Xiaomi Mi 10T series price tags leaked online, could start from ~RM1460

Note - That's the Xiaomi Mi 9T in the image for illustration purpose. Also, we miss you, Tash :(

The Xiaomi Mi 10T series is getting closer and will be revealed in a global livestream tomorrow. We have also gotten ourselves plenty of tech specs rumours here and there but so far nothing about the prices until now. Thanks to online tipsters, @Sudhanshu1414 just tweeted the estimated prices for the Mi 10T Lite 5G, Mi 10T 5G and the Mi 10T Pro 5G from the global launch.

According to the leak, it seems that there could be a total of five memory variants. Starting with the Mi 10T Lite, it could start from €300 (~RM1460) and €350 (~RM1704) for the 6GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB model respectively. Then for the Mi 10T Pro, there might be two variants too for €550 (~RM2678) and €600 (~RM2921) as well for the 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB respectively. Finally, the Mi 10T (8GB + 128GB)'s price tag might perhaps be €500 (~RM2434).

Looking at the price tags, it came to our attention that both the Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro are sharing the same 8GB + 128GB variant. With the difference of €50, we wonder what other tech specs or features could be different between the two. Besides the memory option, other possibilities include the rear camera module which was leaked yesterday. The Mi 10T is said to feature a 64MP main rear camera, whereas the latter could pack a 108MP main rear camera. You can read the rest of the tech specs leak here.

Apple iPhone 14 to use 4nm chip but iPad Pro getting 3nm M2 instead in 2022

There is a high chance that the iPhone 14 series will use a 4nm chip, as Apple will use an advanced 5nm process for the upcoming A15 Bionic chip this year. However, it looks like the company will be going few steps forward for the iPads as it is reported that 2022 iPad Pro will come with a 3nm chip.

According to Nikkei Asia, the next major M-series chip release will be based on the more advanced 3nm node, and it's expected to be the M2 chip. Insiders are also saying that the first devices with 3nm chips to enter the market will probably be iPads. It is worth mentioning that Apple is launching a new M1X chip as well this year but it's still based on the 5nm process.

Back to the 4nm A16 Bionic chip, it is said that Apple won't be the first one to make 4nm chips commercially available as MediaTek is aiming to be the first one to do it. Currently, TSMC has managed to finish the development of the 4nm process ahead of schedule. Therefore, MediaTek will have to start working hard now for its 4nm chipset to be released at the end of this year or in early 2022.

Apple iPhone 15 series to feature titanium chassis and curved rear edges

We've heard a few rumours regarding the Apple iPhone 15 series. Now, a new one has come, saying that the iPhone 15 would feature a titanium chassis and sport a new rounded border design with curved rear edges, as per tipster ShrimpApplePro.

A titanium iPhone is not a new one. Before the release of the iPhone 14 series, it was suggested that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max would come with a titanium alloy chassis. However, it did not happen. Subsequently, the feature is now expected to appear on the iPhone 15 series. Compared to stainless steel, titanium is more resistant to scratches. Apple has also recently investigated the viability of titanium casings for its products, which include patents related to the use of processed titanium with unique properties for future MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones.

Besides that, the new border design could be similar to the bottom edges on the case of Apple's latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. The current generation of iPhones uses a flat-sided design with a squared-off border. However, according to the tipster, the iPhone 15 would still have a back glass, despite switching to titanium chassis and the new border design.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro could have camera with 120x zoom

Some say that the Mi 11 Pro will also use a triple-camera setup, some say quad-camera

Last year, Xiaomi became the first to launch a new flagship with the Snapdragon 888 chipset. Only the Mi 11 was launched at the time, but there have been many rumours on the Mi 11 Pro lately. One of them showed an image of the back of the phone with a quad-camera setup, which could come with a super long zoom.

According to Digital Chat Station (via MyDrivers), the rear of the Mi 11 Pro would have a 2+1 setup that does not match up to the expected camera module specs. This is probably referring to the previously leaked photo, which shows that the phone would have a quad-rear camera setup. Anyway, the one camera at the bottom is expected to be a telephoto or periscope camera, which is capable of 120x zoom.

