The new series of smartphones was unveiled by Honor during two-day launch event in China, which also showcased MagicOS 7.0. Leading the pack are the vanilla Honor 80 and more premium Honor 80 Pro variants. The Honor 80 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch, 120Hz curved OLED display with 2700×1224 resolution. A highlight of the device is the 160MP main shooter, enhanced with Honor’s Image Engine software. The revamped software features upgraded AI RAW algorithms, scene optimizations, skin texture detection and even AI Vlog mode. The other modules on the back are a 50MP ultrawide and 2M depth module. The front camera is a 50MP selfie camera with secondary 2M depth module. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, though it appears to be a slightly underclocked version as reported by GSMArena.

The standard Honor 80 variant sports a slightly smaller 6.67-inch OLED display with 2400×1080 resolution with 120Hz refresh rate. It has the same 160MP main shooter and 2M depth module but with a lesser 8MP secondary module. The selfie camera is also of a lesser resolution with 32MP. It is powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 782G SoC and like the Honor 80 Pro, runs on MagicOS 7.0 based on Android 12 out of the box. Both Honor 80 and Honor 80 Pro comes with 4800 mAh batteries and with fast 66W wired charging. They will be available in four color options; Blue Wave, Pink Morning Glow, Jade Green and Bright Black. And for storage options, both devices will be available in three combinations; 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM, 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM and 12GB + 512GB ROM.

Honor has also announced the Honor 80 SE as a budget entry for the series. It sports a 6.67-inch curved 120Hz OLED display with FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080. The main camera is a toned-down 64MP main with 5MP ultra-wide module and 2MP macro triple-camera. It will still sport a 32MP selfie camera as seen in the Honor 80. Instead of a Snapdragon SoC, it comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 900 but still runs on MagicOS 7.0 out of the box. It also packs a 4600mAh battery with 66W charging and only comes in two memory configurations; 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM and 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM. The device will also be available in four colors; Moonlight Crystal, Iceland Fantasy, Cherry Pink Coral and Bright Black.

At the moment, there is no official word on release dates and pricing for the Honor 80 series outside of China. Based on the prices on the Honor official website, TechNave has estimated the prices as follows; Honor 80 starting at RM1727, Honor 80 Pro starting at RM2237 and Honor 80 SE starting at RM1535.

No more bad angles with magnetic mount design

In its launch video, Logitech has promised that customers can “Be your best self every video call” with the Brio 500 series webcams. Perhaps the most unique feature is the “Show Mode”. The “Show Mode” allows you to share your desk by simply tilting the webcam. Logitech has improved the mount design to accommodate this movement. The webcam attaches to the mount magnetically and clamps onto your monitor with an adjustable foot lined with microsuction tape. The mount also has a round attachment point to the webcam. This makes it easy to turn the camera horizontally to get the best recording angle for your video call.

Better video and audio for video calls

Logitech’s Brio 500 series offers 1080p video calls with a bonus of improved lighting and framing. The new webcams come with Logitech’s latest RightLight 4 technology which automatically corrects lighting in both over lit and poorly lit scenarios. RightLight 4 also performs auto-framing, helping the camera stay centered on you. This is particularly helpful in situations where movement is required such as presentations. To access RightLight 4 and other “advanced meeting experiences”, Logitech requires the download of their Logi Tune software for free. On top of these features, the Brio 500 also has AI-based face image correction for greater clarity during video calls. As for audio, the webcam has dual microphones with beamforming noise-reducing technology. This offers greater call clarity and is capable of capturing your voice even when you move around in front of the webcam.

Other features and pricing

Acer Introduces Two New Vacuums to acerpure Line-Up

Leave a comment

Acer’s acerpure line up has been one of the more eye-opening announcements from the laptop and systems company in the past few years. The new line-up comes with tech products no one saw them releasing such as air purifiers. However, it seems like the indoor air quality and cleanliness lineup is here to stay with the announcement of two new entries: the acerpure clean V1 and the acerpure clean V1 lite.

