Daiki Moriyama, Director, Oasys,
said
:
“Congratulations to all our winners! We were heartened by the active participation from Korea’s blockchain gaming community – from the speed to the quality of the blockchain games pitched, we were impressed by the caliber of the game developers present at our game pitch event.

This feature goes hand-in-hand with
Battery Healing Technology
, that allows electrodes to be continuously repaired during charging cycles to again, preserve its capacity. Both technologies work to ensure your battery stays healthier for longer.

With the
6.7″ 120 Hz FHD+ Fluid Display
, you can experience a silky-smooth scrolling experience whether you are reading, working, gaming, or watching your favourite videos.

Not only that, you can also dive into immersive cinematic content with always-on HDR10+ and 10-bit colour for superior brightness and colour accuracy.

5G
, every image and video are guaranteed to be Insta or TikTok-worthy.

9. Stay Connected, No Matter How You Hold Your Phone

The compact, portable nature of smartphones means that they can be used conveniently in any position, orientation and almost anywhere. However, something that often goes unnoticed is how your connectivity can be affected by the way your phone is oriented in the moment and your immediate surroundings. This possibly explains the times when your phone loses its connection when you’re driving under an overpass or when you walk into a room with weak signal from your internet router.

The OnePlus 10T
5G
 eliminates this factor with a redesigned
15-antenna system
 which provides a

OnePlus Introduces the Fastest Wired Charging in OnePlus History With the OnePlus 10T 5G

OnePlus 10T
5G
’s charging system epitomising its tagline of ‘Evolve Beyond Speed’ with 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition
OnePlus 10T
5G
 ensures charging safety and efficiency with Battery Health Engine, dual charge pump, VFC trickle charging algorithm, customised Smart Charging Chip, 13 temperature sensors and 128-bit encryption algorithm

Following the deep dive of OnePlus 10T
5G
’s design, camera, and performance, Kinder Liu, Head of R&D Department of OnePlus, unveils today the super-fast charging capabilities of the premium flagship smartphone that will be launched globally on the 3
rd
 August.

The epitome of its tagline ‘Evolve Beyond Speed’, the OnePlus 10T
5G
 delivers the fast and smooth experience not just on the performance front, but also charging. This arrives in the form of the
150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition
, which is capable of taking its large 4,800 mAh battery from 1-100% in just 19 minutes. With merely 10 minutes of charging, users can enjoy a day’s worth of power as they use the device the way they want without being tied to a power outlet.

Accompanying the incredibly speedy charging, the OnePlus 10T
5G
 also supports a breadth of features that ensure its charging is safe and is managed intelligently. This begins with the
Battery Health Engine
 – an exclusive technology that powers two key features – the Smart Battery Health Algorithm and Battery Healing Technology – designed to extend the lifespan, and preserve the capacity, of the device’s battery.

This ensures the battery of the device retains at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,600 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition charge cycles, which is equivalent to four years of usage.

The
Smart Battery Health Algorithm
 can track and control the maximum charging current, keeping it within a safe range to reduce the probability of dead lithium cells, thereby extending the battery’s lifespan significantly. This feature goes hand-in-hand with
Battery Healing Technology
, that allows electrodes to be continuously repaired during charging cycles, reducing the damage done to anodes and cathodes in the device’s battery to, again, preserve its capacity. Both technologies work to ensure the battery of the device stays healthier for longer.

To bolster the safety features during charging, the OnePlus 10T
5G
 is also equipped with
a dual charge pump
,
VFC trickle charging optimisation algorithm
, and a
customised Smart Charging Chip
. The trio of systems works together to improve efficiency and reduce the amount of heat emitted throughout the charging process.

With the dual charge pump, when the OnePlus 10T
5G
 is charging with 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition, each pump provides a 75W charge to the device’s battery. This allows the OnePlus 10T
5G
 to charge faster with greater safety, improved efficiency, and reduced heat.

On the other hand, the VFC trickle charging optimisation algorithm adjusts the current and voltage of a charge to the accuracy of 100 mA and 10 mV to take charging efficiency even further, as well as reduce heat. This improves the charging efficiency of the last 10% of the device’s battery – from 90-100% – and minimizes the amount of time the OnePlus 10T
5G
’s battery spends at 100% to improve its longevity.

As for the Smart Charging Chip of the OnePlus 10T
5G
, it recognise the input current and voltage, before delivering an adaptable combination to the battery.

Taking charging safety and efficiency to the next level are the
13 temperature sensors
 that are also fitted within the OnePlus 10T
5G
to detect the device’s charging temperature at any time, further ensuring the device delivers a fast-charging experience that is safe.

Lastly, the OnePlus 10T
5G
 supports a
128-bit encryption algorithm
 that recognizes official SUPERVOOC charging adapters and cables so users can only charge at 150W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition speeds with hardware designed to support it. That is why all OnePlus 10T
5G
 models come with a 160W SUPERVOOC power adapter and a USB-C cable.

