Apple WWDC22: Latest version macOS Ventura provides utmost productivity via new tools and Continuity feature

macOS users are in for a treat as Apple revealed the latest macOS Ventura over at the WWDC22 yearly conference that promises to deliver unmatched productivity. Let’s get into what’s new and exciting.

First thing first, the stage lights are blasting towards the latest kid in the studio, the Stage Manager feature. Coming in to literally be a manager of software, it automatically organizes open apps and windows so that users can concentrate on their current work while still seeing everything else in a single glance.
Aside from properly arranging things, users can also now group windows together in cases where a project requires different apps to work with. Properly integrated with existing macOS functions like Mission Control and Spaces, you can now navigate to your desktop with just a single click.

Now we’re talking. The Continuity Camera essentially turns your iPhone into a webcam that unlocks additional functions that were never seen on macOS before. Examples like Center Stage, Portrait Mode, and Studio Lights are all usable from the get-go. Additionally, the Ultra-Wide camera can be utilized by Desk View which shows the camera and desktop in a single setting which is great for live streaming.
All in all, everything else is connected wireless and smartly so you don’t even need to wake your iPhone. To touch it all up, macOS Ventura is now part of the seamless FaceTime transition Handoff to allow hitchless conversations.

macOS Ventura also brings out the “sharing is caring” spirit by allowing shared Tab Groups to be browsed together within Safari where engagement is just a key tap away from Messages, FaceTime calls, or a simple shared Start Page. Meanwhile, Mail has its underhood revamped to be more relevant and accurate with several Quality-of-Life checks added in as well such as canceling an email after hitting Send, attachment detection and reminder, and even automatic follow-up suggestions to prior emails.

To allow more extensive management, Messages on the Mac can now be edited or undo, marked as unread, or recovered in the case of accidental deletes while collaborations are simplified down to an agreement and participants will be quickly grouped where files and clipboards can be pasted by drag and drop action. If needed, the SharePlay sessions can be your part of the collaboration effort as well.

The updated design is crossing into Spotlight as well to match a more consistent experience across multiple form factors of Apple devices where users can now find images in their photo library, across the system, and on the web. They can even search for their photos by location, people, scenes, or objects, and Live Text lets them search by text inside images. Generally speaking, it is the one hub you need to get everything done, and it is now better than ever.

Similar to iOS 16, the iCloud Shared Photo Library can now hosts 6 family members’ worth of treasured memories, separately for clean filing, or be placed into the Shared Library to have everyone add, delete, edit, or favorite the photos and videos.

After all these years, Apple is finally confident and open about running triple-A titles with the Apple Silicon. From GRID Legends to Resident Evil Village, there’s more to be coming because the penultimate translation layer, Metal 3, is packed with stuff to make Mac Gaming great again. Through MetalFX Upscaling, devs can apply resolution scaling and temporal anti-aliasing with fewer frames while the new Fast Resource Loading API basically shortens the pathway for data to move from storage to the GPU.
Here are some other nits and grits to be noted.

Stronger security protection
System Preferences renamed to System Settings for consistency
Weather and Clock app optimized
Accessibility tools now include Live Captions for all audio content, Type to Speak on calls, Text Checker, and more

The full announcement of macOS Ventura can be viewed here.

New fully digital pharmacy service LTM launched by HealthMetrics

Homegrown healthcare and wellness management platform HealthMetrics recently announced a new e-pharmacy service, Long Term Medication (LTM), that is fully digital with an enhanced in-patient module.
With digital transformation reaching more business sectors and technology revolution often happens in the medical equipment subcategory, LTM is one of the early adopters that allows Malaysians to access healthcare solutions at a moment’s notice that is more comprehensive and streamlined.

As a side note, for those with greater technology talents within their company, they are able to integrate HealthMetric’s features through an API gateway made available for existing and popular HRIS systems without completely adapting to a new programming environment. Companies that went full digital are able to utilize and absorb the platform without too much trouble.
Access to LTM
As of now, LTM isn’t as publicly ready as it is only available now as a Business-to-Business (B2B) offering for companies to get into so it requires fellow Malaysian workers to let the respective HR department get in contact with HealthMetric and set up the system with full access to the platform. The platform and contact for this service can be found here.

Huawei shows off EMUI 10 user interface

We have reviewed numerous phones from both Huawei and HONOR, and they’re both using the EMUI skin on top of Android. We have reviewed many phones from both the companies and we are also very vocal about how EMUI 9 looks and feels. With that said, the latest EMUI 10 has been unveiled and we also got a first look at it.
Apologies for this horrendous video with inaudible noises and shaky video – this video file was sent to our email and we couldn’t find where the video was originally uploaded to, so we uploaded to our own YouTube channel instead.

In general, the new EMUI 10 looks like just a facelift from EMUI 9. It just looks aesthetically more modern overall and seems to have been inspired by Samsung’s One UI to some extent – particularly the quick settings menu from the notification bar and also the larger title on each system app.

Other than that, it seems like the user experience of the EMUI 10 is pretty similar to EMUI 9 as the button placements are similar.

It also seems like the user experience of the camera app is identical to EMUI 9 but with a slider to change between camera modes and with larger fonts overall.

We have to wait until EMUI 10 has arrived at Huawei and HONOR phones and until we got a chance to test it out. While it’s difficult to judge via that horrendous video alone, it seems like a facelift more than an overhaul on the user interface to provide a better experience.
Also, there’s finally a system-wide dark mode in EMUI 10. Wasn’t this supposed to be a feature in Android 9.0 Pie by default?

There’s really nothing wrong with the current user experience of the EMUI skin – just not that appealing when compared to others in the market and it can be messy sometimes.

Epson Moverio – Google Glass Alternative

Just after a few months of the early release of Google Glass, it has made competitors such as one from the Chinese search engine company.

