Godzilla vs Kong Comes to PUBG Mobile in Update 1.4

PUBG MOBILE 1.4 update brings new modes, a new arena map, vehicles, and combat improvements

New PUBG MOBILE version 1.4 updates are now available with a range of new modes, a new arena map, vehicles, combat improvements, items and other interesting content. One of the most exciting additions in the PUBG Mobile 1.4 update is the release of the Titan Strikes event. Tying in with the release of Godzilla vs Kong in theaters and online, PUBG MOBILE partnered with Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures to bring thrill and excitement of titans to PUBG MOBILE. Users will now get the chance to experience, interact and witness the power of titans at close range.

Godzilla has been appearing on the Erangel map since 11 May. The mighty King Kong has been wowing players on the Sanhok map since 15 May, while Mechagodzilla will be putting in appearances on the Livik map from 20 May 2021. The three titans will be amazing players until 8 June 2021.

The titans are not normally hostile to players but they can get irritated if too many players congregate in the same area. Players must show caution when observing the titans close up as it’s possible to be crushed. On the positive side, titans will drop rare energy crystals that will give players an edge in combat. The event will also feature APEX Cybernetics facilities and monster settlements that can be explored and looted.

Additionally, a new map arena will be available in 1.4 update which goes live on 1 June 2021.The new “Hangar” arena will provide excitement around every corner and action at every turn. The new challenging arena map supports Team Deathmatch modes, Training Arena, and Team Gun Game.

Apart from the new gameplay, there is also an “over the shoulder (OTS)” mode which will make its debut in the version 1.4 update. OTS mode allows players to quickly switch stances without using a scope and provides a stable stance for targeting enemies, making it easier to give them a one-way ticket to the next match. Also, the new “Coupe RB” vehicle will be coming, a 2-door sports car that can only carry the driver and one passenger. This car is the fastest vehicle in PUBG MOBILE capable of accelerating up to 150 KM/hour, players can experience this fast vehicle on the maps of Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok and Livik.

How To Prevent Tech Issues

These days, businesses of all sizes and in all industries rely heavily on tech for their daily operation. Computers, software, equipment, and various gadgets are used constantly each day, and many businesses would struggle without having tech available. Unfortunately, tech can be temperamental, issues can arise, and cybercrime can be an issue. This can all lead to downtime, which can be hugely costly for businesses and could have a serious impact on the success of the business. So, how do you prevent tech issues from arising? There are a few handy tips to keep in mind that will hopefully help you to keep everything running smoothly and avoid any issues.

Invest in Quality

First, you should make sure that you are investing in quality tech. You are much more likely to encounter issues with tech items that are from lesser-known brands and/or much older than the most current items, so it is always worth spending that little bit more for superior performance and to prevent any costly issues from arising.

Maintenance

You will also find that most tech will need some kind of
maintenance
. The owner’s manual should inform you on what you need to do and when, but you might also find it helpful to look online for advice on how you can keep your tech in the best possible condition. This should prevent downtime while also ensuring that your tech items are up to the demands of your business each and every day.

Staff Training

Often, issues arise with tech when staff do not know how to use the item properly. When tech is misused, it can be dangerous and cause problems that could stop it from working or slow everything down. This is why you should always make sure that staff are trained in how to use each item properly, which should also help them to excel in their role and give them confidence in using the technology that you are providing.

Use Managed IT Services

Perhaps the most effective way to keep your tech running efficiently and to prevent downtime is with managed IT services.
Experts like XBASE Technologies can provide 24/7 monitoring
 and deal with any issues that arise before they cause disruption, which will give you and your team the confidence and peace of mind to carry out your work without worries about tech issues. This can also allow you access to a higher level of technology, which could help to take your business to new heights.

Upgrade Periodically

You also need to recognize that you cannot expect to run your operation on out-of-date technology, and this is often what causes problems for businesses. Tech can deteriorate in quality over time, so you may need to upgrade every few years in order to keep the operation running efficiently. This can also help to provide new features and improve performance, so you should find that upgrading helps your business in more ways than one, and there are often
ways to make savings
.

