What Does Your Favourite #Coffee Say About Your Personality? @Nespresso #SouthAfrica

Hi Friends, 

Research has shown that drinking coffee is good for your health. Not only does a couple of cups a day reduce your risk of a heart attack, but even the aroma of a coffee can also make you feel less stressed. But, did you know that the type of coffee you drink can reveal a lot about your personality? A recent study conducted by California State University on 1,000 coffee enthusiasts assessed what types of coffee people typically drank and associated those habits with numerous psychological traits and personality profiles. So, what does the way you take your coffee say about you?

Black Coffee

Black coffee fans are simple, straightforward purists with a clear sense of what they want. People who opt for an Americano tended to be more pragmatic, patient and minimalistic. Of all the participants in the study, black coffee drinkers are more likely to be introverted. They are calm and conscientious but may be prone to moodiness. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Lungo

Espresso

Espresso drinkers are characterised as bold, intense and well-travelled. The character of these coffee lovers tended to mimic the properties of the espresso - strong and complex, ostentatious and assertive. Espresso drinkers are self-assured, hard-working and tend to challenge leadership. They are also more likely to have a fondness for travel. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Espresso

Cappuccinos and Lattes

The key characteristics of these caffeine aficionados are trendsetting, adventurous, perfectionistic and sensitive. If you have a taste for sweet, frothy coffee varieties, you are more than likely to be extroverted. These creative, honest and motivated people will try anything once and are excellent friends but can be perfectionistic and lose interest quickly. Your signature Nespresso range: ​Ristretto

Flavoured Coffees

People with a penchant for flavoured coffees have been shown to be creative, imaginative, impulsive and prone to stress. They are daydreamers, artists and inventors. Like most creatives, this group tends to be whimsical and impulsive. Sensitive in nature, these coffee drinkers are people-pleasers and can be indecisive. Your signature Nespresso range: ​Variations

Decaf

Key characteristics of decaf coffee drinkers are cautious, observant and pedantic. Why opt for a decaf? Aside from sensitivities to caffeine, this group reported that they enjoy the taste of coffee but not the effect. This indicates that a decaf drinker tends to seek control - both over themselves and others. These keen observers are confident and know what they want. While composed, decaf drinkers are likely to obsess over the finer details and are prone to worry. Your signature Nespresso range:​ Decaffeinato

Whatever your personality or preference, Nespresso has the perfect coffee to match your taste. Capsules can be purchased from all Nespresso ​boutiques and booths nationwide, or online at www.za.buynespresso.com and through the Nespresso Club​ on 0800 637773.

#GalaxyTabS7FE Packs All the Fan-Favorite Features for Productivity, Creativity, and Entertainment @SamsungMobileSA

Hi Friends, 

Designed with stunning features that meet the daily needs of consumers, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is one that Galaxy fans won’t want to miss. Equipped with the fan-favourite features of the Galaxy Tab S7/S7+ — including an immersive 12.4-inch1 display and in-box S Pen that is perfect for entertainment, creative work and multitasking — the Galaxy Tab S7 FE gives customers everything they love at an affordable price.

Check out the infographic below to get a closer look at what the new Galaxy Tab S7 FE has to offer.

1 Measured diagonally as a full rectangle without accounting for the rounded corners. The actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners.

I have not used any of the Samsung Tablets and the only one I reviewed is Samsung Tab4 in June 2015. The tablets were losing their momentum as the world was moving towards big-screen smartphones and the iPad continued to prosper. Microsoft also saw some great potential when they launched Surface tablets and suddenly the market revived when keyboard and Smartpen kind of accessories brought a notion to many things. The ease of writing during meetings and other features on the pen really brought about a change and revival in the tablets industry but I feel this has a long way to go. I first bought Google Nexus One tablet which is now no longer switched-ON also way back in 2012 though the body and casing are perfect to date.

