Fujifilm announces the X-A1 entry-level mirrorless camera with conventional sensor

Fujifilm recently announced the X-A1 DSLR digital camera, featuring an X-mount mirrorless digital camera body targeting the entry-level market. The X-A1 looks a lot like the X-M1 but uses a 16MP sensor with conventional Bayer color filter array unlike the other X-series models which use the X-Trans design. The X-A1 still has some interesting tech specs and features including a 920k-dot tilting rear screen and built-in WiFi along with an EXR Processor II to help increase the overall speed performance. Since it is an entry-level model the price is $599 (RM1929) with the XC 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OIS standard zoom. Despite this the X-A1 should still offer a good starting point for those just going into DSLRs as the kit offers a compact yet lightweight body with good features and an above average zoom lens.


Fujifilm announces the X-A3 entry-level mirrorless camera

The X-A3 improves on its predecessor with a new 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor (but not using the X-Trans sensor), better autofocus, and a 3-inch screen that flips up 180 degrees — that is five degrees better than the predecessor model X-A2. The company has also added a smile detection feature and skin-tone improvements to make selfie shots better out of the camera.

For serious shooting, it comes with 77-point autofocus, 1080p/60fps video, Wifi, and the Film Simulation modes that is associated with Fujifilm, except for ACROS, which is found in its higher end models. The X-A3 will come bundled with the XC 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OIS II lens in you choice of three colors: silver, brown or pink. It will be available in October at a price of $599 (~RM 2410).

Fujifilm announces the new X-T2

For mirrorless enthusiasts, Fujifilm is a name that bears noticing as their range of mirrorless cameras frequently tops the range of most wanted cameras by both pros and amateurs. The latest mode, the Fujifilm X-T2 is no different. It gives users cutting-edge performance that delivers premium imaging quality in a classic design.

Compared to the X-T1, the X-T2 houses the latest generation 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III with an APS-C sensor with no low-pass filter, boasting the highest performance in the history of X Series. For the first time, the new FUJIFILM X-T2 now supports 4K video recording for times you need that extra resolution in your videos. The X-T2 offers a 2.36 million-dot OLED EVF from its predecessor, but now the 1.04 million-dot 3" LCD has an additional hinge for waist-level portrait-orientation shooting. Like the X-T1, this camera is weather-sealed.

The Fujifilm X-T2 will be available in September for $1,599.95 (~RM 6399) body-only, or bundled with the XF18-55mm for $1,899.95 (~RM 7598).


Fujifilm announces their first medium-format camera – the GFX-50S at Photokina 2016

Camera sensors comes in many sizes – from the smallest sensor in smartphones, all the way to full frame sensors in professional DSLRs. However there are larger sensors than Full Frame in existence – and Fujifilm just announced their first camera using it. The GFX-50s is the company’s first medium format camera – and it is a beauty.

With a megapixel count of 51.4MP – the most important aspect of the camera is the physical size of the sensor – it has nearly 1.7 times the pixel area than a full frame sensor, so it carries more data in every shot. The new camera mount comes with a slew of new lenses, which was also announced during the launch. The first three lenses, expected in 'Early 2017' will be: the GF 63mm F2.8 R WR, a GF32-64mm F4R LM WR and GF 120mm F4 Macro. The 0.79x crop means these are a 50mm, 25-50mm and 95mm equivalent, respectively.

A new feature of the GFX-50S is the clip-on pentaprism EVF, which is an EVF that slips into the hotshoe to give it a viewfinder for composition. The system will be available early 2017, with pricing 'to be below USD 10,000 (~RM 41000)' when it is available then.

Fujifilm launches X-T4 mirrorless camera, comes with in-body stabilisation

News of the Fujifilm X-T4 surfaced a few weeks ago when it was rumoured that the new version would feature built-in stabilisation. Fujifilm confirmed this with its official launch yesterday when it revealed that the camera would come with a 5-axis in-body stabilisation (IBIS).

In addition, the X-T4 will also come with a 3-inch LCD screen. This is a touchscreen display that has 180-degree of tilt to it, so if you need to do any video recording or vlogging you can easily see what you're capturing. Besides that, the X-T4 comes with a full-frame 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor that can deliver fast burst shooting mode of 15fps, 4K recording at 60fps, and even slow-motion (240fps) recording at 1080p.

We're not sure when the new mirrorless camera will make its way to Malaysia, but the chance of it happening is pretty good. Having said that, the X-T4's upgrades over the X-T3 aren't many, mainly being the IBIS feature. So, is it important enough for you to warrant the extra cost? Let us know what you think on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news like this.


