Here's how Pokemon Home transfer and trading works on your smartphone and Nintendo Switch

Just a few hours ago, the Pokemon Company have shed some new details about Pokemon Home. It will be available very soon in February 2020 and as previously announced, Pokemon Home will allow you to transfer your beloved Pokemon between the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices! Here's everything you need to know.

For those who are not aware, Pokemon Home is a new cloud service designed to home every Pokemon between compatible games, trade and more. The compatible games are Pokemon Sword and Shield, the Let's Go series, as well as Pokemon Go in the future as well. Besides that, it will also support Pokemon Bank which is from the Nintendo 3DS which means you will be able to bring over your team which aren't available for the Galar region!

Keep in mind that any Pokemon transferred to the latest Pokemon Sword and Shield series cannot return to the original game again. This applies the same for Pokemon Bank transitioning into Pokemon Home. But as a gesture of goodwill, the Pokemon Company announced that they will make Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter available for free (1 month period) after Pokemon Home gets released.

As for trading, there are four ways to trade Pokemon in Pokemon Home - Wonder Box, GTS, Room Trade and Friend Trade. If you put a Pokemon in Wonder Box, it will be traded even if you're not using Pokemon Home. GTS allows you to specifically search for a Pokemon you want, whereas Room Trade allows you to create a room and trade Pokemon randomly among participants. Friend Trade is pretty straight forward so no explanation needed.

It's also worth noting that the Pokemon Home mobile app version works differently from the Switch version and it's very much like a Pokedex IRL. Besides being able to read many Pokedex entries, you can also check out each Pokemon Abilities and moves it can learn. Even Pokemon that Mega Evolve or Gigantamax will be registered in the National Pokedex.

Lastly, you can actually use Pokemon Home for free but for a serious Pokemon Trainer, going for the Premium Plan is necessary. You can just pay $2.99 (~RM12.20) for a month or up to $15.99 (~RM65.22) for a year which isn't so bad. There are a lot more details you can read from the official website here, so do check it out to get the bigger picture.

The SME subsidies are eligible for all companies that registered with the Companies Commission Malaysia (SSM) and Social Security Organization (Socso) before January 2020 and it will last for 3 months but with the condition that no workers be laid off for the next six months. Other than that, Muhyiddin also announced a special grant worth RM3,000 for micro-businesses that will cost RM2.1 billion, which is expected to benefit 700,000 micro-enterprises who registered with Inland Revenue Board, SSM, and local authorities.With that said, Malaysians are to be less burden in unemployment and financial support during this MCO period.

Here's how the Honor View 20's night mode could help you take a picture of the elusive dinosaur!

This time, Keegan heads out into the wild in search of the elusive dinosaur. Thanks to the Honor View 20’s Night mode, he is able to stay hidden in the dark while still be able to take clear pictures of it.

Here’s how the Huawei AppGallery compares to Google Play

Whenever you purchase a Huawei smartphone, it will always come with the Huawei AppGallery pre-installed which allows you to download apps specifically tailored to your Huawei device. But that’s not all, the AppGallery also comes with a wide selection of apps that are frequently used by Malaysians such as Lazada, dahmakan, banking apps and more.

With that said, I’m pretty sure many would wonder how does it compare to the Google Play store and the features Google has to offer. Let’s have a closer look at the Huawei AppGallery and determine what it does better than the Google Play store.

As you can see from the video above, not only does the Huawei AppGallery contain most of the frequently used apps by Malaysians, but it also comes with various functionalities and features that are better than what the Google Play has to offer. For example, the Huawei email app allows you to receive emails from various email domains so that you can access either your work or personal emails in a single app similar to Gmail.

You can get up to 50GB free storage for 12 months!

Furthermore, Huawei also has their own cloud storage solution called Huawei cloud, where you can store up to 50GB worth of data for free for a year as compared to Google’s 15GB cloud storage capacity. Not only that, but Huawei is also giving away a 3-month all-access pass to their video and music streaming services which are called Huawei Video and Huawei Music.

3-month free access to all your favourite shows and music!

Get rewards from the Huawei AppGallery from time to time such as vouchers, free gifts, lucky draws and more!

