For those who missed our take on the device’s official launch in China, the 11 5G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor alongside up to 16GB LPDDR5X and 256GB UFS 4.0-based internal storage. However, we have no idea at the moment which combination of memory and storage setup that OnePlus will bring to Malaysia. Meanwhile, the new device also comes with a 6.7-inch QHD+ Super Fluid AMOLED display that is inclusive of LTPO technology alongside dynamic refresh rate capability that allows it to go between 1Hz to 120Hz....

As a quick primer, the OPPO A78 5G is the direct follow-up to last year’s A77, launching with a new backplate design and some odd downgrades, but is largely the same as the latter in many aspects. The A78 sports the same 1612×720 6.56-inch LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 600 nits peak brightness, protected by Panda glass. It is equipped with stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and is IPX4 water resistant....

Listed with the model name CPH2529, the device received SIRIM certification just last week on 28 March. It will likely be the successor to last year’s A97, which never made its way onto our shores, with the last A9X OPPO smartphone released here being the A96. Of course, since the brand has not made any announcement about the product yet, we don’t know what the official specs will be for the phone, but there have been several leaks that have given us a peek at what to expect....

The decision by Oppo to shut down the ZEKU unit that developed the NPU, as well as the MariSilicon Y Bluetooth audio chip, was abrupt and actually surprised virtually all the employees working within the subsidiary. As told to SCMP, one worker told the new portal that they couldn’t even go into the office to get even their laptop. As to why it shut down the MariSilicon unit, the Chinese brand said in a brief statement that it blamed “Uncertainties in the global economy and smartphone market” and said that it was a difficult decision....

The new phone was potentially first spotted in the hands of an Indian cricketer earlier this month, who has officially been confirmed as the brand’s ambassador. Despite that, the company has not revealed any official information about the new lineup other than their names, although a Bulgarian retailer may have accidentally leaked most of the phones’ specs sheet last week. If the leak holds true, the X5 Pro will only be an incremental update from its predecessor, with the biggest upgrade being the SoC....

In case you feel a little bit deja vu, that is most probably because the realme 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ were already available in Malaysia last December. On the other hand, the model that just received its Malaysian launch yesterday is the non-Pro model. [image: realme.]Essentially the most junior offering of the series, realme 10 features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen also has a maximum touch reporting rate of 360Hz and is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5....

As the renders only show the back of the phone, that’s what we’re limited to in terms of gleaming information. But probably most notable here is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 branding at the back, suggesting that this is the chipset that will the coming with the realme GT Neo 6. Nearby are the NFC tag, as well as that of the brand’s fast charging tech, Super VOOC. On the camera islands next to the chipset branding, we can see a triple camera setup, as well as an LED flash next to it, within the chipset branding space....

This isn’t a surprise given how the K60 Pro comes with 120W wired charging support as well. Interestingly, the Pro also has 30W wireless charging, but it remains to be seen if it will be retained in the Ultra. That being said, it wouldn’t make sense for a higher-end device within the same lineup to lack the feature. According to previous reports, the Redmi K60 Ultra could run on the Dimensity 9200 chipset from MediaTek, replacing last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC....

USE STRONG PASSWORDS AND 2FA Strong passwords are a must when it comes to financial security. Create strong, non-obvious passwords using combinations of upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. Also, be sure to create different passwords for all your important accounts. Otherwise, if hackers get to know your main password, all your accounts will become vulnerable. Biometric logins, such as facial recognition or fingerprint scanning, can be another useful way to secure your financial information....

As mentioned earlier, the new Samsung Galaxy A14 is the lower-end sibling of the 5G model that was announced earlier this year. It shares the same design, meaning that it too comes with a 6.6-inch FHD+ LCD display with a water-drop notch, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, loudspeaker, USB-C port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Additionally, the phone runs on the brand’s One UI Core 5 platform which is based on Android 13, and features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5....

According to a clinical trial undertaken by the University of Iowa’s Hearing Aid and Aging Research Laboratory, the updated Ambient Sound feature significantly improved speech perception in those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Additionally, Samsung Medical Center ran a similar trial and found identical results. The enhanced feature adds two additional levels of passthrough amplification on top off the existing three levels in the settings of the Buds2 Pro. Users can also adjust the amplification volume for each earbud independently and they can enable the “Adapt ambient sound” tool to let the earbuds automatically adjust the ambient sound based on your surroundings....

SamMobile reports that Samsung is working with Google to get apps like the latter’s Maps, Messages and YouTube, among others, to work with the smaller screen on the Galaxy Z Flip5. This means that it will be possible to get navigation guides, send texts and watch videos without unfolding the phone. In a sense, this is understandable as these are among the most common use case scenarios for smartphones these days....

The name should make it pretty obvious where you put the MouthPad to use it. The electronics needed to make it work don’t actually take up that much space, and is held in place by a piece of resin that looks like dental retainers for the upper jaw. Once in place, you interact with the touchpad with your tongue in the same way you would use a laptop trackpad with your finger....
