A realme X3 variant got spotted on Geekbench revealing up to 12GB of RAM

During the end of May, realme Malaysia introduced the realme X3 SuperZoom to the Malaysia market which could have been the real flagship killer. But I digress, realme didn't just stop at the X3 SuperZoom variant as it turned out that there could be an X3 variant as well and it has been spotted on Geekbench.

Under the code name RMX2085, the realme X3 recorded 2307 and 8216 points on both single-core and multi-core scores respectively. If you think the X3 will have a Snapdragon 865 chipset, you're mistaken as the report say that it should be Snapdragon 855+ chipset instead. Apart from that, it could also very well carry either the Snapdragon 765 or 765G chipset which means the X3 will be the lesser variant either way.

On top of that, Geekbench also revealed that the X3 will be running on 12GB of RAM and Android 10 out of the box. The X3 will be revealed pretty soon as well, scheduled to debut on 25 June 2020 in India first alongside the X3 SuperZoom. We have a feeling that both phones' tech specs will be quite similar but we shall see.

There is no doubt that realme Malaysia will also bring in the X3 into the Malaysia market sooner or later. Until then, stay tuned for more trending gadget news at TechNave.com.

A record number of users have reportedly ditched Android for iPhones in 2022

The smartphone world is pretty much dominated by two operating systems, Apple’s ‘wall-gardened’ iOS on the iPhone and the other being Google’s open source Android on a slew of devices. While Android has always had more users thanks to its open source nature, it seems that iOS is catching up with 2022 seeing a record number of Android users switching to iPhone.

As reported by ZDNET, Apple posted a record revenue of USD83 billion or ~RM369.9 billion in the June quarter this year, which is up 2 percent from the previous quarter. During the earnings conference call, Apple CEO Tim Cook claimed that iPhones have welcomed a huge chunk of Android users in recent months.

Cook confirms the data through a report by StockApp at the beginning of the year, which already allowed consumers to see that Android was losing more users. Besides that, Apple also enjoyed a growth of 3 percent in the first quarter this year, with its market share increased from 15 percent to 18 percent; thus alluding to the exodus of Android users to the iPhone.

Besides having a significant amount of Android users switch to iPhone, Apple is also known for having loyal consumers than their Android counterpart.

A rendered video of the Huawei Mate X2 appears online as a "mini-laptop" and more

There isn't much information regarding the rumoured Huawei Mate X2 foldable smartphone, the last time that we read Huawei submitting a design patent was back in February this year. Well, someone just made a rendered video of the device and posted it up on bilibili.com.

Shared by @DSCCRoss, the rendered Mate X2 is based on past information on how it would look like and it looks quite sleek (if it's true). From the video, it looks like the Mate X2 could follow the Samsung Galaxy Fold's way of opening inwards instead of outwards, but retaining the Mate X body build. It seems to suggest that the device could turn into a "mini-laptop" and feature a stylus (alongside a stylus slot).

The camera module could be placed on the secondary screen which also shows other information like the time, weather, incoming notifications and calls, and even an in-display fingerprint sensor. While there's no information on long is the front display, but the Mate X2 could measure 8.03-inch when unfolded and that's kinda big. But then again, we have to take account on the virtual keyboard taking up half of the display.

It's best to take the rendered video with a pinch of salt but what do you think of the Mate X2 design? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending gadget news at TechNave.com.

A reputable insider claims that iPhone 12 series will continue using 12MP camera

Bringing higher megapixels to smartphone cameras doesn't mean that they will perform better compared to those with fewer megapixels. However, we'd still like to see those new smartphone cameras with higher megapixels being launched as they always sound impressive. If you're one of those who anticipates the new Apple iPhone 12 series' cameras to arrive with higher megapixels, you might be disappointed after reading this.

Earlier, it was reported that the upcoming iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max would come with a 64MP sensor and a 5x optical zoom. Unfortunately, a reputable insider has stated that all of the devices from the iPhone 12 series will only get cameras that are up to 12MP to clear the previous rumours. According to the source, the tech giant doesn't have plans to upgrade their cameras with higher megapixels yet. It is said that the iPhone 13 series that is going to happen next year will only get a 48MP sensor.

Although the iPhone 12 series are not bringing higher megapixels, their cameras are still expected to feature some impressive upgrades. It is rumoured that all four models will get a new 7-lens wide-angle lens that can reduce image distortion. They might also receive a new image stabilization technology. To recap, the iPhone 12 series is bringing the vanilla iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Max, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max might have two 12MP sensors in the main camera module, while the Pro ones could have three.

