New Premium LG Soundbar Delivers Next Level Audio For Today’s At-Home Lifestyle

LG Elevates Listening Experience to New Heights While Reducing

Environmental Impact Throughout Entire Product Lifecycle

At CES 2022, LG Electronics (LG) will introduce a new lineup of audio products with diverse models offering premium performance, unique and stylish designs and exciting, new sound experiences all the while ensuring accurate, immersive sound for home cinema, music and gaming.

LG’s impressive audio lineup is spearheaded by the premium LG Soundbar (model S95QR), which boasts an output of 810W and 9.1.5 channels of pure surround sound immersion as a holistic high-end audio solution.

With five up-firing channels including the world’s first center up-firing speaker – three on the soundbar and two in the separate rear speakers – to improve clarity and enlarge the soundstage for the ultimate in realism.

The perfect choice for movie lovers looking to elevate their home cinema experience, the LG Soundbar’s center up-firing speaker delivers clearer dialogue and makes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content even more immersive. And with IMAX Enhanced, users can enjoy stunning three-dimensional audio when watching compatible content.

LG S95QR features several key enhancements, most notably a boost in performance of the new speaker drivers, speaker chambers and subwoofer. The larger woofers deliver a more premium audio quality with deep, resonant bass emulating the immersive sound system of a cinema.

For 2022, LG upgraded the wireless rear speakers of its premium soundbar setup from four channels to six, with four front/side drivers to accompany the two up-firing drivers. An improvement over other speakers in this space, the rear speakers of LG Soundbar are designed to distribute sound evenly across a wide 135-degree space, giving customers more speaker placement and angle flexibility, especially beneficial for smaller rooms.

The soundbar features a more sensitive receiver that allows for more distance between the soundbar and accompanying subwoofer and rear speakers without sacrificing sound quality. With a more stable wireless connection, the LG S95QR eliminates drops or lags in audio output for distraction-free viewing and listening.

Thanks to the inclusion of Meridian Audio’s Horizon technology in Music Mode, the soundbar can up-mix two channel audio to 7.1-channels for more realistic acoustic surround sound.

A superb solution for gamers and music lovers, LG Soundbar features variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM), making this product a must-have for console gamers who demand that the onscreen action and the audio be in perfect sync.

With support for high-quality music streaming services, LG soundbar makes listening to one’s personal playlists and favorite artists all the more pleasurable.

What’s more, LG S95QR offers an intuitive user experience when working with to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and other AI assistants. Via smart devices, owners can effortlessly control streaming music, adjust volume and change sound modes and control streaming music, using only their voice.

And now with the LG WOWCAST Wi-Fi audio dongle, listeners can enjoy lossless muti-channel audio without the hassle of running an unsightly cable to the TV.

When connected to a compatible LG TV, LG Soundbar takes advantage of the TV’s advanced AI Sound Pro feature to make all content sound clearer and more lifelike. Cross-compatibility allows LG TV owners to use one remote to control both the TV and the soundbar.

And with enhanced AI Room Calibration, model S95QR can tailor its sound output to any given space, analyzing the dimensions of the room to deliver more accurate low-frequncy audio that is calibrated for maximum accuracy.

And again for 2022, the LG Soundbar lineup is designed with the environment in mind, with a lower carbon footprint throughout the entire product lifecycle.

In addition to shipping in 100 percent paper packaging and using recycled plastic resin for its outer case, the new soundbar models utilize a new composite fiber material that is lighter in weight to cut carbon emissions during shipping and transporting. And due to their relatively modest power consumption, LG Soundbar products save energy during usage as well.

Starting January 4 (PST), visitors to LG’s virtual
CES booth
 can experience the latest audio innovations for today’s lifestyles.

The interactive digital exhibit will feature LG’s full 2022 Soundbar lineup, XBOOM 360, UltraGear Gaming Speaker and the TONE Free lineup of true wireless earbuds including the CES 2022 Innovation Award-winning FP9 featuring UVnano case, Plug & Wireless, 3D Sound Stage and the one-of-a-kind Whispering Mode.

OPPO Find N is OPPO’s First Foldable Flagship Smartphone, Launched at INNO DAY 2021

OPPO, the global smart technology company, today launched its first foldable flagship smartphone, the OPPO Find N, on the second day of its annual OPPO INNO DAY showcase.

A result of four years of research and development and six generations of prototypes, the OPPO Find N brings a new approach to the foldable form factor and offers a refreshed user experience both for people who have used foldable devices in the past, as well as users who are new to the foldable form factor.

Pete Lau, Chief Product Officer of OPPO,
 said, “New form factors are ushering in an exciting new time in smartphone technology. OPPO has invested a significant amount of time and effort into coming up with a better approach to a foldable smartphone, experimenting with a range of form factors, hinge designs, display materials and aspect ratios, to create a new device that meets the needs of more users. With the OPPO Find N, we aim to change people’s perceptions about what a smartphone can offer and begin making foldable devices more accessible to an even larger audience.”

