Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

Realme may become an independent brand from it's parent company Oppo


Chung Hsiang-wei, the Chief Commercial Officer of Realme Taiwan has made a very surprising statement that has left us thinking. As we all know, Realme is a sub-brand that's owned by the Dongguan-based Chinese telecommunications corporation Oppo. Listening to the new conversation between Chung Hsiang-wei and DIGITIMES, Realme is in plans to be an independent firm from their parent company Oppo, if their business continues to grow successfully.

The Shenzhen-based smartphone maker is said to have their own Research and Development team away from Oppo and is now expected to build their own ecosystem and production lines for manufacturing future Realme branded devices. Hsiang-wei also mentioned that they are still sharing resources with the parent brand. He also added that 60% of Oppo's customers are interestingly females and 60% of Realme's users are males. According to the CCO of Realme, Oppo is slowly getting into that premium division of products, meanwhile Realme is more towards fashion-centric handsets. From his words they are also looking to focus further on wearables and true wireless stereo (TWS) headset development.

Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G's first look shared on Twitter


Yesterday we made our views clear on the newly surfaced screenshot that was shared on the internet claiming to be taken from the upcoming Oppo Reno 3 smartphone. We even reported that we may get to see a punch hole camera design on the handset as the screenshot was uploaded with an empty space next to the time display on the top left corner. And now, we have the company's Vice President and President of Global Marketing, Brian Shen sharing an image on his official Twitter handle giving us a possible look on their next generation Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G. We don't know if there are two models in pipeline for Oppo to be released next month as the new handset here looks to carry the name "Pro". According to Shen, the new dual-mode 5G powered Reno 3 Pro will ship with a glass body measuring just 7.7mm in thickness excluding the lens bump. The company also said that this phone may be the thinnest dual-mode 5G supported smartphone in the market for this price segment. Taking a closer look at Oppo's Reno 3 Pro here, we can see a full notch-less display with rounded corners featuring really narrow bezels and the power button placement towards the left side. The phone looks to be painted in a shade of Blue as well. We are not able to confirm the claims of a punch hole camera design for the latest addition of Reno just yet, as the picture shared by Brian Shen seems to have cut off from the top left side leaving us wondering.

Oppo Reno 3 expected to pack a punch hole camera design


Oppo Reno 3 is the rumored new Android smartphone up from the Chinese that is expected to make it's launch officially next month, and while we wait for the handset to get introduced formally by Oppo, a screenshot seem to have made rounds on Weibo in the company's home country that has caught everyone's eyes lately. During the launch of ColorOS 7, we've heard from the manufacturer that their new device will come featuring the dual-mode 5G support. And now with the help of this newly shared screenshot we assume that the upcoming Reno 3 will have a punch hole camera design instead of their traditional pop-up selfie cameras we have seen on it's predecessors.

From the screenshot attached below you can spot a small space in the upper left corner aside the time display. This empty space on the side could hint the phone to carry a punch hole camera arrangement. We can't assure you about the authenticity of the screenshot here as we will have to wait for more news on the device itself. Apart from the camera unit we also see the presence of 5G on the phone with modes to actually turn on and turn off the faster network connection in the screenshot. There are also other reports suggesting that the phone is supposedly coming with a 6.5" FHD+ AMOLED display at 90Hz refresh rate also traiting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 735 chipset and 8GB of RAM. For storage you can expect 128GB or 256GB of space and a 4500mAH powered battery capable of 30W fast charging. Rumors also suggest a quad camera setup on the back with 60MP primary lens and a 32MP alleged punch hole style front facing secondary camera.
