Muzik video yang menjadi komponen visual untuk karya ini akan dilancarkan pada 26 Mei dan bakal menyaksikan Airliftz menerokai bakatnya dalam tarian ‘ballroom’ bersama pasangan.

“Muzik video ini cukup sempurna bagi saya sebagai seorang lelaki Melayu Islam yang mahu cuba untuk memecahkan sempadan dalam berkarya. Ia seksi dan sensual tapi tidaklah keterlaluan.”

“Saya inginkan pendengar untuk memahami bahawa terdapat banyak cabang muzik selain aliran perdana. Saya mahu mereka untuk merasai getaran dan membenarkan diri untuk berasa seksi dan berkeyakinan.”, tambahannya lagi.

The vivo Y36 5G is the newest addition to the company’s Y line of entertaining, high-performance smartphones. The Y36 5G merges durability with ease of use to provide customers on a budget the most attractively enjoyable smartphone experience on the street, with a bigger, brighter 6.64-inch FHD+ dotch display, best-in-class features, and great performance.

Don’t be fooled by the fun, fashionable design profile of Y36 5G. Behind the sleek good looks, the latest member of Y series remains packed with features that make it uncompromisingly impressive. Alongside a larger, brighter 6.64-inch display, users will be reassured with its 8 GB of RAM, 8 GB of extended RAM, and 256 GB of storage. A 5000 mAh large battery with 44W FlashCharge means you will never miss a moment, while IP54 water and dust resistance ensures that Y36 5G won’t let you down when the fun gets going.

“The all-new Y36 5G builds on the success of vivo Y series, matching affordability, best-in-class features, gorgeously chiseled good looks, 5G connectivity and a larger, brighter display that makes life even more vibrant. Challenging the status-quo with specs, features, and exceptional design principles, Y36 5G underlines our quest to double the fun in your lifestyle,” said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of vivo.

Higher 5G Performance and Longer Battery Life

The beating heart of the all-new Y36 5G is the latest flagship 5G chipset from MediaTek, the Dimensity 6020. An octa-core, 64-bit processor built on the energy-efficient 7 nm process, the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 packs a pair of Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.2 GHz to take care of the heavy lifting, backed by six power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores that keep things ticking over in the background when multitasking.

This time, Y36 5G brings better performance of Memory Booster with the support of three core sub-features: Extended RAM 3.0, RAM Saver, and Interface Preserver. The inclusion of vivo Extended RAM 3.0 technology means that the 8 GB of LPDDR4X memory of Y36 5G is supplemented with additional virtual memory of 8 GB. This means a faster, lag-free experience and the capability to run over 25 apps without losing momentum. Users will not have to worry about downloading or saving apps, videos or files on the phone thanks to the generous storage of 256 GB.

Despite its slim body, Y36 5G houses a 5000 mAh large battery that can hold its charge for extended HD movie streaming and graphic-intensive gaming sessions. The device also features 44W FlashCharge for impressively fast charging, meaning battery life will no longer impact your lifestyle.

Battery lifespan over time is enhanced further with the vivo Smart Charging Engine, which determines an optimal charging strategy based on whether the screen is on or off, or whether the phone is plugged into a device or charger. This reduces battery deterioration by up to 25%. Charging safety is guaranteed with 24-Dimension Security Protection that monitors the phone, battery, charging chip, Type-C port, cable and adapter to guarantee safe current, voltage, and temperature.

Y36 5G offers incredibly immersive audio thanks to its advanced Hi-Res speaker system, and Audio Booster, which boosts 200% volume, reaching up to 73 dB. In audio scenarios where a headset is not used, it provides an intense auditory experience that users can feel the atmosphere and emotions of each scene, or song with power and clarity.

Elegant Design, Stunning Dotch Display

Y36 5G is the first Y series model to feature a larger 6.64-inch FHD+ (2388 × 1080) LCD display with a subtle dotch design which minimizes interference with your viewing experience. Despite the larger viewing area, Y36 5G has a remarkable screen-to-body ratio of 91% that is more generous than most flagship offerings. Boasting a refresh rate of 60 Hz, a high touch sampling rate, and P3 color gamut, Y36 5G can be expected to perform perfectly on the sunniest of days, maintaining absolute clarity and visibility thanks to its maximum brightness of 650 nits.

