GeForce RTX™ 3090 Ti graphics cards reach new heights of graphics performance
ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards employ a hybrid cooling solution to keep temperatures under control
TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards wield enhanced Axial-tech fans and a large 3.2-slot heatsink

ASUS today announced the ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards, arriving in Standard and OC editions.

Designed for the most demanding gamers, content creators and data scientists, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti features a record-breaking 10,752 CUDA cores, and boasts 78 RT-TFLOPs, 40 Shader-TFLOPs and 320 Tensor-TFLOPs of power. And It’s packed with 24 GB of the fastest 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory, providing 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth.

Both ASUS cards leverage a variety of upgrades and exclusive features to get the most from this boundary-breaking GPU.

Liquid-cooled excellence with the ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

The ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti glides in with a closed-loop liquid cooling system that keeps temperatures and noise levels under tight control. It starts with a custom-designed cold plate that extends over the GPU die and the onboard GDDR6X memory.

This assures premium cooling for the components most responsible for raw performance. Then, 560 mm tubing gives users flexible options for installing the radiator, even in larger cases or builds that also feature an AIO CPU cooler. The 240 mm radiator is cooled by a pair of 120 mm ARGB fans tuned to move large quantities of cooling air at high static pressure. A blower-style fan and a low-profile heatsink under the shroud expel the heat produced by the power delivery components, all in a slim 2.6-slot design.

A suite of features makes this graphics card easy to install and set up for long-term performance. Power-sensing circuitry gives users a heads-up through a static LED light if they’ve neglected to connect the card to their PSU through its 1×16-pin power connector.

That same light will pulse if the graphics card is receiving insufficient wattage. Two FanConnect II headers allow users to connect case fans to the graphics card to increase airflow when the GPU is under load. A dual-mode BIOS switch offers a choice between the highest cooling performance and clocks, or quieter operation and a mild step back in performance. Finally, 0 dB tech allows the graphics card to automatically drop into silent running mode at idle and light loads.

The ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card is ready-made for a showcase build. Angular text and parallel lines adorn the card’s shroud. Addressable RGB LEDs on the shroud, bridge and radiator fans case a vivid glow across the interior of a build, and users can easily coordinate lighting effects with the rest of their Aura-compatible gear using Aura Sync.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti stretches its wings

A new thermal solution sets up the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti for air-cooled supremacy. For DIYers looking for rock-solid reliability and impressive performance in a straightforward, no-nonsense design.

It starts with an angular, matte black metallic shroud with rugged industrial design cues. This covers a massive 3.2-slot heatsink that is ready to keep GPU, VRAM, and power delivery circuity chilly, even under demanding loads.

A trio of Axial-tech fans push plenty of air through the high-surface-area heatsink. ASUS has increased the width of each fan to 1.5 cm to increase static pressure, and all three fans have a half-width barrier ring that focuses air right where it is needed. The central fan rotates clockwise, while the two on the flanks spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence.

This proven design allows higher RPM and more air movement through the heatsink without a corresponding increase in acoustic footprint. A dedicated memory heatsink keeps the massive complement of GDDR6X memory cool for reliably swift performance, and a 0dB fan-stop mode allows the card to maintain silent running under light loads or at idle. The full-length backplate shows off plenty of TUF Gaming graphics, and a large cut-out ahead of the PCB provides another route for hot air to exit the heatsink.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card also features many enthusiast-friendly touches that level up the capabilities of a build. Auto-Extreme assembly technology, used across the ASUS lineup, precisely places and solders components without human intervention to boost reliability and build quality. A 144-hour testing regime and military-grade capacitors ensure out-of-the-box reliability and a long service life. And users will be able to personalize their TUF Gaming card to match the rest of their system using the onboard Aura RGB LEDs, as well.

Pair with an ROG Thor II or ROG Strix PSU

As part of their formula for establishing a new tier of performance, these GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards draw more power than their predecessors. To get the most out of them, ASUS recommends a power supply with 1,000 watts of capacity or more, depending on the specs of the rest of the user’s system. The ROG Strix and ROG Thor families of PSUs are already prepared to handle the demands of these cards, thanks to their premium components, massive internal heatsinks and ASUS-exclusive Axial-tech fan design.

For those who dare to demand the best

Progress marches onward. The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti shatters all boundaries as the newly crowned fastest graphics GPU in NVIDIA’s game-changing GeForce RTX 30-series lineup. Secure a ROG Strix LC GeForce RTX 3090 Ti or TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card to elevate a PC DIY build to the next level.

Today, we are connected to the internet 24/7. I’m sure every household will somehow have a connection to the internet whether from the phone’s data subscription or home broadband services. Having an internet connection is one thing, but having a stable and wide WiFi coverage can be a challenge especially when you’re staying in a double storey house.

