OPPO Find X5 Pro Elevates Its Cooling system to Another Level

OPPO Find X5 Pro
‘s new cooling system allows the device to keep a cool head in any situation. The back panel won’t heat up uncomfortably when playing a rich 3D game, and there won’t be concerns about overheating when recording 4K video. A great cooling system unlocks the full potential of a powerful phone.

PC-grade cooling in a miniature shell

Perfecting cooling in a phone is not a simple process. The OPPO Find X5 Pro uses a full passive cooling solution, generating zero noise. And all its pieces have to slot in around the core components in a precision-crafted case less than 9mm thick.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro cooling system is not treated as a pure logistical block puzzle. Each step of the process is guided by the human body’s perception of temperature. There will be no hot spot on the phone’s back that the users can notice, no heat build-up to distract from whatever situations

OPPO vapor chamber design

A vapor chamber is the heart of the phone’s cooling system. From the outside, this may simply look like a thin sheet of metal, but there’s an intricate little world inside its walls.

The vapor chamber is an ultra-thin copper cave injected with a very small amount of liquid. As heat from the components underneath conducts through the chamber’s bottom, this liquid evaporates and spreads throughout the chamber. It condenses on the outer walls, spreading the heat it held over a much larger surface area, dissipating the heat in the process.

The larger a vapor chamber is, the wider and more effectively it can move heat away from the components that generate it, like the primary processor. OPPO has managed to increase its size by 75% over the previous generation. It almost completely covers the battery and SoC, the main processor.

The display driver and display panel, the SoC and wireless charging coil are some of the heat-generating areas that require extra attention. OPPO developed bespoke solutions for these components based around three materials: copper, graphite and graphene.

Advanced materials engineering

Copper is the traditional material for cooling components. However, when devising heat management for the display, OPPO’s R&D team found that both heat dispersal and the resilience of the screen can be improved by using a copper sheet sandwiched with an ultra-thin layer of graphite.

It helps to keep the display cool while it delivers searing brightness at 120Hz, and dramatically improves the drop resilience of the OPPO Find X5 Pro by increasing structural integrity.

The other hot zones in a phone, like the motherboard and battery coil, did not need the same level of structural support, letting OPPO R&D dig even further into possible solutions. They landed on a graphene film, where the carbon from graphite is arranged in a single-atom layer, which dramatically improves strength and conductivity.

Graphene is a wonderful material but producing it on a mass scale is no easy task. To turn graphite into graphene involves a process called sintering, where the graphite is heated at temperatures up to 3100 degrees centigrade. Such high temperatures were unattainable for mass industrial production. OPPO is the first in the industry to achieve it, resulting in the highest quality, most conductive graphene film.

Following years of experimentation and fine-tuning, OPPO has achieved a 50% improvement in thermal conductivity of the graphene film compared to its first-generation process, for industry-leading performance.

The compromise-free cooling system lowers the OPPO Find X5 Pro heat to a comfortable range, even when running a 90/120 Hz high refresh game and keeps the phone cool while charging.

More than passive cooling

OPPO also created the new Ice-skin* case to keep the phone cool while protecting it. The core of the case is Glacier Mat, an innovative material that achieves a self-replenishing cooling cycle without using any power at all.

Glacier Mat is a hydrogel layer co-developed with Wuhan University, one of the top universities in China. Hydrogel pulls moisture from the air, which is then evaporated through the heat generated by the device. It is an ideal material to bring the heat out from the device. However, the ordinary hydrogel cannot replenish water after evaporation so it can’t be used as a long-term cooling solution.

Glacier Mat is different, it is a modified hydrogel that can re-absorb moisture from the air at low temperatures, after the water initially held is evaporated through the process of cooling the OPPO Find X5 Pro, creating a circular cooling cycle. Although it sounds simple, it cost OPPO’s engineers a great deal of effort to put this theory into practice and mass production in less than half a year.

Testing shows a 2-3 degree drop in phone temperature when gaming with the Ice-skin case attached. A cooler phone improves comfort during play and ensures the highest frame rates for smoother experience. The most important part: the Ice-skin case achieves all this with minimal weight, zero power use and zero noise.

OPPO Find X5 Pro Ultra Night Video Mode Empowers the Story of Joana Pastrana

OPPO celebrates International Women’s Day in collaboration with Director Laura Sisteró to produce the story of Joana Pastrana, who is a world-class boxer and held the International Boxing Federation’s mini-flyweight title for three years in a row. Her achievements were hard won through training and self-betterment.

Joana Pastrana represents the spirit of OPPO’s Save the Night initiative, which celebrates the empowerment of women who find they have to push harder and train longer in a world that can seem out of sync with their ambitions.

A story of empowerment

Joana Pastrana’s story is told in a short film made in association with OPPO
,
directed by Laura Sisteró, and shot in part using the new OPPO Find X5 Pro. It shows what the night can be if we choose to make it so.

“In the dark, I just saw an opportunity. While everyone went back home to rest, I was ready to chase my dream,” says Pastrana. For her, the night was a time to work, and push harder.

Competing in a male-dominated sport only made her self-empowerment more crucial. “I didn’t see many women up there,” says Pastrana.

“I had to become my own role model. And from then on, I never stopped. I trained harder and harder. This was the only way to achieve my goals”, she says.

