Together with Joe FIizzow, Hullera, and Bunga as realme 5G Ambassadors

realme Malaysia today released the realme GT Master Edition in the market followed by its global launch during the realme Fan Festival 2021. The realme GT Master Edition is furnished with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor chip, 120Hz Super AMOLED Fullscreen, and supports 65W SuperDart Charge. realme fans will be able to purchase the long-awaited flagship series of realme smartphones lineup starting from 9 September via its official first sale on Lazada.

“Two weeks ago, we have just launched realme Book in Malaysia, and today we are thrilled to bring another product which many Malaysian fans have been waiting for, the realme GT Master Edition. The realme GT Master Edition is the birth of another masterpiece through realme’s collaboration with Mr. Naoto Fukasawa. This Master Edition of realme flagship smartphones is the first brand to introduce 3D vegan leather technology in the smartphone industry. Fans can expect realme to continue its Dare to Leap spirit by developing and presenting more comprehensive devices and flagship experiences to them in the future,”
said Tiffany Teh, Brand Director of realme Malaysia.

Award-winning Master Design by Naoto Fukasawa

The design of realme GT Master edition is inspired by the most representative thing in travel – suitcases. Every time people open and close their suitcases, they will recall the story of their travels. Naoto Fukasawa extracts inspiration from life and amazes the industry with a new and interesting horizontal grid suitcase design on the smartphone that will arouse the urge of people to travel and explore. realme GT Master Edition also adopts a concave vegan leather process which is the industry’s unprecedented vegan leather design.

realme GT Master Edition offers two color options: Voyager Grey and Daybreak Blue. The use of low saturation and high tolerance grey color makes people feel comfortable and tranquil at a glance. realme used the most direct method – a 6-step ink printing process to achieve a delicate color effect. The color of daybreak used Japan’s patented PICSUS® technology – nano-laminate coating to give the phone a metallic shiny feel and enable it to refract holographic colors at different angles.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G Flagship Processor that adopts 6nm advanced process

The device undoubtedly brings a comprehensive and powerful performance experience as it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G flagship processor, adopting the current 6nm advanced process, four A78 architecture super cores, and the main frequency is up to 2.4GHz. realme GT Master Edition already supports the 90-frame mode of Honor of Kings.

The 64MP professional camera can record perfectly from far to near, from day to night, and from portrait to landscape. On the front, the device features a 32MP selfie camera with a Sony IMX615 sensor, F2.45 aperture, 85-degree field of view (FOV), and 6560*4928 resolution.

This sensor allows better image quality with high resolution, enabling every selfie to be super sharp. realme introduces the exclusive and professional street photography mode in realme GT Master Edition after working with many professional street photographers to discuss the methods in creating emotive and storytelling street photography. The two characteristics of ‘fast’ and ‘real’ are the keys to developing this new mode that can quickly capture and reduce the interference of algorithms.

In terms of filters, photography enthusiasts will also be able to try out the new Street filter that provides a science of colour for street photography. realme simulates film effects based on Kodak, a century-old imaging brand, to provide a visual effect with strong color contrast.

GT Mode On to Unleash The Greatest Performance

Galaxy Watch4 –  Your Wellness Starts Today

Samsung Malaysia Electronics today announced that the Galaxy Watch4 Classic and Galaxy Watch4 Bluetooth versions, along with Galaxy Buds2 will be available for purchase in Malaysia, starting from
22 September 2021 onwards
. These new devices have been redesigned to provide us with the best tools to manage our wellness.

We all strive to be the best version of ourselves – fitter, happier and healthier. Small changes to our daily routines, including changes to diet, sleep habits and exercise, go a long way in helping us get the most out of work and play. While the path to wellness is different for everyone, there’s nothing more important than to start focusing on our health from young.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch4 series takes health and fitness data tracking to the next level, featuring a groundbreaking 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor, which uses a single chip to run powerful health sensors, including measuring blood oxygen levels, and for the first time – calculating body composition.

Read on to discover ways you can make the most out of the cutting-edge data presented by the Galaxy Watch4.

Get a good night’s sleep, every day

Are you guilty of revenge bedtime procrastination? If so, is there a nagging thought in your head that it might be affecting sleep quality? You can now find out with the Galaxy Watch4’s sleep analysis function.

