At the moment, there are two best ways to unlock your phone - using a fingerprint scanner or face recognition. Both are easy and quick, and there seem to be no other ways, but it seems that a team of researchers from Kyushu University and the University of Tokyo in Japan just brought a breath of fresh ideas to the table (pun intended).

Partnering with StockX, Nothing will be selling the first 100 phone (1) via a DropX Exclusive Auction on the platform, whereby the devices will be sold to the highest bidders. According to the StockX website announcing the collaboration, the first 100 Nothing smartphones will be serialised from 1 to 100, making them unique to each individual who managed to secure the device.

After sharing a first look at the vivo X Fold and its specs last week, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has done one better today by posting schematics of vivo's first foldable phone. And true to the leakster’s previous claims, the schematics shows that the phone will feature a quad-camera setup.

A further look at the alleged X Fold’s schematics also reveals a punch-hole camera on the cover screen of the foldable. Furthermore, it is also consistent with Digital Chat Station’s previous claims that the X Fold will adopt the same form factor of the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, Huawei Mate X2 and Oppo Find N.

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones today launched the latest member of the Nokia G-Series family in Malaysia, the Nokia G21, with a special pre-order price of only RM759 through Shopee. The official retail price of the device is RM799.

Claiming that it’ll have twice as many security updates than its competitors and a whopping 3-day battery life, the G21 comes wrapped up in a brand new sleek design that doesn’t compromise on Nokia’s famous durability.

OPPO Malaysia has announced that the Reno7 series will officially start going on sale at the OPPO Reno7 First Sale Roadshow this weekend (5 & 6 March 2022) located at Sunway Pyramid’s Blue Atrium.

What’s more, exclusively during the roadshow, OPPO Malaysia will be giving out a complimentary new OPPO Watch Free worth RM449 on top of free gifts worth up to RM1267 to the first 100 customers who purchase the Reno7 Series 5G!

It looks like Instagram has given up on its attempt to capture the long-form video market following the company’s move to kill off the IGTV standalone app. In an official blog post on Monday (28 February 2022), Instagram confirmed that it is discontinuing support for the IGTV app thus ending the service as a whole. RIP!

The components in smartphones are always improving and are all about bigger numbers these days. 108MP cameras first came out a few years back, followed by a 200MP sensor from last week. Now, Samsung plans to more than double the camera resolution by 2025.

In conjunction with Merdeka and Malaysia Day, U Mobile is having a promotion from now until 16 September 2021. In support of the government's Pakej Peranti RM1 Malaysia Prihatin initiative, the orange telco will offer an RM0.99 4G VoLTE-enabled mobile phone for U Mobile customers. 

It seems that a new patent from Xiaomi seems to hint that they could be working on a smartphone with a clamshell design that’s equipped with up to 4 cameras. While not much is known in regards to the smartphone in question, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the local market.

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.
