Yes offers 5G network access under Pakej Perpaduan, but it’s capped at 3Mbps speed

The Pakej Perpaduan prepaid mobile internet plan officially launched on Tuesday (28 February 2023), a package with 30GB of data at 3Mbps speed with 180 days validity for just RM30. It will be offered by local telco companies, including Yes, which today announced that its prepaid users can access both 4G and 5G networks via the package.

However, there’s a catch, whereby users can only browse both networks at 3Mbps speed. Taking to its official Twitter page, Yes announced that it is excited to introduce the Pakej Perpaduan Yes promotion.

The company further asserted that the special prepaid package will provide 30GB internet under its 4G and 5G networks but at 3Mbps and with 180 days validity. Essentially, Yes is offering the same features of Pakej Perpaduan as announced by the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) but with the addition of access to the 5G network.

Of course, having a 3Mbps speed cap for 5G is rather comical, though given the access to 5G is in addition to LTE, it does have the benefit of wider coverage for customers. For more information, visit Yes’ official website here.

Yet another Limited Edition OPPO. This time it’s the Red R9s with Min Chen!

If you missed out on getting your hands on a unit of the limited edition Valentine Red OPPO R9s earlier this month, fret not, as OPPO Malaysia is back with yet another special edition of the OPPO R9s! This time, they teamed up with one of their company ambassador in Malaysia, Min Chen.

While it is still essentially the same hardware as the standard R9s that was launched earlier this year, it receives the same striking red finish as the Valentine Red Edition, but this time, instead of offering customised engraving, all OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition will have the artist’s signature laser-engraved on its back, much like the OPPO F1s Ayda Jebat Edition. To make it extra special, the OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition box set will include a mini Min Chen standee, four postcards featuring the artist’s photo, and a phone cover featuring a cartoonised image of the artist.

Besides that, the phone is pre-installed with several selfies taken by Min Chen herself, exclusive wallpapers, as well as alarm ringtones recorded by the artist, all of which are exclusive to this special edition. Undeniably, this is the perfect phone for her biggest fans.

The OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition still packs the same 16MP f/1.7 rear camera as the usual R9s, which is apparently one of Min Chen’s favourite feature of the device, allowing her to capture crisp and clear photos, anytime and anywhere, ensuring the best photography experience.

Despite all the extras included in the box set, the OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition retains the same RM1798 price tag as per the standard R9s. It will be made available via various channels starting from 22 February 2017, namely OPPO Malaysia’s own online store, OPPO Concept Stores nationwide, as well as their local e-commerce partner, Lazada Malaysia.


Yet another Samsung Galaxy Note 7 caught on fire - a replacement unit this time

Samsung is in the midst of the biggest replacement programme they are facing, and now they have face another setback. A replacement unit for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has caught fire right in the owner’s pocket.

The customer was on a Southwest Airlines flight, just prior to taking off. The customer switched off his phone, put it in his pocket and suddenly the phone started to smoke. He then dropped the phone on the floor of the plane, and quoted from the news report “ a "thick grey-green angry smoke" was pouring out of the device” The plane had to be evacuated thanks to this incident.

The Verge did a check online, and the system on Samsung’s side said that the phone, which went up in smoke, was one of the newly replaced batch. Samsung responded and said that they can’t confirm the incident until they have received the device to be examined.

Definitely not a good day for Samsung, and we hope this is an isolated incident for the company. Stay tuned to TechNave for more Samsung news.


Yi is now a camera maker – introduces the M1 retailing at $330 (~RM 1364)

While Xiaomi’s Yi is more known for their smaller items (such as the action cams), they are not afraid of trying out new things. This sense of adventure gives them the courage to join the camera manufacturer world, with the new Yi M1 camera – a Micro Fourthirds interchangeable imager.

It is a mirrorless ILC with 20MP Sony designed CMOS sensor that boasts Raw capability in the form of DNG output files and the ability to shoot 4K/30P video. As it uses the Micro Fourthirds mount, it can accept any of the lenses from Panasonic, Olympus or any other third party lenses – or just use the included 42.5mm F1.8 prime and a 12-40mm F3.5-5.6 zoom, depending on the kit that you have purchased.