Get your unifi questions answered as we interview TM

We recently managed to get some time to ask Moharmustaqeem Mohammed, Acting Executive Vice President of unifi some questions, particularly about unifi, unifi lite, Streamyx, 5G and more. There's some value information amongst the wall of text so do check them out below.

In 2019, our continued focus and efforts will be to bring the best Internet experience to the nation. On 27 July 2019, we have submitted a proposal to YB Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Communications and Multimedia Kembara Digital in Ipoh where we showcased our commitment to continuously roll out the network via various technologies such as fibre, wireless and GigaWire to further increase the overall coverage and internet quality to the nation.

We are strongly committed to the interest of the consumers and we listen to what they have to say. We appreciate and welcome  constructive criticism shared with us in order for us to continuously improve our service, helping us strive to be better.

Ultimately, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to internet solutions. We have been steadily investing to expand and enhance both our fibre and copper network over the years to deliver high-speed broadband nationwide. Through our Broadband Improvement Plan which began in 2016, we have been working hard to enhance the experience of both our unifi and Streamyx customers, concurrently.

As the enabler of digital nation aspirations, we are committed to provide the best  internet experience to all. unifi Air and unifi Lite and all packages under unifi offer various services catering to every broadband needs.  For example, unifi Air provides our customers who reside within our LTE coverage with fiber-like speed of up to 20Mbps and comes with a free and easy to set up plug-and-play wireless modem that connects up to 64 devices.

At the same time, we do take feedback from Streamyx customers seriously and hence, we are in the progress of migrating our existing Streamyx customers who are not within our unifi fibre and LTE coverage areas to unifi Lite at RM69/month while we continue to roll out our network within the next two (2) years.

At the same time, we have streamlined our Streamyx offerings into one (1) plan, unifi Lite which offers up to 8Mbps at RM89/month. This is our commitment to first provide affordable basic internet plan to consumers who are eargerly waiting to experience higher speed broadband service. Not only that, more #khabarbaik that we are extending the limited time offer of unifi Lite at RM69/month until 30 September 2019 to enable more people to be onboard the digital lifestyle with unifi. Those who subscribe by 30 September 2019 will get to enjoy 12-month only contract period inclusive of free wireless modem and phone.

Rest assured that we are committed to continuously invest in the best fit-for-purpose technologies to bring unifi broadband connectivity to everyone, everywhere.  Our focus now is to continue upgrading our infrastructure nationwide and delivering turbo speed connectivity to all homes first. We’re also focused on solving the problems of our customers and want to work on delivering the best of internet experience with continuous positive news to them.

unifi, as TM’s premier convergence brand is not a brand driven by just profits, we stay true to our commitment to build a fully digital nation by making internet connectivity accessible for all. Under our #khabarbaik movement, we are dedicated to enable more Rakyat to have at least access to basic connectivity. Hence, the four (4) #khabarbaik announcements we have made so far were focused on delivering better service to our customers and the nation.

All these announcements were made to ensure that no one is left behind in Malaysia’s journey of evolving into a Digital Nation.

TM had presented a plan to the Communications and Multimedia Ministry and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to enable more Malaysians to enjoy better access and connectivity.

We are seeking support from Government of Malaysia for this implementation utilising existing funding to deliver better broadband services to rural and sub-urban areas, in line with the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP).

TM will be addressing the copper network challenges via various technologies such as fibre, wireless and GigaWire in a network rollout which will involve a phased customer migration from now until 2021. It is expected that 70% of these customers will be able to enjoy unifi services by end 2020.

Certainly, our most recent technology deployment is our pre-5G wireless technology namely massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) in Time Division Duplex (TDD). It is Malaysia’s first commercial TDD pre-5G network and is part of our journey towards powering the nation with 5G. The project, which started in Q4 2018, currently in its commercial phase and are ready to serve three high-rise blocks within SetiaWalk Puchong.

The site capacity of our pre-5G connectivity is at an average of 500Mbps. To end-users, they will be able to enjoy a peak throughput of up to 80Mbps and an average speed of 30Mbps. Major advantage of this technology is it's easily upgradable to 5G with further enhancement of low latency for connection to multiple devices.