After three years of competing in the amateur circuit, Pastrana made her professional debut in 2016. At the time she was the only professional boxer in Madrid. By the middle of 2018 she was already a global champion in her weight class.

Pastrana is an inspirational figure, an example of what self-motivation through empowerment can bring. Few could, or would even want to, box at a professional level. However, her words can inspire us all. She says, “the night can be the time to dream wide awake.” It’s a reminder that while dreams and aspirations may seem remote, they may be within reach. This is a sentiment worth celebrating.

Behind the camera

Shot on OPPO Find X5 Pro

The aim of OPPO’s Joana Pastrana short film was to offer a view into her world. She walks through the empty city streets at night towards her boxing gym, capturing images with the OPPO Find X5 Pro.

She straps up her wrists and takes to the ring to train. As she sits at the end of the session, exhausted, Pastrana visualizes the match to come, when all her efforts will be put to the test.

The film-making challenge was to capture the emotional and physical investment here in a 90-second format. Director Laura Sisteró’s tools were the industry standard Arri Alexa camera and a less likely partner, the OPPO Find X5 Pro.

OPPO Find X5 Pro can be the night companion. Its camera is optimized to produce stunning results, for stills or video, even in the most challenging lighting.

An OPPO Find X5 Pro will record night-time memories, challenges, victories and defeats, which can form an important part of a motivational journey.

The phone was put to the test in the shooting of this short film, used to film some of the more difficult scenes in the piece.

The phone used by Pastrana to visually narrate her journey through the street in photo form. Shots of Pastrana training both in and outside the ring used the OPPO Find X5 Pro’s Ultra Night Video mode. This marks a paradigm shift in the video quality of OPPO phones, bringing the quality associated with enhanced low-light stills to moving images.

“I was quite surprised by the capabilities the phone has to take pictures at night,” says director Laura Sisteró.

A tapestry of software and hardware in the OPPO Find X5 Pro makes this a reality. Its wide and ultra-wide cameras use large, high-quality Sony IMX766 sensors. 5-axis OIS avoids motion blur and allows for longer shutter speeds, and OPPO’s self-developed MariSilicon X NPU fine tunes the camera’s advanced processing algorithms to suit each shooting situation.

To create a night-time short film with the OPPO Find X5 Pro, take some of the creative choices made in the short film as inspiration. Note how Pastrana is not the only character here. The quiet atmosphere of the streets is brought into focus by the use of Pastrana’s footsteps as the primary soundtrack to each exterior shot. This sits in stark contrast to the traffic noise of the first few seconds of footage, shot during the day.

Director Sisteró plays with the shadows and light contrasts of the night-time city, and lets scenes bathe in the warmth of street light and the artificial lighting of neon signs. At night, each shadow can be an outlet for creative expression.

This visual language is a key part of the telling of
Pastrana’s story
. The phone is available from mid-March. Read more about the OPPO Find X5 Pro at the

make its first debut on the Reno7 Z 5G together with OPPO’s signature
OPPO Glow design
, giving the device a super-sleek appearance.
Powered by
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 695 5G

Mobile Platform
 and comes with
ColorOS 12
, the Reno7 Z 5G delivers powerful and smooth performance for any occasion.

OPPO today announced the launch of the newest addition to the Reno7 Series 5G — the
Reno7 Z 5G
 — in Malaysia. Reno7 Z 5G is powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 695 5G Mobile Platform, equipped with Bokeh Flare Portrait and Selfie HDR imaging features, and complemented by the industry-first Dual Orbit Lights. Together with OPPO’s signature OPPO Glow design, Reno7 Z 5G is a 5G smartphone with professional portrait photography capabilities designed to capture your diverse lifestyles.

Capture Your Diverse Styles in Portrait

Bokeh Flare Portrait
 allows users to capture portrait images with rich bokeh light spots just like a high-end camera. The algorithm distinguishes between the human subject and the background, enhancing the brightness of the subject while automatically blurring the background and boosting the bokeh light spots. It also retouches human hair and shirt details at the pixel level, making them appear exceptionally clear against simple backgrounds.
Selfie HDR
 captures clear selfies in dimly lit or backlit surroundings. The front camera automatically detects background light and utilizes an algorithm to suppress bright light when a backlit face or a bright background is detected, ensuring both the subject and background are captured in beautiful detail.

Multidimensional Design for Every Mood

Continuing the iconic design of the Reno series, Reno7 Z 5G introduces an Ultra-Slim Retro Design and two new colors: Rainbow Spectrum and Cosmic Black.

A three-layer texture and two-layer coating process gives the back cover a matte finish with a glittery appearance. The three-layer texture includes an innermost scattering grain, interlayer of SG grain, and an outermost glossy-and-matte grain. The Reno7 Z 5G is the first smartphone to use this spliced gloss and matte textures, which replace the redundant base material typically found around the camera module on other smartphones.

The Rainbow Spectrum color utilizes the two-layer coating technique, featuring the top color gradient coating comprising of red, yellow, and green colors, and a base layer containing a reflective indium coating. Together, these layers create an iridescent, evolving effect of six colors transitioning across the back cover of the smartphone.

Reno7 Z 5G marks the debut of OPPO’s Dual Orbit Lights, which are discreetly integrated behind the two primary cameras. When turned on, the Dual Orbit Lights resemble two heavenly rings descending from the night sky. The Dual Orbit Lights light up or blink in electric blue, light blue, cyan blue or baby blue depending on different scenarios, for example when the phone is powering on, charging, receiving an incoming call or unread notification, as well as launching a game.

