Yes, of all the data, you don't see this kind of study every day, particularly from Samsung. According to the company, its findings from the Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) Gaming Insight Study found that 7 in 10 online consumers in the region are gamers.

From time to time, you would still have people telling you playing games is a waste of time and bad for your brain. However, a recent study from the University of Oxford says otherwise, saying that there's no relation between the amount of time gaming and a person's mental health. 

Soon, we may be able to get 5G connectivity even in the world’s most remote locations thanks to a joint effort by Swedish telecoms equipment maker Ericsson, US chip company Qualcomm and French aerospace company Thales.

We are currently in the midst of the Aidilfitri festive season and the first since the start of the pandemic in which movement restrictions have been relaxed. Hence, many Malaysians are taking the opportunity to drive cross-country back to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya.

Yup, you read that right. New case studies are saying that smartwatches may have a key to detect a COVID-19 virus.

Just when we thought the pandemic was declining, the cases shot back up again and some businesses have ordered their employees to go back working from home. And so in relating to this, a national research science agency from Australia has reported that the COVID-19 virus survival rate is much longer than initially believed.

Recently, Google, as well as Ipsos, conducted a study on how Malaysians determine their next smartphone purchase. The study has stated that Malaysians are quite cautious, and they would usually do some research before making their next smartphone purchase. Interestingly, the price usually isn’t the primary contributing factor when it comes to smartphones, instead what matters is the battery life, whether is it running on an Android or an iOS, and the internal tech specs of the said smartphone.
