference.
If you record videos at 4K resolution – be it 30fps or 60fps – or even 8K resolution, then you’ll need the higher-speed Lexar 2000x Gold SD card. You can even record at higher bitrates too, and the SD card can handle it because of its fast write speeds.

The price of this card though, is quite high. It’s priced at USD $169.99 or RM724.90. It surely is expensive but the performance speaks for itself.
Moreover, Lexar also promised that the card is rigorously tested through their own Lexar Quality Labs that tests for performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability. I can tell you that we have two Lexar 1667x 128GB SD cards and both of them have been in service for about a year and they’ve gone through lots of read-write cycles, and still functioning like new.
And hey – it comes with lifetime warranty too!

BenQ Malaysia launches the new mini portable projector GV11 for your movies craves anytime, anywhere

BenQ Malaysia is bringing in the brother of the GV30 mini LED projector which is the GV11 which tilts towards the side of affordability than the former for a lower entry barrier of big screens everywhere you go.

Releasing the exact same vibe as the GV30, the GV11 can be said as a lower tier of the GV30 because it is almost the same but not quite. For one, the GV11’s side harness utilizes a horizontal stripe design instead of the circle grill. Other than that, the projection angle is slightly lower for the GV11 too.
Performance-wise, the resolution it targets is actually 480p which explains why it is much cheaper and the lumens scale is only at 200lm instead of the GV30’s 300lm. All in all, you may treat it as a much more affordable version when the GV30 if it is over your budget or simply is just too much for your usage.

So the GV11 is basically a scaled-down version that still obeys the law of “You Pay What You Get” which I think is a nice way of letting more people get into the portable projector scene without overkilling their wallets. Since it has built-in Android TV and speakers as well, the entire unit is all you need for an outdoor movie session.
Price
At RM1,949, the BenQ GV11 is now available for purchase on the brand’s official Shopee and Lazada stores but for a limited time, key in the following code ‘BENQGV11’ during checkout and enjoy a quick price slash to RM1,799.
But the promotion is only valid across the month of November 2022 so don’t drag too long as an early Christmas gift shouldn’t be a problem. Enjoy free shipping along the way as well!

Scammers are going further and beyond by buying ad spots on Google Search to disguise as legitimate Whatsapp Web

Another month, another wave of Whatsapp phish returns in the form of Google Search results. Yes, they are now closer than ever.
Credits: TechNave CN
According to TechNave CN, they have observed that by googling Whatsapp, the very first result typically appears before the actual results due to sponsored spots is occupied by, at least from the surface, Whatsapp.

Credits: TechNave CN
However, the URL for the site is actually “https://www.whatisupcom.com” but for the non-wary, the design and the layout almost mimic the original perfectly and it might convince people to install Whatsapp through the malicious link and not through the proper platform, thus leaking personal information in the end.
Credits: HKEPC
On the other hand, Hong Kong based HKEPC posted on their Facebook warning followers about the same topic but with a different URL as in “https://www.whatsapag.com” and it is made to look like Whatsapp Web to the point where some people may just straight up scan the QR code on the screen and not realize they might have compromised themselves.
However, as the time of writing, perhaps Google might have found out about the suspicious act and proceed to remove these sponsored results and from the looks of it, only those who are googling in either Simplified Chinese or perhaps Traditional Chinese will get the fake results whereas the English group are as normal as it can be.
From the looks of it, it might be one of the attempts in social engineering attacks where only the Chinese locale was targeted for whatever reason and as long as it can pull in sensitive information without much effort, hackers will definitely do whatever it takes to drive you into spilling all the secret sauce.
Just like this guy right here.

An Indian number informing me there’s a free job in Shopee Malaysia and I need to contact a Malaysian number eh.
Try harder Jonak.

ShopBack app now available!

Who would like to have their stuff to be a little cheaper? We personally worked with ShopBack before, and I think it’s high time that they’re finally get their big break with their brand new mobile app.
ShopBack is totally legit too. They’re absolutely transparent about how it works. First, you buy something from a merchant that ShopBack has partnered with – and they get a commission from it. After that, they give back to you the customer. That’s where you get the term cashback.

They have way too many partners at this point, and  you’re pretty much going to get your cash back while if you used ShopBack. They are completely honest and really open about how they grow, how they earn, and their overall statistics. Check it out here.

In conjunction with the release of ShopBack mobile app, the Cashback platform will reward every shopper with an extra RM5 when they make a purchase at any of the 500 over partner stores via its app from 19-21 July 2016. In addition, 11 e-retailers such as Agoda, Foodpanda, Groupon, Hermo, Lazada, Qoo10, Zalora, etc will also join the celebration by giving away upsized Cashback, RM10 low price deals, RM5-RM20 off vouchers, as well as 40% discount promo codes.

ASUS’s latest rugged educational laptop BR1102 series starts from RM2,099 in Malaysia

ASUS Malaysia has brought in a piece of good news for fellow educators as they announced the general availability of the new BR1102 series rugged laptops made for K-12 students.

Coming in flavors of the traditional clamshell design BR1102C and 360-degree screen-capable BR1102F, both of them are great for classrooms and families with children that just like to run around and maybe break things in the process.
Armed with 4x exterior edges protected by tough rubber bumper, these laptops can tank a simple drop with no problem thanks to mainly the tough military-grade materials used to build the chassis.
The smooth, fingerprint-resistant finish keeps the unit from smudges all day while the spillproof keyboard can continue to function even in the event of liquid intrusion where cutouts are created just for draining purposes.

It continues the good tradition of having Antimicrobial Guard to inhibit bacteria growth thus keeping the little ones healthy.
As for hardware, it packs an Intel Processor N100 which is not that strong but super good for battery life where the laptop can operate up to 12 hours off a single full charge. Other than that, the full-function USB-C makes sure files can be transferred quickly.
Modern protocols and features such as Bluetooth 5 and WiFi 5 are not too shabby either. Need to hop onto a call? The AI noise-cancellation microphone removes unwanted cues so you can speak freely and clearly.