Other than the Huawei AppGallery, Huawei recently unveiled MEETime which is a video calling app that lets you call MEETime users as well as perform screen share so that you can watch videos together with your friends and family. MEETime is very lightweight when it comes to bandwidth usage, which makes it not only more stable, but it also reduces the chance of getting disconnected especially when you’re in an area with poor coverage.

If you’re an avid mobile gamer, you’ll be pleased to know that the AppGallery does not region lock their games. With that said, you will be able to play games with fellow gamers from other regions without the need to use a VPN.

There’s also the Quick Apps functionality which lets you use selected apps without the need to download it, which not only saves you time but also space on your device which you can use to store more pictures instead. There are also other value-added services exclusive to the Huawei AppGallery such as the Huawei Themes app that lets users personalize their smartphone using various themes available.

Not only that, but it’s also possible to redeem various rewards and benefits simply by downloading apps from the Huawei AppGallery. If you’re worried about security, fret not, as the AppGallery was awarded the CC EAL 5 + certification which ensures the safety of your personal information.

Your personal data will always stay safe!

The Huawei AppGallery is available on all Huawei devices including the Huawei P40 series and Huawei MatePad Pro, which can be purchased via their official online store alongside the Huawei Watch GT2e.

Here's how the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Matebook 13, and WiFi Q2 Pro can improve your productivity

When the Huawei Mate 30 Pro was first unveiled, it was marketed as a beautifully designed flagship smartphone that is well equipped to handle almost any productivity task you throw at it. With that said, it is possible to be even more productive and efficient if you pair the aforementioned smartphone with other compatible electronic devices such as the Huawei Matebook 13 and the WiFi Q2 Pro which were released around the same time.

In this article, we’ll be taking a closer look at these three products as well as their productivity-focused features that it comes with. Not only that, but we’ll also discuss ways that you could benefit from these features as well.

To the uninitiated, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a HiSilicon Kirin 990 chipset, 8GB of RAM as well as 256GB of internal storage, giving you ample space and performance to work with. Furthermore, it is also running on the latest EMUI 10 operating system which allows the user to perform various functions such as controlling the smartphone without touching it via the AI Gesture System.

The device also sports a rather large 6.53-inch ultra-curved Horizon display, featuring a virtual volume button rocker that can be accessed from either side of the display instead of a generic physical volume rocker. Not only that, but it also has a screen resolution of 1176 x 2400, which makes it rather enjoyable when it comes to viewing content on the smartphone.

As for the Huawei Matebook 13, it weighs 1.3kg only and it is fitted with up to an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor as well as an Nvidia MX150 graphics card. With tech specs like these, the laptop is more than capable of handling tasks ranging from video editing to word processing.

In addition, it also has a battery life of up to 10 hours, which makes it suitable for the user to work while on the go. Unlike most laptops out there in the market, the Huawei Matebook 13 comes in a 13-inch 3:2 aspect ratio 2K display that is also 100% sRGB(TYP) compliant, making it suitable for projects that handle a lot of colours such as illustration, photo editing and colour grading.

With all that said, Huawei introduced the OneHop as well as the Multi-Device Collaboration feature to help increase efficiency and your productivity. To go into more detail, the OneHop lets you quickly send up to 500 photos a minute to your laptop just by simply tapping your Mate 30 Pro onto a pre-determined spot beside the trackpad.

Other than that, there is also the Multi-Device Collaboration feature which lets the user mirror their Mate 30 Pro onto their laptop. Once mirrored, the user can interact with both the smartphone and the laptop at the same time using the same mouse and keyboard. This is quite useful due to the fact that you don’t need to bring out your smartphone whenever you need to reply to a message, as everything can be done via the laptop itself.

When handling online content, it is very crucial that you have a stable WiFi connection that doesn't cut off at random intervals and reduce productivity. To handle this, Huawei introduced the Huawei WiFi Q2 Pro wireless router which allows the user to set up multiple access points around the house, reducing the chance of getting disconnected. By utilizing the house’s internal wireless, the WiFi Q2 Pro wireless router is also a much cleaner solution when it comes to improving the WiFi coverage at home.

In conclusion, alongside with the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and the Matebook 13, this could change the way you work forever thanks to the OneHop file sharing and Multi-Device Collaboration feature mentioned above. Not only that, but you could get a much more seamless experience if you got the Huawei Smart Life package which is available in Malaysia, including the Watch GT2, Huawei x Gentle Monster as well as the FreeBuds 3.