From Novelty to Necessity

The OPPO Find N brings together cutting-edge technology and unprecedented quality to create an improved foldable experience, offering a fully functioning compact smartphone when folded and an intuitive and immersive landscape display when unfolded.

Landscape Ratio

For the first time in a foldable smartphone, the OPPO Find N uses a landscape ratio for the inner display, striking a better balance for users to seamlessly switch between an immersive 7.1-inch inner display and a 5.49-inch outer display that offers a full smartphone experience with no compromise on size or usability.

With an 8.4:9 aspect ratio, the inner display unfolds directly into landscape mode so users can watch videos, play games or read books without the extra step of rotating the device. When folded, the 18:9 aspect ratio gives users a full, familiar smartphone experience with a display that is easy to use with one hand.

Flexion Hinge

The Flexion Hinge on the OPPO Find N brings together 136 components with extreme precision of up to 0.01 mm, ensuring the hinge works as smoothly as the joints in the human body.

OPPO’s unique water-drop hinge design solves some of the biggest pain points in foldable devices by widening the angle of the fold in the display and offering a buffer when the display folds, resulting in a minimal crease that is up to 80% less noticeable compared with other devices, according to TUV.

This design also practically eliminates the gap between displays when folded, offering a more integrated look and better protecting the inner display from scratches.

FlexForm Mode

The cam and spring structure inside the advanced Flexion Hinge allows the device to freely stand when unfolded at any angle between 50-120 degrees.

Together with a range of software features that take advantage of the folding display, FlexForm Mode on the OPPO Find N gives users the flexibility to adapt the device to a wide range of usage scenarios.

OPPO customized the user interface to operate better and more efficiently in compatible apps like the Music, Notes and Camera apps.

For example, in the Notes app, the OPPO Find N can convert into a mini laptop allowing you to take notes without needing to hold the device.

Since the Find N can freely stand at various angles, the device also serves as its own tripod, making 4K HD time-lapse imaging, video calls and online meetings easy and hands-free.

Serene Display

OPPO’s custom 12-layer Serene Display offers excellent protection and durability and works with the Flexion Hinge for a smooth foldable experience. The display includes a 0.03 mm layer of Flexion UTG (ultra-thin glass), compared to 0.6 mm for regular smartphone glass, allowing it to easily bend while providing strong durability.

The Serene Display is also very reliable, with the ability to be folded over 200,000 times while still maintaining an overall smooth folding experience with next to no crease, as verified by TUV.

The inner screen uses an LTPO display with smart dynamic refresh rate technology that adapts the refresh rate anywhere between 1-120 Hz based on the content you are watching. The inner display also features support for a touch sampling rate of up to 1,000 Hz.

OPPO has fine-tuned both the brightness and color calibration between the inner and outer displays to ensure a consistently smooth experience for users.

Both screens provide 10,240 automatic brightness levels, ensuring user comfort in all kinds of complex lighting environments, with a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits.

Software Innovation

A great software experience on a foldable device makes the most of the new form factor and gives users a fresh smartphone experience.

The 7.1-inch inner display of the Find N offers a 60% larger visual area than a standard 6.5-inch display, creating a more immersive experience and more possibilities for software innovations in usage scenarios like multitasking and productivity.

To make full use of the larger tablet-like experience when unfolded, the OPPO Find N includes new gestures to make side-by-side multitasking more intuitive. When using a compatible app, simply use two fingers to swipe down in the middle of the device to split the screen in half, or turn a full-screen window into a floating window by pinching it with four fingers.

The OPPO Find N also supports traditional split-screen gestures, such as long pressing and dragging compatible icons, while allowing you to save commonly used multi-app split-screen combinations to the home screen.

The software of the OPPO Find N is optimized to allow users to smoothly and naturally switch between the two screens. When unfolding the phone, the content is seamlessly relayed from the outer screen to the main inner display.

And when folding the device, the user can swipe up on the cover screen to continue using the same function on the outer screen. In addition, a range of keyboard customizations for the large inner display, including a split keyboard that makes it easier to use two thumbs to type, help to maximize productivity.

Camera

The OPPO Find N is equipped with a flagship-level triple-camera setup for high-quality photos and videos. It includes a 50 MP Sony IMX 766 main sensor, a 16 MP ultra-wide lens and a 13 MP telephoto lens, as well as selfie cameras on both the inner and outer displays.

Combined with the new form factor and the adaptability of FlexForm Mode, the OPPO Find N gives users a refreshed camera experience with customized software to fully leverage the foldable form factor.

The Flexion Hinge of the OPPO Find N allows the device to serve as its own tripod, making it a compact and burdenless gadget for advanced imaging scenarios.