Epson Moverio is supposed to be a personal display device but developers at APX labs can’t resist to turn it into something more. The device is more bulky than the polished Google Glass but it has everything Google Glass can do. It is equipped with a camera, nine-axis motion sensor and a microphone which can input motion gesture and voice controls.
They are now developing a new system – Northstar. It is more like a Virtual reality program in which you can interact with certain digital points or objects to access their AR content.
Live video feed is a must! This device can share recorded videos or even stream live feed for your friends(or agents) to see.
Hopefully, there will be more “glass” product produced in the near future just like our variety of Android phones. Of course, without the numerous different operating systems which contributes to fragmentation.

Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 arrives; priced at RM799 & RM1199

Yes, we know. The Samsung Galaxy M20 was just launched this morning and here it is – two more smartphones from Samsung but targeting at a completely different audience in the market. Introducing Samsung’s latest reimagining of the A series, the Galaxy A30 and also the Galaxy A50.
Funny enough, they are running the new One UI but it does not have the Bixby button. In turn, Samsung has the option to change the power button to become the Bixby shortcut, and the power button is moved into the notification panel.

This is true for both the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50.
Also, they have triple card slots – two for nano SIM and one more for microSD. By the way – if you are wondering about Samsung Pay or IP68 rating – the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 does not have any of them.
Both the Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 will be available starting 22nd March 2019.
Samsung Galaxy A30

Here comes the budget-oriented Galaxy A30 which is actually quite similar to the Galaxy M20 that was launched this morning. Although, there are a few core differences. Here are the list of specs of the Galaxy A30:

6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with 2340×1080 pixels in resolution

Infinity-U notch

Exynos 7904 chipset

Mali-G71 MP2 GPU

4GB RAM
64GB internal storage; expandable with dedicated microSD card slot
Dual rear-facing cameras

16MP f/1.7 main camera with PDAF
5MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera

16MP f/2.0 selfie camera
4,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging (USB-C)
Android 9.0 Pie with Samsung One UI

The Galaxy A30 in particular is actually quite similar with the Galaxy M20 in terms of core specs. However, the cameras on the Galaxy A30 are obviously better in terms of hardware, and also has Android 9.0 Pie with Samsung’s new One UI software.

The other big difference here is that the Galaxy A30 is Samsung’s mid-range lowest price smartphone that has a Super AMOLED display. Now that is impressive.

The Galaxy A30 is available in black, white, and blue colors. It has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage at the priced of RM799.
Galaxy A50

Scaling up in the series is the new Galaxy A50. It comes with much better hardware overall, and here is the specs list:

6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with 2340×1080 pixels in resolution

Infinity-U notch

Exynos 9610

4x Cortex-A73 @ 2.3GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 @1.6GHz
 Mali-G72 MP3 GPU

Up to 6GB LPDDR4X RAM
64GB internal storage; expandable with microSD card
Triple rear-facing cameras

Main camera: 25MP f/1.7 with PDAF
Ultrawide angle camera: 8MP f/2.2
Depth sensor: 5MP f/2.2

25MP f/2.0 selfie camera
4,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging (USB-C)
Android 9.0 Pie with Samsung One UI

In terms of performance, we expect that the Exynos 9610 is similar to the Snapdragon 660 that we are familiar with, though Samsung has the edge on the power efficiency battle as the Exynos 9610 is fabricated with 10nm manufacturing process.

Combined with Samsung’s One UI – which I personally am using and love it a lot, the Galaxy A50 is actually looking to be a major contender in this price range of smartphones.

The Samsung Galaxy A50 is available in black, white, and blue color options. We Malaysians can purchase the Galaxy A50 with 6GB RAM + 128Gb storage at the price of RM1,199. That is a truly competitive price.

[UPDATE] ASUS Announces Android 8.0 Oreo Release Dates For ZenFone 3 Series

Android 8.0 has been out for quite some time – and the upcoming Android P preview is already out too. ASUS isn’t the fastest when it comes to updates – in fact, it’s really slow. Back during the ASUS ZenFone 4 launch in Taiwan last August, there were a few slides that promised Android 8.0 Oreo updates for the ZenFone 3 family of smartphones. Now, ASUS is delivering that promise.

It has just announced that the ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and ZenFone 3 Zoom will all be tasting Oreo with Android 8.0 update that’s coming this month. Yes – ASUS themselves said that the updates are releasing for all of these 3 phones by the end of this month.
In case you haven’t already know, ASUS does their FOTA updates a little strangely. They are usually slow to release new major updates – like from Nougat to Oreo – but they really improve and stabilize the existing version of Android that they’re using.

Series Model

Model No.

Android 8.0 Oreo Release Period

ZenFone 3 Laser
ZC551KL
End-March 2018

ZenFone 3 Deluxe
ZS550KL
Mid-March 2018

ZenFone 3 Zoom
ZE553KL
End-March 2018

For me personally, I’m still using the ZenFone 3 Zoom from when we’ve reviewed it here initially. I still love the phone for its battery life, and I’m just anxiously waiting for the Android 8.0 upgrade to arrive.
End of March isn’t that far away either – today is already the 14th, considered “mid-March”.
Also, to check when an update is released, go have a look at ZenTalk here where all the FOTA updates and changelogs are posted. There are also giveaways and contests where you can win phones, accessories, and Zenny merchandises!

[UPDATE]: ZenFone 3 Zoom Oreo update delayed!
As many of you may know, the Android 8.0 Oreo update for ZenFone 3 Zoom has been delayed even further now. How far? We just got word that it’ll arrive some time in mid-May. Perhaps around the time that the upcoming ZenFone Max Pro (M1) is launching?

Authentic products and personalized selections are among the best ways to retain e-shoppers in Malaysia, according to Shopee

The latest round of Shopee surveys delves deep into loyalty retainment and there are several factors that contribute to a high rate of revisiting customers.

