OPPO A3: A Detailed Look at the Latest A-Series Lineup
Reading Time: 3 minutes read

It looks like OPPO is releasing a new mid-range smartphone called the A3. Placement for this device puts it between the A3x and the A3 Pro. This is essentially a mashup of the two, with a 6.67-inch 720p LCD featuring a quick 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits.

The OPPO A3 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 chip, which lets it perform quite well. It features a combination of 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, so it should do nicely in both multitasking and storage of apps and media. The device comes with IP54 protection against dust and water.

The OPPO A3 has a 50MP primary camera paired with a depth sensor. It is fitted with a front 5MP camera to satisfy selfie enthusiasts. With such features, it does well in capturing high-quality photos and videos for any situation. The A3 meets the needs of everyone, from casual photographers up to content creators.

OPPO A3

A3 comes with a huge 5,100mAh battery that would last an extended period running it. It was supported by 45W fast charging, hence quick in recharging your phone. Such a scale of a battery would ensure that the phone will sustain long use without frequent charges.

For connectivity, OPPO A3 supports 4G connectivity, NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi 5. You’ll also see a 3.5mm headphone jack here for flexibility in audio accessories. The features will keep the user connected with the help of solid wireless technology while serving a seamless experience.

However, third-party retailers have the phone listed at RM699, and while there has been no official release of the OPPO A3, Ocean Mall Melaka has pointed out that the price has been confirmed, and it’s expected to hit Malaysia anytime soon.

PowerBeats Pro 2: New Design and Features Coming in 2025
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Apple subsidiary Beats Electronics has teased the forthcoming PowerBeats Pro 2 in a teaser video featuring MLB star Shohei Ohtani. The short glimpse gives insight into what is impending.

The new PowerBeats Pro 2 retains its predecessor’s design form but with a sleeker and more fashionable look. This minor redesign will enable Beats to keep the familiar look but bring everything into a much-updated style.

The first-generation Powerbeats Pro, launched in 2019, did wonders for itself due to its durable and fitness-focused design. It was circular with ear hooks, Apple’s H1 chip, a nine-hour battery life, and the “Hey Siri” function. It seems to have won a soft spot in the hearts of sporty people.

PowerBeats Pro 2

Anticipations are high for the PowerBeats Pro 2, which might feature serious improvements. It’s rumored to have a custom processor that gives it better cross-platform compatibility, while the headset could add Apple’s Find My support and one-touch pairing with both iPhones and Android devices.

With these insights, however, Beats has yet to release any kind of detailed specification for the new model. Outside of its confirmation that it will drop in 2025, fans await news on the features and enhancement.

PowerBeats Pro 2

As the day of the launch draws nearer, details about PowerBeats Pro 2 will still keep emerging. Until then, the teaser video and rumored upgrades keep enthusiasts intrigued and excited for the new release.

Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Google is designing a major redesign of Gboard in preparation for the official arrival of Android 15. The refresh will introduce a spate of new features, such as a dedicated keyboard switcher button, to offer more convenience to the user. The Android 15 update is about to be pushed out, and its first stop will indeed be Pixel devices. It is here that this update for Gboard will finally arrive with the first QPR1 of Android 15.

Currently, users have to enter settings or press the spacebar to switch between keyboards. This keyboard switcher button, however, makes it easier by allowing the user to just tap to quickly switch between keyboards. The long press gesture for switching keyboards is said to be disabled for Google.

The redesign of Gboard also brings improved autocorrect, and there will be options to correct sentences. This means that users will get a choice of whether they want to correct only words or both words and sentences. Second, Google intends to add an edit button to the customization menu for more control.

Why X TV App Fails to Impress Because of Poor Content Quality?

Why X TV App Fails to Impress Because of Poor Content Quality?
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The new X TV app has thrown its hat into the streaming arena. And its owner, Elon Musk, has just announced that the app is now live for some Amazon Fire TVs, Google TVs, and a smattering of LG panels. If your TV isn’t one of these models, there’s no need to panic. In any case, the beta app probably offers little.

The X TV teaser video promised a functioning streaming interface of various video links, but the real app for Amazon Fire TVs is considerably less exciting. It’s little more than a vehicle for the video delivery system of the X platform, requiring an account on X to function. It’s a handpicked list of already existing X videos.

X TV app

The content provided through the X TV app is very limited. For example, the initial recommendations included some controversial and politically charged videos. In its nature, the offerings on the app borrow much from the conservative leanings of the user base. While the strong focus might lure a particular cadre of users, it limits the general appeal of the app.

X TV app

Despite big-name announcements, there is very little content on X TV that impresses. Big names such as Khloé Kardashian and Don Lemon were onboard with video plans, many of which have encountered delays. Content for the app is scanty at the moment compared to other more established competitors like Rumble.

Musk said that X TV would be available on home TV screens soon. Details remain fuzzy, but what little the app does suggests it has a long way to go. For now, its appeal is mainly a function of its content and device compatibility.

Samsung has officially launched its latest budget smartphone – the Galaxy A06. Priced at RM449, it’s affordable and, therefore, cheaper than the predecessor. The price cut is justified since the specifications remain almost the same. For one, Samsung added a fingerprint sensor, which was quite noticeably missing in the A05.

For whatever it is worth, the Galaxy A06 puts up the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset; compared to other handsets in the same segment, the performance isn’t all that bad.

It comes with a 6.7-inch 720p LCD fitted with a standard refresh rate of 60Hz – adequately sufficient for viewing.

In the camera department, the Samsung Galaxy A06 features a 50MP primary shooter tagged along with a 2MP depth sensor. It also features an 8MP selfie camera on the front. The device gets a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support that can keep it running easily throughout the day.
