Are you ready to witness the world’s first smartphone camera technology? Realme will be announcing the world’s first 64MP quad-camera smartphone next week in New Delhi. Back in May, the CEO of Realme shared a picture which was taken using the 64MP quad-camera. Now, Realme is ready to unveil its newest smartphone camera technology on the 8th of August.
One of the features a user sees before purchasing a smartphone will be the camera technology. Nowadays, most of the smartphones have a 48MP camera sensor. Even smartphones with a selfie camera have started to have a 32MP sensor. This is quite common now in the smartphone industry. Now, Realme is taking a leap forward to launch its first 64MP quad-camera smartphone next week. Realme has shared a tweet on its official Twitter account with the tagline “Leap to Quad Camera”.

At this moment, we do not have any information yet neither the model name nor the specifications. The camera technology Realme will be using is from Samsung. They will be using Samsung’s 64MP GW1 sensor. This is the highest mobile image sensor ever been produced by Samsung.
From the media invite, the rest of the three cameras could be the ultra-wide-angle camera, a telephoto lens and a depth sensor. Other than Realme, Xiaomi also recently teases us with a picture of a cat snapped using its new 64MP Redmi smartphone. We are expecting Xiaomi could be announcing its smartphone too in another few months.
Keep on following our page for more information on the quad-camera smartphone. We will share any updates regarding this new technology in the near time.
It has been a week since Vivo launches Vivo S1 in Malaysia. A few days ago, Vivo announces Vivo Z5 in China. It is Vivo’s next Z series is being launched in China. Before this, Vivo announces Z5x in China which mainly focuses on performance. We are expecting major improvements compared to the Vivo Z5x.
Talking about the display, Vivo Z5 comes with a 6.38″ Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a small notch at the top for the front selfie camera. Comparing to the previous Z5x which has a punch-hole display. Vivo also includes the in-display fingerprint scanner. This fingerprint scanner technology is able to unlock the Vivo Z5 easily within a split of seconds.
For the camera wise, the Vivo Z5 has a triple-camera setup. The main back camera comes with a 48MP sensor. The other two camera sensors are 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera sensor and the 2MP depth field sensor. Looking at the front side of the device is the same 32Mp selfie camera, which presents in the current Vivo S1.
Under the hood, the China tech company includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor. This is similar to the one present in the Z5x. However, this round, Vivo has removed the 4GB RAM model. The new Vivo Z5 comes in four variants with the new 8GB RAM. Apart from that, Vivo introduces the Z5 in three stylish colours which are Aurora Illusion (purple), Holographic Illusion (bluish-white), and Bamboo Forest Night (dark green).
Looking at the specs sheet, the Vivo Z5 has a smaller 4,500mAh battery compared to the Z5x. However, Vivo is adding its FlashCharge technology to the Vivo Z5. This means you can charge the device to 50% within 30 minutes. Last month, Vivo introduces its new Super FlashCharge technology which able to fully charge the device in 13 minutes. Seems Vivo is not including this support just yet.
Z5 Pricing and Availability
You can purchase the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant for CNY1,598 (RM961.58). The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage is selling for CNY1,898(RM1142.10).

Two days ago, Samsung teases it will be unveiling the new Galaxy Tab and the Samsung smartwatch in two separate events on July 31 and August 5 respectively. The first device Samsung unveils is the Galaxy Tab S6. Samsung did not hold any official event as it will be having a grand event in New York to launch the Galaxy Note 10. Samsung unveils the Galaxy Tab 6 on its official website.