For example, FlexForm Mode makes 4K HD time-lapse imaging easy and hands-free at any angle between 50-120 degrees, while three templates within time-lapse mode – light trails, night sky, sun & clouds – optimize photo and video settings in one click for more exciting and creative astrophotography.

When the device is bent at an angle below 60 degrees, the screen automatically moves the image preview to the bottom display to make it easier to set up your shot.

A new split-camera user interface on the OPPO Find N gives you the ability to use the large, immersive inner display to efficiently take photos on one side and then view, share or delete your most recent photo on the other side.

When taking photos from the main camera with the display unfolded, you can use both the inner and outer displays for both you and your subject to preview the shot simultaneously.

The more powerful rear camera can be used to take even higher-quality selfies, using the cover screen to preview the image.
 Selfies can also be taken using hand gestures, so you can easily stay in the frame without having to press the shutter button.

Ergonomic Design

For the first time on a foldable phone, the OPPO Find N uses a 3D-curved design on both outer edges of the device to improve the hand feel and maintain a sleek look. The back cover and rear camera module continue the fluid curve design language of the Find X3.

Streamlined curves visually lower the height of the camera module, while the Gorilla Glass Victus back panel and ceramic camera plate blend an elegant touch with a tasteful finish.

The OPPO Find N comes in three distinctive colors. The Black variant combines glittery matte glass and new film lamination techniques to achieve a subtle and premium shimmering effect on the base layer.

The White option is inspired by a white ceramic glaze, with glossy glass and a refined texture that matches the ceramic camera plate to create a consistent feel. The Purple version is reminiscent of a bottle of luxury perfume, using multiple layers of customized films to create illusions of light and shadow with a transparent texture.

Performance

The OPPO Find N comes with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 888 Mobile Platform, together with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. A large 4,500 mAh battery offers all-day battery life, while 33W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge is optimized to charge to 55% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 70 minutes.

It also comes with 15W AIRVOOC wireless charging (compatible with standard Qi) and 10W reverse wireless charging. The OPPO Find N includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that is housed in the power button, as well as a dual speaker system and Dolby Atmos support to deliver more lifelike sound.

OPPO’s Upcoming Flagship to be Powered by the Premium Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Platform

OPPO is expected to release its new flagship smartphone in Q1 of 2022, which will make it one of the firsts to be powered by the latest premium Snapdragon mobile platform.
OPPO and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. collaborate to continue the development of 5G.

Today at the Snapdragon Tech Summit 2021, OPPO announced to release a new flagship smartphone powered by the new premium Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Platform in the first quarter of 2022, making it one of the first companies that will adopt the latest Snapdragon platform. Meanwhile, OPPO will continue to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies in accelerating the development of 5G and exploring the future of smartphone innovations.

Scott Zhang, OPPO Vice President of Overseas Sales, said, “OPPO maintains close ties with Qualcomm Technologies, and we have brought several 5G smartphones powered by flagship Snapdragon mobile platforms to the market this year, including the Find X3 Pro and Reno6 series. It is our pleasure to witness the launch of a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Mobile Platform. We believe it will bring immense improvements and powerful performance on the next generation of flagship smartphones.”

For years, OPPO has always been committed to research and development from a more human-centric perspective, considering that its brand mission is “Technology for mankind, kindness for the world.” For example, OPPO’s proprietary Full-Path Color Management System on Find X3 Pro not only improves the overall display performance, but also provides the Color Vision Enhancement function for people with color deficiency; thus, bringing breathtaking graphics to users around the world.

Since the commercialization of 5G network, its popularity has been rapidly gaining momentum around the world. OPPO, as the world’s fourth-largest smartphone brand, continues to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies and other industry collaborators to promote the construction of 5G SA network and accelerate the commercialization of 5G across the globe. Specifically, OPPO was the first company to use a Snapdragon mobile platform to commercialize SA network in Europe in April 2021.

The success in regional 5G deployments would not have been possible without the collaboration with leading tech partners such as Qualcomm Technologies.

Looking into the future, OPPO will continue to adhere to being permissive, believing in reciprocity, and creating win-win situations. The company will collaborate with more industry-leaders including Qualcomm Technologies, and actively explore more valuable cutting-edge technologies and applications to provide better products and experiences for global users.

Presenting the Incredible OPPO A95 RAM Expansion, and How You Can Optimise It

The storage and memory on our phones become essential over time as we lived by the increasing demands of our life while capturing creative and lively moments through photos and videos. To ensure that you can store all your precious memories and maximize the phone’s efficiency, the RAM Expansion feature in OPPO A95 has got you covered!

OPPO A95 features a RAM 8GB and ROM 128GB configuration, with the RAM Expansion technology allowing users to convert unused ROM storage into RAM to maintain the smooth phone experience, never letting its users down. The best example is when the available RAM is running low, up to 5GB of ROM storage can be converted into short-term RAM, giving you a huge 13GB of RAM to play with.

