At this point, you’re probably asking: what exactly makes the Redmi Note 8 Pro the next phone to own? Big Display, Bigger Battery, Tougher Body With a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display and a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio, it also got and Eye Comfort feature that has TUV Rheinland certification too. With a 4500mAh battery, it’s also the perfect smartphone for those who have a penchant for browsing the internet or watching videos on the move....

It also occupies the same entry-level category as the other two devices. Looking at its specs, the HONOR 9S comes with an HD+ display, an octa-core chipset with four cores going up to 2GHz and another four at 1.5GHz. Worth pointing out is that the phone runs on HMS, so you’ll be making use of the Huawei AppGallery. It has 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and supports a microSD card of up to 256GB....

Let’s start with the headliner of the show, the Magic4 Pro, and begin with the internal specifications of the phone. Off the bat, the phone is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, 8GB RAM, and up to 256GB of ultra-fast internal storage. Oddly enough, HONOR’s CEO, George Zhao, didn’t actually mention what the battery capacity of the Magic4 Pro was, but was eager to tell us all that the battery was one of the first in the industry to support 100W SuperCharge, both for wired and wireless charging....

Specs-wise, the Vision X1’s beating heart is the Honghu 818 SoC, which houses a quad-core CPU, running in a dual A73 and dual A53 configuration. While graphical tasks are handled by a quad-core Mali-G51 GPU. Additionally, the chipset is capable of both 4K and 8K decoding. Speaking of output, HONOR has also improved the display panel of the Vision X1, giving it a DCI-P3 colour accuracy of 92%, while also being a 4K display....

Due to the U.S sanctions, Huawei’s smartphone unit has undergone a drastic decline. The company already sold off its HONOR brand of smartphones, and there was recent talk that its Mate and P lineups would go the same way. But according to AFP, Ren said, “We have decided we absolutely will not sell off our consumer devices, our smartphone business.” He also praised the iPhone 12 as “the world’s best smartphone”, the South China Morning Post reported....

The news was broken to a journalist attached to TechRadar, who wrote that it’s looking unlikely that Huawei’s foldable device will see a launch anytime before November. Although in the brand’s defence, it did provide assurance (of sorts) that it is “certain” that the Mate X will be out before 2019 comes to an end. Delaying the launch of its Mate X means that, as of now, Samsung will possibly be beating its Chinese rival with the launch of its foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold, being first to the market....

Earlier today, we have spotted a massive billboard that showed the Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G in Subang Jaya. It is located at a very prominent location since not only that it is situated near Sunway Pyramid but also at the very start of the New Pantai Expressway. Another solid proof that Huawei is prepping up for the launch Mate 30 Pro 5G in Malaysia is its appearance in SIRIM database....

Powered by Huawei’s highest-end consumer processor to date, Kirin 990, the MatePad Pro also carries a 10.8-inch QHD display which has 4.9mm bezel and 90% screen-to-body ratio. Depending on markets, the tablet can be obtained with up to 8GB of RAM and 512GB internal storage. For taking notes and drawing on the tablet, Huawei has designed an active stylus called M-pencil which features 4096 levels of sensitivity. The stylus can easily be charged to full capacity in one hour, just by attaching it to the top of the MatePad Pro which is built with a magnetic wireless charger for the M-pencil....

Surprisingly, local consumers don’t have to wait for a more than a month as per Nova 4 though. Huawei will be releasing the new Nova 4e in Malaysia on 16 March with a price tag of RM 1199. Equipped with a 6.15-inch Full HD+ LTPS display, the Nova 4e is running on Kirin 710 processor alongside 6GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage. Other than that, the phone also carried 32MP selfie camera alongside a combination of 24MP, 8MP, and 2MP cameras on its back....

Without a doubt, the blood pressure monitoring feature on the Huawei Watch D is actually pretty significant. This is given the fact that we’ve yet to actually see a product from a mainstream consumer tech brand that provides such a feature in Malaysia, especially one that allows you to keep track of your blood pressure while on the go. And as we’ve covered before, this onboard functionality is the real deal – complete with an air pump powered cuff under the watch’s strap that tightens around your wrist when it scans your blood pressure....

The nature of the lawsuit is overall very similar to the ongoing one with Epic Games and Apple. The argument here is that Valve has a technical monopoly over the PC gaming market via Steam. This then allows it to take the 30% cut for games sold through the game storefront. And Wolfire Games argues that 30% is an “extraordinarily high cut”. In the suit, Wolfire Games estimates that Valve, via Steam, commands around 75% of the total PC gaming market....

Then again, there’s the famed master of teardowns, iFixit, to show you how it is done like a champion. Just like tons of previously released Apple products that have went through their hands, the folks at iFixit have obtained the 2019 Mac Pro and duly dismantle it in order to rate the machine’s repairability factor. Interesting enough, iFixit folks were really happy to see that plenty of parts within the Mac Pro can be easily swapped or replaced without special tools....

The company explains that when the button is clicked on, customers will then be redirected to confirm their food purchases via their preferred delivery platform. Similarly, the same applies to the ‘Order Food’ sticker which is attached to a vendor’s Instagram Stories post. They added that these new features are launched in collaboration with Grab and FoodPanda delivery services. To include this new function, business account users can activate the ‘Order Food’ button on their profile by adding their respective delivery partner link in Settings, under the Action Buttons....

There have been some slight user interface improvements as well to accommodate the possibility of using a larger screen. When you’re watching a live broadcast on a browser on a desktop or laptop screen, the scrolling comments are moved to the side. The live broadcast will still be in portrait mode though. It can still be considered an improvement over the mobile experience though, depending on the chat activity. Since on mobile, the comments come from the bottom of the video, paying attention to both can be quite difficult....

The filtering tool is an entirely optional one and will apply to DM requests because that’s how users typically receive abusive messages – according to Instagram. When turned on, the tool will automatically filter out DM requests with offensive words, phrases, and emojis, and shove them into a separate hidden requests folder. The tool will come with a predefined list of offensive terms that Instagram has compiled in consultation with anti-discrimination and anti-bullying groups....

The feature shows you the amount of time you spend on the app, as well as lets you set daily time limits and temporarily mute notifications. In practice, it’s a lot like the feature that’s on YouTube, or Android 9 Pie‘s Digital Wellbeing in general. The underlying message that Instagram is trying to deliver, however, is while it’s fine to spend long hours on the app, it shouldn’t be done too often....

Seemingly taking a page from rivals such as YouTube and TikTok, the captions are generated via artificial intelligence (AI), and are made available to its Reels and Remix video features. Instagram says that it plans to continue improving the AI system’s accuracy and also introduce more languages in the near future. Adding captions makes Instagram more accessible for those in the deaf/hard-of-hearing communities🧏🦻. You will have the option to turn captions on (or off)....

Confirmation of the 8-core Tiger Lake CPU’s existence was given by Boyd Phelps, who is an Intel Fellow. In his blog post, Phelps said that an 8-core processor within the lineup could have up to 24MB last-level cache (LLC). Intel’s Tiger Lake mobile CPU lineup is the first in the company’s lineup to be based on a new 10nm SuperFin die lithography. Prior to its new process node, the brand was stuck with its 14nm die lithography that was first introduced back in 2015....