Taking a look at the Galaxy Tab S6, personally, we feel this is an alternative tablet to the iPad Pro. Samsung has updated the specs of the Galaxy Tab series with better storage and RAM. Apart from that, the new Galaxy Tab S6 comes with an S Pen which the Note device has.
https://youtu.be/qKnlnLMfsyY
Is this the iPad Pro killer tablet?
By looking at the design itself, the Galaxy Tab S6 seems to be the contender to the iPad Pro. But, we need to further analyze the specs before finalising our result. The Tab S6 comes with a 10.5″ WQXGA Super AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1600 pixels. If you do the math, that is 287ppi. Unlike the iPad Pro, it comes in two models which has an 11″ display and 12.9″ display.
Apart from that, the Galaxy Tab S6 also comes with the all-new S Pen. Samsung made changes on the design of the Tab S6 rear side. The Tab S6 has a subtle indent for the S Pen. Next time when you use the S Pen, you can directly attach it to the rear of the Tab S6. The S Pen charges automatically the moment you attach your S Pen at the rear. If you compare the S Pen placement with Apple Pencil placement, this seems slightly off. The reason is, when you want to place your Tab S6 on the table the device will be bulging, or else you need to keep on the table as shown in the figure below. Let us know your thoughts regarding this new S Pen placement.
On the audio side, the Galaxy Tab S6 comes with four speakers on both sides. These speakers are specially tuned by AKG and Dolby Atmos. This means the sounding will be totally different compared to other tablets in the market. Similarly, the iPad Pro also has four speakers on both sides. At this moment, we can’t compare the sounds yet as Samsung has not revealed the official date it will be available in the stores.
One of the features the Tab S6 has which the iPad Pro doesn’t have is the in-display fingerprint sensor. This is the first time, Samsung is adding the in-display fingerprint sensor in its tablet. Samsung integrates the same fingerprint sensor technology which is currently present in the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+.
Galaxy Tab S6 could be the next powerhouse tablet
Another feature the Galaxy Tab S6 has is the dual-camera setup. The main camera comes with a 13MP f/2.2 sensor and a 5MP f/2.0 ultra-wide-angle sensor. This allows you to take a wide angle shot with a 123-degrees of a field of view. You can also record and edit 4K videos directly on your tablet instantly. The front comes with an 8MP f/2.0 sensor.
Having all these features requires the Tab S6 to have a fast processor. Now the Tab S6 is powered by Snapdragon 855 processor. Samsung will be launching the Galaxy Tab S6 in two models which is the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. You can even add microSD card up to 1TB storage. The Galaxy Tab S6 also comes with 7,040mAh battery which could keep you to watch videos for 15 hours on a single charge via its USB-C port.
In conclusion, looking at all these features this could be the iPad Pro killer tablet. There are more features such as Samsung Dex and Bixby. You can find more detail on the official product page. For now, the pricing details and availability has not been reveal by Samsung yet. Probably, Samsung could reveal more details during the Note 10 launch event. We will update this article upon receiving official confirmation from Samsung.
Apple is the first technology company to introduce its own credit card. Back in March, Apple unveils its titanium credit card called Apple Card. During the event, Apple says it will unveil the Apple Card this summer. Now, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook confirms it will begin to accept applications in August.
According to Tim Cook, before Apple rolls out Apple Card, it has given the Apple Cards to more than thousands of its employee to use it. All the Apple employees have been using the Apple Card in their daily life in a beta test. Looks like Apple is ready to roll out the Apple Card in August.
To recap about the feature of Apple Card, the titanium carve card will be coming in both digital and physical form. Usually, credit cards have few similarities which are the same traditional 16-digit card number, a three-digit CVV code and expiration month and year. Apple wants to make your transaction secure by generating those 16 digit number randomly during each of your purchase. These numbers are being generated directly on your device.
Apart from that, Apple also will be offering cashback for each purchase made with Apple Pay. You will be eligible to receive 2% cashback when you make your purchases via Apple Pay and 3% for the purchases done via the Apple Store. At this moment, Apple didn’t reveal the exact date Apple will roll out the Apple Card. Malaysians might need to wait for a longer time for Apple to roll out Apple Card.
After Facebook buys WhatsApp back in 2014, Facebook has introduced many interesting features such as group video calls and stickers. Now, we have been hearing Facebook might be working on a major upgrade to the WhatsApp app.
One of our closest sources, WABetaInfo reveals that Facebook is working on a new feature for WhatsApp which will let you use the same account on multiple devices across multiple platforms. Soon you might also be able to install WhatsApp both on your Macs and Windows including iPads.
At this moment, you still can use WhatsApp on your computer via the WhatsApp Web. However, there isn’t any standalone app yet until now. According to the leaker, Facebook is changing the whole experience soon. Here are a few details from WABetaInfo.
Your main WhatsApp account on iPad (when the app will be available) without uninstalling it from your iPhone.
The same WhatsApp account on iOS and Android devices.
WhatsApp on your computer (without the necessity for an Internet connection on your phone) using the UWP app (this is one of the reasons why started to develop it).
It will be obviously possible to use the same account on Windows Phone (using UWP) and WhatsApp for Windows (always the UWP version).
In conclusion, there aren’t any screenshots for the leaker yet. We will update this article once we got further information regarding these upgrades.

As the launch of Google Pixel is right around the corner, Google posted a video teaser showing one of the Pixel 4 features. This time Google is focussing on the motion-sensing feature. According to Google, this is not just about facial recognition. The motion-sensing feature could better possibilities with “ambient computing”.
The very first feature Google Pixel will feature is the Face unlock feature. From the video above, the Face unlocks feature works seamlessly. You don’t have to use your finger to swipe up. Just by looking at the Pixel 4 the phone unlocks by itself. Google says you can also unlock the Pixel 4 by using your face in any direction. Any direction means even if you put your face upside down, Google is very intelligent to find it is you.
Google is finally realizing Project Soli
Based on the video above also you might have noticed that you can use your hand gesture to interact with the Google Pixel 4. According to Google blog, it is clearly stated that it is using Project Soli for the motion-sensing. Google starts Project Soli five years back under the Advanced Technology and Project team (ATAP). Soli is a motion-sensing radar which is used to detect planes and other large.
Taking a look at the image above, Pixel 4 comes with a motion-sensing feature. Apart from the hand gestures, the Pixel 4 also has the Soli radar chip where you can skip songs or snooze your alarms by simply waving at your phone.
According to Google, all your data is safe. Whenever you unlock your phone with your face, you don’t have to worry about your data privacy. This is because Google is not saving any data in your phone or shares it to other Google services.