These tips should help to prevent any tech issues from interfering with your company’s success and hopefully help you to get the most out of your tech.

Lydsto R1 Self-empty Robot Vacuum – Solving Problems of Regular Robovac

Following washing machine and dishwasher, robot vacuum is another major tech product that free us from daily chores. But the cleaning performance of a robot vacuum always seems to decline after a while.

Self-empty Robot Vacuum to Solve Suction Loss

Self-empty robot vacuum was born to address the suction loss of regular robot vacuum. What is self-empty robot vacuum? And how does it solve suction loss?

Take
Lydsto R1
, one of the best seller self-empty robovac models, for example, the 2,700pa strong suction robot comes with a dust collecting charging station. After each vacuum session, the robot is lead back to the station by high-precision sensors. The station, boasting a suction power five times of regular stick vacuum, then empties the robot through a Lydsto exclusive design side air duct and restores its strong suction.

This design is based on the fact that cleaning performance of robot vacuum is determined, to a large extent, by the suction power. And the actual suction power is determined by two factors: the standard suction power of the motor and suction loss due to resistance in the air duct. Researches on resistance in the air duct come to the conclusion that waste stacking in the dust bin is the first to blame. Researchers have confirmed that part of the suction power is lost as the dust bin fills up. The conclusion is obvious: maintaining the suction power of the robot vacuum requires emptying the dust bin in time.

Regular robot vacuum models have to be cleaned by hand. The convenience of it is offset, or even exceeded, by the time and energy spent on maintaining it. But self-empty robot vacuum emerged to solve the awkward situation with automatic dust collection.

Lydsto R1 Self-empty Robot Vacuum, Born Unconventional

Lydsto R1 dust collecting station has an arsenal of 29 high-precision sensors, including ST LPS22HBTR, KODENSHI ORA2S01, etc. ST LPS22HBTR piezoresistive sensor can detect to a long distance without being interfered, and KODENSHI ORA2S01 IR sensor can guarantee pinpoint docking of the robot.

The dust collecting station is also equipped with a 1,000W quality motor that runs at 50,000m/min to provide 30,000pa suction power (five times of stick vacuum).

The dust collection duct of most self-empty robovac models is located at the bottom, which is likely to store waste and decrease dust collecting efficiency. Lydsto R1 has its dust collecting duct designed to be a 430mm side duct directly connected to the station. The dust bin can be emptied within 12 seconds at 98% efficiency. The dust is collected in a 3L large enclosed bag which you only need to replace every month.

Additionally, armed with Lydsto patented noise reduction technology, sound absorbing material and double-partition proof, Lydsto R1 reduces the sound of dust collecting to the minimum.

Lydsto R1, now offering constant surging suction backed up with revolutionary technologies.

Package of Functions Frees You from Floor and Carpet Cleaning

The suction loss out of filled dust bin of regular robot vacuum makes APP control and scheduling pointless. With Lydsto R1, the robot is emptied after every vacuum run to keep at max suction power. Free of suction loss, the app control and scheduling functions are no longer redundancies.

Lydsto R1 is packed with LDS laser navigation, obstacle avoidance, recharge and resume, app control, and scheduled cleaning. They can guarantee cleaning performance, free you from the troubling chore, and even ‘housesit’ when you’re away for a long time.

Lydsto R1
, designed to solve the problems that regular robot vacuum fails to, relives us from physical efforts on floor and carpet cleaning altogether, The day that vacuuming is no longer a household chore is now within our reach.

KL City Takeover Powered by Samsung Galaxy A

As part of Samsung’s effort to brighten up the city, Samsung partnered with talented mural artists to, quite literally, paint the town.