Fujifilm launches the entry level X-A10

For budget photographers, the choices are endless in terms of cameras available on the market. While smartphone photography has gone so far, it is still limited by the fact that it is limited to the lens attached to the camera sensor. Interchangeable cameras gives you the best selection of features and capabilities in a compact body, and the latest camera from Fujifilm, the Fujifilm X-A10 is a great representative of the saying.

It comes with a 16.3 megapixel APS-C sensor, but a normal Bayer sensor rather than the X-Trans. As this is a selfie-centric camera, the screen at the back flips up for selfie framing. The rear LCD employs the slide-and-tilt mechanism so that even when it is tilted by 180 degrees, the LCD is not blocked by the camera, allowing for 100% visibility. The X-A10 also features the Portrait Enhancer mode for natural and beautiful skin-tone reproduction.

The X-A10 offers a total of six Film Simulation modes, namely the true-to-life colours of PROVIA (standard), the vibrant tones and saturated colours of Velvia (vivid), the soft tones of ASTIA (soft), the documentary-style deep colours and soft shades of CLASSIC CHROME, as well as Monochrome and Sepia. The camera can take up to 410 shots per battery charge. Fujifilm also bundles the standard lens XC16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 lens in the box. Full HD video recording and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity comes standard in the box.

If you are looking for this camera to own, it will be priced for USD 499 (~RM 2219) when it is available worldwide in January.


Fujifilm set to unveil X-T4 on 26 February 2020, may come with in-body stabilisation

Cameras don't come out as rapidly as smartphones but they're no less interesting for enthusiasts. For fans of Fujifilm, be excited because the company confirmed that there would be news of the new X-T4 mirrorless camera on the 26th February 2020. This was recently announced during the launch of the X100V in London.

According to Engadget, the X-T4 will likely feature Fujifilm's latest X-Trans APS-C sensor and In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). IBIS was previously available to the X-H series cameras, but it seems Fujifilm may have managed to make the component small enough to fit into X-T series cameras. In terms of specs, it is speculated that the new camera would support 10-bit 6K 60 fps video recording.

While it seems the date for the unveiling of the Fujifilm X-T4 is official, we can't confirm if the specs and features speculated above are accurate. For now, you'll just have to wait for a few more weeks to find out. With that said, are you excited about this camera and what features would you like to see added to it?

Fujifilm to release four new cameras in February

During CES 2016, Fujifilm has revealed not one but four new models for camera enthusiasts – a point and shoot FinePix XP90, the premium X-Pro 2, and two mid-range cameras X-E2S and X70. All four models will be available in February (Malaysia still unknown though), prices are listed below.

The FinePix XP90 is designed to be flexible for a photo taking adventure, it's waterproof (50ft), shockproof (6ft), freezeproof (-10 celcius) and dustproof.  It features 16.4-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, 5x optical zoom and 28mm wide-angle lens. The LCD is 3-inch wide and can also capture 1080p footage at up to 60 fps, as well as 480 fps slow-motion videos and 360-degree panorama pictures. The price tag is $230 (around RM1011).

Next,  the X-Pro2 is a high-end camera for professional photographers. The X-Pro2 sports a 24.3-megapixel X-trans CMOS III sensor and new X-Processor Pro imaging chip, up to 8 fps continuous shooting, an extended ISO of 51,200 and a weather-resistant aluminum body, and an Advanced Hybrid Multi Viewfinder on a 3-inch, 1.62 million dot LCD. There's no 4K video recording option for it though, at most it's only 1080p at 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps. Dual memory card slots are present as well, and the body cost $1700 (around RM7473).

If the above are too expensive, then maybe the mid-range cameras can do. The X-E2S and X70 http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/14/fujifilm-x-e2s-x70/ are made for people who are just getting started with the art of photography. First, the X-E2S, packs a 16.3-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor, alongside a newly developed 49-point autofocus system and a max ISO range of up to 51,200. Like the X-Pro2, there's no 4K video recording option too and only 1080p at 24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps.

As for the X70, its AF system and ISO sensitivity is the same as the X-E2S, but it has a pop-up flash and command dials. What's more, it also has a rotating (180 degrees) touchscreen, the first camera to have one from  the X-Series line.

For body-only, both cost $700 (around RM3077) and an option to buy $1000 (around RM4396) for the X-E2S bundle which includes a Fujinon XF 18-55mm, f/2.4-4 R LM optical image stabilization lens.

We will let you photographers know if these four are coming to Malaysia or not, so stay tuned.