Facing problems with WiFi dead zones? Your service provider gives you a low end router to use at home? If you are facing these problems, then you will appreciate this article. This is why you deserve a super steady, wide area WiFi coverage with added security that will only incur cost once, but will benefit you for a very long time.

“But I can just get a WiFi 6 router”. Yes you can. Although it is awesome in speed, it’s still limited in terms of coverage area. I know because I have tried this at home. I have tested a WiFi 6 router at my house which is a double storey terrace house and the router is placed in the living room. My “home office” is located upstairs in the back room.

Not much coverage there. So I need something better.

And many thanks to ASUS for lending me the newly announced ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 Router/Mesh to be tested at home. It’s a mesh device but known as AiMesh as what ASUS called it. I know some of you may have heard of a mesh hardware system from your service providers. It will actually cost a lot more when you subscribe and billed monthly by the service providers. So I figured why not invest once in a good mesh system like the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4.

First Look

I am absolutely loving the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4. In the box, you will get two identical AiMesh devices. I believe both can be configured as a router and AiMesh node. But I was having problems setting it up initially until I used the other node to connect to my modem and that worked. And soon after that I realised why I can’t configure one of it to run as a router. Turns out, it has been configured to connect to another ISP by another tester before me and forgot to reset the AiMesh node. After I did a quick reset, setting it up was so easy.

Along with the router and node, you will also get two power cables to power up both the devices and also some documentation for manuals and warranty.

As I said, the two nodes look identical. The review unit I received comes in white colour which I personally think is elegant. It can be a nice piece of artsy device when placed in your living room near the router. It has a minimalist design to it and that made it look good.

There are two LAN ports and one WAN port around the lower back. The power socket is on the left side while a USB 3.0 port on the right. There’s also a front button near the bottom with a ring light to indicate the current connection status. The device itself is quite light and nice to look at. So it will display nicely no matter where you place it.

There are also air vents on either sides of the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid. This will allow air to move around freely to keep the device cool. On the underside, there’s the name and QR code for scanning to get it up and running quickly.

Usage and Experience

Setting up the router to connect to my modem (and my Unifi account) is pretty simple. You can download the ASUS Router app on your phone for easy configuration or you can connect the router to your laptop for a more pro approach. Once you’re connected to the internet, you can place the “satellite” AiMesh nearby for it to be auto configured before you can place the second AiMesh anywhere else in your house.

My broadband modem is placed downstairs in my living room. The first main ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 is now connected directly to my modem. It is quite near to my TV but without any obstructions.

I placed the second one in my home office, which is on the upper floor at the back. The powerful signal that is transmitted by the main ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 router is picked up by the second one to further push the wireless coverage. The second node is connected to my PC via a LAN cable so that I can have maximum speed and stability.

Previously I was using the standard router provided by Unifi and supported by a WiFi extender that I placed in my home office for a boost in signal coverage. That helps but the connection is rather unstable. I’m using the 100mbps Unifi service and normally I will get about 50-60mbps download speed and 20-30mbps upload speed at around 12ms ping latency from my upstairs PC.

As soon as I started using the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid and done with all the setups, I made a test with the speed and reliability. First test showed a huge difference. I got 105mbps download speed (I got extra 5 there) and close to 90mbps upload speed while using the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid. I mean that is a huge jump. And I tested it many times just to make sure. And in all the tests I’ve done, it never went anywhere below 100mbps download speed and a good 80mbps average upload speed.

I’m totally loving this new ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid.

ASUS Router App shows the connection status.

Recently I started game streaming. And by all means I do need a fast and stable internet connection. I used to have streaming problems like lagging and server disconnections. I don’t have high-end hardware to begin with. But I know having a fast and stable internet connection can make a huge difference. With my standard Unifi router, I don’t get to stream as much. But since I have the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 with me for review, I stream every day.

Announcing the ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 Noctua Edition Graphics Card
When streaming on Twitch, we can see the connection status. Right now with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid, the connection status reads as “Excellent” as opposed as “Fair” when I was using the normal router + WiFi extender. See the difference?

WiFi coverage for mobile devices is also enhanced. I used to connect to 2.5Ghz WiFi connection when I’m upstairs but switch to 5Ghz when I’m downstairs and near the router. Not the case with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid at all. I can be anywhere in the house and still have a strong full coverage at full speed. Hence it’s one of the reasons why I can stream often because I now have a fast and stable connection in my home office.

Other available settings in the ASUS Router app.

Gaming with the standard TM issued router? Nope. The usual ping latency was always above 50ms but with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid, I always get it as low as 20ms on average in PUBG Mobile. So don’t limit your internet connection and speed potential. With a little extra one time investment, you can have peace of mind for a very long time.

Another advantage you can get with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 is the ability for it to use your available electrical wiring to transmit data to the node. The HomePlug AV2 MIMO technology enables speeds over electrical wiring of up to 1300 Mbps, up to 2X faster than the previous standard.