Besides the rear cameras, the Mi 11 Pro should come with similar specs to the Mi 11. This includes the 6.81-inch display with 120Hz refresh rate, stereo speakers, and an under-display fingerprint sensor. It's also expected to have 80W fast-charging, up to 512GB of internal storage, and possibly a larger battery (versus 4600mAh).

The source has mostly been accurate with his leaks, but it's best not to take this rumour at face value for now. Having said that, what other improvements does the Mi 11 Pro need to make it different from the standard variant? Share your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates.


Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro to come with a different camera module that has an extra periscope camera

After launching the Xiaomi Mi 11 as the first smartphone to enter the market with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, the Chinese tech giant is expected to present the Pro variant in February this year. Earlier, a rumour has suggested that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro will have an improved display and better fast charging. Today, a poster posted on Weibo has revealed that the Mi 11 Pro will have a different camera module compared to the vanilla Mi 11.

To recap, the Xiaomi Mi 11 comes with a triple camera setup that consists of a 108MP main sensor, accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide angle sensor and a 5MP macro shooter. For the Mi 11 Pro, it is rumoured to bring an extra periscope camera that provides up to 120x zoom. It is said that a similar combination was used in last year’s Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra.

Furthermore, the latest source has also mentioned that the Mi 11 Pro will have absolutely the same display as the standard variant, which contradicts the last rumour. For now, these are the only differences that we know between the devices. We could only wait until then to find out about other upgrades that Xiaomi will introduce on the Mi 11 Pro.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro will launch in February 2021, comes with improved display

When brands launch smartphones these days, it's usually an entire series of new devices. So some were surprised to see only one new Mi 11 series device launched two days ago. But Xiaomi has not forgotten about the Mi 11 Pro, with sources claiming that the launch window has been confirmed.

According to Digital Chat Station (via playfuldroid), the Mi 11 Pro was never meant to launch with the Mi 11 anyway. He hinted that the Pro variant would only be available after the Lunar Chinese New Year, which will be from 12 to 26 February 2021. If that's the case, the Mi 11 Pro may only launch at the end of February or early March.

But what's going to be different in the Pro variant? Allegedly, the main differences include an improved display (likely in size and resolution) and better fast-charging. The phone is also expected to come with an under-display front camera. Speaking of cameras, the Mi 11 Pro should have the same triple rear camera setup with 108MP main camera.

Considering the timing, Xiaomi could be saving this phone for MWC 2021. In our opinion, it doesn't feel like there's much (based on current rumours) that makes it stand out over the standard variant though. But what do you think? Would you rather wait for the Mi 11 Pro or just get the Mi 11? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more news.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra leaked, set to feature 120x zoom camera

Leaks can sometimes can from unexpected sources. That was the case for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, which was revealed in a leak via video by a YouTuber from the Philippines. He not only revealed the phone's design but also some of its specs.

According to XDA Developers, a video by Tech Buff PH unveiled the device's triple-camera setup. Specifically, it has a 50MP main camera, a 48MP wide-angle camera, and a 48MP periscope camera. As for the front camera, it's a 20MP sensor with a punch-hole cutout. What's interesting here is the periscope camera, which delivers the same 120x digital zoom that the Mi 10 Ultra has.

The mini display feels more like a gimmick than something useful...

The back is also home to a unique but unusual mini secondary screen. Allegedly, its purpose could be for users to frame their shots when using the rear camera for selfies. Besides that, the phone is expected to come with the Snapdragon 888 chipset, a 5000mAh battery, 67W fast-charging, and more.

Apple iPhone 3GS Malaysia Reviews

It’s been awhile since the iPhone 3GS was released and at the time many people thought that it was somewhat of a low-key upgrade from the iPhone 3G, certainly it was more of an evolution than a revolution.

