A new study discovered that many people would check their phones automatically without realizing

Are you addicted to your smartphone? In this modern era where almost everyone has one for work and play, it's hard to tell if one is really addicted. To answer that, a recent study was carried out by the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and here are the results.

According to the research, it seems that the answer is a resounding yes. Out of 1130 participants, it recorded that 89% of them interact with their phones even when they didn't need to, whereas the rest would only respond to an incoming alert. The study even compared this behaviour similar to smokers, where participants would check their phones automatically.

The research also listed out the top 6 reasons why people would automatically check their phones. WhatsApp is at the top with 22%, followed by checking for notifications at 17%, surfing through Instagram and Facebook at 16% and 13% respectively, checking emails at 6% and finally, checking calls at 1%. It was noted that checking emails was the most important notification out of all the categories.

The participants considered group chats to be a "source of distress" which is understandable in these trying times, although they also said that most of the messages are usually not important. They were also equipped with a webcam on their heads for research purposes and realized that they automatically checked their phones more than they should.

Strangely, mobile games aren't part of the equation but it's most likely because this study was conducted in the UK, Germany, and France. Mobile gaming is more popular in the East after all and it would be highly intriguing to conduct this study in Malaysia as well. But what about you? Do you also regularly check your smartphone automatically? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

Get a Samsung Galaxy Smartphone with One Month Free Instalment payment at Senheng and senQ

Welcome back to another edition of Senheng and senQ promotion. This time around, Samsung Galaxy smartphones are in the spotlight and if you're the type that prefers Instalment Plans, you're in the right place so here's the deal - for every purchase of a Samsung Galaxy device by using a credit card Instalment Plan (IPP) or AEON Easy Payment Scheme, you will be entitled to a one-month free Instalment payment!

This campaign duration has already started and will end on the last day of May 2018. In case you're wondering, the Samsung devices that are eligible for this are the Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S9 / S9+, Galaxy S8 / S8+ and the Galaxy A8+. Also, you're probably wondering if there's any catch behind this one-month free promo, so here's where we explain how it works.

The promotion is calculated from the selected model's price (exclusive of interest) then divided to 12 months. So let's say if you're getting the Note8 at RM3999, with your Citi Bank IPP of 12-months, you can purchase the Note8 for RM3665. Nice right? The math here is RM3999 - RM334 (the device that was divided to 12-months), then from there, your monthly IPP Instalment will be just RM305.42 x 12 months.

There are some ground rules for this, though. First, 50% of the purchase value must be paid by Credit Card IPP or AEON Easy Payment Scheme. It's also open for customers who wish to go for a higher tenure instalment plan for more than 12 months. This means 12, 18, or even 24 months and if you do, the one-month free instalment payment remains unchanged. However, if you want to do be below 12 months, this will not be allowed.

On top of that, Senheng and senQ also offer other benefits besides that which include:

Sounds good? If you're down with that, you can now head over to either Senheng or senQ's website and start purchasing your dream Samsung Galaxy device. Stay tuned for more local tech news at TechNave.com.

A new vivo S series smartphone could be coming soon in August 2020

This phone is the vivo S1 Pro for illustration purpose

It's been a while since we heard of the vivo S series. In fact, the last time that they launched the vivo S1 Pro was during December 2019 in Malaysia. Now according to the latest rumours, the company is planning to release another new model next month called the vivo S7.

Wait a minute, what's with the big number jump? Well, it's all about marketing and vivo's last S series model was the S6 Pro 5G which was only exclusive in China. On the Weibo forum page and Twitter, a leakster known as Digital Chat Station claimed that the company is probably going to release another S series model with a "new" pixel breakthrough. At the same time, he also remarked how the company is just pumping out a new device every month with a tired-looking emoji eating a watermelon (lol).

The vivo S series is about to be updated, probably next month. The front pixel has a breakthrough, the blue factory is now a new machine every month and month [Eating melon]

In terms of tech specs, the information is pretty scarce so there's barely anything we know. But if we were to look at the S6 Pro, there's a good chance that the vivo S7 will continue carrying an Exynos chipset. Of course, 5G connectivity is probably on board and with the so-called "new" pixel breakthrough, it's very likely to go above 48MP for the main camera sensor. Who knows, it might actually be 108MP just like every other new phones nowadays.

There's little evidence that the new S7 model will come to Malaysia but we shall see. Until then, stay tuned for more trending gadget news at TechNave.com.

A new vivo V9 promotion spotted, showing a front top notch and 24MP front camera confirmed

Guess who's the latest smartphone manufacturer to join the notch design? That will be vivo and for some reason, the Chinese tech-company has started to promote its unreleased phone - the vivo V9. We have no idea where was this picture taken but if we had to guess, it could be from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

We also don't have any idea why vivo is skipping the 8 for the name, as the number 8 is usually one of the luckiest numbers in Chinese culture. But if there's one thing we can confirm for sure, it's that the design will surely have a top notch and it should also feature the under display fingerprint sensor technology. The billboard advertisement also confirms that the front-facing camera is a 24MP sensor.

Rumours also have it that the release date could be somewhere in March, but it should probably be released in China first, as well as carrying a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset. Are you looking forward to the all-new V9 selfie smartphone? Stay tuned for more vivo news at TechNave.com.