Lastly, both models are created with an easy maintenance routine in mind where technicians can quickly upgrade or troubleshoot anything involving opening up the laptop.
Heck, if you’re skilled enough you can do so yourself too.
However, since this is an educational device, ASUS will be providing these aftersales services as part of the program on request.
Price and Availability
The ASUS BR1102C is priced at RM2,099 while the flippable model BR1102F is at RM2,399 instead.
Both come with 1-year on-site service coverage for worry-free and mindless operation.

Honor 8 Is A Majestically Powerful Beast

There comes a time when product design has only two aspects. It’s either form, or function. Every once in a while, there’s a product that balances both aspect. There wasn’t any product that I know of that went beyond people’s expectation in terms of form and function together. I think the Honor 8 is the first smartphone to blow people’s minds.
We’ve seen many smartphones with metal or glass, but nothing alike the Honor 8. Look at this.

Simply gorgeous. It has 2.5D glass at the front and back, making the entire smartphone feels like it’s wrapped within the metal. Honor knows the current rumour that everyone is seeking for a blue coloured smartphone these days, and they actually delivered it with specs way ahead of its competitors.

As far as we know, the Honor 8 features dual 12MP rear-camera – alike its sibling the Huawei P9. As far as we know now, the dual-camera system here works very similar to the Huawei P9 too, and there’s zero camera protrusion. Just one big piece of glass, covering the entire back of the Honor 8 and the cameras. Real slick design. The front-facing selfie camera isn’t neglected too, as it features an 8MP sensor with flash.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
In terms of specs, we know that the Honor 8 sports a 1080p 5.2-inch screen with HiSilicon Kirin 950 chipset, featuring octa-core processors too. Paired with 4GB of RAM and 3,000mAh battery, it’s going to be one tough smartphone to dethrone, as it costs only $399.99 USD. Roughly translates to about ~RM1606.20.
There’s no official pricing or availability of the Honor 8 in Malaysia yet, but damn, I personally think it’s a fantastic deal.
Check out the Honor’s official website for more details. Better don’t miss their once-in-a-lifetime deal for the Honor 8!

[UPDATE] The new iPhone SE 2020 is brilliant; starts at RM1,999

There were leaks and rumors of the new iPhone SE for quite a long time. All of a sudden, Apple just dropped the new iPhone SE 2020 on their website – and you can already buy it now. It seems to be out of stock already, though.
That’s no surprise since the new iPhone SE 2020 is starting at the price of RM1,999 only. Seriously – it feels like Apple is trolling every single smartphone brand in the market right now. We’re living in a time where there’s a new iPhone with the latest A13 Bionic chip priced lower than the former flagship killer OnePlus 8.

The iPhone SE 2020 is taking the older iPhone chassis but packed with the latest core specs from the iPhone 11. I’m sure many users are complaining about its screen size, though. The iPhone SE 2020 has a 4.7-inch screen with 1334×750 pixels in resolution. It’s also using the pre-notch screens, so its bezels are also rather huge.

With those huge bezels means that Touch ID is back as well.

[UPDATED] NM Card – Here’s What You Need To Know

Let’s talk about a new form of memory expansion cards – the NM card from Huawei. Huawei introduced this brand new standard of memory cards for the Mate 20 series of smartphones. The NM card is a bold move from Huawei, and many people seem to be skeptical about it. We understand why – and we’re going to talk about NM cards here.
Here are few things you need to know about NM cards – which are only used in the Huawei Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, and Mate 20 X for now.

What exactly is NM card?
NM card, or Nano Memory card as Huawei calls it, is a brand new form factor of expandable storage cards. They’ve compared it with microSD cards, which was announced in the year 2005, was compared heavily with the NM cards.
Photo from The Verge.
The new NM cards are in fact, smaller than a microSD card and shaped like a nano SIM card. Actually, you can get confused between NM cards and nano SIM cards because they have the same size and and also similar-looking golden pads.

Compared to a microSD though, there are quite a few major differences. Firstly being the size – obviously. The microSD card is 15mm×11mm×1mm in dimension, and has a slight tapering at the connector side. The NM card however, is 12.3mm×8mm×0.67mm in dimension – again, same as the nano SIM size.

Second difference is where the connectors are located. MicroSD cards has its connectors placed at the edge of the tapered end, whereas NM cards has the entire surface covered in gold pads as connectors.
What’s the benefit of NM cards over microSD?
From an engineering perspective, the new NM card’s main focus isn’t particularly about the card’s size, but how the card connectors are shaped. Instead of protruding the entire card lengthwise into the phone itself, the NM card can be placed underneath the SD card.
A new approach to how dual-SIM phones work. Photo from The Verge.
Since the NM card can be slotted under the nano SIM, that means you’ll have much more space inside the phone for other components – like a bigger battery – and what’s the Mate 20 series has.
Is the NM card faster than microSD?
As of now, we still don’t have any benchmarks of NM card’s speed. From all of the renders that was shown – even the one shown during Mate 20’s launch in London – displayed a big “90MB/s” on the card. We can only assume that the 90MB/s here means that its sequential read speed peaks at 90MB/s – which is actually very common among microSD cards these days.