Yes, that means you can use your electrical power sockets for your internet connection. But on the downside, you need to connect the router and the node directly to the main socket, not attached to any extension plugs.

You will also get a lifetime free ASUS AiProtection Pro that secures all connected devices and the ASUS Instant Guard protects public WiFi connections.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a huge upgrade to your existing internet connection setup, invest a little bit on this ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 AiMesh. If you’re staying in a double (or triple) storey house with large space, you definitely need better WiFi coverage. With the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4, you will extend the overall coverage for your WiFi that gives you a fast and stable connection wherever you are at home.

I am not sponsored by ASUS in any way. I’m not saying all the good things to make you buy the product. I am only reviewing the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 as it is being loaned to me for a full test. But I’m telling you that this is probably the best investment that you can get to fully upgrade your home broadband connection.

And I’m speaking this based on what I experienced.

All I can say is, I’m in love with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 AiMesh. I know there are many mesh systems out there but based on my own testing and experience, this is currently at the top of my favourite list. Don’t waste your time looking for anything else. I assure you that you will love the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 too.

And the good news is that the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XP4 AiMesh has been launched here in Malaysia and it is priced at

The pandemic has forced some people to start working from home and I was one of those people. Thank God that I am now back at the office as usual since we are now entering the endemic phase here in Malaysia. But I still need reliable WiFi connectivity at home to maintain this website and to work from home when it’s necessary. Not forgetting my weekly game streaming on Twitch and FB Gaming too.

Therefore I need to look for a better, more reliable and most importantly, fast WiFi connection at home that is stable with minimal lags and low latency.

I subscribed to Unifi Home Fibre with 100mbps max speed. I feel that this is more than enough to support my internet connection requirements, for now. And since the recommended download/upload speed that is needed to stream on Twitch or FB Gaming is 30mbps, I have more than enough bandwidth to use.

And to support my internet connection requirement, I have with me the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini (XD4) with WiFi 6 as my router/mesh system. I received the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini a few weeks back and I’ve been having an awesome time speeding through the internet without any problems. So how does this Mini mesh system perform during those times and even at this present moment? Well, here’s my review on the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini.

Unboxing and Setting Up The ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini

The ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini comes in a quite large and long box despite its mini size. But with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini, you won’t get one, not even two, but three nodes (or satellites) to fully “blanket” your home with zero dead zones.

I live in a landed house, not in an apartment. I have a bigger space as it’s a double storey house. Hence why my standard Unifi router was unable to obtain full coverage throughout the house. There was always a WiFi dead zone somewhere and I find this rather irritating. My PC and other IoT stuff are located upstairs in the back room while the router is downstairs in the living room up front. So the internet speed in my home office was very bad.

So having three nodes, as what they would be called, I now have 100% full coverage no matter I am in the house. Having just one main node, which also acts as the main router, is quite good and performs much better than the standard Unifi router. Having two, it works even better with high speed anywhere in the house. But having all three nodes set up, it’s just superb. I can even get a full bar outside my house on the street.

The ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini itself has a very minimalistic design. You won’t get any protruding antennas around the device. It has a very simple cube design, like a Rubik Cube but without all the colours on the sides. There is also an LED light at the bottom of each node to emit different colours depending on its current status. White light means it’s fully connected and is running well. Blue light means it’s connecting, green light means it’s configuring/pairing and red means bad. We don’t want red lights.

Initial configuration for the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini is pretty simple. You can immediately scan the QR code on the main node that works as a router to download the ASUS Router app on your phone. Once you turn the node on, it will start its pairing mode and from there, you need to connect it with the ASUS Router app. Once it is connected, you can then fill in your login details for your Unifi. After that you can set up your WiFi SSID and password as well. Everything else will be done automatically from here onwards.

And to connect the other nodes to work as the satellites, you need to turn them on so that the main node can detect the rest of them to begin the pairing and configuration. You can just sit back and relax from here. Just make sure that all the nodes are nearby to each other during this process. And when the lights on all the nodes turned white, it means everything is working and you’re connected to the internet.

All those steps took me less than 10 minutes. I didn’t waste any time to test the speed and reliability. As I said earlier, I am subscribed to Unifi’s 100mbps package, right? I can only get up to 80mbps with my old router from the living room and 50mbps when I’m upstairs in my home office. Now with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini, I get 250mbps no matter where I am in the house. Wait what? But my max speed is supposed to be 100mbps. Why do I get more now?

I don’t have an answer to that. Bottom line is, I’m happy with the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini’s performance. Also to take note that I turned off one of the nodes and used only two of them. I didn’t want any WiFi overlaps that can also create bad and unstable connections. So the two are the ones in the living room and in my home office.