Omoji – 2022 Red Dot Winner

OMOJI from ColorOS 12 is supported by OPPO’s industry-leading Face Capture algorithm. With the high precision models of expression that is built upon 52 core facial expression together with 200+ stylistic elements, users are able to customize unique emojis that fits their personal style.

OPPO launched their latest addition of the Enco Air series recently and I got to experience two weeks of full testing and review of the new OPPO Enco Air2 Pro True Wireless Stereo (TWS). It is one of the latest TWS that I’ve tested and I think this one can be considered as my second favourite, right after OPPO Enco X2 TWS.

While it carries the “Pro” in its name, it is basically an upgrade to the previous Enco Air TWS. And it sits right below the Enco X2, in my opinion. The upgrade from the previous Enco Air is, however, quite a lot. They redesigned the earbuds to look better, lighter and with the inclusion of the silicone buds. Nope, they don’t have the silicone bud on the previous version. And the audio quality is much clearer and punchier. More on that later.

Design and Features

The design of the case still has the same pebble shaped look to it. If I were to skip this case over the water in a pool, it would probably go quite far. Having said that, the pebble shaped case is quite compact, thin enough that I can fit in my jeans pocket with almost no bulge. And the shape feels nice to hold too.

Opening the top reveals the two earbuds. The earbuds fit snugly into each of their pockets and are held down by magnets so that it will stay in place. The case is also the charging base for the earbuds. It holds 440mAh of battery juice and can hold its power up to a week before I start charging it again. On the downside, the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro does not support wireless charging like the Enco X2. But it doesn’t matter, charging up via the USB-C port takes less than an hour to reach 100%.

Speaking of battery, each of the earbuds holds about 43mAh capacity and each can last up to 4 hours of continuous play by my count with ANC turned on. It can go longer if you keep the volume to a minimum level or when you turn off the ANC.

In the box, you will also get a USB-C charging cable and two other replacement silicone buds of different sizes. I didn’t replace the silicone buds as the default (medium sized) one is just nice. It feels really comfortable and light that I would usually forget that I have earbuds in my ears.

Now, to pair up the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro TWS is super easy. You can simply do it either by pairing it via your phone’s Bluetooth settings or use OPPO’s HeyMelody app to do the trick. Both methods work. If you want to pair using the Bluetooth settings, just look for OPPO Enco Air2 Pro in the device list, tap on it and connect. If you’re using the HeyMelody app, just open up the app and it will prompt you to pair with the auto detected device and you’re done.

Using the HeyMelody app is better, in my opinion. With it, you can tune your new OPPO Enco Air2 Pro earbuds to your liking. On the main app page, you can immediately see the battery level for each of the earbuds. And below it you can select the Noise Control whether to have the ANC on or off, as well as transparency mode. You can also choose the Enco Live sound effects that will either boost your bass level or have it in original sound or listen to clear vocals. The setting that I will always have turned on is the Game Mode. This minimises the latency between my phone and the TWS. With the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro supports the latest Bluetooth version 5.2, the response time is really good.

Tapping on the next tab on the app shows the earbud controls. From here you can customise each tap and/or hold function on the earbuds. The touch control sensor is located in each earbud, near the top of the long “leg” on the tiny indent. That is the touch spot to control the touch and hold gestures. You can set it up for either the left or right earbud, each can be different. Controlling music with the tap and hold gestures is easy and once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s fun.

Also to note that I would take this OPPO Enco Air2 Pro out for a run, if that ever happens. Why? With Transparent mode turned on, it is safer to use an earphone when you’re out jogging. This is because it will also enhance sounds from your surrounding to make your aware of any traffic coming your way. It is also water and dust proof with IP54 rating.

Audio Check

This is the fun part.

My audio preference has always been a little weird, but probably common. I love punchy bass but at the same time I need the highs to be crystal clear to support the vocals. It’s pretty much a balance between the highs and the lows with the mids to be in the middle (duh). On full blast, if the bass is solid and stable, it means good. And that’s exactly my first test.

Choosing a tune that has strong bass is a little challenging but I will always test it with Metallica’s Enter Sandman. The beginning of the song is a rather hard bassy drum whereby my home speakers would shake the whole house on full blast. If the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro can have the same effect on my eardrums without any shatter noise, it passes the test.

Indeed, it almost passed my bass test. I said almost because I almost feel the punchy bass on full blast, but not enough to please my eardrums. I would say, another 10% boost on the bass should do it. However, I am pleased with the vocal clarity that it produced. Even the background acoustic feels just right to me. So in this case, it is well balanced across the board.

The earbuds are powered by 12.4mm Titanized Diaphragm Drivers that have a vibration area 89% larger than that of typical 9mm diaphragm drivers. They can deliver deeper bass and a wider sound field to maximise your listening pleasure. After listening with the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro for a while, I do realise that the overall audio quality is pretty solid and consistent.

I did mention that the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro is faster and with lower latency. This is pretty much true because I seldom use a TWS for my gaming sessions. My go-to game on a nightly basis is PUBG Mobile. And gamers will know how crucial it is to have a reliable and fast wireless earphone or earbuds. So this is a reason why gamers prefer a wired earphone instead.