If you want to know more about the Huawei Smart Life package as well as all the products mentioned, you can head over to Huawei’s official website or Facebook page. What do you think of Huawei’s productivity-focused features? Let us know on our Facebook page, and for more updates like this stay tuned to TechNave.com.


Here's how the Redmi K20 may look like

Leaked concept renders of the Redmi K20 have surfaced online and it’s looking not too shabby. The Redmi K20 is Redmi’s upcoming flagship device which features the Snapdragon 855, a pop up selfie camera, a rear triple camera setup with wide angle lens and more.

The concept renders show off an infinite display thanks to the pop up selfie camera placed on the top center of the device with skinny bezels and a slight chin. As opposed to the first teaser the company had shared, the position of the pop up camera has been moved from the top left to the center instead. The left of the device is left bare while the right holds the volume rocker and the power button. On the rear of the device, a triple camera setup can be seen on the middle of the device with a red ring on one of the sensors. It seems like the device may be released in 3 colour variants which are Carbon Black, Glacier Blue, and Flame Red.

Cited from sources, the Redmi K20 may have features that may include GPU overclocking, an in-display fingerprint reader, an ultrawide lens, full infinity display with a pop up selfie camera, 3.5mm headphone jack and is optimized for gaming. As for its tech specs, we may be seeing 8GB RAM + 128/256GB of internal storage variants, a 6.39 inch display and NFC. Camera-wise, we’ll be seeing a triple rear camera setup 48MP + 13MP + 8MP sensors whereas the selfie camera may be released with a pretty impressive 32MP.


Here's how the S Pen and Samsung Notes can boost up your productivity

Previously, we wrote that the newly upgraded S Pen was one of our favourite features on the Samsung Galaxy Note20 series. Upgraded? How so? Well, that's what you are about to find out! In this article, we will be showcasing what you can now do with the stylus.

Besides that, we experimented with how the new Samsung Notes performs with the S Pen since Samsung said the app is a lot more useful now. This includes the Audio Bookmark and how well the S Pen syncs with the app. Without further ado, here's how the new S Pen and Samsung Notes can boost up your productivity.

We said this before and we will say it again - the S Pen has finally reached its full potential by becoming like a Bluetooth Wand. Back in 2018 with the Galaxy Note 9, you could only use the stylus to take photos (which is still convenient), play/pause videos, and control a slide presentation or photo album without touching the phone. Fast forward to 2020, Samsung has now integrated five new Air Action gestures into the stylus, allowing you to do more commands than ever.

So what are the new Air Action gestures? At the moment, the default settings are listed below:

The Air Actions settings - You can do so much more with opening a certain app

I'm no artist but the friendly user interface helped me to draw this

That's not all, you can also customise the gestures to do other tasks such as navigating, creating a note, and opening an app! Personally, I don't really use the S Pen that much but I can imagine the Air Action gestures being useful and convenient for businessmen and women, as well as those who are stylus fans. Ah, let's not forget digital artists too, as the S Pen's response time has been improved to 9ms on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G.

Samsung also mentioned that the Samsung Notes app has now been improved during their #Unpacked event. They only showcased some features on the app such as the Audio Bookmark and Link to Windows, but it turns out that there are more features than we thought! If you're the type that likes to take down notes on-the-go, there are a few tools that can help you organise your texts conveniently.

The Samsung Notes app menu - You can hover your S Pen over a note to see a preview

You can also convert your writings into text immediately

So here's a scenario, imagine yourself reviewing your notes after a meeting. The words are probably all over the place because you used the stylus but fret not, you can use smart select to highlight the words and convert them into text format. Even better if your superior wants a translated text, as you can simply translate the words on the spot without having to refer to the Internet. Talk about saving time!

By the way, Samsung Notes will be able to sync to OneNote on a web browser and Windows 10 soon from November 2020 onwards. There's also the Link to Windows feature, which allows you to open apps directly on your PC or laptop. Setting it up is pretty easy too! Look for the Link to Windows option on your notification bar, follow the steps and voila~, you can now work and reply messages simultaneously.

Yes, you can project your mobile game on the laptop screen panel too (doesn't work with keyboard and mouse)

So, what do you think of these new upgrades for the S Pen and Samsung Notes app? Personally, the fact that you can use Link to Windows to connect to any PC and laptop just makes your working life easier. We also can't wait for the OneNote integration in November!