However, we do not have any information about its sequential write speeds or the random 4K read/write speeds, which determines how fast data can be access when scattered around. This is particularly important for cases like when we open up the photo gallery app and it has 500 pictures inside.
The price of the NM card?
Here’s a tough question to answer. Specifically for Malaysia, we’ll have the 128GB NM card available starting 15th November 2018, and the price is at a hefty RM298.
Yes, that is the official price of the NM card. We know what you’re thinking – calm down and let’s take a step back first.
128GB MicroSD cards with up to 100MB/s read speed and up to 90MB/s write speed costs less than RM128 – which means it’s cheaper than RM1 per gigabyte. You can opt for slower microSD cards for even cheaper price too.
This TEAMGROUP GO Card UHS-I U3 MicroSD card can actually go up to 90MB/s sequential read speed and 45MB/s sequential write speed.
Is NM card going to be the future?
Maybe not. The ubiquity of SD cards and microSD is dominating the market – ranging from all sorts of cameras to phones, development kits like Raspberry Pi, game consoles, and many more. Plus, microSD cards can use an adapter and become a full-sized SD card instead.
Only the Mate 20 series of smartphone uses NM card now.
We can’t predict the future of NM cards now, but if the this standard isn’t adopted by other brands in their products, then NM card will be left in obscurity. This is obviously the biggest challenge that Huawei has to overcome if they want NM card to be successful.
If NM card becomes widely accepted, the prices of these cards will be lower as supply has increased.
What about NM card readers? There are none as of now. If your Mate 20 breaks and you have important data inside your NM card, then there’s no way for you to ever retrieve the data. The only way you can access those data again is that you buy another smartphone from the Mate 20 series that uses NM card.
Yes – that means the cheapest NM card reader now is the Mate 20, and it will cost you RM2,799. Ouch.

UPDATE: Huawei is now selling NM card reader too!
Yeah, believe it or not – Huawei actually has NM card readers for sale as well. The price of it though, is quite ridiculous and limited in functionality as well. for RM98, you can read microSD and NM cards. It has both USB-A and USB-C headers, but we cannot confirm if it runs on USB 3.0 speeds since Huawei did not disclose this information.

Seriously though, RM98 for a card reader? You can get some USB 3.0 card reader that reads multiple types of cards plus USB hubs for a much lower price! Or an even better better combo here!
If you really need the Huawei NM card reader, click here to head over to Lazada to buy now.

We did a little poll – and it seems like many people are still not ready to move away from microSD cards at all.

TikTok added tools to help control toxic comments within its platform

TikTok has enabled a feature that allows creators to bulk delete comments or report users up to 100 submissions per batch.

To continue promoting a peaceful environment within the platform, TikTok is allowing creators to take matters into their own hands by removing comments or contents that have been attached to their uploads through a more seamless experience. They can also report them to TikTok to determine whether the commentator’s action goes against the Community Guidelines.
The feature is currently rolling out globally over the course of the coming weeks and to make matters more important, TikTok’s internal Trust and Safety Team is under training to improve tools to protect user experience on the platform through the recent partnership with Trust and Safety Professional Association (TSPA).
Nice to see TikTok is doing something to curb online toxicity and with that being said, keep this kind of action to your own social circle is plenty enough. We don’t need hurtful comments publicly displayed for all to see.

Eatigo Receives Follow-On Investment With TripAdvisor

Eatigo is a restaurant reservation platform in Southeast Asia. It has received a follow-on investment from its existing strategic investor, TripAdvisor, bringing its total raise across all its investors to date to over US$25M.
On the heels of a successful entry into Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and India in 2017, Eatigo will use the funds to launch in several more markets and extend its product offering. Over the past year, the company has grown rapidly to claim a leading position in every market it operates in.

Eatigo is excited to continue its strong relationship and collaboration with TripAdvisor. These new funds will be integral in allowing Eatigo to consolidate and extend the reach of our leadership and expertise in helping customers reserve the perfect table.
– Michael Cluzel, CEO and Co-founder of Eatigo
Eatigo operates in 6 countries, has over 4 million users, and offers the largest inventory of discounted restaurants offers in the region with over 4,000 restaurant partners, from upscale hotels and fine-dining establishments to popular restaurant chains and neighborhood budget eateries.
TripAdvisor Restaurants was established to better support the needs of diners and the 4.6 million restaurants listed on the travel site. TripAdvisor’s 2014 acquisition of its subsidiary, TheFork, provided the ideal complement to the site’s millions of restaurant listings by positioning it as an immediate online reservations leader in the dining and hospitality industry. Today, TheFork operates out of 11 countries globally and supports reservation services for more than 50,000 restaurants. In the Asia Pacific region, TheFork operates the Dimmi brand in Australia.
As we look to further our presence in the Asia Pacific region, we believe our latest strategic investment in Eatigo will continue to support a great business and strong management team. TripAdvisor’s continued partnership with Eatigo will help us both better serve millions of diners and restaurant owners who are increasingly turning to online channels.
– Bertrand Jelensperger, senior vice president of TripAdvisor Restaurants and founder of TheFork
It only makes sense for TripAdvisor to continue their investment in Eatigo. While tourists can have a look at all the reviews of restaurants, why not make a reservation with the same app too?

NVIDIA enables ray-tracing for *most* GTX cards with 425.31 driver update

If you want to have fun with real-time ray-tracing in games – a feature that is exclusive only on RTX 20-series cards thus far – then this is good news for you. The brand new NVIDIA driver update with version number 425.31 enables real-time ray-tracing for most GTX cards. We have talked about real-time ray-tracing here previously.
This new driver version enables some existing Pascal cards and also the GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti to run real-time ray-tracing as well. This list of graphic cards does not have dedicated RT cores, hence its ray-tracing capability is limited. Whichever the case may be, these cards can do some real-time ray-tracing after this driver update:

Pascal architecture

GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1070 Ti
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
NVIDIA TITAN X (2016)
NVIDIA TITAN Xp (2017)

Turing architecture

GeForce GTX 1660
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Existing RTX 20-series GPUs (obviously)

Laptops which are running the mobile version (or Max-Q) counterparts of these GPUs are also capable of whipping out some real-time ray-traced lights after installing the latest update.
NVIDIA also highlighted that there are 4 different types of workloads for ray-tracing – ambient occlusion, shadows, reflections, and global illumination. These different workloads put a different amount of load on your GPU, hence some ray-tracing techniques are much more lightweight compared to the others.