Several iconic buildings across KL City have gone through a massively fun makeover. Murals painted on buildings such as the REX KL building in Chinatown no longer sport old and dull grey paint. It is now covered in bright murals featuring fun characters and colors that accurately represent the culture of Malaysia from renowned artist, Orkibal. As for the magical transformation of Drop Inn Lodge at Jalan Tun HS Lee, it is the brainchild of an outstanding graffiti whiz, Lowkey. Another iconic architecture, the Zhongshan Art Building will also go through the same beautification by well-known mural artist, Bono Stellar and is scheduled to be completed by end of May 2021.

These murals across the city serve as an inspiration to youths to always express their artistic creativity and passions with the world – freely and spontaneously. As to why this initiative is ‘Powered by Galaxy A’? That’s because Samsung wants to bring the creative and fun element of the Galaxy A series out into the world, as it was done with these murals.

I have always been a fan of smartwatches and fitness bands ever since they first came up with the idea like the Pebble back then. That was about 7 years ago. And fast forward to today, we have improved so much in its technology and that it is now well adopted by many.

Today, we see tons of companies producing smartwatches all year long from known brands to those lesser known ones. But Xiaomi has been consistent with their smartwatches that most people are happy with. Me included.

I received the new
Mi Smart Band 6 from Banggood
 a few weeks ago and I have been using it on a daily basis to track my daily routine and health monitoring. The Mi Smart Band 6, or Mi Band 6 for short (for the sake of this review) is one of those fitness trackers that works well, in my opinion. I had an Amazfit Bip a few years ago, also made by Xiaomi, that I love so much. But so many improvements have been made to its OS that the Mi Band 6 offers more functions.

Now here is my full review on the Mi Smart Band 6.

Mi Band 6 – Unboxing and First Impressions

It came in a thin long back box with a large number 6 near the bottom. That will be the first thing you’ll see apart from the image of the band itself. Inside the box you will find the band itself and the magnetic charger which has a dome like design with two connector pins. Charging it is simple. The magnet easily sticks at the back of the band. Which also means that I will have to take the band off in order to charge it.

The first time you take the band out from the box, you will notice that the main body is detached from the silicone strap. You will have to fit it in the strap yourself, which is quite easy. It fits snuggly into its “house” so you don’t have to worry about it falling off.

There are no buttons on any sides of the band. The Mi Band 6 only responds to touches and swipes but it is very smooth and responsive. The edge-to-edge full colour AMOLED screen is good. Colours are vibrant with black being totally black. This will save tons of battery power that made it last for more than a week. The design is very similar to the previous Mi Band 5 with rounded top and bottom. The screen is definitely larger, up to 1.56” from 1.1” on the Mi Band 5. And the texts are clear and crisp, thanks to the 326ppi resolution display.

To fasten it onto your wrist is very easy. It is not like a normal strap but those who have used an Apple smartwatch will find this looking familiar. Simply pull the strap through the loop and snap on to one of the many holes available. And it doesn’t unsnap that easily, which is good.

At the back of the band, you will find the sensor and two charging metal to fit the charging pins from the charger near the bottom. The heartbeat sensor also doubles up as SpO2 sensor to monitor your blood oxygen. This is a new function that comes with the Mi Band 6, hence why the sensor looks different than the one found on the Mi Band 5.

All in all, the overall look and design is good. It may look a little small on someone who has a large wrist but bottom line is, it works. It still looks good on my wrist. Best of all, it is so light that I often forget that I have a band around my wrist as it only weighs 12.8 grams.

Interface and Functions

First thing you have to do is to download the Mi Fit app in order to start connecting the Mi Band 6 to your phone. Mi Fit is available for both iOS and Android, making it compatible for all devices. Syncing is easy. Once Mi Fit is installed, you can immediately fire it up to detect the Mi Band 6 and voila, you’re done.

The Mi Band 6 can be operated by swiping in all directions, each direction will show different menu selection. Swiping left or right will go in a full loop so no matter which direction you swipe, you will end up back to the main screen. You can customise the “pages” for the left and right swipes to show you the shortcuts. You can also rearrange the shortcuts to your liking from the mobile Mi Fit app. But there is a limit to how many shortcut pages you can have. Only 6 pages are allowed, but you can access the others by swiping up or down and entering each of the functions from the menu.

