Back in February, Asus teases its ZenFone 6 during the Mobile World Congress 2019 at Barcelona. On February 2, Asus tweets on the launch of the ZenFone 6 on its official Twitter page. From the invitation, it shows a tagline “defy ordinary” with a person walking.
From the picture above, it is confirmed the ZenFone 6 will have neither a notch nor a punch-holes in the screen. This means the possibility of having a popup selfie camera is very high. Asus did not reveal the complete details about the front camera mechanism. It looks like the ZenFone is completely bezel-less except the top part there is a slight gap for the earpiece.
At this moment, the technical specifications are not confirmed yet. Most probably, the processor it could use the Snapdragon 855. We are expecting the RAM should be at least more than 8GB. This is because the previous ZenFone model was having an 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage. The Asus ZenFone 6 might have 512GB of storage.
Asus also uploads a teaser video of the ZenFone 6 with the launch event details. From the video, we know the event will take place in Valencia, Spain on May 16. Asus will be streaming the event live on its official website at 8.00 pm Spain time. That’s around 2.00 am in the morning of May 17.

Another feature of Facebook focus is on the Messenger app. During the F8 Developer Conference, Facebook Director of Messenger Asha Sharma announces Messenger app will be redesign completely. Most probably, Facebook might include the cross-messaging feature to the Messenger app.
New Messenger app
The major concern Facebook has is the size of the Messenger app itself. Finally, Facebook promises the new Messenger app will be fast and reliable. Facebook will be working on re-building the architecture of the Messenger from the ground itself. This changes will make the app to be faster and lighter.
Watch Together
Moreover, Facebook also brings the watch feature to the Messenger app. Whenever you are away from your friends or family, you can use the new Watch feature where Messenger will allow you to watch videos together with them in real time. You just have to share the video from the Facebook app to the Messenger. Then invite the friends you wish to watch the videos with. While you are watching together the video, you can even message and have a video chat also. This is something totally unique feature where we are expecting from Facebook.
Messenger desktop app
Facebook also announces to roll out Messenger for desktop during the developer conference. Nowadays, people use the Facebook messages feature to communicate with their friends and family. This can sometimes interrupt their work as they have to keep on switching their window tabs. With the desktop app, Facebook says, users, can have group video calls, collaborate on a project or multitask while chatting without stopping their other works. As for now, Facebook is still testing the Messenger desktop app.
In conclusion, Facebook announces all these features will only be rolling out globally later this year only. Facebook says these features are still on the testing phase. Looks like finally, Facebook plans to make changes to the Messenger app after a long time. Let’s wait for it to roll out globally so that we can get hands-on with those features.
During the 2019 F8 Developer Conference which happens in San Jose, California, Facebook announces to make huge changes to its current Facebook design. This includes the design changes to both web and app. Facebook is calling its new version as FB5. This means this new interface design will be simpler, faster, more immersive, easier to find what you are looking for and get all your most-used features easily. These are the five key feature Facebook is focussing now.
Facebook’s Groups
First of all, Facebook will be focussing on the Groups feature first. In the new design, the Groups tab will be easier to locate. According to Facebook, there are more than 400 million users who are using the Groups feature. Facebook believes this feature will be really useful for its users to get more personalize feeds from across all other groups.
Other than that, Facebook also introducing a new feature where users can request the admin to post questions without revealing the user’s name. This feature is mainly for the Health Support groups. Sometimes, people tend to shy asking question related to sensitive topics such as health and sex. By using this feature, none of them have to worry about revealing their name to the other members. Their privacy will be protected by Facebook.
Moreover, there are many Jobs groups on Facebook. Now, Facebook will be introducing a way where the employer can use the new template to publish for jobs vacancies on the Facebook Jobs groups. Candidates who are interested can contact the employer directly and submit their applications.
Facebook’s Dark Mode
As we all expected, finally Facebook announces to bring dark mode for the web very soon. As for now, this feature will be only available on the Watch feature. The Dark Mode feature will allow the user to enjoy watching the videos by reducing the screen glare. This will protect their eyes from overstraining.
In conclusion, as part of the FB5 release will be Facebook’s new logo. The new logo will be more circular than the previous logo which is more square rounded corners. This will give a modern look to its logo. According to Facebook, the new interface will be available for mobile apps in the US and Canada for now. Later this year, Facebook will roll out globally. Whereas for desktop versions, Facebook will roll out the new interface in a few months.
Two days ago, Facebook had its 2019 F8 developer conference at San Jose California. Every year, Facebook will introduce a new feature during the F8 developer conference. Back in September 2018, Facebook launches the Facebook Dating feature where users can find their date easily by creating their own dating profile. This feature is first available in Thailand, Colombia, Canada, Argentina, and Mexico. Now, Facebook officially announces to bring this feature to Malaysia starting 1st May 2019.
Is your relationship single at this moment? Are you looking for someone to date? Then you should use this new feature on the Facebook app. It is very simple to use this feature. You have to create your own dating profile which totally different from your normal Facebook profile. You don’t have to worry about your data, because of Facebook neither publish nor share your dating profile to your Facebook friends. The Facebook Dating feature will recommend people based on the preferences you set on your profile. This feature can easily be found from the Facebook Menu page on your Facebook app. There should be a new Dating option. Apart from Malaysia, Facebook rolls out this feature to another 13 countries. Facebook says they will roll out this feature to the US too at the end of this year.
Facebook’s Secret Crush
Additionally, Facebook introduces a new feature called Secret Crush. This feature is mainly focused on people who are introvert. These are the person who is scared to talk to their crush. It basically works like Tinder. When you add few of your crushes into your Secret Crush list and if they also add you into your crush list. Facebook will immediately notify the match to both of you. In order to use this feature, both of the users have to create their own Facebook Dating profile first. In Tinder, you have to swipe right for the person you interest with. Then if the other person swipes right for your photos then Tinder will notify you of the match.
In conclusion, we are sure Facebook only allows users who are 18 years and older to use this feature. This feature might be really useful in Malaysia since there are alot of guys and girls who are not in a relationship. Let’s see how userful this feature once people starts to use it.
Looking back during the MWC 2019, Energizer reveals its new smartphone which has the battery of 18,000mAh. This smartphone is expected to be the world’s longest lasting smartphone due to its huge battery capacity. The Verge shares a picture of the Energizer smartphone with the iPhone next to it. You can imagine how huge is the phone. Planning to kill someone with a smartphone? Don’t use the Nokia 3310 to hit anymore.