But with the new OPPO Enco Air2 Pro, the response time between the phone and the TWS is low, thanks to the Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. If you have a phone that supports Bluetooth 5.2, it would be better. I really enjoyed playing my game with the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro plugged into my ears. It feels nice not having any wires getting in my way. And the audio quality is just as good. Love it!

Conclusion

Would I recommend my friends to buy the new OPPO Enco Air2 Pro TWS? Oh yes I would. The case size is small and thin, so fitting it in a jeans pocket feels comfortable and keeping it in a bag won’t take up too much space. The earbuds feel light and fit snugly in my ears.

Pairing it up is easy and fast. The HeyMelody app is easy to use and it has many functions. Audio quality is satisfying but I could use a punchier bass. Having said that, the overall quality is above average, in my opinion. Of course, the OPPO Enco X2 sounds a little better to my ears.

As for its affordability, I can say it is affordable for its quality and class. At
RM339.00
, it is a steal. There are two colour variants, White (the one I’m using) and Grey. You can already make a purchase for the OPPO Enco Air2 Pro at

OPPO Launches ColorOS 13 Global Version Featuring Brand-new Aquamorphic Design

Based on Android 13, the brand-new ColorOS 13 features the concise and comfortable Aquamorphic Design, smart interconnectivity, and overall performance improvements for a smarter, more convenient life

OPPO today officially released the global version of its latest Android-based operating system, ColorOS 13, to global users. As one of the first operating systems based on the newly released Android 13, ColorOS 13 incorporates a number of key Android 13 features while introducing a brand-new Aquamorphic Design for a concise and comfortable visual experience and user-friendly UI. Boosted by OPPO’s latest tech innovations, ColorOS 13 includes a range of new features for smart multi-device connection to further enhance productivity with intelligent experiences.

Concise and comfortable UI made possible with new Aquamorphic Design

Inspired by the way water acts in nature, OPPO has introduced a brand-new Aquamorphic Design to ColorOS 13 to create a fluid, vibrant, and inclusive UI. ColorOS 13 features a new Theme Palette inspired by the changing color of light between sunrise and sunset at sea level, while the new system font improves the readability of system text in any language. With other upgrades like Card-styled Layout, ColorOS 13 is designed to deliver a concise and comfortable visual experience based on Aquamorphic Design.

Aquamorphic Design

ColorOS 13 also delivers a more intuitive user experience through the integration of different Aquamorphic Effects into the system animations, UI, and Quantum Animation Engine with new Behavioral Prediction on users’ control intentions. This is complemented by OPPO’s human-centric inclusive design language, which introduces Empty State Illustrations, Adaptive Layouts for different screen sizes, and highly recognizable icons to enhance readability and overall ease of use.

Also, users can look forward to a new series of Always-On Display images called “Homeland”, which depict powerful scenes of wild animals in nature. The Always-On Display animations reveal the changes in the homes where animals live, based on daily temperature changes to call on you to pay attention to climate change and the earth we live on together.

Fundamental performance enhanced by self-developed technology

ColorOS 13 marks the debut of the Dynamic Computing Engine, OPPO’s system-level technical solutions developed in-house to deliver a more smooth and stable system and all-round improvements to the fundamental user experience. The Engine brings two major improvements to ColorOS 13, including increased battery life and the ability to keep more apps open in the background.

OPPO’s Dynamic Computing Engine improves the scheduling of hardware resources to extend battery life by achieving a better balance between high performance and low power consumption. It also helps to keep more apps alive in the background, making it possible to switch between multiple apps without losing the status within an app or experiencing lag while switching.

Dynamic Computing Engine

Intelligent work and life experience with the brand-new smart features

ColorOS 13 provides a realm of smart features covering every aspect of life and work. Aside from being a great way to express your personality, the Smart Always-On Display in ColorOS 13 can now display information related to music and food delivery apps, giving users quicker access to information and more convenient control over music playback and other functions. OPPO has partnered with world-leading software and service providers including Bitmoji and Spotify, to provide a wide range of convenient and personalized experiences through the Smart Always-On Display.

Due to OPPO’s industry-leading LTPO2.0 technology, the Always-On Display refresh rate is reduced to just 1 hertz to save 30% power consumption for some scenarios. Other smart home screen management features like Large Folders, Shelf, and Home Screen Widget also help users to easily and quickly access the information they need in the way that works best for them.

With online meetings becoming increasingly common following the Covid-19 pandemic, OPPO has developed the industry’s first Meeting Assistant for smartphone designed specifically for online meetings. The Meeting Assistant can automatically prioritize wireless data packages to provide a more stable connection during online meetings. It also simplifies banner notifications to minimize distractions while allowing users to add an OPPO Notes shortcut that helps to take meeting minutes with Notes in a small pop-up window.

One of the biggest updates to arrive on ColorOS 13 is the improved multi-device user experience. Multi-screen Connect now supports seamless connectivity between smartphone and OPPO Pad Air, and between smartphone and PC, boosting productivity and convenience through File Transfer that supports more file formats without hardware limitations. Users connecting their smartphone to a PC via Multi-screen Connect will also benefit from being able to display multiple mobile apps simultaneously on the PC screen.

