[UPDATED] Motorola Razr has a hinge that feels “flimsy”

Over the course of these few weeks, flip phones are back in the headlines become of the Motorola Razr and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Currently, the Motorola Razr is already in the market – and the hinge worries many people.
Max Weinbach of XDA Developers has pointed out that the hinge “doesn’t sound good” and the hinge also feels “flimsy” while including a video on what he meant.

This is the sound of the hinge on the Razr folding. It doesn’t sound good. The hinge also feels flimsy and cheap for a $1500 phone. The rep at this store said she was afraid to use it. pic.twitter.com/dCXZNlCF0P
— Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) February 2, 2020

And then, Nirave also tweeted his own retail unit of the Motorola Razr, highlighting the same issue. Both of them have the same squeaky sound when trying to fold/unfold the phone.

Can confirm this is on retail units. This is on mine after 1 day of use. https://t.co/lBXIWtE8fI pic.twitter.com/9XTNG4YBmM
— Nirave 尼拉夫 (@nirave) February 2, 2020

This hinge is made to “sink” into the body of the phone, so there is no visible gap when the phone is folded. That means the screen will have to bend at even more parts of the screen, hence Max Weinbach also pointed out that there is a total of two major creases. We can indeed see another minor crease where the phone folds, though.

I don’t know how well you can see it but the Razr has two creases. pic.twitter.com/deWC7CNudo
— Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) February 2, 2020

We reviewed the Galaxy Fold last year and we said that the crease wasn’t visible when we look at it directly – like how phones are meant to be used. But when we swiped our finger across the hinge, we can feel the crease. I’m not sure how the screen of the Motorola Razr feels since we tend to swipe up and down more than left and right.
Moreover, Motorola also stated that “bumps and lumps are normal” since it is made to bend. That is quite a bold statement since none of the foldable displays have any “bumps and lumps” as of now.

Whatever the case may be, the Motorola Razr is currently still the one and only flip phone with a foldable display that is available in the market. We’ll have to wait until the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip t obe out in the market before any solid comparisons can be made.
11th February is the day.

UPDATE: Here’s how the hinge sounds after a week
According to this new tweet, the hinge creaks even more now after a week’s use. However, do keep in mind that this is a very aggressive way of demonstrating the hinge squeaking and creaking.

I would be scared to own this phone for more than a month https://t.co/6Dwu3r2Zju
— Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) February 6, 2020

We’ll definitely need to test it for ourselves – if it ever comes to the Malaysian market, that is.

Review – Dell Latitude 5520: Who is this for?

This is Dell’s Latitude 5520. I know, Latitude laptops are made for businesses so why are we – a channel focused on consumer electronics – reviewing a business laptop?
Well, there are a few reasons. You can actually buy this Latitude 5520 laptop that we show in this video today for yourself for your own personal use. But the question is – why?

First, let’s go through the design. This Dell Latitude 5520 has a very standard laptop design and I think that’s okay since I think that this laptop is most suitable for executives that usually work in their own station and mobility is not required. So, the design, size, and weight don’t really matter here.

Upon lifting up the laptop for the first time, I realized that the Latitude 5520’s build quality isn’t the most impressive since it’s made entirely out of plastic. Then I realized that the laptop is made out of bioplastics from trees. Interesting.

Now, let’s take a look inside. The keyboard is pretty decent overall and it feels okay to type on. The entire typing area is shifted to the left to make space for the number pad, like many other laptops in the market right now. That power button placement is also not an issue as Dell made that one particular button have a stiffer key switch so accidental presses will not happen that often.

What I don’t like about the keyboard is the arrow key cluster since it frustrates me whenever I tried to use it.

The trackpad is okay in terms of tracking but the palm rejection could have been better. Since the trackpad is also shifted to the left, it’s just very awkward to use overall but I think anyone who works at an office desk job will have an external mouse anyway.

As for the specs, the specific model that we got here comes with:

Intel Core i7-1185G7
Intel Iris Xe graphics
1x 16GB RAM stick
512GB NVMe SSD

With such specs, the Dell Latitude 5520 is indeed a very powerful laptop. We did some more intensive tests for the Intel Core i7-1185G7 in the past, so you can check out those videos instead.

You can even play games or edit videos on this laptop – powerful, but I don’t think you are buying this laptop for that purpose, given the price of this laptop.
As for the display, this is a very typical 15.6-inch 1080p IPS LCD screen. It looks good and that’s about it. It can only go up to 250 nits brightness so you can only use this indoors.

However, there is a special slider at the top of this laptop to block out the webcam entirely. But the webcam module is large since it does have a built-in IR camera for Windows Hello facial recognition and login too.

And on that subject, we should move to some of the key highlights of this laptop – security in the office. If you look at the ports of this laptop, we have a lot of ports on both the left and right sides – multiple USB ports, microSD card reader, Ethernet port, double Thunderbolt 4 ports for both data and charging – and what’s this?

A service card slot? Yeah, A literal service card slot that enterprises can use for authentication purposes.
If you head into Dell’s website, you can further customize the Dell Latitude 5520 to include other things like a fingerprint reader, NFC card reader instead of having to slot in a card every time to login, all of that stuff.
However, my question for you is – who should buy this laptop?
Like what we mentioned at the beginning of this video, this is the Dell Latitude 5520. Latitude series is meant for businesses, hence it comes with all the options to include a service card reader, contactless smart card reader, all of those security features. It also has the option to include vPro manageability – which is only useful for enterprises with lots of employees.

From an enterprise perspective, I think it’s a decent laptop. It’s durable, has a large screen, a full-sized keyboard for work (cough bad arrow keys cough), and is also rather power-efficient as we can charge via the Thunderbolt 4 port with any USB-PD chargers.
You can also buy more warranty services and a tech support phone label (which costs RM84) on top of the existing one – but I think that only makes sense for enterprises.
For general consumers like you and me, I don’t think this laptop is suitable for you.

Review – OPPO Enco X2 – Great sound augmented by plentiful software support

So recently, OPPO has launched the 2nd generation of the top-spec Enco X TWS lineup – the OPPO Enco X2. Touted as the second generation of TWS earbuds in collaboration with Dynaudio, let’s find out how it fares against the competitors and see what’s special with the Enco X2.

Rocking a large and wide box wearing the silver shirt which obviously means it is sleek and full of style, lifting off the front cover and you can see the entire TWS unit with the case sitting on the top.

Pulling off the big, white cutout on the top and the bottom compartment reveals the instruction manual encased within a black cardboard box, the extra ear tips for different ear sizes, and the charging cable.

With the case being rather big yet flatter than most TWS out there, it is actually quite nice to hold due to the egg-like design but the glossy surface would spell doom to the OCDs as this kind of coating always end up with micro-scratches and sometimes fingerprints that is noticeable if you shine enough light on it. But not a lot of people have the time or purpose to do that so you’ll be fine.
On the other hand, the hinge is also quite balanced in terms of holding force and the amount required to open it as I can easily do it with one hand albeit needing to do it at a particular angle and gesture. Looking at the good side, that means it won’t open itself by accident.

As a side tip earphone user, the Enco X2’s earbud design is just right at home. Sliding them into my ear canals doesn’t give out any discomfort due to their fully-rounded body and they fit snuggly with the default ear tip size. Just swap it up if you feel too hollow or stuffy.
Let’s take a detour to the software part of things as it is far more interested in my opinion.