@HuaweiZA Launches the All-new Nova Series in #SouthAfrica #NovaIsHere #HuaweiNova8 #HUAWEInovaIsHere

Hi Friends, 

Introducing the HUAWEI nova 8 and HUAWEI nova Y60, the ultimate entertainment smartphones for Gen-Z on the market right now

Huawei’s newest nova series, which was launched at The Galleria in Sandton today, raises the smartphone experience with a bold design, advanced camera capabilities and productivity-boosting features. The Huawei nova series specifically targets the African youth by bringing them not one but two spectacular devices that are price conscious, stylish and socially on-par with what is out there right now. These two devices are the HUAWEI nova 8 and HUAWEI nova Y60.

“Gen-Z pride themselves on being the most digitally connected generation that keeps getting better and better. They prefer bite-sized video content and are not about to start compromising now; that’s why Huawei has tailored two smartphones just for them that meet their needs,” says Justin Sun, General Manager of Huawei Consumer Business Group South Africa.

Huawei also announced its collaboration with sneaker brand Bathu and another exciting Huawei Joburg Day with 947 collabs, for their event in October. “African youth are all about fashion and music, so these two collaborations are important for the nova series; we are very excited about the future,” explains Sun. “Bathu is uniquely African, and speaks to Gen Zers who value fashion and style, while Huawei Joburg Day with 947 has been entertaining this country’s youth with the best local musical talent for many years now.”

“Bathu is synonymous with the colourful South African spirit and has evolved beyond our imagined vision: cutting across ages, professions and places to resonate with any and everyone who appreciates innovation. We are thrilled to collaborate with the formidable Huawei nova 8 and Huawei nova Y60 series that heed the call to giving our consumers the ultimate style experience, in order to expand our reach as a brand,” says Theo Baloyi, the Founder and CEO of Bathu Sneakers.

"947 is home to the best music, top artists and the biggest personalities. For the second time this year, Huawei Joburg Day returns. It's just fitting that HUAWEI nova inspires the October edition of Huawei Joburg Day as the event becomes more engrained in youth and lifestyle culture through a fusion of fashion, design and music. This edition of Huawei Joburg Day forms part of 947’s popular Big September campaign, so listen to 947 over the next couple of weeks as we announce the exciting new artist line-up and big giveaways inspired by HUAWEI nova," says Thando Makhunga, 947 Station Manager.

Introducing the HUAWEI nova 8

The HUAWEI nova 8 comes in a spectacular Blush Gold colour. It features a thin and light body that weighs only 169 g. From the back, the universe-inspired Nebular Camera System sits elegantly on the exquisite glass panel, giving the device a unique and highly recognisable look.

The display on the HUAWEI nova 8 can render up to 1.07 billion colours, which allows the display to show smoother gradients and more realistic content in vivid colours. So, if you’re going to be spending hours on end watching Youtube videos, streaming video content or playing games, you’re guaranteed the best time because the quality will enhance your viewing pleasure even more.

Capture all the best angles

The HUAWEI nova 8 is equipped with a 64MP high-resolution rear camera that lets you take vividly sharp photos. Using incredible 4-in-1 light fusion technology, it can capture more detail in crystal-clear quality whether during the day or at night. When taking photos at night, HUAWEI nova 8 Super Night Mode makes sure that you still capture your best angles ever. It makes your photos sharp, bright, and ready to share thanks to AI technology and the 120° Ultra-Wide Angle Camera. The Main Camera and Ultra-Wide Angle Camera on the back of the HUAWEI nova 8 work together to enable Dual-View Video. And, if you love selfies, the 32MP front camera snaps hi-res selfies which will make you the talk of the town among your social circles, because who doesn’t love a good selfie?

Supercharge battery

The 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge support saves users the trouble of charging the device frequently, especially during games and movies. It can be charged to 60% in just 15 minutes and 100% in 35 minutes. In the time it takes to have a quick shower and breakfast, users can have the phone fully charged and ready to go.

And here is the HUAWEI nova Y60

Super smart cameras

If you are passionate about taking stunning pictures and sharing them on social media, then the HUAWEI nova Y60 will impress you. The HUAWEI nova Y60 comes with a solid AI Triple Camera, allowing users to capture clearer photos of everyday moments with ease. The 13MP Main Camera has an f/1.8 large aperture.