Fujitsu Announces Arrows A smartphone, 3-day battery + 10-minute charge + fingerprint sensor

Fujitsu has also come out with a smartphone recently, and has announced it as the Fujitsu Arrows A 301F with a release date in Japan due for December 2013. Featuring an almost Samsung Galaxy S4 like design, the smartphone adds on a number of fairly attractive features such as a 3-day battery life (due to the Sharp IGZO display panel), a 10-minute charge resulting in 1-day worth of battery life and a fingerprint scanner on the backside. Other tech specs for the Fujitsu Arrows A are equally impressive which include:

The Arrows A smartphone certainly looks technologically impressive but it looks like it may be limited to just Japan markets. It is also set for IPX5 / IPX8 water proof certification. No Malaysia release dates or pricing but if a global version does come out it will likely be in 2014.


Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G officially announced with iris scanner

Move over fingerprint scanner smartphones, the iris scanner equipped Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G smartphone has been officially announced. Tech specs are quite high-end with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 5.2-inch 2K display, 21MP rear camera, 4G LTE-A connectivity, Voice-over-LTE, NFC, WiFi ac and a 3120 mAh battery. The overall design is rectangular with very slim bezels. Thankfully, the iris scanner, which is called Iris Passport has been quite integrated as it can be used to unlock your phone, for any password and as payment authentication. It is even fast and smart, taking just about half a second to scan your eyes and featuring the ability to differentiate between different eyes. Unfortunately, the Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G looks to be a Japan only release at $750 (RM2813) but it could be a sign of things to come with iris scanning hopefully becoming more common in smartphones for Malaysia soon.


Fujitsu Arrows Tab announced, offers multi-user fingerprint scanner

As more smartphones announce fingerprint scanners, the recently announced Fujitsu Arrows Tab FJT21 is one of the few tablets to have a fingerprint scanner as well. And it isn't just any old swipe fingerprint scanner, the one on the Arrows Tab is multi-user which means you can pass it around and have various different users on a single tablet. Running on Android 4.2, there are modes for guests, kids and general users. Tech specs and features for the Fujitsu Arrows Tab FJT21 are quite impressive which include:

The Fujitsu Arrows Tab FJT21 is slated for release in November 2013, but it will likely stay in Japan only. If it does get a global release, expect Malaysia release dates to come after November 2013. Unfortunately, no pricing was available, but with these specs we expect it to be quite high.

A new and improved Huawei Mate X will be unveiled on MWC 2020 next year

Based on a statement by Gizmochina.com, it seems that Huawei is expected to unveil a new and improved Huawei Mate X smartphone during MWC 2020 next year. The device is expected to come with several improvements such as a better chipset, a more durable screen and hinge mechanism.

Based on our assumptions, next year’s Huawei Mate X will most likely come equipped with the HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset along with the Balong 5000 5G modem. However, we are unsure whether Huawei plans on upgrading other aspects of the foldable device and whether the price will be the same as this year’s Mate X.

With all that said, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Huawei has yet to provide an official statement in regards to the smartphone in question. Not only that, but there’s also no official news in regards to the Malaysia release date and local pricing for now.

Would you be interested in getting the Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone which is due to be unveiled next year? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.


Full HD ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME572CL and MeMO Pad 8 ME581CL tablets available in Malaysia

They are also running on 64-bit 1.83GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3560 processors. Both tablets should be available in Malaysia if not now then soon but do check out the full tech specs and videos below:


Full Huawei Mate 10 body image "leaked" revealing its EntireView display in full glory

Yesterday we showed you a render concept video of the Huawei Mate 10, while it looks nice and all, it's not as good as the real thing. Well, we got ourselves some leak shots of the Mate 10's EntireView display. Some of you might have already seen the panel, but not the one that's turned on with apps in it.

As "real" as it looks, it's best we take this image with a pinch of salt. From the looks of it, the flagship does really like "bezel-free" as what Richard Yu, Huawei CEO said not too long ago. The physical home button is gone as well, but we aren't too sure if Huawei will continue the fingerprint scanner behind or embed it beneath the display. And of course, the display looks huge enough to accommodate the 18:9 ratio.

To recap, the Mate 10 will house the newest Kirin 970 processor with A.I. on board. Rumours have it that the flagship will still use the same 12MP + 20MP dual cameras like its predecessors. Stay tuned for more Huawei news at TechNave.com.


Full Huawei Nova 3 model shots leaked online

Are you a fan of the Huawei Nova series? Well good news, it seems that there will be a new model called the Nova 3, reported from a rumoured news source that started from China and here's what we know so far about the mid-range smartphone.

Obviously, Huawei is using the FullView display and it's almost 6-inch long. Even though that's the case, there's still the home button cum fingerprint scanner at the front there so that's a bit surprising, since the Nova 2i has none and it's located behind. Anyway, with that screen size, the aspect ratio is 18:9 and it's in 2160 x 1080 resolution.

In addition, the price is "listed" as $450 (~RM1859) and it sounds just about the right price since the Nova 2 Plus was RM1999 when it made its debut. But we shall see, so until then stay tuned for more Huawei news at TechNave.com.


