  • HONOR X9d 5G Proves Its Strength: Plasma Cannon & Air Nail Gun Test Passed

    The wait is almost over as HONOR officially confirms the launch of its latest ultra-tough smartphone, the HONOR X9d 5G, scheduled for 24 September 2025. Full specifications and pricing will be revealed on the launch day, but anticipation is already building as the brand introduces a device set to redefine durability standards in the mid-range segment. As the successor to Malaysia’s best-selling mid-range model, the HONOR X9d 5G comes with major upgrades in structural toughness, screen resilience, water and heat resistance, and battery capacity, ensuring a smartphone built for endurance and long-term reliability.

    The HONOR X9d 5G stands out with three industry-first innovations that strengthen its position as one of the most durable smartphones available today. Engineered to survive accidental drops, scratches, and extreme temperatures, the device has been awarded the Industry’s First SGS Triple-Resistant Premium Performance Certification, which confirms its verified resistance to drops, water, heat, and surface damage. It also leads the industry with an IP69K rating, offering superior protection against high-pressure water, steam, and dust, making it one of the most rugged devices in its category. Complementing these features is the industry’s largest smartphone battery, an impressive 8300mAh silicon-carbon unit, designed to deliver exceptional power even in the toughest conditions.

    To prove its claims, HONOR conducted a series of extreme stress tests during a private media preview. In one demonstration, the HONOR X9d 5G was subjected to blasts from a plasma cannon, exposing it to intense heat and pressure far beyond typical real-world scenarios. Despite the punishing conditions, the device continued to function without visible damage. Another test involved firing nails directly at the phone’s display using an industrial-grade air nail gun and a heavy-duty stapler gun. While cans and tempered glass shattered under the same force, the smartphone’s screen remained intact, showcasing its unmatched structural resilience.

    The device also excelled in water and dust resistance trials. It was submerged in an aquarium for hours and later exposed to steaming conditions inside a kitchen steamer, followed by immersion in a soil-and-water mixture to mimic rugged outdoor use. In every situation, the HONOR X9d 5G remained fully functional, reinforcing its capability to withstand demanding environments.

    Beyond durability, battery life is another key highlight. The HONOR X9d 5G’s 8300mAh silicon-carbon battery is the largest of its kind in the industry, offering extended usage for gaming, streaming, and browsing. In comparative tests against 20 other smartphones, it was the last device running, demonstrating its superior endurance. The phone was even able to power a neon LED board through reverse charging for an extended period, proving both its capacity and output efficiency.

    These demonstrations underline HONOR’s commitment to building smartphones that not only perform well but also stand the test of time in real-world scenarios. From high-pressure impacts and extreme heat to water immersion and dusty conditions, the HONOR X9d 5G has been engineered to endure situations beyond the ordinary.

    With its groundbreaking durability, industry-leading certifications, and powerful battery performance, the HONOR X9d 5G is set to elevate expectations for mid-range smartphones. The official launch in Malaysia will take place on 24 September 2025, with consumers invited to follow HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page or visit www.honor.com/my for the latest updates.

  • Menua dengan Martabat: Strategi Penjagaan Warga Emas 2030

    Malaysia kini semakin menghampiri status negara menua, dengan anggaran warga emas dijangka merangkumi 15.3% daripada keseluruhan populasi menjelang 2030. Menurut ramalan, satu daripada setiap lima rakyat Malaysia akan tergolong dalam kategori warga emas menjelang 2040. Peralihan demografi ini dijangka menyumbang kepada peningkatan penyakit tidak berjangkit dan memberi tekanan yang lebih besar kepada sistem penjagaan kesihatan, terutamanya berkaitan penyakit degeneratif yang semakin meningkat.