Arriving with a mission to help users get the most out of their days, it does an amazing job to reduce lag and avoiding frame rate drops caused by running multiple computationally heavy tasks for a long period. In addition, this feature can also reduce phone memory fragmentation because of the increased number of applications running in the background. That’s not all, the additional RAM space lowers the time it takes to read the data when opening apps, so apps will be able to open quickly every time.

Users will also be given the freedom to adjust the volume of expansion, with three adjustment levels which are 2GB, 3GB and up to 5GB. Once enabled, the selected ROM volume will be converted to virtual RAM when the smartphone restarts. Check out these simple steps below to fully unlock the feature:

Step 1:
 Update the smartphone software to the latest version

Step 2:
 Open [Settings-About phone], click on [RAM], enter [RAM expansion]

Step 3:
 Select the expansion size as needed, and restart the phone

Step 4:
 Open the Multitasking interface, and you will find the expanded RAM has   been applied as indicated in the ‘Close All’ button

OPPO is excitedly giving away several attractive rewards worth up to RM258 along with the OPPO A95 for a limited period of time! OPPO A95 customers will be entitled to get an Enco Buds worth RM159 by only adding-on RM1, while My OPPO Members will be able to redeem a limited personalised phone case worth RM99 and many more!

First-Ever realme AIOT Vending Machine is Now at SEGi College

Launched in Malaysia among global countries

Today, realme Malaysia is honoured to announce their collaboration with SEGi College, Subang Jaya as they launched their first-ever
 realme AIoT Vending Machine
. realme Malaysia wishes to provide students within the SEGi campus at Subang Jaya with utmost convenience in acquiring commonly needed realme products without them having to drive a distance to purchase or wait days to receive the selected items.

The realme vending machine contains a diverse range of products including realme Powerbanks, realme Mouse, realme Watch, realme Buds and many other realme products that may be necessary for students.

Wai Kiat Hong, Brand Manager of realme Malaysia
said, “The realme AIoT Vending Machine is a brand new venture of realme which serves the purpose of convenience towards the students of SEGi College. The realme devices that we have in the vending machine would serve as a purpose to help the students with their assignments and their studies in this modern digitised era.”
“In April of this year, realme Malaysia and SEGi signed a MoU to formalise our collaboration with the aim of producing industry-relevant graduates in-line with the demands of the profession. As part of this initiative, SEGi College welcomed us to present and provide this convenience to their students and we hope that students would find this vending machine useful. We are also looking forward to the possibility of expanding this venture to more areas in the near future,” he added.
The mechanism of the vending machine makes for a quick and immediate purchase as students would just have to select the item number, make the payment and the item will be instantly dispensed. The machine will be available 24 hours to students of SEGi College where they can purchase their required AIoT devices at any time of the day.

Mr Calvin Chan, Principal of SEGi College Subang Jaya, said today, “We are very pleased to work with realme because its brand DNA resonates with our SEGi rhythm – youth, reality, style, and that added edge of being extraordinary. The traditional model of education where there’s a formal hierarchy between lecturers and students is no longer attractive nor effective enough in today’s day and age. Young minds learn best through formal education in informal settings, and through our collaborations with these stellar brands such as realme, because they project their essence through inspirational real-life ideas and actual innovations. The realme Corner in our campus will be a strong catalyst to further strengthen student-staff-industry relationships.”
realme Malaysia has also collaborated with Shopee in conjunction with the launch as students who spent a minimum of RM20 via ShopeePay on the vending machine will receive RM2 cashback to their ShopeePay bonus wallet. The RM2 cashback will be eligible from 8th December till 31st December 2021.

Refresh Your Sound In Every Moment With The Newest Addition of LG TONE Free

LG’s Innovative UV Earbuds Offers UVNano Technology, Plug & Wireless Function, Enhanced
Active Noise Cancelling and Many More Useful Features

LG Electronics (LG) is refreshing its true wireless stereo listening experience with the addition of the new LG TONE Free FP9 and FP8 earbuds into its wearable wireless audio family. Perfect for those who enjoy the freedom to move, the top-of-the-line LG TONE Free models present upgrades to refresh your sound in every moment with its hygiene-boosting UVnano charging case, which also offers consumers conventional ease and comfort wear, as well as immersive sound quality.

With perfect fit and comfortability being the priority for the LG TONE Free lineup, LG collaborated with a leading ergonomic design technology lab to analyse hundreds of subjects’ ears, resulting in an innovative Arc Design with an earbud stem 4.4 millimeters shorter than on previous models to create the perfect balance and fit for an active lifestyle. The earbuds can be worn without worry during intense workout sessions or in the rain as the FP series earbuds are IPX4 rated.