Reno7 Z 5G features a new Ultra-Slim Retro Design weighing approximately 173 g, with a thickness of approximately 7.55 mm for the Rainbow Spectrum model and approximately 7.49 mm for the Cosmic Black model. The device includes trendy 2.5D front and back right-angled bezels with a delicate C-shaped frame, giving the phone a super-sleek appearance.

On the front of the smartphone, a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with 60Hz refresh rate delivers a smooth visual experience. Furthermore, the display is Netflix HD and Amazon Prime Video HD certified for playing high-quality video content.

OPPO recently launched the Reno7 series devices. The Reno series is OPPO’s awesome mid range Android device and is aimed at bringing a more powerful internals to the lower tier. And as I have experienced it, it is focused more towards the camera department for better social media engagement for the users.

And after the recent OPPO Reno7 5G launch, we now have the latest Z version which is the OPPO Reno7 Z and it comes with 5G too.

So what is the difference between the OPPO Reno7 and the Reno7 Z? First of all, they are both using different chipsets. The OPPO Reno7 is using the one by MediaTek which is the Dimensity 900 and the Reno7 Z is using the Snapdragon 695 variant. Both have their own pros and cons. But both chipsets are based on a 6nm process which is similar to last years’ flagship chipsets.

But this review is all about the Reno7 Z and we are going to go in depth on how it performs in day to day tasks and overall user experience. Onwards we go.

First Look

The OPPO Reno7 Z comes in a different frame. It is squared around the edges instead of being rounded like the OPPO Reno7. In truth, I very much prefer to have a sharper, spared up design like this as I feel it has a better grip with an awesome finish. It sorta looks premium too. The OPPO Reno7 Z comes in two colour variants, the Black and Rainbow colour. The unit I’m reviewing is the Rainbow variant and I absolutely love the colour.

It comes with the same 6.43” display with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution and 20:9 screen ratio at 409 ppi density. It’s using an OLED display to give you that deeper and radiant colours when you’re using it. The front facing selfie camera is located on the top left side of the display, just like the OPPO Reno7. And it also has an optical under display fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone.

Around the back, there’s the two obvious camera lenses which doesn’t sit on any bump and the only bumps at the back are from the cameras itselves. But if you look closely, there’s another camera sitting in between the two camera bumps which I believe to be the Macro camera. And the single LED flash is located opposite the Macro lens.

One cool feature that I like on the OPPO Reno7 Z is the RGB ring light around the cameras. It will light up whenever you receive any notifications and while charging up the phone. And as we all have been seeing, the Reno7 Pro also has an RGB light setup around the camera bump. But alas, the same can’t be said about the Reno 7 as it doesn’t have any RGB lights anywhere.

Moving to the sides, there’s the volume rocker on the left side and the power button is on the right side. It has a flat design so it’s very pleasant to press on. The SIM and MicroSD tray is also on the left side above the volume rocker near the top. At the top, there’s only a single microphone hole there.

Around the bottom, we have the 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port and the bottom firing speaker along with another microphone hole. All I can say is, it’s good to see the 3.5mm audio jack on this device.

And to hold the phone in my hand, it feels comfy. With a 20:9 screen ratio, means that the view is wider. So when having it in my hand, it feels slim and tall thus making it easy to grip. The OPPO Reno7 Z has a flat design, and it’s kind of the design that I like. Again, I love the colour.

Performance and Daily Experience

The OPPO Reno7 Z comes with Android 11 out of the box and customised by OPPO’s own ColorOS. It is very easy to get used to and if you’re coming from another Android device, it will be easy and quick to get you started with your own personalised layout and theme.

I like the fact that I can increase the RAM capacity up to an additional 5GB in the settings. It already comes with 8GB of RAM by itself. And the OPPO Reno7 Z has a 128GB of internal storage which can be expanded via the MicroSD card. With all that memory, multitasking is a breeze.

The “brain” of the OPPO Reno7 Z is a Snapdragon 695 which is currently the latest 600 series chipset. In my usage experience, I would say it performs similarly to the Snapdragon 750. It is a capable device to run most of the tasks smoothly including entertainment and gaming.

Battery life is great. I get close to two days of battery life on normal use like chatting and social network browsing. Even binge watching some videos on YouTube doesn’t drain too much power from the Li-Po 4500mAh battery.

Most of the time I didn’t have to rescan my fingerprint to unlock the phone as it managed to scan correctly the first time. I’ve also set the phone to unlock by using Face ID. This is even quicker than using the fingerprint scanner somehow. Nevertheless, I’ve always preferred to use the fingerprint scanner instead.

For gaming, I installed PUBG Mobile (as usual) to test the performance and capabilities. OPPO also has their own Game Centre app to keep all your games organised for a quick start and also integrated a game toolbar when you’re in a game. In this game toolbar, you can set the phone to maximise on the performance and keep the notifications at bay. Very useful feature to have when you want to concentrate on the game and to have the best possible performance.

As for PUBG Mobile, I would say it is not the best but it is above average when it comes to graphical performance. I am quite happy with the OPPO Reno7 Z in gaming. The screen is very responsive and movements are fluid. But I’m not able to set the graphic to the max fps settings, yet it doesn’t bother me because it still feels smooth to a certain level. If only the OPPO Reno7 Z comes with a stereo speaker, that will be very much appreciated.