Everything that runs on the iPhone 3GS can run on the iPhone 3G, but the 3GS is significantly faster. I was skeptical when Apple decided to concentrate on speed rather than introduce new features to the previous iPhone.When looking at the specs, the CPU in the 3GS is clocked at 600MHz, compared to 400MHz on the previous generation. As well as this, you’ll be getting 256MB RAM compared to 128MB in the 3G. When you’re using the 3GS it feels a lot more responsive, and the speed at which applications load is staggeringly quick compared to what you’d get on the older generation.iPhone 3GS - Battery:

A surprising feature of the 3GS is increased battery life, despite a higher clock speed in the device. Battery life is always a concern in smartphones, with most lasting no more than a few hours of intensive use, but the average user will be able to get a full days charge with the new improvements to battery life.iPhone 3GS - Camera:

The camera in the iPhone has always been pretty shocking, as with many other phones in the market. I could never use the iPhone’s camera as my main point-and-shoot, but you’ll find a 3MP camera in the 3GS, which also boasts video recording and auto focusing for when taking still shots.You’ll be surprised how much this will increase the quality of your shots over previous generations, especially when used with the new auto exposure and auto white-balance features. You’ll be impressed with the quality for a mobile device, although it simply can’t compete with dedicated recorders. Still, it’s a nice feature to have, and you can tap the screen when recording to focus your videos. Summary:

If you’re a current iPhone user with either the original generation or the 3G model, you’ll definitely notice a speed increase which is always nice, but depending on your budget, you may not want to shell out for what’s essentially the same iPhone with a few tweaks.


Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra to feature ISOCELL GN2 image sensor

A few days ago, we got to see a replica camera casing of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Obviously, it's unknown if the news is accurate, but the device may be launching soon. There are even sources that have claimed to know what image sensor would be used.

Last month, it was rumoured that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra will come with Samsung's ISOCELL GN2 image sensor. Now, Ice Universe has claimed that it'll be the largest image sensor for 2021 and that the device would launch at the end of March 2021. Earlier this month, Samsung even dropped some details on how its ISOCELL 2.0 would be improved.

Samsung ISOCELL GN2 will be the largest mobile phone sensor in 2021, which will bring an unprecedented experience, waiting for the Xiaomi phone at the end of the month.

But what's going to be most impressive about the ISOCELL GN2 is its massive pixel count. Previous rumours suggest that Samsung will have a 150MP and 200MP image sensor. If that's the case, the 150MP sensor could be featured on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra as rumoured, perhaps as the periscope camera.

Considering the timing of Samsung's announcement and this rumour, the launch date could indeed be closer than we think. Are you excited to see a 150MP (or 200MP) camera in action? Share your thoughts in the comments below! Also, stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about this.

Apple iPhone 4 Malaysia Review

The fourth iteration of the iPhone is certainly the most controversial handset so far. Hardware leaks, suicides and police raids have all formed part of this smartphone's turbulent journey to market.

The first thing you'll notice when holding the iPhone 4 is just how incredible the build quality is. It feel incredibly pleasing in the hand and actually, make the 3GS feel, well, a bit chubby and cheap. The front and back are black glass with a brushed steel band running round the phone. iPhone 4 - Software:

Apple's iPhone 4 ships running iOS4 which makes sense if you think about it, and while Apple's latest operating system has some significant developments on 3.0 there are still some niggling issues that make it, well, not all that it could be.Unfortunately there's still some stuff missing, chief among them -- glancable information. The widget system, on which Android is based, and which makes it such an appealing option to hardcore techies and it's a crying shame that is doesn't make an appearance in some form on iOS 4.iPhone 4 - Screen:

You'll have heard a lot about Apple's highly lauded retina display. It's got four times as many pixels as the 3GS's screen and 78% of the pixels of the iPad.Video looks superb on it too and Apple's A4 processor could handle most anything we threw at it. The blacks are superbly deep and the colours are vibrant.

