[Review] Redmi Note 4 - Budget Smartphone with Long Battery Life

Image
[Review] Redmi Note 4 - Budget Smartphone for Parents After two months using this Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, I can finally give my opinion on this RM799 Smartphone. I've using Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge for a long time and had initial perception that Redmi Note 4 might not be up to par or feeds my need. After using it for quite some time, I would say Redmi Note 4 might not be suitable for extreme and high performance usage, but the specs provided is good enough for daily usage and I was quite amazed with the long battery life. Currently Malaysia has two variant of Redmi Note 4: 3GB 32GB and 4GB 64GB version priced at RM949 (RM150 extra)

Clean Water with Cleansui Water Filter System Water filter has already become a must in every household to ensure that we are drinking filtered water and feel safe. However, different quality of water filter does come in different price too. It can range from hundreds to thousands depends on which feature you required. Not every household can afford that expensive  water filter system at home, and some are bulky to install in the kitchen/house.  I've been using this simple-to-install CLEANSUI Water Filter at the kitchen for almost two months now and I will share my verdicts about it below.

Nikon Coolpix S33 Weatherproof Camera Review @ Sunway Lagoon

Image
Up-Close-and-personal experience with Nikon Coolpix S33 at Sunway Lagoon Theme Park Usually all the events that I've attended need to have casual outfit or formal outfit for a grand event. But this time I was in my beach wear for Nikon Malaysia's latest products hands-on at Sunway Lagoon Theme Park.  Cameras like Nikon D5500 DSLR, Nikon 1 J5, Coolpix P900 and Coolpix S33 were the products for us to try out the other day. I didn't manage to try out most of them since there were limited units and no memory cards in it. The main cast of the day was Nikon Coolpix S33 - a waterproof, shockproof, cold-resistant and dustproof camera that is suitable for beginner who want to take photos easily in their outdoor activities (especially underwater). I would like to share some photos taken using Nikon Coolpix S33 compact camera and my opinion after using it.

Samsung NX1 Unboxing by silly TianChad It has been a while since I've shoot an unboxing video. The last video was to unbox a Blackberry smartphone... (woot sounds really long ago). Anyway today I would like to share my quick video unboxing the  Smart Camera NX1, 16-50 mm Premium S Lens, Vertical Grip & Battery Kit. I was busy lately hence sorry for the delay. Currently still trying to get use to the new platform and buttons of Samsung NX1 as it is kinda different from my DSLR. The reason why NX1 could be a good camera for you is when you haven't invest in any camera system and wanted to have a good start in the DSLR like mirrorless smart camera. I will elaborate more after the video. Now please watch the unboxing video to see what are the things hidden inside that big box. Oh yeah, I got myself a Samsung Flash gun to pair it with NX1 too.

Samsung NX1 120FPS Slow-Motion Video Test - Happy Kid At The Beach  By the time I am writing this post it is already 1.30am in the mid-night. The reason why I wanted to write this time down is to remind myself how much time I've spent to figure out how to make the 120p or 120fps video footage recorded using Samsung NX1 usable and editable at Adobe Premiere Pro. Most of the video converter that I found through Google are not free or free but not fully functional without paying for their software. Luckily SourceForge got great contributor that create the video converter for free. Now I can finally use the software that converts H.265 movie file into other codec. Below is the video recorded at 120 frames per second (120fps) using Samsung NX1 at 1080p resolution. People has been comparing it with Panasonic GH4 96fps slow-mo and you may just YouTube that for the comparison video. The main thing that I wanna share with you guys is that with Samsung NX1 you can have high qualit

HTC One Max Review & Price in Malaysia - It's really HUGE!

Image
First Impression on HTC One Max When I first got the HTC One Max, it looks quite huge and even larger than Samsung GALAXY Note 3. It retains the smart, sleek and curvy design of HTC One just that it is larger in size and has the new Fingerprint sensor device right at the back as a new way to unlock your phone/camera. I've been using HTC One Max for quite sometime and there are things that I like and dislike. The main attraction of HTC One Max is none other than its big screen and dual-stereo speakers with built in amplifier at the side. I personally think that HOM (HTC One Max) is very suitable for entertainment purposes especially if you like to watch a lot of YouTube Videos, Online TV Drama and of course gaming too. I always love playing Clash of Clans using it . HTC One Max Review and Price in Malaysia If you've wonder if HTC One Max is good enough for you, scroll down and read more on my personal review:

Samsung GALAXY Gear Review & Price in Malaysia #TCReview

Samsung GALAXY Gear Since the first time I heard about Samsung GALAXY Gear I was curious on how useful it would be to be part of my daily life together with a smartphone like Samsung GALAXY Note 3. Let's check out how does a Samsung GALAXY Gear looks like would ya?? Samsung GALAXY Gear basically is a smartwatch that can do more than a typical watch can do. Other than showing you time and weather at place you are located at, it also allows you to make or answer call directly through the smartwatch. Honestly, I still can't accept myself to answer call through the watch as it makes me feel weird talking to a watch while everybody around you can hear what you say through the speaker embedded to it. Unless you wanna show off that you can do something that James Bond 007 can hahaha Samsung GALAXY Gear 1.9 MP Camera Samsung GALAXY Gear has a smart 1.9 MP Camera There is a 1.9 Mega Pixel camera embedded at the watch strap. I am quiet amazed with the photo quality t

If compared with the first generation of Samsung GALAXY Camera, this S4 Zoom is definitely much better because of its much faster and better performance of the User Interface.  I've compared the speed with my S3 and S4 Zoom is faster too. One of the major downside is the bulky design which makes you look funny when you put it inside your pockets. (Especially tight jeans) All right let's continue to read my Samsung GALAXY S4 Zoom Review :