It is fully touch screen controlled, with a uncanny resemblance to the Leica T series camera. It can use WiFI and Bluetooth LE to connect to smart devices – but it doesn't come with any viewfinder. The biggest kicker? It is only USD 330 (~RM 1364). Stay tuned to TechNave for more news on the Yi M1 camera.

Yoodo & The Pokemon Company partnership announced, Pokemon Unite Malaysia Open 2022 coming soon

Today, Yoodo has announced a new partnership with The Pokemon Company. As the first Malaysian telco to do so, the company will be launching a new Pokemon Unite Malaysia Open 2022 with a prize pool of $20,000.

Yup, you read that right. That's the prize in USD, not Malaysian Ringgit. Chow Tuck Mun, Head of Yoodo said that Yoodo is thrilled to partner with The Pokemon Company and hopes that the upcoming tournament will provide a platform for more Malaysian esports players to shine. The registration will begin on 27 July until 30 August, with the Grand Finals scheduled for 10 September.

In addition to the launch of the tournament, Yoodo also revealed that it will be introducing the Pokémon UNITE data Add-On, slated for launch in August 2022. The new addition joins Yoodo’s library of other gaming add-ons available for its Yoodo users, which allow them to game all day and all night with a 20GB boost of data whenever needed.

Besides the new addition of Pokemon Unite, Yoodo also offers mobile gamers some nice PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Call of Duty: Mobile as well as Arena of Valor features. We will have to wait for more details on the Pokemon Unite data add-on until then. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


Yoodo announced that its business will continue as usual

In the recent event of Celcom and Digi merging together, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) also mentioned that Yoodo, a subsidiary of Celcom must be sold off or cease its operations after the merging is complete. So what will happen to Yoodo?

A Yoodo spokesman just posted an update for those who are curious and concerned. Bringing the message directly from the Head of Yoodo, he said and assured us that the business and operations will continue as usual. If we are being honest, it seems to indicate that Yoodo will continue until it's no longer operational.

Nevertheless, the Head of Yoodo also mentioned that there will be more upcoming innovative products that cater to our mobile consumption needs and lifestyle. This includes the areas of mobile gaming esports, entertainment, K-pop music experiences and many more. Yoodo will release more announcements if there are any changes in the future.

If we follow the timeline, the Yoodo-ers can continue to use the Yoodo services until the merging process is expected to be complete in the second half of 2022. Despite that, the services should continue for up to three years. This is because Yoodo is essentially an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) and can access a wholesale service for three years.


Yoodo announces Yoodo FV Major Cup 2020, a fighting game tournament for Malaysians

E-sports is an industry that many expect to see massive growth in. A recent Newzoo report predicts that this industry will have a global audience of just under 500 million viewers and a total revenue of USD 1.1 billion (~RM4.8 billion) this year. That's a lot of money to be made, money that Yoodo wants to earn by hosting the inaugural Yoodo FV Major Cup 2020.

Held in collaboration with Flash Vision Esports, the Yoodo FV Major Cup 2020 is a fighting game competition for all fighting game enthusiasts in Malaysia. While fighting games are a niche subset when it comes to e-sports, it's got a dedicated following. The tournament will pit gamers against one another in the highly popular Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 games, with a total of 320 participants expected to join.

Participants will be chosen from five rounds of qualifiers will get to compete in the grand finals, where the champions will be determined. But that's not all the reward you'll get, besides the currently undisclosed grand prize, champions will get to attend the EVO Championship in Las Vegas next year.

To sign up for the qualifiers, all you need is a fee of RM20. Moreover, fees from the first qualifier will all be donated to Zoo Negara Malaysia. With that said, are you keen on showing off your skills in Street Fighter V or Tekken 7? Let us know what other fighting games you like to play on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for further updates.