The original iPhone camera was a duffer, the second one was a duffer, the third one was better, but it was still a bit of a duffer. This one is good. Not incredible, but good, very good -- owing to its 5 megapixels and backlit sensor.Apple have characteristically held back with the stock camera app -- there's no pre-set japery or filters. It's photo, video, zoom and that's it.iPhone 4 - Performance:

Remember lag? Yeah. When you opened an app and for a while nothing happened, things "loaded". After 10 minutes using this phone you'll have forgotten what that was like because it just doesn't happen. It doesn't matter how many apps you flick between, how many apps you've got running, they all just work straight away.Throw super high quality video at it, ipod, streaming -- anything. It just works.Conclusion:

There is no other way to say it: The iPhone 4 is the best smartphone on the market. Backed-up by the now established app store, there isn't a smartphone currently available that can compete with it.

Xiaomi Mi 11 will be the first to come with Corning Gorilla Glass 7

When you think there wouldn't be any more surprising rumours dropping before the imminent Xiaomi Mi 11's launch, think twice. Today, the brand has announced that the upcoming flagship will be the first Chinese phone to come with Corning Gorilla Glass 7. With that said, the first smartphone that is being launched with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is now having another "first" (Mindblown!).

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that the Mi 11 will use Corning’s new-generation Gorilla Glass named after Victus. Victus in Latin means face the challenge and keep going. It is said that this glass can withstand an applied load of over 100kg while others fail at less than 20kg. Lei Jun has also added that the glass has 2x the scratch resistance, and 1.5x the drop resistance performance compared to the previous generation.

Furthermore, the CEO has mentioned that the company has invested a huge amount of money customizing the screen. He said that this is by far the top screen ever made for the Mi series, and also the most expensive screen in the industry. Is he hinting that the Xiaomi Mi 11 will be more expensive than ever?

Xiaomi Mi 11 will come with computational photography technology for better low-light camera performance

It's just a few days to go for us to witness the arrival of the Xiaomi Mi 11 series that is going to be the first in the world to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. Before the launch happens on 28 December, Xiaomi might have already been impatient and keep sharing more details of the smartphones on the Internet. After posting up the official Geekbench test results of the device, the company now hints at the camera will bring great low-light performance.

An official teaser poster has revealed that the upcoming series will support computational photography. It is said to be a processing technique that uses digital computation instead of optical processes. With that said, the Xiaomi Mi 11 can capture details that are not visible to human eyes and create a new visual image with the use of artificial intelligence. The poster uses a night sky as an example.

Besides the poster, a video taken with the Xiaomi Mi 11 has also been shared showcasing the device's low-light performance. It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi is not the first to use this technique to improve the camera. Smartphone manufacturers like Google and Apple have also relied on this for their camera modes like Night Sight and Night Mode respectively.

Xiaomi Mi 11T series comes with 120Hz OLED display and up to 120W rapid charging?

Last week we reported on some tech specs leaks for the Xiaomi Mi 11T which will be launching on September 23. Today, we got new information on the key specification shared by a tipster on Weibo for both Xiaomi Mi 11T and Xiaomi Mi 11T Pro.

According to the leakster, the Xiaomi Mi 11T will come with a 120Hz display and equipped with the Dimensity 1200 chipset while sporting a 64MP main snapper on the rear.

Compared to last year’s Mi 10T series, the refresh rate has been downgraded from 144Hz to 120Hz this time.

The Xiaomi Mi 10T was rebranded as the Redmi K30S when it launched in China last year, so we assume that the company will also do the same move towards the Xiaomi Mi 11T for the China market. As for the Xiaomi Mi 11T Duo, there’s no information on it yet but we surely will be seeing more information coming out soon.

As of now, there is still no confirmation on the official tech specs yet, so do take this with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more tech news updates on TechNave.com

Xiaomi Mi 11T to come with MediaTek chipset and triple rear camera with up to a 64MP sensor?

Based on a report by androidauthority, it seems like the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11T smartphone could come equipped with a MediaTek chipset, as well as a triple rear camera setup with up to a 64MP sensor. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the local market.

Apple iPhone 4S 8GB now going for RM1499

As mentioned in our previous reports, the Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C have arrived and instead of shuffling back the iPhone 5, it has been discontinued entirely.

For more information check out the Apple iPhone 4S site.


