Samsung and Oppo are two of the the top smartphone brands in South East Asia (SEA). According to IDC (International Data Corporation), phones from these two brands are also the best-selling handsets in this area. Let’s see the details!

Samsung and Oppo phones: SEA domination

Southeast Asia is one of the most populous areas in the world. This region also has one of the largest phone consumption in the market. Recently, IDC (International Data Corporation) has just shown their sales research for this region. According to the report, the phone consumption rate has risen 6.5% this year compared to 2015. Samsung and Oppo are the two brands having the biggest number of phones used here.

Standing at the top spot is Samsung with 20% market shares. Right after that is the company from China – Oppo. It seems that this brand has firmly consolidated its position in the Southeast Asia. Last year, this Chinese brand sold over 50 million phones in this religion. This is not a surprise because their marketing campaigns are really impressive. The third place goes to a Thai company – Thai True. Asus from Taiwan and Lava from India take the fourth and fifth position respectively.

So, let’s have a look at the two recent noticeable Samsung and Oppo phones. First is Galaxy Note 7 from Samsung. This phone has a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and 4GB RAM. It also features one of the best cameras right now: 12MP+5MP back and front combo. Oppo has F1s which is considered the expert selfie at the moment. This handset owns two 16MP cameras on the back and front. It runs on an octa-core MT6750 with 3GB RAM.

High-end Apple iPhones: not on the list

Apple does not show up in this list. This is understandable because iPhones are aimed at the high-end segment with high prices. Meanwhile, Samsung and Oppo branches to more segments, and a lot of phones from these two brands are much cheaper in comparison. Beautiful designs, strong specs, and affordable prices are the main factors making these brands successful in SEA market. Do you own a Samsung or Oppo phone? Share with us!

Battery is one of the most concerned issue for smartphone users. There are many phones with great performance but without a big battery. In that case, portable battery is a good option. Today we’ll show you how to choose a suitable portable battery!

Portable battery: It depends on your needs

The first thing to be concerned about when buying a portable battery is of course, the capacity. For those who want to use portable cell just for urgent situation, a 5000mAh one will be a great option. Meanwhile, if you are someone who goes out a lot and often can’t find any plug to charge your phone, a portable cell with 10.000mAh capacity will be a suitable one.

The second thing to consider before buying a portable battery is the intensity of the current. Normally, portable cells are divided into two kinds based on its current intensity: one with 5V – 1A and the other with 5V – 2.1A. To be more specific, the 5V – 1A one is suitable for flip-phones, feature phones and some old generation smartphones. The other one is for current smartphones and tablets.

Another aspect we should think about when choosing a portable battery is its warranty. Electronic appliances are always unpredictable. They may break down at any time without any specific warning. Portable cell is not an exception. Moreover, when it breaks down, it’s hard to get it fixed. As a result, choosing one with long warranty may save you lots of money in case bad things happen.

Portable battery: consider the extra features!

Last but not least, there are some matters you need to pay attention to before bringing home a portable battery. If you have two smartphones or one smartphone and a tablet, you should buy one with two charging ports. If you often use the removable cell outside, it’s better to choose the ones covered with metal or silicone, because they have better endurance. Moreover, we prefer the ones that automatically disconnects when your device is fully charged. With all the advice we have given, we hope you will find the most suitable one for you. Please share with your us the portable charger you’re using!

Apple has finally unveiled their first model of wireless headphones: the AirPods! The headphones were first introduced during the September Apple Event together with the new iPhone 7, which doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack to begin with!

Apple wireless headphones specs

During the Apple Event on September 7th 2016, new versions of iPhone along with a new model of headphones were introduced to the world tech audience. The new model headphones are called AirPods and they are completely wireless to go along with the new iPhone 7 which doesn’t use a 3.5mm headphone jack. The AirPods are shaped similarly to the previous EarPods, with their long head-tail but without the actual wire to connect the two pieces.

The new Apple W1 chip is the one responsible for handling audio and wireless connection inside the AirPods. The chip also manages the microphone inside the headphones. The headphones have special infrared sensors that detect whether the earplugs are in your ears and will turn off the music when you pull the headphones out. This feature certainly will be useful in saving the headphone battery life, which is claimed to last for 5 hours.

The AirPods are instantly paired up with your iPhone when you open the white little charging case that comes along. Apple states that the headphones are given 3 hours of listening time with only a 15 minute-charge. Another interesting feature is the use of the motion accelerometers and optical sensors to activate Siri with a double-tap on the headphones. The Apple wireless headphones, with their speech-detecting accelerometer, will also be able to filter out the background noise when you are on talking to someone or to Siri.