Recently, Avenir Telecom creates project funding for the Energizer smartphone in Indiegogo. They were expecting the project will be kick-off successfully. Unfortunately, this project is a failure where only $15,000 was secured from the funding. This is only 1% out of the target goal which is $1.2 million. During the MWC 2019 event, this smartphone got a lot of attention from tech experts from around the world. This gives Avenir Telecom to get the license to produce the Energizer P18K Pop smartphone.
Upon closing this funding, Avenir Telecom has thanked everyone who backed the campaign. They said, they will work further to improve the design and the thickness of the P18K Pop smartphone. They also believe, there is a rising interest for this smartphone due to the incredible battery life, which can last for at least two days long with full usage.
In conclusion, for now, this project could be a failure, but once Energizer works on changing the design and the thickness of the phone, this smartphone could really be an interest of everyone. As for now, we have to declare it as official FAILURE.
A few days back OnePlus tweets the launch of OnePlus 7 series smartphone on its official Twitter account. A day before OnePlus tweets, a video teaser was uploaded which gives a glimpse of the OnePlus 7. Two days ago, one of the tech journalists in the Wired UK got his hands on the new OnePlus 7 Pro sample unit for testing.
The folks at the Wired UK has taken few shots at the 2019 Azerbaijen Grand Prix using the OnePlus 7 Pro which has a triple camera setup. The photos have been shared on the official Wired UK page. According to them, this is the first time OnePlus added a 3X optical zoom telephoto lens. Below are few of the photos taken using the OnePlus 7 Pro.
According to the Wired UK, the OnePlus 7 Pro is not as fast as the Google Pixel 3 in terms of shutter speed. However, with the 0.3 seconds or lesser of shutter lag, it is still manageable. The new OnePlus 7 Pro also comes with an auto HDR where all the picture snapped will be added with contrast color layers to make the picture more crispy. You can turn it off this feature from the setting menu. Other downsides of this phone, is when you enable the burst mode, there is a delay with a 20-frame limit.
OnePlus did not plan to remove all the noise from the picture when you are capturing using the 3X telephoto lens. When you look closely on the picture below, you can see the noise in the 3X shots. This happens even in the daylight images. The main back camera comes with a 48MP sensor. This lens could possibly be from Sony. Although the picture is snap using the 48MP lens camera sensor, the output after pixel binning is a 12MP image. OnePlus says the downsampling helps the picture to reduce the noise. However, users can’t turn off this setting to allow to shoot the pictures in the full original resolution.
OnePlus also has its own Night mode where you can shot photos in low light. However, this feature still could not compete with the Huawei P30 Pro. Below is the picture snapped using the Night mode feature. Usually, it only takes 5 seconds to snap pictures in the Night mode, but the OnePlus 7 Pro needs a longer time than the normal shot.
Here are other pictures were taken using the OnePlus 7 Pro.
In another two weeks, OnePlus will launch its OnePlus 7 series smartphone in New York. According to them, the Pro model could be expensive due to additional features and a new display to give a smooth experience for the users. Stay tuned here we will cover updates once the phone is launch. For more information on the launch event, you can find here.
Looks like Mark Zuckerberg is enjoying being a father and husband. The tech genius builds a glowing wooden box for his wife Priscilla. This glowing sleep box does help his wife to sleep better throughout the night without thinking to check her phone.
The “sleep box” will emit slightly dim light from 6 am to 7 pm. This is the time Mark’s daughter would be awake. According to the Facebook CEO, the wooden box helps his wife to sleep throughout the night. He is also planning to make it available to other entrepreneurs who might want to build a sleep box for more people. Mark Zuckerberg posted the picture of the “sleeping box” on his Instagram account.
In conclusion, we might soon expect the sleeping box to go on sale since Mark is making it available to other entrepreneurs. Do you think this is something useful for us? Especially when you can set when the light should be dimmer so that you can wake up without an alarm.

Grab feels this feature will really allow its users to shorten their travelling time via the public transport.
Hotel Booking
Grab doesn’t stops there. Grab will be introducing its own Hotel Booking feature via the Grab app. Starting May, Grab users can book hotels from Agoda.com and Booking.com. At the moment, Grab says they will include Booking.com in the coming future. This means, you can choose any type of hotels such as budget hotels or most luxurious hotel from the Grab app.