Full Nokia 9 tech-specs leak online, shows a 41MP + 20MP + 9.7MP triple camera setup and more

Nokia 9, now that's a name that has been ringing online since last year. Initially, it was supposed to come last year as rumoured but that didn't happen. However, we do have a new tech-specs leak and the phone model rendered image. Also, guess what, it's coming with a triple camera setup. Let's check it out below and do take it with a grain of salt.

So unless if you can actually read the whole thing in the image, the PDF file there reads that the Nokia 9 is a serious flagship with some badass specifications. First up, we aren't surprised of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset appearing there, as well as having 8GB of RAM, but what intrigues us is that the internal storage will be a gigantic 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Furthermore, the battery juice is high up at 3900mAh and even has Quick Charge 4.0, as well as Qi wireless charging.

The display size is 6.01-inch made out of AMOLED supporting QHD resolution with Gorilla Glass 5 grade, so that's some toughness there. It also includes an IP68 water and dust resistant grade feature, alongside a strong chassis body from an 18 karat gold finish ceramic measuring 150.6 x 75.2 x 7.3mm. Screen-to-body ratio is not 19:9, though, unlike most new phones nowadays, it's sticking to 18:9 which is still big regardless.

Perhaps the most interesting one is the triple camera setup, it will have a 41MP + 20MP + 9.7MP lens, in the order of RGB, telephoto and monochrome as according to the list (seriously, a 20MP telephoto lens). Moreover, the phone will use ZEISS optics and a big 21MP front camera.

Last of all, the Android OS is up to date with 8.1 and it won't have any headphone audio jack port. But what do you think? Does it look legit? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more Nokia news at TechNave.com.


Full 'OnePlus 6' model shot leaked online

Just another friendly reminder, the OnePlus 6 will be revealed pretty soon on 17 May 2018 in China and as always, before the big launch, there will always be a leaked model and here online, someone just had to compare the OnePlus 6 model to an Apple iPhone X.

As mentioned by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau, the upcoming flagship will definitely have a notch on top of the design but here's the intriguing part - despite having a smaller notch area than the iPhone X, it still includes a 3D facial recognition sensor, an LED notification lighting, a front camera and an earpiece. Also, not only is there an option to hide the notch, but the device can also blacken the chin area to make it look even when held horizontally which is kinda great.

Pretty cool to hide the notch and the chin

Speaking of the chin area, there's still a speaker grill, the 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port. The Alert Slider is also present on the left side together with the volume buttons. Overall, the flagship will have a glossy glass design and sources say some water resistance and wireless charging could make it.

Sorry about the poor picture quality by the way, we looked for the original source and it's as poor as this. But what do you think of the look? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more OnePlus news at TechNave.com.


Full Samsung Galaxy Quantum 2 specs leaked, could be rebranded as Galaxy A82 5G for global market

As we have previously reported, there could be a new Samsung Galaxy Quantum 2 phone in the making and it may be unveiled on 23 April 2021. So far, what we have gotten are rumoured tech specs but new images of the phone are now circulating online. Here's what we know so far.

From the leaked images below, we can see that the Galaxy Quantum 2 doesn't look too extraordinary but it kind of 'confirmed' that it has a triple rear camera. Sources are claiming that the phone is sporting a 64MP main camera supporting f/1.8 aperture and Optical Image Stabilizer. As for the other two lenses, it would be the typical ultrawide and macro lens with 12MP and 5MP respectively.

Full Samsung Galaxy S20 FE render image leaked, could come in 6 colours

There are plenty of leaks about the Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition before the Samsung event next week. According to rumours, the device could be unveiled on the ‘Unpacked for Every Fan’ event that is held on 23 September 2020. Here’s another new leak about the device.

According to the leaker - Evleaks, the device might sport a triple rear camera setup and a punch-hole selfie sensor at the top middle of the display. On top of that, the camera bump is quite apparent and it should look very similar to the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G. Besides that, we think by comparing it with the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G, the Galaxy S20 FE might be using a flat-screen instead of a curved edge display after we zoomed in the image.

Since this has already been pretty widely reported, might as well force-feed it to the rest of you (Kinda proud of my pagination here!) pic.twitter.com/FlJgMNrfvk

The colour variants of the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

The Galaxy S20 FE might also come in 6 colour variants which are red, dark blue, green, purple, orange, and white. Out of the 6 colours, we think there must be one that you are searching for to suit your style. But could Samsung Malaysia bring all these colours to Malaysia or just certain regions? Well, we have no idea for now so please wait until the event next week.

Which colour variant is your favorite? To know more, you may click here. Let us know in the comments below, be sure to stay tuned for more tech news on TechNave.com.