Multi-Screen Connect for OPPO Smartphone，OPPO Pad Air and PC

Privacy and security protection as priority

Privacy and security have been a prior focus of ColorOS since the very beginning. ColorOS 13 integrates the underlying privacy protection features of Android 13. For example, the system will automatically delete the clipboard history after a short period of time, preventing sensitive information leaks caused by malware. In addition, with the Nearby Wi-Fi feature, users can enjoy Wi-Fi without revealing specific location information.

OPPO’s self-developed technology plays an equally important role in boosting privacy and security. Based on the on-device algorithm model, Auto Pixelate can recognize and blur out the profile photos and names in chat screenshots automatically with one tap, and the new Private Safe is encrypted with the widely-used Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to provide high levels of security. ColorOS 13 provides privacy and safety protections that users can trust based on authoritative security and privacy authentication standards such as ePrivacy, TRUSTe, ISO27701, and ISO27001.

Exploring new Android experiences in strategic collaboration with Google

OPPO has been working closely with Google during the development of ColorOS 13 to explore ways of bringing new value to the Android OS experience. OPPO’s flagship Find N foldable smartphone and Find X5 Pro flagship smartphone were announced as two of the first smartphones worldwide to receive the Android 13 Beta update. OPPO has also launched ColorOS developer versions based on the Android 13 Beta and will continue to work together with Google to build a rich Android ecosystem.

ColorOS 13 Based on Android 13 Beta Version Roll-out Timeline

ColorOS 13 rollout plan and upgrade policy

For the global rollout of ColorOS 13, OPPO plans to update nearly 35 smartphone models within the year, covering more than 60 countries and regions, and as many as 160 million users. This is the biggest update plan ever in the history of ColorOS. This rollout will begin with the Find X5 Pro and Find X5 today with the official release of ColorOS 13. OPPO will then continue to bring ColorOS 13 to over 20 more devices starting in 2023.

Recently, OPPO released their brand new lineup of smartphones, the OPPO Reno8 series and the new OPPO Enco Air2 Pro True Wireless Stereo. What they didn’t announce prior to the launch is their new tablet, the OPPO Pad Air. It was almost a surprise to some that OPPO finally launched a tablet for the Malaysian market in July 2022 and it is a very welcomed piece of hardware.

I received the new OPPO Pad Air about a week before the launch for full testing and review. I was amazed by the features and super sleek look of the new tablet. It is one of the thinnest tablets in its class and it has this cool “3D Dune” texture around the back that provides some extra grip when viewing it in landscape mode. It has a nice feel to it. And I think it’s nice to have it there.

Since it is the thinnest tablet in its class, the 10.36” screen size feels large and sleek. The OPPO Pad Air is using an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1200 x 2000 pixels at 5:3 screen ratio. It’s pretty much close to being a standard 4:3 ratio but slightly wider. Honestly I think the display is gorgeous for its class. AMOLED would be better but that would hike up the price a little more.

Do people still use a tablet these days? Well, since the pandemic and the trend of working from home started, the tablet sales went up as more people are in need of a larger screen mobile device for Zoom meetings, one to one chats and portability. Even school children are using a tablet for their school work and with the use of Google Classroom. Laptop is a better option but tablets are cheaper and most likely to be useful for some people.

When the demand is high, most of the brand companies are pushing sales on the tablet devices. So I think OPPO is making the right decision here by releasing a very capable tablet device for the Malaysian market. People are asking for better and faster tablets, and OPPO delivers well.

To keep up with the demand, OPPO has opted to include a powerful mid-range chipset, the Snapdragon 680 into the OPPO Pad Air along with a 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage as the base variant. If you need more power, you can choose the one with 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage.

During my test, the OPPO Pad Air is able to handle multitasking with ease and I had no problem with it slowing down or whatsoever. It was still able to run smoothly even when I had tons of apps open at the same time. The variant that I got for review is the base version (4GB of RAM + 64GB of storage). And yet, it runs smoothly without hiccups. The OPPO Pad Air runs on Android 12 with ColorOS 12.1 system. With the latest Android OS in use, the OPPO Pad Air feels really smooth and stable.

Battery capacity is great. It comes with a large 7100mAh capacity and is able to last me close to 4 days before hitting below 15% and charging it up to 100% takes about 1 hour 10 minutes or so on its 18W fast charging brick. However, during the nights when I was playing games on the OPPO Pad Air. the battery will deplete a little faster.

Speaking of games, I managed to install PUBG Mobile on the OPPO Pad Air but unfortunately, I can only have normal HD mode turned on. During the game, it does slow down a little and the performance is a little sluggish. I have reviewed another OPPO phone that uses the same SD680 chipset, and it plays PUBG Mobile without any lag. I assume it is because of the larger screen where it has to render and produce more workforce to get it running well.