The sleep analysis function has been a fan favorite for users of the Galaxy Watch series, and rightly so – a good night’s sleep is fundamental to our overall mental and physical health. In fact, in the past year, Galaxy Watch users have checked their sleep patterns more than 800 million times!

To give you a more comprehensive understanding of your sleep quality, the Galaxy Watch4 tracks both your snoring and breathing patterns – so you can make informed decisions about your sleep to help you sleep longer and better.

The Samsung Health App on your smartphone detects the sounds of your snores, while the Watch4 checks your blood oxygen levels once every second. This data collectively informs your overall sleep score.

If you find yourself struggling to get a good night’s sleep based on your Watch4’s readings, you can consider following these steps to improve your sleep score:

Establish a daily bedtime routine
You sleep best when your body is used to falling asleep and waking up at a fixed time every day — even on weekends or holidays.

Watch what you eat and drink before
Avoid big meals, alcohol, caffeine, heavy, spicy or sugary foods four to six hours before bedtime, as these foods stimulate the system, making sleeping difficult.

Create a good sleep environment for yourself
Block out all distracting noises and lights. A room that is too hot or too cold can keep you awake. A cool environment is often the most conducive setting for sleeping.

Accurately track fitness and health goals through body composition

Many of us may be more familiar with relying on weighing scale readings as a general indicator of health – but there are limitations to this. Such readings do not consider the amount of muscle, fat and water in your body tissues, unlike a more comprehensive body composition analysis.
For the first time in a Galaxy Watch, the body composition measurement tool on the Galaxy Watch4 brings a technology more commonly available in smart scales at the gym or at the clinic to your wrists!

Capture the Best “Mirror Selfie” to Win a Trip to South Korea!

This is enabled by Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis (BIA), which captures 2,400 data points, delivering results in about 15 seconds. Quality isn’t compromised either – with a correlation of 98%, the Galaxy Watch4’s BIA measurements are as accurate as those from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, the gold standard of body composition measurements trusted by industry experts.

With these insights, you can now adjust your diet and activity levels to get your body composition measurements to a healthier range.

Ease your day with multi-device experience

On top of advanced sleep and body composition tracking, we’ve made the smartwatch and Galaxy experience even more seamless. Pair the Galaxy Buds2 with your Galaxy devices, and using Auto Switch, go from listening to music on your tablet to picking up a call on your smartphone in an instant as your earbuds switches audio between your devices, depending on usage. With Buds Controller, you can conveniently access and control your earbuds via the Galaxy Watch4 series, interchanging between Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient sound mode with just a tap on your Watch.

The new Wear OS Powered by Samsung platform allows you to tap into an expansive ecosystem right from your wrist – with popular
Google apps
 like Google Maps, and Galaxy services, like Samsung Pay, SmartThings and Bixby. It also supports third-party apps, like Adidas Running, Calm, Strava, and Spotify that is available from Google Play. So that you can enjoy smooth and convenient unified experiences everyday with your Galaxy Watch4.

Ultimately, the simplest routines and habits can go a long way in helping us optimize our personal health and fitness. With the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds2, Samsung brings years of R&D and cutting-edge technologies to you, providing advanced insights distilled into an easy-to-digest interface, guiding you towards making informed decisions that optimize your health, fitness and overall wellness.

Galaxy Z Series the First to Bring IPX8, S Pen, and Under Display Camera Capabilities

In recent decades we saw mobile phones drift away from their quirky designs of the 2000s, where foldables phones of all shapes and colours were a staple icon that defined the era. In a bid to preserve this creative and highly personal expression, Samsung is breathing new life into foldable designs through the latest entries in their Galaxy Z Series.

With the Galaxy Z Series, Samsung showed their drive for innovation by creating foldable phones for the future – through merging modern hardware and intelligent features to create an experience of many firsts in the history of foldable devices, which includes pushing boundaries to make
this generation’s Galaxy Z Series the world’s first Foldables, to earn an IPX8 water-resistance rating
, ensuring that the devices are equipped to handle accidental spills or worry if users get caught in the rain. Both devices are also built with the new
Armor Aluminum—one of the strongest aluminum ever used on a Galaxy smartphone
—along with one of the toughest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™ to protect against scratches and accidental drops.

