Fake Apple AirPods 3 Are Already Floating About

April 11, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative post on Malaysia.

Frequent analyst of Apple products Ming-Chi Kuo said last month that the AirPods 3 will only enter production in Q3 of 2021. But it looks like that doesn’t stop counterfeits of the thing to break into the market early. Some have already ended up in the hands of consumers, too.

A couple of TikTok videos of the fake Apple AirPods 3 have already shown up on Twitter. And they look pretty much exactly as the images that have shown up online two months or so back. One of the videos even shows it being connected to an iPhone. It is even recognised as the “AirPods 4th generation”, bizarrely enough.

On one hand, it’s probably not all that surprising to find fake products in the wild. Even with unreleased stuff like the AirPods 3, making counterfeits are possible as long as images of them are floating about. But on the other, it is indeed strange than an iPhone recognises it as something that doesn’t officially exist.

At any rate, if you’re in the market for a new pair of TWS buds, definitely beware of counterfeits. And especially if you’re looking for the Apple AirPods 3 specifically, since they’re not actually even made yet, let alone out in the market.

Former Hotel Chefs Teamed Up And Opened This New Cafe After Losing Their Jobs

April 10, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great article on Penang Malaysia.

Things are looking up after all! After changing its status to CMCO, businesses in Penang are healing gradually. Surely the pandemic put a lot of us in a tough spot, but it also teaches us to be more flexible and persistent. Just like these hotel workers who decided to band together and open their own cafe after losing their jobs at the hotel.

New Cafe In Jelutong Serving Local Cuisines, Grilled Food, And More

One wouldn’t say that this cafe had a smooth start. Just a few days after the Mai Cafe’s grand opening, Penang went into MCO 2.0. Leaving this new cafe with very little chance to show the public what they are made of. Now that they are back in business, Mai Cafe is all geared up with loads of food choices for its visitors.

Here, they serve local cuisines, grilled food, western food, and more! You would be surprised to look at their extensive menu considering that they were only established not too long ago. Since most of the chefs were hotel workers they decided to make most of their experiences at the new cafe. The dishes served here are the result of combined ideas between these chefs.

Serving Gigantic ‘Sotong Buncit Nakal’ With Lip Smacking Secret Sauce

Now, this is what you call a feast! This gigantic grilled squid dish is called ‘Sotong Buncit Nakal’ and it is a specialty dish that you can get at Mai Cafe. It can serve up to 4 people and the price ranges from RM30 – RM70. What makes this humongous dish so delicious is its special secret sauce that is poured all over the squid. Not to mention that the soft and bouncy fillings will make you fall in love in an instant.

Facts & Figures: First-ever G28 BMW 330Li M Sport arrives in Malaysia – RM300k

April 10, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A really good post about Penang Malaysia.

Previously only destined for the Chinese market, BMW has now designed the long wheelbase variant of the new 3 Series sedan in right-hand drive orientation. After launching in India and Thailand, the new G28 BMW 3 Series long wheelbase is now available in Malaysia in a single variant.

BMW Malaysia is offering the locally-assembled BMW 330Li M Sport from RM 300,800.00 with 5-years unlimited mileage warranty and free scheduled service.

EXTERIOR

The first-ever BMW 3 Series long wheelbase in Malaysia will be offered with the popular M Sport package. This means the inclusion of the M Sport aerodynamics kit, M badges, and black window surrounds similar to the standard wheelbase variants.

However, the design of the rims is different, together with a rear bumper that surrounds the exhaust outlets in a trapezoidal design. Visible behind the 18-inch wheels are the unpainted standard brake calipers.

Android
  • 18″ M light-alloy wheels in Double Spoke Style 848 M Bicolour with Run Flats
  • M Aerodynamics Package
  • Standard brake calipers
  • Adaptive LED headlamps
  • Welcome light “carpet”
  • Panoramic 2-piece glass roof  

The wheelbase has been stretched by 110 mm, measuring 2,961 mm, which is just 14 mm shorter than the BMW 5 Series. Compared to the Lexus ES which visually looks exceptionally spacious like a long wheelbase car, the ruler only registers a reading of 2,870 mm, or 91 mm shorter than the 330 Li.

BMW says there is a 6 mm increase in overall height on the 330Li M Sport compared to the 330i M Sport. Boot space is rated at 480 litres.

BMW 330Li

INTERIOR

In terms of the additional features for the more spacious back seat, there aren’t any extra toys. However, a massive two-piece panoramic glass roof provides more light into the enlarged cabin. Dimensionally, the legroom for the rear passengers has increased by 42 mm, while headroom is a marginal 4 mm more compared to the 330i M Sport.