Y36 5G is available in Semporna Green and Mystic black, two new color designs for Y series that will attract attention at first sight. Delivering a new stylishly flat design that exudes elegance and class, Y36 5G incorporates a Dual Ring Design that draws inspiration from the twin-lens reflex features of professional photography devices, embodying a sense of professional imaging. Composite sheet coating gives users a solid in-hand feeling, with a grip that can be trusted, while contoured 2.5D edge curvature adds a genuinely classy feel. Y36 5G is about 8 mm thick, and lightweight in your pocket at just 190 grams.

vivo knows how important it is to be able to rely on your phone in all environments and conditions, which is why Y36 5G has undergone rigorous quality tests to ensure its durability against scratches, accidental drops, and harsh weather conditions. IP54 rating means it’s resistant to dust and water, and well-prepared for the most adventurous of lifestyles.

Device security is also assured. An easy-to-access lock screen is bolstered with a fingerprint scanner integrated within the power button on the device’s right side, allowing users to simultaneously power on and unlock the phone.

Ultra HD Imaging System with Atmospheric Portrait

Y36 5G is a photographer’s dream, especially when it comes to taking creative portrait shots using Atmospheric Portrait. Using the 16 MP HD front portrait camera, users can apply unique light effects that produce personalized, sophisticated selfies.

Multiple portrait styles are also available on both front and rear cameras. Front camera portrait styles include Fresh, Texture, 1980s, Rococo, Gray, Film, Holiday, Kyoto cherry and Tokyo style, while the rear camera boasts Vintage film, French impressions, and Flash portrait. Users can also apply a Face Beauty algorithm which enhances every aspect of the user’s face, brushing up skin tones, and smoothing complexions while beautifying facial features. Finer details can be manually adjusted to achieve specific looks that reflect the unique personality of the user.

Front Portrait mode offers multiple levels of the bokeh effect that can be adjusted to make users stand out as the main subject in the photo. In low-light environments with point light sources, the 2 MP rear bokeh camera offers Bokeh Flare Portrait mode with multiple effects that users can customize, blurring busy backgrounds so that the subject stands out. Double Exposure mode comes in two varieties: Two Exposures which merges two consecutive shots, and Multiple Exposure which blends characters and backgrounds to produce distinctive and surreal photo effects.

The rear camera also supports Super Night Algorithms which use multi-frame denoising to capture vivid details in the most demanding lighting conditions. In environments where several light sources are detected, Al brightening technology captures well-adjusted and balanced pictures. Super Night Algorithms can be combined with Aura Screen Light to capture selfies in the dark with ambient, soft light generated from the phone itself.

Pricing and Availability

vivo Y36 5G is priced at RM1,099. Consumers can get it at all vivo concept stores, authorised dealers, vivo Malaysia’s official E-Store and vivo Malaysia’s official flagship stores on Shopee, Lazada and TikTok.

The vast majority of batteries are incapable of supporting your way of life. Consider gaming as an example. This activity requires a significant amount of power, and charging while playing is generally not an option owing to temperature rises induced by high-performance use. Most smartphones will be affected by this.

You’re faced with a lose, lose situation. Even when battery performance is strong, and the charging is quick, phones often overheat easily. If the battery is too small, the battery life is short and doesn’t provide the longevity you’re looking for. Additionally, if the battery is big enough to allow for longer charge, the phone is too bulky.

Enter Infinix’s NOTE 30 Series. You can say goodbye to charging anxiety and hello to an all-new charging experience.

The Infinix NOTE 30 Series: Ushering in the New Charging Standar

The Infinix NOTE 30 Series, which includes the flagship NOTE 30 Pro and the NOTE 30 in the Malaysian market, offers a next generation fast-charging experience: All-Round FastCharge. Infinix’s intelligent charging innovation considers not just how long it takes a device to charge and how long it retains power but seeks to transform how consumers view what it means to juice up their smartphone.

The NOTE 30 Series delivers a first-of-its-kind super phone in this price range, and the All-Round FastCharge technology reaches new horizons in intelligent smartphone charging innovation, boasting a myriad of unparalleled and vanguard features.

Introducing: All-Round FastCharge

The new smartphone series from Infinix shows consumers what’s possible when it comes to charging scenarios via eight specific features that make up the All-Round FastCharge experience.