If you're interested, you can head over to the Samsung online store. In addition, you can also get a complimentary UV Sterilizer with Wireless Charging (worth RM299) and Wireless Charger Convertible (worth RM209) with either the Galaxy Note20, Galaxy Note20 5G or Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G. Do note that this promotion is on a first-come-first-serve basis, while stocks last.

Here's how the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 might look like

PhoneArena.com's Samsung Galaxy Note 10 colour wish list

We’re still a ways away from the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 but it won’t stop us from wondering what the device may end up looking like. PhoneArena.com took whatever little information and rumours they had about the device and created renders from it to make their vision of the device a reality.

The Note 10 has been heavily rumoured to have a quad camera setup on the back of the device, similar to the Samsung Galaxy A9. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G also has a similar quad camera setup and we believe that they may implement the same setup on the Note 10 with the 12MP, 12MP (telephoto with 2x zoom), 16MP (wide angle) and 3D Depth sensor but with improvements.

For the display, the punch hole display which is officially named the Infinity-O display by Samsung, may still be here to stay as it is not known if the technology for an under display camera is quite ready yet for now. We’ll likely still see a dual camera setup in the front. Besides that, I’m pretty positive the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will be staying as well as it is currently the fastest UD fingerprint scanner on the market. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they have improved the technology 10x by then. Who knows?

For now, we can only dream that these renders may just become a reality. I’m hoping for some new pretty colours for the new Note 10 (rose gold, anyone?). Also maybe an improved S Pen. What do you guys want to see on the Note 10? For the latest rumours and news on Samsung, TechNave.com is the place to look out for!


Here's how the Xiaomi 13 series could look like

As we proceed in November, leaks on several smartphones are inevitable. This time, the upcoming Xiaomi flagship phone would often appear and we got a good look at the Xiaomi 13 series.

In a collaboration between OnLeaks and CompareDial, the Xiaomi 13 series looks a bit different from its predecessor. As you can see from the renders, the side frames are flat and the triple rear camera is in a square-shaped bump. It seems that the Xiaomi 13 series is taking some design cues from the iPhone 14 series.

The design is a bit similar to the Xiaomi 12 Lite except for the rear camera design. We are expecting the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset to appear on the Xiaomi 13 series too, which could be announced at the Qualcomm Summit 2022 event that will take place from 15-17 November 2022.

As per tradition, Xiaomi is expected to announce the latest flagship by the end of November or early December. So until then, stay tuned but what do you think of these rendered images? Let us know in the comments below and we will be covering it for sure.


Here's how the iPhone XR 2019 may look like

We’ve seen the iPhone XI renders and they were pretty… interesting. Now 360 renders of the iPhone XR 2019 have surfaced and it looks just as odd as the iPhone XI’s design with the dual rear camera setup.

The front of the device looks similar to its predecessor, the original iPhone XR with the 6.1 inch display, huge notch and thick bezels. The back is where things get interesting with the square camera module. The lenses are positioned vertically on the left of the module while on the right is the LED flash and microphone. The buttons and ports of the device too remain the same as its predecessor’s with power button and sim tray on the right and the volume button and mute switch on the left. However, despite the iPhone XI’s render which shows it having a vertical mute switch, the iPhone XR looks to be retaining its horizontal switch like before. On the bottom are the speaker grills and lightning port.

As for the device’s tech specs, we’re expecting to see phone powered by the A13 Bionic chipset with an 18W fast charger. No information have been released in regards to its other features such as the camera but going by trends, we may be seeing a 12MP (wide-angle) + 12MP (telephoto) setup. As for its design, we may be seeing the colours Red, Yellow, Blue and White returning this year.

There are rumours going around that the device may be pricier this year but expect the price to slightly drop or remain the same due to poor iPhone sales last year (at least, we hope so).

Here's how the new Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Watch 4 series and Galaxy Buds might look like

In just a month's time, Samsung could have another Unpacked event but it's a good guess that we won't be seeing another new Galaxy Note smartphone according to previous speculations. So what kind of devices will show up? Well, reputable leaker Evan Blass just tweeted not one, but four Galaxy device lineups in full rendered images.

