TCL COMMUNICATION Launches All-New BLACKBERRY® KEYone

TCL Communication, a leading global smartphone manufacturer, has unveiled the all-new BlackBerry KEYone. It represents the first BlackBerry smartphone released by TCL Communication under a new brand licensing agreement signed in December 2016 with BlackBerry Limited.

Offering users all the great smartphone features you’d expect – great camera, display and design – in a distinctly different experience, the KEYone pairs the best of BlackBerry Limited’s software and security with TCL Communication’s commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable smartphones to customers around the world.

“Impressively designed to be distinctly different, the BlackBerry KEYone reimagines how we communicate by offering unmatched productivity and the world’s most secure Android smartphone experience,” said Nicolas Zibell, CEO for TCL Communication. “We’re humbled to play such an important role in the future of BlackBerry smartphones, which have been so iconic in our industry, and we’re eager to prove to the BlackBerry community that their excitement around this new BlackBerry smartphone is something they can be proud of as well.”

“We want to congratulate TCL Communications on the launch of KEYone,” said Alex Thurber, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mobility Solutions for BlackBerry. “We have worked closely with TCL to build security and the BlackBerry experience into every layer of KEYone, so the BlackBerry DNA remains very much in place. We couldn’t be more excited to help bring it to market and introduce it to BlackBerry fans.”

DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT

Tucked into an anodized aluminum frame and soft touch textured back, this new BlackBerry smartphone is built to offer the best in durability while still remaining easy on the eyes. Featuring a 4.5-inch display (1620×1080 resolution / 434 PPI 3:2 aspect ratio) with Corning ® Gorilla® Glass 4 that offers greater impact and scratch resistance, the KEYone combines a touch display with a physical keyboard to give users more useable space for typing than a typical 5.5-inch all-touch smartphone.

With BlackBerry KEYone, you can forget what you knew about keyboards. The device’s Smart Keyboard responds to touch gestures mimicking the heritage of the BlackBerry trackpad making web browsing, reading emails and writing messages with flick typing a much smoother and intuitive experience. This Smart Keyboard can also be easily programmed to launch up to 52 customizable shortcuts, such as pressing “I” for your inbox or “M” to access maps; providing even greater ease of use. In addition, KEYone is the first smartphone to provide the security of a fingerprint sensor built directly into the keyboard spacebar, for added functionality and security.

DISTINCTLY BLACKBERRY

Beyond the iconic BlackBerry design that’s been curated for the modern user, the BlackBerry KEYone comes with a number of features and security enhancements making this smartphone distinctly BlackBerry. Out of the box, the device runs Android 7.1 – giving users access to the entire Google Play store and apps – and will receive Google security patch updates. It comes loaded with BlackBerry Hub®, bringing all your messages into one consolidated place; including emails, texts and messages from any social media account. Another benefit of BlackBerry Hub is the ability to manage multiple email accounts without switching between apps, with support for Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, Microsoft Exchange accounts, and many other IMAP and POP3 email providers.

What really sets a BlackBerry smartphone apart from any other Android device are the enhanced security features built into every device right from the start. From a hardened operating system to BlackBerry Limited’s proprietary technique for establishing a hardware root of trust adding security keys to the processor, the BlackBerry KEYone is intentionally designed to offer the most secure Android smartphone experience possible.

This device comes pre-loaded with DTEK™ by BlackBerry, offering constant security monitoring and protection of your operating system and apps by letting you know when your privacy could be at risk and how you can take action to improve it. A quick glimpse lets you see the overall security rating for your device and provides simple access allowing you to easily improve your security status. This BlackBerry security application monitors your other apps, alerting you if one is accessing your camera to take a picture or video, turning your microphone on, sending a text message, or accessing your contacts or location.

THE BLACKBERRY KEYONE EXPERIENCE

Beyond the design and security features making the BlackBerry KEYone so distinct, these additional features truly reinvent mobile communications for the business and enterprise user.