Conducted just a couple of weeks ago, the data showed that 87% of Malaysians prefer buying from Shopee Mall – the place where only verified sellers and officially branded shops can join – due to the 100% guaranteed genuine and authentic products that offer hassle-free returns and free shipping as their main reason while the other 13% is attracted by exclusive product launches and Shopee Brand Memberships.
As for why revisiting a particular store for restocking consumables, half of all shoppers like the engaging recommendations and in-app personalization as a whole while 25% loved product recommendations and bundles that fit their needs, 14% trusted in safe and secure packaging, 8% timely chat responses, and 4% personal gift surprises with the rest of the 49% loving the vouchers and discounts.
However, if two sellers where one is personal and the other from Shopee Mall offer the same product, 6 in 10 will pick the latter platform because of trust issues. Well, worry-free shopping is rather important.
What’s your take on these numbers or are you one of the contributors? Let us know!

Samsung announces "Level" audio products and Galaxy K Zoom

It’s a double treat from Samsung today and the news doesn’t seem to be small at all! Samsung has now ventured into the market for mobile optimized audio products with an entirely new line of division of products called Level. Also, Samsung launched 4 new products under the Level line of products. The Level audio products are named rather simplistically. Basically, here’s a simplified overview of what are the names of the products and what it is.

Level Over – Samsung’s flagship over-the-ear headphones
Level On – Compact style over-the-ear headphones
Level In – In-ear earphones
Level Box – A boombox-styled audio speaker.

Basically Samsung has all the form factor of portable audio products covered – and they claim that Level Over is for audiophiles, which is what separates the Level Over and the Level On. As of now, all of the four Level products are available in white and black colour, with both the Level Over and Level On having some brown accent on it. A nice addition by Samsung is that the Level Box has NFC integrated in it for easy pairing. Apple device users – please weep at the corner.

I have to admit – they don’t look as badly designed as their Samsung Galaxy phones. For further specifications on each of the Level products, head on over to Samsung Tomorrow for more details. Next up is the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom. It’s not the first time Samsung had launched something similar as this – the Galaxy Camera was somewhat a success – given the sequel that was released to the market recently. However, the Galaxy Camera was an Android-based camera device, and does not have the capabilities to make phone calls. Samsung had “acknowledged” your dilemma and is now offering a new form factor for camera-smartphones – the Galaxy K Zoom. If you recall the Galaxy S4 Zoom, this is something similar. You get a camera, and you can make calls on it, instead of just being a camera with Android on it.

Here’s a quick spec rundown

4.8-inch, Super AMOLED display, 1280×720 resolution screen
Has 6 cores – 1.3GHz quad-core + 1.7GHz dual-core processor
Android 4.4 KitKat
20.7MP rear-facing camera

Aperture of F3.1-6.3
10x optical zoom
Optical image stabilization
24-240mm zoom lens
Xenon flash

2MP front-facing camera
2GB RAM
8GB internal storage

micro SDSC expandable up to 2GB
micro SDHC expandable up to 32GB
micro SDXC expandable up to 64GB

2430mAh battery

Well, first of all given the 24-240mm lens, you do get a 10x optical magnification out of it. Technically it is a wide angle lens – you can take your selfies with the rear-facing camera pretty neatly and can include all of your friends with no problems.  The screen resolution is absolutely disappointing, given that this is a camera phone, I should be able to see my pictures in a super high resolution screen. Thankfully, Samsung did include the dedicated camera button for ease of use. The Galaxy K Zoom is available in 3 colours – Electric Blue, black and also white.

As for now, there are still no pricing or availability of the Galaxy Zoom K nor the entire line of Level audio products. We can only wait for now. Even I am curious on what price tag Samsung will put on all the products announced today.

Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2022 to return in June with an all-online format

The yearly software-focused keynote Worldwide Developers Conference 2022 by Apple finally has an official date.
Revealed just yesterday, the fully online format of the WWDC22 will be commencing June 6 through 10, and as usual, it is free for all developers to attend. Continuing the success of virtual-based showcasing of the past two years, the WWDC22 will have no less than last year’s reveal of the latest and greatest (maybe?) features and innovations injected into the next version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Of course, developers and fellow Apple engineers both new and experienced will get to learn how to bring these interactive experiences into their next software build.

As the Cupertino tech giant’s community continues to grow larger and larger with a current count of more than 30 million devs, Apple realized that giving practical insight and the proper access to their tools and libraries is more important than ever. Therefore, this year’s WWDC will be more content-packed than ever with the addition of extra information sessions, cutting-edge learning labs, digital lounges to engage with attendees, and more localized content to make WWDC22 a truly global event.
Skillful and competitive students will be glad to hear that the Swift Student Challenge will return for 2022 too and the theme for this time will be surrounding a topic of their choice and creating a Swift Playground app – an iPad and Mac exclusive platform for learning the Swift language in a fun and interactive way – with the deadline being April 25. Click here to check out the information regarding the challenge.
As Apple continues to extend the competitive distance between itself and the Android market, no wonder everyone is eyeing what Apple can bring to the table every single year and paying less attention to Google.

Galaxy Fold sold out on the first day in Malaysia

Wow. Just wow. The Samsung Galaxy Fold exceeded expectations. For the price of RM8,388, the Galaxy Fold managed to get sold out entirely on its first day of pre-order.
We first talked about the pre-order of the Samsung Galaxy Fold here, and we mentioned that the Galaxy Fold was sold out in multiple other countries around the world. Our neighbor, Singapore, is also loving the Galaxy Fold.

Fast forward to 9th October 2019, the first pre-order sale of the Galaxy Fold in Malaysia. On the same day itself, the Galaxy Fold has completely sold out. That is just insane!
Samsung, being the one who planted the seed for foldable screens since 2013, is finally realizing its vision of a foldable device. I’m not going to lie – there are some concerns of my own too – but seeing the amount of users who just go out and buy the Galaxy Fold really shows the customer confidence in the device.

Samsung Malaysia Electronics also mentioned that they will be returning for another round of sales for the Galaxy Fold – so stay tuned for further updates!

Lots of Malaysian women have started engaging in online learning according to new study by Coursera

Coursera has released a new study that examines COVID-19’s impact on skills and learning trends among women in Malaysia.

