The match, akin to a battle between David & Goliath, saw guests from U Mobile gathered together at the ‘U Mobile Road to Cardiff Tengok Bola Live Party’ to cheer for their favorite teams and participated in the evening’s activities.

A sea of people in red jerseys, which is the official jersey colour for both football teams, flooded the entrance of the shopping mall, and was seen cheering their favourite teams as Cardiff City FC take on last season’s BPL championship titleholder Manchester United. Fans of the respective teams burst into cheers and victory chants whenever their favourite team scored a goal. The thrilling match between Cardiff City and Manchester United ended with a 2-2 draw, much to the delight of the fans.

U Mobile, the official telecommunication partner for Cardiff City FC, brought greater excitement to the viewing party by organizing fun activities, lucky draws and games to engage and reward their customers at the ‘U Mobile Road to Cardiff Tengok Bola Live Party’.

“Apart from offering great quality, best value mobile services to our customers, we strive to elevate their mobile experience with U Mobile through value-added services and special engagement initiatives, attesting to our commitment of being a customer-centric telco,” she added.

The U Mobile Road to Cardiff Tengok Bola Live Party’ saw various U Mobile partners playing different roles in bringing the spirit of football to the guests that largely made up of loyal customers of U Mobile, members of the media as well as the management team of the company. Besides treated to a delectable feast, guests also had the opportunity to win cool prizes such as brand new Samsung GALAXY S4, Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3 through lucky draws and games organized by U Mobile and its partners.

This initiative is part of U Mobile’s “Road to Cardiff’ campaign, where the telco offers its customers the opportunity to win once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch a Barclays Premier League football match live in Cardiff City. U Mobile has just recently flown two winners and their partners to Cardiff City to watch the Cardiff City vs Manchester United football match, which was being played during the viewing party.

Get Closer with the Samsung GALAXY S4 zoom

A revolutionary new device that converges the best of a high performance smartphone and camera, the GALAXY S4 zoom delivers the best of mobile connectivity and digital imaging

Kuala Lumpur, 12 August 2013 – Samsung Malaysia Electronics recently announced the launch of the Samsung GALAXY S4 zoom, a powerful new device which combines the stylish heritage of the latest GALAXY S4 smartphone with advanced photographic capabilities.

Part of the GALAXY S4 family, the GALAXY S4 zoom is the realisation of Samsung’s mission to create a single device that can fulfill the roles of both an industry leading smartphone and a high-end compact camera. Combining 10x Optical Zoom, 16 Mega Pixel CMOS Sensor, OIS and Xenon Flash with the very latest Samsung GALAXY S4 technology, the GALAXY S4 zoom sets new standards for perfect mobile photography.

“With the GALAXY S4 zoom, Samsung has embarked on yet another ground-breaking journey that enhances the lives of our consumers,” said Kwon Jae Hoon, Managing Director, Samsung Malaysia Electronics. “The need to capture and share moments in the highest quality possible is a growing one as communication becomes increasingly visual in nature. For people who do not have the space to carry a dedicated camera around, the GALAXY S4 zoom will be a welcomed companion in their lives. Combining the industry leading functionality and connectivity of the GALAXY S4 with high quality photographic experience you’d expect from a compact camera, the GALAXY S4 zoom provides the best of both worlds.”

Revolutionary new interface
The revolutionary new Zoom Ring is a simple and intuitive way to access the GALAXY S4 zoom’s key features. When users are in the middle of a phone call and have something to share, a quick twist of the Zoom Ring will activate the In-Call Photo Share feature, letting them capture and send an image directly via MMS to the person on the other end of the line.

For easy camera navigation, the Zoom Ring can be used to activate the Quick Launch and Shortcut features, giving users instant access to multiple camera modes including Auto, Gallery and Smart Mode with a simple twist.

The Zoom Ring also revolutionises conventional camera zoom controls. Optical zoom control replaces traditional dials and buttons with smooth, easy-to-operate digital controls. Professional-quality accuracy and unprecedented ease of use are just a twist away, making it easy to compose a scene and capture wide-angle shots or tight close-ups.

Capture the best images
When it comes to high quality photography, bigger isn’t always better. The compact GALAXY S4 zoom’s best-in-class 10x Optical Zoom and 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor captures beautiful images from far away or up close and personal, in all light conditions, without the need for heavy camera gear. Furthermore, the built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) helps keep the camera perfectly still, reducing blur and stabilising the image while zoomed in for high-quality photos and video.