There are many settings you can tinkle with on the Mi Fit app as well. For health monitoring, you can either leave it to monitor your heartbeat once every 30 minutes as default or you can have it to continuously monitor your heartbeat so that it can notify you of any abnormality. This however will reduce the battery life slightly because of the constant monitoring. Same goes with stress monitoring function.

I left the heartbeat monitoring as default but I turned on the sleep monitoring to track my sleeping time. It works well. I can know how my sleep pattern works every night like the duration of deep sleep, light sleep and REM. The information is very useful for someone who has trouble sleeping at night.

The new function, blood oxygen SpO2 monitoring is good. It does not activate automatically nor it monitors continuously but instead, you have to activate it manually. This is where the shortcut comes in handy. You will have to sit still in order to obtain the correct reading.

For some other functions, it can also do sport tracking, show notifications, act as a camera shutter, control your default music player, and has the usual alarm/timer/stopwatch functions. PAI – Personal Activity Intelligence mode and Stress calculations are also present. These are the basic functions that are also present on the Mi Band 5.

You can also set up Alipay to work with touchless mobile payment on the Mi Band 6. Alas, I’m not able to set it up on my device as I don’t have an Alipay account. Not many merchants accept Alipay here in Malaysia yet but it is made ready for any future use.

In fitness mode, there is an abundance of fitness tracking that you can monitor. There are about 30 different sports modes that you can choose from. The usuals are outdoor running, treadmill, walking, cycling, elliptical, swimming, yoga, jump rope, dance, gymnastics, volleyball, badminton and even bowling. This is the first time I see bowling in the list. If you’re a bowler like me, you can use this to track your fitness for bowling. There are many others that I feel are too long for me to list it here. But you get the idea.

Also to note, there are many watch faces that you can choose from. It is available via the Mi Fit app and the download will only take a few seconds. Go crazy!

Overall Experience

The Mi Band 6 is a great fitness tracker for sure. Apart from fitness, it can also help in monitoring your health, heart rate and sleep patterns.

Battery life is great. With the 125mAh battery, I can get it to last close to 2 weeks on a single charge, provided that I disable the continuous heart rate monitoring and PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) mode. Turning on these features will drain up the battery quicker but it can still last up to about 5 days before you need to charge it up again. And charging up back to 100% takes close to 2 hours but halfway through you can still use up for a few days.

If you’re thinking of purchasing the new Mi Band 6, it is very affordable. It is currently on discount on Banggood.com for US$52.99. I got mine from Banggood.com so you can be assured that the delivery is good. It took about a week to arrive at my doorstep and it is packed nicely. I received the China version but not to worry, English is available as one of the language options. And I believe that the China version has NFC for touchless Alipay payments. But I’m still playing around with it so I can’t really confirm that at the moment.

My overall experience has been very pleasant. I feel that the new Mi Band 6 will be popular here in Malaysia due to its affordability and durability. It is one of the best fitness trackers at the moment and it does the job well.

Microsoft Announces New Products and Guidance for Enhanced Security in Hybrid Work Environments

Microsoft telemetry shows increase in malware and ransomware encounter rates in Asia Pacific since pre-COVID
New products developed to secure remote working for customers
New guidance released for Microsoft’s transition of more than 160,000 employees to hybrid work
Multifactor authentication, Zero Trust, cloud migration and security talent key pillars to the new work reality

Microsoft Corp. has announced new products, employee plans, and guidance to tackle the global fight against increasingly large-scale and complex cyberattacks. These include additional support on multifactor authentication (MFA) and security protection for customers, along with Microsoft’s own transition of having employees adopt a Zero Trust approach.

