OPPO Reno6 Series Officially Launches In Malaysia; Price Starts From RM 1699

August 6, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great article on Penang.

As per its announcement last month, OPPO today has finally launched its new Reno6 smartphones in Malaysia. The new series consists of two models, the Reno6 5G and the more affordable Reno6 Z 5G, which are slated to go on sale much later in August 2021.

It turns out that the Malaysian Reno6 series differs in terms of specifications from versions that were launched in India, albeit sharing the same designs. For the local release, the Reno6 packs a 5G-enabled Mediatek Dimensity 900 chipset, while the Reno 6 Z is equipped with a Dimensity 800U 5G SoC. Both devices come with a RAM capacity of 8GB and an internal storage size of 128GB, as well as featuring OPPO’s RAM Expansion technology which allows you to convert up to 5GB of storage into an equivalent amount of RAM.

Display-wise, the duo sports the same 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with 90Hz refresh rate and up to 120Hz touch sampling rate. Meanwhile, housed within a punch-hole cutout on the top left corner of the display is a 32MP selfie camera.

Another differentiating factor between the two devices are their battery capacities. The OPPO Reno6 comes with a 4,300mAh battery, whereas the Reno6 Z model features a slightly larger 4,310mAh capacity. Additionally, featured on the former is a fast charging speed of 65W via SuperVOOC 2.0, while the latter instead features a lower 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 capability.

In the camera department, both the Reno6 and Reno6 Z are equipped with the same triple camera setup which consists of a 64MP main shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide angle, and a 2MP macro sensor. However, featured exclusively on the former is a Color Temperature sensor that aids the camera system to produce accurate colours in every shot.

The new OPPO Reno6 5G and Reno6 Z 5G are priced at RM 2,399 and RM 1,699 respectively. Pre-orders for these devices are available starting today until 13 August 2021 via the brand’s official physical stores and website, authorised dealers, telco partners, E-comm partners, and chain store partners.

It’s also worth noting that pre-ordered purchases are entitled to free gifts while stocks last. These include a unit of OPPO Enco Buds (worth RM159), 1 Year HeyTap Cloud Service with 1 TB Storage Space (worth RM343), a powerbank (worth RM99), Smart Tag (worth RM79) and a bluetooth speaker (worth RM99), as well as a RM 30 Shopee voucher. Meanwhile, My OPPO App members may also redeem a limited offer of RM100 promo code for the OPPO Reno6 series.

Logitech Debuts New Zone True Wireless Earbuds For Professionals; Retailing At US$ 299

August 4, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An interesting post on Penang.

Logitech has unveiled its new Zone True Wireless Earbuds, which are designed with business professionals in mind. On top of functioning as regular earbuds, the company emphasised that the new product is also optimised for video conferencing – evident by the certification it has received by three major players in the field: Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.

The company says that the earbuds design approach is aimed to give professionals a more presentable appearance during conferencing, as opposed to the more “call center” like look when donning over-ear headsets. But despite being offered as an alternative, it appears that Logitech isn’t pulling any punches from adding some premium-tier features to the new Zone True Wireless either.

Its fancy design aside, the earbuds come with active noise cancelling (ANC) capabilities, along with noise cancelling microphones to ensure for clear sounding calls. Connectivity is where things get interesting for the Zone True Wireless. Aside from featuring multipoint Bluetooth capability that enables you to switch between multiple devices, it also comes with the option to connect to certain platforms via a USB-A or USB-C receiver. Logitech did not detail if there are any differences in terms of latency between these different modes of connection.

As for battery life, the company claims that the Zone True Wireless Earbuds are able to last up to seven hours with ANC activated, and up to 12 hours with it off. Meanwhile, the included charging case can provide the buds an additional 17 or so hours, and comes with fast charging as well as Qi Wireless charging support.

Other than that, the earbuds are also water and dust resistant with a rating of IP68. And the same applies to its case as well, although it carries a lower IP54 rating instead.

The new Logitech Zone True Wireless Earbuds will arrive globally in Fall 2021 at a retail price of US$ 299 (~RM 1,260), and are available in two colour options: graphite and rose. Logitech has not confirmed whether the buds would see a release in Malaysia at this time.

LG Updates TONE Free Wireless Earbuds Lineup With A Whispering Mode

July 27, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great post on Penang.

LG is adding three new earbuds to its TONE Free lineup — the FP5, FP8, and FP9. The most intriguing addition is the new “Whispering Mode” which allows users to hold the right earbud near their mouth and use it as a dedicated microphone in noisy environments.

The feature, available on all three earbuds, is certainly attractive to those who don’t like talking on the phone in public. The updated earbuds are quite similar in both specs and appearance. They all sport three microphones per earbud, IPX4 water resistance, active noise cancelling, and an ambient mode for talking without taking your earbuds off.

LG’s Arc Design shortens the earbud stems by 4.4mm compared to LG’s previous models, and it claims that the improved drivers and diaphragms offer more bass without impacting clarity or detail. The new lineup also comes with Headphone Spatial Processing and 3D Sound Stage which seem to be rivalling Apple’s Spatial Audio.