At the core of this new BlackBerry smartphone is the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 625 mobile platform with the Qualcomm® Adreno™ 506 GPU. This means BlackBerry KEYone users will enjoy long battery life thanks to more efficient battery usage and fast LTE speeds for super-fast file sharing. It includes Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 3.0 technology, making it possible for the 3505 mAh battery on the KEYone – the largest ever in a BlackBerry device, to receive up to 50 percent charge in roughly 36 minutes. And for when you only have a few moments to grab a fast charge, BlackBerry’s Boost can turbo charge your battery to get you the most charge with the limited time you have.

“We are proud to be working with TCL on the BlackBerry KEYone,” said Enrico Salvatori, senior vice president and president, Qualcomm EMEA. “The Snapdragon 625 mobile platform with X9 LTE and the Adreno 506 GPU is purpose-built for users who demand superior performance and connectivity coupled with outstanding battery-life.”

The BlackBerry KEYone experience would not be complete though without a great camera. That’s why it includes a 12MP rear camera with the industry leading Sony IMX378 camera sensor. With a large pixel size (1.55μm) and Phase Detect Auto Focus, moments captured on the BlackBerry KEYone will be ultra-crisp and clear. And for when you have to take a video conference on the go, it includes an 8MP front camera with fixed focus and 84-degree wide angle lens.

PRICE & AVAILABLITY

Customers are able to pre-book their units online exclusively through Lazada Malaysia (www.lazada.com.my) & 11Street (www.11street.my) from now until 19th June 2017.

Fazura Bakal Lancar Single Berkembar iaitu Bisa Apa dan Bangun

Sebaik mengikat kontrak bersama Universal Music Malaysia yang diberi kepercayaan untuk mengurus karier beliau sejak beberapa bulan lalu, nampaknya Fazura tidak mempersiakan ruang dan ‘rezeki’ yang diberikan.Hal ini kerana pada saat khalayak masih lagi menikmati lagu-lagu kolaborasinya bersama Estranged (Hancur Aku), Jason Dy (Nothing Like Pag Ibig / Nothing Like Cinta), Dan terbaru bersama Fattah Amin untuk lagu “Cinderella”, Fazura kini bersedia melancarkan  koleksi singlenya sendiri.

Bukan satu, tetapi beliau memilih untuk melancarkan dua single secara serentak yang akan dapat dinikmati khalayak pada 16 Jun ini.Dua single tersebut adalah Bisa Apa dan Bangun. Menariknya, kedua-dua hit tersebut memiliki keistimewaan dan kisah tersendiri.Bisa Apa merupakan hasil penuh karyawan terkenal Indonesia iaitu Tantra Numata dan Mhala Numata dan diproduksi sepenuhnya di Indonesia termasuk proses mastering yang dihasilkan di Bandung.

Menjadi salah sebuah runut bunyi dalam drama rantaian fenomena Hero Seorang Cinderella, Bisa Apa dibikin khusus buat Fazura yang terkesan boleh didengar pada penyampaian dan lenggok vokalnya.Dibalut dalam ritma balada yang cukup indah dengan permainan banyak instrumen termasuk gesekan cello dan biola, Fazura mendendangkan lagu ini dengan cukup baik dan Bisa Apa dapat ‘dirasa’ menusuk ke dalam hati.

“Pertama kali mendengar material ‘raw’ yang dihantar, saya terus jatuh cinta dengan lagu ini.

“Bisa Apa seperti mempunyai satu tarikan yang tersendiri dari segi susunan muzik dan liriknya,” ujar Fazura teruja.

Berbeza dengan Bangun yang dihasilkan sepenuhnya oleh karyawan Malaysia, single ini berentak ‘catchy’ dan berbaur inspirasi.Dihasilkan oleh Ilyahida selaku komposer, Ruviyamin sebagai arranger dan Ahmad Kemat Khair pada posisi produser, Bangun begitu mudah dikaitkan dengan kehidupan Fazura yang begitu positif.

“Bangun merupakan sebuah lagu yang melambangkan kekuatan. Sebuah kejayaan itu boleh dikecapi jika kita sentiasa pilih untuk bangun dari setiap kajatuhan. Kajatuhan itu pada saya ada tersembunyi hikmah istimewa.”

