ASUS ZenFone 2 vs ZenFone Zoom vs ZenFone 6 comparison

The newly announced ASUS ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Zoom smartphones are making waves around the world as ASUS have opted to make one really good ZenFone instead of a new version for each of the three previous original ZenFone smartphones. Due to the 5.5-inch display (which hits a very nice sweet spot in our opinion) the closest original ZenFone in terms of size would be the ZenFone 6, so we've used our tech comparison tool to compare all three smartphones. Key features that the new ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Zoom bring to the table are 64-bit Intel Processors, 5MP selfie-ready front cameras, 4G LTE cat 4 connectivity, dual tone LED flash and for the ZenFone 2, rear volume controls. While there are no Malaysia release dates yet, we expect the ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Zoom to reach us in the next few months or so as the original ASUS ZenFone smartphone range was launched regionally in April 2014.

Local Malaysia price details for the ASUS ZenFone 2 or ZenFone Zoom are also unknown still but based on the current US price of $199 (RM707) we expect the 2GB RAM ZenFone 2 to be priced around RM699. This would result in a drop in price for the existing ZenFone 6 and other previous ZenFone smartphones. Rumours indicate that AnTuTu benchmarks for the new ZenFone 2 could be around 39000 to 41000, which is a huge jump over the previous ZenFone 6 which scored 19661 on AnTuTu. Feel free to compare the ASUS ZenFone 2 or ZenFone Zoom with other smartphones using our tech spec comparison tool or check out the links below:


Lazada revamps its brand logo and identity for the first time in five years

As you probably have noticed by now at your mobile phone, Lazada has changed its logo but it's not just for a promotional period, but rather as a new campaign called "Go Where Your Heart Beats". It's Lazada's first new look since five years ago and the purpose for this is to "to accelerate South East Asia progress through commerce and technology".

According to Lazada, they wanted the new logo to reflect a more youthful, energetic and dynamic look and feel. Obviously, this is aiming at the new generation for the digital age, and if you look closely, the heart shape is made out of a big L letter block with a new palette of colours that represents the so-called "vibrancy of shopping". This is what Lazada Group Chief Marketing Officer Mary Zhou has to say about the new marketing direction:

“As South East Asia’s leading eCommerce platform by scale and by reach, we are capturing the heartbeat of the region by observing how they behave, engage with and respond to our platform. At the same time, we are contributing to the heartbeat of South East Asia as eCommerce pioneers constantly redefining the online shopper and seller experience through innovative features and tools." she said.

In conjunction with that, the new campaign also features three 30-second videos of three different characters with their own personal pursuit made possible through Lazada. You can check them out above.

The refreshed brand campaign was conceptualised and developed by Wunderman Thompson Singapore while the brand identity was developed by Superunion Singapore. Stay tuned for more Lazada news at TechNave.com.

Lazada survey reveals Raya trends 2016

It’s that time of the year again when family and friends gather to celebrate Hari Raya AidilFitri! With the festive season less than half a month away, a recent survey by Lazada Malaysia, the leading online marketplace in Malaysia, revealed Malaysians online shopping and searching habits during the month of Ramadhan.

Themed as the ‘Riang Ria Raya Survey’, latest data revealed that the top searches online during Ramadhan include home makeover, food recipes, Malay fashion and weight loss. There has been an increase of more than 10% of customers shopping online so far this Ramadhan and an overwhelming majority (83%) of them from the rural areas, further underlining the sustained growth of online shoppers in areas outside of the country’s major urban centres.

It is revealed that customers are getting more in trend as top searches on Google discovered that most of them are looking for Baju Raya moden. The survey also indicates that 90% of online shoppers spend mostly on Raya clothing, as many of them are looking to celebrate the festive season in style. Besides that, new curtains are a top item, as 40% of the shoppers surveyed bought that, as more people look towards decorating their house ahead of the festive season.