“We are now taking the next step in strengthening our foothold in the local wearable wireless audio market with the introduction of the LG TONE Free wireless earbuds. This upgraded series present the perfect balance between comfort and hygiene that every one of us needs in this era of normal – and LG is thrilled to introduce these products to Malaysian consumers,” said Kim Kyutae, Managing Director of LG Electronics Malaysia.

As the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”, and that is why LG has equipped the earbuds with hypoallergenic and anti-allergic Medical Grade Silicon Ear Gels to protect the ears providing a soft comfortable fit whilst preventing irritation.

With quick charge, five minutes is equivalent to one-hour full hour of listening gratifying a sense of relief.

The ambient mode allows users to be fully aware of their surroundings with a touch on the earbud. Now, listening to music can be both convenient and safe.

Reimagine Space and Perspective in Your Home With Samsung’s The Sero

While taking a breather or chilling at home, many of us get immersed in the world of social media. Whether you’re watching cat videos on Instagram, a short film on YouTube, or learning some dance moves on TikTok, the tiny screen can sometimes feel too restrictive to the content you’re consuming.

Thankfully, it doesn’t take much effort to turn a monotonous routine into exciting new experiences by adding an unconventional twist to your entertainment center.

With Samsung’s The Sero TV, you can view mobile content on a rotating TV that can screen mirror your smartphone or tablet, to the TV 43-inch screen, with the phone functioning as a remote.

Because Sero means “vertical” or “new” in the Korean language, the TV is rightly enabling a new experience for many users, and quite literally with a twist that has never been seen in other TVs before.

Fresh perspective with a rotating screen

This mobile-friendly TV does more than project your social media content. The Sero’s screen rotates to fit exactly what you’re watching, so you can enjoy 360° of entertainment – whether it’s portrait or landscape.

Because the screen is now bigger, users no longer have to strain their eyes trying to focus on movies, articles and social media feeds being displayed on the phone, which is especially useful with small children or seniors with poor sight.

The Sero also delivers sound for an exceptionally robust, base-enhancing audio experience. Unlike other TVs, The Sero’s premium 4.1ch 60W speakers are located under its vertical stand, and the woofer speaker is further supported by a passive radiator to offer deeper and richer bass sounds.

So, if you’re mirroring your music playlist to the TV, The Sero is guaranteed to let you enjoy deep, powerful sound throughout the room with plenty of basses.

Redefine space with vertical design and wheels

Sometimes positioning a TV in your home can be tricky as the traditional living space is often filled with fixed furniture and the TV has a designated area within the setup. In larger homes, users had to also invest in multiple TVs for select rooms which involve a lot of investments as TV becomes more advanced every year.

ALSO READ

Turn Your Dreams into Reality with the S Pen
With The Sero, transforming parts of your home is easy with a little imagination. Its conveniently designed wheels allow users to roll the TV from room to room to reinvent their space. An intimidating kitchen becomes a fun classroom by adding a life-size guide to help you through recipes.

An unused corner turns into a gym, fully equipped with a virtual trainer. Imagine home cafes and virtual concert halls as you stay playful and creative.

The elegantly minimal TV with a navy-blue stand can be easily put in one of its five Portrait Mode to enhance your space when not in use.

Users can pick to load up a number of animated clock face designs, posters and a sound wall to deliver a range of different display features when the TV is in the screen saver mode. No more black empty screen, it’s the era of colourful stand-by display!

Cutting Edge and Revolutionary QLED Technology

The Sero screen uses QLED material, and the built-in 4.1 channel is also equipped with a 60W speaker specification and supports Bixby voice assistant. As a result, you can get a better-optimized experience when you browse real-time dynamics and real-time short videos.

Designed to adapt to each user’s needs, the TV delivers 100% colour volume with over a billion colours and shades for a genuinely cinematic and immersive experience. The Sero also uses AI to upscale content to 4K resolution so that you can stream your favorite TikTok or Instagram stories in spectacular detail.

Built for the future of entertainment, The Sero is further enhanced with other intelligent features such as Adaptive Picture, Responsive UI, Tap View technology, Active Voice Amplifier (AVA), etc., for an advanced viewing experience.

Indeed, why settle for the normal when you can redefine your living space to suit your unique personality! If you would like to learn more about other amazing features of Samsung’s The Sero, log on to

Foldable phones are making more appearances this year. Starting with the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Flip3 which was launched a few months back. I had the privilege to review the Z Flip3 and boy do I love it. Of course it received my positive feedback and that it is my current favourite, but what about the Galaxy Z Fold3?

Good thing I received the Galaxy Z Fold3 for review as well. I absolutely love the Phantom Green colour. It looks so premium in my opinion. Nothing is going to disappoint me this time. I was in absolute awe with the design and feel. So let’s get on with the review.

First Look and Design

First of all, it looks just like the Z Fold2 except for the larger and fuller screen. The hinges are sturdier, more rigid. And this time, the Z Fold3 comes with an IPX8 rating, making it water resistant but not dust resistant. Liquid may not be able to penetrate the seals but dust will be the main problem.