Samsung takes pride in providing a true 2-in-1 experience with foldables in the Galaxy Z Series by giving users the feel of owning both a mobile phone and tablet under one package. While users of the past had to choose between one or the other, Samsung has closed the gap by enabling the
Galaxy Z Fold3 5G to be the first foldable device with S-Pen support
, propelling productivity to new heights while opening new possibilities for creativity.

Providing an immersive experience was also an important factor for the Galaxy Z Series and a large part of that was achieved through the excellent display screens of both the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Z Flip3 5G. Samsung took immersion a step further with the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G by making it
the first foldable device with an Under Display Camera

Why Malaysians Are More Excited About Steam Deck Than Nintendo Switch OLED

Recently, Valve announced its first exciting handheld console, Steam Deck, right after Nintendo reported their own upcoming handheld, the Nintendo Switch OLED. With their side-by-side announcement, people can’t help but compare the two (
exhibit A
).

Thus,
e-commerce aggregator iPrice Group
 determined which console is gaining more interest in Asia. They also found out which among the two is likely to have more cross-console games, and which existing platforms have the most cross-platform games.

It seems that Steam Deck has stolen Nintendo’s thunder as all Asian countries recorded in the study are much more interested in the former. Across the 10 Asian countries observed, Steam Deck has nearly 3x Nintendo Switch OLED’s Google search interests within July 2021.

Steam Deck Takes Malaysia’s Interest

Steam Deck is also causing more excitement in each Asian country. In Malaysia, Steam Deck’s search volume is almost 2x more than Nintendo Switch OLED’s. According to Google searches, we can see in the breakdown of states that Steam Deck is dominating the interest of Malaysians.

For instance, Malacca, Pahang, Kelantan, Perak, Kedah, and East Malaysia had 100% full interest in Steam Deck. Other states such as Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Penang and Selangor showed a big gap between these two consoles. This might be because some of the gamers may already own a Nintendo Switch console and OLED’s games are still compatible with the older Switch model. Therefore, they have no reason to upgrade to the latest Nintendo Switch OLED unless they want better specs. Hence, they are eager to look for another brand new handheld console like Steam Deck to combat the COVID-induced boredom.

Asians’ Impressions Towards Steam Deck & Nintendo Switch OLED

In Japan, for instance, Steam Deck’s search volume is almost 8x more than Nintendo Switch OLED’s.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are two of the few countries that seem to give an almost equal amount of interest in both consoles, with a 60:40 ratio (60% Steam Deck, 40% Nintendo Switch).

However, Southeast Asian countries anticipate Steam Deck more than Nintendo Switch OLED. The biggest gap of search volumes is experienced in Indonesia where Steam Deck takes 84% of online searches compared to 16% of Nintendo Switch OLED. Meanwhile, the gap of interest in Singapore is narrower, with a 61-39 ratio. As a region, there would be 2.6 more Google searches for Steam Deck than Nintendo Switch OLED.

So, what is it about Steam Deck that makes it more appealing anyway?

According to
GameDaily.biz
, cross-platform games are becoming the new standard and expectation for gamers. Cross-play games are especially being considered during the pandemic when people play games to connect with one another through multiple platforms. Game developers like Phoenix Labs advocate cross-play games to bring communities together “regardless of geographic location or platform”.

That said, cross-console games may be a big deciding factor for gamers, especially if they are looking for more friends to play with online. And iPrice recorded Steam to have the most number of cross-play games across all platforms. It has 111 more cross-play games than Nintendo Switch does. In fact, out of all gaming devices recorded, Steam has the most cross-play games, recording a total of 172.

PlayStation 4 records to have the second most cross-play games with 147 games, followed by Xbox One with 109 games.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X have the least cross-play games with 28 and 33 games respectively. However, PS 5 and Xbox Series S/X were just released recently, so it can mean that more games are still being developed for these consoles.

Aside from Steam’s number of cross-play games, Steam Deck is going to be Valve’s first ever console which contributes to its hype and excitement. Nintendo has come up with numerous consoles before, and so it’s not surprising for a brand-new handheld console to steal its thunder.