Yoodo continues to provide free 1GB Internet data but not limited to 8AM - 6PM like other telcos

While MCMC have officially stated that the free 1GB Internet data provided by Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile will only be available in between 8AM - 6PM, many users thought that time limit is a bit of a letdown. Moreover, this applies to both postpaid and prepaid customers but not to Yoodo. Thanks to one of our readers, it has come to our attention that Yoodo users can use their free 1GB Internet data any time and anywhere.

In line with the recent PRIHATIN package announced by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Yoodo will also offer all their customers with a free 1GB Internet data starting today (30 March) until 14 April 2020. What's more, the company isn't restricted to the limited 8AM - 6PM and all you have to do is have an active Yoodo line to enjoy it. It's super easy, barely an inconvenience.

A shoutout to Naris Pillai for mentioning this!

Since the brands are also practising a contactless delivery, Yoodo have also announced a discount on their express SIM card delivery which is already in effect until 30 April 2020. Initially, the delivery costs RM15 but it has been reduced to RM5 now and customers can expect to receive it within 2 hours. To add on, there are also new data add-ons for TikTok, Viu and Call of Duty Mobile until 14 April 2020.

If you would like to know more what else is Yoodo offering, you can check them out at their official website right here. Thanks Yoodo and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Yoodo has a new plan that lets you save up to 10% discount in the long run

You read that right, you can now extend your validity with Yoodo and save up to 10% on your plan. How does it work? Well, read on below and check out how to get your discount according to your data plan.

For starters, Yoodo users can now opt for a RM30 or RM45 data plan but with a discount for long-term usage.

Yoodo is the latest local telco to offer VoWiFi service in Malaysia

Yoodo has become the latest local telco company to offer Voice Over WiFi (VoWiFi) service in Malaysia. Allowing for better calls over any WiFi network, regardless of mobile coverage, VoWiFi allows users to make calls indoors through WiFi connection, hence the quality would be much better, especially if your mobile coverage indoors is not up to par.

According to Yoodo’s official website, the service is available for devices that have VoWiFi or WiFi calling supported by the network. For now, only a handful of devices support Yoodo’s VoWiFi service, all of them being Android smartphones, with iOS devices yet to be supported by the network.

Among the smartphones supported include those from Xiaomi, vivo, Samsung, Nokia, HUAWEI and HONOR. You can check out the full list of supported devices here.

If your Android device is supported, all you have to do to activate the service is to follow these steps:

Yoodo’s introduction of VoWiFi makes it the fourth telco company in Malaysia to implement the service. Previously, Digi, Maxis and Celcom have already enabled the service for their users.

In fact, Yoodo’s introduction of VoWiFi should come as no surprise given its relationship with Celcom, which recently introduced the service back in June. In case you didn’t know, Yoodo is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that runs on the Celcom network, hence they both share almost the same features.

So, what do you guys think of the VoWiFi services in Malaysia currently? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more trending tech news in Malaysia and beyond!


Yoodo now offers Prihatin Pass with 80GB data at RM5 per month

Today, Yoodo is excited to announce another Jaringan Prihatin offering for the Malaysian market. For those who are looking for the most affordable plan, you can check out the company's Prihatin Pass at just RM5 per month for 80GB* internet data for a year (terms and conditions applied).

Initially, the Prihatin Pass was RM20 per month so that's definitely a big discount. The package gives eligible users 20GB of monthly high-speed data along with an additional FREE daily 2GB which can be used within an hour of their choice. Successful users can access the offering for 12 consecutive months until 31 July 2022, which is the offering’s final redemption date.

Yoodo officially launched with one customizable mobile plan - modular data, voice, SMS and social media you can change anytime

After Yoodo went live yesterday, they officially took the wraps off of their bold customizable Yoodo mobile plan today with an official launch showcasing what you can do with it. Compatible with both Android and iOS devices, you can get a FREE SIM card delivered by GoGet (RM15 for express delivery within 2 hours) after you register using the Yoodo app. Featuring fast 4G LTE over Celcom networks check what you get with Yoodo below.