“Jadi saya harap, semua yang mendengar lagu ini juga akan terus bangun biarpun berhadapan dengan banyak hal yang buruk dalam kehidupan,” ujar Fazura.

Untuk melengkapkan ‘kelahiran’ Bangun, sebuah klip video akan dihasilkan selepas sambutan Aidilfitri nanti. Merupakan duta kepada telefon pintar Neffos, tentulah jenama terkenal ini turut serta bertanggungjawab menjadikan klip video yang dihasilkan Fazura menjadi lebih menarik; di mana pemenang-pemenang dipilih akan membuat penampilan istimewa dalam klip video tersebut bersama Fazura.

Sementara itu, Pengarah Urusan Universal Music Malaysia dan Singapura, Kenny Ong melahirkan rasa teruja dengan perkembangan positif dalam pengurusan karier nyanyian Fazura  yang disifatkan sebagai agak ‘laju’.

“Kita baru menjalinkan kerjasama, namun pihak Universal bersama Fazura tidak hanya mengikat kontrak di atas kertas tanpa memberi sebarang hasil. “Malah dalam tempoh tersebut, Fazura telah menjalin kolarasi dengan Jason dari Filipina dan kini muncul dengan sebuah single yang dibikin karyawan Indonesia iaitu Bisa Apa dan Bangun dari Malaysia.

“Sesungguhnya saya melihat ini sebagai satu perkembangan yang sangat positif kerana dia sentiasa terbuka untuk menjalin kerjasama dengan sesiapa sahaja tidak kira dari dalam atau luar negara juga orang baharu atau lama, asalkan ia membuahkan hasil yang baik,” jelas Kenny Ong.

 

adidas Football Reveals New 2017/18 Kits For UEFA Champions League Winners, Real Madrid

adidas Football and Real Madrid today revealed the club’s new kits for the 2017/18 season, inspired by the club’s loyal fans – the Madridistas – and the city of Madrid.

The new home kit is designed to bring the players and fans of Real Madrid closer together with a shirt suited to the streets of Madrid as it is the Santiago Bernabeu. The introduction of sky blue stripes and branding is inspired by the Madrid sky to represent the connection between club and city.

The classic white of Real Madrid is more prominent than ever before thanks to a new stripe design that cuts off at the shoulders. A memorial stamp at the bottom of the jersey commemorates the club’s 115 year anniversary.

The new away kit draws inspiration from previous black Madrid jerseys worn by the club in some of its most successful moments. The kit continues the theme of the home kit with a new trim colour – this time with turquoise green stripes. The Real Madrid logo is re-imagined in Turquoise Green with a neon effect to stand out against the black.

As well as the bold new design, each shirt is built with the latest adidas performance technology. The use of Climacool technology ensures players stay cool and perform at their best even in the toughest conditions. The kit is made of a new fabric that is softer and more comfortable for players on the pitch, and fans off it.

From today, both kits are available for purchase in the Real Madrid online store, in adidas global retail stores and the adidas online shop (www.adidas.com/football​).

“Bagi rakyat Malaysia, Ramadan adalah waktunya untuk bersama keluarga, berhimpun sesama anggota masyarakat dan juga bulan untuk kebajikan dengan membantu mereka yang kurang bernasib baik. Sebagai sebuah syarikat bertaraf global yang berada di negara ini sejak 80 tahun lalu, Coca-Cola gembira kerana dapat menyumbang kepada anggota masyarakat di tempat di mana kami menjalankan perniagaan,” kata Pengurus Negara, Malaysia, Singapura dan Brunei The Coca-Cola Company, Ahmad Yehia.

Program kebajikan tahunan pada bulan Ramadan Muslim Aid Malaysia Fast2Feed tahun ini yang diadakan di 26 lokasi di seluruh negara ditaja oleh Coca-Cola dengan menyediakan hidangan berbuka puasa dan barangan keperluan kepada 4,000 penerima, termasuk duit Raya dan pakaian baharu bagi memberikan keceriaan kepada mereka sepanjang Ramadan ini seterusnya menyambut Hari Raya.