Xiaomi Mi 11X tipped to launch with SD 870 chipset and an E4 AMOLED screen

Xiaomi is not yet done with the Mi 11 series after serving the Mi 11 as the 'appetizer' with Mi 11 Lite, Mi 11 Pro, and Mi 11 Ultra as the 'main course'. Now, the 'dessert' is on the way as the Mi 11X and Mi 11X Pro are soon to be launched in India.

Xiaomi Mi 12 could launch in November instead, without MIUI 13

After the Mix 4, most Xiaomi fans must have moved their focus onto the upcoming Mi 12 series. Following the Mi 11's launch schedule, the Mi 12 should come by the end of the year. Earlier, it was reported that the device would be presented during mid-December, but the latest speculation is saying that it will arrive in November instead.

Other than a November launch window, it's also known that the Mi 12 will be the first to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 processor. However, it's said that the device won't be getting the latest operating system update, which is MIUI 13. Therefore, the Mi 12 will probably use the MIUI 12.5 enhanced version. For now, it's best to take this new information with a pinch of salt.

Other than that, previous rumours suggested that the Mi 12 could also use an LTPO adaptive refresh rate screen, with the ability to adjust the refresh rate automatically based on the content. It's also said it would come with 100W wired charging, but less than 50W for wireless charging due to China's policy change.

Are you excited to see the Mi 12? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more smartphone reports.


Xiaomi Mi 12 is likely to debut in mid-December with Snapdragon 898

The Xiaomi Mi 11 was the first to debut with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. For the next flagship successor Snapdragon 898, Xiaomi also intends to be the first by launching smartphones with it. According to the latest report, the Xiaomi Mi 12 is arriving in mid-December. Therefore, Xiaomi will certainly become the first again to use Qualcomm's latest processor.

The upcoming Snapdragon 898 is said to be a 4nm chipset. Before its release, the processor's benchmark has already shown that it's powerful, with an impressive 20% performance boost compared to the previous Snapdragon 888. However, Qualcomm might have ignored the thermal performance as it's said that the new chip can get hot. Therefore, we can't wait to see how Xiaomi deals with this on its Mi 12 devices.

For the Xiaomi Mi 12, it's expected to come with an LTPO adaptive refresh rate screen. With it, the device will support an adaptive refresh rate adjustment function between 1 to 120Hz. It could also show up with support for 120W wired fast charging and 100W wireless charging. Due to China's latest wireless charging policy, Xiaomi might have to tone the 100W to anything less than 50W.

Xiaomi Mi 12 reported to feature LPDDR5X RAM alongside Snapdragon 898 processor

The Xiaomi Mi 12 is reported to be among the first smartphones to use a new RAM technology when it gets released. According to the source, the flagship smartphone could feature the latest LPDDR5X RAM unveiled by JEDEC yesterday, accompanied by the unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 processor.

The LPDDR5X is double what the LPDDR4X can do by pushing the maximum data rate from 6,400 Mbps of the vanilla LPDDR5 to 8,533 Mbps. It is expected that the upcoming Snapdragon will support the X version of the RAM as the current Qualcomm chipsets only support the standard LPDDR5.

Besides supporting a new RAM technology, the Snapdragon 898 is also said to be based on the new ARMv9 architecture using the brand new Cortex-X2, A710 and A510 CPU cores. With such a processor, the Xiaomi Mi 12 is on the road to being a flagship king of 2022, alongside other rumoured features like a 200MP camera and 200W wired fast charging.

Xiaomi Mi 12 to have a 200MP camera, coming by the end of 2021

The next Xiaomi Mi flagship series is expected to arrive with Qualcomm's unannounced 4nm Snapdragon 895 chipset and a bunch of other exciting tech specs. Today, reputable tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the Mi 12 will arrive by the end of the year, with an impressive camera feature.

The Mi 12 with model number 2112123AC is suggested to feature a display that supports LTPO technology which allows the device to adjust refresh rate depending on the content. Not only that, but it is also said to support up to 120W for wired charging and up to 100W wirelessly. However, that might be the case for the global variant as the Chinese variant will support up to only 50W for wireless charging due to the country's regulations.