While the SIM card is free, all the data, voice, SMS or add-ons are implemented on a 30 day basis tied to the plan. Once you've selected the add-ons you will be charged and the 30 day cycle will begin. There are no charges for adding on or reducing your needs but they will only be implemented (and charged for) at the start of the next 30 day cycle.

After 50 days of inactivity (no new purchases of add-ons) the SIM card will expire. You can choose to add a 365 day extension to keep it active without buying any new add-ons but no price for that just yet, as it will be implemented along with new features in the coming months.

For example, in the middle of the month of using you decide you need more or less data, once you select it, what you've changed will be charged at the start of the month. All add-ons expire at the end of the plan. If there is still more data left over at the end of this monthly cycle, this unused data will not rollover.

See the pricing list below for the pricing for each add-on:

Currently, Yoodo does not offer any bundled devices or smartphones or Roaming day passes. There is IDD for messages and calls. Since there are no music and video streaming services, these services use the main data.

So, what did you think about Yoodo? Clearly, the plan isn't for everyone, especially those who like to stream music or video (such as from Netflix or iFlix), but perhaps those users should go visit Celcom postpaid plans for some Walla. Would you get or be interested in Yoodo? Discuss on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for all the latest tech news and reviews.

If you want to know more about Yoodo's 5G Trial Pass, you can check out the FAQs right over here. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


Yoodo's customizable mobile plan goes official from RM30 for 5GB of data a month

Yoodo by Celcom Axiata went official today with a customizable mobile plan where you can choose 5GB to 100GB of data, 50 minutes to 2000 minutes of voice and 50 SMS to 2000 SMS a month. Extra add-ons include 5GB of Facebook for RM10, 10GB of YouTube for RM20 and 5GB of Instagram for RM10. Maxing out everything comes up to RM222 a month for 100GB of data, 2000 minutes of voice, 2000 SMS and the aforementioned add-ons but you can go for a plan with more voice minutes or SMS or data as you want.

Customize your Yoodo plan as you want anytime

This is how much you have to pay with everything maxed out

Quite obviously, Yoodo is a completely pay-per-use custom plan with no extra freebies and according to them, no hidden costs. You can download the app to sign up for the free SIM card via the app (for both Android and iOS) which they will deliver via GoGet. You will eventually be able to track and manage everything from this app while payments are through credit or debit cards. While you can pick a new 011 number, you can also port-in with your existing number provided it has been paid off.

According to the video, you can change your data, voice, SMS or add-ons anytime, but we assume that this may incur extra payments. There are no extra charges for tethering or hotspots and they say you can leave anytime with no cancellation fees. There's also roaming to most of South East Asia and IDD but no daily roaming pass just yet. Since the network is Celcom powered, coverage is just as wide as Celcom but for more details go check out their site. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech news and reviews.


Yoodo's free 5G Trial Pass will end in early July 2023

In early February 2023, Yoodo launched its 5G Trial Pass for new and old customers to try out. Initially, the company didn't announce when the trial will end but looks like we got our date. According to the website here, it will end on 4 July 2023.

That's not all, there will also be a limited-time promo after the 5G Trial Pass. Customers will be able to enjoy the 5G Pass for only RM5/month from 5 July onwards. It's unknown how long will this limited-time promo last, as the term and conditions say the promo price will be applied until further notice.

Just so you know, you can use 5G services with your existing Yoodo SIM card. Like before, you may customise your plan with a minimum 10GB data usage for 5G and as long as you have a 5G Android or iOS device, you can use the 5G service right away.

To learn more and read the rest of the terms and conditions, you can visit the official website of Yoodo right over here.


Yoodo services are currently down, data connection and app not available

If you're a Yoodo user, you may have woken up today to find that your line isn't working. That's because the telco's services are currently down, meaning that the internet connection and Yoodo app are temporarily unavailable.

Yoodo confirmed that their services are down earlier today and promised that their tech team will work to fix the issue. However, Yoodo did not specify when users can expect services to resume, so it could be a major issue. According to some users, Yoodo services have been down since midnight of 8 June 2020.

