I received the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra recently for review and I had a great time testing out the camera and mostly gaming. And what did I find out? I love it 100%! So here’s my full review on the superb Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

First Look

First of all, let’s talk about the design. The S23 Ultra looks very similar to the S22 Ultra from last year, but there are some subtle changes that make it more refined and durable. The phone has a 6.8-inch AMOLED display that curves slightly at the edges, but not as much as before, which gives more room for the S Pen stylus to work with.

All I can say is that it is a stunning display. The Dynamic AMOLED screen with a resolution of 3088 x 1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz is simply gorgeous. The display is bright, sharp, and smooth, and it supports HDR10+ for enhanced colours and contrast. The display also has an adaptive feature that adjusts the refresh rate according to the content you’re watching or playing, which saves battery life and improves performance.

The design of the Galaxy S23 Ultra is also impressive. The back of the phone is made of frosted glass that feels nice and grippy, and it also has Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, which is supposed to be more resistant to scratches and drops than ever before. The phone has a curved edge screen that gives it a premium look and feel. At the back, the camera houses some impressive sensors.

One thing that sets the S23 Ultra apart from other flagships is the S Pen support. The stylus hides pretty well on the bottom side of the phone. The S Pen has a nice weight and feel to it, and it works seamlessly with the phone’s screen and software. You can use it to write on any app, launch shortcuts, control media playback, and more. It also has Bluetooth connectivity, so you can use it as a remote shutter for the camera or a pointer for presentations.

The buttons are located at a familiar position. The volume rocker and the power button is located on the right side while the left side is kept simple without any buttons. At the top, there’s one of the two microphones while at the bottom, there’s the S-Pen slot, USB Type-C port, the bottom firing speaker, the other microphone and the SIM tray. The rounded edges at the sides made it easier and more comfortable to hold.

The phone has a quad-camera setup on the back that consists of a 108MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom, and a 10MP periscope camera with 100x digital zoom. The camera quality is amazing, and it can capture stunning photos and videos in any lighting condition. The phone also has IP68 water and dust resistance, stereo speakers, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, and a USB-C port that supports 45W fast charging.

The camera app has a lot of features and modes to play with, such as portrait mode, night mode, pro mode, single take mode and more. You can also record videos up to 8K resolution at 24fps or 4K resolution at 60fps with HDR10+ support and stereo sound. The video quality is excellent, with smooth stabilisation, fast autofocus, and good audio. More on the camera much later along with some sample photos.

Performance and Daily Use

The performance of the S23 Ultra is also top-notch, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip made exclusively for Samsung by Qualcomm. This processor is faster and more efficient than any other Android chip on the market right now, and it can handle anything you throw at it with ease. Whether you’re browsing the web, playing games, multitasking, or editing videos, the S23 Ultra will not disappoint.

The phone also comes with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage that can be expanded via a microSD card slot. The software is One UI 5.1 based on Android 13, which is smooth and intuitive. Samsung has added some new features and improvements to its custom skin, such as better privacy controls, more customization options, enhanced multitasking capabilities, and more.

The battery life of the S23 Ultra is also very good, considering how powerful and feature-packed this phone is. The phone has a 5,000mAh battery that can last for a full day of heavy use or even longer if you’re more conservative.

When it comes to performance, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is a beast. If you are looking for a smartphone that can handle graphic demanding games such as Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile, you might want to consider the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I had a great time playing games on the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Although it is made more for working executives, it is also a great entertainment device. That means binge watching movies on Netflix or Disney+ is an immersive experience, thanks to the stereo speaker that comes with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Sound came out loud and the bass was punchy. As an added bonus, it comes with Dolby Atmos as well.

You can also multitask with ease, thanks to the One UI 5.1 software that lets you use multiple windows and split-screen modes. The Galaxy S23 Ultra also boasts an impressive benchmark score on Antutu with 1212941 points, surpassing many of its competitors in terms of CPU, GPU, memory and overall performance. I was impressed by how well the Galaxy S23 Ultra handled gaming, even at high settings and with multiple apps running in the background.

The battery life was also decent, lasting for about 4 hours of continuous gaming on a single charge. The Galaxy S23 Ultra is definitely one of the best gaming smartphones on the market right now (although it is not made for gaming in mind), and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves playing games on their phone.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is truly a powerhouse when it comes to photography and videography. It has a camera system that can rival some professional cameras and deliver stunning results in any situation. If you’re looking for a smartphone that can capture your memories in the best possible way, you should definitely check out the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra can also record videos in up to 8K resolution at 30fps, or 4K resolution at 60fps, with HDR10+, stereo sound, and gyro-EIS. It also has a 360-degree audio recording feature that captures sound from all directions in videos.