I also ran a test on Antutu 3D Benchmark and got a score of 379791, which is over 100k points as compared to OPPO A74 5G that is using a Snapdragon 480. I loved the OPPO A74 and I was quite surprised at the gaming capabilities on that phone. But the OPPO Reno7 Z performed way better. As for the Antutu score, it is more of a mid-range performance as most of the flagships are scoring above 800k right now. Yet, I’m still happy with the overall performance.

It is also good to note that the OPPO Reno7 Z has an IPX4 ratings for water and dust resistant. But be reminded that it is not waterproof. It can withstand light splashes, therefore do not submerge the phone underwater.

Camera Performance

OPPO is working hard on making selfie shots to look good nowadays. Hence why the OPPO Reno7 Z is equipped with a 16MP selfie camera. Not forgetting the main cameras at the back as well. But this time around, the OPPO Reno7 Z does not include an ultrawide camera but has included a macro camera instead.

The main shooter is using a 64MP f1/7 sensor while the macro camera is only using a 2MP sensor. It doesn’t sound like much but the main 64MP camera is quite good. It comes with HDR mode that can be set manually or on auto. It is on by default and the results are quite good. There is also OPPO’s own AI scene that can automatically detect the best scenario when shooting a photo.

It also has a few other modes to choose from such as Night mode, Normal, Portrait, Dual-view, Extra HD, Expert mode, Macro and Panorama. On normal mode, it can go up to 6x digital zoom but I only kept it up to 3x zoom to get a good shot.

At times, the HDR mode can be tricky. It tends to over process the image making it look too sharp and too bright. Turning the HDR mode off will get you a more natural looking photo. Indoor shots are great and the OPPO Reno7 Z is able to capture good colour balance and tone.

That being said, you can have a look at some of the shots taken by the OPPO Reno7 Z below.

Outdoor shots are the best but the HDR settings tends to make the photos to look a little sharp. But I like the photo clarity and details.

For night shots, the one on the left is using the normal mode and the AI from the camera app detected it being night scene. While the one on the right, is using the Night mode. The difference is obvious.

Note: More photos will be uploaded soon.

Conclusion

The new OPPO Reno7 Z 5G is a capable device. It is aimed at the lower mid-range segment and I believe it will be a hit. I absolutely love the RGB ring light surrounding the cameras when it’s on charging and receiving notifications. I love the Rainbow colour variant too as opposed to Black.

The design of the frame feels great and premium. It is pleasant to hold and easy to grip on one hand. I’m sure those who get a close look at the OPPO Reno7 Z will love its design simplicity.

As for its overall performance, the Snapdragon 695 works really well for day to day tasks. I did not experience any lags while using the OPPO Reno7 Z during my review. And the Android 11 with OPPO ColorOS system runs very smoothly on this device.

The battery life is great. And the overall camera performance is commendable. It is not the best but it does the job really well.

OPPO Uses Advanced Engineering to Build Find X5 Pro

OPPO conducted more than 300 tests to build a smartphone with high intelligence, 5-axis camera stabilization, waterproof, durable and long lasting

OPPO
 designed and optimized the hundreds of processes that go into the construction of the OPPO Find X5 Pro, to ensure the first phone off the production line and the thousandth are not just identical twins but of world-class quality.

A trip to the factory floor

The human brain has countless folds. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s motherboard structure is a little like that of the human brain, connecting all the phone’s components together with an ultra-fine labyrinth of miniature metal paths.

These roads are printed onto the motherboard, in rooms full of robotic printers that can produce up to 10 million boards a month. High-speed modular machines would mount components like the CPU and capacitors onto the board at a level of accuracy that would likely be impossible with the human hand. The smallest component measures just 0.4mm by 0.2mm, and the chip mounter can place more than 400,000 components an hour.

Assemble of PCB

OPPO uses an Auto Optical Inspector camera to check for any minute errors in the process. Every pathway on the OPPO Find X5 Pro motherboard is bespoke, each component is either custom-designed or carefully chosen. The Auto Optical Inspector is programmed to notice any slight deviation from the blueprint.

The last line of solder printed and last chip inspected, the OPPO Find X5 Pro board is baked to melt the metal powder into a rigid conductive map. Every part of this process is carefully controlled, from the humidity and temperature of the factory floor to X-ray testing of the solder every two hours to check its quality.

A solder paste inspection machine (SPI) reviews each board. When the smallest steel mesh opening measures just 0.18 mm × 0.18mm, only the highest level of precision is acceptable.

90% of the testing is automated, meaning OPPO’s production experts largely only need to step in at the first signs of any potential issue.

OIS Lens Stabilization Test

Such attention to detail is all the more important in ensuring the quality of brand new features, like OPPO’s revolutionary 5-axis camera stabilization. Each OPPO Find X5 Pro camera is put through an OIS test for both the lens image stabilization and the sensor image stabilization, checking for its ability not just to function, but operate at the peak of its expected performance.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is mounted to a machine set to provide a jitter angle of three degrees and 6Hz frequency. This means it wobbles back and forth by 3° six times per second, mimicking handshakes in daily scenarios during photo shooting.

The new 5-axis system also compensates for sensor roll, so OPPO also applies a 0.7-degree rolling motion in testing. On top of the traditional OIS motor, the OIS test for sensor-shift (x-axis/Y-axis) and sensor-rotation (Z-axis) are also tested separately. It is the first of its kind and offers the best optical stabilization experience in the industry.