    Dalam menghadapi cabaran ini, Pusat Perubatan Sunway Velocity bertekad untuk meningkatkan akses warga emas kepada prosedur pembedahan dan rawatan perubatan yang biasa diperlukan, membolehkan mereka mengekalkan kesihatan yang baik, memulihkan mobiliti, dan kembali berdikari. Selain itu, usaha ini juga bertujuan mengurangkan beban yang ditanggung oleh keluarga serta komuniti yang menyediakan sokongan dan penjagaan kepada warga emas. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Pusat Perubatan Sunway Velocity, Susan Cheow, menyatakan bahawa perubahan demografi ini merupakan tanggungjawab yang perlu digalas, dan pihaknya komited menyediakan penyelesaian yang memastikan jaminan kepada warga emas serta keluarga mereka.

    Bagi kebanyakan warga emas, menangguhkan rawatan perubatan sering mengakibatkan penyakit hanya dapat dikesan pada peringkat yang lebih serius. Golongan ini juga merupakan antara mereka yang mempunyai keperluan penjagaan kesihatan tertinggi tetapi tidak dipenuhi, terutamanya kerana kekurangan pengetahuan mengenai rawatan yang tersedia dan kekangan kewangan. Pengarah Perubatan dan Pakar Perunding Kecemasan, Dr Wee Tong Ming, menjelaskan bahawa banyak komplikasi boleh dielakkan jika rawatan diterima lebih awal, sekali gus menjadikan pemulihan lebih cepat dan peluang untuk kembali berdikari lebih tinggi.

    Isu kesihatan yang serius seperti penyakit jantung kekal sebagai penyebab utama kematian di negara ini, manakala strok menyebabkan kehilangan upaya jangka panjang yang mengubah kehidupan harian. Osteoartritis, terutama pada lutut, mengurangkan mobiliti warga emas sehingga aktiviti harian seperti berjalan atau menaiki tangga menjadi lebih sukar. Penyakit yang sering diabaikan seperti batu karang atau hernia juga boleh berkembang secara senyap dan menjadi kecemasan dengan risiko yang lebih tinggi pada usia lanjut. Kesemua keadaan ini bukan sahaja menjejaskan jangka hayat, tetapi juga kemampuan warga emas untuk mengekalkan kemandirian.

    Untuk menangani cabaran ini, Pusat Perubatan Sunway Velocity akan memperkenalkan program Golden Hands for Golden Care dari 10 September hingga 10 November 2025. Program ini menawarkan prosedur pembedahan dan rawatan perubatan yang biasa bagi warga emas berumur 60 tahun ke atas yang membayar sendiri. Fokus utama adalah kepada penyakit berkaitan usia, dengan tujuan memulihkan kesihatan, mobiliti, dan kemampuan untuk kembali berdikari. Dr Wee menekankan bahawa pembedahan yang dilakukan tepat pada masanya meningkatkan peluang pemulihan yang lebih cepat dan membantu pesakit mengekalkan keupayaan diri mereka.

    Manfaat rawatan awal bukan sahaja dirasai oleh pesakit, tetapi turut memberi kesan positif kepada keluarga. Apabila warga emas memperoleh semula kemampuan mereka, keluarga akan menikmati ketenangan fikiran, dan cucu-cicit dapat menghabiskan lebih banyak masa berkualiti bersama atuk dan nenek. Komuniti juga dapat terus mendapat manfaat daripada sumbangan warga tua yang aktif dan terlibat secara sosial. Selain itu, SMCV turut menekankan pemulihan selepas strok bagi membantu pesakit memulihkan kemampuan motor, pertuturan, dan kognitif.

    Pusat Perubatan Sunway Velocity menekankan bahawa penjagaan bukan sekadar merawat penyakit, tetapi memulihkan keupayaan dan keyakinan warga emas supaya mereka dapat mengambil bahagian sepenuhnya dalam kehidupan seharian. Dengan memperluas akses kepada rawatan pembedahan dan prosedur berkaitan usia, SMCV berharap warga emas dapat menerima rawatan yang mereka perlukan tanpa menangguh. Program ini diharapkan menjadikan rawatan perubatan berkualiti lebih mudah diakses dan bermakna bagi warga emas di Malaysia. Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai program Golden Hands for Golden Care, orang ramai boleh melayari laman sesawang SMCV atau hadir berunding dengan pakar bedah yang terlibat.