Even at night or in low-light conditions, the built-in noise reduction processes make photos look bright and clear. The 120° Ultra-Wide Angle Camera allows users to include more people in a group photo, while the Depth Camera creates a blurred background effect to make the subject stand out. The 8MP front camera and built-in AI Beauty algorithm offer customised beautifying effects, making the HUAWEI nova Y60 a great selfie phone. With a 6.6" HUAWEI FullView Display, the new nova series gives users an immersive multimedia experience. Covered with a simple yet trendy hood, the HUAWEI nova Y60 is available in two classic colourways – Crush Green and Midnight Black.

More social media time thanks to longer battery life

Equipped with a 5000mAh large battery and Huawei’s power-saving AI Algorithms, the HUAWEI nova Y60 lets users explore as much of what they love on their phone throughout the day. Coupled with Ultra Power Saving Mode, the smartphone can last longer even when the battery level is low, which is a welcome relief, especially if you’re on the go and rely heavily on your device.

The HUAWEI nova Series is designed to let the Gen-Zer enjoy the user-friendly experience and services of Huawei products at a more affordable price with the HUAWEI nova Y60 for R3099. And, if you’re into being the plug among your friends for all things cool and exclusive, then the HUAWEI nova 8 is the right device for you at R12 999

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - Beans At It's Musically Best #ProductReview @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyBudsLive

Hi Friends, 

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live has a unique shape and since the launch event on 5-Aug-2020 I wanted to have them in my kitty and it came true on Christmas 2020 when Samsung South Africa sent me an annual gift for the first time for all the support I did for the brand on my blog posts. I was really happy to receive the same in Mystic Bronze colour and grateful to Samsung for fulfilling my untold wish. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live design amazed the world with its unique iconic design and immediately after the launch event, people started mapping it to various shapes especially kidney beans. When the whole world is travelling the stem earphones route, Samsung broke the barriers for a new shape never seen before. I really love the comfort and fit Buds Live brings to my ears with its ergonomic design. The next thing is the bling that Mystic Bronze colour brings and the people immediately recognizes that these are Samsung Galaxy Buds Live. With a glossy finish on one end, the earbuds are packaged in a jewellery-box styled square charging case with 50mm length and breadth and the height of the box is around 28mm which is really great to open and close. The magnets are strong and keep the earbuds secure even if you try to shake the open case. It also comes in Mystic White and Mystic Black colour which I have not seen much because everyone wants this Mystic Bronze I think. Also, there are no buttons anywhere on the case and earbuds are touch-sensitive so everything is controlled via the Galaxy Wearables app or the touch. More about the app in the review later on. 

Instead of having silicone earbuds, Galaxy Buds Live has wingtips sizes (1 extra in the pack along with a USB type C charging cable) coming in the package that also secures in your ears. I never faced a problem of them falling even if I am running but may happen if you touching them, again and again, to increase/decrease the volume or to change songs etc. If you are touching them with force, also you need to adjust them so that they don't fall. The earbuds only weigh 5.6 grams and the charging case is 42.2 grams. The battery capacity of each earbud is 60mAh and the case has 472mAh of reserved power which charges the buds around 3.5 times fully. The Galaxy Buds Live are fast charging enabled where 5 minutes of charging can provide for 60 minutes of playback. As per Samsung, each earbud can last for 6 hours of continuous playback of music with ANC off and the charging case will provide for 15 hours totalling 21 hours in a single charge. The case has wireless charging where you can charge the earbuds using the Galaxy smartphone with wireless reverse charging. 

Each earbud has 12mm speakers with sound by AKG not forgetting that part to bring you a whole range of frequencies to cover low to high clear notes. The earbuds also have a bass duct to get that dhinchak effect in your ears. Air vents provide the necessary space to reduce blockage and putting unnecessary pressure on your ears. The earbuds also have 3 built-in mics - the glossy end has 2 and one on the rear side touching your ears along with a voice pickup unit. This setup takes the vibrations from your jaws to enhance the sound quality when you are on call etc. The touch on the earbuds is really responsive and can work even if you are wearing a buff as in South Africa, many people use Buff as their face mask. I use a buff to keep my neck covered during winters and sometimes takes it up to cover my ears too. Overall, Galaxy Buds Live has around 7 sensors which include an accelerometer, IR, hall, touch, grip, gyro and voice pickup unit. A single tap play and pause track, double-tap can play next track or can be used to answer or end the call, triple tap play previous track whereas touch and hold can be customized to users choice (ANC, Bixby, Volume up/down, Spotify) or to decline the call. 

