News & Reviews:   street view

A man in Argentina has been awarded compensation of USD 12500 (approximately RM58300) after an image of him naked outside his home appeared on Google Street View.

We went onto a street interview and caught off guard when our interviewee was from Vietnam and answered in Vietnamese. So we used the Samsung Live Interpreter Feature on our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 immediately and surprisingly it pulled off the interview!

Google has recently announced that it will be removing the standalone Google Street View app from both Google Play Store and Apple App Store in the “coming weeks”. Moreover, support for the app will also be discontinued in March 2023.

After introducing the immersive view, Google has added another exciting feature to the Google Maps. To celebrate 15 years of Street View support, the app now allows access to available imagery for various locations from different points in time, which basically means you can travel back in time to find out how the places looked like back then. 

Today, 11street has announced a new partnership with Wiko, a French mobile company that has been around in Malaysia for quite some time. They came to Malaysia just two years ago and well known for their reputation for selling quality budget phones. So to celebrate the occasion, customers can pre-order the newly launched Wiko View2 Pro starting today until 11 June 2018 for just RM999.

Apparently the HTC 10 is now available in Malaysia at 11street.my for RM2799. The listing has it priced at RM2799 with GST and a free Ice View case worth RM159. Three colours are available which include gold, grey and silver while tech specs reveal it to be the 4GB RAM version with 32GB storage and 4G LTE.

While it doesn't appear to be an official launch, it is being handled by Dynamics Distribution which is a fairly big official smartphone distributor in Malaysia. Perhaps they are going this way to minimize costs and maximize profits. In any case, you can still get the imported HTC 10 from as low as RM2639 at our seller lists in the tech specs, just scroll down to find them.