For starters, pulling out the earbuds automatically initiate the Google Fast Pair service that makes the TWS – the Enco X2 in particular – automatically associated with the main Gmail account your smartphone is currently running. Just tap the Connect to finish up the wizard and it’s done in like 5 seconds.

Like other brands, OPPO also has its own audio-related app for TWS and such which is the HeyMelody. Launching the app with the Enco X2 connected takes you to this home screen filled with various functions and features and we’ll go through them bit by bit.
Okay, so the Enco X2 is advertised as using a new ultra-wide frequency ANC configuration to block out a larger range of unwanted ambient sounds. By testing it even in Max Mode, I can say that even in a busy restaurant, the ANC is still a bit lacking in my opinion but compared to past iterations of this technology, the sound quality and profile are still maintained without any drastic change and this actually surprised me by a lot.
In general, the implementation of the ultra-wide frequency ANC might have made the Enco X2 stronger in the aspect of “jack of all trades” but for the “master of one”, fairly good but not the best.
Of course, there are other two profiles which are Off and Transparency and I found the latter affects sound quality the most as it needs to constantly feed external audio cues to give you awareness. You’ll probably only need to use this if you need to be aware of your surrounding and not really care about your 44100KHz FLAC music getting destroyed.

Another core highlight of the Enco X2 is the partnership with Dynaudio and here’s where the audio engineer’s work comes through in the form of 3 profiles – Real, Simple & Clear, and Punchy.
The easiest and most obvious way to feel the difference is that Punchy literally adds extra oomph to the music and gets your eardrums rolling and bouncing around. As for Simple & Clear, it works the other way as Punchy which reduces impact and amping the mids and highs a little bit.
Lastly, Real is selected by default and it is seriously hard to notice if there’s any extra tuning happening but the overall clarity is definitely a bit better, especially compared to some of the wired earphones in the house and I’m actually impressed by the Enco X2.

As a first-time user, I gave the Golden Sound feature some faith and tried it out. OPPO’s implementation of customizing a sound profile for you is through measuring your ability to hear different frequencies at different amplitudes.
All I get here are just beeps and boops and once finished for both the left and right ear, you’ll get a profile and you can apply it to get some “boost”.
Yet, the funny thing is when I listen to music, it often just feels like coming from within the head, and is hard to tell if they have a “direction”. Yet after applying the Golden Sound profile, all the songs immediately have a “front and center” feeling like it’s sprouting off my forehead or something.
I wouldn’t say this is a bad thing but this feature is highly subjective and it could just be me not getting used to the “true sounds”.
Swiping to the middle tab and there’s the Earbud Controls where you can mingle everything from squeezing to swiping the side and change up their usual commands to fit your needs. There are things like track switching and calling up Google Assistant so if duplicated functions are not your thing, feel free to hit up this tab and give everything a shake.
Well, you can’t run away from the nature of wireless connection and for everything that runs on radio waves, there’s bound to be some delay. So by default, there’s around 528ms of time gap between transmission whereas enabling Game Mode that reduces signal stability by a bit tolls down the number a bit to 404ms (not found?!).
So, definitely usable in music listening and video binge sessions.
Conclusion – Is it worth the buck?
So, is the OPPO Enco X2 TWS deserves your hard-earned cash? Well, I’d say it’s a yes but only if you’re not under a budget constraint. At RM799, you’re better off with a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones.
But, if you absolutely hate or are fully uncomfortable with those bulky earcups and have no problem blowing a cool eight hundred just for a pair of TWS, this might be the closest one that matches your need.
The most impressive part of it is the realization of decently good sound quality with ANC on, albeit it could be lacking in times of situation.
However, since the feature set is expanded by the HeyMelody app and you get to have a bit of the customization game for yourself which I see as an important part in terms of software support, the Enco X2 does a good job and gets a thumbs up from me personally.

Facebook Dating now available in 19 countries; Malaysia included

Let’s be honest here. Many of us are already using Facebook on a daily basis, as if it’s a core integral of our life. Some of us are also using dating services like Tinder and many other services out there, which many of them links back to Facebook. The one question we all have is – why don’t Facebook have their own dating service? Well, the answer is here – introducing Facebook Dating.
It’s a no-brainer for Facebook to launch their own dating service and here it is – arriving to a total of 19 countries today, and Malaysia is one of them. Facebook Dating is wildly different from other dating services since Facebook in itself is a social media platform where friends and family get connected. We surely don’t want to date our family members… and some of us aren’t comfortable dating our friends as well.

This is where Facebook Dating starts differentiate itself from other services as it is built with people in safety, privacy, and discretion in mind. Let’s address them in a bullet point form.

Facebook Dating is a separate profile on Facebook
Yes, Facebook Dating is still within the main Facebook app itself, but it is using a completely different “profile”. All of your dating activities are not shared on your profile or anyone else’s.
Matchmaking based on common traits
People click with their mates because of some common traits. They act as an icebreaker and Facebook Dating has the ability to suggest you matches based on your preferences, interests, and things you do on Facebook.
Control who can see your Facebook Dating profile
By default, your Facebook Dating profile will only be shown to those who are suggested matches or to those whom you are suggested to. To open up your Dating profile to your Facebook friends, you will have to manually opt in.
Enhanced privacy controls
Within the experience, you have the ability to include or hide friends of friends in your pool of suggested matches. You can also report or block someone if at any point you feel uncomfortable.
Enhanced safety by sharing your live location to keep friends and family updated (coming soon)
It’s scary to go out and meet a total stranger alone at some quiet place. Hence, Facebook will be adding a new feature to share your live location to your friends or family through Facebook Messenger.
Control over gender preferences
Coming directly from a more liberal country, Facebook Dating has been developed with external LGBT Community Organizations and NGOs within our Network of Support which includes GLAAD, Transgender Law Center, and more to bring you the current options for listing your own gender. Facebook worked with these partners so that your gender and interest are safe, inclusive, transparent, and intuitive.
Absolutely free
Facebook Dating is free for everyone to use. Facebook has said that there are no plans for monetizing this service for now.

There is also another great feature for our complex human feelings – and that is Secret Crush. This feature is specially made for those who has a crush but is too shy to talk or confess their feelings to their crushes. Hence, you can add your crush into the Secret Crush list. Don’t worry, they won’t know it’s you who has a crush on them since your profile and name will not be shown.
If your crush added you back on their Secret Crush list, then both your Facebook Dating profiles will be revealed to each other. This skips the potentially awkward confession and rejection phase of confronting a crush.
The best feature on Facebook Dating!
You can have a total of 9 crushes in your list at once. However, you can only add one new crush per day, but you can remove them at any time.
To start using Facebook Dating, you’ll have to first update your Facebook app to the latest version. Then, manually opt-in to Facebook Dating and create a dating profile. Once again, this Dating profile is completely independent from your Facebook account, though it is within the same Facebook app. Once your dating profile is done, you will see suggested matches. Start adding your Secret Crush and get your love life rolling again – this time with much more control.

Review – ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition UX5401: Good-looking laptop for sure

If you’re looking for a laptop that looks amazing while having a great screen, then the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition UX5401 is surely a laptop that should be at the top of your list. This laptop brings a few specialties to the table – and as the name suggests, this is a special edition laptop. However, it is not a limited edition. There’s no need to scalp this laptop.
There are many things that I wish words can describe, but alas – I suggest you watch our video here instead. It’s better to show you than to purely speak about it.