This technology will boost unifi’s wireless connectivity services, especially for high-rise buildings and dense residential areas within LTE coverage areas but with low fixed broadband penetration, allowing for wireless internet access sharing at home and on-the-go. Apart from that, it will also address ongoing infrastructure challenges in areas without fibre coverage, bringing us one step closer to the country’s 5G milestone.

So there you have it, a little light shed on TM's unifi offers. If you're interested in us asking more such questions do let us know on our Facebook page and we'll see if we can arrange an appropriate interview. As always, stay tuned to TechNave.com.

Getting up to speed with Google Glass

Google Glass is a wearable computer in the shape of a pair of glasses. Starting from Project Glass it combines many Google products into one single device that anyone can use. Technical specs for the device are currently as follows:

Awesome live demo of Google Glass at Google I/O 2012

See like the Terminator with Google Glass

It turns you into a Cyborg, or at least lets you see like one. While we're not sure what Google's main intentions for Google Glass are, it can do the following:

While it does have some automatic features, Google Glass works through voice commands and a select button that you can press on the side of the device. These are some of the current commands available:

Based on the tech specs, Google Glass is not a wearable smartphone as it cannot call out or send messages on its own. Rather than a smartphone, it would be more appropriate to call it a wearable tablet as it is more of a display device. While it can record video and images, it cannot create content in the same way you would normally use a computer. In the future you may be able to dictate messages and take down notes but so far, these features seem to be absent from the current Google Glass feature set.

Unfortunately, you can no longer get one. Google already held an early adopter contest back in February 2013 and Google Glass Explorer editions are on the way to these early adopters now. Developers wanting to create Google Glass apps can get the Google Glass Explorer edition for $1500 but Google have said that they will market a much more affordable version by the end of the year. While it doesn't say that you need LTE to use it (after all, it is only 802.11 b/g WiFi) the fact remains that you need a fast and stable Internet network in place to use most of the features. Technically you should be able to run it in Malaysia provided you're in LTE coverage areas but there is still no news when Google Glass will be available outside of the US.

Google Glass parody on how Guys would use it

Right now, debates are going on as to the privacy of having such a portable video recording device like Google Glass available. Already, some states in the US are banning Google Glass while many other media are showing negative parodies of Google Glass being used to cheat or do other negative things. One good news has surfaced though as Google have indicated that for now there will be no ads with Google Glass, clarified in the terms of Google Mirror, the API used to develop Google Glass apps. What would you want from Google Glass?


Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut review: A full cinematic samurai & PS5 gaming experience

The term "Director's Cut" is often associated with films where directors want to show the original vision that couldn't make it into the cinema/ theatre release. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Video game companies use this concept by releasing Game of the Year versions, Season Passes, and other special editions. These often look like cash grabs (in some sense), but is this the case for Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut?

Many of you reading this may already know this, but I'll say this for the sake of newcomers. Those who already own Ghost of Tsushima but want a taste of the expansion can pay an additional cost to download the Director's Cut. You can also go ahead and buy the new Director's Cut edition, which can be yours if you are willing to cough up RM299. Is the price justified, though? We will talk more about the justification later, so let's start the review!

In this review, we will be focusing on Iki Island, which is the latest addition to Jin Sakai's story. Without giving too much away, it's a new story about Jin revisiting his past. It shows how he lost his father and helped the locals fight back a new Mongol faction led by "The Eagle". To get to this island, you will either have to finish playing the single-player campaign or get past Act 1. If you have managed to fulfil one of these requirements, a new "Journey into the Past" title will pop up on your screen.

You can return to Tsushima after you complete the main story on Iki Island

You can use the guiding wind to mark your next location (hint: it's Deadman Shore). After you're done beating the Mongols and set sail for Iki Island, you're in for a whole new adventure. Like Tsushima, the new island feels refreshing with its new environment. It has plenty of places to take tons of breathtaking photos, especially the beaches and mountaintops. So if you happen to be an avid photographer, you will definitely be taking a lot of cool poses with the sunset (I know I did).

Overall, the island's beauty and well done since it runs on 60FPS on the PS5. May I also add that the background music is still as wonderful? Iki Island is absolutely gorgeous and is indeed a fantasy getaway from this dreadful lockdown.