Here are some sample photos that I’ve taken with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

While taking some indoor shots, the image turns out great even when the lights are low. Details are superb without the inclusion of noise or blurry spots.

Same goes while using the ultrawide angle camera. Photos turns out great without any distortions around the corners. Colours are spot on.

Outdoors are often problem free. From the pictures above, details are clear and colour accuracy is true to life. I seldom came across any problems while shooting outdoors even with some mid-range devices. But using a flagship such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, I was extremely pleased with the results.

Playing with zoom with objects such as the blue, while and yellow balls above, doesn’t seem to have any problems as well. Colours are the same across all zoom levels and details are excellent.

These are some of my favourite shots taken with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. I was on a high floor in a building and taking the breathtaking view of the cityscape close to 7pm. Sun is down and I managed to capture awesome details of the clouds. No edit was done. These photos are direct from the phone itself. And then I zoom in to capture the Merdeka 118 tower. What do you think of that?

And then it’s night time taken from another angle using the night mode.

And another photo in almost complete darkness. No details were lost and colours are gorgeous.

Playing with zoom is fun, like I did with the photo series above. This was taken indoors (obviously) at McD.

Some random shots taken to see whether I can get good details when I go up close and a subject while in motion. I’m happy with the details and colour accuracy here.

Selfies and wefie are good too. The front camera performed well by capturing good details of my face and hair. All I can say is that, you can’t go wrong with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Now this is a bonus picture. There happened to be an almost full moon at night and I managed to capture this. Of course, I had to put the phone on a tripod to get a steady shot. And here is the result. Nice eh?

With that, all I can say is that I’m amazed at the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s camera performance. Camera score: 10/10.

Conclusion

Shopee Express Couriers: A Story of Community Inclusion and Business Success

Backbone of Community Enablers: Almost 90% of Couriers Driving Change Beyond Deliveries

A new study by Shopee Express has found that 1,317 Malaysian couriers are committed to building robust relationships with local communities.
87% of couriers surveyed provide trustworthy nationwide delivery services, engage with people from diverse cultures, and develop a deeper understanding of the areas they operate in.
 The remaining believe that their work enables local businesses to expand their market reach, which contributes to their growth and creates new job opportunities.

The success of businesses and communities relies heavily on these couriers who are truly unsung heroes. Especially for local businesses, they are always adapting to meet the changing demands of their customers, while many households, especially those of the elderly and disadvantaged, have greatly benefited from the services of couriers. This is made possible by the fact that
80% of couriers deliver at least 80 parcels on a daily basis,
while the rest handle a smaller number of parcels due to other commitments.

Given their intention to deliver parcels safely to the customers they value,
80% of couriers prioritise customer needs by considering factors such as urgency, location, and timing,
while the other 20% take into account their own capabilities, such as parcel size, weight, and order received, when evaluating the feasibility of delivering parcels.

When asked ”What do you enjoy most about working as a Shopee Express courier?” –
56% of couriers enjoy the job’s flexibility and breaks,
25% value the opportunity to take ownership of their successes and hard work, and 19% appreciate the teamwork and training courses that come with being part of the community. Couriers also have been able to support their households by scheduling work trips at their convenience, which allows them to maintain their standard of living while continuing to develop their skills.

With countless deliveries to complete everyday, these couriers believe that having certain qualities is helpful in making them more efficient and productive.
80% of couriers surveyed identified honesty and reliability as crucial
 – they are responsible for delivering parcels safely, on time, and securely to customers. 20% think that possessing a positive mindset and ample knowledge is essential, which means being able to adapt to changes and staying calm in difficult situations.

All couriers know that customers want their parcels to arrive safely.
8 out of 10 couriers recalled pushing through circumstances to deliver in bad weather or remote areas
, whereas the remaining couriers remembered playing a role in making someone feel valued by delivering for special occasions. These experiences motivate couriers to keep doing their job as it reminds them of the positive impact they have on people’s lives.

Cheah Lee Sun, Head of Shopee Express,
 said, “Our couriers clearly play a crucial role in the communities they serve. We appreciate their tireless efforts to complete deliveries on time and build stronger connections with customers. As the backbone of our business, we are here listening to their needs and accommodating them as much as we can. This is just one of the ways we provide a better peace of mind not just to our couriers, but also to our customers who rely on us to deliver their parcels with utmost care and efficiency.”

When asked how being a Shopee Express courier impacted their lives,
34% of couriers had improved their time management skills by prioritising their tasks effectively.
For 27% of them, their work allowed them to provide meaningful support to their families. 23% learned about the importance of being accountable in delivering parcels, and 16% felt a sense of purpose in life and saw opportunities for career advancement.

“We are happy to see that many of them have a better understanding of how to communicate with customers, build rapport, and become more skilled over time in managing a consistent stream of work and balancing personal responsibilities,” Cheah concluded.