Another interesting fact that Lazada has garnered is that close to 50% of the online shoppers start their shopping one to two weeks before Raya, with orders made between 12 midnight to 6am on mobile devices. This showed that shoppers opt to do their last minute Raya shopping at the end of the day when they have the free time to do so and online marketplaces are ultimately the preferred solution.

Three-quarter of the shoppers that shop between 12 midnight to 6am is Gen Y, which is commonly defined as those born between the 1980s to the early 2000s. More than 60% of these shoppers buy using their tablets and smartphones. The top items bought during this “night owl shopping” stretch include ‘Shake N Take Blender’ (ie. hand blenders), power banks and electronic kitchen scales.

In line with these insights, Lazada Malaysia is having the Mega Campaign Sales from 21 – 24 June 2016 with discounts up to 92% on items in all categories such as clothing, electrical appliances, watches, furniture, baby items and many others. This special Mega Campaign Sales for a limited time only on top of the Riang Raya sales that is happening from 7 June to 11 July 2016, a really good time to head to www.lazada.com.my/riang-ria-raya/ and buy the things you've always wanted.

Lazada unveils LazzieChat, an in-house AI chatbot for your shopping needs

If you've been to e-commerce platforms and felt lost, you're not the only one. Searching for what you need isn't always easy, but there are ways to make it easier. For Lazada, artificial intelligence (AI) is the solution.

Recently, Lazada Group announced the addition of LazzieChat to its e-commerce platform. As you may have suspected, this name is a reference to ChatGPT. Lazada has combined ChatGPT with Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service to its platform, resulting in an AI chatbot that can (hopefully) answer your shopping queries. This feature will be accessible to Lazada customers from Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

So, how does it work? Well, LazzieChat works much like ChatGPT. You type prompts or queries into a text box, and the system returns some results. For example, you can search for "top smartphones under RM1500" and see a list of smartphones under that budget. In Lazada's example, LazzieChat provided a basic skincare routine with a list of relevant products.

Although the feature isn't available for Malaysians, we can expect it to be added to Lazada Malaysia eventually. With that said, what do you think about this feature? Are you looking forward to AI-assisted shopping? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

LeBron James spotted wearing what may have been the Beats Studio Buds

As you may know, news comes from all manner of sources. That source could sometimes be celebrities, like Robert Downey Jr. who 'leaked' the OnePlus 8 Pro last year. This time around, we have a professional basketball player doing the honours by leaking some photos on some new Beats earbuds.

LeBron James recently posted some new photos on his Instagram, where he was spotted wearing what seems to be a new pair of TWS earbuds. According to Engadget, this is the unreleased Beats Studio Buds, as the man is known to be a hardcore fan of the brand. The new audio device was first spotted last week, with sources suggesting an imminent launch.

A post shared by LeBron James (@kingjames)

Of course, the photos aren't high-res enough for us to zoom in for a closer look. But the Beats Studio Buds is expected to have a white variant, so this seems to fit. The shape of the device also fits the renders from last week's leak. Since there's an actual unit out in the wild now, we can probably expect more details about it soon.

Mind you, we can't confirm that this is a Beats TWS earbuds, so please take the news with a grain of salt. But based on what you can see, would this be something you'd be interested to buy? Let us know in the comments below! Also, for more news on the latest tech trends and gadgets, stay tuned to TechNave.com.

What's attractive about the phone is its respectable specifications and economical price, check it out below:

The company also stated that the phone can enhance the overall image clarity by 20%, reduce noise by 8% and increase brightness by 20%.

ASUS ZenFone 2 with 4GB RAM and 16GB storage coming soon for $229 (RM970)?

The ASUS ZenFone 2 offers a well balanced mix of style and performance. It is also one of the most affordable 4GB RAM smartphones around with the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML 4GB RAM / 32GB storage version going for RM1199. Quite recently a version with 4GB RAM and 16GB storage has appeared on Amazon and other online resellers for just $229 (RM970). While most of the tech specs and features remain the same with a 5.5-inch FHD display and 13MP PixelMaster rear camera, it looks like this version may have the slightly slower 1.8GHz Intel Atom Z3560 processor rather than the 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor but both are just as powerful. Still no news of any Malaysia release dates for this version of the ZenFone 2 but it could offer a very tempting below RM1K smartphone for the Malaysian masses.