During the tests, shutter speed is set to 167ms which is the same as the frequency of vibration. To pass the test the final image must appear sharp, not blurred.

A look inside the OPPO QE Reliability Lab

There are two sides to the OPPO Find X5 Pro testing program. Some tests are run on every single phone, rooting out any defective components or manufacturing errors.

However, some of the most intensive testing takes place at OPPO’s QE Reliability Lab. It is where OPPO undertakes a kind of torture testing that compresses the hard treatment of years of normal use into a much shorter time window.

Waterproofing and Rainproofing Tests

In-production testing makes sure specific OPPO Find X5 Pro stacks up to OPPO’s meticulous standards. The QE Reliability Lab makes sure the original design can handle real-world stresses, involving over 150 tests. Here are some of the highlights.

In the Tumble test, the OPPO Find X5 Pro is placed in a 1-meter-long turning chamber that rotates 3.5 times a minute. It emulates the force of the phone being dropped 300 times from a height of a meter, onto a hard surface. Common Drop Test is also conducted as it simulates a typical free-fall scenario from various height from 1 meter to 1.5 meters.

Another test sees the OPPO Find X5 Pro dropped from a height of 10 centimeters to more than 28,0000 times. This simulates the kind of everyday drops,but can eventually weaken the structure of a less well-designed phone.

In QE Reliability Lab, OPPO not only required the phone to meet industry standard but for many tests with even more rigorous standards because OPPO aims to provide not just solid device longevity and reliability but impeccable durability.

This dedication to quality is why OPPO put so much work into the strength and finish of the ceramic casing — a 45-stage process that includes calcination at 1000 degrees centigrade.

Environment Adaptability Testing

For further testing on durability, the OPPO Find X5 Pro is kept in both high 75 degrees centigrade and freezing minus 40 degree environments for a full week, and tested afterwards to ensure there is no damage or corrosion. The phone is submerged in water at a depth of 1.5m and held there for 30 minutes, before being dismantled to check for any liquid ingress.

OPPO Find X5 Pro, a phone that can withstand bumps, drops, freezing, shock, being doused with water and soaked with sweat. Buttons, sockets and fingerprint scanners are tested more than tens of thousands of times to prove the design works in practice just as well as it does on paper.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is a phone brimming with advanced features and ambitious engineering, but OPPO’s rigorous manufacturing standards ensure they are ready not just for day one but years of use.

First of all, thanks to OPPO Malaysia for the review unit.

I have many and have used a lot of smartwatches in the past few years. I’ve reviewed some nice smartwatches from a very well known brand and some are from the lesser known ones. There are tons of varieties out there and you just have to find one that suits you.

And then comes the OPPO Watch Free. It is made for health and fitness in mind but at the same time, it has a really appealing premium look to it. Just to make it clear, the colour variant that I receive is called Vanilla, which I think is suitable with the overall look. The other colour variant is Black, which I think is pretty standard. However, the build is really good with high quality leather textured silicone strap that made it look premium.

To know what I really think of the OPPO Watch Free, you have to read on.

First Look

The OPPO Watch Free came in a long box, just like many other smartwatches out there. Once the box is opened, you will immediately get a glance of the beautifully designed OPPO Watch Free. Yes. To me it looked really good. The essence of the aluminium gold frame elevates the status of the watch. Paired with an equally good looking watch strap, I was in awe of the overall look.

It has a larger rectangular display than some other watches that I’ve used. Not forgetting the gorgeous 1.64” AMOLED screen with 2.5D scratch resistant glass that ticks all the right boxes. The display is a 280×456 resolution, so anything shown on the display looks really sharp and vibrant.

Some other things that came in the box are the magnetic charger that snaps onto the back of the watch along with some documentations like Quick Guide and warranty card. Keep in mind that the OPPO Watch Free does not come with a charger brick, only with the charging cable.

Speaking of charging, the OPPO Watch Free has a 230mAh battery capacity that can last up to 10 days on a single charge based on my usage (14 days on paper). I get less days probably due to me having the SpO2 monitor turned on all the time even when I’m sleeping. But I wouldn’t worry about that because I can get it back up to 100% in less than an hour.

Around the back, there’s a sensor that illuminates green light to monitor your vital signs when you have it on your wrist. This is pretty much a normal thing for any smartwatch that has the capabilities to monitor your heart rate and so on. And above the sensor, there’s the two pin charging connection to charge up the watch.

If you notice, there are no buttons on any side of the watch. To switch it on, you only have to pair it with your phone via the HeyTap Health app that’s available to download from Apple App Store or Google Playstore. I use it on my iPhone and it works too. Once the watch is detected by the app, it will switch the screen on and you can start pairing it. It’s that easy.

Now I do want to say something about the watch strap. The textured leather feel on the strap feels so soft and is really comfortable to wear. I often forget that I have a watch on my wrist. I have it on me almost all the time, even when I’m in the shower. It’s good to note that the OPPO Watch Free is water resistant up to 5 ATM – that means it can withstand up to 50m underwater.

Usage and Functions

Once the OPPO Watch Free has been paired and synced with the HeyTap Health app, I only have to do some minor setup on the app to customise the functions that I need. On the obvious side, I turned on all the notifications in order for me to receive them from my phone on the watch. And then I turned on the SpO2 to monitor my blood oxygen level periodically even when I’m sleeping. And lastly, I downloaded some cool watch faces that suit my taste to show it off.