The two devices expand the acerpure brand to cover vacuums. Both are handheld, portable vacuums built for different usage scenarios. The acerpure clean V1 is a larger handheld vacuum. It has a suction force of 23,000 Pa power by cyclone suction technology. The V1 has a five-stage filtration technology that traps dirt as small as 0.3 microns – a fraction of the width of the human hair! Speaking of hair, the V1 won’t allow your hairs to get tangled while cleaning with its independent, power efficient motor which prevents tangles from happening.

The acerpure V1 is versatile and can work on multiple surfaces such as curtains, windows, tables and fans with its quick-switch 2-in-1 brush. You’ll be able to clean in smaller, hard to reach nooks and crannies with the crevice nozzle while you’ll be able to reach hard to reach places with the extensible tube. You’ll even be able to see the stray dustbunnies get caught with the 4 built-in LED lights. Acer claims that the acerpure Clean V1 is able to eliminate up to 99.9% of mites too.

The vacuum comes with a 2,500mAh battery which gives it up to 60 minutes of usage time. The Clean V1 comes with three modes – daily mode, turbo mode and energy saving mode to suit your cleaning needs. The vacuum only weighs 1.5kg.

The more compact acerpure V1 Lite is designed to clean small, hard to maneuver places like a backpack, a handbag or even a drawer. Made for convenience, the smaller, lighter V1 Lite comes with up to 13,000 Pa suction. It also comes with a specially designed brush that allows you to angle into hard to reach places and a 2-in-1 briush for versatility. It’s only 550g and charges via a USB-C port.

Pricing & Availability

The new acerpure clean line up will be available starting from 12 December 2022 via the online acer store, Lazada, Shopee and its retail partners. The acerpure clean V1 will be priced at MYR1,299 while the V1 Lite will be priced at MYR599.

In conjunction with the big 12.12 sale, Acer Malaysia will be selling the vacuums at discounted prices. The acerpure Clean V1 will be available for MYR1,099 with a special bundle which includes the V1 Lite for free. On the other hand, the acerpure V1 Lite will be available for MYR369 with a free Acer Day mug.

CGTN: Infrastructure, vaccines and space: China-Arab sci-tech cooperation

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Dec. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China-Arab cooperation in the fields of infrastructure, space and health has been continuously developed in a sustainable manner.

China has vowed to accelerate the development of the China-Arab inter-governmental science and technology innovation cooperation mechanism.

The country will implement more partner projects, and continue to improve the sci-tech capabilities of Arab states.

Lusail Stadium: first China-built World Cup venue

Lusail Stadium, the main venue for this year’s World Cup, was constructed with China Railway Construction Corporation as the main contractor.

Shaped like a date palm bowl or an enamel lantern, the stadium will host the World Cup final, scheduled for December 18.

It is the first time a Chinese company has built a World Cup venue, which is featured on the new 10-riyal banknote of Qatar.

“The Lusail Stadium is by far the world’s largest, most advanced and most complex professional football stadium built to FIFA standards,” Li Chongyang, head of the Chinese side of the engineering team, told the China Media Group (CMG).

Lusail Stadium, which can host 80,000 spectators, shows Chinese enterprises’ technical capabilities and service levels, Hassan Al Thawadi, secretary general of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy for 2022 FIFA World Cup, told CGTN.

China-UAE joint vaccines projects

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) helped China with the clinical trial of its COVID-19 vaccine and later established localized production lines.

In 2020, the UAE approved registration of an inactivated vaccine developed by China’s Sinopharm.

“The UAE was the first country to approach a Chinese vaccine,” Ali Obaid Al Dhaheri, the UAE ambassador to China, told CGTN. “The production facility can produce 200 million doses per year. The vaccine is not for the UAE, not for China, but for the rest of the world.”

Space cooperation

China is pushing forward space cooperation with countries participating in the BRI.

China and Saudi Arabia signed a memorandum of understanding on March 16, 2017, sharing the scientific data in space cooperation.

The two then jointly unveiled three lunar images acquired through cooperation on the relay satellite mission for Chang’e-4 lunar probe, according to the China National Space Administration.

In 2018, the China-Arab States BDS/GNSS Center, the first overseas center for China’s indigenous Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), was inaugurated in Tunisia. BDS-related cooperation expanded to more Arab states in 2021 as they agreed to implement more pilot projects.

In addition, Kuwait’s national satellite team looks forward to cooperating with China.