Creative Labs Outlier Pro TWS Review - A Really Big Boom For Your Bucks

Nevertheless, I still enjoyed some good gaming sessions on the OPPO Pad Air. What I like most about it is the quad speaker setup powered by Dolby Atmos on both sides of the tablet. The quad speakers are loud and awesome. Playing PUBG Mobile on the device eliminates the need for an earphone. The quad speaker is able to produce great surround sound with immersive audio. Watching movies can have the same effect as well. It is one of the best sounding audio on a tablet in its class, in my own opinion.

Around the back, there is an 8MP single camera setup. It is just a basic camera that is able to take a decent photo when there’s enough light or when being outdoors in broad daylight. The 5MP selfie camera is located in the top middle of the long side, making it best to use in landscape mode for Zoom calls or online classes.

At this landscape angle, you can place the OPPO Pad Air on a stand for easy viewing. On top of the frame, there’s the volume rocker buttons while the power button is located on the top left side of the frame. There is also a SIM card for 4G data and MicroSD tray to add some extra storage to the tablet. The USB-C charging and data port is located at the bottom, in between the two bottom firing speakers.

If you have a small Bluetooth keyboard, you can simply pair it up with the OPPO Pad Air as an additional accessory. Typing will be much simpler this way. Great for digital nomads.

There are unlimited possibilities of what you can do with the OPPO Pad Air. With ColorOS 12, you can multitask like a pro. Your work will be made easier with the ability to have Split Screens, Flexible windows and Dual windows opened side by side. You can simply drag and drop documents, photos or any other files between one app to another with ease. And breaking that barrier, you can also drag and drop files or photos from another phone to the tablet the same way with OPPO Share feature.

Conclusion

To me, the OPPO Pad Air is currently the best tablet in its class. I love the audio and the display. Performance is great but is not made for heavy graphic gaming. If you’re into normal games like Angry Birds, you will love to play on the OPPO Pad Air.

I love the overall design of the tablet. The rear panel with the 3D Dune design looks great. I wouldn’t want to slap on a casing but it is better to have one with a kickstand. It is absolutely great for entertainment. Watching movies is very satisfying, all thanks to the awesome quad speaker setup with Dolby Atmos. Gaming was fun too.

I would recommend anyone to purchase this OPPO Pad Air if or when they are looking for a tablet. I had someone asking me about tablets a few weeks ago. I already started testing the OPPO Pad Air at that time and I quickly told him to check out this tablet. He liked it and made the purchase right after the official launch. Good for him.

So there you go. If you’re looking for a reliable tablet, do check out the new OPPO Pad Air. No lags, no hiccups and best for entertainment. You can now make the purchase starting from

I remember reviewing the OPPO Find X5 Pro three months back and kept telling myself how wonderful it is with such beautiful design and great camera. And I wondered when the same aesthetics will make an appearance on any of the mid-range OPPO phones. Well, my “prayers” have been answered.

The new OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G is everything X series, but without the huge price tag. It has the camera system powered by the same MariSilicon NPU as the Find X5. Same can be said about the design and feel of the device itself. Of course, it only has the “feel” of the X series. The OPPO Reno8 Pro has a glass front, aluminium frame and glass back to reinforce the structure but not as premium as the Find X5 that uses ceramic back.

Introduction to OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G

Having said that, the OPPO Reno8 Pro comes with many features, quite similar to the X series. First of all, the camera bump at the back is huge, covering more than half of the phone’s width but with a nice slope towards the inner section. Then there’s the two obvious camera modules that house a 50MP main shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera.There is also a 2MP macro camera setup right next to the main camera while the LED flash that looks like a mini ring light sits next to the ultra-wide angle camera.

Colour options are limited to two but believe me, they both look really nice. You will get the option to choose Glazed Green or Glazed Black colourways but I honestly think the Glazed Green that I’m using is gorgeous. I love the soft pastel-ish colour and it does elevate class and status in some ways.

I also love the squarish aluminium frame that is making some sort of a comeback these days. Everything is straight and squarish all around and it feels good. I mean, I do love the squarish frame more than I do with the curved ones. I can say that I am pleased with the OPPO Reno8 Pro’s design, even with the huge camera bump at the back.

If you’re a little clumsy, there is also a TPU clear case provided inside the box if or when you need it. Inside the box, you will also get pretty much the standard stuff such as the USB-A to USB-C charger + data cable, an 80W SuperVOOC charging brick for a quick charge up to 100% in 31 minutes, some documentation such as warranty + quick guide, and the SIM tray pin ejector. Speaking of the SIM tray, the OPPO Reno8 Pro does not come with a memory card slot for storage expansion. Sorry.

Display

And to make everything else look nice, the OPPO Reno8 Pro has a large 6.7” AMOLED display with 120Hz screen refresh rate and HDR10+. Unfortunately, the screen refresh rate is not dynamic. Therefore you can select to use 120Hz or 60Hz in the settings. That means if you select to use 120Hz refresh rate, it will render at 120Hz all the time thus you will run out of juice quicker than usual. But the 4500mAh battery is able to last me about 2 days or so. That is more than ample time to add in some work + play time. You will be able to extend more if you set to use 60Hz on the screen refresh rate during normal use. That’s a good point to keep in mind.