To further understand these types of reflections, here are some animations.

To put things in perspective, NVIDIA has mentioned that these GPUs are mostly only going to be capable of real-time ray-tracing with playable frame rates at 1080p resolution. The lower-tiered GPUs might need to tune down from ultra settings too.
NVIDIA also provided some benchmarks of their own to compare and contrast the performance difference in the presence of dedicated RT cores. With ray-tracing enabled, even the RTX 2060 can outperform the GTX 1080 Ti. Do take note that these benchmarks are running at 1440p.

Want to try ray-tracing with your GPU now? You’re in luck! Make your way to GeForce Experience now and download the latest driver with version 425.31 and you can try it out for yourself right now.

Dell Technologies to team up with Citizens of The Great Barrier Reef to protect the deep sea rocks with the help of machine learning

Dell Technologies is expanding its expertise into doing some environmental protection jobs where they are venturing into the deep sea this time around.
Image by Harriet Spark at Grumpy Turtle Creative
The partner they are teaming up with is the Australia-based conservation organization Citizens of The Great Barrier Reef with the tech company supplying both necessary hardware and software to more quickly and accurately analyze reconnaissance images collected from the Great Barrier Reef during the next phase of the Great Reef Census (GRC).

Specifically compared to the older times when around 13,000 images took 1,516 hours to review, by using the power of deep learning analysis, the task can be shortened to less than 200 hours – a major improvement in efficiency.
With such an immense increase in the speed of getting the job done, Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef founder Andy Ridley hopes that by enabling Dell’s repeatable and scalable edge solution and deep learning model, other parts of the world can benefit from this cause as well.
As a matter of fact, the first trial sites outside Australia will be our neighbor Indonesia.
The initiative was launched to strive for Dell Technologies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ambitions to advance sustainability, by creating technology that drives progress and working with customers, partners, suppliers, and communities to enable climate action. By using the company’s world-class edge solution deployed on watercraft, the process of image analysis can be sped up while the power of machine learning will help human users determine the status of the reefs.

Samsung has something coming this MWC 2022

Each year, we have the MWC event – also known as Mobile World Congress. It has evolved into a platform for smartphone brands to show off their latest and greatest. Some brands announce their new flagships in that event, whereby some are there because of FOMO.
Samsung is a brand that doesn’t usually announce any product during MWC 2022, but instead choose to focus on the interconnectivity between devices. I expect Samsung’s announcement during MWC 2022 to be similar too.

Take a look at the teaser that Samsung has put up.

Basically, it’s a culmination of all the devices that Samsung has in the market – phones (both Z Flip and Z Fold as well) and also tablets. The laptop situation is a little weird as they are not available here in Malaysia but it is also part of the Galaxy ecosystem.
Personally, I expect Samsung to announce something related to software – perhaps Android 12L or teasing the next big step for One UI. It would be funny if they call it Two UI though.
Anyway, the Samsung Galaxy Mobile World Congress (MWC) Event 2022 will be happening on 27th February. The event will be streamed on Samsung’s YouTube channel beginning at 2.00am MYT.

Google adds Waze features to Maps

I’m pretty sure everyone of us reading this have used something that we know as Google Maps. The first ever world map application that was released to the world, to be precise.
Google acquired Waze not long ago, and now Google has already integrated Waze features seamlessly into Google Maps. Surely this is an amazing feat to be pulled out by Google – getting best of both worlds, namely simplicity and also informative. The best feature however is that Google brought the live accident reports from Waze into Maps too, which is Waze’s most amazing feature ever.

Since Google also had their not-so-amazing live traffic feed that is similar to Waze, Google sought ways to integrate the ways of Waze to improve their live traffic feed. Seriously, Google needs to fix their live feed on traffic especially during weird times like 3.30pm jams in the evening.
As of now, this feature is added into Google applications of 46 countries gradually – meaning if you’re not getting it now, be patient. It’s coming soon enough. Maybe in Malaysia, Google might want to add “natural disaster live report” too, like “flood near Bukit Jalil Stadium” or just plain “flooded SMART tunnel”. That’ll be really useful for sure!

ASUS ZenFone Max (M2) & Max Pro (M2) Spotted At SIRIM

Over the course of the last two weeks or so, we saw that ASUS Malaysia themselves have been teasing the phone already. We also saw leaks that ASUS will have two models in the upcoming ZenFone Max series – and that’s the ZenFone Max (M2) and also the ZenFone Max Pro (M2).
We all know for sure that the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M2) is coming since the hashtag used in ASUS Malaysia’s Facebook Page is indeed showing ZenFone Max Pro M2 – and giving Xiaomi a little roast while they’re at it.

As the regional launch date – 11th December – draws near, ASUS will need to send their device to SIRIM for certification – and that’s exactly what they did. Today at SIRIM’s online database, we found out that ASUS Malaysia will be bringing both the ZenFone Max (M2) ZB633KL and also the ZenFone Max Pro (M2 )ZB631KL. Yes – the higher model number is for the non-Pro version, whereas the lower model number is for the Pro version.

Both these phones were recently certified for SIRIM and from here, we identified a one major information about the upcoming ZenFone Max (M2) and the ZenFone Max Pro (M2) – and that is the lack of 802.11ac WiFi.
Without 802.11ac WiFi, you cannot fully utilize the speeds that Unifi Turbo has bestowed upon us. Learn more about it here.
In their defense, this might be a cost-cutting decision to keep the retail price low for both the ZenFone Max (M2) and ZenFone Max Pro (M2). Also, ASUS has been teasing a few other aspects of the upcoming ZenFone Maxes as well – 5,000mAh battery and also 3-axis EIS. It also has a notched display – which I really hope they’re using the same display as the ZenFone 5 that we reviewed here.