So, what this laptop brings to the table? Let’s find out.
Design
Obviously, the “space edition” here means that the laptop will indeed have some special-looking design. The entire “Space Edition” mantra here is inspired by the Mir project, as a commemoration of one of the ASUS’s laptops that were chosen to be for that project. We can see that the emblem-looking thing is actually the Mir Space Station’s shape.

We’ve also unboxed this laptop to show how special it is – so have a look here.

One more specialty of this laptop is the “ZenVision” screen. It’s a monochrome OLED screen that displays some information that we can customize through the MyASUS software.

What’s even more beautiful, is that the design spills into the laptop after we opened the lid too. The wrist rest area is decked with the same style of Space Edition design but they’re covered by the stickers instead. I suggest peeling off all the stickers to fully admire the laptop’s beauty.
Keyboard & trackpad
The keyboard is actually quite good. I had fun typing on the keyboard as it is springy and offers some decent travel distance. The aesthetic of the keyboard is also classy as it uses the same beige color from the laptop’s chassis throughout the entire keyboard – except for the power button and the spacebar. I guess it’s time to insert some jokes about “space”bar here?

The trackpad though, is fairly decent overall – granted, our unit was faulty as the trackpad had something that’s constantly pushing it upwards. Again, the trackpad still works fine – just the clicking mechanism is a little weird.

Screen
Of course, the screen of this laptop is also something to be amazed about because it is using an OLED screen with a resolution of 2.8K and 90Hz refresh rate. These are some good specs, but we’ll have to use the colorimeter to test out its color accuracy.

To our surprise, the screen’s color accuracy is fantastic!

The peak brightness of the screen isn’t particularly that high, though. It can reach about 360 nits of brightness at most – and that is definitely not enough for outdoor usage under sunlight.

By the way, this is also a touchscreen. But, the hinge only allows angles up to about 150-ish degrees.

However, the OLED screen is a little weird here. Like a few of the other ASUS laptops with OLED screens that we’ve reviewed in the past, it will say that it has switched to PWM dimming when its brightness is below 55%. Some of the ASUS laptops can actually go all the way down to 1% brightness without the message appearing.

It’s still an unresolved mystery, but it’s something that I want to explore further.
Performance
In terms of performance, I think it’s a little wasted. We have this list of specs for our configuration of this laptop:

As you can see, it’s pairing up the H-series Intel Core processor on what is supposed to be a thin and light laptop. Since there is no discrete GPU on this laptop, its performance is most likely going to be bottlenecked by the Intel Iris Xe GPU – unless your application uses mostly CPU and very little GPU power.
At the lowest graphical settings. It averages around 35-45fps.
I can’t help but think that Intel is making way for the Arc discrete GPUs instead of improving Iris Xe since the Iris Xe in the new 12th Gen Intel Core processors are pretty much a direct copy-paste of 11th Gen’s Iris Xe GPUs.
We did further analysis and explanation on 12th Gen Intel Core Processors, so watch that video here too.

Battery life
I mean, it’s surely improved. Considering that this laptop has a higher resolution screen and a higher refresh rate while also equipped with the high-powered Intel Core i7-12700H, I still get about 5-7 hours out of a single charge. Granted, the battery life drastically varies depending on what I am viewing on the screen and at what brightness, because OLED screens aren’t as straightforward as IPS LCD screens.

I would also like to see some sort of automatic refresh rate switcher when I’m using the laptop’s battery. Currently, the laptop is always at 90Hz no matter if I’m on battery or plugged into the charger. I believe that switching to 60Hz on battery will be beneficial for us.
Should you buy the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED UX5401 Space Edition?
Tough question to answer, honestly. Let’s take a look at the variants available and their prices.

Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition
UX5401Z-ASKN070WS
Titanium

i7-12700H
16GB RAM
1TB

UX5401Z-ASKN081WS
Titanium

i5-12500H
16GB
512GB

RM5,599

Honestly speaking, I think the Zenbook 14X OLED UX5401 Space Edition isn’t exactly that expensive. It’s a special edition after all, so some price premium is expected. However, I highly recommend the Core i5-12500H version instead since the performance out of the Core i7-12700K version is probably not going to be utilized much.

CES2017: Honor 6X – Budget Dual-Camera Smartphone

Here’s the summary of the entire Honor 6X – it’s Honor’s brand new embodiment of the “double or nothing” motto, and it brings their premium dual-lens rear camera setup to the budget smartphone range.
Of course, it’s not only the budget smartphone range. There’s also its “extended battery life and rock-solid performance”.

First, the juicy bits. It has a 5.5-inch 1080p display with 2.5D glass on both its front and back. The rear cameras are comprised of two different sensors – one main 12MP camera for the image capturing, and another 2MP camera depth of field information. The aperture range is also one of the widest I’ve seen for a budget smartphone, ranging from f/0.95 to f/16.

The specs are actually commendable, as it sports a Kirin 655 chipset (manufactured using FinFET technology, click here to learn more) with octa-core processor clocked at 2.1GHz and 1.7GHz, and another i5 co-processor. Other than that, it comes with either 3GB or 4GB variant too.

All these hardware are powered by a 3,340mAh battery. Remember when we explained why and how your battery can last longer? Expect a full day’s worth of heavy usage on most of the days.
The Honor 6X is priced at USD $299.99, which translates to about ~RM 1,350.
We’ll be sure to confirm which RAM capacity that we’re getting in Malaysia when we have the official confirmation!

Transcend brings in the StoreJet Upgrade Kit

Transcend is one the leading solid-state storage manufacturers in the world, and now, I think they’re writing us a love letter by bringing in the most useful tool of all times – a portable storage enclosure, the StoreJet Upgrade Kit.

I would use the StoreJet Upgrade Kit not to for the purpose it’s named for, but to put in my extra hard disk that I have lying around for some extra form of back up or data transfer. Other than that, I would use it for data recovery purposes from other hard disks too. Then, your hard disk will be exactly like one of Transcend’s very own rugged external hard disks!

Coolest Office – Now In Kuala Lumpur

Google is known to have the coolest places to work in around the world and now Malaysia is a port of it. Google Malaysia’s new office is now open in Kuala Lumpur on the Quill 7 building, level 20 which occupies 10,000 square feet of work environment.

Thanks to MEX highway, opening an office in Kuala Lumpur was a strategic choice since it is only 30 minutes to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport(KLIA). Kuala Lumpur is obviously the central point of Malaysia where international visitors will only need to spend so little time walking to get to the office from KLIA. Combined with Kuala Lumpur’s public transportation, residence and other leisure are within reasonable distance.
Google Malaysia office will mainly serve as a marketing and sales center which focuses on ads and social media. However, some of our local Google staffs have already gained access to Google’s latest hardware such as the Google Glass which is only deployed in the United States.
“And before we can ever release it here, it would need to be approved by Sirim,” said Google Malaysia, Pakistan & Bangladesh head of communications & public affairs, Zeffri Yusof.
As most of us know, Google is famous for not only their search engine but also for their playground like work environment. Their meeting rooms is designed to simulate an environment inside a cave to reflect Malaysia’s various interesting caves. Their cafeteria, “Gerai Gugel” was decorated with colorful swing chairs and tables. In their recreation room, there is a full sized arcade machine which you can choose from hundreds of 8 bit arcade games. Beside the arcade machine, a newer gaming machine, an Xbox 360, is provided for the younger geeks who prefer high graphics gaming which is fully equipped with Xbox Live and Kinect.