Power and Performance

When we talk about work + play, we will surely be talking about power + performance too. The OPPO Reno8 Pro is a masterful device that can do everything you throw at it in double time. Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max and supported by 12GB of RAM, the OPPO Reno8 Pro does not know how to slow down. I also got the 256GB storage variant, which is just right for me. Keep in mind that you can also increase the RAM via the RAM Expansion feature up to 7GB of additional memory.

On the software side, the OPPO Reno8 Pro comes with Android 12 out-of-the-box and is powered by OPPO’s own ColorOS 12.1. I honestly think the ColorOS 12 is more user friendly and intuitive when it comes to customising the look and feel theme. I had more fun customising an OPPO phone’s theme than any other Android phones out there. And I usually choose a wallpaper that matches the phone’s colourway.

I just love everything about the new OPPO Reno8 Pro from the design right to the hardware and software. It is a great phone for work, play and entertainment. When it comes to work, multitasking is made easy with its floating window and split screen features. I use the floating window feature quite a lot especially when I’m driving with my Waze open. I keep the Waze in a floating window so that I don’t lose my direction and Spotify as the main window for me to select songs from my playlist. And no, I don’t text while I’m driving.

OPPO’s Upcoming Flagship to be Powered by the Premium Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Platform
Speaking of Spotify, I am glad that the OPPO Reno8 Pro comes with really nice deep sounding stereo speakers. The earpiece doubles up as the second speaker accompanying the main bottom firing speaker. Audio comes up loud and clear, best to use when binge watching some movies or playing games. With the gorgeous AMOLED display, watching movies on the OPPO Reno8 Pro is very satisfying. So is gaming.

Gaming and Entertainment

I installed and ran Genshin Impact on the device because PUBG Mobile was having problems with the additional files. Genshin Impact however, uses more memory and really uses a lot of processing power for a smooth gameplay. In fact, it needs more power than PUBG Mobile. But having said that, the OPPO Reno8 Pro handles the game like a charm. The smoothness of the graphics is simply wonderful for this kind of game. Fight scenes with more than 10 enemies went on smoothly without any hiccups. It’s the kind of performance that you will usually get from a flagship device. I do experience lags and stutters with another device before this but none of those with the OPPO Reno8 Pro.

As for Antutu 3D benchmarking, the OPPO Reno8 Pro scored 711562 on the first benchmark test. About 2 weeks later, I did another benchmark test and this time around, it scored 732160. The score is pretty high for a mid-range smartphone. It’s probably because the MediaTek Dimensity SoC series has improved so much that I am beginning to love the Taiwanese chipset.

Camera

And to address the main feature of the OPPO Reno8 Pro, we now turn to the camera. As a recap, the OPPO Reno8 Pro camera system is powered by MariSilicon, the same NPU used in OPPO’s flagship Find X5 Pro. I find that they are both equally good when it comes to photography, especially night photography. But do take note that the OPPO Reno8 Pro uses a 50MP Sony IMX766 camera which is the current market favourite. On the other hand, no other phone makers are using MariSilicon NPU because it is solely made by OPPO for OPPO. And that is a big advantage.

Photography with the OPPO Reno8 Pro is very pleasant. Photos captured in broad daylight turn out vibrant and super clear. Closeup photos are good with the macro camera setup and the ultra-wide angle camera managed to capture well straightened photos without any warping around the edges. Portrait mode is OPPO’s signature move at this moment. Portrait shots turned up really well with a good background bokeh effect while the subject stays clear in focus. The blur is done seamlessly without looking weird around the subject’s edge. Like I said, it’s a pleasure to shoot with the OPPO Reno8 Pro.

Night photography was fun. It is better to have a tripod for better shots but I was shooting handheld all the time. I tried staying still while taking night photos on Night Mode and that worked well. I love how it handles everything smoothly. Just point and shoot. Set the mode that you want and go crazy. Turn on the AI feature for better photos. This works well too. What I’m trying to say is, it is so easy to take nice photos with the OPPO Reno8 Pro for beginners, and even better for those who love smartphone photography like me.

Final Words

And to conclude my review of the new OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G, I will tell you this. If you’re looking for a new mid-range smartphone as a replacement for your current mid-range device, do it if you want to experiment on using a different chipset or upgrade your photography skills with the new MariSilicon NPU, which I think is worth it. If you’re coming from a lower range device, it is a no brainer to upgrade to the new OPPO Reno8 Pro.

If you’re coming from an older flagship device, I would say yes too, also because of the photography capabilities and the MariSilicon NPU. Or you can simply get it just because you have read this review and you like what I said. Either way, there is much to love about the new OPPO Reno8 Pro.

You will get an ample 8GB of RAM for the base version that goes all the way up to 12GB of RAM with the ability to expand the RAM to an additional 7GB. You will also get 256GB of storage space which is more than enough to last you a few years before running out of space. The 4500mAh battery capacity can keep the device alive for more than 2 days by my count. A great entertainment device for movie and gaming with nice and loud stereo speakers for an immersive audio experience.