LeEco announces the Pro 3, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821

We have yet to see this brand enter our market, but it doesn't stop LeEco to continue releasing phones that many would want. This is true with the latest model that they announced – the Le Pro 3. This is the company’s latest smartphone, equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC.

Apart from the processor, it will have either 4GB RAM/32GB storage or 6GB RAM/64GB storage. Other specs include a 5.5-inch 1080p display, a 16MP main cam with f/2.0 aperture as well as PDAF and LED flash, an 8MP wide-angle front cam, and a generous 4070 mAh battery that supports USB-C and Quick Charge 3.0.

The phone is expected to be priced at 1799 Yuan (~RM 1119), with the higher end model priced at 1999 Yuan ((~RM 1244). Stay tuned to TechNave for more news and information of the LeEco Pro 3.


LeTV announced the Le 1s for RMB 1099, all metal smartphone + Helio X octa-core, 3GM RAM and more

LeTV, one of China's big media players in the business have announced a new smartphone the Le 1s. LeTV seems to be stepping up their game with this all metal monster phone, priced at RMB 1099 (RM 738.63) in China, with some serious tech specs that includes a:-

The Le 1s is held together by a polished metal frame, not a single screw is in sight on the body so that means there’s probably a unibody build there. Perhaps the most impressive feature is that it can supposedly last for 3.5 hours worth of calling just after five minutes of charging. But that’s not the most jaw dropping news though, LeTV actually claimed to be selling each Le 1s at a loss because the materials all counts up to RMB 1310 (RM 880.44).

Le 1s will be on retail online through LeMail and JD with the first 3 million units scheduled for sale on 3 November 2015. No news on Malaysia release dates but if you should spot it at third party sellers, this could be one smartphone to consider.


LeTV is another smartphone with no bezels but first to pack in USB Type C port

The LeTV is another smartphone with no bezels, something we've already seen with the Sharp Aquos Crystal. However, while the Aquos Crystal had no bezels on the top and sides, the LeTV has no bezels on the sides only. The rounded corners and slim top and bottom bezels give the LeTV a very HTC One-like design and tech specs are quite high-end. These include a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 5.5-inch full HD display, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, dual-SIM support and a USB Type C port. While it does look pretty, we wouldn't know where to hold it, but we're sure that there will be people who will like it. Since LeTV is made by a China company, it is very unlikely that we'll get any Malaysia release dates or local pricing details anytime soon, however rumours indicate that it could be quite affordable but we won't know for sure unless it comes to Malaysia soon (probably through a third-party seller).


League of Legends: Wild Rift mobile game pre-registration is spotted on the Google Play Store

Towards the end of 2019, it was announced that Riot Games were developing a League of Legends (LoL) mobile game. If you missed that, it will be called League of Legends: Wild Rift and our writers have spotted the pre-registration is now live on the Google Play Store. Such exciting times!

Obviously, the game mechanics won't work exactly like the PC version as Riot Games started this mobile game from scratch. If you've played Arena of Valor or Mobile Legends: Bang Bang before, LoL: Wild Rift will be pretty similar. The map will be tweaked for a better mobile gaming experience, so you can also bet that the average game duration will be decreased to 15-18 minutes. We expect the LoL mobile game version will retain many of the popular heroes from the PC version, but probably not all, as the company might plan to release them batch by batch.

At the moment, there is no news about the pre-registration on the Apple iOS platform but we are sure that Riot Games won't want to miss that out. We will be keeping an eye on that so until then, stay tuned for more mobile gaming news at TechNave.com.