Various other projects was launch recently and the most exciting one is Google Street View for Malayisa. Today, there are various instrument such as the Street View Car and their mobile backpack camera is roaming across Malaysia to capture the views of tons of exciting places to visit in Malaysia.
Hopefully one day the Google office in Malaysia will be more aggressive in terms of research and development of new technologies and being involved in software development along with mind blowing data crunching equipment(data center perhaps?). What I am curious is that will Google and Proton join forces to further develop the world’s first commercial self driving car?

HUVr introduces hoverboards to the world

Let’s face it – we all want a hoverboard since we first saw it in the movie Back To The Future. To be honest, I want one myself! Glide above everything and even on top of cars during traffic jams to show them who’s boss.
Firstly, HUVr’s video actually included a real, classical DeLorean that we’ve all seen and love in the Back To The Future film. Heck, they even got the guy who acted as the Doc from the film, Christopher Lloyd!

So they even got all the big stars including Tony Hawk to try out the hoverboard. If you do look closely, doesn’t the HUVr logo look awfully similar to the logo of Back To The Future? The tilted angle, the font.

All I could say is that they really did a good job on the video, convincing the people that the hoverboard is now a non-fiction, but sadly  even the HUVr website is a fake.

To break it down, the DeLorean and Christopher Lloyd already hints something is quite off, albeit that it might be a tribute to the film Back To The Future since they did introduce the hoverboard idea first. Secondly, skateboarder Tony Hawk is there, which is relatable since the hoverboard is practically a skateboard after all. Then there was Billy Zane, the bully in the BTTF film.

Though It’d like to believe that the hoverboard is real, but TechCrunch here pointed out that it might be a teaser for Back To The Future 4, which really does makes sense since they have the main characters from the film featured in this video. I guess we can only wait to tell if this is real or not.
I gotta say, to create something like this since its beginning as a summer project in 2010 is too good to be true.

New DDR4 World Record frequency updated to 7156MHz done with Kingston HyperX RAM module

Do you think DDR5 is fast? Well, DDR4 still has something to say about that as the latest world record has been broken and refreshed to a new top number.

Announced by Kingston, the latest world record frequency at 7156MHz was achieved using a setup of Intel Core i9-11900K, MSI MEG Z590I UNITY motherboard, and 8GB of Kingston HyperX Predator 4600MHz stick. Submission made by Kovan Yang, the overclocker from Taiwan, has been verified by CPU-Z validator alongside HWBOT which are 2 of the most used and trusted sites for overclocking results.
With DDR5 coming into the consumer market as early as next year, some enthusiast overclockers have done the deed to discover and challenge the maximum potential of the current DDR4 specification. Perhaps with generational leaps across various numbers as well as the integration of crucial features packed into DDR5, we could see explosive numbers that might as well make it into the 10000MHz zone? Well, only time will tell.

ASUS ROG launches Zephyrus S GX701 & STRIX GL12CX/GL10CS desktops with RTX

While we already have RTX-powered laptops (the ROG Strix SCAR II GL704 for example) but ASUS wants to step it up a notch. Remember the Zephyrus S that was launched not too long ago? Now, that laptop has gotten beefed up with RTX 2080 Max-Q.
With that, ASUS ROG is also launching two new desktops – the Strix GL10 and Strix GL12.

Let’s go through each of them one by one.
ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX701

Now beefed up with a massive 17-inch display, 144Hz and G-Sync support, the Zephyrus S GX701 has one of the most gaming-centric display ever. Also comes with thin bezels to match the sleekness too. It is also PANTONE validated, making it great for content creation too. The GX701 also supports NVIDIA Optimus, which means your battery life should be longer.

Of course, being a part of the Zephyrus series of laptop means that the Zephyrus S GX701 is the thinnest in its class. It has a 15.7-inch wide body and with an 18.7mm thin body.
It is now the one laptop that has the smallest footprint while packs a GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU. With RTX 20-series of graphics card comes NVIDIA’s exclusive features such as DLSS and real-time ray-tracing, the Zephyrus S GX701 can handle them all.

Like the 15-inch version of the Zephyrus S, it also comes with a trackpad that becomes a numpad with the touch of a button. The GX701 has one extra feature – the integrated volume roller which sits on the top left side of the keyboard. That is truly a handy addition.

Speaking of addition, every purchase of the Zephyrus S GX701 also comes with a webcam, called the ROG GC21. It is a 1080p 60fps external USB webcam which you can mount anywhere you like – on top of the laptop or on the table – it is up to you.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX701 is priced at RM13,999. Every purchase also comes with a mouse and also an ROG backpack, alongside with the GC21 webcam.
ROG Strix GL12CX
This desktop comes with 9th generation of Intel Core i9-9900K and with NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card as well. The overclockable CPU can be further tuned with the ROG Armoury Crate software too.

The overall proposition of the Strix GL12CX is actually a high-end desktop with the best hardware equipped into a single case. This case in particular is made specifically with the ROG design, as you can see that there are lines with streaks of RGB all over the place.

It also has a swappable 2.5-inch drive bay at the front for hot-swapping storage device as well. This is truly convenient as modern day PC cases have mostly forgotten the existence of hotswapping drives.

The price for the GC12CX starts from RM9,999 and goes up all the way to RM14,999.
ROG Strix GL10CS
Right below the GL12, we have the GL10. It brings the essentials of gaming with the ROG experience and delivers a “gaming powerhouse that won’t break the bank”.

It has a compact 27-liter case with futuristic armor design together with customizable Aura Sync RGB lighting that can be controlled via the Armoury Crate as well.
However, the GL10CS comes with a locked CPU – the Intel Core i7-8700. It is a very powerful CPU and is able to do a lot of heavy workloads such as gaming and video rendering as well.

It also comes with up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU which is still a very powerful GPU for hot modern day titles such as Fortnite, Overwatch, and also Apex Legends – especially for 1080p gaming.
The price for the GC10CS starts from RM2,699 and goes all the way up to RM5,499.

Review – Transcend ESD220C: Tiny, Light, Speedy

The niche market for portable SSDs has obviously grown since the last time we ever saw any external USB-based SSD here at Nasi Lemak Tech. I mean, why else other manufacturers like Apacer join the bandwagon? Transcend returns with another portable SSD – this time it’s called the Transcend ESD220C, and oh boy, it’s vastly different from the ESD400 that they had last time.
Here’s our full review of the Transcend ESD220C. Keep in mind that the unit we have here is the 128GB variant with the codename TS120GESD220C.

Unboxing

In terms of its packaging, Transcend maintained the same design language and layout throughout the entire box. There’s nothing out of Transcend’s ordinary here. It still has the same high-quality printing outside and has a two-part shell that holds the Transcend ESD220C in place.
This time around, Transcend has an interesting change on its product info that’s presented on the box itself. See this.

It’s explicitly highlighted as a USB 3.1 Gen 1 portable SSD – but what does it mean? Well – quite simple, actually. USB 3.1 Gen 1 is actually USB 3.0 SuperSpeed with a theoretical maximum transfer speed of 5Gb/s. I have no idea why it’s renamed to such a way, so don’t ask me. 😛

Digging everything out reveals the basic accessories expected to come along with an external storage device – some paperwork, product catalog, brochures, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and the Transcend ESD220C itself.