The data compiled for the study are recorded from the pre and post-pandemic era where thanks to the COVID-19 destroying the economy of countries including Malaysia, the unemployment crisis still continues until today but for the fortunate group that has the chance to remain financially stable, Coursera has seen the rise of new women learners growing up to 51% of the demography in 2021, up from 2019’s 42%. Out of all available courses, the STEM sector is getting more attention as well reaching the 36% mark compared to just 29% 2 years ago.
The study also included the top 5 courses Malaysian women have enrolled in with ‘Communication’ topping out at 70,000 and ‘Probability and Statistics’, ‘Leadership and Management’, and ‘Entrepreneurship’ sharing the 50,000 mark with ‘Computer Programming’ taking the 5th spot at 40,000. Aside from this, Coursera has also noted that thanks to the growth in mobile computing, 44% of participating women are keener into using mobile devices to access the platform compared to men at 41% thanks to the maturity of portable technology.
All in all, Coursera’s offering of several certificate training programs dedicated to entry-level digital jobs has paved a fresh new pathway for not only Malaysian but women around the world to start engaging in technology one way or another. At this rate, perhaps one day some outstanding achievements will be attained by Malaysian women in the tech world, too?

Symantec Security Response identified FIFA World Cup Scams

All the football fans out there, make sure you read this post! As the grand football event is just around the corner, scammers are fully pumped up to target you all. Regarding this matter, Symantec has already identified several email scams and they expect more scams are coming to target the fans on social networks. The scams will be in several forms such as free ticket scams, news service scams, and online streaming scams.

The most common scam and the easiest to fall is the free tickets scams. Who doesn’t want a free ticket, right?  The scammers know the desire of fans very well that the email circulated are promising everything imaginable.

But hold your horses, think about it first. Email Symantec has identified a malicious zip file in the circulation emails. The zip file contains an executable file, which when it is executed, you will lose the control over your computer to a remote administration tool (RAT) known as DarkComet. To prevent this, Symantec has taken precaution measure against this malware by using a Backdoor.Breut detection. As you might not know what’s a Backdoor.Breut, here’s a brief explanation. Backdoor.Breut is a Trojan horse that opens up a back door on the compromised computer and records keystroke as well as download more files on the compromised computer.
Other than free ticket scams, news and highlight about World Cup teams and players is also one of the trick that scammer uses to lead you to open up malicious attachments or link in the email. Currently, emails about Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, a young star player in Brazilian national team are being circulated. According to Symantec, this email contains a malicious word document that will exploits a known vulnerability in Microsoft Word. Other bait that the scammers are using including famous players such as Argentinian national start, Lionel Messi, be it through email or social network services.
Online streaming is likely the trend today. Be aware of false World Cup live stream websites too! As Symantec has observed in the past, online streaming scams will arise on social networks when the World Cup starts. This has happened during the NBA finals, see here. These scams will claim to offer free live streaming of various matches especially the finals. You might be asked to fill in a survey or download and install a software before you are allowed to access  the “free” service they provided. Always think before you do anything. These scams are just tricks to put money into the pockets of scammers.
To say no to these scams, Symantec offers several tools to protect you against this malware, including the Backdoor.Breut detection.
Here’s some tips from Symantec on how to protect yourself from scammers:

If you receive an email or link on social network that offering free tickets to the World Cup, it is most probably a scam.
Want to know more about your favourite World Cup teams or players? Always go to the official website.
Online streaming? Live streams will be provided by ESPN for subscribers in US. As for UK, BBC will do the streaming. Check your local service providers for more information about online streaming.
Always update the security updates for your operating system and software applications. The more updated, the more secured you are.
Still feel insecure? Get an antivirus software for extra protection!

YUM – MMU MESCORP Conference & Exhibition 2014

On the 11th of November 2014, YUM-MMU MESCORP held their 11th conference and exhibition right here in the Grand Hall at Multimedia University, Cyberjaya.

Their topic in research this year is about hydrogen fuel cell, mainly about bringing awareness in terms of technicality on how it works, and also how it will benefit all of us. The venue this year was greeted with lots of exhibitors and also guest speakers from the industry and from the academy to bring us an insight on their research and also application of hydrogen fuel cell.

In terms of technicality, hydrogen fuel cell works in a very simple way. To put it in the least words as possible, the steps are as below.

Manufacture hydrogen by separating oxygen from distilled water
Store those hydrogen into tanks for transportation/storage
When required, hydrogen is fed into a fuel cell
The fuel cell separates the electron from the hydrogen atom to form hydrogen ion
Electron flows into a circuit, providing current, and thus giving electrical power
Electron recombines with two hydrogen ions and oxygen to form water

Basically the process of hydrogen fuel cell is simple for the layman’s concept to be understood that there are absolutely harmless to the environment and the user. From its chemical reactions, one can prove that the only by-product produced is water, yet ideally is clean, distilled water.

There is also a booth by Horizon Fuel Cell showing a small-scale proof of concept model that hydrogen manufacturing and storage as told in steps 1 and 2 above can be done using solar cell through electrolysis – a method using electricity to separate the elements. This proof of concept shows that the entire process of hydrogen fuel cell can be totally clean and has no carbon emission.
Yang Berbahagia Miss Lim Chyn, Director of MESCORP 2014/2015
As for the speeches, we were taken aback by the guests who gave us a true insight on what is the academy and industry doing to push the technology of hydrogen fuel cells forward. Some guest speakers even showed us their final year project and their PhD thesis about hydrogen fuel cells.
Wong Wei Wen, Internal Assistant Director of MESCORP 2014/2015
The Internal Assistant Director told us what’s the holdback on hydrogen fuel cell technology, and also gave us an insight that Japan is the world leading country to push this technology forward since about 15 years ago. This is also one of the reason why they chose to visit Japan for this year’s topic on hydrogen fuel cell.

Even the winner of Shell Eco-marathon ASIA 2014 winner – the KATAK made by UiTM was there to show off their hybrid fuel cell concept car. The KATAK is a single-seater car. Imagine if this gets to replace cars driven by people – lower carbon emission, less wastage of space if you are driving along, and also more energy- efficient. That’s the future.

Once again, thanks to MESCORP for making this happen!