Tips for Organizing the Ultimate Trade Show

Organizing a trade show can be an incredibly rewarding experience, as it can help to boost your business, create new connections, and provide you with valuable publicity. However, to ensure that everything goes smoothly, you need to plan carefully and execute flawlessly. In this article, we will explore some key tips that can help you take your trade show from ordinary to extraordinary, making it an unforgettable experience for all involved.

Define your objectives and resources

Before you get into the nitty-gritty details of organizing your trade show, it’s important to establish what you hope to achieve from the event, like generating leads, showcasing new products, or launching a new brand. Defining your objectives will help guide you as you make decisions, and ensure that your trade show is set up for success.

Another key aspect is determining the resources you have available, such as your budget, staff, and location. Understanding your resources can help you identify where you need to be more selective or allocate extra investment to maximize the potential returns of your trade show.

Prepare for the logistics

From shipping to customs clearance, organizing a trade show can be a logistical nightmare if you’re ill-prepared. Fortunately, using tools like the
ATA Carnets
 can help you streamline the process, enabling temporary import and export of goods without paying duty or taxes. Investigate the requirements and be prepared to deal with these logistical challenges.

Another consideration is hiring professional
trade show photographers
 to capture every moment of this unique event. High-quality photography can generate powerful marketing material for future events, as well as provide invaluable content for social media and online marketing efforts.

Choose the perfect venue

Selecting the right venue will not only make an impact on your trade show’s success but will also affect how attendees perceive your event. Consider factors such as space, location, and accessibility when narrowing down your options.

Catering to the needs and preferences of your audience, such as offering tailored experiences for VIP guests, can make a world of difference in their overall satisfaction. Another option is to include memorable giveaways or offering exclusive access to resources, such as whitepapers or industry reports, adding value for those who attend your trade show.

Altogether, organizing a successful trade show requires a well-thought-out plan and meticulous execution. By keeping these tips in mind, you’ll be on your way to creating a trade show that not only achieves your goals but leaves a lasting impression on everyone who attends.

What are The Latest Trends in Influencer Marketing

In today’s digital age, influencer marketing has become an increasingly popular and effective way for businesses to reach their target audience. Influencers are individuals who have established a significant social media following and can use their influence to promote products or services to their followers. With the rise of social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, influencer marketing has become more accessible and effective than ever before.

As the industry continues to evolve, it is important for businesses to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in influencer marketing to maximize their ROI. In this article, we will explore some of the latest trends in influencer marketing and how businesses can leverage them to achieve their marketing goals.

What are the influencer trends of 2023?

Influencer marketing has become an essential component of digital marketing strategies in recent years. With the rise of social media platforms and the growing influence of content creators, brands have been leveraging influencer collaborations to reach out to their target audience. As we move toward 2023, it’s crucial to understand the emerging trends in influencer marketing that will shape the industry.

One trend that is gaining momentum is micro-influencers. These are individuals with a smaller but highly engaged following who have established themselves as experts in specific niches or industries. Brands are turning towards micro-influencers as they offer a more authentic and relatable approach, which resonates well with their audience.

 can help businesses identify micro-influencers relevant to their niche and build long-term partnerships with them.

Why is influencer marketing trending?

Authenticity: Influencer marketing allows brands to reach their target audience in a more authentic and relatable way than traditional advertising. Influencers have built their following by sharing content that resonates with their audience, making them a valuable partner for brands seeking to reach those audiences.

Trustworthiness: Influencers are often seen as more trustworthy than traditional advertising, as their followers trust them to provide honest opinions and reviews.

Targeted reach: Influencer marketing allows brands to reach specific audiences more effectively than traditional advertising. By partnering with influencers who have built a loyal following in a specific niche, brands can target those audiences more precisely.

Influencer marketing is trending because it offers a cost-effective, targeted, and authentic way for brands to reach their target audience on social media platforms.

What is the future of influencer marketing?

The future of influencer marketing looks bright as it continues to evolve and adapt to changing consumer behaviors and preferences.

Increased regulation: As influencer marketing grows in popularity, there may be increased regulation to ensure that influencers and brands are transparent about sponsored content and comply with advertising guidelines.

Greater emphasis on micro and nano-influencers: As audiences become more skeptical of celebrity influencers, micro and nano-influencers (with smaller but highly engaged audiences) may become more popular for their perceived authenticity and relatability.

Integration of augmented reality (AR): As AR technology becomes more sophisticated, brands may begin to incorporate it into influencer campaigns to create more immersive and engaging experiences.

More focus on social responsibility: As consumers become more socially conscious, brands and influencers may be expected to take a more active role in promoting social and environmental causes.

Expansion into new platforms: As social media platforms continue to emerge, influencer marketing may expand beyond the current popular platforms like Instagram and YouTube to include platforms such as TikTok or Clubhouse.