Design
Firstly, I thought the unit I got was a dud – merely because of its weightlessness. I thought it’ll be a little bit more heavy since the I am comparing its mass to an internal SSD’s weight. I was caught by surprise, and quickly searched for my electronic scale and have it weighed. My jaws dropped when I saw the scale.

1 of 2

33g only! And only 55g with the included cable! That’s impressive! No wonder I thought it was a dud – I have locked myself with this prejudice that an external storage should have a certain amount of heft to it. The Transcend ESD220C defied it!
Moving on to the textured plastic body of the Transcend ESD220C. It’s quite rough and has this scale-like structure all around the body except for the top and bottom. This definitely helps to prevent slippage from someone’s hands, but not from a table.

Aesthetically, it’s okay. Tiny, functional, and definitely doesn’t make itself eye-catching enough to be distracting.
Performance & Features
Since the Transcend ESD220C is essentially an SSD after all, we’re going to test it like one.  Just a quick recap here – the Transcend ESD220C is using USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C, which is essentially USB 3.0 Type-C with a theoretical limit of 5Gb/s. Starting off with the usual test here with Crystal Disk Mark.

Remarkable sequential read and write speeds indeed! Referring to the sequential read and write speeds, it’s not far off from SATA III-based SSDs, which hovers somewhere about 500~550MB/s.

Now for the ATTO Disk Benchmark. Again, the Transcend ESD220C is showing commendable SSD performance, even through USB 3.1 Gen 1. So I thought – why not copy some files and try out what the Transcend ESD220C can really handle. I threw in Windows 7 ISO file and saw the speeds soar through the charts.

Having about 340MB/s in real-world performance for a portable storage device? That’s just fantastic!
Features
Here comes the “external hard disk” part. Transcend again includes their signature software for the Transcend ESD220C, notably the Elite Data Management software and RecoverRX. They work the same as the 25C3N that we’ve reviewed here. Pretty neat.
Of course, the Transcend ESD220C has another added functionality too – the little backup button at the top. This button can instantly backup and sync your data when used with Transcend Elite Data Management software. Again – pretty neat. I wouldn’t want to manually copy my files to and fro constantly – so having a little button that I can easily press and have everything done for me? That sounds perfect!

Oh – these two softwares are free too.
Wrapping up the Transcend ESD220C review
I have to highlight one thing before giving you my closing thoughts. From what I can find, the price of the 128GB variant of the Transcend ESD220C costs a whooping RM 360. Certainly, the Transcend ESD220C is not for everyone – but if you really need the speediest portable external storage device, then the Transcend ESD220C can really fit into your workflow perfectly.

Samsung commits way less plastic for the Galaxy S20 packaging than you think

Have you thought about where do the plastic wrappings or protective sleeves go after you’ve ripped them off carefully from your device and thrown into the dust bin? Chances are they are going to get dumped into heaps of undecomposable trash and not getting a single bit of care afterward.
To minimize the chances of letting you commit such a small yet impactful decision, Samsung has put a tremendous amount of work when designing the packaging for the Samsung Galaxy S20. The Design Team members Mogwon Son and Yoonyoung Kim has given us an insight on how they tackle the green environment issue over the years through an exclusive interview. Let’s see how they did it.

Cutting off a little bit of everything spells huge returns

The whole idea of green packaging actually starts off during the Galaxy S3 era where it was the first device to feature recycled material in its packaging. Subsequent releases such as the S4 and S5 included more such as discarded paper, biodegradable vinyl, and petroleum-free soy ink.
Mogwon Son also discussed how Samsung equipped last year’s Galaxy S10 with eco-friendly packaging consisting of FSC-certified paper boxes, as well as plastic and vinyl-free interior components.

“We abandoned the holder tray and the box-covering sleeve, but kept the bottom box, which includes an all-in-one pulp mold which utilizes pulp slurry made from bamboo fibers and sugarcane bagasse, is better for the environment, and helps minimize waste.”

Sustainability? Style? Why not both?
The Galaxy S series is the flagship smartphone lineup for Samsung Electronics and has such an impact ever since its introduction that the company strives to build a premium packaging design with recycled materials presented some unique challenges that involve durability, aesthetics, and suitability for mass production. No matter what everyone else says, they did it anyway.

The pulp mold is one of the very first problems they have tackled. Color application is difficult due to the use of vastly different recycled materials that would cause them to appear reddish or blue initially, not to mention the surface is curved and rough that requires repeating layers of paint to achieve a clean and black hue.

 In the end, we wanted to offer a better experience with paper packaging than users would have with plastic or vinyl. This is why we chose to accentuate the soft texture of the pulp material itself, and devoted a great deal of effort to refining the packaging’s exterior.

Not only has the team’s hard work made Samsung’s packaging more sustainable, but it’s also made it that much more convenient.
Giving plastic waste another life through the phone case
The Galaxy S20’s Kvadrat case may look like the run-of-the-mill stylish phone case that is decently durable to protect the device from wear and tear but do you know a single 500ml plastic bottle can be made into 2 of these?

Such impressive upcycling technology is made possible through the collaboration with Kvadrat, an environmentally conscious company that has obtained the European Union’s famously rigorous Ecolabel certification, dates back to 2018. We’ve talked a little about this Kvadrat cases in the past.
The project’s lead designer, Yoonyoung Kim, explained how she arranged to meet with Kvadrat prior to attending an overseas furniture exhibition, and surely, love, at first sight, happened straight away when she felt the textiles on display.

But durability is key when it comes to smartphone cases. Not only it needs to be thin but drop-resistant as well. Kim and developers eventually found a way to prevent the case’s knitted fabric from unraveling at its edges and further optimizing the manufacturing process that produces an exquisite product with the Kvadrat logo that matches the growing trend of global fashion targeting shunning leather and polyurethane-coated materials in favor of more environmentally conscious alternatives.

When compared to typical synthetic polyester yarns, the recycled yarns used in this case are less uniform in diameter, and they’re so delicate that it’s difficult to weave them into elaborate patterns, which requires a careful and exacting finishing process and oing green is not a fad – it’s a global shift in perception, and the mission of all manufacturers. Therefore, we cannot stop here. Through our ongoing partnership with Kvadrat, we will continue to create innovative accessory designs that combine expressive patterns and colors with optimum usability.

Both designers are taking a step-by-step approach of enforcing the importance of green technology, knowingly such big ambitions need to start off from the most detailed and unnoticed gestures, and initiating the transition can be tough and sticking through until the end can be even more difficult.
Both of them are optimistic about the future of the green effort and will continue to work hard to push this movement across the industry and make the world a better place for everyone. As a side note, they are both surprised at the fact that recycled materials can be a source of natural and beautiful colors that were previously thought to be possible only with delicate natural fibers.
Grab the full interview here courtesy of Samsung Malaysia.
Samsung is not the only company that commits to green packaging and shipping. Dell also made a stance and has been doing the same as well with what is called “ocean plastic”.
By using plastics obtained from the ocean and recycling them to make product packaging, Dell aims to keep the global watery continents as clean and healthy as possible while saving aquatic lives as well. But as always, keeping the environment safe and easy always starts from us so let’s not forget to be green in our daily lives too.

Samsung made a new type of memory chip with direct AI integration, the HBM-PIM module

Another innovative breakthrough in the digital memory technology field, Samsung has announced the newly developed High Bandwidth Memory chip with direct artificial intelligence (AI) integration.