HONOR MagicWatch 2 arrives to Malaysia

Early this year, we’ve seen the original smartwatch from HONOR. I loved how it looks and its pricing. And today, we have the new MagicWatch 2. It comes in two different sizes – the 46mm and also 42mm version.
HONOR is currently only bringing in the 46mm to the market, where the 42mm variant will come at a later date.

There are a few new additions to the HONOR MagicWatch 2 compared to the first generation. There are 5 more exercise detection mods, has voice-guided navigation, and also a few selection of watch faces, and also the ability to listen music via the watch itself.

It can also receive calls via the watch itself as it has a built-in microphone and speaker. With its magnificent display, the HONOR MagicWatch 2 is looking to be a great deal here.
The HONOR MagicWatch 2 (46mm) is available at just RM699 whereby the Flax Brown variant is available at RM749. It’s quite a good price and comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active (review) that we’re wearing, barring some missing features like Samsung Pay.

The HONOR MagicWatch 2 (46mm) will be available on both HiHonor and also at all HONOR Experience Stores nationwide starting this Friday, 20th December 2019.

The Flax Brown version will be arriving on January 20th 2020 with the price of RM749. And we’re already wearing one now.
The HONOR MagicWatch 2 (42mm) will be coming to Malaysia at a later date. From what we can expect, the price will be lower or at the same price of RM699.

Review – MSI Creator 17 with the world’s first Mini LED backlit display

Let’s take a look at the brand new MSI Creator 17 here, with the codename of A10SFS. The main highlight of this laptop right here is the display as it is the world’s first laptop to be equipped with Mini LED backlight technology. Let’s talk about it.
The one we have here is the highest-spec configuration, but it’s also available in a lower-spec variant and also has the same mini LED backlit display that we’re talking about here.

The MSI Creator 17 is the world’s first laptop to be equipped with mini LED backlight. With its beautiful 4K “IPS-level” LCD panel, this is one of the best displays I’ve seen on a laptop. Learn more about the science behind it here.

A little introduction on how displays work
Let’s backtrack a little and talk about how a display works. In simple terms, there are two independent components in a modern screen – the backlight, and also the LCD layer. The LCD reacts and changes the pixels to show what it’s supposed to show, and the backlight illuminates the LCD so we can see what’s going on.

Without the backlight, then it’ll be back to the Gameboy days where we’ll need an external light source.
What’s it like to use a laptop with mini LED backlight
And the Mini LED technology is a different type of backlight technology. As the name suggests, the entire backlight is filled with an array of tiny little LEDs, illuminating the display. Every single mini LED measures in at only 0.2mm, it is able to provide even lighting across the screen at a much higher brightness compared to conventional backlight technologies.

And I have to say, the Mini LED backlight in the MSI Creator 17 is really as bright as an OLED screen – like the Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED that I’ve reviewed here.
And since the screen on the MSI Creator 17 is so bright, it is certified for VESA DisplayHDR 1000 as well. And yes, viewing content in HDR is just too beautiful.

To “emulate” the contrast of an OLED panel, the Mini LED in the MSI Creator 17 has a total of 240 local dimming zones, so that it can dim certain areas. But since it doesn’t have the granularity like OLEDs to turn every single pixel off, there is a visible halo when viewing a white object on a black background. But thanks to that 240 local dimming zones, the halo is really difficult to see.

While we praise the mini LED for its brightness, we also have to praise it for its dimness because let’s be real here – we’re never going to use the laptop at its highest brightness all of the time.
Okay, so let’s talk about colors. MSI included a lot of different color profiles within the MSI Creator Center software, so we can switch between the commonly-known sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, and some other color spaces that I’ve never heard of before. While we’re talking about color spaces, thanks to MSI for educating me back on what’s the difference between the 3 commonly-known color spaces.

But remember – the specialty of the MSI Creator 17’s screen here, is the backlight. It’s still using a conventional IPS LCD for color, which we have to be honest here – it’s definitely not the most color-accurate display we’ve seen with our own two eyes, but it’s very good to the point where I immediately noticed that a previous video’s white balance is wrong.
I’d say, the mini LED backlight with IPS LCD panel has traits from both OLED and conventional LED backlit screen. It doesn’t have burn-in issue but has local dimming zones for better contrast while having brightness levels close to what an OLED has. So far, I’m loving this technology.
At its lowest and highest brightness settings.
As for the MSI Creator 17 itself
Okay so now enough about the screen. Let’s talk about the laptop here. It’s packed with:

Intel Core i7-10875H
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q
2x16GB RAM at 2666MHz
1TB NVMe SSD

Performance is great – and I edited a number of videos using this laptop because of its amazing performance and obviously magnificent screen.

However, I’m not particularly liking how the fan sounds because these fans are not the low-pitched hum. They whirl up and it sounds quite loud – especially if you’re editing using loudspeakers like I do.
Other than that, it’s pretty much the same as the Prestige P75 Creator 9SD that we reviewed last year. They have the same chassis with a pretty lightweight build – and even with the same color too.

The keyboard is also the same, whereby it’s soft to type on and I like its responsiveness. The ultra-wide trackpad is also the same and with a fingerprint scanner as well. My complaints about the Prestige P75 Creator 9SD apply here to the Creator 17 too – like the huge “waterfall” between the spacebar and the trackpad.

While the ports are also the same as the Prestige P75 Creator 9SD from last year, some of them got a speed upgrade.

So all in all, for the price of RM13,999 – it might seem like a pretty high price – but actually, it’s not. When we compared the MSI Creator 17 spec-by-spec with other laptops in the market, that price tag of RM13,999 isn’t that far off. There is definitely some price premium involved here but definitely way lesser than what we expected.

And let’s not forget – the Creator 17 is the world’s first – and as far as this review is written – the only laptop in the world that uses a mini LED backlit display.

Review – POCO X3 GT: Buy this instead of other POCO phones?

Okay, the POCO X3 GT. I’ve been using it for a while and I gotta say – this is a phone that raises a lot of questions. And we also have a segment where we answer your questions too. So let’s get into it.
So the POCO X3 GT is yet another phone within the X3 family and it definitely has a few similarities here and there.