Full-body image shot of Motorola Moto X4 leaked online

Previously, we showed you a Moto X4 leaked image from a supposedly Motorola conference this early month but only the dual rear camera part. With the unveiling date coming soon on 24 August 2017, someone managed to snap a full-body shot of the device, revealing itself in full glory before its debut.

The dual rear cameras behind looks exactly the same as the last one we saw, the body design is also very shiny, assuming it's made out of chrome material, following some of the smartphone manufacturers footsteps in making the body reflective of the light shining on it. Anyway, the cameras behind are said to be a 12MP RGB sensor + 8MP wide-angle lens camera. The front isn't so shabby too, packing a 16MP selfie sensor.

To add on to the tech-specs, the device will run on a Snapdragon 630 process, 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM, rumours have it that a 4GB + 64GB will appear too but only in the Asia region. The battery will be 3000 mAh and Android 7.0 Nougat is surely pre-installed.

Will the Moto X4 come to Malaysia? Seeing how increasingly popular Motorola is becoming, we think so. But we will keep our eyes on it. So stay tuned for that at TechNave.com.


Full-frame Sony Alpha A7s announced, packs in 4K video output

Sony recently announced their full-frame Alpha A7s mirrorless camera. Notable tech specs and features include an ISO range of 50 to 409600 and a 12.2MP full-frame sensor with downscaling for 3850 x 2160 4K video, but the real kicker is that it can output 4K video at 4:2:2 colour sampling via HDMI. While it remains true to the Sony Alpha school of design with it's solid build and feel, it offers a number of internal tech specs and features which add on a bit more value to the camera. This includes WiFi, NFC, XAV S-Format support, a Multi-interface shoe and APS-C cropping in 1080p mode. The Sony Alpha A7s remains a very solid still image camera but the new features make it a much better 4K and HD video recorder. Unfortunately, we still have no pricing or Malaysia release dates but we expect it to come within Q2 of 2014.


Full image render of the Lenovo Legion Gaming Phone revealed

When we first heard of the Lenovo Legion Gaming Phone back at the end of February, we were (and still are) pretty excited by what they can bring to the table. There are only bits and pieces of news about this device around the Internet for now, but we may have finally got a first good look at the body thanks to Pricebaba.

Spotted on China's patent website, CNIPA, the leak reveals all sides of the device in a complete image render. At the moment, there are two colour models which are in red and metallic grey. You can see the huge Legion branding at the back along with the Y logo slapped in the centre, along with a triple rear camera setup.

Speaking of the front display, we also got a better look with the schematics drawings. There are no signs of any notch and the front camera will be at the top bezel there. To add on, there is an earpiece there too which should also function as the secondary speaker as all gaming phones have a pair of dual stereo speakers.

In terms of features, it's also revealed that the Legion Gaming Phone will sport a 5050mAh battery pack which will be supported by new cooling technology and a 55W fast charging feature (as confirmed by Lenovo). We can also see a pair of buttons on the same row as the volume and power button so that's good news for mobile gamers too. It appears there will be a secondary Type-C port as well. Besides that, rumours have it that the refresh rate can go up to 144Hz.

That's all we know for now, but we expect to see more Lenovo Legion Gaming Phone news coming out in the next few weeks. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but until then, stay tuned for more of that at TechNave.com.

Full specs of 3 OnePlus 8 series devices now known, Pro variant boasts 120Hz refresh rate display

It was just last week when we found renders of the OnePlus 8 Lite, which showed us a device that had no audio jack and a punch-hole camera. Now, a series of leaked screenshots show full lists of tech specs for the OnePlus 8 series and there's three of them.

The three devices were revealed through Weibo were the OnePlus 8 Lite, OnePlus 8, and OnePlus 8 Pro. Interestingly, the leak confirms that the phones will have the punch-hole design. For both the OnePlus 8 Lite and OnePlus 8, the front camera will be set in a punch-hole design. On the other hand, it seems like the OnePlus 8 Pro could feature a larger punch-hole or notch to accommodate its alleged dual-front camera sensors.

In terms of tech specs, all three of the devices have a high refresh rate AMOLED displays, meaning these phones are targeted at mobile gamers. They'll probably do well on that front too if the specs are for real. The OnePlus 8 Lite is listed with a MediaTek 1000 chipset, which is the chipmaker's latest 5G chipset with an 8-core CPU combining Arm Cortex-A77 and A55 cores. It's expected to be a direct competing chipset with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 on the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro.

Besides the high refresh rate displays, all three devices will come with large battery capacities and support for fast-charging. There's also water-resistance and in-display fingerprint sensors. Most of these are common features in devices of this range these days, but it's still great to see them included. As usual, note that we can't confirm if any of this is true until we see an official source.