Using the new Processing-In-Memory architecture as opposed to traditional Von Neumann where processor and memory are fitted apart, Samsung is able to address the current memory bandwidth and power challenges by packing a DRAM-optimized AI engine inside each memory bank with parallel processing capabilities, eliminating the needs to move unnecessary data across storage, processor and volatile memory. Paired with Samsung’s own BM2 Aquabolt solution, test results have shown more than 2x the performance with less energy consumption of over 70%.
Samsung is apparently working together with many currently deployed HPC and AI computing architectures and infrastructures and hopes to bring this technology to an extensive and broad adaptation to the mobile sector where each and every piece of ubiquitous hardware could utilize this piece of useful tech. A full validation process is expected to be completed by participating partners within the first half of 2021.
While this is certainly interesting to see, but with additional hardware implanted into memory banks that means it is going to be more expensive than ever and as being one of its kind currently, it is going to take some time for the industry to adapt and drive this technology into maturity. But hey, at least it is something new and money can buy down the line.

Review – Innergie PowerGear 60C USB-C Power Adapter: Small, lightweight, powerful

For many of us laptop users who use a single machine between multiple places, I can reassure you that many of us have experienced the time where we forgot to take the power adapter with us. As everyone is done on smartphones and computers (particularly laptops) these days, a power adapter is very important. The Innergie PowerGear 60C is here to replace your power adapter with its small and powerful yet lightweight form factor.
Today thanks to Innergie Malaysia, we have the Innergie PowerGear 60C USB-C power adapter and also its accessory, the MagiCable 150 laptop adapter.

Unboxing
Let us first take a look at the packaging. The Innergie PowerGear 60C here has a simple design that works very well. It shows you the power adapter itself and highlights the features instantly – universal compatibility, swappable travel plugs, and 92% energy efficiency.

Opening up the box reveals the accessories compartment covered by the eye-catching blue color.

Digging out everything, you have the Innergie PowerGear 60C adapter itself with the three swappable plugs (UK, US, Europe) and the USB-C to USB-C cable.

I do wish that Innergie included a pouch to store all of these things, though.

As for the MagiCable 150 laptop adapter (which is sold separately), is a USB-C to different types of laptop power adapters. Innergie has included a total of 6 different tips in this accessory pack, and is compatible with ASUS, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, and HP as stated at the back of the packaging.

The MagiCable 150 itself comes with the cable and also 6 tips only. If it doesn’t fit your laptop, then you can request for a tip that fits your laptop through the free tip program. Click here to learn more.

Design
I want to make a point here to say that I don’t really bother about the overall build quality. The material feels abut the same as MacBook power adapters. However, the Innergie PowerGear 60C is much smaller than the MacBook power adapter.

We have a comparison here between the Apple MacBook Pro (2016) power adapter with the Innergie PowerGear 60C. Obviously, the Innergie PowerGear 60C is much smaller and easier to take around. Lighter, too.

Remember when we said that the Innergie PowerGear 60C comes with 3 different plugs? Swapping them is easy as you just simply twist and it is installed right away. There is no right or wrong way either – if it’s twisted and secured, it works right away. Brilliant design!

The MacBook power adapter on the other hand, is quite troublesome as you have to forcefully push the plug apart – but there is no point in doing that as Apple does not include other plugs.

Then comes the cable itself. The new MacBook comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable with nothing in between – and that is okay. The cable that comes with the Innergie PowerGear 60C on the other hand, has a ferrite core to prevent electromagnetic interference.

The MagiCable 150 on the other hand, comes with a USB-C cable that converts to the whatever laptop jack you need. This cable also comes with a ferrite core.

In case none of these tips fit on your laptop, remember that they have something called the free tip program. You can request for the specific tip that works with your laptop by clicking on this link.

Overall design wise, I like how the Innergie PowerGear 60C and the MagiCable 150 are designed. Though, I do wish that a pouch was included so that everything can be stored and carried easily.
Testing the Innergie PowerGear 60C
According to the packaging itself, Innergie claims to be able to output a maximum of these amounts of currents according to the voltages, with a maximum output of 60W:

5V 3A
9V 3A
12V 3A
15V 3A
20V 3A

Our testing methodology here is a little unconventional. We have 3 sets of tests and we use the Innergie PowerGear 60C to compare against the product’s included charger. We have these devices to test with:

MacBook Pro (2016) with touch bar
Samsung Galaxy S10+
Xiaomi Mi 9
Redmi Note 7

After obtaining all of the data, we plot these 3 graphs to compare the charger’s performance.
Innergie PowerGear 60C vs. Apple MacBook Pro (2016) original charger.
As shown above, the Innergie PowerGear 60C performs just as well as the included charger in each of the product. It is even slightly faster than the original Apple charger! Let’s not forget that this is a tiny, portable, and has multiple different swappable plugs.
Innergie PowerGear 60C vs. Xiaomi Mi 9 stock charger.
For the case of the Xiaomi Mi 9, the PowerGear 60C is competing against a certified Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 charger. The graph above shows that the PowerGear 60C is compatible with QuickCharge 3.0 as well.
Innergie PowerGear 60C vs. Redmi Note 7 stock charger.
The Redmi Note 7 is the only anomaly I encountered in this test as for some reason, the PowerGear 60C is significantly faster than its bundled charger, but not by much.
Innergie PowerGear 60C vs. Samsung Galaxy S10+ stock charger.
The PowerGear 60C can also handle Samsung’s proprietary 15W charging standard as well.
Wrapping up the Innergie PowerGear 60C + MagiCable 150 review
By no doubt, the Innergie PowerGear 60C is a tiny little power adapter that is very portable, travel-friendly, and most importantly – versatile. The performance is just as advertised and performing just like any other bundled charger – if not better.

For the price of RM273 for the Innergie PowerGear 60C or at $109 at Amazon, it is very worth the price. It can handle multiple different voltages and currents, thus support Qualcomm’s QuickCharge 3.0 too. Still, I wish that they have an included pouch to store and carry everything.
The Innergie MagiCable 150 is priced at RM62 or at $19.99 at Amazon, it is a reasonable price. With this accessory, you can charge your ultrabook without any issue.

I created a dual-screen laptop with this accessory – Mobile Pixels DUEX Plus review!

Doing work on a laptop sucks. The screen size ties into the price, weight, and performance that you’re going to get. Do you want a 17.3-inch screen? Then you’re going to get a big, bulky gaming laptop with lots of performance that is mostly aimed towards gamers only. Do you want something small and portable? Then have fun squinting at the screen if you want to do large Excel sheets.
Introducing the Mobile Pixels DUEX. This is a fantastic piece of accessory for your laptop and I am absolutely loving this. It is kind of like a portable monitor that is attached to a sliding mechanism that is magnetically attached to the back of your laptop’s lid. Watch our video here to find out about the unboxing and installation process.

I just want to add a few more points in addition to the video. I have since moved the entire setup a little higher as the DUEX Plus’s hinge mechanism is slightly thicker and it will hit the desk. This is also due to the thinness of the MacBook Pro, so you might not encounter this issue at all.

There are other sizes of the DUEX as well, ranging from 12.5-inch, 13.3-inch, and 14.1-inch in diagonal measurement.