Oh dear! Our Yoodo services are temporarily unavailable. Please be patient as our tech team works to resolve this issue. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

As of the time of writing, Yoodo is still working on bringing the services back online and there hasn't been an announcement yet. With that said, what are your thoughts on Yoodo's speed and response to the issue? Do let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for further updates on this.


Yoodo sets up its 5G webpage and it's coming soon

Just a few hours ago, Yoodo posted a new teaser about its own 5G services. The teaser post didn't say much but we have a feeling that it's coming soon.

On its official website, Yoodo promoted its 5G services with the usual 5G perks. This includes 10x faster speed, bigger network capacity and reduced latency. While there's no announcement on the availability, customers are told in the FAQ section that they can get a 5G free trial sometime in the future.

Given the recent merging of CelcomDigi, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) also mentioned that Yoodo, a subsidiary of Celcom must be sold off or cease its operations. Honestly, we are a bit surprised that Yoodo is still heading for 5G services due to the situation but perhaps it was already in the plans before that happened.

For Yoodo to continue its mobile data services, a new buyer would need to acquire Yoodo by mid-2024. Yoodo can also sign an agreement with Digital Nasional Berhad and go independent if they wish to. But since Yoodo is riding on Celcom's infrastructure, there's not much reason to do so.

Guess we will just have to wait and see what Yoodo has in store for us. Until then, stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


Apple iPhone SE2 could be coming soon with the A13 Bionic chipset

Based on a statement by well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple could unveil the iPhone SE2 which could be equipped with Apple’s latest A13 Bionic chipset. Based on the unveiling date, we could expect the aforementioned smartphone make its debut somewhere around 2020 next year.

Other than the chipset mention, Ming-Chi Kuo also stated that the iPhone SE2 could come with a 4.7-inch display. Feature-wise, it might not have most of the features which are currently available on the iPhone 11 due to the fact that it is classified as a budget-oriented device. Since the price of the original iPhone SE was set at USD399(~RM1670), we could expect the SE2 to be around the same price or slightly lower.

With all that said, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt as there was no official statement by Apple on the iPhone SE2. Not only that, but there is also no news on the Malaysia release date as well as local pricing. Would you be interested in getting the iPhone SE2 when it is available in the Malaysian market? Let us know on our Facebook page, and for more updates like this stay tuned to TechNave.com.

You can actually get this giant scorpion gaming station by Cluvens for ~RM13694

It may look like a chair made for a villain in his or her secret lair, but this is real! Officially named as the Cluvens IW-SK zero-gravity eSports gaming chair and workstation (/paused for a deep breath) and if you're interested in the tech specs and features, read on below.

For starters, this monstrosity chair can support three curved 27-inch monitors or a single ultrawide 47-inch monitor attached with HDMI/DP ports. All three monitors are supported by the chair's "scorpion tail" which can also be adjusted for viewing distance. The whole thing weighs 120kg and measures 165 x 208 x 119cm when extended, so it's almost as big (if not, bigger) than a single sized bed.

In terms of features, the keyboard + mouse rest is where the "claws" hold but strangely, there are no cup holders. However, the chair does have a massage and heating mode, so when you can lie down to relax after some gaming. Now that's something I'd like to try.

Actually, this scorpion gaming chair has been around since last year but it was showcased as a demo unit back then. If you are actually interested in buying this Cluvens product, it is listed at $3299 (~RM13694) but it can also be bought for $1900 (~RM7886) if you find it at Alibaba. It's insanely expensive, but what do you think of the design? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com!


You can avoid speed traps with Google Maps

Taking a leaf out of Waze, a few Google Maps users began noticing their app warning them of upcoming speed traps on their routes. Camera icons will appear on users’ routes to warn them where to be careful which you can see at the bottom of the article.

Further, the app will also verbally warn you as you approach the area which is pretty nifty, especially for someone like me who tends to be very absent-minded, especially when driving. So far, the update has only been rolled out for a select few users but I’m hoping that they do decide to keep this feature. Before this, users can only report areas with speed traps and roadblocks but it never shows up on the routes until now. Would this feature make you decide to ditch Waze?