The cybersecurity landscape has fundamentally changed due to large-scale, complex attacks in recent times. Hackers launch an average of 50 million password attacks every day—579 per second, and phishing attacks have increased. Firmware attacks are on the rise, and ransomware has become incredibly problematic. Microsoft had intercepted and thwarted a record-breaking 30 billion email threats last year and is currently actively tracking 40 plus active nation-state actors and over 140 threat groups representing 20 countries.

According to Microsoft Defender Antivirus’ telemetry, malware encounter rates in Asia Pacific have increased – 23% in Australia; 80% in China; 15% in India; 16% in Japan; 19% in New Zealand; and 43% in Singapore over the past 18 months, spanning pre-pandemic to now. As a subset of malware, ransomware encounters have also increased 453% in Australia; 463% in China; 100% in India; 541% in Japan; 825% in New Zealand; and 296% in Singapore over the same period.

According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, 53% of people surveyed in Asia plan to move because they can now work remotely – this is slightly higher than the global figure of 46%, pointing to the urgency for security to address this new way of working.

Mary Jo Schrade, Assistant General Counsel, Regional Lead, Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit Asia
, shared, “Most of our region has transitioned to remote working over the past year. As we continue the need to work from home either full time or part time, we need to adopt more tools and build our defenses against potential cyberattacks. In Asia, adopting multi-factor authentication together with a Zero Trust approach are the foundations to safer work from home or hybrid work scenarios.”

Small-and-medium businesses (SMBs) are particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats – in Asia Pacific, SMBs make up more than 98% of enterprise and employ 50% of the workforce, comprising an integral part of the region’s social and economic well-being. However, a large percentage of SMBs do not know how to protect their companies, lack dedicated IT staff and have inadequate computer and network security.

Joe Sweeney, Advisor, Intelligent Business Research Services (IBRS)
, added, “Highly automated social attacks (phishing) are on the rise. They are coming through email, instant messaging, social media and texts. It is critical for organizations to take on a Zero Trust approach to address this, by segmenting all aspects of the end user environment and treat each as untrusted.  This requires a very different thinking from the traditional ‘network as the border’ and ‘protect the device’ approach. It requires a data-centric and authentication-centric approach. While there are other security considerations, getting identity, authentication and information management sorted is essential.”

Securing remote working with new products

In line with individual and business security needs that come with remote working, Microsoft has launched new innovations to further protect customers. These new verification features include Azure AD Conditional Access to give admins more granular access controls, conditional launch settings with App Protection Policies in Microsoft Endpoint Manager, and an Azure AD shared device mode across multiple users.

Additional features and enhancements have also been launched on Microsoft 365 Defender, Azure Sentinel and Microsoft Cloud App Security. More on the new products launched globally can be found at

Microsoft’s technology plan for employees

Microsoft and its 160,000 employees made the transition to hybrid work in 2020, with the following new guidance released organization-wide to maintain and uphold security:

Keeping devices healthy and managed
: All devices that need access to corporate resources must be managed to seamlessly keep the device secure and protected from phishing and malicious websites.
Making security everyone’s job
: Microsoft is offering new training, opportunities to provide feedback, and a new virtual security summit to ensure employees are empowered and equipped to be more secure.
Securing home offices
: Microsoft will continue to build and offer resources and guidelines for employees that will work remotely either part or full time.
Building for Zero Trust
: Microsoft is asking developers to build with a Zero Trust mentality.

Four key pillars to a new work reality

As security becomes increasingly top-of-mind for individuals and businesses, Microsoft has outlined key imperatives for users to be protected against cyber threats.

#1 – Using existing tools, including MFA

Recent cyberattacks have revealed that identity will be the battleground for attacks of the future. As businesses build their defenses for the new threat landscape, they should first examine the tools they already have.

For instance, MFA is a defense that organizations have available to them, and any Microsoft customer with a commercial service subscription can turn on MFA at no additional cost. However, Microsoft’s customer data show that only 18% have it turned on. Microsoft is actively working to make MFA rollout easier and more seamless for its customers, ensuring that the end-user experience is as frictionless and friendly as possible.