Here’s why. A single node can cover up to 2200sq/ft area. That is good enough to use in an apartment. When you have two nodes working, it can cover up to 3300sq/ft area. That is about the size of a semi-D house here in Malaysia. And when you use all three nodes, it covers up to 4800sq/ft area. That is a lot of space. Hence why I don’t need to use all three nodes. Two is more than good in my house. In fact, it’s excellent.

Now I have full WiFi coverage at home and I’m happy. My PC doesn’t have WiFi so I connect it directly to the node via LAN cable. All the nodes have a LAN port, so I can even connect one of the nodes to a network switch, to connect to more PCs and laptops at home, if I want to.

Performance

In terms of performance, the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini doesn’t disappoint. The entire 3 weeks or so that I use it at home, I have never once experienced any internet dropouts or interruptions. The WiFi signal is strong with this one. Not only is it able to hit the max 100mbps, but it went beyond that. I’m just as surprised as you are.

Previously I don’t usually stream my games due to the bad connection and high ping. I often get disconnected from the router whenever I play games in my home office. I don’t have that problem now. I even stream regularly every weekend. My iPad works great with zero interruptions when gaming. I connect the iPad to my PC and stream from my PC to Twitch or FB Gaming via OBS. Everything runs smoothly here.

If you’re a gamer, you will understand why I need low latency and stable internet connection. The ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini delivers that. Although it is one of the ZenWiFi’s basic mesh series, the performance I get from it makes it worth every penny.

With the ASUS Router app, you can set up a few other useful features such as Parental Control where you can turn off the internet at a specific time and the AIProtection feature that is powered by Trend Micro to scan your network for devices that have been infected by malicious software on a regular basis. But the ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini is lacking in security features such as DDOS protection. You will have to get a better ZenWiFi mesh series for that.

You can also monitor the real-time network traffic from the app and remove/block any devices that have previously connected to your network. You can also check the status on each node whether it is currently connected or not. Also, you can update the firmware directly from the app.

There are many other features and settings that you can do from the ASUS Router app. I will periodically run a diagnostic scan at night to keep my home connection at its optimum condition. This is probably the cutest and most minimalistic WiFi router and mesh system you can have in your home.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to upgrade your home WiFi connection, get a mesh system. Better yet, get an AIMesh system by ASUS. I have previously reviewed the
ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid
 system and I absolutely love it. It has better functions and more powerful wireless connectivity but with a heftier price tag. If you’re on a budget but still want to get something just as good and worth the money, you will not be disappointed with this ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini.

It’s compact, cute and doesn’t take up much space on the table. Best of all, it comes with an option to purchase with two or three nodes packages. Yes, there is a two nodes variant but might as well you go for the max of three. It’s better to have more. You never know when you’ll need it.

The ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini is currently on sale at ASUS’s official store in

Behind the Design of the Galaxy S22 Series

Samsung Electronics established a design identity for the Galaxy series with the belief that originality derives from the combination of deep reflection, extensive research, time, and effort. Following this process enables new values to be added that elevate the standards for premium smartphones. This is how Samsung has continuously managed to enhance Galaxy smartphones’ designs while maintaining essential values.

Read on to learn more about how Samsung refined the Galaxy S22 series’ design.

The Essence of Originality

For the Galaxy S series, Samsung has always aspired to develop a simple and flat form that harmonizes technology and design without exposing the boundary between them. With smooth, beautiful lines that resemble the curvature of sand dunes, moderation and solidity coexist in the Galaxy S series’ simplified form.

Bold Geometry

The Galaxy S series’ design philosophy prioritizes capturing only the most essential elements in order to establish a unique identity. In the case of the Galaxy S22 series, that means equipping the devices with a flat design and a symmetrical front and back. Details on the sides have been pared down to ensure that the smartphones look sleek and smooth from any angle.

In addition, the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra’s camera layout has been rearranged to establish a design identity that the Galaxy S series will maintain going forward. In particular, the camera of the Galaxy S22 and S22+ has been positioned in such a way that it is equidistant from the devices’ horizontal and vertical edges, creating a more refined impression.

A Seamless Combination

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ both feature analogous colors in their metal camera housings and bodies, creating a sense of unity. The sleek, flat line drawn by the side frame separates it from the camera housing, creating a clean-cut appearance. The camera system, its waterproof structure and the angle of the camera housing were all redesigned and delicately refined and simplified.

Newness Beyond Innovation

Samsung designers continuously strive to raise the bar for premium smartphones even further with innovations that enhance Galaxy devices’ unique identity. Accordingly, the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra demonstrate how Samsung has been delivering the best performance and technology while also considering ways to make it easier for users to utilize the devices and express themselves.