If you have been following Samsung news, there is a high possibility that both the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 could appear at Unpacked. These two foldable phones are the successors and we have talked plenty of time about them, but what makes the Galaxy Z Fold 3 interesting is that the S Pen support might actually happen. As for the Galaxy Z Flip 3, it could have a much bigger secondary external display for incoming notifications.

Samsung is also known for offering a device in different colours so expect some attractive colour models. For the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Blass also shared a white, black and green Galaxy Z Fold 3 whereas the Galaxy Z Flip 3 was tweeted in purple, black, gold and green. On top of that, the rumoured Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and Galaxy Watch Active 4 appeared too, where the former has a rotating bezel with two buttons.

Last but not least, there was some rumoured news about the next-gen Galaxy Buds. According to rumours, it should come with an Active Noise Cancellation unlike its predecessors and the shape has changed as well (no longer Galaxy Beans). If the rendered images are true, the next-gen Galaxy Buds could have a cool now colour twist with the external casing remaining white and the internal could be in different colour themes.

The next Samsung Unpacked is likely to be scheduled on 11 August 2021 but it has not been confirmed by Samsung yet. Usually, companies would hint about the even about 1-2 weeks beforehand so we shall wait until then. What do you think about these designs?

Here's how to spot scammers pretending to be Shopee recruiters & others

Online, calling and SMS scams are still quite normal these days but it seems that some are pretending to be Shopee.

As a general rule of thumb, companies should never call anyone with a personal number. Shopee does not employ any individuals to recruit employees through messaging platforms for purposes of ‘increasing the exposure rate of merchants’. Moreover, contests such as “Lucky Draws”, “Tap and Win” and “Spin and Win” via the official Shopee app, official Shopee social media pages and official Shopee WhatsApp verified business account.

That said, TechNave and Shopee wish to remind Malaysians to avoid these scams, and not to fall prey to these fake employment offers or rewards. Should you or anyone you know got offered questionable job opportunities or contests, or have fallen victim to such scams, please contact the nearest police station and file a police report immediately.

Above are ways for you to reach out to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). You may also contact Shopee's Customer Service hotline at +603 2777 9222 or email [email protected] to verify. For those interested in pursuing a career at Shopee, please visit careers.shopee.com.my for more information.

Here's how to take a full moon photo with the HONOR 20 Pro

In conjunction with all the delicious mooncakes that have been going around in the office, HONOR Malaysia would like to wish you Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! They would also like you to know that now it's the perfect time to take the shot of the moon with the HONOR 20 Pro too.

Thanks to the haze from our neighbouring country, the moon now has the red shade for a short period of time during the evening and it's not something you see often. If you happen to have the HONOR 20 Pro (or your friend's), you can take advantage of the phone's 30x zoom to capture the best and clearest view of the moon.

To do that, you can simply just go into the camera mode, zoom in to the moon at the maximum (30x) and focus on the moon. Make sure your camera AI is turned on and for convenience, you should put your phone on a tripod stand so that it's stable.

The HONOR 20 Pro has a score of 111 on DxoMark and from our experience, we are quite satisfied with the smartphone's camera performance. If you want to learn more, you can visit our review here to see what we have to say about the flagship.

We wish you Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, be sure to share your best photos with us on our Facebook page!


Here's how to take an AR Apple Event logo photo on your iPhone and iPad

By now, most of you Apple fans already know about the upcoming Apple Event past midnight. Scheduled for 15 September 2021 at 1 AM in Malaysia time, we are expecting to see a new generation of the iPhone 13 series, Apple Watch Series 7 as well as the AirPods 3.

Besides that, Apple also did a cool AR marketing tactic of the Apple Event where you can snap a photo of it. If you head over to your iPhone or iPad and visit the event webpage, you can tap on the logo then an AR viewer will pop up on your Safari web browser. To precisely place the Apple Event logo, you can drag the logo around with your thumb or fingers as well as using the pinch gesture on the iPhone display to make it large or small in real-time.

Moving to the rumour mill, the iPhone 13 series may have four models just like the current version which could be a 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini, a 6.1-inch iPhone 13, a 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max. We don't expect a radical design but a smaller notch is much teased over the past few months, alongside a 120Hz display and better camera system.

Then for the Apple Watch Series 7, rumours have it that the body could be quite flat and thinner. But there is some unconfirmed news that we may not see it so soon due to manufacturing complications. The AirPods 3 could look similar to the AirPods Pro but without any ANC.