Many haiku spots on Iki Island have amazing scenery

Iki Island feels familiar if you have gone around all three regions in Tsushima, but it also has some new add-ons. Before your arrival on the island, you should have met a new Mongol Shaman that can support the barbarians with enhanced attacks and defences. If you're a newcomer who just got the Director's Cut edition, here's a protip - take that unit out first. There's also a special Mongol warrior that can interchange weapons. For example, they could switch from a spear to dual swords (or other weapons).

Besides that, you won't find fox dens anymore. But you can find new animal sanctuaries around the island that belongs to the deers, monkeys, and wild cats. However, you have to find them yourself or rely on the yellow bird to guide you. Upon arriving at any sanctuary, you have to play the flute to lure the animal near you to upgrade your charm items. I have to say, it's quite fun to use the PS5 DualSense controller to move the sensor to each musical note.

By the way, you should totally go do the Black Hand Riku Mythic mission as soon as possible because there's a new Sarugami armour with amazing perks. If you prefer to parry or dodge during a fight, that armour is a perfect fit for you. It even makes the Gosaku and Hero of Tsushima Armour (which was given as a new skin in this edition) feel less impressive. In addition, there are three new shrines with a mysterious poem that gives your Kensei, Sakai Clan, and Ghost armour a brand new badass look. Also, you get to find new dyes and gears in your collection around the island.

You may also participate in some tournaments held by the locals on Iki Island. First, there's a mini non-lethal gladiator arena in a village that lets you fight with some swordsmen via kendo-style (but in a dirty way). Each opponent is quite challenging, especially the final opponent, so it's best to remain calm and analyse his movements. You can also test your archery skills in a few areas and be rewarded with focus charms.

In terms of gameplay, the Director's Cut doesn't differ that much from the original game. However, your speech choices can actually shape the perception of the locals there. If you happen to visit Iki Island before finishing Tsushima, know that none of the choices you make there will affect the main island quest.

Oh, now that we mentioned speeches, this edition also allows you to switch the voiceover. You can now enable Japanese dubbing, which is really cool because it makes you feel like you're watching a cinematic Japanese movie. However, do note this is only available on the PS5. According to Sucker Punch, the PS4's hardware has some limitations for the Japanese dub. To be honest, that reasoning sounds baffling.

Believe it or not, the main story on Iki Island is not long at all. There are only a few main missions available, and you can pretty much finish all of them in one night. The island may look like it has tons of things to do there, but if you're playing a few hours every day, you can even finish all the side-quests in less than a week. Of course, I'd suggest taking one thing at a time to fully enjoy Iki Island.

On the technical side, you get some nice 60FPS buff on the PS5 (upgrade from 30FPS). In addition, the DualSense controller features like the sensor touch, triggers, and haptic feedback are nice touches to the gameplay that don't feel gimmicky. But if you compare this game with other PS5 titles like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (our review here) and Returnal (another review), you may feel a bit letdown.

Judging Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is not as easy as giving it a pass or fail, as the game definitely has its pros and cons. But to be honest, I think this edition is worth buying if you really want more out of the original game (you only need to top up a few Ringgit). And if you just got a PS5, we consider this a must-play game for newcomers. It's definitely worth adding to any avid game collector's library.

Hardcore RPG players may be disappointed at the "short" adventure length on Iki Island. But the thing is that it can't really be counted as a DLC. And if it was released as a DLC, I'm sure that it would get criticised even more. Nonetheless, I think it's a nice expansion for Ghost of Tsushima fans. The island is beautiful, has many fun things you can do, and adds depth to Jin's character.

Anyway, that's my review of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut. Have you tried out the game yet? Do you agree with it? Let us know in the comments below, and do stay tuned for more PS5 video game reviews at TechNave.com.

Yes, your horse gets a nice badass mythical armour too

Pros: A nice add-on to the original game; plenty of new places to explore; cool Japanese; and best played on the PS5 with the 60FPS upgrade

Cons: Relatively short campaign; PS4 players won't get the complete experience, which may not be worth it; and RM299 is quite steep

Conclusion: Best experienced on the PS5 and a fairly good expansion for Ghost of Tsushima fans

Gigabit speed is now possible, but how do we achieve it?

Gigabit Internet speeds is finally available in Malaysia thanks to TIME Internet which offers 1Gbps speeds for only RM199. However, to achieve gigabit speeds, there are various factors that have to be taken into consideration such as the router, what cables to use, whether your device supports those speeds, and WiFi transmission speeds.