Nonetheless, Nintendo Switch OLED still generated quite a buzz, especially with the upcoming The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2. Zelda has always been deemed to be the most exciting flagship game of Nintendo since it hit the screens in 2017. Breath of the Wild 2 will be enjoyed with a wider screen and much better graphics. Steam Deck may out-spec Nintendo Switch OLED with its impressive processing power graphics card, but Nintendo’s games have always been unique and of high-quality, which is how it earned and maintained its huge fanbase in the first place. Overall, both consoles are worth anticipating.


Maxis Awards – Enabling Local Heroes To Help More Malaysians To Always Be Ahead

Launches inaugural Maxis Awards to recognize and empower innovative Malaysian enterprises who help the nation by driving positive change
Maxis committing RM5 million worth of support to the development and promotion of winning projects over the course of 12 months.
Several Malaysian-based projects to be selected in the next year, with the first two winning projects to be announced later this month

As the nation celebrates
Hari Kebangsaan
 and the upcoming
Hari Malaysia
, Maxis has launched its inaugural
Maxis Awards
 to recognise and support outstanding Malaysian initiatives whose contributions drive positive impact for their fellow citizens. As a social enterprise programme, the awards seek out visionary ideas from these heroes and collaborates to bring them to life.

“The launch of Maxis Awards is timely as it embodies the Malaysian spirit of always being united in hope through challenging times. We were inspired to find the best ideas and turn them into opportunities, as we believe that it takes all of us to be the best of us. With the right support and expertise behind our local heroes, we can empower them to kickstart a long-lasting, positive ripple effect on the nation. Importantly, this campaign is a true reflection of bringing to life our
“Always Be Ahead”
 brand promise,” said Tai Kam Leong, Head of Brand and Marketing, Maxis.

How the Maxis Awards work

Last month, Maxis invited enterprises to submit proposals on projects that could have a significant impact on the community and drive positive change. The proposals will be evaluated by a panel of Maxis judges based on a robust evaluation process. Shortlisted enterprises will then present their projects to the judges, and winners are selected on three key criteria – innovation, role of technology, and clearly demonstrates added value to the community either economically, socially, and/or environmentally. Several Malaysian-based projects will be selected in the coming year with the first two winning projects to be announced later this month.

Microsoft Asia Whitepaper – Data Sharing Key to Solving Asia’s Biggest Economic and Societal Challenges

The whitepaper, created with the Open Data Institute, captures lessons from governments and organizations in Asia that have embarked on data sharing initiatives
Building a foundation of trust, greater public-private collaboration, and a proactive approach by governments will unlock new opportunities to innovate and solve Asia’s biggest challenges

Microsoft today, with support from the Open Data Institute (ODI), released a whitepaper that reveals lessons to help governments and organizations in Asia fully realize the benefits of data sharing and collaboration. It found that establishing a foundation of trust through privacy, security and governance; collaboration between public and private sector stakeholders; and actions by governments to create a strong enabling environment, were crucial to building momentum on data sharing.

Today,
50% of the data generated
 by online interactions is amassed by less than 100 companies. If this ‘data divide’ continues, economic value will flow only to a few economies and companies in the region. The whitepaper titled “
Sharing Data for Impact: Lessons from Data Sharing Initiatives in Asia
” was launched as part of
Microsoft’s ongoing efforts
 to address the data divide, by empowering people and organizations to share and use data more effectively and equitably. With support from ODI, the whitepaper features learnings from 10 case studies of data collaboration across markets in Asia – including Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan.

Mike Yeh,
Regional Vice President and Director of Corporate, External and Legal Affairs, Microsoft Asia
, said: “Data is indispensable to managing some of Asia’s most urgent challenges – from combatting the pandemic, to reducing carbon emissions, and tackling cybersecurity. Regardless of the problem that Asia faces, there’s a good chance that data can be part of the solution. Asia is uniquely poised to be a leader in unlocking the potential of data sharing, as a populous, mobile-first region. But we know that unlocking that potential can only happen when a foundation of trust is established, and when the public and private sectors work together. At Microsoft, we are committed to partnering and growing with governments and organizations in the region to unlock the plentiful opportunities data can bring to Asia.”