AirPods – a big change that takes time to adapt

The Apple wireless headphones are going to be available in late October this year for 159USD (RM. 642). They are sold separately and aren’t included together with any of the new iPhone 7. The AirPods are defintely a big change for Apple users. There have been different feedbacks and controversy from the Apple Event demonstration and we are yet to know if the AirPods are working efficiently and are firm in use. Let us know what you think about the new Apple wireless headphones!

iPhone 7 Apple has just been launched. So, what are the differences between this phone and iPhone 6s of last year? Today, we give you the disparities between them. Here are what you need to know! 

iPhone 7 Apple: 3D Touch home button, more ROM, and better cameras

The first and obvious difference between these two phones is the headphone jack. This is the first iPhone (along with iPhone 7 Plus) to not have a 3.5mm headphone jack. So, if you want to listen to music, you have to use the default EarPods connected through the Lightning port or use a Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter for normal earphones. Secondly, iPhone 7 this year comes with 3 ROM versions: 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB. Meanwhile, iPhone 6s had 3 variants: 16GB, 64GB and 128GB, and since the iPhone 7 announcement,  there will only be 32GB and 128GB variants. Thirdly, IP 7 also have a bigger battery than iPhone 6s, which can last 2 hours longer than the one from 6s.

Additionally, iPhone 7 is powered by a quad-core A10 Fusion processor. With this chipset, this phone will run 40% faster than 6S, which houses the A9. The next difference is cameras. Both iPhone 7 and 6s come with a 12MP main camera with 4K video recording ability. However, the iPhone 7 camera is better with f/1.8, OIS, and quad-LED flash. These features on 6s are f/2.2, no OIS, and dual-LED flash. The selfie shooter of IP7 is also better: 7MP with 1080p video recording. A 5MP cam with 720p video recording is what you can find on iPhone 6s last year.

Another distinction is the stereo speakers. Having two speakers, iPhone 7 Apple will be two times louder than 6s which only packs one speaker (mono speaker). Also, now you don’t have to worry about water issues anymore. Because the 2016 Apple phone is dust+water resistant with IP67 certification. It can stand water at the depth of 3.2 feet for 30 minutes. Another disparity is the home button. This is one of the most highlighted iPhone 7 specs. Instead of the physical home button as usual, the 2016 iPhone is equipped with a 3D Touch one. Design wise, there are no more stripes at the back of iPhone 7, compared to iPhone 6s.

iPhone 7 Apple: are the new features enough?

Well, it seems that iPhone 7 Apple this year has many differences compared to iPhone 6s. It has a stronger processor, more ROM, a little different design, and better cameras. So, what do you think about iPhone 7? Do these new features satisfy you? Are they enough for you to buy this phone?

At the iPhone 7 launch event, Apple introduced their new iPhone lineup with many cool features: 256GB ROM, waterproof, dual 12MP camera… These phones will be tough rivals to other flagship phones like Galaxy Note 7 or LG V20.

iPhone 7 launch event: 256GB ROM, dual 12MP camera

At the iPhone 7 launch event in San Francisco, Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus showed up with many different features compared to iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. About the design, 2016 iPhones come with an aluminum unibody with four colors: black, silver, gold, rose gold, and the additional jet black color. On the rear panel, the antenna bands are now put on the top and bottom edges. There is no physical home button anymore, as well as 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead of that, Apple uses a 3D touch home button, and Lightning port now also serves as the headphone jack as well.

In terms of iPhone 7 specs, it runs on iOS 10 and is powered by a quad-core A10 Fusion processor. With this chipset, iPhone 7 will perform 40% faster than A9 from IP6s. It packs 2GB of RAM paired with 32/128/256GB of non-expandable ROM. About cameras, the phone is equipped with a 7MP selfie snapper and a 12MP main camera. This primary cam comes with f/1.8, OIS, and quad-LED flash. Besides, there is a 4.7-inch Retina IPS display. iPhone 7 Plus specs are similar to iPhone 7, except for two features – screen and camera. IP7 Plus has a 5.5-inch Full HD Retina screen and a dual 12MP main cam with 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom.

One of the most impressive things about these iPhones is the long-awaited dust + water resistant features. With IP67 certification, these handsets can handle in the depth of 3.2 feet of water in 30 minutes.  This year’s iPhone lineup is also equipped with stereo speakers, the first time for any Apple phones. With the stereo speakers, iPhones will be two times louder than before. Last but not least, the exact battery capacity has not been announced, but Apple promises that iPhone 7 will last 2 hours more than 6s, and 7 Plus will last 1 hour more than 6s Plus.