#2 – Embracing a Zero Trust Mindset

People and organizations need to have trust in the technologies that bring them together and adopting a Zero Trust strategy is no longer an option, but a new business imperative. When companies assume breach and provide the least privileged access necessary, this empowers employees with the flexibility and freedom they want.

Microsoft also believes that the future is passwordless and that the industry will see the transition happening this year. It recently deployed a new Zero Trust assessment tool that can help companies understand where they are currently on their Zero Trust journey and where they need to go.

#3 – Taking advantage of more robust security in the cloud

The benefits of the cloud for a remote or hybrid workforce are plentiful, and Microsoft believes that there will be a rapid migration to the cloud over the next six to 12 months as companies recover from 2020 and implement new infrastructure. Microsoft’s recent survey of its Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) partners found that 90% reported that customers have accelerated their move to the cloud due to the pandemic.

Having a strong cloud posture also provides a level of security that most companies are unable to achieve on their own. The recent NOBELIUM cyberattack revealed that that the vast majority of attacks originated on-premises, while attacks via the cloud were largely unsuccessful.

#4 – Investing in people and skills, and focusing on diversity

The shortage of cybersecurity professionals and a lack of diversity within teams are two big problems that attackers will take advantage in the coming year.  91% of Microsoft’s MISA partners reported more demand than supply for cybersecurity professionals, and there is an estimated shortfall of 3.5 million security professionals this year. This shortage would not only mean unfilled positions, but also too much work on existing teams.

By teaching, training, and arming new talent, this will solve the issue and build the workforce of the future. It is pertinent for organizations to build diverse teams that reflect the many viewpoints of people globally, including the same demographics as cyber attackers, to meet today’s security and privacy challenges.

My first thought on the new Snapdragon 480 chip is how it will perform with gaming. Will it be the same or better than the Snapdragon 600 series? The new SD480 is based on 8nm processing and it comes with 5G capability. Too bad Malaysia has not started on 5G connectivity for public use but eventually it will be once everything is in place. I hope it’s soon.

Then it comes to the latest smartphone that I reviewed. I received the new OPPO A74 5G a few weeks ago and I got to play around with it for about 2 weeks. The OPPO A74 5G is targeted towards the mid-entry level users and it is powered by the new SD480 chip. As we all know, the SD400 series are for entry level phones. It is and should be the cheaper option when you’re getting a new phone or a second phone. But I might change your mind about it being a secondary device. Read on.

OPPO A74 5G – First Look

The OPPO A74 5G comes in a clean look, but rather large box. In the box, you will find the phone itself, some documentations, a charger brick, USB type-C data/charging cable, an earphone that doubles up as a hands-free kit and a clear silicone case. Those are the basic stuff that you will get from many other smartphone brands anyway.

I received the Space Silver colour variant. I’m not a fan of grey/silver coloured phones but the OPPO A74 5G’s colour is actually very nice. Best of all, it’s not shiny. You will get the matte surface that made it look premium. Shiny surfaced phones tend to be a fingerprint magnet and I dislike that. I’ve always preferred a matte design which to me, feels good in the hand.

The screen size is 6.5” with 90.5% screen to body ratio which has a 1080 x 2400 pixels, 20:9 ratio and at 405 ppi density. The display is an LTPS IPS LCD that goes up to 480 nits full brightness. It’s not the brightest but it does the job well enough under direct sunlight. The overall size of the phone is just right for me. I don’t like it too big and the OPPO A74 5G is just at the sweet spot. I’m a fan of smaller sized phones so the size is good for me.

Right at the top left of the display you will find the selfie camera nested inside a punch hole instead of a notch. A big thumbs up for this. Around the back, there are 4 camera modules sitting on the top left corner. This is also a standard location for cameras in any phone nowadays. I don’t have many complaints about this. It’s something we all are used to now.