An Optical Illusion

The Galaxy S22 Ultra combines superior performance with a sophisticated design. Here, the scope of the Galaxy S series has been expanded by inheriting the Galaxy Note series’ simple yet sturdy design identity, which is optimized for the S Pen.

As a camera’s performance increases, it tends to grow larger and protrude more from the design. To prevent the Galaxy S22 series’ camera from sticking out, Samsung minimized the camera’s size by optimizing its design. The camera’s mirrored metal frame establishes a brand new look with a specialized finishing method that creates the impression that the camera is floating above the device’s body.

These features allow the camera to harmonize with the body. The result is an elegant design that does not protrude too far and includes a mirrored metal frame that reflects the color of the device depending on the angle.

A Versatile S Pen That’s a Joy To Use

The Galaxy S22 Ultra’s built-in S Pen offers a more creative and joyful mobile experience by allowing users to write and draw on the device’s expansive screen. With 70% lower latency, the new S Pen allows users to enjoy a more realistic experience that feels like putting pen to paper.

What’s more, users can also open apps more easily with Compact Mode in the Air Command menu, and the Samsung Notes experience has become even more convenient. When users want to save a link or a web page, they can do so easily using Samsung Notes in a pop-up or split screen and keep the page they were viewing open.

Expand Your World

One UI expands what users can do with the Galaxy S22 series. For example, when frequently used widgets are grouped using the Smart Widget function, widgets that users will find useful depending on the time and location will be automatically displayed. There’s a widget to notify users of upcoming events, as well as one that indicates when their Galaxy Buds’ batteries are low. Removing the need to open multiple widgets at once enables the home screen to be used more efficiently.

The camera has also been enhanced to allow users to take high-quality photos and videos of distant subjects and in low-light settings. Functions that improve the sharpness of selfies and remove the moiré patterns that appear when capturing TV screens or monitors have also been added to the gallery, providing a new photo-remastering experience.

The photo editor’s automated AI eraser intelligently detects and removes shadows and light reflectors in a more efficient manner than if users were to select and erase objects manually.

Furthermore, the newly introduced Samsung Wallet feature combines digital payments, ID and asset management in one convenient and secure place. This simplifies users’ daily routine by providing layers of security to protect their private information.

Designs That Reflect Their Era

With Galaxy devices’ designs, Samsung strives to deliver an optimal mobile experience that factors in users’ unique preferences and lifestyles. With designs that evolve with the times, Samsung enables users to use their mobile devices as they wish, supporting more enjoyable mobile experiences that put users in charge of their daily lives. Continuing to do so allows Samsung to create more value and a brighter future for communities and society.

Trendy Yet Classy

The Galaxy S22 series’ colors are both unique and contemporary — classic and premium, but trendy as well. Each device is available in Phantom Black, Phantom White and Green. The Galaxy S22 and S22+ are also available in Pink Gold, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra is available in Burgundy.

The refined Phantom Black hue showcases the Galaxy S series’ premium value, while the pure Phantom White complements the reflection of the metal body, projecting a message of hope and positivity. Green reflects the current times and encompasses a variety of tastes, while Burgundy accentuates the premium value and the modern and unique feel of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

A double layer nano coating adds rich tone and texture to the Pink Gold edition, revealing a variety of colors that go beyond the limits of a standard pink.

More Customization

While the devices’ designs have been simplified and refined, the joy of choosing a smartphone cover is greater than ever. The S-View Flip Cover’s compact display features the same UX as the Galaxy Watch, offering consistent and unified usability. The Frame Cover, meanwhile, offers a choice of two backplates — one clear, one mirrored — so users can easily decorate their device to suit their taste.

The Silicone Cover with Strap combines bold graphics with colors that create a strong impression whenever the smartphone is used, while the transparent Protective Standing Cover features multiple options in terms of kickstand designs and colors, offering users a unique look. A wide variety of cover materials, such as silicon and leather, as well as trendy designs and colors, allow enabling anyone to find a cover design that suits their unique personality.

Reduce & Recycle

The Galaxy S22 series’ design identity is also reflected in its packaging. The number 22 on the package expresses the unity of the camera housing with smoothly permeating graphics, while the bold “S” hints at the smartphones’ stylish and flat design.

The smartphones’ packaging was produced in an eco-conscious manner, utilizing 100% recycled paper. All components, including accessories and manuals, were made more compact to reduce the packaging’s overall volume. These eco-conscious efforts enabled Samsung to equip the Galaxy S22 series with packaging that’s 56% smaller by volume than that of the Galaxy S20.

For years, the Galaxy S series has been setting the standard for premium smartphone designs. Samsung’s ultimate goal for the series is to continuously provide mobile experiences that reflect users’ feedback and evolve in ways that benefit the entire world.

Going forward, the company will continue to create innovative experiences that reflect our changing times, break existing boundaries, and transcend the limits of what smartphones can do.