    Pusat Perubatan Sunway Velocity terletak di Lingkaran SV, Sunway Velocity. Sebarang pertanyaan boleh dibuat melalui telefon di talian +603 9772 9191 atau emel smcv-enquiry@sunway.com.my. Maklumat lanjut mengenai SMCV juga boleh diperoleh di www.sunwaymedicalvelocity.com.my.

  • Samsung Kicks Off Global Rollout of One UI 8 for Galaxy Users

    Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the official rollout of One UI 8, the latest version of its user experience platform. This update brings advanced multimodal AI capabilities, a refined interface optimized for different device form factors, and personalized suggestions designed to make everyday life smarter and more convenient. The rollout begins this week with the Galaxy S25 series and will extend to the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy S24 FE, and additional eligible Galaxy models later this year.

    One UI 8 introduces a smarter and more personal Galaxy experience, recognizing the user’s context and offering proactive recommendations tailored to individual daily routines. Enhanced by Galaxy AI, the system delivers meaningful personalization while maintaining a strong commitment to privacy. At its core is a combination of advanced personalization features and upgraded security tools that work together to anticipate user needs without compromising sensitive information.

    Among the new additions are improvements to the FlexWindow on the Galaxy Z Flip, which now displays real-time app activity and media player progress with integration across a broader selection of third-party apps. Daily updates are also enhanced through Now Brief, which provides personalized traffic alerts, important reminders, and Samsung Moments that help users reflect on daily activities. Recommendations for music, video, and health insights from the Galaxy Watch are now easily accessible, creating a more connected ecosystem.

    Security is also at the forefront of One UI 8. The new Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection, or KEEP, introduces a security architecture that creates app-specific encrypted storage environments, ensuring each app has access only to its own sensitive information. Knox Matrix extends protection further by automatically signing devices out of the Samsung Account when high-risk activity is detected, sending alerts across connected Galaxy devices, and offering guidance to protect user data. In addition, Secure Wi-Fi has been upgraded with post-quantum cryptography, designed to defend against emerging threats and ensure stronger privacy even when connected to public networks.

    With its multimodal AI, One UI 8 transforms how users interact with Galaxy devices by combining visual, auditory, and contextual intelligence. Gemini Live allows seamless communication with AI that can interpret what the user is seeing or watching in real-time, while Circle to Search with Google expands gaming support by providing instant strategies, character details, and real-time translations directly on screen without switching apps. These tools make tasks more intuitive and efficient, blending AI assistance naturally into everyday use.

    The interface has also been optimized to suit multiple form factors across smartphones and tablets. AI Results View enables multitasking by displaying AI outputs in separate floating or split views while keeping original content visible. With Galaxy AI tailored for larger screens, users can easily drag and drop AI-generated text and images into their workflow, streamlining productivity. Creative tools such as Drawing Assist and Writing Assist further support smoother idea development. On the Galaxy Z Flip, Gemini Live now operates directly on the FlexWindow, allowing hands-free voice assistance. Other additions include Audio Eraser, which removes background noise with a single tap, and a new adaptive clock design that adjusts dynamically around photos without obscuring key details. FlexWindow customization has also been expanded with curated wallpapers, emoji themes, and personalized background colors.

    One UI 8 enhances communication and creativity through AI-powered tools such as Portrait Studio, which generates artistic pet portraits, Call Captions that convert voices into text during calls, and Interpreter with keyboard input for quick translations. Together, these features deliver a versatile experience that is both intelligent and personalized.

    In Malaysia, the rollout of One UI 8 will begin on September 18, 2025, with the Galaxy S25 series, followed by the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Galaxy Z Flip6 on September 25. The Galaxy S23 series and Galaxy Z Fold5 and Z Flip5 will receive the update on October 2, while the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 will be updated on October 6. The Galaxy S21 FE will receive the update on October 16.