  • Dashboard in Sensatec
  • Aluminium Tetragon trim with pearl chrome highlights
  • M Sport steering wheel and foot pedals
  • 12.3-inch fully digital instrument display
  • 10.25-inch touch screen
  • Three-zone automatic air-conditioning
  • 10-speaker HiFi sound system
  • Enhanced ambient lighting (lighting strip at back of front seats)

Upfront, the occupants are treated to a higher quality interior compared to the standard wheelbase variants. The dashboard is now covered in Sensatec with contrast stitching while the switches at doors are in a satin finishing called “Galvanic Embellishers”.

The Malaysian launch of the new BMW 330Li M Sport will also debut the new ‘My BMW App‘ that provides easy access to a wide range of remote services, on-the-go navigation, and e-mobility features. The application will replace the BMW Connected App come July 2021, and is now available for download on both Android and iOS-enabled smartphones.

The first-ever locally-assembled BMW 330Li M Sport can be had in Mineral White or Carbon Black and paired with Vernasca leather upholstery in Mocha with black stitching.

e-mobility

PERFORMANCE

  • Engine: 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder
  • Transmission: 8-speed Steptronic automatic
  • Max Power: 258 hp @ 5,000 rpm to 6,500 rpm
  • Max Torque: 400 Nm @ 1,550 rpm to 4,400 rpm
  • 0 – 100 km/h: 6.2 seconds
  • Top Speed: 250 km/h (limited)
  • Fuel consumption: 6.4 l/100 km

The powertrain of the new BMW 330Li M Sport mirrors the 330i M Sport, which means access to the potent 258 hp output and 400 Nm of torque from the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. Due to the increase in overall mass, the 0 to 100 km/h time for the long wheelbase variant takes a little longer, now registering 6.2 seconds– a 0.4-second delay.  

long wheelbase car

SAFETY

Similar to the 330i M Sport standard wheelbase variant, the new BMW 330Li M Sport is also equipped with the Driving Assistant Package which includes:

  • Front Collision Warning with brake intervention
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Lane Change Warning
  • Rear Cross Traffic Warning and Collision Prevention
  • Reverse camera
  • Six airbags

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review: The Only Smartphone With A Microscope Camera

April 10, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative post on Penang.

OPPO has recently released its latest flagship, the Find X3 Pro, in Malaysia. Being the brand’s most advanced smartphone offering for 2021, expectations are indeed high – especially in regards to its design, performance, and unique features.

ADVERTISEMENT

While last year’s Find X2 was top-tier in terms of hardware, it unfortunately lacked anything out of the ordinary that would set it apart from its competitors. In contrast, the original Find X featured a slide-out camera system for both of its front and rear camera setups – a trendy feature to have at that time, which also contributed to the phone’s sleek design.

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

Seemingly learning from that mistake, OPPO has introduced several new innovations and a neat gimmick to this year’s model. These include a fresh new design, unique camera feature, and the obligatory upgrades in hardware.

Priced at RM4,299 and with so many flagship competitors now already available in both global and local markets, does the OPPO Find X3 Pro have what it takes to stand above the rest? Let’s find out. 

Specifications

cellular telephone

The Find X3 Pro comes with a curved 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 3216 x 1440px, HDR10+ support, an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and an under-display fingerprint scanner. If that sounds all too familiar, that’s because it is actually somewhat similar to last year’s model.

Hardware-wise, you can certainly check all of the required boxes to confirm whether the smartphone qualifies as a flagship device. Onboard is a Snapdragon 888 chipset, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Powering the device is a 4,5000mAh battery with 65W wired and 30W wireless fast charging capabilities.

Design

OPPO Find X3 Pro ReviewViewed from the front, the OPPO Find X3 Pro is without a doubt a premium phone, mostly thanks to the curved display – something considered as a staple for most Android flagship handsets in the market. Situated on top of the screen is the phone’s barely noticeable earpiece, which also acts as one half of its dual stereo speaker system. Continuing from that, the second speaker is located on the right of the middle USB-C port at the bottom of the phone, while on its left is the SIM tray slot.

In typical OPPO design fashion, the lock button is located on the right hand side of the Find X3 Pro and the volume rockers are situated on the opposite side. Those often go adventuring with their smartphones will be glad to know that the new flagship features an IP68 rating in terms of dust and water proofing. 

The backplate of the phone is where things get interesting. As I’ve pointed out prior to this, smartphone designs are in great need of a serious makeover due to the overly repeated use of glass covered rectangular or square camera arrays in almost every release, regardless of phone brand. Thankfully, various makers, including OPPO, have realised this and are beginning to introduce new design approaches to hopefully set their products apart from one another.