We can’t exactly confirm the specs of both the ZenFone Max (M2) and the ZenFone Max Pro (M2) yet, but we’ll surely update you when we have more information.

Review – ASUS ROG Strix SCAR II GL704 RTX2070

The new ROG Strix gaming laptops recently just received the RTX GPU upgrade and we were lucky enough to receive a sample unit from ASUS for this review. Read on to find out what we think of the ROG Strix SCAR II GL704.
ASUS ROG Strix SCAR II GL704

Intel Core i7-8750H
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB GDDR6
16 GB 2666 MHz DDR4 (single channel)
512 GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD
17.3″ FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, 144 Hz, 3ms, anti-glare

What you get in the package:

ROG Strix SCAR II GL704
Charging adapter
User manual & warranty documentation
ROG Metal sculpture

GL704 Chassis & Fancy RGBs

Since the GL504 & GL704 chassis is less than a year old, there is no reason for ROG to change it. First of all, the ultra-narrow bezels keep the laptop in a small footprint and you can fit it into a bag for 15.6-inch laptops. Even though the overall chassis is still made of plastic, due to the added thickness, the construction of the laptop feels solid in the hands. As for the RGB, You’ll still get the same backlit logo and light strip at the front of the laptop.
144Hz 1080p IPS Display

The display itself has been kept the same from its predecessor – 1080p Full HD resolution at 144 Hz refresh rate. The 3 ms grey-to-grey response time is impressive for FPS and fast-paced games. The lack of NVIDIA G-SYNC is a letdown especially for a gaming laptop that almost costs RM 10,000. Nonetheless, if you’re in dire of needing the G-Sync feature, perhaps have a look at the Zephyrus series laptops from ROG.

The slim bezels are only applicable to the top and sides. The bottom bezel unnecessarily houses the logo and the nostril-pointing-webcam. If ASUS is capable of releasing ZenBooks with ultra-slim bezels yet able to fit a Windows Hello capable IR camera at the top bezel, what’s the reason for not doing so in their gaming line up as well, right?
Anyway, judging from the fact the new ZenBook is relatively new. We believe they will release the technology to ROG Strix in the next iteration.
4-zone RGB Backlit Keyboard

The keyboard itself has remained the same throughout the GL-X03 and GL-X04 series. The typing experience on this keyboard has stayed consistent throughout the generation and I have absolutely no complaints about its usability. Design-wise, we can’t help but notice the transparent WASD keys which don’t blend really well with the rest of the laptop’s design.
For RGB fanatics, the 4-zone backlit keyboard is still lacking behind especially when some of their competitors already offering individually backlit keyboards for laptops of this price range.

The trackpad uses the Windows Precision driver and it works just as good as what we’re expecting. It is smooth and the tracking is accurate, at least for Window’s standard. We just hope the size could have been slightly larger for the 17.3-inch laptop. Nonetheless, gamers wouldn’t care to use the trackpad because gaming mouse is still the better choice for them.
Better Connectivity
We have the same quad-antenna AC WiFi as well as Bluetooth 5.0 from the GL704 (GTX 1070).
There are plenty of ports when it comes to physical connectivities:

Barrel charging port
RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
mini DisplayPort
HDMI
3x USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen 1)
3.5mm audio combo jack

SD card reader
USB Type-C 3.1 (Gen 2)
USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen 2)

It seems ROG has chosen to reserve ThunderBolt 3 to their higher-end models such as the ROG Zephyrus.
Performance & Thermals
Windows 10 1809
NVIDIA Driver version 417.71
Geekbench 4

CPU Single-Core: 4662
CPU Multi-Core: 18306
OpenCL: 238174
SuperPosition

SuperPosition: 4381
3DMark
Time Spy: 6807
Fire Strike: 15934
Port Royal: 3964
CrystalDiskMark

The included Intel 660p 512GB PCIe x4 NVMe SSD is so slow that it spells “something is wrong”. We have reached out to ASUS for further clarification on this matter.
Gaming

Game
Avg FPS
CPU Max Temp (C)
GPU Max Temp (C)

FFXV (high)

F1 2018 (ultra high)

Battlefield V (DXR ON)

Battlefield V (DXR OFF)

87

While the gaming performance on the GL704 did meet some of our expectations, however, it doesn’t really reflect that well on Overwatch and GTA V. The average frame rates on this 2 games were kind of low. Even though Overwatch at 69 fps is VERY playable, but a GTX 1070 can easily achieve that without any issue. High chance it is due to the driver issue and game’s compatibility with the new RTX cards. So we believe the RTX 2070 can push more frames out the game after a driver or game updates.
Other than the aforementioned 2 games, other games have been performing exceptionally well. Battlefield V with DXR ON and we’re getting average 55 fps is a shockingly great result.
We did raise our concern regarding the temperatures especially for the CPU because it only gets one heat sink while the GPU has two. As you can see from the gaming benchmark, the CPU could reach a whopping 99-degrees Celsius. Besides, the fan noise on this thing is ridiculously loud during gaming sessions.
On the plus side, the GPU temperature is well under control. This makes us believe that SCAR II can even take on the RTX 2080 without any issue.
Upgradability

ASUS has decided to provide a single stick of DDR4-2666 16GB RAM with the laptop because it allows users to easily self-upgrade it. The RAM price has dropped significantly for the past few weeks. Just drop in another stick of 16 gig and you’re good for that extra Chrome tabs.
If you think the 512GB SSD is not enough, you can always opt to self-install an additional 2.5″ SATA SSD or HDD.
Verdict
The ASUS ROG Strix GL704 SCAR II has the most up to date system with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 GPU. Pairing with the modern chassis design, it allows anyone to enjoy the next generation gaming graphics while on the go. We appreciate the capabilities of the laptop itself with just a small qualm over the lack of proper cooling for the CPU itself.