Some of the functions available OPPO Watch Free are made for fitness in mind. If you’re a fitness freak, this is for you. It has over 100 exercise modes that you can choose from. It includes running courses including jogging, fat-burning running, endurance running, interval running, indoor/outdoor running, indoor/outdoor walking, elliptical machine exercise, and rowing machine exercise to name a few.

It also comes with a smart exercise recognition whereby you don’t need to set it up before you start. You can simply start jogging and it will detect the motion and turn on the jogging mode. I’ve only managed to use the fitness function once, just once.

I went to the park and did a (very) quick walking exercise. I turned the brisk walking mode on and just walked around the park. Once I’m done, I took a look at the status and results. It shows the distance, estimated burned calories, heart rate and step counts. Those are the data shown on the watch itself. To view more detailed data, you can view it on the phone app.

I do need the exercise anyway. I will try to go for a jog soon. Emphasis on the word “try”.

Now, the OPPO Watch Free is made to monitor your sleeping patterns with the OPPO’s OSleep function. It works best when you wear it to sleep and turn on all the vital monitoring functions for best results. As I mentioned earlier, I have the SpO2 function on to monitor my blood oxygen level when I’m sleeping. It even has a sleep reminder to remind you to go to sleep at any time you set. The OPPO Watch Free is soon to be your new sleeping buddy.

Other functions that’s available are music playback controls, a “flashlight”, weather, timer, incoming call notification and call rejection, alarm clock and Find My Phone function.

Conclusion

I said it once and I’ll say it again. The new OPPO Watch Free is one heck of a good looking watch. It has all the usual functions that you can find on any smartwatch or fitness band but it elevates the status from a normal fitness smartwatch combination to a premium fashionable watch that won’t break your wallet.

The OPPO Watch Free has now become my favourite fitness smartwatch. I never expected for it to be this way but it is what it is. Of course, it still has a lot to catch up with some of the premium ones out there in terms of build and functions. But you can be sure it is on the right track.

Good news is, the OPPO Watch Free is now available for purchase from
OPPO’s office site
 and priced at RRP
RM449.00
. Told you it’s affordable.


Luxury Without Compromise – OPPO’s Engineers Pioneered the Ceramic Back for Find X5 Pro

The new OPPO Find X5 Pro — a premium flagship handset born from never-before-seen pioneering engineering methods. Available in stunning ceramic and vegan leather, the curved nature of Find X5 Pro’s rear wraps elegantly and organically around the camera housing in an innovative volcano-like design to create an utterly seamless experience, look, and feel, that no other device comes close to matching.

Building on the knowledge of creating a similar curved glass rear for Find X3, engineers had to overcome even more substantial challenges to help create a zero-compromise result that met the exact specifications (while surpassing and creating many industry standards in the process).

Find X5 Pro’s ceramic back is made from a microcrystalline material that’s calcined at a temperature of 1000-degrees Celsius to create a texture that reduces fingerprints while being twice as strong as glass, with double the heat dissipation. The downside, however, is that due to its strength, it’s a very tricky and unforgiving material to work with.

The thought of creating Find X5 Pro’s precise, organic curved back from such a material seems impossible, but OPPO’s engineers have invented a process which sees the ceramic rear panel carved like a work of art with over 2,000 individual control points used to create its seamlessly organic curves.

Taming the ceramic panel posed some crucial hurdles for engineers to solve, and it took six months of research and development in molding, machining and polishing process to create Find X5 Pro’s iconic curved rear.

A material that’s both incredibly strong and resistant to scratches and drops, ceramic is superior to glass in multiple ways, and was therefore the natural choice for a premium handset like Find X5 Pro, further pushing the boundaries of Find X3’s glass design. The downside to ceramic’s robust properties, however, is that it’s difficult to machine, which is clearly problematic when it comes to producing Find X5 Pro’s unique curved rear design.

Using known existing manufacturing methods resulted in too large a cap between the ceramic rear cover and the camera housing, with less of a smooth curve gradient to boot — an unacceptable outcome. To combat this problem, engineers created a more precise machining method using two blades arranged at a precise 90-degree angle.

While this improved the accuracy of the final product, however, the appearance of a straight-edged cutting line surrounding the sides of the ceramic cover, along with visible cutting marks from the machine blade lines.

The solution was the creation of a completely new lift edge polishing process which refined the machined edges for a smoother, properly finished look. Initially, however, it was apparent that removing the manufacturing marks also ended up taking away too much of the ceramic material itself away, making the rear panel too small to properly fit the handset.

ALSO READ

The OPPO Reno7 Series 5G is Coming
To overcome this, engineers had to meticulously polish the ceramic’s edges in multiple stages, using a four-axis polishing machine and micron-level diamond powder. Results from polishing stages were checked at regular intervals to then make minute, precise adjustments down to a staggering 0.005mm. A perfectly machined, premium ceramic rear cover that takes five whole days to produce, with a yield of 97% compared to 87%.

One of the major design pain points in smartphones are their camera housing solutions. Most phones have unsightly raised bumps that dominate the design without adding excitement or finesse. Beyond the shape, OPPO’s engineers had to decide how to blend the lenses into the housing itself without any ugly protrusions or camera rings.