It conjures up feelings of exclusivity and one-of-a-kindness. So it’s no surprise that the design technique is known as “colour blocking” has stood the test of time and is here to stay. It expresses personality through colour choices. During the epidemic, Samsung researchers discovered that the house had become a safe refuge for their customers worldwide, where they value the expression of their authenticity.

It has become a haven for them to personalise and inject as much of their personalities and lifestyles as they like. Samsung Digital Appliances’ latest innovation, the Bespoke Refrigerator, incorporates this concept of made-to-measure.

BESPOKE can interpret a wide range of requirements by combining functionality and adaptability to create a real piece of furniture that fits the house’s style and evolves with it. Its formats are meant to develop with the needs of persons who live alone or with their families over time.

Many things have changed at home in the last year, from how families use their living spaces to the design materials they choose to how individuals use their appliances. Samsung Bespoke appliances are elegantly designed, allowing families to express their personalities while providing the flexibility and connectivity they require.

With the Samsung Bespoke refrigerator, you can place it side by side, creating the ideal combination to fit your style. And those who need to keep plenty of fresh food can choose to combine the ever-green bottom-mount freezer fridge with the convertible single-door refrigerator.

Break the Rules of Expression with the Tab S8 Ultra

Usher in a new creative renaissance where you can express yourself however you choose. More than ever before, we are exploring and deepening our creative passions and with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s massive surface, you can express yourself on a grander scale.

This epic canvas comes with a brush so precise you can take your art to the next level. The latency on the S Pen has been reduced by 69% in supported apps, bringing the experience closer to that of pen-on-paper, for a brush-on-canvas creativity with near-instant feedback.

With Clip Studio Paint, you can paint incredible scenes with a plethora of brushes, colours and layers. If you have an S22 series phone, you can snap a picture and then extract the photo’s colour for your artwork. Your phone then transforms into a colour palette, allowing you to tap your S Pen on your Galaxy S22 Ultra’s screen, similar to a brush picking up colour from a paint palette to ease your creative process.

The improved Samsung Notes’ new landscape scroll feature lets you keep scrolling left and right for more room to write and sketch. You can also keep your ideas flowing with the improved Samsung Notes app. Samsung Notes updates across all your Galaxy devices, providing you a simple and fast way to keep your notes organised, including web clips you want to remember.

If video content creation is your passion, the Tab S8 Ultra can record 4K video from its front camera to give you more high-quality footage to work with. Or if you have your S22 series phone, you can use Quick Share to speedily transfer high-res video files to make your edits on the tab’s big screen.

Until 31 March 2022, customers who purchase the Tab S8 Ultra can redeem free gifts worth up to RM1,887. This includes one S Pen and one Book Cover Keyboard in the box worth up to RM1,738, one Neoprene Pouch worth RM149 and 30% off a one (1) year Samsung Care+ Protection Plan.

Creating A Sustainable Workplace, Hisense Encourages Females to Achieve Better-Self in Every Aspect

The
World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2021
 finds that gender equality is over 135.6 years away, meaning the world needs to pay more attention to achieving gender equality for a sustainable future. To address and alleviate gender inequality, this year’s theme for  International Women’s Day is
“Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”,
 encouraging communities to unite and create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive place for all.

Hisense considers respecting gender parity, diversity, and inclusiveness in the workplace is essential, the corporate works to ensure every employee feels as if they belong to teams that embrace diverse talents and provide equal opportunities for unleashing each employees’ potential, helping employees reach personal goals, or challenge their limits, to become a better-self.

Hisense Encourages Women to Shine in Every Aspects in Workplace

Recognizing these unexpected obstacles and challenges women face, especially in careers, Hisense fully recognized the importance of creating a balanced, diverse, and equal workplace. Currently, females account for 41.6% of Hisense International’s global workforce, higher than World Bank’s latest global female workforce average of 38.89%.

As Hisense strives for a more inclusive and diverse corporate culture, more female employees are becoming more outstanding within the industry.

Li Wenli, General Manager of Hisense Japan, is regarded as a model leader by many of her young colleagues because she commits herself to her career, empowers, and fights for continuous improvement of her team, career, and corporate achievements.

Designing The Workplace of The Future

COVID-19 has forced a large segment of the workforce to work-from-home (WFH) over the last two years. Ever since the internet and technology allowed us to communicate remotely, people have been working outside of the office albeit not as popular and widely accepted. However, the current rise of WFH arrangements has shown us that it has been very possible to work remotely and still get the job done.

All it took was a catalyst to prove that this concept is highly desirable. In fact, according to
EY 2021 Work Reimagined Employee Survey
, only 22% of Malaysian employees would prefer to work from office full-time after the pandemic eases and 8 out of 10 employees would prefer to work from home entirely. With that in mind, companies may  consider adapting the remote working concept by introducing hybrid work arrangements.