The first question that comes to mind is why you would you need a 1Gbps connection in the first place. But, a 1Gbps connection would be great if you like streaming 4k resolution videos from Youtube, Twitch, or even other video hosting platforms simultaneously to multiple users on the same network with minimal to virtually no buffering. If you're a hardcore online gamer who streams with Twitch then this sort of speed also practically guarantees lag free gaming performance. Not only that, when it comes to downloading large files, a 1Gbps connection could theoretically download a 100GB file in under 15 minutes as compared to a 10Mbps line which is only able to finish the download in 23 hours.

Talking more about gaming and other users, if you have a 1Gbps connection, you won't experience any lags or stutters when playing online games, even while other users on the same network are streaming their movies or downloading content while multiple game streamers on the same network would be able to stream their content to platforms such as Twitch, Tamago, Youtube and more at the highest quality possible at the same time as well. With the right equipment, a 1Gbps connection could comfortably support up to or even more than 30 users simultaneously and still have enough bandwidth for smart home appliances and other devices to communicate online. That being said let's find out how to achieve it.

In order to achieve gigabit speeds, it is very important to take the choice of routers into consideration, due to the fact that not all routers are made equal. Depending on the router, you might not be able achieve gigabit speeds. Routers offered by TIME such as the TP-Link AC1200 and the D-LINK DIR-822, which you can find out more on the manufacturer's website, would make a good starting point as these routers are capable of achieving 1Gbps speeds. Due to hardware limitations however, older routers usually would not be able to support speeds as high as 1Gbps, so be wary about that.

We heartily recommend connecting to the router via LAN cable instead of WiFi as a direct connection to the router by using either a CAT5E or CAT6 cable because as of now, only wired connection is capable of achieving 1Gbps speed. To give a little explanation on why, a typical CAT5E and CAT6 cable has transmission speeds of up to 1Gbps and 10Gbps respectively. I might add that it is also very easy to differentiate between the cables by refering to the label printed along the cable sleeve as shown above. WiFi routers offered by TIME on the other hand, will get you speeds of up to 488Mbps download on 5Ghz wireless frequency and 132Mbps for 2.4Ghz based on measurements done by TIME.

Not only that, as WiFi is also another form of radio frequency technology, it is also susceptible to interference from other sources such as other WiFi signals, microwave ovens, radio transmitter and more which could affect the maximum speed of the connection. So, for direct router connections, always try to use cable before WiFi.

Lastly, devices such as smartphones, computers and tablets could also affect the maximum speed at which the devices are able to download at. You can find out the maximum speed your  Windows PC is able to support by pressing the start button on your keyboard, type out “ncpa.cpl” in the search, press enter and the Network Connections window will pop-up. Right click on the current network adapter you are using and select Status which will bring up a Status window that shows the information of the network adapter.

Based on the screenshot above, the device I am using is able to support up to 1Gbps connection which is clearly indicated in “Speed” which is just above the “Details” button. For Android and Apple users, you can check out either the manufacturer’s official website or even TechNave.com to find out the maximum supported speeds of these devices.

Taking all of the notes mentioned above into consideration, I am able to achieve close to 1Gbps download speed as well as upload speeds as high as 500Mbps through a LAN cable connection to the router.

We hope that with all the information provided in this article, you too will be able to achieve gigabit speeds as well! Of course you'll need a 1Gbps Internet plan but you can sign up with TIME’s 1Gbps plan worth RM199 a month on their official website and get RM100 off your first bill. However, if TIME’s 1Gbps plan does not pique your interest, you can always opt for the TIME 500Mbps plan which costs RM139 a month or even the TIME 100Mbps plan for RM99 a month.

Gigabyte AORUS 15P release: Ultra-portable body, good performance, and amazing battery life from ~RM6630

A lot of products tend to be revealed in big launches, but we've seen plenty of times when that's not the case. Gigabyte quietly unveiled its Aorus 15P gaming laptop on its US online store, with two variants of the laptop available for USD 1599 (~RM6630) and USD 1699 (~RM7049) respectively.

First spotted by The Verge, the Aorus 15P laptop is a gaming laptop that's made to be portable. This new model is mostly identical to the Aorus 15G, but with a weight of around 2kg and thickness of about 23mm, it's both lighter and thinner. Despite the compact body, Gigabyte claims that it's a laptop with "exceptional endurance". As for design, the Aorus 15P doesn't look all that different from the Aorus 15G.