Removing the camera lens ring for a cleaner look means that the lens itself must be precisely positioned so that it’s neither too high nor too low. Too high and the lens will be vulnerable to damage. Too low, it will lose the premium feeling of flushnessflow, while being able to feel a dip in the surface.

The upshot of this is that the perfect placement of the camera lenses under the ceramic housing was determined to be 0.10mm, or the thickness of a human hair. As a result of direct assembly, however, this number would often reach the thickness of two hairs. This seems utterly insignificant on paper, but anything less than perfect was simply not good enough.

To combat this, ceramic battery covers were split into three groups based on their incredibly small variations of thickness. The three lenses for Find X5 Pro were also grouped based on their thickness, and then matched to their closest ceramic cover to reach the perfect, precise depth in the camera housing.

OPPO has invested millions to develop specialised automated equipment to group matching lenses and rear covers automatically.

In a world where smartphones are churned out to offer a minimal viable experience, however, OPPO’s commitment to precision and perfection stands out. Devices like Find X5 Pro are the embodiment of hard work, dedication, and countless hours spent in the pursuit of the absolute very best product possible.

With new strides and discoveries being made continuously, OPPO will continue to lead the way for smartphone innovation, with new generations being built on the years of experience and learning before them.


The Most Popular Online Scam Methods Hackers Commonly Use 2022

The online world is beautiful! It contains a lot of precious pieces of information that we can gain and improve our knowledge, career, and financial stability. But neglecting its negative side would be a huge mistake.

Cyber security is one of the main problems that we are all experiencing even today. Most payment providers and reputable platforms we visit every day are highly protected. But, sometimes, the loss of personal data can be the consequence of human error.

Because of that, we would like to highlight the 5 most common online scam methods that hackers use. That way, you will understand when and why you should pay more attention to certain details. Let’s go!

Phishing

Phishing is certainly the most common hacking method of all. You could potentially get an email or message on certain platforms where you should click on the link and enter certain personal information such as username, password, credit card, etc.

Spotting phishing messages, emails, and websites is easy. For starters, their grammar is usually poor. Apart from that, you will see the domain name of the website or email itself is strange. It will be grammatically incorrect or slightly different from the name of the original website.

Commonly used websites for this type of fraud are online casinos. Because of that, you carefully need to pick the gambling site and ensure it is reputable. For example,
according to Ashraf Hamzah
, legitimate and trustworthy gambling sites in Malaysia and other parts of the world will always have a license, collaborate with reputable software developing companies, etc. Put into consideration these factors.

Fake Antivirus Programs

This happens when you enter some website and suddenly a new window pops up where it says that you got infected. You will get recommendations for an antivirus program that could fix the issue.

However, download it only if you are sure the antivirus that is offered to you is legit and reputable. If you do not know a lot about it, neglect this message as you are certainly not infected!

Easy Profit

Do you want to become a millionaire for a couple of months? That’s impossible! Even billionaires of today needed
9 years on average
 to reach that goal!

The websites that use easy money-making solutions are usually cybercriminals. They will offer you to subscribe to a course or anything else, get your money and data, and disappear.

6 Steps to Protect Your Ecommerce Site Against Cyber Threats
Spotting them is easy if you have one thing in mind – making money is a challenging process. Because of that, don’t dream about big sums of money that do not require hard work! Hackers are aware of the desire that people have and that’s why they simply love this method.

Online Store Scams

Online shopping is taking over traditional shopping. However, there are also stores online where you will give your money, but – get nothing. More precisely, you will lose a lot as the criminals will take your credit card credentials and use them instead of you. Some people discover this late, and they lose a lot of money.

This often happens when a real online store is hacked. However, they can also use the phishing method to trick you. For example, they will offer the same products, use the same design, and use almost identical domain names as the original store.

Apart from that, they would also try to offer you a discount like on the example we analyzed before. Spelling errors and suspicious prices are something you should pay attention to.

Fake Software Downloads

The software industry is a billion-dollar market and scammers can’t take their eyes off the users of thousands of software, especially those who are just starting to use and download a software. It’s easy to victimize users because scammers make it convenient to download software, mostly the paid ones.

Video downloaders are one of the most common targets of these scammers where they will offer the same software for free and inject malware on it and leverage advertisements and manipulate users to make money.

To avoid the same mistakes that others do, only trust
reputable video downloaders
 that have verified reviews and make sure you are downloading the software from their real sites.

Pull Off The Perfect Shots With The Galaxy S21 FE

Memories last a lifetime, captured moments can make them everlasting. It is moments when you find yourself standing in the middle of a busy street; or when you find a hidden café tucked away at the corner of two narrow streets; or when your best friend laughs at you when you goof up.

There is no denying the fact that being able to capture these moments are made easier and more convenient today.

These days you can find smartphones that sport massive apertures and gigantic sensors. This means you no longer have to know a lot of photography fundamentals and rules to take great photos. The Galaxy S21 FE 5G is the embodiment of what the Galaxy S series has always been, an inspiring photographic tool that is easy to use at an affordable price.

Whether you‘re a newbie or a pro, you can give your photos the flare it deserves. Here are some ways to capture the perfect shots with the Galaxy S21 FE 5G.

Work with Shadows

As you go about your day, pay attention to light and shadows as it will give your images a more dramatic frame and depth. For example, observe how the light hits your cup of coffee on a bright morning, and spot how the highlights bounce off a building in the afternoon.