On the right side on the phone, there’s the power button that doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. The indent around the power button makes it easier to locate the button without looking at the phone. On the opposite side, there’s the volume rocker located close to the middle for easy access. It may be a little too low for me because I tend to unintentionally press the volume up or down while holding the phone. Above it, there’s the SIM and microSD slot.

On top, there’s nothing much to see and it is kept simple. But around the bottom, you will be pleased to find the 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, I prefer my phone to have this. I always play games on my phone and I prefer to use a wired earphone while doing so. Next to it is the larger than usual microphone hole, the USB type-C port and a bottom firing speaker. Pretty standard design there. Also good to note that the 3.5mm port is at the bottom instead of being at the top.This is a better layout for me.

Performance and User Experience

Right. The OPPO A74 5G is powered by the new Snapdragon 480 chipset. It is supposed to be power efficient and provide better performance than its predecessors. Only a full test and daily usage can prove this. So I have used the OPPO A74 5G for 2 weeks and this is my findings.

For my daily use like social media, multi-tasking, work related, photo editing and emails, it performed way above my expectations. The SD480 is supported by 6GB of RAM and a good 128GB of internal space. Nowadays, 128GB of space is the baseline for phone storage. 64GB seems too small for today’s standards. And I have installed many apps on the OPPO A74 5G and still have ample storage left – about 80% of empty space yet to be utilized.

It runs on Android 11 out-of-the-box with OPPO’s own ColorOS 11.1. There are many novelty apps installed too that you can use to download other apps and games. It is very user friendly, making it ideal for beginners and older folks. You can download themes, wallpapers and notification sounds too.

I managed to push the OPPO A74 5G to last me the whole day on a single charge. The large 5000mAh battery performs well even when I push it with tons of gaming sessions and YouTube. After charging it to 100%, I still have about 70% of power after an hour or two while playing my usual PUBG Mobile game. And it comes with quite fast 18W charging capabilities. Most flagships nowadays can go up to 30W or 50W charging but the OPPO A74 5G can charge up to 100% from 20% in less than an hour.

For a full performance test, I installed Antutu 3D benchmark for this. This is my usual benchmarking app for such tests and we can also see how it performs alongside other phones in its class. During the test, I don’t feel any heat coming from the back panel or anywhere near the battery. That’s a good sign. And the OPPO A74 5G got a good performance score of 259544. Since this is a mid-entry level phone with a SD480 chip, the score is commendable. It is even placed on par with Mediatek’s Helio G95 that is made for gaming.

And as for gaming, my usual gaming benchmark will be PUBG Mobile. After installation, I can actually use the high graphic settings and although it does not support full HD, it is still awesome. The OPPO A74 5G also has a performance mode setup. There are 3 options to choose from – Pro Gamer Mode, Balanced Mode and Low Power Mode. Obviously for my gaming sessions, I choose the Pro Gamer Mode.

I am quite surprised at the performance. I don’t notice any game lags or sluggishness. The whole experience is buttery smooth and I’m able to play on for a long time thanks to the large battery. Some of the other flagships that I’ve used before tend to be too smooth that I felt dizzy after a while. Yes, it’s weird. But that is not the case with the OPPO A74 5G. I have to say that the whole gaming experience with this phone is superb.

If you’re looking for a phone for gaming, you should give the OPPO A74 5G a go. Not only will you have a smooth gaming experience, you will be pleased with the battery life too. I will highly recommend this if you love gaming.

Camera Performance

Now as I said earlier, the OPPO A74 5G comes with a 4 camera setup. Below are the camera specifications:

Main Camera:

48 MP, f/1.7, 26mm (wide), 1/2.0″, 0.8µm, PDAF
8 MP, f/2.2, 119˚ (ultrawide), 1/4.0″, 1.12µm
2 MP, f/2.4, (macro)
2 MP, f/2.4, (depth)

Selfie Camera:

16 MP, f/2.0, 26mm (wide)

There are a few hits and misses with the camera here. But my overall findings are okay. Shooting with the main 48MP camera is generally good. Most of the photos that I captured are good without too much post-processing sharpening. The images turned out smooth and vibrant, although can be too dark in some instances. I would turn off the auto HDR when this happens. Without the auto HDR, the colours will be more neutral.

