When it comes to audio devices like a True Wireless Stereo (TWS) for mobile phones, there is no doubt that a certain fruit company’s product is the best so far. While it is very expensive, to me at least, it delivers the best audio experience that is worth every ringgit in your wallet. And also to note that I am a user of that fruit company’s phone.

But when it comes to compatibility and style, I would say that the new OPPO Enco X2 TWS is very close to being a best match to its fruity rival. Not only does it sound great, it has similarities in terms of look and style too. In other words, it can easily be mistaken for a fruity product TWS as I am using a phone made by that same brand.

That is a good thing right? At least now I have a matching product, so to speak.

But don’t let the OPPO Enco X2 fool you. It may be a copy in terms of look and design, it also has its own unique function that will elevate your audio experience to another level. It has become my go to TWS at the moment and I use it everyday ever since I received it for review. So let me give you a tour on the new OPPO Enco X2 True Wireless Stereo.

OPPO Enco X2 and its Key Features

If you are familiar or have come across any of OPPO’s Enco series, you will see a familiar look when it comes to the battery enclosure. It looks like a smooth pebble on a rocky beach. The kind of pebble that you can use to throw and skip over the water for quite a distance. I particularly like this case design as it feels slim and easily fits into my front jeans pocket. I do have other TWS with me and some of the cases are either bulky or thick. Not my kind of case style.

I want to have as little bulge in my pocket as I can and the one for the OPPO Enco X2 is just about right. I received the white colour variant for review. At one glance, it does look like the fruity TWS, right? I really don’t mind the copy of style here as long as it fits comfortably. And it does. I have not experienced a more comfortable fit for a TWS in such a long time. I have zero complaints when it comes to its comfort here. It’s really nice.

The battery case can be charged up via USB-C port and also wirelessly via a compatible Qi wireless charger. I use the latter most of the time and it takes about an hour or so to reach 100%. It does charge up faster via the USB-C cable. The battery can last me about 5 hours of continuous playback for each of the TWS earbuds while the power on the case can last about 2 days if I use the earbuds frequently. It can charge up the buds up to 4 times by my count so far. Still doing some testing on that.

Having said that, I am pleased with the battery endurance on the OPPO Enco X2. And it is also a good thing that it’s using Bluetooth version 5.2 connectivity. With Bluetooth 5.2, it has lower latency and faster connection with a phone that supports BT 5.2. And guess what? I have an OPPO A96 with me that comes with Bluetooth 5.2. I can say that those two are the perfect pairing partners. And I play lots of mobile games, especially games like PUBG Mobile.

When I pair up the OPPO Enco X2 TWS, I will use the HeyMelody app on all my phones in order to experience the best sound quality. But when it comes to gaming, I will be sure to turn on the “Game mode” to activate the lower latency function for better audio response on the Enco X2 TWS. Does it really work?

Yes.

During my test, I have it on game mode while playing PUBG Mobile on the OPPO A96. The audio response is significantly faster than a connection between a Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.1. Just remember, the OPPO Enco X2 uses the latest BT 5.2 so you will need a device that uses the same Bluetooth version in order to fully take advantage of the low latency audio. And I had a lot of fun playing games with it.

The sound quality + audio response is better than I expected. Firing sound can be heard almost immediately as soon as I press the fire button. I’ve had experience with an older version of Bluetooth and the audio response was quite slow. It has an obvious delay to it. And that can be annoying. But with the new OPPO Enco X2 pairing with OPPO A96, that delay is almost gone. I said almost because there is a slight delay, a very slight delay. If I’m using a wired earphone, that is zero second delay. A very slight delay (like 0.05 second) can be considered very good for a Bluetooth TWS. Something like that.

Printing Your Precious Gift with Printcious
Now gaming aside. What about the overall audio quality for music and entertainment? When it comes to audio peripherals like speakers, headphones and earphones, I have a keen ear for the acoustics. The level of bass must match the amount of trebles. It must have good balance for me. The highs and lows must be crystal clear with the bass being solid and the treble doesn’t hiss. That being said, I put it to the test.

My song choice is Enter Sandman by Metallica. Those who have heard it, will know the solid bass drum in the beginning coupled with a hard treble from the snare. As soon as the song starts, you can tell whether it will score a high mark in your book or fail miserably. Also to note, I stream the song using the Tidal app and in its highest Master Quality setting.

The excitement drove me nuts for a while but I do have to test it. I set the volume up to the max and there I go. The beginning hard and bassy drum comes on. The sound of the bass is quite solid. I was expecting a harder bass punch but it felt like the OPPO Enco X2 only gave 85% of its true bass potential. Nevertheless, it still feels solid and strong. If I hear some crackling sounds, I know it failed the test. But the Enco X2 pushes on without breaking. That’s good so far. Now what about the treble snare?

