techENT Download || FCC Bans HUAWEI & ZTE

Video Leave a comment

In this week’s TechENT Download, we see a whole lot happening including things going back to normal when it comes to Malaysia with more measures being relaxed and the techENT team heading back to our offices.

ASUS has also been busy releasing many laptops including new additions to the ZenBook series as well as a new ExpertBook B9 which is powered by Intel’s vPro processors. The ASUS VivoBook S series also got 2 new entries bringing more colour and functionality.

Telcos in Malaysia are extending their 1GB of free data to everyone with no time limitations. Subscribers can redeem their 1GB via their respective apps.

HUAWEI and ZTE face more problems as the American Federal Communications Commission goes on the record saying that they pose a threat to national security and privacy. This new development comes after more than a year of sanction placed against the companies by the current U.S. Administration. The new move will be hurting HUAWEI and ZTE’s 5G business as more countries take the notion seriously. What does this mean for smartphones?

Video Leave a comment

In this week’s techENT Download weekly round-up we had a crazy time disseminating pieces of mid-range smartphone launches. One of the most anticipated one is Xiaomi finally revealing their Redmi Note 9 series packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G System on a Chip (SoC).

The Xiaomi Redmi device is not yet reaching the local shores though. Meanwhile realme updates their realme 6 line-up with a variant packing 8GB RAM and 128GB in storage. Just a little while later, they revealed that the realme 6 Pro is also coming to market.

On a different segment though, DJI launched a successor to the very successful and very loved DJI Mavic Air. They launched the new DJI Mavic Air 2 which looks like a squished down version of a DJI Mavic Pro drone. Still, it comes with a bigger sensor that also records at 4K resolution at 60 fps. All this while being cleverer and with a range of 10km and longer flight time on a single charge.

techENT Download || Attractive Pricing for a New Apple iPhone, a New OnePlus Flagship, and another realme smartphone for Malaysia.

Video Leave a comment

In this week’s techENT Download weekly news round-up, we have the two biggest names in tech. The two names are Apple and Google. They are also on the same page this time. Apple and Google, this time is collaborating on a very special project. They are developing a new API based tech for contact tracing. That also means that health institutes and governments could benefit by zeroing down on patient zero or sources of outbreaks in clusters.

That is not all that Apple did last week though, they launched a new iPhone last week too. It is the new Apple iPhone SE, a recycled name with new hardware. You go back to a 4.7-inch display and a fingerprint sensor. Inside though, you get a powerful A13 Bionic System on a Chip (SoC).

Speaking of powerful though, OnePlus launches their brand new 2020 flagship – the new OnePlus 8 series. The OnePlus 8 Pro packs Qualcomm’s most powerful Snapdragon 865 SoC. It also comes with a very familiar 6.7-inch 120Hz QHD+ display and a 48-Megapixel triple camera arrangement.

If you are not up for something so upmarket though, there is the realme 6i that just launched in Malaysia for MYR 699 onward. While not the most premium name or pricing, you still get plenty of power from a MediaTek Helio G80 Octa-core SoC and quad-cameras. Also, you get a large 5,000mAh battery that should last you a day and more.

All this in this week’s techENT Download!

Video Leave a comment

Last week, a few interesting happened in tech. While most has to do with the COVID-19 development and fight, there were a few new interesting products too. For one, the long-awaited HUAWEI P40 series makes Malaysian debut in the week. There are only two variants currently though – the standard HUAWEI P40 and the HUAWEI P40 Pro. The HUAWEI P40 Pro+ is, as touted, coming way later. Prices start from MYR 2,799 and you can already pre-order the devices on HUAWEI’s website and Lazada until the 10th April 2020. Alongside that is the HUAWEI MatePad Pro that was announced a little over a month ago. Malaysia is currently only getting one variant of it though (8GB + 256GB). You can also pre-order them now at MYR 2,399. The flagship smartphone and tablet will start shipping from the 11th of April 2020. Of course, if you pre-order, you get more HUAWEI exclusive stuff from HUAWEI too.

There were some new notebook PCs that is supposed to arrive in the market sometime later this year too. The 10th Generation Intel Core processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX SUPER equipped notebook PCs break cover. So many of them at the same time; there are some from ASUS, from Acer, from Lenovo, and from MSI. The most expensive we have seen so far is the MSI GS66 stealth at up to MYR 16,000.

Back on the topic of COVID-19, the world is focused at, not only in treating the disease, but also coping with the quarantine and helping the front liners. We have the #VentilatorChallengeUK that was answered by many private conglomerates in the region including Formula 1 teams. At the same time, plenty are taking advantage of the situation. So, we all must do our parts and be careful.

techENT Download – We Are Stuck at Home Folding Smartphones, and There is a New PlayStation Coming!

Video Leave a comment

In this week’s techENT download, things are a little bleak with the COVID-19 situation. We had to close our office because the government has issued a Movement Control Order which limits our travels in and out of the house. That also means that we have to start working from home full time. As of yesterday’s announcement, it is going to be the situation until the 14th of April 2020.

Still, we are optimistic and will still bring you the latest in tech. In that regards, there are a couple of smartphone launches within Malaysia itself. The two most interesting ones are the foldable devices coming into the Malaysian smartphone market fold. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and HUAWEI Mate Xs is officially available in Malaysia now. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is available in participating stores at MYR 5,888. The Huawei, on the other hand, is now available online and you can get your hands on your own unit for MYR 11,111. You can choose between a delivery or pick up at your favourite HUAWEI store; though the latter option might be handy way later.

The OPPO Find X2 Pro is finally in Malaysia for MYR 4,599. The OPPO Find X2 Pro was also one of our most anticipated smartphone to come into the market. At the same week, HMD Global (Nokia) announced what seems to be the most affordable 5G ready smartphone in the world with the Nokia 8.3. They also brought back XpressMusic with their the ‘new’ Nokia 5310.

Beyond that we also saw the Sony PlayStation 5. No, there are no product renders, or even a reveal of the device. It was just a reveal of the specifications of the PlayStation 5. It is just slightly less powerful than the Microsoft Xbox Series X. There is one thing extra on the PlayStation though, and that is called the ‘Tempest’ 3D audio engine.

techENT Download | OPPO Find X2, Realme C3, BlackShark 3, More COVID-19 news and even more tech!

Video Leave a comment

In this week’s Download weekly round-up we have the Realme C3, Realme 6 series, the BlackShark 3 series, and the OPPO A31. We are expecting to see the OPPO Find X2 as soon as Tuesday, so stay tuned to that.

The Realme C3 is Realme’s 2020 answer to the fast growing entry-level smartphones market. It is sold for MYR 499 and packs all the basic goodies to make it a smartphone. The Realme 6 series launched in India but we are expecting to make an appearance in Malaysia pretty soon. Same goes to the extravagance that is the Black Shark 3 series. The Black Shark 3 is a quite a recipe though with pop-up triggers and Qualcomm’s super powerful Snapdragon 865 SoC.

Oppo has launched their entry level MYR 699 OPPO A31 in Malaysia as well. That would be accompanied by the OPPO Find X2 flagship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC pushing the 120Hz 2K display. Even the camera set-up looks impressive, even if it is just three lenses instead of four or five.

Meanwhile, COVID19 shuts down more than just MWC. Microsoft MVP, Facebook F8, Adobe Summit, Google Next Cloud, and Google I/O has all been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. Computex is still happening though currently.