You can bring Baby Yoda home now, all thanks to Funko Pop!

If you happened to stumble upon some of the The Mandalorian memes recently after the release of the show on Disney+, you definitely have witnessed the cute baby version Yoda. Funko Pop! knows what is going on and made the character into a merchandise for Star Wars fans to whip out their money.

*Spoiler Alert* Baby Yoda is not actually the baby Yoda. However, there are rumours saying the character is possibly Yoda and Yaddle’s love child and he or she might also be a fungus. For now, the character is known as The Child, and Funko Pop! named the figure The Child too instead of Baby Yoda. If you are wondering what Baby Yoda did to charm the internet, here are some of the memes we collected from various sources for your viewing pleasure!

Baby Yoda Rhapsody pic.twitter.com/t5aAiE8SUS

You can bring home a 55-inch Mi TV 4S if you're an early bird for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Series Roadshow

So Xiaomi Malaysia just announced the Mi 10T series in Malaysia and the devices will start to go on sale from 9 October onwards. But that's not all, they will also have their first Mi 10T Series Roadshow at various places with attractive giveaways for the early birds which include a 55-inch Mi TV 4S.

Exclusively for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro from 9-11 October 2020, only the first 450 customers at the roadshow can claim the free 55-inch Mi TV 4S.

Speaking of roadshows, we aren't sure if Xiaomi Malaysia should go on ahead since the COVID-19 cases are spiking up again. What's more, the locations had at least one case before which include Sunway Pyramid Blue Concourse and Mi Store One Utama. Anyway, if you really want that Mi TV, please do proceed with caution.

5 new Nothing products in the works

In 2020, Carl Pei left OnePlus to start his own company. It was then revealed in January 2021 to be the company called Nothing, which has since launched its first product - the Nothing ear (1). Now, the company has confirmed the number of products in development.

During an interview with India Today, Manu Sharma (Vice President for Nothing India) confirmed that Nothing is working on five products. There are no details on what these products could be, but it's believed that there would be one more product that's launching before the end of 2021.

In case you didn't know, Nothing acquired the Essential smartphone brand back in February. It's rumoured that the company is ready to launch its first smartphone in early 2022. Moreover, Manu Sharma had revealed that Nothing is now partnered with Qualcomm, so we could see leaks of a Nothing smartphone with a Snapdragon chipset soon.

As for the other products, one of them could be a tablet, in our opinion. How about you, what do you think the company could launch? Share your ideas below in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates on this.


Apple iPhone X Face ID vs a 3D printed mask, who wins?

Is Apple's Face ID biometric security system is as safe as they claimed? This question has been thrown around for about two months now when Craig Federighi, Apple senior vice president, failed the Face ID demo during the Apple event on his first attempt. This has led to a 50-50 impression on the technology, as some still preferred the fingerprint scanner method, and out of nowhere, a cyber security firm, Bkav claimed that the Face ID is a flawed security measure and even released a video to prove it.

Now if you remember correctly, Apple did state that the iPhone X can detect if the facial is just a photo, or even to the extent of disguises, there is ‘one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock the phone’ which would have to be your twin. So in this video, Bkav made a 3D printed mask with some 2D printed eyes, nose and lips attached to it, seemingly fooling the iPhone X successfully. But there is just one problem.

Aside from admitting that creating the mask was already difficult to begin with, the problem is that there was no process of setting up the Face ID in the first place which The Telegraph noted. Furthermore, the Face ID is also programmed to adapt the person's facial change every day such as growing a beard, long hair, wearing sunglasses and others. So in this case, who knows that they have tried this the hundredth time? By that time, the Face ID probably has learned its owner "new" facial look and programmed into its system.

With this, we will take this video with a grain of salt and you should too. Perhaps we should do our own video experiment in the future (lol). But what do you think? Do you think the Fingerprint Scanner is still the best? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more tech news at TechNave.com.

