Not long ago, it was reported that iQOO would be introducing the first device that supports a 200W fast charging technology. If you think that's already impressive, new information arrives and claims OPPO is launching one with an even higher 240W charging capacity.

Chinese chip manufacturing giant SMIC recently posted its earnings for the first quarter of 2022 which saw a whopping year-on-year increase of 62.6 percent.

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has announced that it will be using In-Car Radar and ‘Intelligent Compound Online Payment System (iCOPS) devices throughout highways this festive season. Through both devices, the police can detect traffic offenders with summons arrears and warrants of arrest.

The Communications and Multimedia Ministry (K-KOMM) together with the Finance Ministry (MOF) and the Higher Education Ministry (KPT) officially launched the PerantiSiswa Keluarga Malaysia programme today at MMU, Cyberjaya. However, application for the programme will only start tomorrow (15 April) via its official online portal here.

During the event, K-KOMM minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa guaranteed that the devices under the programme will be of high quality and not be ‘cap ayam’ (low quality). He also reiterated that the devices will be distributed starting from mid-June, as we’ve reported previously.

It amazes us how Sony can keep everything under control by not having a single leak about its upcoming smartphone. If you haven't noticed, Sony will be having an Xperia event next week to debut a new device. However, nothing has been reported so far about what the company has in store. Today, a new teaser video has arrived and given some hints on what's to come, with one of the professionals saying that "it's going to be the best smartphone camera". 

Earlier, we've seen two cases involving the explosion of YES Altitude 3 which is the model of the device given out by the government under the Jaringan Prihatin initiative. Sadly, we have yet another case reported on the YES 4G Community unofficial group on Facebook two days ago, and the cause of the explosion is similar to the previous two.

The user from Pahang posted a few pictures showing the aftermath caused by the explosion. Other than that, the caption also mentioned that the phone exploded suddenly while it had only been in use for two months. Once again, we hope that no one is hurt in this incident.

It seems that a report by TechnikNews seems to hint that 3 of Motorola’s upcoming smartphones are expected to come equipped with up to a 108MP main camera at the rear.

It has been a while since the release of the POCO M2 back in September 2020. Today, it is reported that the brand is going bring a "half-successor" to the marker soon as a device dubbed POCO M2 Reloaded has been discovered.

It seems that a recent report hinted that the upcoming Apple Watch update could allow users to unlock their iPhones without the need to authenticate themselves via Face ID. With that being said, users won’t need to fumble around to remove their face masks which can be very useful especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on a statement by wabetainfo.com, it seems that WhatsApp could allow users to have their account signed in to up to 4 devices at the same time. While there is no news on when this feature will be available, this means that signing into another device will not sign the user out of the previous device they were using.