Are you looking forward to the next Apple Event? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for our official coverage at TechNave.com.


Here’s how to take your creative mobile work to the next level with the Huawei MatePad Pro

The Huawei MatePad Pro combines to become a powerful laptop replacement unit

Unlike most tablets, the MatePad Pro offers a 90% screen-to-body ratio with 4.9mm ultra-thin bezels for a sleeker and thinner device that can fit most bags or pouches. The 8MP in-display front camera is hardly noticeable on the 10.8-inch display with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution but all the details that you need to see are clearly visible.

Utilizing Huawei’s latest flagship-level Kirin 990 chipset, the Huawei MatePad Pro also uses flagship-level memory with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also 15W wireless charging and 20W fast charging for the 7250 mAh battery.

That Huawei MatePad Pro's reverse wireless charging let's you charge your Huawei smartphone wirelessly

It also has 4 quad speakers tuned by Harmon Kardon and 5 microphones with active noise cancelling, so you can do online meetings with crystal clear clarity.

Thanks to new features like Huawei MEETime you can now do video calls which are enabled from your Huawei smartphone with Huawei Share for seamless cross-device collaboration.

Here’s how to update the AirPods 2, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max to the latest firmware released by Apple

Apple has just released a new firmware for its popular line of wearable wireless audio devices which includes the AirPods 2, AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max. Currently at firmware version 4E71, it is replacing the previous version of 4C165.

So, what does the update bring? Well, no one but Apple knows because the company didn’t actually release any notes with the firmware updates of the AirPods lineup. Furthermore, the original AirPods won't be receiving this new firmware update.

Moving forward, since the UI change in iOS 14, in order to access the AirPods settings, you have to navigate under Bluetooth instead of Apple ID's devices list option. Hence, you have to dig quite deep to see what firmware your AirPods are actually on. Moreover, you don’t actually have a way to force an update onto your AirPods since it's all automated.

So, how to know your AirPods’ firmware and to start the update? Just follow these steps:

In the menu, you can customise the name of your AirPods (if you haven’t already), do an Ear Tip Fit Test, switch between the noise control settings and others. More importantly, you can check your current firmware version by going to the very bottom under the ‘Version’ tab.

If it’s still not updated to version 4E71, all you have to do is make sure your AirPods stay connected to your Apple devices. The update will be automatically install in the background, though there’s no way to tell when it will start or when it will finish.

Nevertheless, by my experience, a quick usage of the AirPods will automatically install the upgrade in the background. Just recheck the firmware version after a few hours of use and it should be updated to the latest version.

So have you updated your AirPods Max, AirPods 2 or AirPods Pro to the latest firmware? Share your experience with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for the latest tech news!

Here's how you can save up to RM200 with a unifi Your World package

With the CMCO back in force, the majority of us are once again stuck indoors again. With that in mind, some of you may have been thinking about upgrading your Internet connection. But what's a good option to go for these days?

Well, if you want to enjoy watching some new shows then you may want to hit up unifi. Telekom Malaysia (TM) launched its unifi Your World campaign last month and it offers new or existing customers with a bundled package of some of their services. This includes a mobile unifi broadband connection, 4G line, unifi TV, and more. Today, we're going to discuss what's included and how a unifi Your World package could save you up to RM200.

These days, staying connected has begun a crucial part of our lives. And what's a major service that can do that for us? An Internet connection. Specifically, a high-speed broadband Internet connection. With a unifi Fibre Broadband line, we can consume a variety of content like videos and music, as well as keep in touch with people from all over the world.

All of the unifi Fibre Broadband plans are available here, but there are two things to keep in mind before you proceed: the size of your household and your bandwidth requirements. For example, if it's just you by your lonesome and you don't do anything special like multi-platform live-streaming, just go with the package with a 30Mbps plan for RM198/month. If you live with your family and everyone loves to watch YouTube or Netflix, you may want to go for something better like the 300Mbps plan for RM228/month.

Sometimes, you may not be at home to enjoy those sweet fibre broadband speeds. That's when you need a trusty smartphone and mobile connection to get you through the day. Not to worry, unifi has that covered too with its 4G LTE plan. Having one of these will let you make phone calls and stay connected via a mobile device.