While the DUEX grants you another display to use, there is yet another Mobile Pixels Trio that grants you two more screens to use. That’s certainly going to make your laptop not as portable as before – but imagine the number of screens you can use.
Again, for the purchase links – here they are.
Where to buy?

Directly from Mobile Pixels themselves
Amazon US
Lazada
Shopee

Kingston FURY Impact DDR5 SODIMM is ready to buff up your laptops and small form factor PCs

Kingston had announced the release of the hotly anticipated FURY Impact DDR5 SODIMM, which is available in Malaysia starting today.

The FURY Impact DDR5 SODIMM is designed to improve performance in areas such as gaming, rendering, multitasking, and more, all while keeping power consumption and efficiency in check thanks to all the new tech and lower voltage requirements. It also provides a maximum increase of 50% over DDR4 while preserving its iconic size.

It is revealed that the latencies are actually CL38 (38-38-38) while we look through the details. Therefore, users are encouraged to check with the respective manufacturer in order to harness its full capability, though it is safe to assume that the higher-end workstation laptops should have no issues utilizing them.
 Available in capacities ranging from 8GB to 64GB, it automatically supports 4800MT/s at lower latency over the standard DDR5-4800 and comes with official Intel XMP 3.0 certification, allowing you to fine-tune every setting available to you without compromising data integrity or overall stability.

Samsung rumoured to be testing three Galaxy Note III designs, TecTiles incompatible with Galaxy S IV

Let’s just say that yesterday was quite like a double treat from Samsung with all the news blasting around the Internet.

First off, Samsung’s next Galaxy Note III flagship phone is already rumoured to be in field-test – with three separate designs, maybe one with a better build quality, or maybe another with a flexible display, as HTC made Samsung to worry about the build quality of their phones.
They might be testing different combinations of build materials here, or maybe just seeking for the most cost-effective. In either way though, the purely plastic-made Galaxy flagship phone might have light shed on it after all and I just hope that they’ll have enough time to manufacture all the materials in time, not like the tragedy that doomed the Galaxy S IV.
Then onwards with another news related to the Galaxy Note III is the specs that are rumoured, as source claimed that the upcoming flagship phone will feature a humongous 5.99-inch display, Samsung’s very own Exynos 5 Octa processor that is running on 2.0GHz and also a generous 3GB RAM.

In another news, Samsung’s very own NFC sticker called TecTiles isn’t compatible with the new Galaxy S IV. You might wonder why and the answer is : Samsung actually shot themselves on the feet.
As NFC is standardized across devices, peripherals and whatnot, its predecessor, the Galaxy S III did not follow the standard, making their TecTiles a proprietary sticker. However, Samsung said the new TecTiles 2 will be available soon to fix everything.
Samsung also offered a official statement to AnandTech, saying :

“Samsung is introducing TecTile 2, an update to the original TecTile NFC programmable tags, which will be available in the coming weeks. TecTile 2 will use the current NFC technology on the market, allowing Samsung customers to further incorporate NFC into their daily lives and to use with the latest Samsung Mobile products and services, including the Galaxy S 4. As industry standards continue to evolve, Samsung remains committed to meeting those standards and adapting its technologies if necessary. Samsung customers can also fully utilize TecTiles 2 with existing Samsung Mobile NFC-enabled Android smartphones currently in market.”
-Samsung

A little more news is that these TecTiles – specifically recently manufactured ones – actually works with the Galaxy S IV, so make sure you check it first before buying any more TecTiles!

Data leaked from JPN and MySejahtera surfaces online through easy to use website

One might think that sensitive data such as personal bio, detailed information, and perhaps bank card numbers will only appear in places like the dark web where illegal stuff happens. That is true to an extent but it is about to change because apparently, data belonging to Malaysians are out and about in the wild right now. Again.

We have a fucking situation.
There’s an OSINT tool already out in the clearnet thats using the leaked Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara database. I just tried it out and holy fuck we are screwed.
I wasn’t even looking for anyone specific and I’m already finding nombor anggota.
— Cyber Guardian 💕 (@Radz1112) June 11, 2022

Following the post made by Twitter user @Radz1112, an open-source intelligence tool that is accessible by, mind you, anyone, can search out any Malaysian’s personal info including IC number, address, phone number, and voting details as well as transportation-related data like vehicle ownership history, JPJ summons, and police summons history.
The website also offers info stolen from our good old friend MySejahtera and according to Says, additional details can be obtained with a fee as low as USD $1.50 used as an example for unlocking the name and carrier information for a specific phone number.
If you value your own information, you can pay them 10 stacks (1 stack = USD1,000) and upgrade to the highest tier and there’s also a “remove my information” option for you. Neat user service preference, I must say.

Saya dah senaraikan maklumat yang seseorang boleh dapat berdasarkan sumber.
Yang paling merisaukan adalah maklumat MySejahtera pun ada, tapi kena bayar. pic.twitter.com/bH2OwLbyfs
— Cyber Guardian 💕 (@Radz1112) June 12, 2022

Now, you’ll be right to guess that the website actually queries up a database that was leaked out from JPN a few weeks back but Radz1112’s fated meeting with the Twitter account is more like a coincidence as he is browsing through some local open-source intelligence community and stumbled across a suspicious Twitter account.
Hitting up some history cleanup and the “sussy baka” account seems to be dormant around the 2011 period but started to tweet about the website recently. However, this is as far as he could dig up.

Although at the time being, the site is dead with no information or public announcement of the takedown, it still shows that someone is holding these data and waiting to make a big fat cash win without caring for consequences. And this could be just the beginning as there are already multiple breaches happening around the country involving the MITI website and lumpsum databases available for sale.
Worst of all, Home Affairs Minister Dato Seri Hamzah Zainuddin is denying the data comes from JPN while Defense Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein calls for believing in Malaysia’s intelligence agencies. Well done, our “elected” representatives.
Look, I get it, preventing public panic is one thing, but the problem won’t just go away if all you do is give assurance without solving who’s behind the syndicate. You might be able to do that for calming the non-tech-savvy people out there but if this sort of thing is allowed to happen continuously, don’t @ me when your minister’s own info and card details get in the mix.

realme X2 Pro comes at RM2,399

Introducing, the latest disruptor in the flagship smartphone market. Known to offer great price at an affordable price, realme is set to disrupt the high-end market now with the latest realme X2 Pro.
We have already gotten the opportunity to review the realme X2 Pro before the launch date. We have already unboxed it, and you can watch it here.

As for the specs, the realme X2 Pro shocked everyone. It is literally the OnePlus 7 but on steroids and yet at a lower price. That’s surprising!

6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with waterdrop notch

2400×1080 pixels in resolution
90Hz refresh rate

Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ chipset
12GB LPDDR4X RAM
256GB of internal storage (UFS 3.0)
Quad rear-facing cameras

Main: 64MP f/1.8 with PDAF
Telephoto: 13MP f/2.5 with PDAF, 2x optical zoom
Ultrawide angle: 8MP f/2.2 with PDAF
Depth sensor

Android 9.0 Pie with ColorOS 6.1
4,000mAh battery

Comes with SuperVOOC charger

We can’t find most of that hardware unless we are willing to fork out a lot of cash. However, realme is doing us a favor here as its specs at a much more affordable price. And yet, it comes with the Samsung-powered GW1 64MP camera sensor too!