League of Legends: Wild Rift's Champion models look more detail than LoL on the PC

Based on a video released by Remus on Youtube, it seems that the Champion models of League of Legends: Wild Rift look much more detailed compared to Summoner’s Rift on the PC. Other than that, the gameplay for the original game and Wild Rift are essentially the same other than small changes such as Recall being only 6 seconds instead of 8, lower max level, and more.

With that said, what are your thoughts on the differences in Champion model for the Wild Rift and Summoner’s Rift? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more update like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.


League of Legends animated series to premiere in Fall 2021 on Netflix

It seems that the League of Legends animated series called Arcane, which was made in collaboration between Riot Games and Netflix will be airing on Netflix’s official website in Fall of 2021. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, we do know that it will be available for viewing globally.

For those who are not familiar, League of Legends is an extremely popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game made by Riot Games in 2009. It garnered more than 45 million peak concurrent viewers during the League of Legends World Champion which took place not too long ago.

With that all being said, would you be interested in watching Arcane as soon as it is available on Netflix? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.

Specifically, OPPO has released a new League of Legends (LoL) edition for the OPPO Reno7 Pro. It comes with a mostly matte black body with light blue and purple accents around the frame. There's also a stylised 'L' emblazoned onto the back of the phone. Inside the box, there's a limited edition Jinx (LoL character) phone case, a 65W charger, two lanyards, and some LoL stickers.

As for the specs, this LoL edition packs a Dimensity 1200 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. It has a 6.55-inch AMOLED display that supports a 90Hz refresh rate, a 50MP Sony IMX766 main camera, a 32MP Sony IMX709 front camera, and a 4500mAh battery. At 3999 yuan (~RM2653), this limited edition has the same price as the regular OPPO Reno7 Pro.

Overall, we'd say it's a good option if you plan to get this model and are a fan of LoL. But what do you think, are special editions like this what you would want? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.


League of Legends is coming to mobile as Wild Rift, Riot Games unveils mobile TFT and card game

Awhile back, there were rumours and whispers about League of Legends coming to mobile and guess what? They’re true! During League of Legends’ 10th Anniversary stream earlier today, they announced the arrival of Wild Rift, which is a mobile version of League of Legends.

As reported before, the game does seem like it needs a degree of skill to play. From what the trailer looks like, skill shots are still an integral part of the game. Each game ranges around 15 - 20 minutes with a dual control design. Which means, 200 IQ outplays without aim assists are definitely possible and needed in order to win games.

The game has been created from scratch instead of porting the original PC game. This is to ensure that the gameplay can be implemented just right as porting from PC could not provide that. The downside to this approach is that not every single champion and skin will be available at launch. Also, the skins you already have on PC would not be able to be transferred over to your mobile account. However, there are a lot of rewards ready for players who have spent time on League of Legends PC.

In addition, 2 other mobile titles from the gigantuan company was also announced. The first one is a card game based on the League of Legends named Legends of Runeterra. What they claim sets this game apart from other mobile/PC card games is the fact that collecting cards will not require too much time and money. Cards can be levelled up in game and can be collected via weekly chests. Of course, you can also buy cards that you want instead of getting many, many packs instead.

The second game announced is the much loved Teamfight Tactics. Currently, the game is PC in the League of Legends client. However, this is set to change as it will be moved to an app of its own and will be brought over to mobile as well. Since the game is very strategy based and very popular, it is not surprising that the game is being brought to mobile, to cater to on-the-go and casual players.

Other than that, Riot Games also shared their plans for PC as well with a FPS shooting game codenamed “Project A”, a League of Legends MMO, a League of Legends fighting game as well as a brand new animated series surrounding the champions of League of Legends which will be debuting next year. Also, we finally get to see Senna in the flesh, revealed as a support marksman for the game.

Riot Games really pulled out all the stops during their 10 year anniversary and it really makes me excited to see how everything will turn out. We may be seeing most these announcements out by next year. What about you? Keep up with the latest mobile gaming news on TechNave.com!