Furthermore, it is speculated the device will be the first to bring a 200MP camera sensor with a 1-inch optical format to the market. The sensor is said to implement pixel binning technology when 16 neighbouring pixels are combined into one large for greater light capture. With all the mentioned tech specs, the Mi 12 is undoubtedly going to be the ultimate flagship device.

Xiaomi Mi 3 and Mi Power Bank sold out for Malaysia in 17 minutes

Xiaomi Malaysia recently posted that they have sold out their first batch of Xiaomi Mi 3 smartphones and Xiaomi Mi Power Bank in just 17 minutes. While it isn't as fast as Singapore (2 minutes) and China (under 10 minutes), it is probably the fastest time any smartphone seller has managed to sell out their first batch here in Malaysia. While it is understandable due to the limited 4000 units of Mi 3 smartphones and 5000 units of Mi Power Banks, it does set the bar for other online sellers here in Malaysia. That being said, we also hope that all the shipping is done on a timely basis as there have been previous cases of other online sellers selling out quickly but taking forever to ship out products before. As we've said previously, Xiaomi Malaysia will likely bring in more units soon. If you want it that bad, it should definitely be worth waiting for.[Source]


Xiaomi Mi 4 and Mi Band officially launched

Xiaomi recently made their latest flagship smartphone, the Mi 4 officialy with a launching in Beijing yesterday. The smartphone may not have a metal backside but it does offer a tough stainless steel frame and very flat and thin Apple iPhone like design. The more notable tech specs for the Xiaomi Mi 4 include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, 4G LTE and the new Sony MIX214 camera sensor for the 13MP rear camera. What is even more jaw-dropping is that it is priced at just RMB1999 (RM1099) for the 16GB version and RM2499 (RM1299) for the 64GB version. Check out the full Xiaomi Mi 4 tech specs below:

Check out "the journey of piece of steel metal" in this Xiaomi Mi 4 design video

The Xiaomi Mi 4 is IP67 certified for water resistance and now can also work with your wet fingers

The Xiaomi Mi 4 packs in an 8MP front camera for the selfie crowd

These tech specs reveal the larger water proof Apple iPhone running on Android that Apple will never make while the price should be shake things up even more, here in Malaysia. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but we're thinking probably RM1089 for the 16GB version and RM1289 for the 32GB version. In related news, Xiaomi also revealed their Mi Band fitness tracker for an awesome RMB79 (RM49). Features for the Mi Band include the ability to track fitness and sleep, unlock your Mi Phone wirelessly and have a standby time of 30 days. The wearable is also water resistant and comes in various colours including leather. Again, no specific Malaysia release dates yet but we expect it to reach Malaysia very soon.


Xiaomi Mi 4 benchmark + camera samples appear

Nearly everyone is interested in the Xiaomi Mi 4 with one of the biggest question on everyone's lips being how does it perform (although here in Malaysia the biggest would be how much)? Well, the folks at MyDrivers has obliged with an AnTuTu score, camera samples and screenshots. We're quite happy to tell you that the Xiaomi Mi 4 scored 37156 on AnTuTu, which is quite high for a smartphone. For a comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S5 usually gets around 35000+. Xiaomi Malaysia still haven't revealed any specific Malaysia release dates or pricing but the current pricing is RMB 1999 (RM1099) for the 16GB version and RMB 2499 (RM1299) for the 64GB version.


Xiaomi Mi 4 now available in Malaysia for RM1199

Malaysia is finally getting the Xiaomi Mi 4 for RM1199. While it isn't available through the official online Mi Malaysia channel, local distributor Mont Asia is bringing in the 3G 16GB storage version for RM1199. It will be made available through roadshows and Mont Asia distribution channels soon and come with a 1 year limited warranty from Xiaomi Malaysia. Mont Asia can be contacted via Whatsapp at +6017-4590001. Tech specs for the Mi 4 are still quite high-end with a 2.5Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, 5 inch 1920 x 1080p display, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front shooter, an IR blaster and IP67 certification for water and dust resistance.