The Phantom Green variant on this review unit looks really good. This might be the colour suitable for anyone who wants to have a premium looking device in their pocket (or bag). The large and “tall” front 6.2” Dynamic AMOLED display is super clear and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Good to know that the cover display is also capable of producing 120Hz refresh rate for that extra smooth animation.

Since it is tall, it is considered narrow. There’s only 4 icons columns instead of 5 on a common standard smartphone. Being narrow, it is easier to reach with your thumb when holding it in one hand.

But since it is a foldable phone, the thickness when folded will bother some of you if you have small hands. And I should say that the Galaxy Z Fold3 is heavier than most smartphones but it is lighter than the Z Fold2. Still, you can feel the extra weight when having it in one hand.

The internal screen size when unfolded is exactly the same as the Z Fold2, stretching at 7.6” with 1768 x 2208 pixels screen resolution. It is also a Dynamic AMOLED X2 display with HDR10+ and 120Hz refresh rate. It is a joy to use, that I can assure you. And the screen brightness can go up to 1200 nits at its peak, so you can have a super bright display to burn your eyes, so to speak.

This time around however, there is an under display front facing selfie camera that is well hidden behind a few LED pixels. This hidden selfie camera is sitting on the right panel of the internal display, right at the top center. You can’t see the camera when the screen is dark or totally on black background, but you can make out of it when the screen is bright and on white background.

There is another selfie camera on the front cover display, but it is not hidden. To me the cover selfie camera performs better than the hidden one inside. And also the megapixel counts are different as well, with the one on the cover having 10MP while the hidden one having only 4MP. More on that later.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 doesn’t have an under display fingerprint sensor, but it does come with a side button fingerprint sensor that also doubles up as the power button on the right side of the phone. Sitting right above it are the volume rockers.

Around the back, there’s the three camera setup. Again, it uses the same camera setup as the one on Galaxy Z Fold2. They didn’t make any major changes to the camera here, only some improvements on the software. But the Snapdragon 888 chipset will also make a lot of differences with the post-processing results. We’ll see that in the photography section below.

The hinge on the Z Fold3 is more rigid. It feels strong and sturdy. It has a snap in the end when opening or folding. But it stays in place either way. I do have to apply a little bit of force when I want to fold it. I will gently push at the center of the display while doing the folding motion. Same goes when I’m unfolding it. It requires little force but the motion is buttery smooth.

Right at the bottom, there’s the USB-C port on the right side and the bottom firing speaker on the left side. There’s another speaker at the top of the phone which means the Galaxy Z Fold3 has a stereo speaker setup when viewing in landscape orientation. Oh, let’s not forget the SIM tray which is located on the left side of the phone.

Performance and Usage

First and foremost, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is made for many versatile purposes. It can be an entertainment device, business device and even a gaming device. Again, it is very versatile. It is suitable for anyone from all ages or any professions.

For a businessman (or woman), the Galaxy Z Fold3 can be your greatest companion when you’re out for a meeting. The narrow cover display is large enough for you to make a quick text and check out your calendar. The larger internal display can be used for presentations, casting the screen onto a compatible display.

Also with the large display, you will be able to connect with your team or clients for a virtual call. Simply place the phone on the table and fold it halfway at a comfortable angle to view. You don’t need any stand for this. Cool? Yes it is because I had the opportunity to enter a virtual meeting using the Z Fold3. And it is so easy and convenient. For a better feel of the virtual meeting, you can connect the Z Fold3 to a Galaxy Buds2 wireless earbuds as well.

If you’re into entertainment, the Galaxy Z Fold3 can be your companion. If you love watching movies, you will appreciate the stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos audio enhancements. I can say that I really enjoyed using the Z Fold3 to binge watch some movies. Although the screen ratio is a little bit squarish instead of “wide”, it is still worth it.

Having said that, you won’t notice the crease that runs through the middle of the internal display when you’re watching any movies. You can feel it’s there, but hardly noticeable. Same goes when you’re holding it upright to browse some web pages. You can always have multiple windows opened to align one window on the left, and another on the right if you do not want to see the crease.

Yes, my overall experience of using the Galaxy Z Fold3 was fun. Multitasking is a breeze as I can have multiple windows open at the same time. I can have a YouTube video playing on one corner and browse my social media network on the other side. I can also drag and drop images from a browser onto my note taking app next to it easily. Or I can copy a file from an explorer app just by dragging and dropping.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to test the Z Fold3 with an S Pen. That would’ve been great when it comes to multitasking and using multiple windows.

All that heavy tasks, daily use and work related tasks are easily done, all thanks to the powerful flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset that is supported by a 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal space. Without these, those tasks would not be as smooth. I am very fond of the SD888 chipset. Probably it’s the best chipset of 2021 for Android smartphones.

