I am pretty sure once in a while you will face this situation whereby you have too many chargers to carry for a trip. It depends on the number of gadgets you have. You will be very lucky if you are not in the Apple Ecosystem whereby you need to have another lightning cable for your iOS devices. However, it does not matter whether you are an Android or Apple user, but when you have more than 2 devices with you, all problems are the same. You just need to find a very powerful yet safe charger to charge all the power-hungry devices, especially if you have an iPad that requires an 18W and above charger plus if you have a laptop. You will have at least or the most 2 chargers with you all the time. My god! I just wrote e a whole paragraph to describe how messy is this situation in the modern tech world. One of the chargers that I bought many years ago is this Xiaomi 6 port charger which can output 60W. The second charger I bought is from ZMI with 65W. All the above 2 charges are not able to

At the time I am preparing this review, the latest smartphone from Oppo is the Oppo Reno6 series. But unfortunately, I did not manage to purchase that unit. What I have with me today is Oppo Reno5. I have limited personal experiences with the Oppo brand. My first Oppo smartphone was Oppo Reno4, which I had a very bad experience with because I couldn't register Banking application. I couldn't wait and did not troubleshoot it. Fast forward, here I am now to share with you my experiences in using this unit.
Now I am using the front camera shooting with 1080p, 30fps only. I will type out the camera hardware specification at the label below. One of the (and the only) marketing points throughout the whole launching video is the AI capability to have AI HDR on the video. It was a new feature at that time because most of the AI feature is only on the photo, NOT the video. Nowadays, you don't smartphone because it can make calls and send sms. You buy a smartphone because you want to take better pictures and videos.
The 1st part of the video will be video shooting at night time and some sample photos.
The 2nd part of the video will be video shooting in daylight and some sample photos.
One of the missing features in Oppo Reno5 compare to Oppo Reno4 is the 960 fps smart slow-motion video. You still can shot slow-motion and according to the official website, it can shoot up to 120fps with 720p. But one of the requirements to shot slow-motion is sufficient lightning source, otherwise, the video will be darkened and the quality deteriorates.
Another missing feature is AI Highlight Video. I wonder how many of you do use that feature? [tongue out]
The 3rd part is to test out the hardware performance. This is a Snapdragon 765G. If I compare with Samsung Galaxy A71 that used Snapdragon 730 and Samsung Galaxy A72 that used Snapdragon 720G, obviously you can feel slightly faster and smooth performance> I am not sure this is due to the Colour OS vs Samsung One UI or it is due to the hardware performance. Even though WeTest PerfDog produces more stable fps during Mobile Legend Bang Bang, but, from time to time, when the team fights, I will feel the lagging for split second.
On the battery performance, it is packed with 4,300 mAh only but the ideal standby battery efficiency performance is much better compare to Samsung One UI (something that is so obvious). There isn't any real benchmark because some smartphones will be packed with different capacities, so in a way, it is not a fair comparison on battery performance. You need to use it as though your main phone for 1 to 2 weeks, then you can make the conclusion.
In conclusion, I think Reno series is always maintained as a mid-range and camera focus (who is not) smartphone. However, the recent launch of Oppo Reno6 Pro (International) or Oppo Reno 6 Plus (China) is packed with Snapdragon 888. I would love to try out that unit but the price range is RM 2,500 above, which is out of my league (sad). I particularly like the surface finishing because it is the matte type and will not attract my fingerprint. Furthermore, it is lightweight and the dimension is still comfortable to hold in my hand. If you are picking up a new smartphone for an upgrade, Oppo Reno can be considered an all-rounded performance mid-range smartphone. However, it is still the software that makes me go nuts. For example, when I received an email notification, the screen with light up but no notification details. Maybe some of you find it ok because less disturbing, but for me is not so ok. That's all from me and looking for to see you soon.
Recently, I have been slightly interested in product packaging. Yes, the box, the wrapping, the visual design and everything in a product packaging. Maybe due to the fact that I watch hours of open-box videos that contribute to my sharp eyes on product packaging. Or maybe because of the fact that after I watch this video from DoDoMen and I am overwhelmed by the fact that there are so much information and hard work behind one product packaging. Well, when I was doing my weekly grocery shopping and this product shelf management just caught my attention. I can talk about this picture from 3 different perspectives. First, if you are a consumer and wanted to buy pancakes or waffles, which product really catch your eyeball [literally translate from mandarin]? Obviously is the brand Creapan, right? Why? Because the products are arranged horizon according to your reading habit, which is from left to right. Even the top side of the box is printed with such a big word - PANCAKES. Whereby for t