Jack Hardinges, Programme Lead, Data Institutions, Open Data Institute,
said: “Data sharing is most successful when governments and organizations work together to drive an enabling environment that upholds security, privacy and interoperability. We are committed to building a world where data works for everyone. This means getting data to those who need it, particularly in response to UN Sustainable Development Goals. The case studies that inform the whitepaper’s learnings show us that Asia is on the way to establishing an open, trustworthy data ecosystem – and can take intentional steps to close the ‘data divide’ in ways that benefit societies and economies.”

Dr. Meri Rosich, Chief Data Officer, Standard Chartered Bank
, said “Data has the immense capability to unlock a more sustainable future for Asia, and create more value for businesses, governments and societies. Data science is maturing in the region, bringing us opportunities to skill and mature the workforce, customize solutions for customers, build better infrastructure and innovate. All these should be strengthened by established governance policies and strong ethics principles to drive the transformation that advanced data and AI solutions can bring.”

Trust Foundational to Data Sharing

A common theme is that a lack of trust can undermine data sharing initiatives – but this can be overcome through efforts to protect privacy and security, and through strong governance models:

Privacy
 management practices are essential, and there is a key role for tools like confidential computing and differential privacy – a practice used in the opening of LinkedIn’s labor market insights data
To uphold
security
 in data sharing, security-by-design approaches and alignment with security certifications promote trust – cloud-based solutions for data sharing deliver cutting-edge security protections for organizations sharing data
Governance models
 can also be built to protect commercial sensitivities – Through the AI Data Consortium in Japan, contract templates and smart contracts are being developed for AI practitioners to share data more easily

Greater Public-Private Collaboration

The whitepaper further establishes that opportunities for data can only be maximized through active public-private collaboration. Impact is greater when data is useable and interoperable.

Collaborating
on data reaps benefits – such as in sharing LinkedIn data on in-demand roles to close skills gaps in Asia or Microsoft cyber threat intelligence open-source data on COVID-19 related threats to bolster cybersecurity and inform policymaking
Useability and interoperability
 can be better facilitated through publishing data that anyone can use and redistribute and is available in common formats with no useability restrictions

Governments to Lead the Charge

Lastly, the paper demonstrated that governments have a key role to play in creating an enabling environment for data sharing to flourish. Priority actions for governments are to publish more useable government data, implement national data sharing policies, and engage with industry and other stakeholders to ensure that regulations affecting data sharing are balanced and transparent. Further regional cooperation to support data sharing through groups like ASEAN and APEC would also have significant positive impact.


Microsoft launches Code; Without Barriers Across Nine Countries in Asia Pacific

Thirteen companies join Microsoft to increase employability of female technical talent and nurture entrepreneurs across Asia Pacific

Microsoft and 13 companies across nine Asia Pacific countries today launched
Code; Without Barriers
to help close thegender gap in the region’s fast-growing cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technology sectors.

The program provides a platform to enable female developers, coders, and other technical talent to contribute towards inclusive economic growth, encourage innovation and better reflect the societal makeup of their region.

“The balance between consumption and creation is changing. We see developers increasingly influencing every business process and function. Which is why
Code; Without Barriers
 was created. We identified an urgent need to increase the diversity of cloud, AI and technical talent in APAC, so every country can achieve their national digital agendas and have truly inclusive economic growth,” said Andrea Della Mattea, President for Microsoft in Asia Pacific.

The partners in the program include Accenture, AvePoint, Government Big Data Institute (GBDi), HCL Technologies, Just Analytics, MetLife, NTT Ltd, PALO IT, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), Simbiotik Technologies, Thoughtworks, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK), and Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM).

These organizations operate in the areas of education, energy, financial services, public sector and technology in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Microsoft will provide skilling and certification in cloud and AI to increase the technical talent pools in the countries. Each of the 13 companies is committed to improving diversity within their organizations and offers career opportunities to female creators and developers. Equally, through a series of engagements, from career fairs to hackathons to mentorship and support from business leaders,
Code; Without Barriers
 will nurture and develop female entrepreneurs in APAC.

