The phone sports a curved 6.67-inch 2400×1080 pixel OLED display with an impressive peak brightness of 800 nits and a 120Hz refresh rate. While it has an under-display fingerprint scanner and includes a tempered glass screen cover, it lacks some standard features such as a water resistance rating or NFC and only features a single bottom-firing speaker instead of dual stereo speakers. The internals of the HONOR X40 includes last year’s mid-range Snapdragon 695 chipset from Qualcomm, with between 6GB to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage, with the ability to convert unused storage into additional virtual RAM....

Of course, there is some catch to the plan. Despite having unlimited data, the data speed will be capped at 3Mbps although one can choose to obtain the higher-end plan that comes with 6Mbps speed cap and costs RM 45 per month. Additionally, customers also must purchase a separate hotspot pass if they want to share the connection through tethering. Our tipsters also added that these new Hotlink unlimited plans will likely be launched on 4 June 2020....

The new earbuds look quite similar to its predecessor but now come in three different colours and are lighter with shorter stems, which the company claims makes them fit better in your ears. In terms of dust and water resistance, the brand says they carry a rating of IP54. The Freebuds 5i feature three modes for its ANC including Ultra, General, and Cozy that provide up to 42db of noise cancellation....

One of them is for a category where Huawei has never competed before, which is the gaming monitor category and it comes in the form of MateView GT. It carries a 34-inch ultra-wide curved VA panel with a 1500R curvature that also has a native resolution of 3400 x 1440, 165Hz refresh rate, and 90% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage. Also comes with HDR10 support and a maximum brightness level of 350 nits, the MateView GT is also equipped with its own soundbar which features a 5W dual speaker setup and an RGB light strip....

The nova 7 SE is the lighter weight of the two, despite what the name will normally suggest. So with that out of the way, let’s see what the phone has to offer. Specifications Design As far as design goes, Huawei managed to get certain things right with the nova 7 SE. One of them is the side-mounted fingerprint sensor that also acts as the power button, and I’ve said in a couple of other reviews before that this is ergonomic genius....

However, there is an apparent way to circumstance the U.S sanctions which is to release refreshed version of devices that already have been certified by Google before. One recent example is the P30 Lite New Edition that was released in certain markets earlier this year which carries more RAM and storage than the original P30 Lite but the rest of the phone’s specs and design are still the same....

Richard Yu, Huawei’s head of Consumer Business Group, said that HarmonyOS is ready for smartphones, but it won’t be used just yet. For now, HarmonyOS will remain on standby as the company’s backup mobile OS for when it loses Android. — Huawei Mobile (@HuaweiMobile) August 9, 2019 Should the worse come to worst though, he says that migrating from Android to HarmonyOS will only take a few days. The latter will also support a wide range of app languages, including Android, Linux and HTML5....

Both models share a lot of characteristics together including a 1.43-inch AMOLED touch display with a resolution of 466 x 466, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, optical heart rate sensor, blood oxygen (SpO2) sensor, skin temperature detector, and water resistance rating of 5ATM. There are also 30 pre-installed watch faces in them and users can also obtain new faces from Huawei Watch Face Store or create their own animated face using a video from their phone....

According to Ikea, their current priority is to resume delivery for existing orders that were placed before 27 April, and will be contacting customers who have been affected by the delay for scheduling. However, the brand explains that assembly services are not allowed due to health restrictions and as not to place customers at risk. They are also following up with the authorities to seek a contactless assembly solution that is compliant with the MCO directives....

According to their sources, samples of the top-of-the-line Core i9-12900K were being sold between 6900 Yuan (~RM4516) and 7500 Yuan (~RM4909). Bear in mind, these prices are not reflective of the product’s final SRP, which we’re certain will be different once the lineup officially launches. That said, the early sales of qualification samples also point towards Intel’s progression with the chips; if samples are already out this early on the market, it’s clear that the chipmaker’s development of its 12th generation desktop CPUs is ahead of schedule....

As a refresher, Intel’s Core vPro series of CPUs cater specifically to the professional and commercial industry. Compared to its consumer-grade counterparts, vPro CPUs are also fitted with hardware-based features that are targeted at businesses where management and security tasks are a priority. Specs-wise, both CPUs feature a 4-cores, 8-threads layout, have a TDP of 15W, as well a memory support for LPDDR3 2133MHz or DDR4 2400MHz. In terms of speed, the Core i7-8665U will have a base clock of 1....

The choice of date for the A770 Limited Edition’s launch is a bold one, to say the least; 12 October is also when NVIDIA’s next-generation GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is slated for availability. And while Intel’s GPU is technically a flagship component, it’s clearly not a card that is on the same level as team green’s own flagship. As a quick recap on its specifications, the A770 will feature the full-fat ACM-G10 GPU, which comes with 32 Xe-Cores, 32 ray-tracing units, and 512 XMX Enginers....

For the uninitiated, Resizable BAR is basically a feature built into the PCIe interface, that makes the entirety of a GPU accessible to the CPU, all at once. In other words, it enables both components to communicate and allocate power between each other, depending on which one needs more. If the Resizable BAR technology sounds familiar, it’s probably because AMD introduced its own version of the technology in the form of Smart Access Memory (SAM), back in 2020....

That aside, the repository initially lists down a total of five SKUs for the Xe DG2. Firstly, the variants will come with 512 Execution Units (EU), 384EU, and 128EU. Each EU will have eight shading units, so the total number of shaders for the 512EU comes up to 4096 shading units, or ALUs. The odd thing is that the same source also lists down two other EU variants, which are 256EU and 96EU....

So, let’s jump right into it. Specifications Like the Core i9-12900K, the 12600K is based on the same Intel 7 process, which is basically a fancier name of the chipmaker’s long-awaited 10nm Enhanced SuperFIN die lithography. Naturally, as a 12th generation CPU, the processor is built around Intel’s new hybrid architecture of Golden Cove (P-Cores) and Gracemont cores (E-Cores). In the case of the 12600K, we’re looking at a 10-cores, 16-threads layout, comprising six P-Cores and 4 E-Cores with a boost clock of 4....

Before you get all excited or upset, depending on how you feel about the current availability of Intel’s ARC graphics cards as a whole, this Gold Limited Edition of the A750 will only be available in China. What sets its apart from Intel’s “standard” A750 Limited Edition graphics card is the visual graphics etched into the card. The Gold Limited Edition A750 is emblazoned with the face of a golden tiger on the backplate....

Integrated within these new processors is the Intel Iris Plus graphics engine that is based on the company’s 11th generation graphics architecture. Intel claims that it will be possible to play a lot of today’s games in 1080p through the new Iris Plus graphics, with twice the framerate as before. The 10th Gen Core chips are also apparently Intel’s first batch of processors designed with AI performance in mind. Touting the Intel Deep Learning Boost, the company has implemented Gaussian Neural Accelerator into these chips to handle AI tasks....

The initiative is part of the semiconductor maker’s Project Athena initiative. According to reports, the new cooling solutions will have new thermal designs, featuring a combination of vapour chamber and graphite sheets. There’s still not a lot of detail, but the semiconductor maker has said that its new cooling solutions could enable future notebooks to run 30% cooler than currently existing ones. Having new cooling solutions for notebooks would definitely be a boon, not just for consumers, but also notebook manufacturing partners....

IOU Pay today has officially revealed the revamped interface for the app which the company dubbed as the “myIOU 2.0”.
