It's becoming inreasingly clear that smartphone brands are trying to win the hearts of gamers all around. They introduce game optimization software, new waterfall displays for additional buttons, and also make their gaming devices as affordable as possible for the masses. Then, along came the ASUS ROG Phone 2. 

The first ROG Phone last year was a fan favourite and won our hearts, at the time it had the best gaming capabilities that any mobile gamer could ask for and it was quite difficult to think how the successor could be any better. Suffice to say, the ROG Phone 2 is like a Pokemon Mega Evolution and we mean it because IT'S THAT GOOD. Read below to find out more.

Apart from all it’s other innovations such as 40MP (f/1.6, PDAF, OIS) + 40MP (f/1.8, ultra-wide, PDAF) + 8MP (f/2.4, telephoto) + 3D depth sensor quad rear cameras, Kirin 990 chipset and more, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro also offers a Horizon OLED display that has 88 degree curved sides. With no physical volume controls, these side displays can also be used like gaming trigger buttons much like a console game controller, but you have to first turn on the Side-Touch LR buttons to turn your Mate 30 Pro into a gaming smartphone. We’ll talk about how to do so in a bit below.

Just a few days ago, we posted a realme 5 Pro vs vivo V17 Pro showdown and many of you seemed to like it. We are back with round 2 but this time, where we will be comparing the realme 5 and the vivo Y17. The reason why we picked these two is that both are at the same price point of RM799 featuring similar tech specs. 

So which of these two budget-friendly smartphones is for you? As usual, we will compare the three aspects of design, tech specs, then performance and features. Let's start. 

If 2019 has a TV episode about smartphones, it'd be titled The Battle of the Mid-Range phones. In just over ten months, smartphone brands have been spewing out mid-range devices like no tomorrow, battling each other to see who is the best in terms of quality and price. The OPPO A9 2020 happens to be one of these midrange nominees.

Before the A9 2020, the OPPO A-Series wasn't particularly marketed a lot but it is popular with customers who are on a budget. Slated for RM1199, the smartphone does have some perks but is it as good as what the spec sheet says? Let's find out in our full review of the OPPO A9 2020.

The Samsung Galaxy Note series has always stood out from the crowd ever since the first launch of Galaxy Note. It practically pioneered phablets and the larger phone display and brought plenty of innovation with it’s S Pen stylus. So, after Samsung upgraded the Galaxy Note 9 with a Bluetooth S Pen they went and added on a six-axis motion controller and more with the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

Following the launch of the Galaxy Note 10 series, that’s not all they added on as the design and performance have also increased significantly enough that it might even surprise you. Read our full review to learn more!

The gaming fanatic in me would always get excited at the idea of gaming laptops and there’s 3 things I look for in a gaming laptop. Performance, value for money and aesthetics. While the third requirement isn’t exactly a requirement for some people, the RGB monster in me also constantly wants to be appeased. 

At first glance, the Lenovo Legion Y740 gaming laptop seems to be able to fulfill all those requirements quite easily. With a starting price of RM7529, it can be hard to argue the second requirement. But to me, considering the specs as well as the size, it’s not a very bad price. I’ll explain further in our review below.

It's been awhile since we did any smartphone comparisons for fun, and since smartphone brands have been pumping out so many of them in the fourth quarter of the year, we thought it's a good time to compare two devices - the realme 5 Pro vs vivo V17 Pro. But why these two? Well, both of these devices came out in the same week. 

Not only that, the realme 5 Pro has a really attractive price for a mid-range device, whereas vivo just went crazy putting on 6 cameras in total on the V17 Pro. Both offer various aspects that are great for certain users. So as usual we'll compare three aspects - design, tech specs, then performance and features. Let's get it started!