Photo Suggest instantly connects users to huge libraries of images taken by fellow photographers, to help locate and compose the best shots anywhere in the world. Photo Suggest can even direct users to the ideal nearby location which will give the vantage point required for that perfect photo.

The GALAXY S4 zoom also features Samsung’s popular Smart Mode, so users can stop worrying about settings and start taking professional-quality artistic shots. Users can simply choose from a series of pre-set modes and the camera will automatically adjust to ensure the best photo is captured. Drama Shot, for example, merges continuous shots of moving objects into a single composed image, while Action Freeze instantly captures high-speed action. For users who are unsure on which Smart Mode to select, the Smart Mode Suggest feature can assess the scene and provide a shortlist of the best options based on surrounding factors such as light levels, focal length, or face detection, ensuring the best shot is always a tap away.

Unlimited entertainment in the palm
The GALAXY S4 zoom's heritage is evident throughout, from its sleek and stylish design to the powerful, yet intuitive user interface. Running on Android Jelly Bean 4.2, the GALAXY S4 zoom boasts many of the same features as the GALAXY S4, including Touchwiz, which allows customization of various aspects of the device including the lock screen and notification bar, for a truly personal mobile experience.

Story Album arranges treasured images into one timeline for users to share with friends and loved ones. Images can also be edited and prints can be ordered directly from the device through a partnership with blurb*.

Ovum comment: Nokia Lumia 1020 sets new smartphone benchmark but pricing will be key

Nokia’s latest Lumia 1020 finally marries Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 software with the 41MP over-sampling camera technology the company previously marketed in the Symbian PureView 808.

Tony Cripps, Principal device analyst at Ovum believes “The combination sets a new benchmark for high-end smartphone engineering – and a timely reminder of Nokia’s R&D capabilities – but the company must still overcome incumbent rivals, slow adoption of Windows Phone and a modest marketing budget if it is to finally help the company turn a financial corner after its recent time in the doldrums.”

Cripps continues:

 “At a time when macro-level innovation has seemed to be lacking in smartphones – due to the homogeneity of smartphone operating systems and the drive to appeal to the mass market – Nokia’s Lumia 1020 demonstrates that there is still considerable scope to drive forward the user experience in core smartphone capabilities. This is evidenced not only in the Lumia 1020’s imaging prowess but also in its audio abilities, the company’s Rich Recording technology similarly transforms the Lumia 1020’s audio recording.

“Both imaging and audio are key areas of investment for Nokia and crucial to its long-term strategy of rebuilding market differentiation. This is true not only at the high end, where the Lumia 1020 will be something of a beacon, but also further down the range as the fruits of Nokia’s labours begin to trickle down through the midrange towards the value end of the smartphone spectrum.

The previous PureView 808 gave a tantalizing view of what was possible in terms of phone imaging but felt squandered in the context of its geriatric operating system and aesthetically compromised by a cumbersome – if impressive – camera module.

“The Lumia 1020 addresses both issues. While the new camera module contributes to a device that is noticeably thicker than the existing flagship, the Lumia 925, it is small enough to avoid the chunky and top-heavy design of its PureView 808 forebear. The PureView user experience is similarly upgraded through its integration with Microsoft’s elegant Windows Phone 8 platform, which itself benefits from a flagship device featuring category-leading imaging technology.

Supermodel must show its class not become a cheap date

“Nonetheless, while the Lumia 1020 looks to be the new belle at the smartphone ball, its debut will not necessarily attract a mass of suitors. Most obviously, the device will be expensive. Pricing has yet to be revealed but engineering of the kind on offer in the Lumia 1020 does not come cheap. Aggressive operator subsidies would no doubt help in that regard, but might detract from the device’s premium engineering and user experience.

“Furthermore, Nokia, and Windows Phone more generally, still suffers from a lack of consumer awareness and marketing dollars compared with their key rivals, Apple and Samsung-plus-Android. While this situation is undoubtedly improving, these factors continue to put off many prospective consumers due a greater chance of favorite applications being unavailable.

As such, when lined up against rival devices such as Apple’s iPhone 5 and Samsung’s Galaxy S4, which now effectively sell themselves, the case for selecting the Lumia 1020 is less clear cut.

Nokia may still have work to do to convince prospective buyers to sacrifice favourite apps for superior imaging. But for those who are less concerned about specific third-party apps or in need of something different, the Lumia 1020’s pictures provide a thousand reasons to look again to Espoo.”
