News & Reviews:   hands-on

In case you missed it, iOS 15 has been released on 21 September at 1 AM. As a new software upgrade from iOS 14, this is quite a big file to download (approximately 3GB) so it's best to download and install it overnight. But anyway, I have taken the liberty to explore what's new and there are some impressive features to take note of.

Google employees may be working remotely from home, but they are also developing Android 11 as we speak. In this latest update, the second developer preview of Android 11 has been rolled out by the company and one of the highlighted features is an AirDrop-like function. Previously known as Fast Share, it has been renamed to Nearby Sharing but it could be a placeholder name for now. Anyway, here's what we know.

Evan Blass recently released a video on his Twitter account showcasing a hands-on demo of a bendable smartphone. Based on the tweet, Evan has noted that the device is allegedly manufactured by Xiaomi. However, there is no further proof that the bendable smartphone actually was made by the manufacturer mentioned.

Initially launched last week, the Honor 6X offers a metal bodied dual rear camera smartphone from RM1199 for the 3GB RAM and 32GB storage version or RM1399 for the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage version. Previously on pre-order, the Honor 6X is currently available at most stores so take a look at our unboxing and hands-on video and see if it suits your needs. If you need more details stay tuned for the full review at TechNave.com.

Due to overwhelming response (Thanks TechNavers!), we've put together the camera hands-on video for the ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom. Granted, the version that we have is still very much a work in progress as OIS or Optical Image Stabilization has been deactivated and you can't save it as RAW (which is a feature that ASUS says it will have), but we did put the dual pixel camera sensor through its paces. We were pleasantly impressed and are looking forward to how it will perform when we get the full version but do check it out for yourself.

Retailing at just RM399, the Huawei Honor 3C Lite offers nearly all the same tech specs and performance as the earlier released Honor 3C smartphone. We go hands-on to prove this with the Honor 3C Lite smartphone in our hands-on video below. Check it out for yourself as we take it for a spin with demanding apps like Asphalt 8:Airborne.