As for the ultrawide camera, colours are slightly better. And the focus area around the edges are good without any obvious distortions. The overall focus is good and you will be pleased to use this camera setup when shooting outdoors. But when I use the macro mode, the image turns out to be a little too soft. Focus is just right, but not great. At least it is usable in most cases.

Selfies are surprisingly good, in my opinion. The focus on the details are not bad. Colours are spot on and I am pleased with the overall selfie camera performance. You can shoot normal photos or as portrait mode to get a little bokeh effect. It is done nicely without it looking awkward. Some entry level smartphones can’t get the portrait mode to work well enough. But selfies with the OPPO A74 5G is good.

Have a look at some of the photos that I took with the OPPO A74 5G below:

Normal and zoom shots.

Normal, close-up and ultrawide shots.

Portrait and normal shots.

HDR and normal shots.

Portrait and normal selfies.

Like I said, there are some hits and misses but overall, I consider it to be good especially coming from a mid-entry level device. You don’t have to worry about getting bad shots for your IG posts because the overall camera performance is good.

Conclusion

First of all, I love the size of the OPPO A74 5G. It fits nicely in my hand and the grip is good, thanks to the matte surface at the back. And I’m loving the colour too. The display is sharp and vibrant, it navigates smoothly between apps and swipes. And with the 90hz display, the smoothness is pleasing. It is a cool feature to have on a mid budget phone. I’d say that the SD480 chip has now become one of my favourites, surpassing the SD600 series.

Who is it for? Well, if you’re into gaming, this is a phone for you. If you’re looking for a phone that can last the whole day and still have some left before bedtime, this is for you. You don’t have to splurge on a mid range phone anymore because this OPPO A74 5G can give what you need, without breaking your wallet.

The OPPO A74 5G has officially become one of my favourite phones. Too bad I have to give it back after my full review, else I would’ve kept using it for a very, very long time. I would also say it’s future proof, thanks to it being 5G ready. Once the 5G service is rolled out for us Malaysians, you don’t have to switch phones (again) just to use the 5G network.

OPPO Launches 2121 Future Photography Project to Capture Everyday Moments

The 2121 Future Photography Project was launched by Global Ambassador Eddie Redmayne, who invites the world to capture photos that will resonate with those 100 years from now.
Locally, OPPO Malaysia is kicking off the Project with its Malaysia Future Photography Contest – with prizes worth a total of RM65,000 to be won!

OPPO, the world’s leading smart device brand, has launched the 2121 Future Photography Project, a campaign to encourage people from around the world to capture and share the everyday memories they want to preserve for the next 100 years.

The purpose of this is simplistically sentimental – to recognize that there is beauty around us everywhere, every day. From the people we encounter, to the food we eat, to the animals we play with, to the architecture that we see around us, or to the natural environments around us that take our breaths away. These things that we encounter every day should be documented and remembered and appreciated, not just by us but by our descendants as well.

OPPO’s Global Brand Ambassador, Academy-Award winning actor Eddie Redmayne, unveiled the Project in a video, inviting smartphone users to think about the images they want to capture, share, and save for the future.

“They always say that a picture is worth a thousand words. But there are some pictures that leave you speechless. And it’s not always the big things. Sometimes it’s the little ones. And I think in 100 years, that’s what I want people to see,” said Redmayne, who used the OPPO Find X3 Pro to shoot his own photos for this Project.

“We also want to leave the memory of the good stuff, the silly moments, the moments we came together. Our photographs can show all of that. We can share today with the world of tomorrow. And help them hopefully remember us at our best,” he added.

#DearFuture2121 Global Photography Project

OPPO’s 2121 Future Photography Project invites people from all over the world to share photos, accompanied by a message to the future; photos and messages that they believe people will resonate with 100 years from now.