Hybrid workspaces is a business model that combines the perks of both remote and office work. For companies, this is an economical solution that would save thousands in budget for real estate and office maintenance. It could also result in increased talent pool as companies would no longer be restricted to specific geographical areas.

For employees, it helps to encourage a stronger work life balance and at the same time provides a safe place for employees to return to, should they require human contact.

With
hybrid working
, the employers, as well as the employees, are able to create experiences that could help the business positively. When done right, both camps can get the result they want, and the benefits of both remote and office worlds.

Apart from just the hybrid workspace model or format, there are other physical key considerations for an effective hybrid workspace.

Meeting Spaces

The main element to any hybrid workspace is having functioning meeting rooms, as one of the reason employees head back to the office would be for external
meetings and collaborative work
. For meetings or collaboration, visualisation is of the utmost importance. Businesses can consider having an
interactive projector
 instead of the usual flat panel display in the meeting room to create dynamic collaborative environments that sparks fresh ideas and make businesses work smarter.

For instance, selected Epson’s interactive projectors support a
Whiteboard Sharing Function
 that allows users to share and annotate content instantly with up to 15 local or remote participants connected on the same network using a tablet, smartphone or a web browser on computer. There is also
Remote Desktop Access
 where users can project and annotate on information stored in different remote locations right from the meeting room, providing an unparalleled flexibility and convenience.

Having an interactive projector to brainstorm, collate ideas and, make edits on one document could highly
improve the productivity of each meeting
 as well.

Documents on-the-go

While much of today’s business is carried out online, there are still certain essentials that need to be carried out in the tangible world. Important paperwork such as contracts, invoices and more may still need to be printed in hardcopy. Thus, having a printer that is able to print remotely and scan documents directly from employee’s email, smart devices or cloud storage, is essential to the future of an efficient and productive office.

Get Creative in The Office This Chinese New Year with Epson
This is why many of our
printers and multifunction devices
 at Epson allow users to print wirelessly from their mobile devices, tablet, or computer. We provide a wide array of
Epson Connect Solutions
 including support for third-party printing solutions, so that employees can go from viewing to printing within the home, in the office, or even whilst on the go.

Additionally, we also provide a suite of software solutions such
Epson Remote Services
 (ERS) and
Epson Print Admin
 (EPA) designed to address business needs and to integrate seamlessly into the workflow of a business. ERS is a device administration software that helps to monitor, manage and configure device fleet within a network, while EPA is a print management solutions that help improve printing security and reduce printing costs.

Flexibility and security are key concern when it comes to remote working, and wireless printer can certainly be the weak point in a network. To mitigate risks, businesses must consider a secure remote printing device that’s not only easily accessible for employees but difficult for external intrusion as well.

Flexi-desking

With more employees working remotely, the requirements for having fixed desk pegged to an employee would be less than economical. Flexible desking allows for maximizing resource usage in the work space, especially when employees come in on a need to basis.

This would also provide working space for newcomers to learn and engage with seniors, employees who choose to work from office as they enjoy mingling with co-workers or due to spontaneous unsuitable home working conditions. Also, to bear in mind that this requires some coordination, as we wouldn’t want employees to come back to an office only to be left with no working space.

Getting the hybrid work model right

To be successful, business leaders have to be creative and think about what works best for employees. We need to take steps to ensure that hybrid arrangements are as effective and equitable as possible in the post-COVID future to be in a strong position to thrive.

With some of the tips mentioned earlier, you’ll be able to create harmony and synergy between all of your team and worker types, no matter where they are located. Although the timespan of the pandemic may not be certain, the hybrid workspace is definitely a possible permanent fixture for the future.

ECOVACS ROBOTICS Launches Brand-new All-in-one Vacuuming & Mopping DEEBOT X1 Family in Malaysia

ECOVACS ROBOTICS (“ECOVACS”), the world’s leading service robotics brand, unveiled a new flagship DEEBOT X1 Family that are the industry’s first all-round robotic vacuum cleaners. Launched under the theme “Tomorrow’s Robots, Today.”, the DEEBOT X1 Family, which includes DEEBOT X1 OMNI and DEEBOT X1 TURBO along with the industry’s first all-in-one base station OMNI Station, combines function and design.

It creates a new home service robotics industry benchmark for premium house cleaning and sets the direction for future development by featuring ECOVACS’ strongest suction power of 5000Pa, the latest AIVI™ 3D and TrueMapping 2.0 technologies, and the industry’s first natural language interactive AI voice assistant YIKO. Jacob Jensen Design worked on the design, turning each DEEBOT X1 model into an art piece that will perfectly fit any elegantly-designed home.

David Qian, Chief Executive Officer of ECOVACS ROBOTICS, said, “The newly launched DEEBOT X1 Family takes the home services robotics to the next level with a series of new intelligent technologies that were designed to bring unparalleled automation, convenience, and benefits to our customers.”