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

For the OPPO Find X3, its rear camera array now sports a bump that almost seamlessly blends with the rest of its backplate via a surrounding slope. This gives the phone a sports car-like sleek and smooth design, further enhancing its premium feel. The camera arrangement is now different as well, featuring a left-pointing triangle formation for all of its prominent cameras, which – funnily enough – mirrors the one found on Apple’s iPhone series.

In an interesting move, OPPO offers the flagship in two colour options with different finishings. The Black variant comes with a glossy finish, while the Blue option is instead presented with a metallic matte finish – the latter being my favourite of the two. Regardless of which you choose in the end, the Find X3 Pro can feel a bit slippery when held in one hand. Therefore, I highly recommend using the provided silicone cover (which matches their respective colours) for an added grip.

Surprisingly, unlike its other 2021 competitors, the Find X3 Pro is currently the lightest flagship smartphone among the lot – at least, in my experience. According to OPPO, the phone weighs in at only 193 grams.

User Experience

media consumption

Featuring a high refresh rate and screen resolution, I find that the overall visual experience of the Find X3 Pro’s 6.7-inch display quite satisfying when viewing photos, videos and gaming. Images are sharp and vibrant, scrolling and swiping transitions appear smooth, and typing on screen actually feels very responsive.

Running in the back is OPPO’s Android 11-based ColorOS 11.2 interface, which is pretty straightforward when it comes to user navigation. The inclusion of new animations for unlocking, charging and so on is a nice touch, and the reduced number of preinstalled bloatware is also much welcomed. In an effort to help users with colour vision deficiency, the brand has introduced a new Color Vision Enhancement feature that calibrates the display’s colours to provide them with “the most comfortable display effects.” 

The phone’s dual stereo speaker system actually produces decent audio output. It’s definitely not home theater levels of excellence, but enough to allow you to enjoy watching your favourite TV shows or movies and even gaming. The few downsides of this is that the audio will peak at unbearable levels when set to high levels of volume, and handling the phone in a landscape orientation will throw off the left and right output balance due to how each speaker is positioned.

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

Performance-wise, thanks to the onboard Snapdragon 888 chipset, you can safely expect the OPPO Find X3 Pro to deliver top-notch delivery in terms of multi-tasking, app switching, and especially for gaming. On the highest setting for Mihoyo’s Genshin Impact, the phone is capable of averaging at 60 fps in most cases and would eventually dip down to 50-ish frames in busy locations such as the town square area of Mondstadt. Although, do keep in mind that it does heat up significantly during intense gaming sessions.

For your reference, below are the benchmark scores for the Find X3 Pro on 3DMark and Antutu 3DBench.

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

The Find X3 Pro comes with a 4,500mAh battery, which is a tad smaller than the 5,000mAh capacity featured on some of its rivals. Fortunately, it’s definitely not a slouch when it comes to usage. In my testing, the phone is capable of lasting for more than a day on single charge, and even longer if gaming and media is thrown out of the mix. For my usual daily drive which includes a fair amount of gaming and various media consumption, the OPPO flagship averages at 40% at the end of each day before I retire for the night.

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

When required, you can utilise the included 65W USB-C charger to top-up its battery in almost no time. OPPO claims that the Find X3 Pro is able to charge up about 40% of its battery capacity in just 10 minutes, which isn’t far off from the truth after testing it out. But as with every smartphone with fast charging capability, its advisable to only charge your phone when necessary in order to reduce the risk of battery depreciation.

There’s also the option to activate regular or super power saving modes to further extend battery life. When activating either option, the system will deactivate certain functions and visual elements, as well as reducing the phone’s overall performance to achieve this.

Camera

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

Housed within the Find X3 Pro’s rear bump is a quad-camera setup which consists of dual 50MP sensors for its main and ultra-wide shooters, a 13MP telephoto, and a 3MP microscope camera. The latter being a unique feature and is, so far, only exclusive to the new OPPO flagship.

Featuring a larger sensor and pixel size of 1.0µm, the phone’s main camera is a big leap over its predecessor’s 48MP. Photos taken with the shooter appear more detailed, vivid and sharp – even those shot in low-light environments, although the usual noise-removing “smoothing” effect is still quite apparent in some instances. 

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

Speaking of low-light photography, images shot in near darkness actually retain a good amount of detail even without relying on the phone’s Night Mode. Having the feature activated, on the other hand, would only improve quality in terms of brightness but that’s pretty much it. And, as expected, the phone’s autofocusing ability would continuously struggle when trying to capture a particular subject in such conditions.