We’ll start off with the display – just like any other phone in the POCO X3 family of devices, we have an IPS LCD screen. This is a 6.6-inch screen with 2400×1080 pixels in resolution and goes up to 120Hz refresh rate.

Yes, it’s an IPS LCD screen just like any other phone in the POCO X3 family. However, the credit where credit is due – this is a very nice IPS LCD screen. Pretty much comparable to the Mi 10T Pro’s IPS LCD screen too – which I have praised.
But, I’m sure many people will definitely complain about this screen just because it’s an IPS LCD. The 120Hz refresh rate is still decent as there are no signs of ghosting or motion blur.

Then there’s nothing else similar to the other POCO X3 family of devices. It has a glossy plastic back and our unit comes in this Stargaze Black color which has this… sparkly glitter design.

It does hide fingerprints and dust pretty well as they can blend in with the sparkly glitter design very well.

Cameras – it’s a pretty standard one here. Briefly running it through, we have 3 cameras and all of them are usable – thank you for not including depth sensors anymore!
How’s the picture quality coming out of the camera, though? Well, we leave everything in auto at first. Some shots look decent, but some shots look underexposed and some shots look overprocessed to the point where it looks outright fake.
To have a look at all of the pictures we took with the POCO X3 GT, watch our video at the top of this review.

Software also remains the same – it’s still MIUI 12.5 which we have talked about it a lot in many of our other reviews – so check those out instead. Overall, it’s still the same user experience. It’s still buggy and a lot more improvements more than that can be done.

Of course, I still have my complaints about MIUI 12.5 in general. It still has a pretty bad settings menu layout which I have complained about multiple times and it is just never fixed.

Then, we also pointed out that the previous generation (just one previous generation) has the ability to screen capture at 60fps. However, the newer, more powerful smartphones can only capture at 30fps. I have no idea why.

And yet, the POCO X3 GT is rather powerful too. It is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset with 8GB RAM and the performance – as shown in our gaming test for this phone in particular – is surprisingly good. The GPU in this phone is not particularly “flagship level” but it actually quite decent as we can play Genshin Impact at medium graphical settings.

As for the battery, we have a 5,000mAh battery. Pretty standard nowadays and it lasts for a surprisingly long time since the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 doesn’t consume that much power.

How about the charger? The POCO X3 GT comes with a proprietary 67W charger.

One more question that I’d like to put out there is the comparison between the POCO X3 GT and the POCO F3. Which one is better? The answer is a lot more complicated.
POCO F3
During our review of the POCO F3, it ran hot. It overheated constantly, which in turn made the display become dim. Those were the things we showed in our review video. The POCO F3 just can’t handle all the heat that’s coming out of the Snapdragon 870 chipset in certain games.
POCO F3 overheats easily.
It has been a few months since we did our review of the POCO F3, so I’m not sure how it is now. From what I can theorize, the only way this overheating can be avoided is through thermal throttling – which essentially the Snapdragon 870 will never reach its full potential so that it won’t overheat. And that means wasted potential.
Back to the POCO X3 GT – should you buy it?
Okay, so back to the POCO X3 GT. Starting at the price of RM1,299, I think it’s not bad. The price is not surprisingly low or surprisingly high – it’s just reasonable. It’s still a decent phone – and that Dimensity 1100 definitely surprised me.

[UPDATED] Samsung Galaxy A (2017): Mid-range Price, Flagship Features

Who wants a smartphone that looks great, take great photos (and selfie too, that’s important), and is dust- and water-resistant – practically all the flagship features, but doesn’t cost as much? I know I do, and Samsung’s brand new Galaxy A (2017) series is the answer for that question.
Both the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) comes with Samsung’s Full HD Super AMOLED display. Yeah, that flagship-grade display with the greatest contrast ratio that one can ever experience. The words “vivid” and “saturated colors” are oftentimes used to describe Samsung’s Super AMOLED display – and I do that too. The magic behind it is that the individual pixels themselves will be powered off whenever blacks are shown. In a way, in can prolong your smartphone’s battery life too. They really went all out with the Samsung Galaxy A (2017).

16MP PDAF camera with f/1.9 aperture on the rear and another 16MP fixed-focus camera with f/1.9 aperture for the selfies. I’m pretty sure these are just jargon words getting thrown around – but hear me out here. The f-stop (also known as the f-number, f-ratio, etc.) tells the aperture number. A general rule of thumb is that the smaller f-stop number means a larger aperture. With a larger aperture, more light can enter through the camera lens and into the sensor – in this case, the Samsung Galaxy A (2017)’s 16MP sensor produces brighter pictures in low-light conditions.
Remember – both the rear-facing camera and the selfie camera have the exact same 16MP sensor with a f/1.9 aperture lens!
With a larger aperture (again, smaller f-stop number) can enable fantastic photos to be taken too. While the aperture does enable more light to enter the camera sensor, it creates an image with a shallow depth of field. With Samsung’s Pro Mode for full manual camera controls, you can take great images with your Galaxy A5 (2017) or the Galaxy A7 (2017) with zero additional bulk – and the camera now sits flush at the back too.
Just look at how thin it is!
Other than that, a powerful 1.9GHz octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (expandable up to another additional 256GB with micro SD card), both the Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017) is definitely a device that can take great pictures with no lag, and definitely won’t have to worry about its battery too.
Sleek, classy black color – if that’s your choice.
The differences between both the Galaxy A7 (2017) and the Galaxy A5 (2017) are the screen size and their respective battery capacities – as the Galaxy A7 (2017) is a 5.7-inch smartphone with a massive 3,600mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy A5 (2017) has a smaller 5.2-inch smartphone with 3,000mAh battery.

I can assure you – the battery in both these smartphones can last all day with no issues, thanks to its electronics’ 14nm FinFet manufacturing process. You can learn more about help conserve and prolong battery life here.
Now, with a much more power efficient chipset powering both the Galaxy A5 (2017) and the Galaxy A7 (2017), I can finally shoot pictures all day, all night. I don’t have to worry if it rains or shines too – as both the A5 (2017) and A7 (2017) are IP68-certified.
Gone are the days where I have to bring ziplock bags to wrap my non-IP68 phone just to take shots in the water. I mean, I can’t even use the touchscreen while my phone is in the bag! With the new Samsung Galaxy A (2017) series, I can whip it out and take a picture.