As for the price, the GL704 (RTX 2070) at RM 9,299 is almost RM 2,300 more expensive than the GL704 (RTX 2060). With that being said, we have to point out the fact that ROG Strix uses a standard RTX 2070 card instead of the slower RTX 2070 Max Q. Besides, looking at the bright side, compared to their close competitors, ROG’s price is considerably cheaper, keeping the GL704 RX2070 under RM9,300.
If you’re in the market looking for a high-performance gaming power station with the latest RTX graphics card, perhaps you will be interested with the ROG Strix SCAR II GL704.

Review – HONOR 20: New perspective into the macro world

On the 21st May 2019, HONOR just made an announcement at London that the HONOR 20 series is now official. It has the word “series” in it because there are a total of two phones released together – the HONOR 20 and also the Pro variant. We have here today with us is the non-Pro version – and here’s our in-depth review of it.
Special thanks to HONOR Malaysia for early unit – we had a lot of fun messing around with the HONOR 20 for the past 2 weeks!

Unboxing
The HONOR 20 comes with a pretty basic set of contents in the box. The unit that we have isn’t exactly retail since there are no documentations. It is also missing the TPU case. We have confirmed that the retail version of the HONOR 20 does indeed come with a TPU case.

Digging up all of the contents reveals that the HONOR 20 comes with the phone itself, a 22.5W SuperCharge charger, a USB-C cable with purple tips (since it needs to carry more current) and also a USB-C to headphone jack dongle. Yes, there’s a dongle, just like what the official unboxing showed us.

From the contents of the box itself, my fear of the lack of a headphone jack starts to materialize… but first, let’s talk about the design of the phone.
By the way, the HONOR 20 does have a screen protector pre-installed out of the box.

[nextpage title=”Design”]
For smartphone veterans who have been aware of what HONOR has been doing with their smartphones over the years. The HONOR 8 has a beautiful, radical design with multiple layers of glass at the back to create the reflections. The new HONOR 20 took that idea and put it on steroids, creating a surreal look.

HONOR calls it the “Dynamic Holographic glass back” and looks “multi-dimensional” by using “Triple 3D Mesh” technology. HONOR claims that the new glass back looks like it has depth, as in the back of phone looks like it has sunken into the phone itself.
Whatever that means, the new HONOR 20 highly reflective, a fingerprint magnet, and definitely attracts dust like magnet. Just like any other smartphones with a glass back, it is included case to prevent any premature damages. And honestly, the new glass back does like like any regular piece of glass. It’s quite difficult to pick up the reflections.

Though, grabbing the HONOR 20 does feel like it’s biting into my hand as it does have quite a boxy design. Since we do not have the included TPU case with us, we can only use the phone naked – and I honestly don’t like the boxy shape of the HONOR 20.
[nextpage title=”Connectivity & Ports”]
The HONOR 20 comes with the usual set of connectivity like any other flagships these days – it has AC WiFi that can take advantage of some of your Unifi Turbo speeds, has NFC, and also dual SIM card slots. However, there is no microSD card slot.

It’s a little weird since the HONOR View20 did not have a microSD card slot, and honestly, HONOR should have included a hybrid slot instead. But still, that’s okay since the HONOR 20 series comes with a minimum of 128GB of storage.
This is something that I love.
One of the best features of the HONOR 20 has got to be side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Just like many other Sony Xperia smartphones in the past, the fingerprint scanner is the power button itself. And yes, it is at the side.

Just above the power button is where the volume rocker is found.

At the bottom is the speaker grill alongside with the USB-C port and a microphone.

The top is where the secondary microphone and proximity sensor is found. We’ve already talked about the weirdly positioned proximity sensor back during the View20’s review.
From here I think you might have realized that the HONOR 20 does not have a headphone jack. That is why they included USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack dongle. That’s unfortunate as there are so many people that still rely on that 3.5mm audio jack. Bummer.
[nextpage title=”Display”]
The display is actually not bad on the HONOR 20. It comes with a 6.1-inch display with 1080p resolution, and a circular cutout at the top left corner. It’s technically the same display as the View20, just smaller. It’s tiny and the touchscreen still works around the cutout – which is something that I appreciate especially while playing PUBG Mobile.

You can adjust the color temperature as well, and you have the entire color wheel for you to play with, alongside with 3 presets. That’s great!

There are two color mods for you to choose from – “normal” and also “vivid”. I personally prefer vivid colors, though. Its contrast is great and colors and saturated although I do think that the display is a little on the blue tint side. Thanks to the versatility of the color temperature setting, I can adjust it to a warmer temperature which I prefer.
[nextpage title=”Cameras”]
Okay, this is the other selling point that HONOR has made an emphasis on – the cameras. It was advertised as the phone with 4 cameras, though the HONOR 20 only has a total of 3 usable cameras while the HONOR 20 Pro has a total of 4 usable cameras. This is a similar situation with the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) and the Galaxy A9 (2018).
Still, we are here solely to review the HONOR 20, and this is the list of camera hardware that it has:

Triple rear-facing cameras

Ultrawide angle: 20MP f/2.2 with PDAF
Main: 48MP f/1.8 with PDAF
Macro: 2MP f/2.4 fixed focus
Depth sensor