What are your thoughts of the three devices revealed? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more potential news on the OnePlus 8.


Full specs of Snapdragon 865-powered vivo V1950A device revealed

Leaks and rumours are exciting for many, partly because it keeps you guessing if the info is real. For example, we previously thought that the vivo device bearing the model number V1950A could possibly be a new NEX 4 that is powered by Snapdragon 865. But a TENAA listing showing the full specs may be indicating otherwise.

The vivo V1950A is powered by an octa-core CPU with a clock speed of 2.84 GHz, 8GB of RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB of internal storage with no microSD card support. It's also expected to run on Android 10 instead of Android 9. If you check the tech specs for the vivo NEX 3 5G, you'll notice that it shares many of the same specs.

A screenshot from the TENAA listing shows a device that looks like the vivo NEX 3 5G

Besides that, this variant will be gold in colour and features a seemingly downgraded 4250 mAh battery that supports 44W fast-charging. From the specs and features listed, it's reasonable enough to speculate that this is not exactly a new model, but rather a variant of the NEX 3 5G that's powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 855.

While the images for the TENAA listing seems to confirm this, there's no official announcement from vivo yet, so we don't actually know what this device is. But what do you think? Is this a brand new model or an upgrade of an existing one? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news.


A new change to be expected from Android 11

When Android 10 was launched this year, it was the first time Google decided not to use any dessert name. Recently, the company is planning another major change for Android 11 as well. After many years, the next Android OS is finally going to let us record videos that go beyond 4GB.

As an Android user, you might have realized the long videos you recorded on your phone were separated into different files stored in your Gallery. It is because Android has a 4GB limitation for a single video file, so if you keep recording, the system will automatically split the rest of the video into multiple files.

With Android 11, this should not be a problem anymore. As new smartphones are able to record 4K videos that take up a lot of storage, this is the time for Google to remove the limitation. We already have 4K recording, but we are also expecting 8K video recording capabilities to be in smartphones in the future. Therefore, it makes no sense to keep that 4GB limitation in the future generations of the operating system.

Let us know what you think about this limitation on our Facebook page! Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech news.

Camera-wise, the phone will have a 12MP + 12MP + 8MP, while the front will come equipped with a 32MP selfie camera.

As for the colours, it will be available in white, blue, orange, lavender, green, and red.

Full tech specs and photos of the Huawei P40 series leaked before the launch tomorrow

Day by day, it seems there isn't a break from the Huawei P40 series rumours. With just a day left until the live stream event, someone managed to get their hands on the full tech specs details and posted them online. Without further ado, let's check what the new Huawei flagships have in store for us.

The P40 also has a similar setup except that its ultrawide lens is just 16MP and uses an 8MP telephoto lens. Then for the front camera, both phones are housing a 32MP (f/2.2) sensor with an infrared sensor.

Moving on, the P40 Pro and P40 phone are carrying a 4200mAh and 3800mAh battery respectively. Both phones are relatively quite large, the P40 is using a 6.1-inch OLED display, whereas the P40 Pro has a 6.58-inch OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate. Of course, the P40 Pro has a bigger memory storage as well with up to 256GB (nano memory card support).

Besides that, the Kirin 990 chipset is expected on both devices, running on 8GB of RAM and having 128GB internal storage as the starting baseline. Huawei Mobile Services will definitely be present too.

We won't be surprised if most - not all - of these tech specs turn out to be correct. But what do you folks think? Let us know at our Facebook page and stay tuned for our Huawei P40 series news coverage tomorrow night, only at TechNave.com.

With all that said, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Samsung has yet to provide an official statement on the leak. Not only that, but there’s also no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs for now.

Would you be interested in getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 as soon as it is available in the local market? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.

In a market as ultra-competitive as smartphones, brands come up with all sorts of ways to one-up each other. For Samsung, it's been confirmed that the Galaxy S21 series will be launching much earlier this time. That's why it's not a surprise that full tech specs are being leaked already.

That's right, WinFuture claims that it has managed to obtain all the info for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

A new "close-up zoom" mode by Samsung is rolling out to fix the close-up focus issue

As most of you should already know, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra features the longest zoom-in capability up to 100x digital zoom. On paper, that's pretty amazing but when it comes to practical usage, we don't really see much practical usage. Not only that but it also indirectly brought a problem of focusing objects at close-up shots.

According to many users experience, the Samsung flagship has some trouble focusing properly when doing close-up shots due to the usage of the longer focal length. We have read that software updates will solve it from time to time but until now, the problem still persists. However, it seems that the company have finally come up with a solution - they will introduce a 1.5x "close-up zoom" mode to get around this.