Featuring the same 50MP sensor, the Find X3 Pro’s ultra-wide shooter produces equally spectacular results as its main camera. To further complement it, OPPO introduced an improved algorithm which reduces (but not entirely eliminates) warping effects that are usually noticed in photos shot on ultra-wide. It’s one of those extras that isn’t entirely crucial, but its availability is appreciated nonetheless.

Main camera (1x).

5x zoom (hybrid).

The phone’s telephoto camera is actually pretty good to an extent, but it is nothing to write home about. This is mainly because it is only capable of optically zooming in at only 2x and going into 5x will activate hybrid zooming. Anything more than that (which maxes out at 20x) is done digitally, resulting in photos that look like oil paintings – caused by the camera software’s noise reduction feature.

Finally, we have the star of the show: the microscope camera. It is currently the only shooter on a mobile phone that is able to magnify up to 60x, enabling it to capture the tiniest (no pun intended) of details that are not visible to the human eye.

Is this feature practical? Well, the answer to that is a resounding “no”, but its inclusion does open up to new photography possibilities and it is pretty fun to play around with. However, as with most gimmicky features, the novelty does wear off after a while.

media consumption

Mondstadt

For videos, the Find X3 Pro can only record up to 4K footage at a maximum of 60fps. Which is  quite surprising, as its competitors are already capable of capturing 8K videos. That being said, its absence on the OPPO flagship isn’t entirely a dealbreaker for the general consumer, especially the fact that not many actually own TVs or displays that are capable of displaying 8K resolution or greater.

Competition

Now that we’ve entered the month of April in the year 2021, the number of flagship smartphones competing against the OPPO Find X3 Pro have increased – especially those that also feature the Snapdragon 888 chipset. In the interest in fairness, I will only mention the flagships that are currently available or are confirmed to be released in Malaysia. That being said, gaming smartphones are considered in a category of their own, therefore I won’t be including models such as the ASUS ROG Phone 3.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra hands on

If you recall from our previous coverage of the Mi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi’s high-end flagship features some similar specifications as the Find X3 Pro in terms of SoC, memory configurations and IP rating – hence why I picked this model over the standard variant for this segment. Differences include the phone’s larger screen size at 6.81-inches, 40MP selfies camera, larger 5,000mAh battery capacity, and faster 67W charging speed for both wired and wireless approaches.

Meanwhile on its back is a 50MP Samsung GN2 which features an even larger pixel size at 1.4µm. Accompanying it are dual 48MP sensors for its ultra-wide and telephoto cameras. Also not forgetting the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra’s unique feature: a secondary 1.1-inch AMOLED display on its back.

Surprisingly, the latest Xiaomi flagship shares the same price as the Find X3 Pro, which is at RM4,299. However, the phone will only arrive in Malaysia on 23 April.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

The only non-Snapdragon 888 device in the list, but still a popular competitor flagship smartphone nonetheless. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is equipped with a curved 6.8-inch display with 120Hz refresh rate, and a resolution of 1440 x 3200 px. Under its hood is an Exynos 2100 chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and a maximum configuration of 512GB for its internal storage. Powering the phone is 5,000mAh battery, but with a slower charging speed of just 25W via USB-C and 15W via wireless.

Situated on its stylish rear camera array is a quad camera setup consisting of a 108MP main shooter with a pixel size of 0.8µm, a 10MP periscope with 10x optical zoom, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor. Housed in a punch-hole cutout in its main display is a 40MP selfie camera.

In terms of price, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra comes in with a very hefty tag at RM5,299 for the 12GB + 256GB configuration. Meanwhile, the beefier 16GB + 512GB version is priced at RM5,899.

Conclusion

OPPO Find X3 Pro Review

All in all, the OPPO Find X3 Pro isn’t the purest thoroughbred of the bunch. But its solid performance in the display and internal hardware department, as well as its refreshing design deservingly earned it a spot among the top 2021 flagship offerings thus far.

Its unique selling point, the microscope camera,  is nothing more than just a gimmick at the end of the day. However, it does make room for some fun and interesting photo opportunities which are not offered by any other smartphone of its class.

Indeed, the premium price tag makes the Find X3 Pro a tough smartphone to recommend. But if you’re looking for a straightforward handset with a sleek design, incredibly light weight, exceptional hardware performance and a fun imaging setup; then seriously consider this new OPPO flagship.

Sungai Pinang’s new neighborhood park is expected to complete by next month

April 9, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great article about Malaysia.

taman-areca-sungai-pinang-7

The soon-to-be completed three-acre neighbourhood park at Lebuh Sungai Pinang 7, near to the popular seafront Karpal Singh Drive, is set to be a glowing attraction soon.

