Acer had their Next@Acer2019 Global Press Conference last night in New York, launching a bunch of their brand new products that we will likely see come by Malaysia throughout this year. Among them were a number of impressive gaming devices which includes gaming laptops, a gaming desktop and a huge 43 inch monitor with 144Hz refresh rate.

What is a Wind-Free air conditioner? Well, it's a new product made by Samsung and it appeared during the Samsung SEAO Forum 2019 just the end of March. Now it seems that Samsung Malaysia is preparing to bring in this air-con to the Malaysia market.

With the on-going battle for budget phones, vivo Malaysia has announced another one in the Y-series called the Y93. It will be available for purchase in Malaysia on 13 April 2019 for RM599 in Starry Black and Ocean Blue.

Four upcoming flagship devices appeared on Alipay’s smartphone rental page in China earlier today. Among the devices listed were the OPPO Reno, Huawei P30, Huawei Mate X and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4.

Redmi GM, Lei Ju, had confirmed a Redmi device with Snapdragon 855 was in the works. Today, a hands-on video showing off the alleged device has surfaced on the internet, showing off the triple rear camera setup and an O cutout on the top and center of the device. Yikes.

Sure the Samsung Galaxy A80 is cool and all but it's the Samsung Galaxy A70 smartphone that everyone asks the price for. Samsung had announced that pre-orders for the device is now open. The 6GB + 128GB variant will be priced at 2999 Yuan (~RM1839) and the 8GB + 128GB variant at 3299 Yuan (~RM2023).

The Samsung Galaxy A70 looks like any ordinary smartphone on the market, unlike the Samsung Galaxy A80. However, it does have some impressive tech specs which include the Snapdragon 675 chipset, a 4500mAh battery capacity with 25W fast charging and supports expandable memory up to 512GB. It features a 32MP selfie camera housed in the Infinity-U notch and as for the rear camera, you’ll find a triple camera setup with 35MP + 5MP (ultra-wide) + 8MP sensors.

In terms of design, it does have an array of colours to choose from which are Laser Black, Pearl White, Coral Orange and more. No sign of a Malaysia price yet or Malaysia release date yet but we’ll let you know on TechNave.com when we do. Is the price of this device what you expected it to be?

Earlier today, telco companies such as Celcom, Maxis, U Mobile, DiGi and more have showcased their 5G solutions in Putrajaya earlier today. At the test bed, many of the telcos gave a brief introduction to the 5G technology as well as the benefits that this new network will bring such as higher bandwidth with speeds of up to or even more than 1.6Gbps, lower latency, greater stability, better reception in a crowded area and so on. The network has also been used to conduct a remote brain surgery, in which the surgeon and the patient were more than 3000km apart.

Smartphone photography has always been on the rise. Clearly the skills to take a great photo with your smartphone differs greatly to a camera. Ifyou call yourself a smartphone photography enthusiast, why not show off your smartphone photography skills in Huawei’s “NEXT Image awards” contest?