Need to dip it in water to take a shot? Now I can. Even you can. We can all unleash our spontaneous creativity without ever worrying about the weather.
Don’t be afraid of the water with the new Samsung Galaxy A (2017) series.
Pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy A (2017) smartphones starts from now until the 15th January only. Get yours today at http://www.samsung.com/my/offer/a2017-preorder/, and get a Samsung Level U Pro for free!

Review – Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 250GB – Pay more for less worries

While the standard consumer platforms have already supported PCIe 4.0 standards for a couple of years, the popularity of the protocol has not yet seen widespread adoption even as of now because one, most people won’t need that kind of speed for their daily use, and two, PCIe 3.0 devices have greater bang for buck value. But that’s about to change as we look at the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD today and find out what are the charms points regarding the storage unit.
Packaging
The overall size of the retail packaging is more or less the same as the last-gen 970 PRO with a slight edit on the cover image and labeling. Opening up the box and as usual, the M.2 2280-sized SSD fits tightly in the middle so it doesn’t slide out during transportation.

Benchmark Results
   We’ve tested the SSD by using the 0 Fill option synthetic test found within the CrystalDiskMark application which most users utilize to get a reference point on how well a drive performs.
Even across 4 different file sizes from 4GB up to 32GB, there are actually little to no changes regarding both the read and write speeds as they have reached the 6,000+ / 2,600+ MBps mark with ease, although the rated top transfer rate for this particular 250GB model is 6,400 / 2,700 MBps by Samsung. No such thing as an ideal state most of the time.
Why should you get such a speedy SSD?
With this much speed at hand, one might ask the most practical question out there: Is there any reason to get a PCIe 4.0 SSD if I’m already using a PCIe 3.0 counterpart? Well, the answer actually lies within several factors but there is one big factor that affects me.
Firstly, the speed. Because of the inherent better technology, PCIe 4.0 can easily reach the 7,000MBps mark in an ideal state while PCIe 3.0 is just shy of 4,000MBps. As a normal user, you won’t even need to reach the theoretical speed of both protocols but industrial usage are completely different.
Take, for example, a video editor that edits raw footage at 4K resolution. The average 2,000 to 2,500MBps difference between the PCIe 3.0 and 4.0 can make or break the video editing experience when you add timeline scrubbing, adding effects, A-B rolling, and maybe some high-resolution effect overlays and audio into the mix. Therefore, one can get more tasks done at a higher efficiency despite paying extra just for that.
Additionally, Samsung products typically cost more than other budget models as they are manufactured with higher endurance and they actually perform better in some of the worst-case scenarios. In business terms, many are willing to pay more if it means a more stable daily operation with reduced risks.
Therefore, at the price of RM359 for this 250GB model, I’d say that it is worth the go if you HAVE NOT owned an NVMe-based SSD yet because you can use it as a boot drive straight away. But if it is the other way around, it depends on whether that sort of capacity is “enough” for you, and if it is Yes or Acceptable, grab it when you have the chance.

Review – Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Taking flagships to a higher level

Within our review, we stated that the Galaxy S20 Ultra has a major upgrade in its camera, display, and also the battery. The Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy S20+ also has the same upgrades, by the way. These are the 3 important things when it comes to a smartphone – and I’m glad Samsung is taking customer feedback and providing necessary upgrades.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra, in particular, has a massive 108MP sensor that can take supremely high-detailed pictures with fantastic colors too. That is because the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the first smartphone that can take 108MP pictures with HDR or night mode. That’s just unheard of!
And let’s not forget that 100x zoom, which Samsung is calling the “Space Zoom”. These pictures were taken during the launch with the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and we sat quite far away. I just zoomed all the way in – and the picture still looks amazing.

AMD @ GDC; Radeon Pro Duo is finally a reality

In GDC 2016, AMD’s “Capsaicin” event was based on one single problem alone – the development of games through their Mantle API, particularly on Vulkan and Liquid VR technology. Now that we’re mentioning VR, there’s actually 83% of all the VR systems globally that’s powered by AMD at heart. Amazed? I sure am.
Architecture roadmap
With that said, AMD teased us the Polaris-based GPUs once again, but this time with future architectures and brief details mentioned in a single, most important second on the Capsaicin event.

Introducing Vega and Navi, both with their very own unique features, with Navi being the most mysterious. Scalability in terms of what? Next-gen memory after HBM – something like Intel’s XPoint technology? Only the future will tell, but the future is definitely with high framerates on low wattage.
Radeon Pro Duo

It’s finally here – the brand new Radeon Pro Duo, where it’s a current-generation AMD GPU that features a dual-core GPU, and HBM too.
16TFlops with Radeon VR Ready certification, and also the first ever workstation-class card that features high bandwidth memory, or HBM, for short. The Radeon Pro Duo here even has double Fiji-based processors, a total of 8GB worth of HBM, and 4 DisplayPorts (!!!) to hook it up too every single display you have.
AMD even remade Razer’s famous “for gamers by gamers” to “For gamers who create and creators who game“, which I think makes way more sense.
Sulon Q

Even though AMD is powering 83% of all the VR headsets in the world, none of them are made like how Sulon did. It’s not your typical VR headset – oh no, this VR has absolutely no cables, and can also be enjoyed in AR mode instead of VR!

The Sulon Q is powered by an AMD FX-800P processor (up to 35W) and a Radeon R7 graphics GPU with AMD’s GCN architecture. It even has 1440 display! Without question, The Sulon Q even integrates AMD’s LiquidVR Technology too, to ensure butter smooth and responsive VR and AR experiences.

Hey – the Sulon Q is not too far away too – it’s coming this Spring!