Then, as now, the TONE Free series comes with an auto-cleaning UVnano charging case that uses built-in UV-C lights to kill bacteria on the medical-grade ear tips. Oddly enough, only the mid-range FP8 comes with wireless charging. What separates the highest-end FP9 from the pack, however, is the ability to use the case as a transmitter for the earbuds, meaning you can use the FP9 even with non-Bluetooth devices.

The lineup comes with decent battery life, with 10 hours on a single charge and up to 24 hours with the case (the battery life is slightly less for the lower-end FP5). LG hasn’t revealed the prices for the earbuds yet and only revealed that they’ll be coming to “key markets” this month. No word on whether it’ll come to Malaysia, but we can expect the FP9 and FP8 to be priced just above the previously-released FN7’s RM609 price tag.

Razer Opus X Comes With Brighter Colours And A RM549 Price Tag

June 12, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A really good post about Penang Malaysia.

Razer first announced the Opus wireless headphones back in May last year. Now, the company is following up with the Razer Opus X. It’s got brighter, punchier colours, but probably more importantly, it has a smaller price tag.

As the name suggests, the Razer Opus X is quite similar to the base model. One notable difference here is the lack of the traditional wired connection via a 3.5mm audio jack. To make up for it, the company says that there’s a 60ms low latency mode that you can turn on. Also making up for the lost feature are a pair of microphones that you can use for voice chats or a good old phone call.

Beyond that, the Opus X sports the familiar 40mm drivers from the base model. It also runs Bluetooth 5.0 for its wireless tech. And it has very marginally shorter battery life with ANC on, rated at 30 hours as opposed to 32. With it off, it has the same 40 hour playback time.

To round it all off, the Razer Opus X comes in Mercury White, Quartz Pink, and its signature Razer Green. And accompanying it is a price tag of RM549. Razer says that its signature colour is only available via its online store.

Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Limited Edition Now Available In Malaysia

February 27, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A great post about Penang Malaysia.

Leica has launched a new limited edition of its popular Q2 camera, with the Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Limited Edition. As its name implies, the camera is created in close collaboration with the James Bond actor and the renown British Academy of Film and Television Arts photographer.

Unlike the regular Leica Q2, the new limited edition sports a black and gold colour scheme, which the company described as “exclusive and elegant”. Fluffiness aside, the camera indeed looks classier and more distinctive than the original release. All of its engravings, symbols and strap rings are inlaid in gold, while the entire body is presented in matte black – along with a diamond patterned Nappa leather embossing covering its front. Even Leica’s signature logo and red dot follows the new look.

The rest of the camera, such as its hardware and fixed lens, remains the same as the original Leica Q2 which debuted in 2019. As a quick recap, it comes with a 47.3MP full-frame sensor, a 3.68MP OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.76x magnification, and a 3-inch LCD touchscreen display on its back. The Q2’s fixed lens is a Leica Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH prime lens with macro capability. There’s no optical zooming function but thanks to its large onboard sensor, the camera allows for crop-to-zoom edits in post. Connectivity-wise, the Q2 comes with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities for transferring photos to smart devices wirelessly.

Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Limited Edition Malaysia

Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Limited Edition Malaysia Despite featuring Daniel Craig’s name, this limited edition of the Leica Q2 is not the same as the alleged 007 Limited Edition that was leaked in September last year. According to the images provided by industry insider Nikoshita, the latter features a green colour scheme and even includes a 007-themed lens cap as well as a similarly themed steel briefcase. Ever since the leak, the supposed 007 Limited Edition is nowhere to be seen and is likely delayed (or cancelled) due to the numerous delays of the latest James Bond movie, No Time To Die.

Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Limited Edition Malaysia

Moving on. The Leica Q2 Daniel Craig x Greg Williams Limited Edition is immediately available at the brand’s official store in Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur and authorised dealers. The camera is priced at a whopping RM30,300, and is limited to only 750 units globally. Each unit also comes with an exclusive carrier strap made of black Nappa leather, featuring gold coloured gilded eyelets.

Microsoft Announces Xbox Wireless Headset; Available Starting 16 March

February 17, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A really good post about Penang.

Microsoft has announced the Xbox Wireless Headset that it will be launching next month. It is naturally made to work with the Xbox Series X and S, but it also works with PCs and mobile devices.

The Xbox Wireless Headset connects to all the devices listed above via Bluetooth 4.2. It is also built with support for Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X sound tech. It has a battery life of 16 hours, and Microsoft claims that 30 minutes of charging provides four hours of audio life. Charging to full takes three hours while not in use, which sounds pretty long by today’s standards.

The drivers of the Xbox Wireless Headset consists of 40mm neodymium magnets and paper composite diaphragm. Pretty standard for headphones these days. Though it comes with a lot of extra bells and whistles with emphasis on party chat. These include a game/chat balance dial in addition to the volume dial. The adjustable boom mic also lights up when it is turned on.

The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset is set to launch on 16 March, for a price of US$99.99 (~RM404). That being said, it will likely not be made official here, the same way the Xbox consoles are not brought in officially by the company.