Speaking of Android, the Galaxy Z Fold3 comes with Android 11 with One UI 3.1 out-of-the-box. Samsung has made huge improvements in terms of software and OS that caters to the need of a Z Fold3. It felt a little half baked on the Z Fold2 with Android 10 but this time it is more polished and performed much better. Good news is that the Z Fold3 will receive the Android 12 with One UI 4 update very soon.

When it comes to gaming, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has its (small) flaws. First thing I would like to mention is, the Z Fold3 is really thin when it is unfolded, making me a little clumsy when holding it to play PUBG Mobile. It felt like I didn’t have enough grip on the sides. Secondly, the almost square screen resolution is a little awkward for the on screen buttons layout. But all that I’ve mentioned doesn’t affect me as much. So we’re good.

I can set the graphic to the highest settings, thanks to the powerful SD888 and 12GB of RAM. When I set the screen refresh rate to 120Hz, it looks even better. Gameplay is really smooth. The overall experience was great and the stereo speakers sounded loud and clear. Since the Z Fold3 does not have a 3.5mm audio jack, I had to rely on the speakers or the wireless earbuds for in-game audio.

Battery life is a little hit and miss here. The 4400mAh battery capacity is lower than the Z Fold2’s 4500mAh. Power management is better, but when I have the screen refresh rate at 120Hz, the power will deplete quicker than usual. When I have the 120Hz on, the phone can last me about 10 hours after a full charge and full use. But when I set the refresh rate to 60Hz (turn off the dynamic rate), the battery can last me more than 15 hours.

Of course it depends on what you use the phone for. If you’re heavy on gaming and entertainment like I am, you will need to plug in the charger more often. But if you’re using it more for business and don’t need the 120Hz refresh rate, then you will have the upper hand.

As for benchmarking, the Galaxy Z Fold3 scored 759182 on Antutu. This is pretty much the standard result with the Snapdragon 888 chipsets. I have tested the Z Flip3 which is using the same chipset and it scored about the same. So I can safely say that the Z Fold3 is great for gamers and business people alike.

Camera and Photography

When it comes to photography with the Z Fold3, it was a whole lot of fun. I can use the rear main shooters for selfies while using the cover screen as the viewfinder. I can shoot with the main shooter from the large internal display for better composition (but feels odd because it’s big).

I can do many things and shoot from different angles. If I want to get low near to the ground, I can fold halfway and use the bottom part of the display to show the camera view for easy composition too.

So many options, so little time.

Let’s recap on the camera specifications:

Main camera

12 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.76″, 1.8µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS
12 MP, f/2.4, 52mm (telephoto), 1/3.6″, 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS, 2x optical zoom
12 MP, f/2.2, 123˚, 12mm (ultrawide), 1.12µm

Selfie camera

4 MP, f/1.8, 2.0µm, under display
10 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/3″, 1.22µm, cover camera

But 80% of the photos that I shoot with the Z Fold3 came out the way I like it without having to do some post editing. You can have a look at the samples below and see what I mean.

Normal wide angle and ultra wide angle camera worked really well when it’s bright and sunny. Colours are great and vibrant. And the balance between brightness and contrast are spot on.

When it’s bright, you can’t go wrong if you want to capture some action photos from ultra wide angle all the way to zooming right in up to 5x zoom.

Getting up close is good too. Here you can see the textures on the pattern clearly without losing focus, except for the light bokeh effect.

Outdoor selfies are great too. Here I was using the main shooter from the rear camera to capture in normal mode and portrait mode. Details are good and the bokeh effect is excellent. The front cover selfie camera works great too with my indoor selfie shot.

If you like taking photos of your food for your gram, the results are stunning as well. The camera will auto-detect the environment to give you the best setting for your shots. Here, it auto select the “food mode”.

While the Z Fold3 is a very capable phone, it is not made for photography enthusiasts in mind. If you want a solid phone for photography and video, you should go for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra instead. The Z Fold3 is able to shoot decent above par photos and good videos given the circumstances – like good lighting conditions as the starting point.

Still, the Galaxy Z Fold3 is able to take tons of satisfying shots.

Conclusion

I have much love for the Galaxy Z Fold3. I had the opportunity to review the first Z Fold, followed by the Z Fold2 and now this. After three versions, Samsung finally got it right. The Galaxy Z Fold3 feels complete. It is now the benchmark for any upcoming foldable phones. But Samsung already have a head start. Now it’s time for the others to play the catch up game while Samsung will need to innovate and make improvements to their latest Z series.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 is by far the most premium phone I have ever tested. It feels exactly that in all angles. It is also a head turner, just like the Flip3. It is a phone that everyone wants. It is a statement device. It is also a beast under the hood.