League of Legends maker has confirmed its new FPS game's title and it is called 'Valorant'

First-person shooter (FPS) games will never get old with developers keep instilling new ideas into the game category. Earlier, we’ve heard Riot Games, the maker of League of Legends, is developing its own FPS game, and it was put under a project codenamed ‘Project A’. Now, the 5v5 character-based shooter has gotten an official title and it will be called Valorant.

If you’ve not heard of this news, Riot Games is in the midst of developing a new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive alternative to the FPS category. What makes Riot’s Valorant different is it will be featuring characters that each have their own special abilities to complement the gunplay, be it a superpower or special armour. Other than that, people are also saying that the game is giving a certain Overwatch vibe because of the design.

Sommer 20202020 여름Лето 2020 pic.twitter.com/A7BnCpGhFV

The gameplay video has definitely hyped us showing off the characters' abilities, which one of them has emitted something that looks like Airbending! You can also see the characters are not using any out-of-this-world weapons, and real-life guns are being used instead. According to a source, each gameplay will take around 30 minutes and it can last longer if both teams were on fire!

Through an official press release, Riot has also promised to bring stable gameplay to the players by investing in dedicated 128-tick servers. The developer has also mentioned that they will be fighting off cheaters to ensure fairness among the players from day one. Valorant is going to be globally launched in Summer 2020 and we can’t wait to try it out!

Let us know what you think about the new FPS game from Riot on our Facebook page. Stay tuned to TechNave.com for more viral gaming news.


Leak of 5.4-inch iPhone 12 shows no change to notch

Back in April, there was a rumour that a diagram for an iPhone 12 without a notch was found in the iOS 14 coding. In truth, this is likely for a device Apple has planned next year and not the iPhone 12. Why? Because a new leak shows us that the notch on the iPhone 12's display is the same as the one from last year.

Tipster Digital Chat Station posted a leaked image of the 5.4-inch iPhone 12's display yesterday. As you can see, the thick notch at the top remained mostly the same shape as the one from the iPhone 11. However, this particular 5.4-inch model is going to be very compact and should comfortably fit in one hand. You can probably expect it to be around the size of the iPhone SE 2020.

IPhone 12’s real screen, 5.4-inch bangs full screen, one-handed, isn’t this the small screen flagship you want [笑不语]

There are still a lot of things we don't know about the iPhone 12 series, but a few info have come to light. One of them is the battery capacity, which was rumoured in a recent leak. Allegedly, the base iPhone 12 model will have a 2227mAh battery. It's also supposed to have better autofocus for its rear camera after the change to new mobile camera suppliers. There is also a rumour that Apple may introduce a desktop mode, sort of like Samsung devices with the Samsung Dex.

With the launch of the iPhone 12 series set for September 2020, expect more leaks to appear in the coming weeks. But with that said, do you mind that Apple is maintaining the notch on the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 or would you have preferred it to be notchless?

ASUS has revealed a new premium smartphone in their upcoming ASUS ZenFone 2 range with a version packing in 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Coming under the same ZE551ML codename as the other 5.5-inch display ZenFone 2 smartphones, this new addition will be priced at 9990 NT$ (RM1167). Other tech specs will still include a new 64-bit Intel processor, 4G LTE connectivity and full HD 1080p resolution for the 5.5-inch display. All things considered, this is still a very good price tag for a smartphone with all of these features and tech specs. No news yet if it also comes in a more premium gold or platinum colour but it should be revealed along with the other ZenFone 2 smartphones sometime in April 2015.


Leak of Xiaomi 12's physical back cover seemingly confirms cameras

Late last month, it was rumoured that Xiaomi was getting ready to launch the Xiaomi 12 series on 12 December 2021. There's been plenty of rumours and renders of the new series for a long time. But this time, we seem to have something that may have confirmed the camera module layout.