Xiaomi Mi-4 smartphone coming on 22 July 2014?

Xiaomi co-founder Bin Lin recently shared a big image of a 4 on his Facebook page along with the statement that they would tell the story about "The journey of a piece of steel metal". The image itself looks like that of brushed metal hinting that the Xiaomi Mi-4 could be coming with a metal chassis on 22 July 2014 which is the company's annual product launch event. While the teaser does not mention any tech specs or features it seems obvious that the Xiaomi Mi-4 would come with some hardware refreshes such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, 4G LTE or perhaps even a 2K 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution display. The real killer question will be how much it will cost when it does arrive in Malaysia, but we're thinking that it could be around the RM1K level if not RM998 outright. What do you think?[Source]


Apple iPhone 4S Malaysia Review

Apple introduced the iPhone 4S today (4-10-2011). The news was underwhelming and disappointing to many who were also expecting an iPhone 5. There's also the fact that the iPhone 4S looks almost identical to the iPhone 4. However, there's more than meets the eye, as Apple made a number of changes under the hood to improve on performance, including a faster processor, a more advanced camera, and a new antenna design. In addition, Apple expanded its family to include Sprint and a 64GB model.

The iPhone 4S features Apple's A5 dual-core 1GHz processor along with a dual-core GPU. Apple says the new chipset will make the iPhone 4S twice as fast and offer graphics performance that is seven times faster than the iPhone 4's. Despite the more powerful processor, the company claims the smartphone will be able to provide 8 hours of talk time over 3G, 14 hours over 2G, 6 hours of browsing over 3G, 9 hours via Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video playback, and 40 hours of music playback.

During our brief demonstration of the iPhone 4S, the handset did operate smoothly and speedily. We weren't able to test it against the iPhone 4 in a side-by-side comparison to notice exactly how much of a boost the new A5 chip offers, but a change for the better is definitely there.

The feature that Apple touted most during the event was the new voice assistant called Siri. It doesn't completely replace the current Voice Control feature, but it certainly does a whole lot more. Basically, Siri is designed to deliver information or follow commands that you give it. For example, you can check the weather, ask for a contact's address, set up a reminder, get directions, and ask for obscure trivia like the height of Mount Everest. You speak with a robotic female voice (you can't change her identity) and access the feature by holding down the Home button.Despite the omission, it's a fun and useful feature that we imagine many people will like. The challenge for Apple will be to fully integrate hands-free technology. You will be able to activate Siri with a Bluetooth headset (no word on if you can do it with a wired headset), but we understand that car integration is "coming." Given the abundance of hands-free driving laws, Apple will need to make Siri fully accessible to drivers while they keep both hands on the wheel. Siri will be in beta mode when it launches and will support English, French, and German. More languages will come later.

The iPhone 4's 5-megapixel camera was already great, but it's about to get better. The iPhone 4S has an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, f/2.4 aperture lens, and a backside-illuminated CMOS sensor that allows 73 percent more light than the previous sensor and should deliver better low-light performance. A hybrid IR filter is also onboard for better color accuracy. Apple also claims the new camera performs 33 percent faster than the iPhone 4's camera, and the A5 processor has a built-in image processor that adds face detection and 26 percent better auto white balance. Videos also get a boost with the ability to shoot 1080p HD video clips at 30 frames per second and with video stabilization.

As widely reported, the iPhone 4S is a dual-band world phone, meaning it supports both GSM and CDMA. What's yet to be determined is whether the carriers will unlock the preloaded SIM card, so users can swap it out for a prepaid international SIM card at their destination. We also don't know if the CDMA models will offer simultaneous voice and data over the CDMA network.Meanwhile, for GSM customers, the iPhone 4S now supports HSPA+ 14.4, so the smartphone is capable of reaching theoretical download speeds of 14.4Mbps down, 5.8Mbps up. It's certainly an improvement over the current model, but disappointing that there's no compatibility with the faster HSPA+ 21Mbps networks.