Situated near a river, the RM1.5 million project may see mangrove trees, which are closely associated with fireflies, be planted near the riverbank to attract the insects.

If this effort materialises, the park will be another tourist gem in Penang for local and foreign visitors who will be amazed by magical sights of the fireflies twinkling among the tree branches.

Speaking to Buletin Mutiara during an interview session recently, Sungai Pinang assemblyman Lim Siew Khim revealed that this emerging attraction would be a new spot for Penangites and tourists to spend their leisure time with their families.

“We are still in the midst of working out such an initiative for the betterment of the people. It is also in line with our Penang2030 vision that is ‘A Family-Focused Green and Smart State that Inspires the Nation’.

“Besides that, this park also adopts the Gender Responsive and Participatory Budgeting (GRPB) approach.

“At present, the park is nearly completed and is only left with the final touches to be carried out by the contractor. It is scheduled to be completed within a month.

“The project concept was put forward in October 2019. It is our aim to turn the open space into an urban neighbourhood park.

“It is really a good effort from the state to increase recreational facilities,” she said after visiting the site.

Previously, the discussion on setting up the neighbourhood park at Lebuh Sungai Pinang 7 was held with the local residents as well as for their feedback.

Lim added that residents lauded the move to build a public park for them.

“Currently, we are still finding an amicable solution to the parking spaces nearby the park, which can be utilised by the park-goers and residents,” she said.

Gen-Ki Canteen 元氣食堂 @ Greenlane, Penang.

April 9, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great post on Penang.

The location of Gen-Ki Canteen 元氣食堂 is slightly off the beaten track… it can be found almost at the end of Greenlane, at the entrance to Island Glades. The place occupies a prominent spot- a bungalow unit in fact at a stone’s throw distance away from Shell Petrol Station Greenlane. The offering is fairly complicated but we could tell that the menu consists a mixture of locals’ favorites (noodles and rice dishes) with a handful of Toasts options. While the place offers a rather comfortable space to dine-in (fully air-conditioned), the prices are quite steep given the serving portion. More like a place for novelty experience in our opinion.

The Signature Hokkien Mee is probably one of the best sellers on the menu. We had the basic one at Rm 9.90 per bowl and it was…. basic. While we must agree that it was a decent Hokkien Mee (discernible Prawn flavor with a hint of Porky notes), the portion was small. Adding salt to the wound, we instantly regretted for ordering their Wolfberry Chicken Mee the moment we found out that the noodle type was in fact, instant noodles (pre-cooked noodles). While there were bits of fresh Cabbage, there were only 3 measly pieces of Chicken and could not justify the price of Rm 16.90 (not to mention that the serving bowl was a palm-sized bowl). To fill our tummies further, we also ordered a side of their Genki Roti Bakar Special- which was basically Toasts sandwiching an Omelette, bits of Bacons, a sliver of Cheese and a piece of Luncheon Meat… pretty straight-forward and imaginable flavor combo. Fortunately, their Genki Ice Blended Red Bean was good, at least it was served in a standard serving with generous amount of Red Beans. While we could not find fault with the taste, we just thought the meal was way too over-priced… especially the Instant Noodle dish at Rm 16.90.

Porsche did 300 km/h non-stop in the new 911 GT3 for 5,000 km, only stopping for fuel

April 9, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great article about Penang Malaysia.

Two months ago, Porsche revealed the new 911 GT3 to the world but only now have they revealed the juicy secrets from behind that iconic shell.

Underneath that massive rear wing, which in itself is an engineering marvel, is a 4.0-litre naturally-aspirated engine with 510 hp and 470 Nm, and a 9,000 rpm redline!

What they did not reveal at launch was that the engine, which is based on the 911 GT3 R race car, had undergone more than 22,000 hours of testing, running full throttle for most of the time.

Porsche also revealed that the engine held up and performed flawlessly as it was driven consistently at 300 km/h for 5,000 km continuously on an oval track in Italy. The car only stopped for fuel.

As for the swan-neck rear wing, its angle can be adjusted to four different positions, like the front diffuser. According to Porsche, it allows the new 911 GT3 to generate 50% more downforce than the previous model at 200 km/h.

In the most extreme setting, the rear wing can generate more than 150% extra downforce compared to its predecessor.

Car classifications

“We developed the aerodynamics of the new 911 GT3 in around 700 simulations. We spent more than 160 hours fine-tuning the car in the wind tunnel,” explains Porsche aerodynamics engineer, Mathias Roll.
