Smartwatch is a rising tech gadget in recent years as evidenced by sales reports from the wearable industry.

As you know, the Covid-19 cases in our country have hit an all-time high a few days ago. Our government has also started to applied stricter MCO rules across the red zones to prevent the virus from continuing spreading throughout the country.

Although the under-display camera (UDC) is a highly-anticipated technology for smartphones next year, it looks like Samsung won't be bringing it to their next flagship series.

OPPO has officially announced that their Wireless Flash Charging Technology will make its debut during the Auto China 2020, which takes place from late September to early October 2020.

It seems that a recent statement by ithome.com hinted that 5G messages could potentially replace SMSes in the future which could benefit everyone, due to the fact that 5G messages allow users to send more complex messages to one another.

It seems that OPPO is working on a new hybrid zoom technology which could improve the sharpness of pictures taken by the periscope zoom lens, regardless of focal length.

5G technology is becoming a must for the latest smartphones to have these days. Although the communication technology has not been widely implemented yet, it is still a good idea to future proof the devices. Other than smartphones, Intel and MediaTek are also reported to be launching their 5G solution for laptops too.

Earlier today, OPPO unveiled their new 125W flash charging technology which is capable of fully charging a 4000mAh equipped smartphone in than 13 minutes depending on the conditions. This is thanks to a combination of several new internal hardware such as 10 new temperature sensors, multiple-tab double 6C Cells, and three parallel charge pumps working in unison in order to maximize charging speed even without compromising on safety.