In terms of tech specs, the Aorus 15P comes with an Intel Core i7-10750H CPU, 16GB of RAM (upgradeable to 32GB), and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or 2070 Max-Q GPU. For display, it has a 15.6-inch 1080p display with a max refresh rate of 144Hz. The battery is pretty impressive too at 94Wh and is estimated to be able to last up to 8 hours. It also comes with a three USB-A and a USB-C port, as well as an HDMI port, SD card reader, headphone jack, and Ethernet port.

Since the Aorus 15G was launched in Malaysia, this model may also be launched here. Having said that, do you like having a capable gaming laptop like this on the go, or prefer to game at home? Do let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more on the latest gadgets.


Gigabyte announces the AORUS RTX 3090/3080 Gaming Box

It's been a few months since Nvidia unveiled its latest GeForce RTX 3000 series GPUs and now a variety of new GPUs have started to launch. But the new one from Gigabyte is certainly fancier than your average GPU. So guys, say hi to the AORUS RTX 3090/3080 Gaming Box!

If you're wondering what this is, the AORUS RTX 3090/3080 Gaming Box is an external GPU enclosure that will house a water-cooled Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 or RTX 3080 GPU. Inside the box, you will find one of Nvidia's latest high-end GPUs. The card's cooling system will consist of a large copper plate, a 240mm radiator, and two 120mm fans.

The box itself comes with a variety of outputs to support different devices. This includes a USB Type-C, an Ethernet port, three USB Type-A 3.0 ports, two HDMI ports, and three DisplayPorts. The USB Type-C port even supports Thunderbolt 3, so you can connect it to compatible laptops without a discrete GPU and play AAA games.

Gigabyte hasn't announced prices and available in Malaysia, but it's probably not to expect stocks to be readily available with the high demand for the new GPUs. With that said, would you be interested in buying one of these? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news like this.


13MP+5MP dual rear camera Samsung Galaxy J7 plus goes official in Thailand for about RM1661

After the fairly massive leaks, Samsung have officially launched their Samsung Galaxy J7 Plus with a 13MP + 5MP dual rear camera in Thailand for 12900 baht (~RM1661). According to GSMArena, the phone has an aluminum body and what appears to be MediaTek Helio P20 processor with a generous 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. Rather than go wide-angle with the secondary rear lens, the Galaxy J7 Plus goes for a 5MP F/1.9 aperture lens for a more natural bokeh effect while a 16MP front camera provides for the selfie crowd.

Other tech specs include a fingerprint sensor, Always-on display, Bixby and 3000 mAh battery. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but it is currently going for pre-order in Thailand until 17 September 2017. We expect many more dual-rear camera or even dual-front camera Samsung phones to come soon, but the upcoming dual-rear and dual-front camera phone from Huawei also seems to be an interesting proposition as well.

Gigabyte will be bringing 5 new Radeon RX 6800 GPUs to Malaysia soon

It was just yesterday when we saw some AMD news. The company suggested that prices for its new Radeon RX 6800 series GPUs would normalise in 4 to 8 weeks. But maybe Gigabyte will be bringing them in soon, as the company has announced that it's bringing in Radeon RX 6800 GPUs to Malaysia.

Gigabyte Malaysia is bringing in a total of five different models. Specifically, we'll be getting the Aorus Radeon RX 6800 XT Master Type C, Aorus Radeon RX 6800 XT Master, Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming OC, Aorus Radeon RX 6800 Master, and Radeon RX 6800 Gaming OC. These cards will share a lot of features and are all designed for gamers and PC enthusiasts.

Speaking of common features, the Aorus Master GPUs have Max-Covered cooling system, which consists of three blade-stack fans that fully cover the large heatsink. Additionally, there's an LCD monitor that can be used to show the temperature or a GIF, as well as the RGB Fusion 2.0 software that you can use control the RGB lighting for the GPU. In terms of hardware, the Aorus Master GPUs have aerospace-grade PCB coating, Dual BIOS quiet operation mode, and Gigabyte Ultra Durable certified components.

Next, there's the Gaming OC series of GPUs, which uses Gigabyte's Windforce 3X cooling system instead. Similar to Max-Covered cooling, Windforce 3X comes with three blade fans with the middle fan fans spinning in reverse for more optimised airflow. Other than that, most of its other features and components are similar to the Aorus Master series.

Gigabyte didn't confirm when stocks for the GPUs, but we do know prices for the two Gaming OC series GPUs. The Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming OC and Radeon RX 6800 Gaming OC are priced at RM3899 and RM3399 respectively.

