OPPO flagship smartphone is only RM1598. The first LTE/4G smartphone by OPPO

In month of May, we have seen so many smartphones companies based in China unveiled one by one their flagship product to Malaysian market. First is Huawei, then OPPO and Xiaomi . They can make high-end quality smartphone without selling it higher price. They have a competitive advantage !

Although people generally look brands when buying a smartphone such as Samsung, Apple, Asus, Lenovo and Huawei. How these smartphone companies based in China compete with international brand ? First make the fact clear that everything practically made from China.

China smartphone brand such as OPPO does not have branding power outside of China although OPPO it quite popular within China with poster and heavy advertisement at popular mall and popular tv show. The thing is that they have a competitive edge that consumer will take seriously that would be price tag. OPPO and Xiaomi's flagship smartphone are being introduced to the market but confused a almost same hardware specifications with Samsung S5 costing RM2199 but they can put a price tag RM1598.

Take for example let look at smartphone OPPO Find 7a that would be unveiling soon in Malaysian market. The specification of OPPO Find 7a are 5.5" screen size with 538 PPI, LTE/4G network supported, Quad core processor, 13 megapixel camera with pure image 2.0 and CMOS sensor, 4k video recording with 1080p at 30fps. Many more !!

A normal smartphone experts would tell you that RM1598 for this smartphone is no doubt a marketing scheme because it does not make sense. Samsung Galaxy S5 just unveiled last month 2014 has the same hardware specifications. In fact, it is true that OPPO put Find 7a price tag at RM1598 for Malaysian fans.

To justify the argument, I am not saying the main point is which one is better than other ! it just Samsung Galaxy S5 will definitely won at some software side. Besides, Samsung is worldwide brand trusted by many consumers that could not be broken. It really self explanatory to compare both great smartphones. It is up to you to decide which one is buy !

Until you touch and use it by yourself, you will never know which one to buy ! Besides, OPPO introduced other two smartphone OPPO JOY and OPPO YOYO in prior the release of Find 7a.


OPPO Find 7a is successor of OPPO Find 5. The new Find 7a is yet to be released into Malaysia market. The date of releasing is May 15, 2014. Pre-order begin on April 16, 2014 and it will end on May 11, 2014. Surprise gifts will be send out in return for supporting OPPO in pre-order event. First 500 pre-orders will be receiving the gift package.

Review on the entry and mid level DSLR Cameras below RM3000



People are started to be attracted by cameras nowadays. Although you can get a right smartphone for a good quality image but a Digital Single Lens Reflex is definitely for those who really really like to take photo. If you are not photographer, you do not need a DSLR. I disagree with the statement.

DSLR camera is a higher level camera than those smartphone and point-and-shoot camera. They are interchangeable lens. You will get quality of image that is unbeatable and only produced by DSLR cameras. It sound like you cant differentiate it but the truth is that large group of peoples thought that a smartphone's camera is all we need

The only thing to look at smartphone camera is megapixel, flash and zoom. That all ! But as a DSLR cameras we will look into more sophisticated knowledge as a photographer should know. There are Lens mount, Sensor size, Focal length equivalent, viewfinder.

A wise consumer should not just look at megapixel/resolution of a camera although it is the main factor to determine a good camera. Sometimes, a 16 MP camera could not beat DSLR full frame camera at 12 MP. Why is that? It is because Sensor size. 

Do not be confused. Most of DSLR camera users are like you and me they do not necessarily know everything about DSLR camera to buy a DSLR camera ! All you need to know the simple fact do you want to learn and spend  $$ for better image quality.


Purchasing a right DSLR camera is different with purchasing a smartphones. In smartphone, We can compare directly about difference in specification. For DSLR cameras, it more about individual preferences. A right DSLR cameras means you need to test it for yourself, hold it yourself. Anyways, you can always purchase an entry-level DSLR cameras first !