Perhaps you woke up in the morning and realised you forgot to charge your phone the night prior. In the time it takes you to eat breakfast and drink your first cup of coffee, you can juice up your phone. The series uses dual-channel fast charge technology with new generation charging pumps to provide industry-leading fast charge capabilities, including up to 68W wired fast charge. The Substrate Switch Charge Pump technology enables a high conversion efficiency of 98.5% with less heat generation. This feature allows users to achieve 80% power from 1% in just 30 minutes.

In addition to the wired fast charge, the series also boasts 15W wireless charge. If you’re someone who enjoys a tidy, cord-free workspace at your desk, the wireless charging feature is perfect for you. This is a flagship feature of the series, making the NOTE 30 Pro Infinix’s first smartphone on the market to offer wireless charging capabilities.

There is no need to stop using the device when it’s plugged in. Imagine you are taking a work break and decide to game with colleagues, but your phone battery is low. No sweat, you can do both – charge your phone and game. The bypass charge feature enables charging directly from the motherboard instead of the battery after the power reaches 30%. Not only does this extend the life of the battery, but it also allows the phone to remain cool while performance is high – so you can continue your winning streak.

The smartphones in the series also act as a charging device for other phones which helps you be the hero friend or family member when they’re running low on charge. Perhaps your friend is awaiting an important work call, but you’re out at lunch with no charger or outlet around. With its wireless reverse charge, users can help power a friend’s device (Android or Apple) by simply touching phone to phone. The NOTE 30 Series supports wired reverse charge as well, which means that the phone acts dually as a phone and a power bank.

If it’s a charger your friend is asking for, the series charger supports PD 2.0, PD 3.0, PPS protocol and other agreements, so it can super charge all type-C electronic devices with a maximum output power of 45W.

Additionally, the series is equipped with Intelligent Power E-IQ to maximise the charging experience over long periods. A lot of charging anxiety comes when it’s time to plug your phone in to charge all night – either concerned that you’re over-charging the device or fearful to leave the charging device unattended. The AI capability learns consumer habits to choose the most efficient charging solution, so it charges the phone to 80% during the night and fully charges the phone before dawn.

Also, for some users, unstable power grids frequently interrupt charging. The NOTE 30 Series uses a closed-loop control strategy of the charge pump to ensure continuous and stable charging. This works because of the added current-limiting function – the charge pump limits the current to the desired value when the charger output fluctuates.

Ultimately, the charging experience of the NOTE 30 Series is grounded in safe, smart, and flexible charging. The devices are equipped with up to a number of 63 protections for charging, including overload, over-temperature, fire protection, over-voltage, short circuit protection, water drop detection, amongst others. This is complemented by a strong battery: The battery is made of high-capacity materials to improve the energy density of the battery, enabling 80% retention of its energy after 1,000 times, far exceeding the conventional standard requirement of 80% energy retention after 500 cycles.

Put simply: You’ll never have to worry about charging safety again.

Today, users have grown to expect a smartphone battery that keeps pace with their lifestyle. The new All-Round FastCharge on the Infinix NOTE Series does just that, all while setting a new industry standard, and consumer expectation.

Terima kasih syarikat MPB terutama pihak pengurusan bahagian Berita dan Ehwal Semasa yang memberi ruang dan peluang, tidak boleh dilupakan tulang belakang, penyokong dan pengkritik hebat saya, yang telah banyak berkorban demi kerjaya wartawan saya ini tak lain tak bukan, suami dan anak-anak serta keluarga tercinta. Merekalah trofi saya yang tidak ternilai.”

Ini juga merupakan kemenangan pertama buat Fedtri Yahya bagi kategori Laporan Radio Terbaik untuk Buletin FM. “Segmen Salam Ya Rasul yang dikendalikan oleh Fedtri Yahya ketika bersiaran di bulan Ramadan tahun lalu, menampilkan kisah-kisah nabi sebagai pengisian jiwa pendengar. Pengalaman mengendalikan Jejak Rasul memudahkan Fedtri untuk meluahkan kepentingan untuk mencintai Rasul. Ia diterjemah melalui perkongsian dalam Seni Kehidupan Rasulullah SAW. Jika tahun lalu memenangi kategori Pengacara TV Terbaik di Anugerah Seri Angkasa melalui Jejak Rasul, tahun ini bagaikan berkesinambungan dengan kejayaan dalam tema yang serupa- Kisah Rasulullah SAW. Ini adalah anugerah pertama dalam dunia radio.”

Kemenangan ini secara tidak langsung dapat  menyuntik semangat kepada para wartawan terutamanya yang baru berkecimpung dalam bidang kewartawanan.