You can get a PS5 + Horizon Forbidden West starting from RM1/month for signing up a Maxis Zerolution plan

As the National Day approaches, a few brands have already started advertising their Merdeka Day sales. This includes Maxis with its Maxis Sale and there are several promotions in the Zerolution section. Among the promos, the most intriguing one is none other than the PlayStation 5 (PS5) Digital Edition in there.

Not only is it a Digital Edition of the PS5 but it comes bundled with a Horizon Forbidden West digital copy as well! For those who don't know, the video game is one of the latest triple-A open world titles to be released this year and garnered positive reviews.

That said, you can actually get this literally for "free" from RM1 per month. This is only if you sign up for the Maxis Unlimited Postpaid & Fibre or the Maxis Family Plan 800Mbps package for 36 or 24 months under Zerolution. Alternatively, you could go for the 500Mbps Zerolution but it's pretty pointless with the RM1 per month promotion.

Aside from the PS5 Maxis Sale, there are other attractive packages too. This includes getting a Samsung, Xiaomi or Sharp smartTV at a discounted price starting from RM21 per month. Sounds like a pretty good deal if it's what you're looking for. To know more about it you can visit the webpage here and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Apple iPhone X Plus could have dual SIM support feature and going big at 6.5-inch

While Android smartphone manufacturers are having a blast at the MWC 2018, Apple is continuing to develop their next big iPhone. Dubbed as the iPhone X Plus, it will be one of the three new iPhones slated to be released this year. It's also said it could be the largest iPhone ever so let's see what else the rumoured report have to say.

According to Bloomberg, the reason why Apple is making three iPhones is that they want "a model for everyone". Actually, this report is tallying with Kgi Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, as his reports also suggest that there will be three iPhones this year, which are the 5.8-inch OLED iPhone, followed by a more affordable 6.1-inch LCD iPhone and of course, the 6.5-inch OLED iPhone. As for the body design, Apple could continue using the aluminium material for the cheaper 6.1-inch LCD iPhone, while the other two are using the glass back for wireless charging purpose just like the iPhone 8.

Like the iPhone X, all three iPhones will have Face ID, curved edge displays and of course, the top front notch that got everyone talking. We should also expect the new A12 processors to be featured in, and there's a new rumour that Apple could integrate a dual SIM slot but take it with a grain of salt. Speaking SIM, eSIM technology is also another possibility but it might not go through due to some carriers not supporting the idea.

This is probably the first that we heard a lot about the new iPhone rumours, we are expecting more to come as the months go by. So stay tuned for more Apple news at TechNave.com.

You can get a water cooler radiator for your iPhone in Japan from ~RM130

Smartphone performance is exponentially improving every year, but in turn, this also brings another problem - heating issue. As one of the basic rules of thumb, overheating your battery is not good for the phone in the long run as it causes it to decrease the lifespan.

Some brands have resorted to integrate a mini liquid or graphene cooling system inside the phones, but let's be honest it can only do so much and trust me, I have the ASUS ROG Phone and it still gets on fire (performance is too strong). But someone from Japan thought of an idea and it's actually mindblowing - a water cooler radiator!

Yes, it's exactly what you think. It's like a mini water cooler radiator for gaming PCs running on extremely high-end specs and at the moment, the water cooler radiator is only for the Apple iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. According to the Japanese merchant, the accessories include a water pump with a flow rate up to 200L/h and a power of 1 to 3W. Besides that, there's also a set of soft water pipes and water-cooled heads and a transparent TPU plastic case.

Moreover, it's said that the water cooler radiator can be powered by the phone itself! It's hard to imagine how effective is this product but according to reports, the iPhone XS and XS Max version are sold out already, so that left the XR version only. Oh, in case you're wondering, the overall price is 3318 Yen (~RM130) including tax but don't think you can get it online (even in Tao Bao, those aren't original sets).

So what do you think of this bizarre water cooler radiator? Would you get one if it was available in Malaysia? Stay tuned for more cool tech news at TechNave.com.