The future of influencer marketing is likely to be characterized by innovation and adaptability, as brands and influencers find new ways to engage with audiences and leverage emerging technologies.

What is the next big thing in digital marketing?

The next big thing in digital marketing is likely to be driven by the continued evolution of technology and changing consumer behaviors.

Personalization: With the rise of data analytics and AI technology, brands are able to personalize their marketing messages to individual consumers in real-time, creating more personalized experiences for their customers.

Voice search optimization: As more consumers use voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to search for information, brands will need to optimize their content to appear in voice search results.

Augmented and Virtual Reality: AR and VR technology can create immersive experiences that allow customers to interact with products in new ways. As this technology becomes more accessible, brands may incorporate it into their digital marketing strategies.

Chatbots and AI assistants: Chatbots and AI assistants can provide personalized assistance to customers, helping them to make purchase decisions or answer questions in real-time.

Video marketing: Video content is increasingly popular, and brands are likely to continue to incorporate video marketing into their strategies. This may include live streaming, 360-degree video, and interactive video.

The next big thing in digital marketing is likely to be characterized by the continued evolution of technology, the rise of personalization and interactivity, and a focus on creating immersive experiences that engage customers in new ways.

Conclusion

Influencer marketing trends include authenticity, micro/nano-influencers, social responsibility, and emerging technologies. Brands must stay adaptable to leverage this evolving field to connect with audiences in a digital age.


WhatsApp Now Lets You Use One Account on Multiple Phones

Last year, we introduced the ability for users globally to

Today, we’re improving our multi-device offering further by
introducing the ability to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple phones
.

A feature highly requested by users, now you can link your phone as one of up to four additional devices, the same as when you link with WhatsApp on
web browsers
,
tablets and desktops
. Each linked phone connects to WhatsApp independently, ensuring that your personal messages, media, and calls are end-to-end encrypted, and if your primary device is inactive for a long period, we automatically log you out of all companion devices.

Linking phones
 as companion devices makes messaging easier. Now you can
switch between phones
 without signing out and pick up your chats where you left off.  Or if you’re a small business owner, additional employees are now able to respond to customers directly from their phones under the same WhatsApp Business account.

This update has started rolling out to users globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.

Also rolling out over the coming weeks, we’re introducing an alternative and more accessible way to link to companion devices. Now you can enter your phone number on WhatsApp Web to receive a one-time code, which you can use on your phone to enable device linking, rather than having to scan a QR code.

A Simple Guide on How to Back Up Your G Suite

Many businesses around the world have turned to the use of G Suite to work more efficiently. To say that they have made progress would be an understatement. G Suite, which is simply a web application that was created by Google for businesses, offers companies professional email service, shared calendars, online document editing and storage, video meetings, and more.

With these kinds of services, a business can increase simple and effective collaboration with others. If your business already has G Suite, then you should back it up. This will protect your data from being lost, overwritten, hacked, or compromised in any way. But how do you back up your G Suite? Here is a simple guide.

Reliable Google Tools to Back Up Your G Suite

Google has provided several
tools that businesses need for their G Suite Backup
. Some good examples of these tools include Backup and Sync, Google Vault, and Google Takeout.

Back up your G Suite with Google Vault – This tool is essential for those people or businesses that must archive their data for audits or legal reasons. So, Google Vault is an archiving tool, and it is basically used to retain data for a long period. This tool does not allow the user to restore their files to Google Drive or Gmail. Instead, they have to search their data, export it, and import it into G Suite.

G Suite Backup and Sync – This is most useful for those businesses that require a simple-to-use solution as long as their dataflow is not too intense. G Suite Backup and Sync allows the user to synchronize their local drive with Google Drive. This tool is very fast and secure and has an easy-to-use interface.

Google Takeout – Do you need to download your G Suite data to store it locally? Well, Google Takeout is exactly your tool. You can rely on it to select and download items across Gmail, Google Drive, contacts, and other services.

Choose a backup solution – The first step is simple: choosing a solution to back up your G Suite. These are the tools that you are going to use to back up your G Suite. You can simply conduct your research in the best way possible and find a solution that suits your business’s budget and needs.

Choose what to back up – The tool you are using will let you choose what data to back up. For instance, you can decide to back up emails, contacts, calendar events, and more.

Set up a backup schedule – During this step, you only need to set a backup schedule that suits all the business’s needs. Depending on the backup solution, you may be able to schedule backups to run automatically at regular intervals.

Monitor your backups – Monitoring your backups ensures that they are running efficiently. Most backup solutions will provide a dashboard where you can view the status of your backups.

Test your backup – Continue testing your backups to make sure they are working efficiently. You can simply do this by restoring a few files and emails from your backup to ensure they are recoverable.

Conclusion