A new leak on Weibo shows what seems to be the physical back cover of the Xiaomi 12. Based on the leaked image, the Xiaomi 12 has one main camera (wide-angle), ultra-wide-angle camera, macro camera, and an unknown 'pressure relieve valve'. Previously, a render for the device showed the same layout. In other words, we can probably assume that this is indeed the Xiaomi 12.

Besides the camera specs, the Xiaomi 12 is expected to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. There's also rumours that there will be a Xiaomi 12X variant, which will feature the Snapdragon 870 chipset instead. All variants should also have at least 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4600mAh battery.

Of course, a new generation could mean new advancements, so maybe Xiaomi will surprise us with the new models. But so far, it looks like the specs will mostly be as predicted. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for further updates on this.

Leak suggests that an Exynos 2300 chipset could still be in the works

Earlier this week, there was a report claiming that Samsung could stop making Exynos chipsets for the next few years. But it seems the rumour doesn't hold water, as reliable sources are suggesting otherwise. Allegedly, the Exynos 2300 could still be right on track.

According to Roland Quandt, Samsung's next chipset (Samsung S5E9935) bears the codename 'Quadra'. It's believed that this is the Exynos 2300, a chipset that will be paired with next year's Samsung flagship devices. Of course, among them would be the Samsung Galaxy S23 series. This is expected to be a 3nm chipset designed with a new AMD RDNA2-based Xclipse GPU, as well as next-gen ARM CPU cores.

Samsung S5E9935 (next-gen Exynos high-end SoC) codename is "Quadra" (last gen was Pamir).

Regarding the possible suspension of Exynos chipsets, the source suggested that Samsung could have changed tracks in recent weeks. In regards to that, a Samsung representative allegedly announced that no decision has been made yet. As such, the Exynos 2300 could still be in development.

Could the Exynos 2300 revive Samsung's semiconductor business? That remains to be seen, but we'll certainly be keeping an eye out for updates. In the meantime, stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.

But that’s not all, our source also mentioned that the upcoming iPad Pro will come with the reverse wireless charging feature that allows users to charge up their iPhones and accessories such as the AirPods, AirPods Pro, and more. However, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Apple has yet to provide an official statement on the leak.

The ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML remains the only smartphone in the world to have 4GB of RAM and while it isn't the top-notch version packing in 64GB of storage, the 32GB storage version is available in Malaysia from RM1377.

We've already noted that the ZenFone 2 comes with many new features like double tap to wake, a manual mode for the camera and the ZenMotion gesture shortcuts from the standby screen but there could be more.

We can't confirm this just yet though but we'll know more in just a few more weeks as we're going directly to the regional launch on 21 April 2015. No news yet on specific Malaysia release dates or pricing but considering that the initial price was at 8990 NT$ (RM1049) with 6% GST this could become RM1112 when it does come officially to Malaysia.

Leaked CAD drawings of Apple iPhone 14 Pro reveal narrower bezels

Not quite sure if the Apple iPhone 14 will finally move away from notch, but the recent rumours and leaks are definitely persuasive. Until now, new CAD (computer-aided design) drawings of the iPhone 14 Pro have shown up with a cutout that we've seen from earlier reports, alongside narrower bezels compared with its predecessors.

The narrow bezels might be something caused by eliminating the notch. Since there's no notch connecting to the bezel on top, Apple could make the bezels all around the screen smaller. However, we hope that this is real as it should offer users a better viewing experience on the devices.

Furthermore, the iPhone 14 series will bring two sizes, with one having a 6.1-inch display and another being 6.7-inch. This time, all the models might get autofocusing front-facing cameras for the first time in the history of iPhone, but the company would still skip Touch ID and periscope camera. Not only that, but it's also possible for the non-Pro variants to still get the notch instead of the new cutout.

Leaked CAD drawings unveiled a bigger camera module on the notch-less iPhone 14 series

Many rumours about pre-launch smartphones usually don't get a lot of credibilities, but if there's anything about the iPhone, it usually stirs the pot well. Recently, there are some leaked schematics about the iPhone 14 series on Twitter and it tallies with previous rumoured news.

