Kataoka explains that he doesn’t want the abrupt change of branding to cause “anxiety” and confusion to fans. “At least for the time being, we will use ‘Olympus,’” he said. “However, is it better to move away from Olympus as an entity and continue to work under the name Olympus? I want to think about it.” The CTO did not reveal how long OM Digital Solutions plans to retain on using the original branding before switching to its own....

OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei posted in its forum to clarify this, following its teaser video. The video in question involves the line “Water resistant ratings for phones cost you money” followed by the depiction of a phone being dunked into a bucket of water. All in all, it’s a fair point to make. Getting an IP rating will cost money, and it’s customers who will have to bear it in the end....

[ORIGINAL ARTICLE: 8 July – 5:58pm] OnePlus has officially confirmed its upcoming Nord device, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G. The company also revealed that the phone will be powered by the flagship-grade Dimensity 1200-AI processor.

The new model is essentially the first output that involved OPPO’s three-year collaboration with Hasselblad. In addition to having a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, the Find X5 Pro is also the first model to carry MariSilicon X which is a dedicated imaging chip developed in-house by the Chinese company. The 6nm chip contains a neural processing unit and image signal processor as well as its own DDR memory subsystem....

Most interesting is the phone’s rear panel, which has a leather-like texture – something that is usually featured on high-end models. This is complemented by two circular camera islands arranged vertically, further adding to its clean and minimalist design. Other than that, the phone is offered in Midnight Black and Lake Blue colour options, and also features a water resistance rating of IPX4. In front, the new OPPO A17 is equipped with a notched 6....

Specifically, it comes in the form of pop up selfie camera although the shape is rather highly unusual as opposed to other existing pop-up camera phone including OPPO’s own F11 Pro. The fin-shaped enclosure housed a 16MP sensor alongside a 5-element f/2.0 lens, and its own soft-light flash. On its back is a dual camera system which features 48MP f/1.7 and 5MP f/2.4 cameras. The Reno series also has another model called Reno 10x Zoom which still retains the same 48MP camera but also comes with 8MP f2/....

Promotional posters showcasing the Reno4 was initially leaked prior to OPPO’s official unveiling in China. The promo materials that were uploaded on Weibo gave us a glimpse of the smartphone’s rear design, revealing its camera setup and a curious “Reno Glow” branding on its rear case. Not long after, the company then released the official promotional materials of the Reno4 on Weibo as well. Thus confirming the imminent reveal of the smartphone that was suggested by the leaks, and also showcasing two available colour choices; red and blue....

Continuing in the series of tweets, Dr. Noor Hisham explains that Paxlovid is recommended as the treatment for COVID-19 patents aged 18 and above who are at high risk of developing severe symptoms but don’t need oxygen therapy. It is to be administered immediately after being tested positive for the virus and within five days of symptoms showing up for optimal effectiveness. — Noor Hisham Abdullah (@DGHisham) April 11, 2022 The treatment itself involves taking orally three pills – one white ritonavir pill and two pink normatrelvir pills – at a time....

According to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador, a special team has been assigned to monitor housing areas and villages throughout the country. IGP Abdul Hamid has also mentioned that PDRM has kept a record of those who have obtained the permission to perform interstate travel, including the details of their vehicles. While the authorities do allow interstate travel for certain cases such as husband or wife that live in different states to visit their families, they still need to obtain permission from PDRM first by submitting their applications at the nearest police station....

State Infrastructure and Transport Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said that the state will distribute an additional 30,000 passes in 2023 which will increase the total number of Mutiara Pass to 150,000. On top of that, the state’s allocation for this programme will be increased from RM6 million to RM7.5 million. The Mutiara Pass actually started out as a paid monthly pass just like My50 but in March 2021, the Penang state government has sponsored 100,000 passes worth RM3 million....

The mode is being developed “with the help of experts from the World Health Organisation, the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, and more”. It will come as a free update to all owners of the game, but no release date was announced yet. The dev will announce more details later. It’s an interesting direction for Plague Inc to take, to be sure. For one, it’s going in a completely different direction....

In total, there are 27 retailers involved in the PS5 pre-order program in Malaysia. Majority of them are well-known game stores such as Impulse Gaming, Heavy Arm, CK Multimedia System, Mission World, and Gamer’s Hideout. Alongside them are general computer retailers All IT Hypermarket and Pineapple Computer System as well as the two main Sony Stores and selected Sony Centre nationwide. Based on our observations, retailers are free to set their own pre-order method but in general, it mainly can be done online or by physically visiting those retailers themselves....

According to a set of tweets by POCO, the M3 will feature a 6.53-inch display with what appears to be a waterdrop notch to house its front facing camera. Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset, and powering the phone is a massive 6,000mAh battery. — POCO (@POCOGlobal) November 22, 2020 On its back is a triple-camera array which sports a design that is reminiscent of the one found on the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition....

Featuring 3.8GHz 8-core Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2-class GPU with 52 Compute Units and 12 TFLOPS processing power, if you look closely at the picture shared by Austin, you would then noticed something in the label. That’s right, the custom AMD 7nm chip for Xbox Series X is actually made in Malaysia although it was also clearly stated there that this chip diffused in Taiwan. — Austin Evans (@austinnotduncan) April 6, 2020 This is because the silicon inside the chip was actually made by the well-known foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) before it was sent for packaging in Malaysia....

While not stated explicitly, the true wireless earbuds in question appear to be the Razer Hammerhead. Nearly every item on its spec sheet also seem to match, from the 13mm drivers, to its Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. There’s some discrepancy in terms of battery life, with this one being three hours instead of the usual Hammerhead’s four. That said, the carrying case still gives the wireless buds an additional 12 hours of listening time....

But first, let’s look at the Razer Iskur X itself. It mostly shares the look of the full Iskur. It supports the same maximum weight too, at 136kg. While there’s no mention of maximum height supported, it’s probably reasonable to assume that it’s the same too. So what’s missing to make the Razer Iskur X come with a lower price tag? There are two notable omissions, though the more important one is probably the built-in lumbar support....