Long-term review: Samsung Galaxy S10+ is still a fantastic phone; even after 1.5 years

When we first reviewed the Galaxy S10+ in early March of 2019, it was a very different phone compared to its predecessor. It’s bigger, has the newly introduced (at that time) triple camera setup a few quality of life updates, and a much bigger battery. And comes in my personal favorite color, Prism Green.
So, it’s been around a year and a half since I’ve started using the Galaxy S10+ and here is my long-term review of it.

How is the performance?
I think this is the first thing that everyone wants to know. And with that, we’ll have a quick recap of the specs first.

6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with 3040×1440 pixels in resolution
Exynos 9820 Octa
8GB LPDDR4X RAM
128GB UFS 2.1 storage
Triple rear-facing cameras

Main: 12MP f/1.5-2.4, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS
Telephoto with 2x optical zoom: 12MP f/2.4, AF, OIS
Ultrawide with 0.5x magnification: 16MP f/2.2, fixed focus

4,100mAh battery
Android 9.0 with One UI

I’m glad to report that the performance still holds up today. It’s still very powerful in today’s standard. And yes, I’m using the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S10+.
I honestly don’t see why people are complaining about Exynos chipset. It’s still performing very well in today’s standards. Granted, I don’t play games on my phone and I also don’t stare at synthetic benchmark scores every day to see who has slightly higher scores. Look, we’re not going to run benchmarks 24/7 and this whole benchmark score comparison situation is just like chasing clout.
Trend-setting selfie camera cutout
Looking back, Samsung got a lot of flak for making their selfie cameras like this. A punch hole on a perfectly functioning display for the selfie camera? That was insane. It’s a norm now, and every other smartphone manufacturer is following this trend – except for Apple. They’re still with that humongous notch.

Battery longevity
I think this is the one thing that everyone wants to know. So let me tell you how’s my usage. I leave my phone plugged to the charger for the entire night from the moment I go to bed. I only unplug it when I wake up. But, I am only using a 5V 2A charger. I don’t need fast charging because it is a well-known fact that fast charging degrades your battery in the long run.

On a usual day, I always start the day kind of late – I unplug my phone at 10am, then go about my usual day and plugged in again at about 2am with around 53% battery left. It’s always that number, which is why I remember.
On some heavier days where I need my phone for GPS and many more messages, calls, pictures, videos, and whatnot – it usually still has around 20% battery left before I go to bed. I never had it go down to 0% before.
And the best thing is – I don’t even need a power bank.
Build durability
I think I’m very careful when it comes to handling electronics. Maybe too careful, actually. I got a screen protector with a case on the very second I got the phone, and I never go by a day without a protective case on the Galaxy S10+.
A case since day 0.
With that said, I do hammer down the buttons on the phone a lot – particularly the power button. I always double-press the power button to launch the camera app instead of going to the app drawer, because it’s faster and more convenient.
Despite the totally unergonomic location of the power button on the Galaxy S10+, I still press it many times a day. I got used to it very quickly and it became second nature to me. Yes, I still would like it to be at a lower position – but it’s not the end of the world.
An ergonomically-unfriendly power button position.
However, I do know for a fact that the most “mint condition” button on the Galaxy S10+ is going to be the Bixby button. I’m just glad that the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones are the last one to have a dedicated Bixby button.
I have only pressed the Bixby button a few times – by accident.
3 years of updates in total
Ever since the launch of the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones, Samsung has committed to releasing an update every single month. They’ve been consistent so far and they didn’t miss or skip any month of update.
Better yet, Samsung has also announced that they’re now committing to a total of 3 “generations” worth of updates – which backdates to the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones. That’s a huge announcement as it was unexpected and this literally breathes another year’s worth of life into a 1.5-year old phone.
Samsung promises “3 generations” of updates for flagship devices

Samsung is listening, actually
I think that the Galaxy S10 series is a turning point for Samsung on how they want to continuously support their smartphones. They’re actively listening to feedback via the Samsung Members app, so you can file bug reports or ideas on how to improve the software experience via the Samsung Members app.
It’s cool to see that Samsung is really paying attention to its community as the Galaxy Note20’s Unpacked event literally puts an array of fans from the Samsung Members users in the background.
The cameras are still good
After reviewing way too many smartphones, I come to realize that there are differences in how the camera smartphones are designed with respect to the use case scenario. Let’s go on by saying this – the Samsung camera experience is to point and shoot and get the best possible picture.

This is in contrast to the many other smartphones that take their sweet time by telling the user to hold the phone for like 4 seconds or more, just to get a better, cleaner shot. That’s a perfectly fine way to take pictures but definitely not for me. I just want to point and shoot quickly.
And yet, the Galaxy S10+ still takes fantastic pictures.

My only complaint
One of my biggest complaints is finding screen protectors for this phone. The curved edges really do pose a challenge as tempered glass can’t stick properly, difficult to align and install, and generally just a bad experience.
After many trials and errors, I found out that PET screen protectors are what I’m looking for. It’s relatively easy to install, has great durability against fingernails, and it also looks great. Most importantly, it does not impose any problems with the fingerprint scanner.

It’s also great to see what Samsung is shrinking down the curvature of the screen edges so that screen protectors are now easier to get. That’s just some of the quality of life changes that people don’t talk about.
Is this still a good time to get the Galaxy S10+?
Honestly, yes – if the price is right. It’s Samsung’s last flagship smartphone to still have an audio jack, and it also has a big battery – at least at that time when it was announced.
And since the S10+ has been in the market for more than a year, the price has considerably dropped, too. With Samsung’s announcement of 3 “generations” worth of software support for the S10 series of smartphones, I think you can buy this phone and be content with it for a long time. From my personal experience, the Samsung One UI is still the best I’ve used thus far.

While I still wish there are more phones from Samsung with the Prism Green color, Samsung also released the new Galaxy S20 FE with a total of 6 different colors. That new mint color is looking beautiful 👌.
Question now becomes – if you’re shopping for a brand new budget-friendly flagship smartphone that has all of the nice features – should you buy the Galaxy S10+ or the newly-announced Galaxy S20 FE? My choice is simple – get the Galaxy S20 FE instead.