Taken from the forums of Weibo, the unknown leaked CAD drawings that unveiled all four iPhone 14 models, namely the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max and the iPhone 14. If you recall back, these were the speculated new naming schemes.

From the CAD drawings, both the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Max seems to share the same dimensions and this goes the same for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14. However, both the iPhone 14 pro variants have a rather large rear camera model. According to sources, the iPhone 14 pro variants could have an increased lens size by up to 15% and the rear camera space expanding by up to 35%.

It is also speculated that the iPhone 14 pro variants could get a 48MP camera sensor for the first time. Of course, it's not real a 48MP sensor but rather relies on a 12MP sensor that takes advantage of a quad-binning technology as most smartphones do nowadays. Also, one of the images showed a notch-less design which has been a consistent rumour of Apple finally implementing an under-display Face ID and front camera.

Despite this juicy rumour news, we still ought to take it with a pinch of sale but what do you all think of the CAD drawings? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


Leaked DJI Osmo Mobile 4 promo hints that it could come with magnetic mounts

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

ASUS ZenFone 2 with 4GB RAM benchmarked

Currently the only smartphone in the world with 4GB RAM remains the ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML. Featuring a 64-bit 2.3-GHZ quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor and high-end PowerVR Rogue G6430 graphics, quite a lot of people have been interested to see how it performs on the benchmarks. This was on top of earlier benchmarks with the ZenFone 2 ZE550CL which earlier scored 50000+ on AnTuTu. Thankfully, someone has come out with a number of benchmarks and unboxing photos. Unfortunately, it seems to be lower with a score of 47434. However, there could be a reason for this as other benchmarks like 3DMark and Geekbench report very high scores. We assume that the AnTuTu benchmark needs to be updated to run 4GB of RAM tests first before the true potential of the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML can be drawn out. Since Geekbench 3 is already cross platform it doesn't need to be optimized, resulting in a 912 single-core score and 2946 multi-core score places it on par with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and beating the Samsung Galaxy S5. We'll know more when we get a turn at the ASUS ZenFone 2 smartphones, so please wait patiently for the expected release in April 2015.


Leaked Geekbench score suggests Exynos 2200 has a better multi-core performance than the SD 8 Gen 1

Initially, Samsung's Exynos 2200 chipset was supposed to be revealed on 11 January 2022 but it didn't happen due to some reasons. Although there's no official word yet, rumours have it that the chipset could launch together (or not) with the upcoming Galaxy S22 series in early February 2022.

Speaking of the chipset, the Exynos series has been a mixed bag to many particularly the Malaysians. The delay of the Exynos 2200 and its reputation of performance aren't helping a lot in Samsung's favour. Furthermore, the latest rumour was that it may have been replaced by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip for the global market.

But recently, there is new speculation that the Exynos 2200 has a better performance in a multi-core test than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It was reported by some netizens online from the Geekbench database, which saw 3513 points against 3306 points. However, the Exynos 2200 only scored 1019 points in a single-core test, a bit short of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's 1228 points.

We do not know which phone was used for the Geekbench test but it's safe to assume it was probably one of the Galaxy S22 devices. Moreover, the source claimed that the score didn't include the Cortex-X2 ultra-large core, which explains why the previous leaked Geekbench score was so different (691 points for single-core and 3167 points for multi-core) even though it has the same ArmV9 architecture.

Of course, since this is just a rumour, it's best to take this news with a pinch of salt. To refresh your memory, the Exynos 2200 features a 1+3+4 architecture that includes a Cortex-X2 super core clocking 2.59GHz, 3x Cortex-A78 cores at 2.5GHz and 4x Cortex-A55 cores at 1.73GHz.