As we noted earlier, the iPhone 4S' design is nearly identical to the iPhone 4's. Aside from being 0.1 ounce heavier, the iPhone 4S is exactly the same size as its predecessor. It also features the same 3.5-inch, 960x640-pixel Retina Display with a glass back and front. One thing Apple did redesign, however, is the antenna system. The new design will hopefully prevent another Antennagate situation and Apple says to expect even better call quality.

The iPhone 4S will debut with all the features of iOS 5, which is Apple's latest version of its operating system. We tackle that analysis in our separate iOS 5 First Take, so be sure to check it out. In short, it's not a huge upgrade, but we welcome the new features like the advanced notifications and "PC Free."

The iPhone 4S looks the same as the iPhone 4, but it packs a speedier processor, a beefed-up camera and some new features. Overall, it's a minor upgrade to the iPhone 4, so will it be enough to keep Android at bay?

Xiaomi Mi 4i officially announced for about RM746

Xiaomi have officially announced their Mi 4i flagship smartphone, looking not unlike their original Mi 4, except that the metal frame has been replaced by an all plastic but definitely more colourful polycarbonate backside. It does update the processor to a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor (that supports 4G LTE) but the most notable feature could be the 3120 mAh battery which uses  4.4V 700Kh/L Polymer Cell technology to squeeze this capability into a smartphone of this size. At 7.8mm thin and 130g, the Mi 4i is quite compact and lightweight still with a 5-inch display featuring a 1920 x 1080 full HD pixel resolution. The Mi 4i packs in 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage along with 13MP rear camera (f/2.0 lens, dual tone flash) and 5MP front camera (f/1.8 lens). Granted, the metal frame may be missed somewhat but these tech specs are all going for just 12999 Indian Rupees (RM746) which is quite respectable indeed. No exact Malaysia release date yet but it is expected to come here to Malaysia sometime in May 2015.

Xiaomi Mi 5 advertisements defining speed

Xiaomi has been working hard to promote their next Mi 5 flagship lately, by releasing subsequent short advertisements of portraying the device being extremely fast. With Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB RAM inside the hood, the advertisements by Xiaomi is short, sweet and effective in passing the message of Mi 5's capability in speed.

The first teaser was showcasing a record holder, Xiaomi Lin Cen, who can do skipping rope 1096 times in just 3 minutes. Then the second teaser, showed us Asia's fastest speedcuber Jiayu Wang who finished the Rubik's Cube in just 7.03 seconds. So in other words, Xiaomi just wants to tell us the Mi 5 is as fast as the Flash from DC Comics.

In other news, we also got some updated speculated news of Xiaomi working on a notebook. It's been reported that there are two variants sized of 12.5-inch and 15.6-inch respectively. The smaller size will be designed to be ultra slim, and the latter is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M graphics card and Intel Core i7 processor coupled with 8GB of RAM for gaming purpose. We don't think the notebooks will make an appearance at MWC 2016 but who knows it could be a surprise.

Just less than a week until the Mi 5 makes its debut, are you excited? Stay tuned for Mi 5 news at Technave!


Xiaomi Mi 5 available in Malaysia for RM1549 from 18 June 2016

Initially announced in February, the Xiaomi Mi 5 will soon be available in Malaysia for RM1549 starting from 18 June 2016 (via distributor Thorus Technology). Featuring tech specs that include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB RAM, front fingerprint sensor, 16MP 4-axis OIS rear canera and a metal unibody frame with 3D glass back, the Mi 5 is still very relevant, especially for below RM1550. Check out the full tech specs below:

Other notable tech specs include a 4MP 2.0 micron front camera for an ultra-pixel like effect and while 32GB of storage is good, it appears to be the standard version and not the 4GB RAM / 128GB storage Pro version with ceramic exclusive back. Looking at the above tech specs and pricing we have to admit that the official Mi 5 pricing does sound tempting but with the [IMPORT] model coming in at RM1389, price might not be an issue.

Even third-party sellers like DirectD are offering the 64GB storage version at RM1699 but for latest prices do check out our Mi 5 tech specs link. The official version will no doubt offer better localization and warranty support but for some this may not be a plus point.
