OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G Review

When comes to branding - OPPO Reno is often linked to out of the box design and camera-centric features and my last Reno phone was the OPPO Reno2 that launched back in 2019 which featured a more immersive screen and the iconic shark-fin style pop-up camera. ('Aurora' - Back of the Phone) Fast forward to Year 2021, with the latest model -  OPPO Reno 6Pro 5G  dubbed with “ AI Portrait Video Expert ” that offers next-level portrait video features such as ' Bokeh Flare Portrait Video ', ' AI Highlight Video ' and ' Focus Tracking '. In the photography department, ' Flash Snapshot ' enabled users to capture clear shots of moving objects.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 - A budget friendly phablet or an alternative tablet replacement?

Back in 2016, Xiaomi debuted their first MAX line-up as no other companies selling an giant phablet with giant 6" inches screen, massive battery size and performances. Which turns out to be popular in most markets. 2 years later, Xiaomi launched with their 3rd MAX line-up - Mi Max 3. Let's get into the unboxing of Mi Max 3 - Just a little disappointed as Xiaomi did not included a soft casing this model. Unlike Xiaomi's entry level smartphone - Redmi 5 has a casing included :( Long gone the capacitive buttons and the screen size goes fully immersive with 6.9' inch, 18:9 with 2160×1080. Both indoor and outdoor visibility under the sun are great. Personally will turn off the auto brightness and set it at a own preference range as the algorithm detects very awkwardly auto tuned. Viewing multimedia on this gigantic screen is super impactful with the pairing of front-facing stereo speakers ( as the earpiece section double as speaker)  is very imp...

Xiaomi Mi A2 - The new Nexus era?

One year later, Xiaomi launched the second iteration of Mi A series in Madrid, Spain and it followed Google's footstep by releasing dual model - Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite. Just a simple introduction of its counterpart in China as Mi A2 is Mi 6X while Mi A2 Lite is Redmi 6 Pro. Mi A2 sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC chipset and comes in three variants - 32GB or 64GB with 4GB RAM and 128GB with 6GB RAM, a user non-removable 3,010 mha battery with supported Quick Charge 3.0 via USB C port, dual rear camera setup which is a huge upgrade over its previous generation. No 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD slot on Mi A2. On my review unit is the 64GB variant and out of the box a whopping 24% was used (~15GB). Like its predecessor, Mi A2 support Google's Android One program which means Xiaomi adapting the stock Android OS with Xiaomi's own camera application loaded inside. The Android OS which Mi A2 is running on Oreo 8.1 out of the box and it does s...