So, what do unifi's 4G LTE plans offer? The one that comes with the RM198/month already gives you unlimited data and 10GB of LTE. But if you're willing to top up a bit more, you can get unlimited free calls to fixed lines and 600 minutes of calls to all lines for RM208/month. If you're living alone and have lower bandwidth requirements, this is probably the best deal if you ask us. After all, it's just a bit more for a lot of free calls.

But hey, just the two above probably aren't exciting enough for you, right? For those of you who love to watch TV shows, the unifi Your World plan also comes with a unifi TV Ultimate pack subscription. This gives you access to over 70 premium channels, including Fox Movies, LIVE Sports, MTV Asia, and more. As part of the plan, you'll also get Viu and YuppFlix subscriptions for 6 months. Of course, the unifi Plus Box will be included as well.

You'll get access to more than 70 premium channels

For those of you who live in a household, you may have encountered this problem before: there's just this one spot in your house, it could be the toilet or that comfy corner where you have your bean bag, that just won't get a good WiFi connection. Sometimes you can solve this by buying a very expensive top-tier router, but what if you don't want to?

In case you're trying to cut down on cost or you have a large house with thick walls, a mesh router may prove to be a better option. Well, the top two packages for unifi Your World includes a mesh router, which you can use to boost and extend the WiFi signal of the unifi connection. There's also the option to add-on a mesh router, even if you sign up for the cheaper packages.

The top two packages come with mesh WiFi routers included for free

TM is providing quite some value with this new package, with savings of up to RM1560 per year within a 24-month contract period. While it should be noted that the current prices are promotional and will change after 24 months, it's still a great deal if these are services you are interested in. If you want to find out more, do check out the unifi Your World website.

With that said, what do you think about unifi new bundle package? Do let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more articles like this.

Here’s how you can use WhatsApp to connect with family and friends this Ramadan

Muslims in Malaysia and all around the globe are set to welcome the holy month of Ramadan tomorrow, a time for reflection and togetherness. In conjunction with the festivities, popular messaging platform WhatsApp has shared several tips and ideas on how to use the app to create new memories with loved ones this Ramadan below:

The act of breaking a fast during Ramadan, Iftar is often undertaken with family and friends. But what if you have family members who live overseas or elderly grandparents who are not able to join in person?

Well, you can still stay connected by organising a virtual Iftar evening on WhatsApp with video calls for up to 32 people. Moreover, you can also use call links to plan ahead, so everyone knows when to join in and you aren’t adding people in one by one.

Sahur and iftar are the two most important meals during Ramadan but sometimes, planning meals for a month can become a chore. Why not inspire others and get inspired by creating a WhatsApp Group of home cooks and foodies where you can share meal ideas?

Besides that, you can also upload photos of your meals to Status and let your connections know how you are channelling your inner chef this Ramadan.

Giving to the community and being charitable are synonymous with Ramadan. Hence, this holy month, set a reminder for yourself to fulfil your Zakat rites with WhatsApp’s message yourself and pin the chat so it stays top of mind.

Charity doesn’t end with Zakat either, so you can also start organising people to support a social cause through WhatsApp Communities.

Throughout Ramadan, you will want to connect with family and friends as you convey your heartfelt wishes. Make greetings personal by creating your avatar or try recording your greetings in a voice note to really let your personality shine through your message.

When you receive greetings, Reactions are an easy and great way to show how you feel.

Visiting vibrant bazaars filled with festive food is a must-do during Ramadan. With so many bazaars to choose from, WhatsApp Polls can help you and your loved ones decide which one to visit.

If you lose each other in a crowded bazaar, turn on live location so your companions can find you easily.

Scammers can easily mar the festive spirit with fake festive promotions and deals. If you notice any suspicious messages, you can easily report and block unwanted messages on WhatsApp.

While WhatsApp protects all your conversations with end-to-end encryption, activating two step-verification can protect your account further. As you’re speaking to friends and family this month, give them a heads up as well, so we can help each other stay safe.

This is a month of being socially active and meeting more friends and family but it is also a month to find the time to self-reflect. If you need the quiet time, you can mute chat groups for 8 hours to 1 week, or when needed, “always” until you’re ready to tune in again.

Awesome! So, what do you guys think of these tips from WhatsApp? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and from all of us here at TechNave, we would like to wish all Muslims a happy Ramadan Kareem.