A phone that handles photography like a charm, shooting portrait photos just like a real DSLR camera, more or less. Selfie photos can have a great portrait mode as well, just like the main rear camera. Now your selfies will look more professional.

So what more can you ask for? I think the OPPO Reno8 Pro is currently the winner thus far for the mid-rangers. But that is only my own opinion. We are going through the Q3 of the year and during this period, I rank the OPPO Reno8 Pro as
numero uno
. Any other contenders?

August My OPPO Members’ Day – Exclusive Deals on OPPO Reno8 Series 5G and Pad Air


OPPO Reno8 Z 5G Launched with Eye-catching Design and Powerful Portrait Capabilities

OPPO today announced the launch of Reno8 Z 5G in Malaysia, completing its Reno8 Series 5G line-up. Powered by 64MP AI Triple Camera together with several AI-enhanced imaging features such as AI Portrait Retouching and Bokeh Flare Portrait, the new Reno8 Z 5G is designed to offer users unlimited styles for their portraits.

Alongside its outstanding camera capabilities, Reno8 Z 5G features a glass back cover and the Integrated OPPO Glow. With the aim to offer reliability and convenience to users, the Reno8 Z 5G comes with 8GB RAM-large memory and 256GB ROM storage space along with the optimized ColorOS 12.1.

Unlimited Portrait Styles for Every Scenario

Reno8 Z 5G comes packed with several imaging features driven by leading AI technologies to further elevate its portrait shooting experience.

–
AI Portrait Retouching
 is optimized to intelligently retouch skin tone and makeup without any artificial or excessive brightening. This feature is updated based on OPPO’s special survey feedback from thousands of overseas users regarding their skin tone and beauty preferences. Reno8 Z 5G can now deliver natural and vivid selfies with high resolution and high saturation.

–
Bokeh Flare Portrait
 offers quality portrait images by enhancing the brightness of the subject while automatically blurring the background and boosting the bokeh light spots.

The Reno8 Z 5G is also equipped with other impressive features like
Selfie HDR
, AI Palettes, AI Colour Portrait
, Ultra-Clear 108MP Image
, Flash Snapshot
 and more, to increase the overall imaging quality. All these superior features are backed by a powerful
64MP AI Triple Camera
, toggling between the 64MP high-resolution main camera, the 2MP depth camera for bokeh portraits, and the 2MP mono camera for dedicated details. While the 16MP front camera with pixel binning technology also improves portrait effects even in lowlight scenarios.

Exquisite Design That Stands Out

Reno8 Z 5G is the first OPPO smartphone to adopt a 0.5 mm anti-glare glass back cover with Integrated OPPO Glow. The double-layer texture and single-coating process gives the back cover a smooth matte finish with a glittery appearance, giving off an exquisite visual effect, while also being fingerprint resistant.

With its ultra-slim body that is approximately 7.66 mm in thickness and around 181 g in weight, Reno8 Z 5G is available in two trendy color schemes –
Dawnlight Gold
 and
Starlight Black
, both giving off a fresh and sparkling aesthetic. The Integrated OPPO Glow on the Dawnlight Gold extends the shimmering sand process of the back cover to the frame, the buttons, and the camera’s decorative base to create a more integrated visual effect.

Reno8 Z 5G is the first smartphone in the industry to adopt a spliced matte-glossy battery cover to replace the heavy camera base. The spliced layer is extended to the edge of the frame to elevate visual unity and create a refreshing yet dynamic look. Moreover, Reno8 Z 5G also features OPPO’s iconic
Dual Orbit Lights
, which are placed under the dual camera module to keep the phone sleek and slim. When turned on, the Dual Orbit Lights light up or blink depending on different scenarios.

On the front, a 6.4-inch
AMOLED display
 with
60Hz refresh rate
 delivers smooth graphics. The display is also Netflix HD and Amazon Prime Video HD-certified to ensure high-quality video content is displayed accurately.

Reliable Performance and All-round Experience

Reno8 Z 5G is powered by the
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 695 5G Mobile Platform
. The standard build comes with 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM. When manually enabling the RAM Expansion feature, the 8GB RAM can borrow up to 5GB from the unused ROM for smoother performance. Furthermore, the
33W SUPERVOOC
TM

is able to charge Reno8 Z 5G’s
4500mAh
 large battery to 100% in 63 minutes, and a 5-minute charge alone is enough for 3.4 hours long phone call or 2 hours of YouTube videos.

Palo Alto Networks – Software Vulnerabilities and Phishing Cause Nearly 70% of Cyber Incidents

Key findings:

Ransomware and business email compromise (BEC) were the top incident types accounting for nearly 70% of incident response cases over the past 12 months
Ransom demands have been as high as US$30 million (RM 133.6 million); average amount stolen from BEC attacks was US$286,000 (RM 1.27 million)
Finance and real estate received the highest average ransom demands, with an average demand of nearly US$8 million (RM 35.6 million) and US$5.2 million (RM 23.2 million)

According to a new report from Palo Alto Networks, the global cybersecurity leader, the heavy use of software vulnerabilities matches the opportunistic behaviour of threat actors who scour the internet for vulnerabilities and weak points on which to focus.