32MP f/2.0 selfie camera

Here’s the list of pictures that you can have a look. As usual, the full uncompressed image alongside with all the metadata can be viewed at the our Shutterfly album.
Rear-facing cameras
Okay, let’s just start by saying that the cameras on the HONOR 20 is actually quite good. It still has the same hardware and software as the HONOR View20, and we took it to Paris to take some of the most jaw-dropping shots that I’ve seen on a smartphone. That Sony IMX586 48MP sensor is really potent.
Taken with the ultrawide angle camera.
From here I turned on AI and also used the ultrawide angle camera. It comes with autofocus as well, which is something that I truly appreciate. However, the picture that comes out of it is punchy albeit a little darker than I like. Of course, the exposure can be adjusted before taking the picture.
Taken with the main 48MP camera with AI Ultra Clarity mode.
Of course, the 48MP AI Ultra Clarity mode is still as gorgeous as ever. I absolutely love this move whereby they combine low ISO with HDR, creating a noise-free image with high resolution and beautiful natural-looking colors.
Moving to somewhere that is showered by sunlight, I took some closeup shots with the brand new macro camera. Here’s a comparison of how close the macro can go when compared to the main 48MP camera.
Macro camera.
Main 48MP camera.
From here, we can see that the 2MP macro camera actually does quite a good job – though the colors obviously look different. For some reason, the macro camera produces a much more saturated picture compared to the 48MP main camera.
Taken with the macro camera.
However, when we moved to an artificially-lit environment with two bright bulbs, the camera already starts to show some clarity issue. It’s also quite difficult to focus as the macro camera is “best at 4cm distance” but it does not show which part of the image is in critical focus. Also, the white balance is messed up.
The HONOR 20 macro camera has a fixed focus which has a focal point at 4cm away from the phone.
Selfie camera
Once again I’m not really a fan of selfies, but the HONOR 20 does take some decent selfies. It does, however, looks a bit too soft. The softness is good for those who want to create a dreamy-looking selfie with beautification, actually.

Camera UI

The camera UI found in the HONOR 20 seriously needs some cleaning up. It’s clunky and I have no idea why the macro mode is hidden in the “more” menu. Shouldn’t it be on the main screen menu? It can be tucked at the corner – yes, but don’t hide it somewhere obscure.
[nextpage title=”Software – Android 9.0 Pie with Magic UI 2.1″]
So… this is awkward. Huawei, the parent company of HONOR, just got its Android OS license prolonged for another 90 days. That means there will be no further security updates from Google themselves, and Huawei/HONOR has to manage that on their own.
In whichever case, Magic UI in itself is essentially still the same as Huawei’s EMUI, just with a different name. To which like I said in our review of the Huawei P30 recently, it is outdated compared to skins from other brands. Quite a lot of useful features are missing as well – like fingerprint scanner gestures.
That is a proximity sensor, not IR blaster.
Don’t get me wrong – it still works, but I honestly prefer something like Samsung’s One UI or even OPPO’s new ColorOS 6 that has updated features and a cleaner UI overall.
Like what I have said in the Huawei P30 review, the background app management and how EMUI just likes to kill all the background apps bugs me to the core. The system makes it difficult to get into the settings and manually change it.
[nextpage title=”Performance & Gaming”]
Let’s go first by saying that just like any other Huawei/HONOR flagship smartphones, the HONOR 20 comes with the company’s best core specs. For our specific unit for review, we have:

6.1-inch IPS LCD display with 2340×1080 pixels in resolution
HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset
6GB LPDDR4X RAM
128GB UFS 2.1 storage
3,750mAh battery
Android 9.0 Pie with Magic UI 2.1

Let’s first take a look at the benchmarks, which actually performs just the same like the HONOR View20 (review), the Mate 20 Pro (review), and also the P30 (review). There is also a “performance mode” which boosts the CPU score higher, but consumes a lot more battery and heats up the phone. Hence, we’re not going to talk about that here.

Gaming
Honestly, nothing too out of the ordinary here. While its benchmark scores aren’t specifically the best among the current generation of flagship smartphones, the Kirin 980 can still run games without any problems.
It can run Honkai Impact 3 and Asphalt 9 at the highest graphical settings with no issues as well.
I played PUBG for an hour or two at HDR graphics with Ultra frame rates, anti-aliasing and shadows enabled as well. The phone managed to perform without any issues throughout the gameplay and that’s great.
[nextpage title=”Battery & Charger”]
The HONOR 20 comes with a weird capacity of 3,750mAh battery. It’s decently-sized and relatively large compared to other smartphones in the market. However, the because of the Kirin 980 chipset, the battery capacity is not exactly the best.

Lasting for about 12.5 hours, you definitely need to conserve your usage if you want to use it for a full day.
Charger

With the HONOR 20, they included a SuperCharge charger. It packs 5V at 4.5A, with a total of 22.5W. It’s definitely not the fastest charger around, but hey – it can get you a considerable amount of battery charge within a short time.

With the SuperCharge, it takes about 23 minutes to reach 50% charge and 43 minutes to reach 75% battery charge.
As for the 5V 2A charger, it takes 34 minutes to reach 50% charge and 59 minutes to reach 75% battery.
[nextpage title=”Wrapping up the HONOR 20 review”]
Alright, let’s jump straight into the core of this review. The HONOR 20 in itself is actually a decent phone, although with some pros and cons here and there. The phone itself is actually quite decent and focusing more on the camera itself.
The triple usable cameras on the HONOR 20 does offer a dynamic – you can go super wide or go super tiny – albeit that the white balancing and noise levels for indoor shots need improvement. The presence of a macro camera seriously offers a whole new perspective, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.

The 3,750mAh battery with SuperCharge is definitely something nice to have either, though I feel like the inclusion of a larger battery is still better – like the ZenFone 6.
All in all, it’s still a decent phone overall but after using it for about 2 weeks, I still can’t get over the fact that HONOR removed the audio jack. It’s just not cool to take away something so ubiquitous and useful, especially to mobile gamers.
Perhaps take a look at the HONOR View20 too. It’s still a great phone and feels better on the hands. It comes with more or less the same set of core specs, but it has a 3.5mm audio jack.