Leaked Huawei Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 RS Porsche Design and Mate 30 Lite renders appear with dual selfies and more

With just a few more days before the Huawei Mate 30 series launch on 19 September 2019, renders of the Huawei Mate 30, Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Mate 30 RS Porsche Design and Huawei Mate 30 Lite have appeared courtesy of @evleaks. While no actual tech specs or features get mentioned, the renders show off the Huawei Mate 30 with a flat but notched front screen using dual front cameras (one of which we expect could be either a ToF or Time-of-Flight sensor or a depth sensor while the other could go for a 32MP ultra wide angle).

On the back there’s that circular quad rear camera design with what appears to be a long flash above the LED, perhaps a laser sensor or xenon flash, but no sign of any periscope lens. Rumours indicate these could be 40MP + 40MP (ultrawide) + 8MP (telephoto) + ToF sensor. There’s also no rear fingerprint sensor either, so it could mean that Huawei are putting an under-display fingerprint sensor for their normal Mate 30 variant this time around.

The Huawei Mate 30 looks to have practically all the same tech specs and features as the Mate 30 Pro except for the curved edge display

Slightly smaller notch but same 32MP dual front selfie cameras for the Huawei Mate 30?

The back also looks the same, but maybe the MP could be lower?

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a much wider notched front screen but a much sharper dual curved edge than the Mate 20 Pro. While we expect the same dual front cameras and quad rear cameras as the Mate 30 we’re not sure if the screen qualifies as a “waterfall display” or just follows the same as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. The Mate 30 Pro will likely be IP68 dust and water resistance certified due to the splash in the image but there's a rumoured full list here. Since the front notch is wider, we also expect the front cameras to have a 3D infrared sensor for face unlocks in the dark.

The Mate 30 Lite seems to go for a single O-type front camera cutout on the side but it also has quad rear cameras, but this time with no long type flash. There’s also a rear fingerprint sensor and what appears to be the circular hyper optical pattern that previously came on some models for the Mate 20 Pro. The screen is flat here as well.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is likely IP68 water resistant?

From this angle it could be just a bit more curved than usual...

... but this certainly looks like a waterfall display from this angle?

The Huawei Mate 30 Lite will likely be a rebrand of the Huawei Nova 5i or 5T

The Huawei Mate 30 Lite appears to have at least 2 different designs for the back cover

The Mate 30 RS Pro render shows off the same quad rear cameras and long flash above the led flash as the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro, but there’s the usual red or black leather backside as well. There appears to be no front notch at all for the Mate 30 RS Porsche Design though, which could signify either a pop-up or maybe even an under-display front single or dual camera. It’s not the first time Huawei introduced new tech on their RS Porsche Design smartphones, so it wouldn’t come as a complete surprise. There’s also a case with what appears to be a leather strap that turns it into a stand?

Other things to ponder from the renders include what appear to be 5G signal icons for the Mate 30, Mate 30 Pro and Mate 30 RS Porsche Design, implying that these will get the Kirin 990 5G chipset. Of course, this also means there likely won’t be any Mate 30 X either, considering that the Mate 20 X already has a 5G variant. No other tech specs or features were mentioned, but rumours are saying that the new Huawei Mate 30 series will not come with Google apps or the Google Playstore pre-installed, but this shouldn’t be much of a hindrance as you can always side-load them via APK afterwards.

The Huawei Mate 30 RS Porsche Design looks like it won't have any notch, so that means a pop-up? or something else?

That's a rather long stripe on the back, following racing stripes perhaps?

Innovative use of a premium leather strap?

As always with such leaks, do take them with a pinch of salt, but Evan Blass or @evleaks has usually been quite accurate most of the time. Quite obviously, there’s no Malaysia release dates or pricing details, but stay tuned to TechNave.com for all the updates.

For ourselves, we’re thinking the Huawei Mate 30 may actually be the best seller amongst the 3 Mate 30 series, especially if it sells below RM3K as the Mate 20 did when it first came out. What do you think? Which Mate 30 series do you like? For how much? Let us know on our Facebook page and who knows, Huawei Malaysia might be listening in.