The
2022 Unit 42 Incident Response Report
 offers a multitude of insights gleaned from Unit 42 by Palo Alto Networks extensive incident response (IR) work, leveraging a sampling of over 600 Unit 42 IR cases, to help CISOs and security teams understand the greatest security risks they face, and where to prioritise resources to reduce them.

In the report, Unit 42 identified the top three initial access vectors used by threat actors were
phishing, exploitation of known software vulnerabilities and brute-force credential attacks
focused primarily on remote desktop protocol (RDP)
1
. Combined, these attack vectors make up 77% of the suspected root causes for intrusions.

Among the software vulnerabilities,
ProxyShell accounted for more than half of the exploitation
 for initial access at 55%, followed by Log4J (14%), SonicWall (7%), ProxyLogon (5%) and Zoho ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus (4%).

Ransomware and business email compromise (BEC) were the top incident types accounting for nearly 70% of incident response cases over the past 12 months.

Every four hours, a new ransomware victim is posted on leak sites. The ransom demands have been as high as $30 million, and actual payouts have been as high as $8 million, a steady increase compared to the findings of the
2022 Unit 42 Ransomware Report
.

Business email compromise (BEC) is a wire-fraud scheme that comes with a variety forms of social engineering, such as phishing. It offers hackers an easy and cost-effective way to gain covert access while maintaining a low risk of discovery. In many BEC cases, cybercriminals are simply asking their unwitting targets to hand over their credentials and getting them. Once they have the access, the median dwell time
2
 for BEC attacks was 38 days, and the average amount stolen was $286,000 according to the report.

The 2022 Unit 42 Incident Response Report reveals trends, future implications and offers recommendations based on data gathered from a year’s worth of investigations

“Right now, cybercrime is an easy business to get into because of its low cost and often high returns. As such, unskilled, novice threat actors can get started with access to tools like hacking-as-a-service becoming more popular and available on the dark web,” said
Wendi Whitmore, SVP and head of Unit 42 at Palo Alto Networks
. “Ransomware attackers are also becoming more organised with their customer service and satisfaction surveys as they engage with cybercriminals and the victimised organisations.”

Dwell time is the time of threat actors spend in a targeted environment before being detected.

Similarly in Malaysia, fraud remains the top and growing incident, followed by malware and intrusion, accounting for 95% of cyber incidents in the first half of 2022. Notably, malware incidents grew more than 300% among types of incident, compared to the first half of 2020 (3.56% in 1H 2020; 14.67% in 1H 2022).

“Identifying threat actors’ activity at their early stage is critical for organisations, especially those involved in heavy financial transactions. With increasing digital activity and unmonitored connected devices, 69% of the organisations in Malaysia are planning to increase their cybersecurity budget for 2022
3
.” said
Suk Hua Lim, country manager, Palo Alto Networks, Malaysia
. “It is vital for organisations to have complete visibility of their network and adopt a Zero Trust approach – “Never trust, Always verify”, upskill employees with cyber hygiene knowledge, and implement the updated cybersecurity resilience products.”

Palo Alto Networks State of Cybersecurity ASEAN Report

Affected Industries

In the report, Unit 42 identified that
finance and real estate
were among the industries that received the highest average ransom demands, with an average demand of nearly $8 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Attackers follow the money when it comes to targeting industries; however, many attackers are opportunistic, simply scanning the internet in search of systems where they can leverage known vulnerabilities.

Unit 42 also identified the top affected industries in incident response cases as
finance, professional and legal services, manufacturing, healthcare, high tech, and wholesale and retail.
Organisations within these industries store, transmit and process high volumes of monetizable sensitive information that attracts threat actors.

The report also reveals some statistics from IR cases that cyberattackers don’t want you to know:

In half of all IR cases, our investigators discovered that organisations
 lacked multifactor authentication
 on critical internet-facing systems, such as corporate webmail, virtual private network (VPN) solutions or other remote access solutions.
In 13% of cases, organisations had
no mitigations in place
 to ensure account lockout for brute-force credential attacks.
In 28% of cases, having
poor patch management procedures
 contributed to threat actor success.
In 44% of cases, organisations
did not have an endpoint detection and response (EDR) or extended detection and response (XDR) security solution,
 or it was not fully deployed on the initially impacted systems to detect and respond to malicious activities.
75% of insider threat cases
 involved a former employee

Six things to start to defend your organisation

Conduct
phishing prevention
 and recurring employee and contractor
security training.

Disable any direct external Remote Desktop Protocol access
: ensure all external remote administration is conducted through an enterprise-grade multifactor authentication VPN.
Patch internet-exposed systems
 as quickly as possible (given best practices for testing and responsible deployment) to prevent vulnerability exploitation.
Implement multifactor authentication
as a technical control and security policy for all users.
Require that all
payment verification
 takes place outside of email to ensure a multi-step verification process.

Consider a
credential breach detection service
 and/or attack surface management solution to help track vulnerable systems and potential breaches.