Samsung Galaxy Buds Live also comes with ANC i.e. Active Noise Cancellation in an open type earbuds design. ANC provides some kind of isolation to your ears but you have to wear both earbuds to enable the ANC feature. There is a sound made every time you switch ON or OFF the ANC. Also, it only provides the basic ANC and is not as strong as you might expect from the in-ear earbuds because they already isolate a lot of noise using the earbuds stem going into the ears canals. In Galaxy BudsLive the ANC switches off very little noise from the surroundings but depending on where you are using them, it will provide some form of noise cancellation and will have ambient noise coming to you too. There is no way in the app to control the level of ANC as seen in the newer versions of Galaxy Buds. 

All wireless earbuds need seamless connections between all the devices you use your earbuds on and Buds Live has Bluetooth v5.0 supporting A2DP, AVRCP, HFP and I didn't face any problem in connecting them to my laptop, Galaxy smartphone as well as the other branded smartphones. The earbuds are compatible with Android v5.0 onwards and iOS 10 upwards.  

Let's talk about all the features available in the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app from where you can control these kidney beans shaped earbuds. Touch controls can be set to 4 options - ANC, Bixby, Volume Up/Down, Spotify. You can also block the touch completely in case you want to and in that case all controls need to be done via the paired device. The equalizers that are present in settings are 6 - Normal, Bass Boost, Soft, Dynamic, Clear and Treble Boost. Find my earbuds is another feature that helps you find them as earbuds start making chirpy sounds if one or both are lost somewhere under your sofa and are still able to get connected to the main device. Labs provide the gaming mode which really minimises the audio delay for a great gaming sound experience. It also has an option to relieve the pressure with ambient sound to ease the feeling of compression when wearing the earbuds without the ANC feature ON. 

In the end, I started using them as soon I received them and totally fell in love with the design and quality of the earbuds. I totally loved the features as BudsLive was the first one of the whole series that I received as I had never used the Buds or Buds+ earlier in my life. Buds and Buds+ are still something I have never used but I have used the Samsung uFlex headsets (over the neck). I found the dynamic equalizer for my taste to listen to all the Bollywood music and other audiobooks and even during watching web series etc on Galaxy Buds Live. Though it didn't have the ambient noise feature of the previous generation but due to its comfortable size and fit, you will be able to listen to the other person voice with some kind of concentration and music being stopped. I have used them continuously while trying to complete all the episodes of various web series in a single go and easily lasted me for around 5 hours of non-stop audio. The case keeps providing power to make earbuds reach 100% while its battery decreases over time but I found that I didn't need to charge them for around a week based on all my listenings. 

I have stopped using the earbuds as much because I didn't walk for many months in the evenings due to being Corona Postive and weakness thereafter but I used them to connect to my laptop to attend office teams calls and other WhatsApp calls. Also, I never took them to the road when I used to go for long walks as anyone can easily recognize them and may try to snatch and grab so I never took that risk. I found that my voice goes clearly to the person I am talking to and these are really great for your day to day use. Overall, I am very happy with the performance of Galaxy BudsLive and this will remain in my Tech Museum for their unique design and for being the first of the Galaxy Buds series which I used in my life. I have always longed for Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Icon and many other released before these but finally, my draught was fulfilled by Samsung for the Farewell 2020 gifts. Thanks to Samsung South Africa for this lovely gift in Mystic Bronze colour. If you have any queries on these earbuds, please do connect with me on Youtube comments or you can comment here too.

@Brand_SA @PlayYourPartSA Awards are Now Open for Entries under the #WomenEmpowerment Category

Hi Friends, 

Throughout the decade, Brand South Africa has effectively demonstrated its commitment to promoting gender equality, women’s empowerment, and women’s rights. The Play Your Part programme encourages South Africans to use their resources (skills, money, or goods) to create a better future for all.

