OTG cables are fantastic little accessories to have at all times. They're not widely available, and not widely known too, for that matter. This little OTG cable converts your whatever device with USB-A headers to USB-C or micro-USB. they're available in quite a lot of different shapes, lengths, and designs, actually.

Here's where things get a little interesting - the idea of AI in a smartphone. Why should it exist? Simple - it manages the hardware resources properly and see what's going on with it. Huawei does have something called Machine Learning Algorithm, or MLA for short, in their current smartphone. However, MLA is not available for all Huawei smartphones.

It's no surprise that some of us need a budget phone. Now, this budget phone doesn't need to be super high-end.

Portrait photography is simple, but its feature integration and application in practical photography is beyond just portraits. It is called portrait mode, but its name can be rather misleading as it is not particularly optimized or used only for faces and portraits.

We've seen many smartphones in the past from big brands like Samsung, Huawei, ASUS, Lenovo, and many more. They do offer budget-oriented devices - but General Mobile's smartphones are specifically made with Google's Android One standards. Take it as a "budget vanilla optimized experience", if that makes any sense. General Mobile's GM 5 Plus is one of the Android One smartphones.

Alright, before you start saying that the price of this smartphone is insanely high (which I understand), I urge you to read through these few points about the ASUS ZenFone AR before making any conclusive judgment.

Seems like OnePlus is coming to Malaysia really early this iteration! The OnePlus 5 has already started its pre-order window from now until 6th...
