Huawei P30 Lite Unboxing and Hands-On

The Huawei P30 series has changed the camera game again in the smartphone industry as the pro version introduces a quad-camera setup with amazing Leica lens along with the triple-camera setup of the Huawei P30 but in case you don’t have the budget for the two, you can opt for the Huawei P30 Lite that has a lower specs and hardware inside. Interested? Check out our hands-on of the smartphone below.

Huawei P30 Lite Specs

  • 6.15-inch Full HD+ Display, 19.3:9 Display
  • Huawei Kirin 710 processor
  • 6GB RAM
  • 128GB Internal Storage

Despite the Leica branding on this smartphone, we can’t deny the fact that the Huawei P30 Lite’s design is beautiful and really ergonomic. The triple lens camera might not be the same with the Huawei P30 but it does its job and well, there’s the wide-angle lens that I really love to use to take wider frame shots.

The Huawei P30 Pro is now available for Php16,990

Future ASUS ROG notebooks will have a 4K OLED display option

When it comes to display, having a 120Hz display or more is really essential for gaming as you can have a bigger advantage compared to your enemies especially on FPS games like PUBG, Apex Legends, and Fortnite but for those people  but for some people, they would prefer having an OLED display due to the accurate and vivid colors of the display and better blacks and during Computex 2019 at the ASUS booth, we’ve seen the first ASUS ROG notebook to sport a 4K OLED display.

Well, it isn’t the first display to sport an OLED panel as Razer has done it too with their Razer 15. Unfortunately, the OLED display is capped at 60Hz refresh rate so you won’t get the same smoothness and feel of the 240Hz panels on most ROG Notebooks. But hey, at least we’re getting an OLED display which is the choice for some people.

The 4K OLED display will arrive first on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus S and selected future models will also have the option to have a 4K OLED display.

ASUS ROG Strix XG17 Portable Monitor: The monitor for gamers on the go

One of the products that I personally love from ASUS is their portable monitors and in a surprising move, ASUS ROG has launched the ASUS ROG Strix XG17, newest portable monitor for those people who are always on the go. It’s the perfect accessory for those who want to play games or for those streamers who want to have an external monitor that they can bring anywhere with a really silky smooth 240Hz display.

The ASUS ROG STRIX XG17 comes with a 17.3-inch IPS Full HD panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 3ms response time which is the fastest on a portable display in the world and this means that this portable monitor is really perfect for gaming.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG17 is pretty light too at 800 grams with a built-in battery that can support 3 hours of battery at 240Hz refresh rate on a single charge with support for fast-charging.

But of course, if you want to use the monitor for normal usage then you can opt for a lower refresh rate thanks to its adaptive-sync technology which will help to improve the battery life of the portable monitor.

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo Hands-On and First Impressions

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo Hands-On and First Impressions

ASUS has unveiled its most innovative laptop to date and it’s the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo. Why is it innovative? Well, because the device packs a dual display but unlike the Macbook’s touch bar, the Acer Zenbook Pro Duo features a larger and better display that you can use as a secondary display or it can be used for different functions or applications.

First things first. Let’s talk about the design and build quality of the notebook. This one packs a magnesium-alloy build and surprisingly, it does look premium and heavy but once you hold it, the Zenbook Pro Duo does feel light to the hand despite the thickness of the notebook.

Yep, the notebook is thick but it’s quite reasonable as ASUS has managed to include a large Screenpad Plus display which means that the notebook does need ventilation and more space for the controllers of the display. Speaking of vents, the vents can be seen on both sides of the notebook and again, the notebook is too thick.

Similar to the ASUS ROG Zephyrus S, the layout of the keyboard is placed below the secondary display along with the touchpad that features a numberpad too with just a press of a button. There’s a shortcut button too for the turbo boost and also the switching of applications from the main display to secondary or vice versa.

Let’s talk about the display of the notebook. First, we got a 15.6-inch 4K OLED display that looks really vivid and the blacks were really good at this one as expected. And of course, the secondary isn’t disappointing too as this one packs a 14″ LCD IPS Screenpad Plus with a resolution of 3840×1100.

When it comes to the secondary display, there’s a button too on the display that will show you the different application that you can run on the secondary and also a shortcut to open up to quadruple apps simultaneously. This made the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo really unique as you can do multitasking on this one and also do some cross reference with your other applications.

The secondary display has a lot of uses. You can use it for just casual usage when you want to open a lot of Google Chrome browsers in different windows so you can easily see your chats and other applications and you can also use it for streaming with the main monitor for games with the secondary monitor for for the streaming applications and the comments.

You can also use the two monitors as one which is perfect for video editing with the timeline can be seen on the secondary display and the main display for the other elements and since both of the displays are touch screen, this is perfect swiping and navigating on the secondary display. Not just that, you can also use a stylus for the secondary display so you can easily write on the secondary display or just use it for content creation.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo will be available soon in the Philippines and as of this posting, there’s no word regarding local pricing and availability.

ASUS ROG notebooks will now come in Glacier Blue

If you think that the black color of ASUS ROG notebooks are getting dull and boring and the white color is getting too mainstream from different brands. Well, ASUS will be offering a new color for their ROG products and it’s the Glacier Blue color. Yep, a new color that is lighter and a complete contrast of the current color offering of ASUS ROG notebooks.

The color is actually nearer to silver and it does complement other colors like black. However, I still prefer the black one but it’s nice to see that the company is going for another color hue for their gaming line.

Well, if you want to have a new color hue for your ROG notebooks then better wait for this one as ASUS ROG devices with Glacier Blue will be coming soon to the market.