Reports say that with the new update, users should encounter a close-up zoom toggle switch when trying to take a close-up shot. All the user has to do is press the toggle switch and then the close-up zoom will be set to 1.5x. The camera software will also ask the user to move a bit further in order to successfully focus on the close-up object in close range.

The software update should be rolling out now for the Galaxy S20 Ultra now so be patient for the over-the-air update. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Full vivo V9 model shot leaked online

So you probably already know, vivo is going all-out on their V9 smartphone by going Fullview with a top-notch design. They have teased us with the official images and thanks to Mr Anonymous, we got a first-hand look at how the model looks like. Check out the pictures below.

At first glance, the V9 looks quite beautiful and large as well. Its dual rear camera is positioned horizontally, there lies the fingerprint sensor too which means vivo won't be integrating the under-display fingerprint technology. We will be getting a triple SIM card tray as well, seeing that there's a dedicated microSD slot on the very left side of the tray, followed by two nano SIM slots.

On the front, it's hard to see the top-notch but on a closer investigation, the notch does look smaller than the iPhone X's model. It seems quite impressive considering the fact that they manage to fit in a 24MP front camera in there, which is a confirmed specification. Other than that, rumours have it that the phone will carry a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset.

The bottom and side view, seems that it's still using a microUSB port

Future Apple Watch could detect your hydration level through sweat

If you've ever wondered how Apple Watch can top itself with more advanced features, the answer might have been revealed through one of the patents filed by the tech giant. According to the source, future Apple Watches could detect your hydration level based on your sweat, and it sounds like a cool feature for smartwatches to have!

The patent spotted by Patently Apple reveals that the company could be working on a non-invasive hydration tracking sensor that’ll monitor the electrolytes in a user's perspiration using electrodes. Through the sensor, the watch will be able to calculate the user's hydration level based on the concentration of these electrolytes in the sweat.

After introducing the ECG sensor with the Watch Series 4, the company had not presented any other significant sensors for later generations. However, it's mentioned that it's unlikely that this hydration tracking sensor will appear with the upcoming Apple Watch Series 7. Therefore, it might be a technology that is reserved for a future model.

A new console is currently in the works called 'Mad Box' and should be out in 3.5 years

Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft better watch out as there may be a new contender in the console field. Slightly Mad Studios, the company behind the games Project CARS 2 and Need for Speed: Shift, is currently working on a new console named “Mad Box” and it is expected to be out in 3.5 years’ time.

Ian Bell, CEO of Slightly Mad Studios in London tweeted out that the Mad Box will be able to run games in 4K and pump out 90FPS for each eye, with a total of 180FPS internally, in VR. He also mentioned in the tweet that developers will be able to use their full engine for free to develop their games. So far they have no plans on paying developers incentives to make games exclusively on their consoles as to not exclude other hardware vendors.

What is the Mad Box? It's the most powerful console ever built... It's literally 'Mad'... You want 4k, you want VR at 60FPS? You want a full engine for free to develop your games on it? You have it.

We're going 90 per eye, 180 FPS internally. My CTO has just called me and confirmed that's what we'll deliver.

So far here’s a few designs their team has come up with and we’re not a big fan of them. The initial designs look like a PC tower with a very obnoxious and loud design. Some Twitter users went as far as to call the console a place to hold their bowling balls. The next few designs are a lot easier on the eye but they are nothing earth shattering. The only tech specs we know of is that it will be as powerful as a ‘very fast PC 2 years from now’.

The original design of the console which we honestly wouldn't want in our living rooms

A cooler version of the Mad Box is literally a box

A standard console design inspired by the Project CARS 2 logo

When Twitter users inquired about exclusive titles, he replied that their objective is to be inclusive to the gaming community so there will be no exclusives on their console. Games developed on their free platform will be able to be ported to other consoles with a mere push of a button, Bell claims. It will also support major VR headsets which points out that the console may not be having a VR set of its own. They also plan on having a subscription based online service which can be used for players to connect with other players as well as play games on cross-platform. In addition, they are interested in adding an esports based functionality to their system as well by making it easy to sync and easy to transport around.

We'll protect as do other consoles. The business model is based on a more 'open source easy access' model where all developers can create games, using free technology, that we provide, with the console providing next gen VR out of the box and built in esports functionality.

We already supply the best esports tech in the racing genre used by people like ESL right now. We want the Mad Box to be totally esports friendly and you can carry any amount of them to a venue and they auto synch and off you go.

In terms of pricing, Ian Bell mentions that it will be competitive with other console prices in the future. The price will be a little pricey in the beginning and will drop as more units ship out. The console will be available worldwide. Besides that, the company is currently looking for someone to help come up with a catchy slogan for the device with promise that they will be getting paid USD$10000 with free games for life.