The role played by women has been essential to this mission, and their recognition at Brand South Africa Play Your Part Awards 2021 was inevitable. The Play Your Part Women Empowerment Award aims to promote women's sense of worth, their ability to make their own choices, and their ability to influence social change. The goal is to reward individuals and organisations who are making significant strides in elevating women's socio-economic status and creating environments that encourage women to reach their full potential.

“Women's capacity to contribute to the betterment of society must be highlighted. With this category, Brand South Africa celebrates women change-makers and welcomes women’s positive contribution towards gender equality and women empowerment,” says Mpumi Mabuza, Acting CMO at Brand South Africa, in honour of Women's Month, which celebrates the achievements of the 20000 women who marched to the Union Building in 1956, the Play Your Part Awards are now accepting nominations in the Women's Development Category.Zo

Participants must demonstrate how they are working to change some of the structural causes of gender inequalities, gender-based violence, discrimination, and unequal development progress for women and girls in their communities.

The Play Your Part programme is a Brand South Africa initiative that promotes pride, patriotism, and active citizenship in the context of its mandate to inspire a sense of national identity and citizenship. It works to lift the spirit of the nation by inspiring all South Africans to take action, be involved, and do something positive.

For more information on how to enter or nominate an individual or organisation that has made measurable progress toward advancing women's rights through active citizenship, please visit www.brandsouthafrica.com today.

Women are taking the lead in fields historically dominated by men. Women's contributions to the economy and community development have contributed to positive social change.

We believe that the empowerment of women can only occur through the constant promotion of movements that foster protection, support, and upliftment for those who are affected by gender-based injustice and prejudice.

By combining the Samsung fan-favorite S Pen with an expansive display and the functionalities enabled by Flex mode, Z Fold3 delivers new ways for users to power their productivity and creativity.

Built with Armor Aluminum and equipped with IPX81 water resistance, Z Fold3 brings together the very best of Samsung’s innovations to deliver a mobile experience unlike any other. Check out the infographic below to learn more.

This is the smartphone I really want to own, need desire or whatever adjective you want to put for being greedy, drooling or fallen in love. This is so so far from my hands as I never tried them earlier and now with the Samsung Note series gone into history, this has become the new NOTE along with FOLD. S Pen is now much more advanced equivalent to or maybe better than the Apple Pencil which also I have not used ever. I have been a fan of the Samsung Note series and bought Samsung Note 8 on the birth of my son in January 2018 and it's time now that I get upgraded to this one. Let's see what the future of 2021 holds for me.

Cheers!!!

#TheIceRoad This Mission Is On Thin Ice #Hollywood #Movies @Sterkinekor On 27-Aug-21 @EmpireEntAfrica

Hi Friends, 

WRITER/DIRECTOR: 

Jonathan Hensleigh (writer of Armageddon, Jumanji (1995), The Rock, Con Air, Die Hard With a Vengeance)

CAST:

• LIAM NEESON as Mike
• LAURENCE J. FISHBURNE III as Goldenrod
• MARCUS THOMAS as Gurty
• AMBER MIDTHUNDER as Tantoo
• BENJAMIN WALKER as Varnay

TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfaTDFtAABE

SYNOPSIS:

After a remote diamond mine collapses in far northern Canada, a ‘big-rig’ ice road driver (Neeson) must lead an impossible rescue mission over a frozen ocean to save the trapped miners. Contending with thawing waters and a massive storm, they discover the real threat is one they never saw coming.

Fun Facts:

• The premise of the film is based on series like “Ice Road Truckers” and “Outback Truckers” which were hugely popular. The concept of riding a big rig truck over a frozen body of water with tons of merchandise in the back is enough to make most of us lose our courage – but not these drivers!
• The Ice Road is set in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The road itself is around 250 miles long and is primarily built over frozen lakes. The road is officially known as the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road.
• The movie is based on one road, although the story is purely fictional. If you want to read a book about the real ice road, check out Denison’s Ice Road, Edith Iglauer’s non-fiction recount of traversing the road itself.
• Liam Neeson is as bankable as taxes and death. His action films always do well and he has appeal with both men and women as the hero.
• Liam’s character’s brother, Gurty, is a veteran who served in Iraq. He received a bullet in his head from a sniper, and the surgeons didn't take the bullet out, they thought it would have been too dangerous. As a result, he's got a condition called aphasia. Words come out in the wrong order and he doesn’t always make sense but he’s a brilliant mechanic.
• The big rigs are stars all on their own. Liam went out with a rig driver and was impressed by how much finesse it takes to drive a truck. And the back of the cabs where they sleep is so big that at 6”4, Liam could stand upright As he put it “I have been in smaller New York apartments.”
• Mining is big business in our country and to see the corners that are cut at the management level is a reminder that people’s welfare should always come first – not the profit.

There are 3 pairs of double tickets for the giveaway for the readers of the blog or followers of social media platforms at any Ster-Kinekor theatres in 2D. If you want to win the same, Comment on my Youtube Channel on any of your favourite videos about Which Liam Neeson movie you like the most and what motivates you to go to theatres again?

@HuaweiZA #HuaweiNova 8 and #HUAWEINovaY60 Coming Soon #NovaIsYou

Hi Friends, 

Attention Gen-Zers, two super smartphones are heading your way soon and you don’t want to miss out.

As a generation growing up in a world fully immersed in digital, Gen-Zers need smartphones that will give them access to the internet, music and video. Other important considerations are the ability to stay connected to friends and keep up with their favourite celebrities, as well as the latest trends through social media. The HUAWEI nova 8 and HUAWEI nova Y60 are two of the best phones that every Gen-Zer must-have, and Huawei will be bringing them out soon!

Unleash your Supernova

Just like the supernova star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness, you too will suddenly feel the effects of owning one of the coolest devices to hit the market right now. With the HUAWEI nova 8 and HUAWEI nova Y60, once you hold one of these smartphones in your hands, you’re guaranteed to be the shining star among your friends because of the spectacular features that come with these devices.

HUAWEI nova 8

A visual engagement

The HUAWEI nova 8 comes in a stunning Blush Gold colourway. It features a curved design at both front and rear, making it smooth and sleek with a thin and light body that weighs just 169g, which is a nice size for your hand.

Snap the best quality pics

Gen-Zers just love a good pic. Whether it’s a selfie or a group pic, capturing your favourite moments is what it’s all about. The HUAWEI nova 8 32MP High-res Front Camera makes you and your friends look stunning in every selfie. The 64MP High-res Main Camera and Ultra-Wide Angle Camera will make sure that whatever pic you take, your footage will be super spectacular.

Super-fast performance

Thanks to the 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge support that comes with the HUAWEI nova 8, your smartphone can be charged to 60% in just 15 minutes and 100% in 35 minutes, which means no stress about running out of battery during movies or gaming with friends.

HUAWEI Nova Y60

Then there’s the HUAWEI nova Y60. Covered with a simple yet trendy hood, the HUAWEI nova Y60 is available in two classic colourways – Crush Green and Midnight Black. It also features a slim fingerprint unlock key at the centre of its right side, enabling smooth operation. Using the fingerprint unlock key, users can light up and unlock the display in a blink of an eye and to perform a switch off the device all you need is a long press.

Capture every angle effortlessly

The HUAWEI nova Y60 comes with a solid AI Triple Camera, allowing users to capture clearer photos of everyday moments with ease. The 13MP Main Camera has an f/1.8 large aperture – the bigger the aperture, more light your smartphone camera can gather, which is needed to capture great quality pictures.

Spend more time doing what you love thanks to long battery life

The HUAWEI nova Y60 comes with a 5000mAh large battery and Huawei’s power-saving AI Algorithms, which allows you to create more content to watch and share with your friends. Coupled with the Ultra Power Saving Mode, the HUAWEI nova Y60 can last longer even when the battery level is low, which is good if you spend a lot of time on your phone.

Huawei’s latest nova Series elevates the smartphone experience with a bold design, advanced camera capabilities and productivity-boosting features, which is just what Gen-Zers need to fully enjoy the convenience and efficiency brought by technology. More updates will be shared as the launch event is scheduled this week and I am invited to the same.