The most surprising hardware of the realme X2 Pro is going to be the SuperVOOC as it is a 50W charger, and is able to charge the phone to 100% in just 30 minutes. That is impressive – and I honestly think more smartphones need to have such a technology.
The realme X2 Pro is definitely going up against other gaming smartphones of this generation, like the OnePlus 7/7T series and also the Black Shark 2 Pro. Its price of RM2,399 makes it competitive as well since it is either equal or lower than the other premium gaming phone’s price.

Our review of the realme X2 Pro will be published tonight at midnight – so be on the lookout for that!
And by the way – the realme X2 Pro will also be available in this magnificent red color variant. It is the realme X2 Pro Master Edition, and we will have to stay tuned to realme Malaysia’s Facebook Page for more updates on this variant.
The realme X2 Pro will be avialable for pre-order this 5th December 2019 at 12am on Lazada. You can chup dulu and receive 3 free gifts:

The New Google Maps preview

I think most of you here must have used Google Maps at least twice in their lifetime. You might be familiar with this, the old Google Maps. Equipped with a simple search interface. The right side is where you browse the world while the left panel is where all the information is displayed.
Google is now going for the ‘seamless’ interface. Meaning, everything is going to be in one place, the map. Yes, everything now are not going to be displayed in sections or parts. Your search results will appear on the map itself, giving you a full 100% view of the map while getting information without having to look away from the map. Everything is beautiful with the flipping and fluid transition animations that lets you know what truly is going on while you interact with it.

          Results are show on the map
This means that your search will be a lot more easier and efficient. You can also use the [item],[place] format such as ‘food, Cyberjaya’. Though this is only the suggested format – the search function got a little more close to our natural English language. You can even type things like “McDonald’s near Cyberjaya” and it’ll show you on the map itself!

There are certain places where you can jump right into a building where someone submitted their photosphere. Being an entire crowd-sourced picture map now, the images can ensure accuracy to a certain degree.

Google Maps 3D in Malaysia also works for the vector maps only, and the 3D satellite images doesn’t work yet. Street View… still no hope yet. Even turn-by-turn navigation is not up yet. I find it funny that only KLCC, Pavillion KL and the KL Tower has 3D vector mapping but not the other landmarks. KL Tower and KLCC is understandable, but Pavillion KL? Not even Midvalley Megamall has 3D vector map yet. And oh – the Giant Hypermarket I pass by every morning is still shown as a blank piece of road on Google Maps’s earth mode, though labelled as Giant.
You can try it out now earlier than anyone else by getting an invitation from Google, here.

OPPO F9 – Here’s What We Know So Far

We have multiple teasers from OPPO about the upcoming OPPO F9, and there are a few notable features that you should know about. Here are the details that are confirmed about the upcoming OPPO F9.
Launch date – 16th August
OPPO Malaysia has already announced the grand launching date and time and how you can watch it online via live stream. It’s happening on the 16th August at 3.50pm.

For O-fans who will be tuning in to the grand launching of the OPPO F9, remember to share the live video and stand a chance to win the brand new OPPO F9 too!
That’s not all – the famous Taiwanese singer Eric Chou representing the “young and daring”, whereas Malaysia’s icon, Neelofa, will be portraying the “high fashion and confidence” lifestyles. Both Eric Chou and Neelofa are confirmed to attend the OPPO F9’s press conference as well.

Other influencers from the past will make a return too – including Min Chen, Hebe Tien, and Zahirah McWilson.
OPPO F9 supports VOOC charging
OPPO was the first one to ever come out with literally high-powered charging for their smartphones and last you a few hours with just a few minutes of charging. The OPPO VOOC Flash Charge will be making a comeback to the F-series after the long hiatus.

OPPO is touting 2 hours of talk time with just 5 minutes of charge. The OPPO VOOC Flash Charging is using a high-powered 5V 4A charger with a proprietary cable to prevent any bottlenecking.
From our previous test with OPPO smartphones that has VOOC Flash charge, it’s seriously insanely fast yet both the device and the charger are cool to the touch. That’s amazing.
First F-series to have dual rear-facing cameras
In lieu of last year’s hype of dual-camera smartphones, OPPO’s F-series of smartphones were a little late to the party. Now, single rear-facing camera does not automatically mean it’s bad. We discussed about dual rear-facing cameras a lot here. However, since it only has one single camera, the flexibility is limited. No optical zoom or wide-angle shots.

Now, the OPPO F9 is the first ever F-series smartphone to have a dual rear-facing camera configuration. It has a 16MP + 2MP camera setup.
The 16MP camera will be the one taking pictures whereas the 2MP camera will be gathering data like depth. With two separate cameras, the smartphone can have a better perception of depth and thus creating better bokeh pictures.
25MP AI Beauty 2.1 selfies
OPPO has confirmed the 25MP selfie camera that has AI Beauty 2.1 that is enhanced with AI selfie technology. It enables you to preview the beautified photo before taking the shot, and also to change your facial features as you wish. It even has OPPO F9 Sensor HDR that creates vivid photos while controlling the exposure.
3 more design aspects
We got our hands on the first look at the OPPO F9 here. It has a waterdrop screen design which is an interesting twist to the notched displays that we’ve seen this year. It also has diamond underglass pattern that creates beautiful reflections of light.

These are the information that we know about the OPPO F9 now. We’ll be attending the press conference on 16th August, and then we’ll know the price and the complete specs list of the brand new OPPO F9.

OPPO INNO DAY 2020 shows off new rollable phone concept, AR Glass and AR application

So, the OPPO INNO DAY 2020 happened a few days ago in Shenzhen. With the “Leap into the Future” theme, the expo shows off some of the most innovative concept techs to date and the company’s take on a smart ubiquitous environment through the “3+N+X” strategy.
In short, the 3 stands for “Hardware, Software, Services” and the N represents features and capabilities provided by OPPO’s ecosystem such as AI, security, multimedia, interconnectivity, and more with the X referring to the leading-edge and differentiated technologies and strategic resources such as the flash charge technology.

1 of the most interesting concept devices shown off at the expo is the OPPO X 2021 rollable concept handset that realizes the dream of flexible displays and takes it to the next level. Instead of being foldable like the Galaxy Z Fold 2 or Z Flip, this one rolls out extra screen estate on the side through the proprietary Warp Track mechanism that features a motor and 2-in-1 plate.

According to reports, the adjustment is fully customizable depending on the user’s need and the actual task being executed.

Next up, the OPPO AR Glass 2021 lets you take a deep dive into the digital world. Being compact and ultra-light that is built with Birdbath optical solution, it features a combination of sensors such as a stereo fisheye camera which is capable of tracking a single hand by making 21 key joints as markers, a ToF sensor, and an RGB camera to bring you an immersive and interactive experience through a variety of ways such as via smartphone, gesture, and precision 3-dimensional spatial location tracking.
Several consumer-focused application is already in the works, such as movies, streaming, games, home, video shooting, and more which all can be controlled through voice recognition.

Last but not least, the CybeReal AR application uses real-time, spatial calculation technology to build and localize the surrounding with high precision to reconstruct the world down to centimeters accuracy that is also supported by several techs working together, including OPPO Cloud and the device’s Wi-Fi, BlueTooth and GPS. Moreover, the AI algorithm will know what items it is currently trying to build within the AR environment which provides even greater details and authenticity to the end product.
With this much innovative stuff targeted for a possible release next year, what are your thoughts about them, especially the OPPO X Rollable concept? Will it be as costly as Samsung and Huawei’s foldable counterparts? Let us know what you think!