The best slogan gets 10K and free games for life. Hit me.

Honestly, it would be very hard to sell their consoles with no exclusive titles and it would be hard to keep prices down with the promise of being able to run games in not only 4K but 180FPS internally for VR. However, tech does get cheaper in time so it might be possible for them to keep their word. Do you think that this console will be a win?

Based on a statement by androidheadlines.com it seems that future Huawei smartphone could come equipped with a rather large lens at the rear which could drastically improve the picture quality of the pictures taken. Even though the patent showed pictures of how the lens could potentially look like, there is still no official information on the exact tech spec of the camera system for now.

Future MacBook Pro models could have faster charging via MagSafe

The year may have just started, but people are already speculating about this year's MacBook Pro models. Last year, it was rumoured Apple would launch new models this year with a mini-LED display. Now, there's a report suggesting that the new models will also have faster-charging speed via MagSafe.

As revealed in another recent leak, Apple now has a patent for wireless charging pad inside the MacBook. This is basically the same concept as the MagSafe charger that was launched last year. But according to Bloomberg (via Wccftech), the MagSafe technology could be used to allow for the MacBook Pro itself, rather than for other devices. But unlike the smaller MagSafe charger, this version is expected to deliver faster-charging speeds.

Will it be a wireless or wired MagSafe implementation?

From the description, this could be a large charging pad for Apple's premium laptop. Of course, there's also the possibility that this would be similar to the old MagSafe implementation from way back. Either way, Apple would be able to sell an additional accessory to its customers. In other news, it was also recently rumoured that this year's MacBook Pro models will feature a new design, but may also not have the touch bar anymore.

A large MagSafe charger for the MacBook Pro sounds weird, but Apple could really do it in its seeming quest to remove all cables and ports from its products. What do you think about this? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

However, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that OPPO has yet to provide an official statement on the leaked statement.

A new dating site has just been released for men with small penises

As the sad joke goes - men with small dicks don't really get a lot of rep. However, that could change now with Dinky One, a relatively new matchmaking platform for these men to find love online. Can it really work? It's bizarre, but here's what the founder of the website, David Minns told the NewYorkPost.com.

According to David, it seems that only men with a 5.5-inch penis are allowed to join the new dating website (wait...how do they even qualify a guy for that? Do they have to send dick pics? Asking a serious question here). In fact, Dinky Ones proudly market their page that “100% of the men on this site are less than average.” and currently, they have over 27,000 members. As you would expect, the majority of them are males (71%) while the rest goes to female (27%) and transgender (2%).

By the way, here are some testimonies found on the website:

“When you’re a smaller man dating is very complicated, it’s therefore far better to date online with strangers and even better on a dedicated site such as Dinky One as everyone knows in advance.” says the 36 years old anonymous member.

“I find sex painful with a man bigger than four inches and in the past have had to resort to oral but miss that close intimacy of sex,” says the 28-year-old woman.

Furthermore, David said “Smaller guys can use the site privately and date outside of their usual network. Everyone understands the situation in advance, allowing couples to focus on getting to know each other and dating.”

At the moment, there is no mobile app version for it yet (the photo above is using a web browser). Dinky Ones also prohibits nude images and doesn't require members to add photos as well. Members can also have an anonymous profile for as long as they give a legit email.

So what do you think? Maybe it could even work for men in the east too *cough*. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

While not much is known in regards to the exact release date of the smartphone in question, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from Xiaomi in the future.

To go into more detail, it seems that the under-display flip camera lets the user take regular pictures or selfies using the same camera sensor by flipping it 180 degrees. With that being said, this could be the first smartphone in the market to come with a flippable camera as well as an IP68 rating.

However, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Xiaomi has yet to provide an official statement on the leaked info. Not only that, but there’s also no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs for now.

Future Xiaomi smartphone could have a moving camera module

Smartphones' cameras are getting more advanced with new design and technology to achieve perfect photography actions. Back in a while, smartphones came with a camera that didn't pack features like wide-angle, portrait, or even the newcomer, macro lens. Now, we think only a few can tell the differences between photographs that are taken by a smartphone or a professional camera. With that said, Xiaomi is preparing to take it to the next level by offering moveable camera.

It looks like Xiaomi is preparing to solve the distortion issues caused by the wide-angle lens with this new camera technology. The company has filed a patent that reveals two low-angle cameras that can move outwards in sync with each other. With the technology, it can greatly expand the effective range of viewing angles and allow users to take high-quality wide-angle pictures without any distortion. It is mentioned that the cameras can be placed vertically as well.

The patent of the moveable camera was filed by Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in October 2019. On 30 July, the patent was approved and also published in the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) database. Therefore, there could be a chance that we'll see this on a future Xiaomi smartphone soon.