Unique OMNI station and more powerful cleaning functions bring unparalleled convenience and benefits to users

The DEEBOT X1 OMNI is the first robotic vacuum cleaner to manage the entire floor cleaning process. Beyond sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping, the new models also wash and dry the mopping pads and collect more dust using the new base station, making it the first all-round robotic vacuum cleaner that genuinely frees users from housekeeping chores.

The OMNI Station, ECOVACS’s first all-round base station, is also the world’s first to integrate automated dust collection, cleaning the mop, refilling water, and hot air drying. The all-round base station OMNI Station has a 4L clean/dirty water tank to automatically store and recycle the wastewater after cleaning the mopping pad and refilling the water tanks of the DEEBOT X1 OMNI model with clean water.

The DEEBOT X1 Family also comes with a single-function station — Cleaning Station — that works with the DEEBOT X1 TURBO model. After each cleaning round, the base station automatically washes the mopping pad and dries it using cool air to remove odor when working in humid environments.

Both base stations allow the DEEBOT X1 Family to vacuum and mop longer, changing how users will use high-end robotic vacuum cleaners and ushering a new era for the home service robotics industry.

The DEEBOT X1 Family also features the strongest mopping system, the OZMO™ Turbo 2.0 Rotary Pressure Mopping System. It combines high pressure and high-speed rotation of 180 rpm (rotations per minute) to effectively clean stubborn stains, including coffee and soy sauce stains solidified after three days.

The combination of the powerful suction system and OZMO™ Turbo 2.0 Rotary Pressure Mopping System makes the DEEBOT X1 a multifunctional flagship. Unlike other sweeping and mopping solutions in the industry, the DEEBOT X1 keeps the mopping pad moist to ensure both steps are completed efficiently in one go.

More intelligent AIVI™ 3D and 3D maps unveil exciting potential

ECOVACS added the brand-new AIVI™ 3D technology to the DEEBOT X1 Family, significantly improving the robot’s perception of the environment using laser and visual sensing technologies.

ECOVACS ROBOTICS Introduces Intelligent Floor Cleaning with Launch of DEEBOT T10 in Malaysia
The series features the RGBD sensor, the most complex sensor developed by ECOVACS. It includes HDR dynamic range imaging technology and can accurately capture environmental images and semantic information in a dark environment.

The TrueMapping 2.0 technology speeds up mapping and offers a wider field of view. With AIVI™ 3D technology support, ECOVACS adds a third dimension to household mapping. The combination increases mapping speeds by ten times, doubles the visual range, cuts cleaning time by 25%, and allows the robots to navigate more precisely across different home environments. By making it easier to target specific dirty areas and locations, the robots transform the cleaning experience to be more convenient and efficient.

The DEEBOT X1 Family runs on Horizon GAI chips. It is the first time autopilot technology has been used in home service robots. The new chips dramatically improve the robots’ ability to identify and sense different object types while building environmental information in 3D and creating different home segments for targeted cleaning. The chip firmware also supports over-the-air (OTA) upgrades.

ECOVACS’s YIKO Voice Assistant enhance user experience, recommended by Google

ECOVACS firmly believes that natural language interaction will become most important for human-bot interaction. The DEEBOT X1 Family has the industry’s first built-in natural language interactive assistant, YIKO. By combining voice and visual AI algorithms, YIKO enables natural language communication and multimodal interaction in English.

When integrated with other robot functions, it allows users to control and precisely guide the robots while simplifying complex household tasks with voice instructions.

YIKO uses several AI intelligent voice interaction technologies, including voice semantics from Google, to improve the accuracy and response times, bringing users unprecedented natural langue interactive experience. Users can build a complete map for efficient cleaning by saying, “OK YIKO, quick map building.” YIKO transforms the user experience, turning the DEEBOT X1 Family from highly intelligent cleaning tools to truly home service robotics.

Jacob Jensen Design turns DEEBOT X1 into an art piece

The prestigious Danish design company Jacob Jensen Design adds authentic Nordic minimalism into the design of the DEEBOT X1 Family, turning house robots into art pieces. This is the first time Jacob Jensen Design worked on home service robots.

The base station’s durable silver metal body with the silver and black rectangular elements and touch buttons complement high-end home environments.

With Jacob Jensen Design’s minimalistic design, the DEEBOT X1 Family becomes a household art piece that every home will want to have. With more powerful functions and keeping design and quality as its top priority, the new family is ready to meet customers’ evolving needs by marrying form and function.

Price and availability

DEEBOT X1 OMINI’s suggested retail price is RM7,999 and it will be available on
Shopee
 from March 26 to 27 with a special price at RM4,999. DEEBOT X1 TURBO’s suggested retail price is RM6,999 and it will be available on