If you’re thinking of getting a versatile phone, this will be it. If you’re upgrading from a previous Z series, it is still an awesome upgrade. The camera performance is good. You can stay on top of your game with the Z Fold3’s ability to perform under pressure. You can also connect to a TV or monitor to enter DeX mode, anytime, anywhere.

Question is, what can’t a Galaxy Z Fold3 do?

If you’re planning to get one for yourself, you can head over to

Sharp Electronics (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Sharp Malaysia) has unveiled a slew of new products for homes and office use in line with the company’s focus on leveraging innovative technologies to help Malaysians adapt to a post-pandemic lifestyle.

According to Sharp Malaysia, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the way that people lead their lives.

Enhanced Home Living

Some of the new products that were unveiled to Sharp Malaysia’s business partners at the company’s Experiential Living Showcase event include the industry leading
AQUOS The Scenes 4K TV.
  The Android 11 compatible feature supports all gaming devices. AQUOS The Scenes 4K TV comes with Sharp’s latest Deep Chroma Display Pro technology, which offers consumers a true-to-life visual experience when enjoying high quality streaming video content.

To meet the rising demand for online streaming and provide a new content experience for consumers, Sharp recently released its flagship audio visual product, the

. The TV features 8K Ultra-high definition and HDR Enhanced+ processor, which allows consumers to experience realistic and deep images when they are watching TV.

For those who are seeking for cinematic experience from the comfort of their home, the AQUOS The Scenes 8K TV is definitely a must-have product to kickstart the year 2022!

Apart from audio-visual products, Sharp Malaysia also unveiled two kitchen appliances — the
Sharp Mega Freezer Pelican
and
Sharp Microwave
. During the Movement Control Order (MCO), sufficient food supplies were important for consumers and many stock up supplies at home to minimise spending time outside at shopping malls or supermarkets.

Built with a design to maximise storage, the Sharp Mega Freezer Pelican delivers plenty of storage capacity for consumers to store more food while preventing food contamination and keeping them fresh longer with Sharp’s proprietary Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) Technology.

Sharp very own J-Tech Inverter enables energy saving operation. Meanwhile, the new Sharp Microwave is a stylish addition to any kitchen, featuring a ceramic flatbed and wide interior with no turntable for easy usage and cleaning.

Sharp Malaysia also introduced its award-winning

Additionally, the machine’s unique Dry Airwash mode enables quick dry wash to kill germs/viruses and remove odour. The machine won the IF Design Award 2021, and it is the first PCI washer to be launched by Sharp in the Southeast Asia region.

Both the Face Shield and Eye Shield are made of cutting-edge technology to minimise reflection and eliminate fog from building up on the surface. Furthermore, the surface of the shields has a unique resin material proven to inactivate the new coronavirus adhering to the surface. This is enabled by Sharp’s Moth-eye technology.

Since many Malaysians have had to embrace a remote work or hybrid work environment, Sharp has taken note of this change in lifestyle and introduced the company’s range of
Dynabook laptops
 to meet the needs of mobile workers. The company is offering three sub brands namely the Portege, Tecra and Satellite Pro.

These Dynabook laptops are ideal for a hybrid working lifestyle since lightweight laptops are in demand for better mobility and better performance both for work and study.

Cocoro Life – from e-service to e-commerce

Introduced a year ago,
Cocoro Life
 is a complete ecosystem of service and e-commerce platform that delivers true AI-enabled experiences for customers and businesses. Annually, Sharp sells over one million goods to Malaysians and the company hopes to be able to connect with customers through the Cocoro Life loyalty service support platform.

Cocoro Life aims to deliver higher service productivity as it strives towards Service 4.0 transformation. The Cocoro Life platform is accessible via a mobile app downloadable from Google Play Store for Android and Apple App Store for iOS. The AI-enabled CRM app has also won the Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2021.

Today, Cocoro Life e-service app is already supporting thousands of Sharp customers connecting to the app for service support. Sharp will continue to encourage more customers to sign up via the app for product warranty, to check their service repair status, and to be attended to via live chat with the customer service support team.

As Malaysians spend most of their time at home, upgraded home appliances and electrical devices are essential to improve their stay-at-home experience and hybrid working lifestyle. To enable consumers to work comfortably from home, Cocoro Life is introducing a brand-new lifestyle solution that helps to encourage new work from remote culture – aptly named as
Future Lab
.

As the main distributor for Future Lab products in the ASEAN region, Cocoro Life Malaysia is launching a new 7D Ergonomic chair and lifestyle products that help to eliminate remote work hazards, such as improper posture and ergonomics that could cause illness to our body.

Additionally, Cocoro Life introduces fitness and wellness brand collaboration with

 and

. In collaboration with Sharp Cocoro Vision, Sharp & Wondercise will roll out a new workout app for Malaysians. The app is a world-first motion matching home fitness system that offers state-of-the-art BLE and motion-sensing technology, which can track a user’s motion from the wearable motion trackers.