User Experience – GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P Fully Modular Power Supply

GAMDIAS is a fairly new player in the market for PC components. They’ve always been into peripherals but they’re expanding to other markets like gaming chairs and now, PC components. Introducing the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P, a 1200W fully modular power supply with RGB all over it.
At first glance, the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P looks oddly familiar – and that’s because most of you have seen this design before – if you’re into RGB power supplies for the last year or so, of course.

Even though it’s GAMDIAS’s first entry to the PC hardware market, they’re confident enough with the CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P and is backing it up with a 10-year warranty. Wow.
Unboxing

The box for this enormous power supply is actually quite appealing. If you’re familiar with GAMDIAS’s product packaging design language, then it’s pretty much the same here. You have a black/white/orange theme going on, just like any other GAMDIAS products we’ve seen.
We do know that the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P has an 80 PLUS Platinum certification, but it lacks an efficiency curve printed on the box.
Nice thick foam.
Opening up the box reveals that the power supply unit itself is sandwiched in two large pieces of foam, and the bag of cables are wrapped in a pouch. It’s nice to have everything packed neatly.
A dedicated bag to house all cables.
Design

The entire power supply looks… familiar, as we’ve said before. They’re also using a top flow design style, where air is taken in from the top and the sides.
Side air intakes
Looking at the back of the power supply, we can see that there are a few extra things here. Firstly, GAMDIAS has included a power switch – which is nice to have. Secondly, there’s a button to cycle through the RGB modes. Thirdly, there’s a button to toggle between silent mode and “normal” mode.

Also, instead of having a conventional grill design like other power supplies, GAMDIAS opted for a fancy design to differentiate themselves from the competitors in the market. They do have their own look, by the way.

As for the top, that’s where the specs are found.

Cable Management
Everything is nicely packed in the included pouch.
Now, to be honest, when I first saw the flat black cables, it reminded me of how I dealt with the MasterWatt 750’s cables. In contrast with other types of cables, these flat ribbon style of cables has its own advantages – namely the the breadth of each cable. Sure, folding these cables to create extreme angles are difficult, but if the cables are lined up properly, they can look rather sleek.

Of course, being such a high-powered power supply, there are a multitude of ports for you to connect to. For most people, the amount of connectors available on the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P will be enough. I mean, it can connect up to 10 6+2 PCIe connectors, 9 SATA power connectors, and 6 more Molex connectors – and managing them will be difficult.

Each of the cables included are 100cm, even the EPS cable and 24-pin cables are 100cm. It is of adequate length for most cases. For larger cases, it might be insufficient but then you can always get extensions or custom cables. Remember, the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P is a fully modular power supply.
User Experience
Since we don’t have any load tester or enough power-hungry hardware to fully test the capability of the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P, we can only describe our user experience and the time spent with it.
Installing the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P is definitely going to be a challenge for some cases. It’s longer than standard ATX power supplies, so keep that in mind when you’re searching for a case.
The cable headers are nicely labeled.
Managing the ribbon-style flat cables has its good and bad side, but that really depends on your personal preference and many more factors. For me personally, I’m fine with it. Been using power supplies with flat cables for quite a long time already.

After powering up the system, the light show starts instantly. I mean, that’s what RGB is all about – and there’s a button behind the power supply that cycles through the 26 lighting effects that it has. GAMDIAS calls it the “Neon-Flex RGB”, but most of it are cycling through the slew of solid colors.
There’s also another switch to toggle between silent mode. To ensure the most comfortable experience that you can get, I recommend turning it on as it will sound like a typhoon otherwise.
Also, keep in mind that the power supply can output 100A on its 12V rails. If you’re planning to run two graphic cards in your system, the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P can handle that without any issue.
Wrapping up the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P overview
As mentioned – we do not have the tools to give it a full test. However, the power supply is a good one for GAMDIAS as a first step into the PC component market. I’m also looking forward to a smartly silent mode by adjusting the fan RPM according to load and temperature. Turn it off if it’s below a certain temperature threshold.

For those who care about the lighting, I do wish that the RGB lighting to be adjustable through the motherboard or an RGB controller. As of now, the GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P does not synchronize with other RGB components that you have. Pressing the button behind the power supply to cycle through all the 26 lighting effects isn’t convenient either.
The GAMDIAS CYCLOPS X1-1200W-P now retails at the price of RM1,250. It also comes with 80 PLUS Platinum certification and a 10-year warranty.

BlackShark releases new JoyBuds TWS and detachable mouse Mako M1 in Malaysia

BlackShark Malaysia has finally brought in the newly released JoyBuds TWS and Maco M1 gaming mouse with the latter being the brand’s first step into the PC gaming peripheral market.

Starting off the list, the new JoyBuds enjoys better connectivity and latency through the Bluetooth 5.2 chipset while powered by a set of 14.2mm drivers with a titanium-plate composite diaphragm to pack stronger bass without ruining the higher frequency which is a popular sound profile among gamers. To eliminate external distractions, the dual mic ENC feature will keep unwanted cues away while the quality-of-life ‘In Ear Detection’ will automatically pause or playback audios when the earbuds are being taken off or put in while the touch control which is the circular surface serves all sorts of control such as answering and ending calls, volume control, play/pause and track skipping with a simple gesture.

On the other hand, the Mako M1 can double up as a gaming mouse with low latency in wired mode or for maximum convenience like light work through wireless powered by the rechargeable battery. Weighing in just 90 grams (excluding battery), the Maco M1 runs a honeycomb shell exterior to be as lightweight as possible and thanks to its ergonomic profile, players that uses either claw, palm, or fingertip gesture will learn to master the mouse in no time. For tracking, the 10,000 DPI sensor will do just fine with 6 programmable buttons and customizable RGB filling the shoes of a proper gaming mouse.
Pricing and Purchase Link
Both the BlackShark JoyBuds TWS and Maco M1 gaming mouse is now available on the official BlackShark Shopee store at the price of RM299 and RM199.
