Sony Xperia 1 Passes Through Sirim Is Sony Mobile Back In Malaysia

Its appearance came slightly a year after Xperia XZ2 Premium which was the last device to pass through SIRIM back in July 2018. Not only that, the device currently registered under Sony Malaysia’s name alone which is rather odd as Xperia devices traditionally would appear in SIRIM database under distributors’ name as well. — Kevin Ng TK 🇲🇾🌺 (@KevinNgTK) August 10, 2019 First announced to the world back in February during Mobile World Congress, Xperia 1 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and features a 6....

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Sequel Reveal May Happen Before E3

PCGamesN reports that Jeff Grubb has shared as much in his GrubbSnax podcast. It will happen “early this year”, or before E3, and possibly within May.

Steelseries Reveals Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Arctis 1 Wireless Headphones

Like Microsoft’s limited edition Cyberpunk 2077-theme Xbox One controller, the Arctis 1 sports a very minimalist design and tone; the top of the headband is emblazoned with the word Samurai, while the back of one earcup shows off the stylised design of the red Japanese “Oni”. Seen on the back of the jacket of the game’s protagonist, V. The back of the other earcup looks banged up, although this is by design....

Study Finds Asia Pacific Consumers Trust Robots Over Humans To Manage Their Money

Not only that, 68% trusted a robot more than themselves when it comes to financial management. In addition to that, business leaders in the region are even more enthusiastic about machines (or distrustful of their fellow humans) as 83% have said that they trusted robots more to manage finances than their own finance teams....

The voice controls of the Tamagotchi Smart, on the other hand, could be a little bit of downer....

Telegram 7 5 Beta Introduces Qr Code Group Invites And Other New Features

Much like rival private messaging platform WhatsApp, Telegram now allows administrators to share invitations to people who wish to join their group chats via special links or QR codes. These invitations can also be set to expire after a duration of time – such as an hour, a day or none at all. Alternatively, administrators can also customise them further by adding a limited number of uses – for instance, setting a limit of only 100 scans or clicks before the invitation becomes inaccessible for other users....

The Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 2023 Gets The Nvidia Geforce Rtx 4090 Treatment

For this year’s G14 2023 model, this laptop comes with all the top-tier components money can buy. As with all models in the series, this one has an AMD Ryzen CPU and more specifically, the 8-cores, 16-threads Ryzen 9 7940HS that was revealed at its CES 2023 keynote. The chipmaker’s naming convention for its new mobile processors series is convoluted, to say the least, and could ultimately generate some confusion in the future, but that’s banter for another article....

The Witcher 3 Sees Surge In Popularity After Launch Of Netflix Series

The game, which is available on the Steam platform, saw a surge of more than 62000 players in the last 30 days, while over 31000 players were engrossed in the game in the last three hours.

This New Image Editing App Has Been Making Waves In Social Media

The filter itself is unimaginatively called “Cartoon”, which is also among plenty of other effects that are offered by Prequel for both photo and even video editing. Upon selecting or snapping a selfie via the app, the filter will take a short time to process it into the desired effect. And the outcome is actually pretty amazing, really. So much so that the portraits look like they were created by a professional artist – just expect a couple of features to be exaggerated, namely the eyes and lips....
