OPPO A54 Entry-Level Smartphone Arrives In Malaysia; Price Starts At RM 599

OPPO Malaysia has revealed via its official Facebook page that the OPPO A54 smartphone has arrived and is now available for purchase. Equipped with a MediaTek Helio chipset, the device is the latest entry-level handset from the brand to be available locally.

The A54 features a decently sized 6.51-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a screen-to-body ratio of 82.6%. Also on the display is a tiny punch-hole cutout which houses a 16MP front-facing camera. As mentioned earlier, powering the phone is a Helio P35 chipset with a RAM capacity of 4GB and storage space of up to 128GB.

As usual for most entry-level offerings, the major highlight of the OPPO A54 is its large battery size which comes in at 5,000mAh. However, it only comes with 18W USB-C fast charging capability, unlike the brand’s mid-level and higher phones that feature OPPO’s SuperVOOC tech.

Imaging-wise, the back of the smartphone is a triple sensor camera setup which comprises of a 13MP main sensor, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera system is capable of recording videos at 1080p at 30fps.

Other than that, it runs on Android 10 via OPPO’s ColorOS 7.2 interface and features a side mounted fingerprint scanner. Surprisingly, the phone does not come with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The new OPPO A54 entry-level handset is offered in black and blue colour selections and is priced at RM599 for the 4GB + 64GB configuration, while the 4GB + 128GB option comes in at RM699. Those interested can make their purchase via OPPO Malaysia’s official website.

AirAsia Launches ASEAN Unlimited Flight Pass For RM 599; Valid Until March 2022

Last year, AirAsia has launched two unlimited flight passes which allow customers to travel multiple times to selected international and domestic destinations. Today, the low-cost carrier announced yet another unlimited travel pass although this time around, customers would also receive unlimited free delivery for airasia Food, Fresh, and Shop.

The modus operandi for AirAsia’s latest unlimited travel pass which called the ASEAN Unlimited pass is generally identical to the previous two passes. To utilize the pass, customers need to choose flights that are marked as “100% Off” when they book them through AirAsia’s website.­

However, customers need to book their flights at least two weeks before the departure date and they still need to pay governmental taxes as well as airport chargers on their own. Additionally, there are also additional charges if they want to obtain baggage, meal, and preferred seat allocations for their flights.

­While AirAsia has noted that the list may change from time to time, here are the ASEAN and domestic destinations that are applicable for the ASEAN Unlimited pass at the moment:

As for the travel period, the ASEAN Unlimited pass is valid for flights from today onwards until 26 March 2022. That being said, flights availability is also subjected to border and movement policies that are put in place by respective federal and state governments.

Similarly, the unlimited free delivery for airasia Food, Fresh, and Shop that we have mentioned earlier is also valid until 26 March 2022. Price-wise, the ASEAN Unlimited pass can be obtained through AirAsia’s website from now until this Sunday, 7 March 201 for RM 599 although BigPay cardholders can obtain it for RM 549 instead.

Before you make the jump though, we would like to remind you that interstate and international travel is still being prohibited at the moment unless you have obtained permission from the police. In addition to that, our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic is still far from over even though the government has kicked off the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme and has also eased down some of the MCO restrictions as of late.

Furthermore, AirAsia has also stated that the purchase of the ASEAN Unlimited pass is non-refundable. So, make sure that you have considered all angles and understand everything that AirAsia has laid down in the terms and conditions for the ASEAN Unlimited pass before committing to it.