If you are working with direct sunlight, find an area where the sunlight affects the subject you are capturing and not the background. And if you are indoors, consider twiddling with windows and the distance between the subject, the light source, and the background.

Make Your Photos Pop

If you’re out during the day, your camera settings should be set with natural light. If you’re trying to capture a night out on the town, the Night Mode on the Galaxy S21 FE 5G will give you vivid, detailed images of your night, no matter how dark things may get.

Sometimes, the colours surrounding you may not seem so vivid when you’re looking at them through a camera lens. For these moments, try using the Pro Mode, which lets you manually adjust your exposure levels as well as the white balance and saturation of your photos to really make them stand out. A reminder to be subtle about it because a little goes a long way.

Capture Every Emotion

Whether you’re watching a street performance or watching a loved one opening a gift you just bought, with Dual Recording, you can switch between cameras while filming to catch the action in front and your reaction too, in one take.

The best part about this? These are upload-ready footages — just start recording, and your camera captures views from both lenses at the same time, capturing every precious emotion you don’t want to miss.

Every picture tells a story, make it count with Galaxy S21 FE 5G.

realme Debuts at Paris Fashion Week as Leading Trendsetting Smartphone Brand with Heliot Emil

realme, the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand, achieves yet another milestone as it makes it first debut at Paris Fashion week for the launch of its
realme 9 Pro Series & co-created smartphone
bag in collaboration with fashion brand HELIOT EMIL walking down the runway at the fashion event’s main calendar last week.

realme continues to shine as the trendiest smartphone brand in the market – staying true to its “Dare To Leap” spirit, realme ensures these values are not only present in the features of their products, but also in each overall design and how the brand connects with its users.

The smartphone bag was designed in conjunction with the launch of the
realme 9 Pro 5G Series
, the latest addition to the brand’s popular Number Series. As realme’s first range of the series to launch in 2022, the
realme 9 Pro+ 5G
launches the
Sony IMX766 OIS camera
, the first smartphone brand to launch a flagship camera within its mid-tier price category.

The phone also packs amazing features for a redefining user experience, such as its
dual stereo speaker with Dolby Atmos™,
a magical
Light Shift Design
 that sparkles in the light,
Ultra Smooth Display
with high refresh rate, and the
MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G processor
 that provides broader connectivity.

When Fashion meets Technology

When outerwear meets tech, the chance for the perfect collaboration isn’t missed and is brought to life – the Copenhagen-based fashion brand
HELIOT EMIL
 holds values that are dedicated to creating innovative designs and technical processes, combining form and function in all their products.

As HELIOT EMIL values matched ideally with the design philosophy of
realme Design Studio
, the two brands worked alongside each other to create a product that satisfies the audiences of both brands.

Inspired by the realme 9 Pro 5G Series’
‘Light Shift Design’
, HELIOT EMIL and realme Design Studio co-created a customized
chest strap bag
for all its tech and fashion lovers. The debut of the chest strap bag was arranged and presented at the runway of Paris Fashion Week 2022.

The First Smartphone Chest Strap Bag featuring Photochromic Magic

The realme 9 Pro Series & co-created smartphone bag allows users to show off their latest Number Series through the bag’s creative design – for users who are out in the daylight, people will be able to see the back of the phone shift colours from blue to red when exposed to sunlight or UV lighting, inspired by the colour changing process of sunrise.

The design also provides lens protection and features that allow for easy street snap action as users will be able to easily pull their smartphones out and instantly jump into content creator mode.

realme continue bringing the latest trends to the smartphone market to continue providing their younger audience devices that best match their personality – the smartphone brand isn’t the first to tap into the starry starlight trend. For instance, Coca Cola released their limited time ‘Starlight Coca Cola’, which launched under a “space” theme and inspired by the starry galaxies.

Another example can be seen in luxury brand Louis Vuitton’s Starlight jewelry collection, providing items that leaves their customers dazzling and shining. Similar design concepts can also be seen from Masion Margiela and Island Stone
.

A tech brand leading trendsetting designs

This collaboration marks another astounding milestone added to realme’s portfolio in terms of designing. realme built its Design Studio in 2020 – the brand’s independent design team that specializes in the industrial and visual design production of realme products.

As the first mobile design studio in the smartphone industry, realme Design Studio has worked alongside prestige collaborators, including
Eddie Opara
, Chief Designer of Pentagram,
Naoto Fukusawa
, Japanese Master of Contemporary Industrial Designs, and
Jose Levy
, Cooperated Designer at Hermès
 –
all having contributed their professional expertise to realme by designing trendsetting new products in partnership with the brand.

For this new collaboration, HELIOT EMIL founders have stepped in to become the latest Guest Designers of realme Design Studio, aiming to make waves in the design world by uniting technology and fashion under one roof. Together with the stunning Light Shift Design, the realme 9 Pro Series will lead the smartphone market as the trendiest design.

As a brand which was founded to enhance the youth’s needs, realme is not only providing trendsetting products, but also building up its own trendsetting culture. Other than designing powerful products with eye-catching designs, realme has also contributed in more ways to the art industry, such as music, fashion, and cutting-edge industrial designs.

Combining youth culture into technology, realme continues to build its independent image and sharing the same values with its young consumers – Dares To Leap forward, and go beyond itself.