Pada program yang dijalankan, sementara menunggu waktu berbuka puasa, kanak-kanak yang terbabit akan dihiburkan dengan aktiviti seni dan kerjatangan manakala kakitangan Coca-Cola dari cawangan seluruh negara akan melayan mereka sewaktu majlis berbuka puasa dan turut terbabit dengan aktiviti yang diadakan.

Memasuki tahun kelapan, kerjasama antara Coca-Cola dengan Muslim Aid Malaysia turut menyaksikan pembabitan beberapa pelanggan Coca-Cola Malaysia – Texas Chicken, Mydin, AEON Big, CapitaLand Malaysia dan PNB Commercial – yang memberikan sentuhan istimewa pada majlis yang diadakan dengan memberikan cenderahati untuk menjadikan apa yang dilalui sebagai satu pengalaman yang cukup bermakna.

“Pembabitan berterusan Coca-Cola membolehkan Muslim Aid Malaysia meningkatkan capaiannya terhadap lebih ramai komuniti kurang bernasib baik tahun demi tahun. Kami amat mengalu-alukan sumbangan masyarakat awam, sama ada orang perseorangan atau syarikat korporat untuk bersama kami membantu dan menunjukkan keprihatinan kepada mereka yang memerlukan terutama pada bulan Ramadan,” Pengerusi Lembaga Pemegang Amanah Muslim Aid Malaysia, Habsah Marjuni.

Selain itu, program latihan Coca-Cola Malaysia untuk usahawan – Coca-Cola Komuniti Usahawan (Coca-Cola KU) juga mengambil tempat sepanjang Ramadan ini yang mana 30 usahawan wanita yang dibimbing di bawah program yang dijalankan di seluruh negara itu, menjalankan perniagaan di beberapa Bazar Ramadan, menjual pelbagai hidangan enak.

Bagi menceriakan Bazar Ramadan berkenaan, pelbagai acara dirancang seperti lawatan oleh watak siri televisyen popular, Mak Cun yang dibawakan Erma Fatimah, yang juga peniaga kecil yang berusaha menjadi usahawan berjaya di desanya, juga siaran langsung oleh penyampai radio dari beberapa stesen radio serta kehadiran trak Coca-Cola.

Turut bersama Coca-Cola tahun ini adalah Pengurus Operasi, perniagaan Coca-Cola di Palestin, National Beverage Company, Mohamad Safi, 35, yang pertama kali meraikan Ramadan di Malaysia kerana mengikuti program pertukaran dan mendalami proses perniagaan di loji berteknologi tinggi Coca-Cola Malaysia di Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. Sebagai timbal balik kepada program ini, kakitangan Coca-Cola Malaysia akan dihantar ke National Beverage Company untuk berkhidmat di sebuah daripada empat lojinya yang mengeluarkan minuman Coca-Cola untuk penduduk negara itu.

COMMUTE THE BEST WITH WAZE!

Millions of Malaysians travel each year for Hari Raya. As a navigation solution that can provide both historical data and real-time conditions to help drivers outsmart holiday traffic, Waze has used key metric data from last year to help users avoid traffic during peak hours around one of the busiest driving holidays of the year.

To support the Malaysian public this Aidilfitri, Waze has analysed its 2017 Hari Raya app usage, including the four weeks before and after to obtain a baseline average.

This year, Waze is releasing its travel statistics for key metros from 21 June 2017 (Wednesday) to 25 June 2017 (Sunday).

To assist Wazers in their drives this Raya, Waze also advises using its “Planned Drives” feature; you simply tell the app when you need to reach your destination, and it will then alert you as to when you should leave, while taking into account things like expected traffic conditions, aggregated traffic history, and to avoid the ‘exodus’ effect – a mass departure of people at any one point of time.

Waze has recorded that the highest number of users are here in Malaysia in all of Asia, recording a number of 2.5 million users in Kuala Lumpur, contributing nearly 1.2 million alerts such as accidents and potholes per month. Drivers also use the app to collectively drive more than 288 million kilometers per month!