Code; Without Barriers
 works with more than 21 developer communities across APAC, reaching more than 407,000 developers across data, AI, DevOps, Java, JavaScript and Python and Women in Tech.

“We identified an urgent need in our region to increase the diversity of technical talent, as only
26% of professionals in data and AI are women and this drops to 12% for professionals in cloud computing
. For this to change, and for APAC markets to have a truly inclusive national digital agenda, it starts with breaking barriers and empowering developer diversity in our organizations and industries. It’s our responsibility as leaders of this community to shape what comes next; to show what’s possible when our digital worlds reflect the diversity of the society we live in,” Ms Della Mattea said.

Women in AI
 certification programs across eight APAC markets, training more than 480 women, and certifying 203 developers. Microsoft also hosted cloud skills challenges for more than 7,617 developers.

“Gender-diverse teams are smarter and more productive,” said Gina Smith, PhD, IDC’s lead analyst for DevOps and digital innovation in the Asia/Pacific region. “Hiring women in technology roles adds far more than a fresh perspective. Recent studies quantifiably demonstrate that gender-diverse enterprises demonstrably more innovation and higher returns than the mean overall. Programs like Microsoft’s
Code; Without Barriers
 go a long way toward bridging that critical gap.”

“It is an established fact that having more women in the tech industry benefits companies and societies. But creating the conditions for a more diverse workforce is a complex challenge – no single organization can do this alone. We have a shared responsibility to simultaneously remove barriers and uplift women, and I’m thrilled to see companies and organizations collaborate through Code; Without Barriers,” said Leanne Robers, Co-founder and Co-CEO, She Loves Tech.

“We can’t do this in isolation and are thankful that organizations across industry sectors have joined us in APAC,” shared Annie Mathew, Director, Developer Relations and Program Lead for
Code; Without Barriers
 at Microsoft in APAC.

Sustaining diversity by advocating for responsible AI

Microsoft’s
Code; Without Barriers
 team is taking this further, with an upcoming community playbook that tackles how to handle bias and how to sustain diversity in emerging tech.

“Communities look to Microsoft to address and share the best practices in Responsible AI, so that they can build in diversity, reduce bias, and ensure transparency in the work that they do. We are empowering a new generation of women in technology through
Code; Without Barriers
,” concluded Ms Mathew.

OPPO Reno6 Pro Gets a Full Battery Charge within 35 Minutes – What’s The Secret?

Now more than ever, our smartphones have become our lifelines – we need them when we scour for information, attending to work, documenting life moments, or checking in to public places and restaurants. These things make it an absolute necessity for our smartphones to be up and running all the time. However, with all the intense smartphone usage throughout the day, can our smartphone batteries keep up?

The OPPO Reno6 Series features battery-charging capabilities unlike any other. Featuring OPPO’s proprietary 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging, the OPPO Reno6 Pro’s battery is able to go from zero-to-hundred in just 35 minutes! With such ultra-fast charging speeds, users can have the peace of mind that even when rushing, a quick charge will be enough to get them through their next escapade.

But how does OPPO make this possible? Achieving such rapid charging speeds isn’t as simple as increasing the amount of electricity running into the battery. The secret lies in OPPO’s industry-leading battery and safety technologies.

OPPO VOOC Fast Charging

OPPO’s 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging capabilities feature an innovative Dual-Cell 3C Battery Design which enable parallel charging that is both fast and safe. This parallel charging between the two 3C batteries greatly reduces heat and ensures sustained flash charging and battery longevity.

Exciting, but is it safe?

Apart from that, OPPO has also implemented a vigorous
5 Layer Protection
 process to ensure that the charging speed is possible and safe:

Battery Overload Protection:
 A special circuit and switch ensures current from the charger is always safe.
Battery Fuse Protection:
In the event of a power surge or abnormal current, the battery’s fuse cuts off charging immediately for safety
.
Adapter Overload Protection:
Built-in sensors identify if voltage and current to the adapter are normal and ensure safety.
Identification Protection:
SuperVOOC Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) identifies if the connected device supports Flash Charging and supplies the proper current.
Interface Overload Protection:
 As current travels to the device, the MCU activates a MOSFET switch to protect against any overload.