As for the highs, it sounded way better than the lack of bass punches. It produces nice crystal clear highs that I feel on par with that fruity branded earbud. This excites me. I love hearing crystal clear notes and vocals. I personally think that the OPPO Enco X2 delivers that nicely. I know it can be better but you get a really good buy for the price you pay here.

On a high note, pardon the pun, the OPPO Enco X2 sounded really good even on max volume. The bass is punchy enough for me but it wins in the audio clarity department. On paper, OPPO collaborates with DynAudio for the enhanced audio tuning with three separate audio profiles namely Real, Simple & Clear and Punchy.

The Real audio profile gives the nearest enhancement to the original audio file with some tweaks to the clarity and surround. It does sound better than having the profile turned off and the improvement is obvious. As for Simple & Clear, it reduces the bass while increasing the highs to make it even more crystal clear. This is great when you want to focus more on the vocals or listening to Podcasts. Finally, the Punchy profile is for those who seek strong hard hitting bass like me. This is my default profile and I have this profile on at all times. Totally worth it.

If you’re wondering about the Active Noise Cancellation function, that worked really well too. You can either choose the Transparency mode or have the ANC on to totally block out any ambient noise. I prefer to have the Transparency mode on at the office so that I can at least hear my colleague talking in case he wants to talk to me. But I will have the ANC on at home when I want to immerse myself in my own zone while listening to some tunes.

There are also the Golden Sound settings where you can calibrate the OPPO Enco X2 to suit your ear by doing a series of tests and fine tuning the audio to optimise how the sound travels without your ear canal. By doing so, you will appreciate the better audio quality when you have the OPPO Enco X2 in your ear.

Conclusion

No doubt, the OPPO Enco X2 is one of the best TWS you can get at the price point right now without going for the more expensive fruity branded one. It has been my go-to TWS at the moment and it is the one that I grab most often whenever I feel like tuning in to my music playlist. I do have a few other TWS at my disposal but somehow, the OPPO Enco X2 is my choice at the moment.

The battery case size is just right for me. I can comfortably have it in my jeans pocket all the time and the pairing is done almost immediately when I take the TWS out of the case. Gaming is fun as it eliminates the wires and the low latency on Bluetooth 5.2 helps a lot. What more can I say, it is my current favourite and maybe it should be yours too.

The new OPPO Enco X2 True Wireless Stereo is now available for
RM799.00
 at
OPPO’s official store
. Available colours are white and black. That is as simple as you can get. And it’s worth it for me.

Samsung New PRO Endurance Memory Card is Now Available In Malaysia

More durable, higher capacity microSD card optimized for surveillance and dashboard cameras, enables up to 16 years of continuous recording and playback to capture every critical moment

Samsung Malaysia Electronics today announced the availability of its new microSD card, the Samsung PRO Endurance at Lazada, Shopee and participating Samsung Authorized Dealers nationwide.

Uniquely designed to meet the rigorous demands of surveillance cameras, dashboard cameras, doorbell cameras, body cameras and more, the card offers improved endurance and outstanding performance for smooth and reliable continuous capture and playback.

“From CCTV to doorbell cameras, the need for long-lasting and high-performing video surveillance solutions is continuing to increase, and the PRO Endurance has been designed to support that demand,” said KyuYoung Lee, Vice President of the Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics. “Both consumers and enterprise users can rest assured that our new memory card will ensure continuous recording at high resolution even under extreme conditions.”

Strengthened Endurance

Built with Samsung’s highly reliable enterprise-grade NAND flash memory, the PRO Endurance card can deliver up to 16 years (140,160 hours) of continuous recording time to ensure every critical moment is captured. This means a single PRO Endurance card can last as long as up to 33 typical speed-focused cards, saving frequent replacement costs and providing greater reliability for always-on video monitoring.

Improved Performance

Samsung’s new memory card also offers read and write speeds of up to 100 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 40 MB/s, respectively, and is rated Class 10 with video speed ratings of up to U3 (UHS Speed Class 3) and V30 (Video Speed Class 30). This makes it ideal for handling large, high-resolution files while enabling seamless recording and playback in Full HD and 4K.

Long-Lasting Durability

Since outdoor surveillance and body cameras can be subject to harsh environments, the PRO Endurance has been engineered to offer trusted performance in everyday use with Samsung’s reinforced six-proof durability. In addition to protection against water, magnets, X-rays and extreme temperatures, the card is now wearout-proof and drop-proof.