For more updates on the incoming Gigabyte Radeon RX6800 series GPUs, stay tuned TechNave. You can also drop us a comment in the comments below!


Gionee Elife E8 and Marathon M5 officially announced for 3999 CNY (RM2401) and 2499 CNY (RM1501)

Joining the ranks of large but premium smartphones like the Huawei P8 Max is the Gionee Elife E8 smartphone which was recently and officially announced. Tech specs include a 2GHz quad-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor, 23GB RAM, 64GB storage, a microSD slot and the aforementioned 6-inch AMOLED display with 2K or quad HD pixel resolution. It also features a 23.7MP rear camera with quick phase detection autofocus and a sapphire glass six element lens. Clearly, Gionee are hoping to make the Elife E8 a total cameraphone as it also packs in optical image stabilization (OIS) true tone LED flash, 4K video recording, a 100MP interpolation function and lossless zoom. No Malaysia release date or pricing details but it is being offered at 3999 CNY (RM2401) in China from 15 July 2015. Also revealed with the Elife E8 was the Marathon M5 with midrange tech specs like a 5.5-inch 720p display, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage , 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera for 2299 CNY (RM1501). However, it is the world's first smartphone to pack in dual 3010 mAh batteries (for a 6020 mAh battery) which they say will give the Marathon M5 a 4-day battery life. It will be available from 25 June 2015 but again with no specific Malaysia release dates yet.


Gionee Elife S5.1 is now world's thinnest smartphone at 5.15mm

Apparently not satisfied with holding the previous record of 5.5mm for the Elife S5.5, Gionee have announced the Elife S5.1 which is 5.15mm thin. Other measurements are at 139.8mm x 67.4mm x 5.15mm. Tech specs are fairly midrange and include a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB storage, 4.8-inch display with 720p pixel resolution, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 2100 mAh battery and Android 4.3. The design goes for rounded corners and shiny metal sides with the parts near the micro-USB port and headphone jack a bit thicker than the rest. No details were available on Malaysia release dates or pricing but it should be launched in China sometime in September 2014. It seems very unlikely that you'll see it being sold here in Malaysia unless it is from a third-party seller, so keep a close watch for it at our sister site of Mobile Mega Mall.


Gionee W900 passes TENAA with two 4-inch 1080p displays

Gionee is reportedly planning to launch a new flip phone in the market called the Gionee W900. The device has already passed Chinese TENAA certification agency, which means, the release should be soon although a Malaysia release date seems unlikely. The W900 is not like regular flip phones in the market, as it comes with two displays each measuring 4-inches with full HD 1080p resolution. Given the small size, both the displays will have an impressive pixel density of 550 PPI. However, the two displays onboard increase the thickness of the phone to nearly 14.8mm. Tech specs include a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage which is expandable via MicroSD card. There is also a 13MP rear camera along with a 5MP front camera.

Gionee smartphone certified on TENAA and it's equipped with 10000mAh battery

Recently, a smartphone by Gionee has recently been certified on TENAA which hints that the device will come equipped with a huge 10000mAh internal battery. While not much is known in regards to the release date, our source did mention that it will most likely come equipped with an Android 7.1.1 operating system, which is quite old.

Other than that, the aforementioned smartphone has a 2.0GHz octa-core chipset, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of internal storage, up to 16MP single rear camera while the front has an 8MP selfie camera, 5.72-inch display, and battery capacity mentioned above. But that’s not all, it seems that the device will also feature a capacitive fingerprint sensor directly below the rear camera.

Unsurprisingly, the phone is also quite heavy at around 305g most likely due to the sheer size of the battery. However, do take every bit of information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Gionee has yet to provide an official statement on the leak.

Gionee will launch a more powerful slim smartphone for MWC 2015?

As things gear up for MWC 2015, Gionee has announced that they will come out with an ultra-slim smartphone for the event in March 2015. While they have not announced what the phone will be called or how slim it will be, they have commented on the fact that making a slim smartphone that doesn't perform is not a good thing. This implies that we could see a more powerful Gionee ultra-slim smartphone. While the Gionee Elife S5.1 has held the world's thinnest smartphone title at 5.15mm, that title has since changed hands to the Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini at 4.7mm. Gionee will likely offer this unnamed smartphone for China and there are currently no details about Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet.
