An interesting post about Penang.

Barely a week after it was revealed to the world, Xiaomi has announced its plan to launch yet another model from the expanded Mi 11 Series family in Malaysia. It will come in the form of the Mi 11 Ultra which is the highest-end model in the series at the moment.

For photography, the phone relies on a wide-angle main camera that comes with a 50MP Samsung GN2 sensor and f/1.95 lens alongside two 48MP Sony IMX586 sensors for its ultra-wide and 120x telephoto cameras. The Mi 11 Ultra also features 20MP selfie camera, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, dual speakers tuned by Harman Kardon, and a 5000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging capability for both wired as well as wireless chargers.

OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro Now Official: Featuring Snapdragon 888, 120Hz Display, Hasselblad Camera

March 23, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

A really good article on Malaysia.

Even though these phones have only received their official launch this evening, the existence of the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro have been known for quite some time. In fact, sometimes it seemed that OnePlus was trying to one-up the leakers by revealing details of these phones themselves before their official unveiling tonight.

Nevertheless, now that the company has fully taken the drapes off its new Qualcomm Snapdragon 888-based flagship devices, this means it is finally time to get a slightly closer look at their specs.

Equipped with a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display that also has 120Hz refresh rate, the OnePlus 9 Pro carries up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS3.1-based internal storage. On another hand, the standard OnePlus 9 features a smaller 6.55-inch Full HD AMOLED display although it still has the same 120Hz refresh rate together with the same RAM and internal storage options as per its Pro sibling.

One of the biggest attractions for the new OnePlus 9 Series devices is their rear camera module which was co-developed by Hasselblad, a giant within the photography world. On OnePlus 9, its main camera is equipped with a 48MP Sony IMX689 sensor and is being accompanied by 50MP Sony IMX766 ultra-wide, and 2MP monochrome cameras.

Meanwhile, OnePlus has retained the 50MP ultra-wide and 2MP monochrome cameras for the Pro model too but the main camera features a Sony IMX789 48MP sensor instead while there is an 8MP telephoto camera on the phone as well. Both models also come with a selfie camera that has a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor.

Despite their differences, both phones have the same battery capacity of 4500mAh. They also support the company’s Warp Charge 65T fast charging tech that apparently allows their batteries to be charged from 0-100% in less than 30 minutes. Interesting enough, the power rating of the OnePlus 9’s wireless charging feature is up to 15W but the OnePlus 9 Pro has a much higher ceiling limit at 50W.

At the moment, OnePlus has not yet revealed the release date and pricing for the OnePlus 9 Series in Malaysia. Just in case you need a reference though, the standard OnePlus 9 with 8GB and 128GB internal storage will be made available in Europe for EUR 699 (~RM 3,418) while the 12GB/256GB variant goes for EUR 799 (~RM 3,908).

On another hand, the OnePlus 9 Pro with 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB options are listed at EUR 899 (~RM 4,397) and EUR 999 (~RM 4,886), respectively. As per our past experiences with European prices, we foresee that the OnePlus 9 Series devices will likely be released in Malaysia with a much lower price tag and that is something that we will keep you updated once we hear more from OnePlus.

POCO F3 and X3 Pro Heading To Malaysia This Week With A Starting Price of RM 899

March 22, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative post about Penang.

POCO today has announced two new phones for the global market in the form of F3 and X3 Pro. Surprisingly, both of them will be heading to Malaysia this week itself with F3 will be available for purchase on 27 March which will come just few days after the release of X3 Pro on 24 March.

The F3 is essentially a rebranded Redmi K40 that was released in China late last month which is why it carries the same physical design and specifications. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 870, the phone also features a 6.67-inch Samsung E4 AMOLED Full HD+ display that also has a 120Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, and maximum brightness level of 1300nits.

On its back is the phone’s main camera which is equipped with a Sony IMX582 48MP sensor and f/1.79 6P lens that is being accompanied by an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera and 5MP f/2.4 telemacro camera. A 20 MP f/2.4 selfie camera completed F3’s photography and videography hardware.

The F3 also carries a 4520mAh battery that supports a fast charger with a power rating of up to 33W which is also included in the box alongside the phone. Yes, the Hi-Res Audio certified phone is still equipped with an IR blaster as well as a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Dolby Atmos enhancement, and dual speakers.

As for the X3 Pro, it is generally a souped-up variant of the X3 that was released in Malaysia last September. Hence, the phone still carries some of the same features as per the standard X3 including a 6.67-inch Full HD+ LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate as well as LPDDR4X RAM, 2MP macro camera, 2MP depth sensor, 20MP front camera, 5160mAh battery, and the support for 33W fast charger.

However, the X3 Pro is powered by a more powerful processor, the Snapdragon 860. POCO has also opted for faster UFS 3.1-based storage for the Pro model although somehow its main camera is equipped with a lower resolution Sony IMX582 48MP sensor together with 8MP ultra-wide camera.

Price-wise, the POCO F3 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage can be obtained for RM 1,399 while the 8GB/256GB variant goes for RM 1,699. As for the POCO X3 Pro, it will also feature similar memory and internal storage options with a price tag of RM 999 and RM 1,299 respectively.

However, those who are planning to be early adopters of F3 should get it straight on 27 March through Xiaomi Official Store Global on Lazada, since the phone will be priced at RM 1,299 and RM 1,499 instead. If X3 Pro is your choice, then head on to Shopee’s version of the store on 24 March in which the phone will be made available for RM 899 and RM 1099.

Almost three months after its debut in Europe, the Nokia 5.4 has now made its way to Malaysia. Its availability in our market was confirmed earlier today by HMD Global’s partner in Malaysia, Macpie Distribution.

In general, the Nokia 5.4 brings together several upgrades over its predecessor that was released last year, the Nokia 5.3.

On another hand though, the Nokia 5.4 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 instead of Snapdragon 665. Although this may not look so obvious at a glance, the new phone also has a smaller 6.39-inch display as opposed to Nokia 5.3’s 6.55-inch display.

Price-wise, the new Nokia 5.4 goes for RM 899 and readily available through Nokia Mobile’s official stores on Lazada as well as Shopee. Alternatively, customers can also obtain the new phone directly from Macpie Distribution through its e-store right there.

Samsung Malaysia Reduces Galaxy S20 FE 5G Price To RM 2999

February 20, 2021 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative article about Penang.

With the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Series earlier this year, one may expect that the models from its successor can be obtained at a lower price point. That is indeed the case with the Galaxy S20 FE 5G which was originally released in Malaysia in October last year.

The phone arrival in our market was received with quite a fanfare as it was the only Qualcomm Snapdragon-based Galaxy S20 model that was released in Malaysia while the rest of its sibling were equipped with the Exynos processor. Powered by Snapdragon 865, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G also features a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display with 120Hz refresh rate.

Samsung has also equipped the phone with a 12MP main camera alongside another 12MP ultra-wide camera as well as an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom capabilities. On the front, there is also a 32MP selfie camera.

In addition to having 8GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage, completing its general specifications is a 4500mAh battery that supports fast wired and wireless charging with a power rating of up to 25W and 15W respectively. The Galaxy S20 FE 5G is also able to deliver reverse wireless charging output up to 4.5W.

When it was released in Malaysia five months ago, the phone command a price tag of RM 3,399 but now you can obtain it for RM 400 off at RM 2,999. Alternatively, you can also choose to get the LTE variant of Galaxy S20 FE which has also received a price cut from RM 2,699 to RM 2,299 but still couldn’t beat the rather odd RM 2,099 deal back in January.