Samsung Unveils Experiential Virtual Playground ‘Space Tycoon’ on Roblox

The metaverse space gives users the chance to experience and interact with Samsung products in a brand-new way

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of Samsung Space Tycoon (“Space Tycoon”), a virtual playground built inside the global metaverse platform Roblox. Space Tycoon is a virtual space where users can create, play games and share experiences using Samsung Electronics’ products together with alien characters in space, taking design and functionality cues from business simulation ‘tycoon’ genre.

Samsung has created this service targeting Gen Z customers to provide them with an integrated, metaverse experience where they can create and enjoy their very own Samsung products. Samsung’s aim is to enable Gen Z customers to experience the brand and interact with one another.

“Space Tycoon is designed to be a playground where many customers can experience unlimited possibilities of virtual spaces,” said Jinsoo Kim, Executive Vice President at Corporate Design Center in Samsung Electronics. “We wanted to give our Gen Z customers a chance to experience Samsung products in a way they have never done before. We will continue to showcase content that can deliver more meaningful and entertaining digital experiences for both our current and future customers.”

Set in the Samsung Space Station as well as the research laboratory where alien characters conduct research on Samsung’s newest products, Space Tycoon consists of three specific play areas: the Mining Zone for resource procurement, the Shop for game item purchase and the Lab for product manufacturing.

In Space Tycoon, using the excavated resources, users can design various Samsung products — from Galaxy-smartphones to various TVs and home appliances — and purchase or upgrade game items. Users can get creative by starting with real-life products and giving them a makeover to become in-game gadgets. For example, the foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip can turn into a bag or a scooter, just as users will be more imaginative with the Jet Bot vacuum cleaner turning into a hoverboard or The Sero lifestyle TV into a one-person helicopter.

ALSO READ

Getting Everything Done is Greater Than Getting One Thing Done
Currently, over 20 Samsung products are available in the Shop where the colors of the purchased items can change randomly depending on the levels achieved and new series of products will be regularly updated.

Space Tycoon will simultaneously launch in 14 languages, including Korean, English, Chinese and Spanish. Additional features where users can interact with one another, share their creations and attend exclusive virtual parties will be further added in the future. In addition, Samsung will hold dedicated online events through its website Samsung.com under the
#YouMake campaign
 that is focused on coloring and collecting Samsung products.

How Solve For Tomorrow 2021 Winners from Around Southeast Asia & Oceania Are Building a Better World

Harnessing this belief, Samsung is committed to empowering future generations to achieve their full potential and pioneer positive change.

Solve For Tomorrow is a global program created to provide unique learning opportunities for students to use their knowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) to build meaningful solutions to tackle societal problems. Through this annual competition, students also gain invaluable skills in teamwork, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity, preparing them for the future workforce.

In Southeast Asia and Oceania, over 6,500 entries were received for Solve for Tomorrow 2021 programs that ran across Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Vietnam. Over the past year, the overall program has reached more than 80,000 individuals, spreading the culture of innovation and creativity among schools and communities throughout the region.

We spotlight the young winners from across the region, and the outstanding innovations they have created to drive real, positive impact.

For the 2021 edition of Solve for Tomorrow in Australia, students were encouraged to create fun TikTok videos that presented social issues of personal relevance while highlighting STEM-based solutions.

Tasmania-based Meg Phillips emerged as the overall winner, driven by her passion for animal conservation. Tapping on her experience at an engineering internship, she created an RFID-based system to warn animals of approaching cars. Known as the ‘Roadkill Reducer’, an alarm is sounded whenever animals are near roadsides or when a car is nearby. Her innovative solution utilises existing RFID technology and requires minimal infrastructure, making it a practical system with the potential to reduce both wildlife casualties and keep drivers safe.

The Benefits of Technology for Puzzle Solving

Families and individuals can both take pleasure in puzzle solving. All puzzles have one thing in common: they exercise your brain. It doesn’t matter if your chosen challenge is a 1,000-piece jigsaw, the Sunday crossword puzzle from the New York Times, a wooden brain teaser, or a 3D mechanical puzzle. Despite having a very long history, puzzles are still incredibly popular in the digital age.

Puzzles have been around since the beginning of time and take many different shapes. Riddles, puzzle jugs from Cyprus dating to 1700 BCE, and magic squares making their debut in China around 700 BCE are all mentioned in the Bible. In the modern age, John Spilsbury created the jigsaw puzzle in 1767,
crossword
 puzzles first appeared in newspapers in 1913, and the Rubik’s Cube was created in 1974.

There are countless different sorts and styles of puzzles. Did you realize that puzzles can also be good for adult brains? We are all aware of how beneficial puzzles are for children’s physical and mental development. There are seven specific ways that puzzles are good for your brain. So get your pencils sharpened, clear the coffee table, and get ready for a mental lift.

Puzzles Develop Both Sides of Your Brain

Your two hemispheres each govern many aspects of your brain. The right side of your brain controls creativity, whereas the left side controls rational and analytical cognition. Your brain is working hard because you are using all of its surfaces when you solve a puzzle.

They Improve Memory

Because they make new connections and enhance existing ones, puzzles are a great way to improve short-term memory. We are employing memory to complete the puzzle when we recollect the shapes, sizes, and pieces from a jigsaw puzzle and visualize how they go together. According to studies, making new connections in the brain helps minimize the brain damage experienced by Alzheimer’s patients.

They enhance spatial awareness, vision, and mental acuity.

You must be able to visualize the arrangement of the pieces or the words in their proper positions when looking at individual crossword or jigsaw puzzle components. Performing this regularly may enhance your visual and spatial thinking abilities, making you a better driver and possibly a Tetris-like packer, according to USA Today (especially when loading your car to take a college-age child to school).

They Improve Your Mood

Dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, memory, and focus, is one neurochemical that puzzles and help the brain produce in greater amounts. Dopamine is created each time we solve a challenge. Why do puzzles appeal to us so much?

Your Levels of Stress Are Lower

Puzzles not only help our brains, but they also have a relaxing effect. While we are trying to figure out how to solve the problem, our minds are exclusively focused on one action, which stimulates our brains.

Your IQ may increase as a result

Because they improve our memory, focus, language, and reasoning skills, puzzles raise our IQ scores. According to research from the University of Michigan, solving puzzles for at least 25 minutes each day can boost intelligence by 4 points.

TV vs The Big Screen Magic At Home

In today’s society, we see a surging demand for digital screening as we move towards digitalization. Streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, HBO, and Amazon Prime have been increasingly popular, and are some of the most sought for platforms to stream movies, variety shows, documentaries as well as drama series.

During the start of the pandemic, we were unable to visit cinemas and enjoy movies on the big screen. We were all stuck at home, and could only stream movies on out television, laptop, and phone, which are smaller as compared to the big screen that cinemas have.

Although we are now allowed to go back into the cinemas but who wouldn’t want to achieve cinema experiences at the safety and comfort of their own homes? To do that, you could simply invest in projectors!

There are many misconceptions of projectors and many would often think that projectors require high maintenance as they need regular servicing, a large space for it to work, difficult installation, and many more. However, those are all myths, and having a projector will benefit you in many ways too!

Here are 5 advantages of having a projector:

1. Large Images

When using a projector, it projects a larger image and allow us to see the graphics clearer. Using
Epson’s Ultra Home Projectors
, it allows us to have a detailed view of the screen allowing for immersive experience, hence bringing the feel of cinema right at home in our own couches and bed!

2. Eye comfort

Did you know that your eyes feel more comfortable when looking at projected images as compared to digital screens like televisions? This is due to the effect that reflected light has on our eyes, instead of emitted light from televisions.

With larger images, we would not need to strain our eyes as we stream movies and shows, because
Epson’s Ultra Home Projectors
 allow us to adjust and shift the lens to our liking. Moreover, they offer good colour balance which brings a more pleasant viewing experience.

3. Portable

Many thinks that projectors are large and bulky which makes it hard to carry around wherever we go. In reality, if we look at the specifications of Epson’s projectors such as the
Epson EpiqVision Mini EF-11 Laser Projection TV
, it is compact with a dimension of 175 x 175 x 58 mm, on top of that it weighs approximately 1.2kg. It can be easily carried around and be used anywhere as long as there is electricity and a power plug.

4. Cost effective

Projectors are cost effective as they can last us for a number of years without the need of constant servicing. Essentially they are much more affordable as compared to a large-screen, high-resolution television set. Additionally, better projectors has great contrast ratios, hence better image quality, and that makes projectors significantly a better investment as compared to televisions.

5. Easy to install

They are easy to install and doesn’t require complicated set-up procedures. Epson has projectors that are easy to set-up such as the
Epson Home Theatre TW750 Full HD 1080P 3LCD Projector
. It is able to connect to our devices effortlessly through Bluetooth, which saves the trouble of plugging wires into our devices. Furthermore, all projectors need is a flat surface, plug into a power source, connect to your preferred device to stream whatever you like. Once the whole installation is completed, just sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
