POCO C40

POCO is launching two new smartphones in Singapore: The budget-friendly POCO C40 and the 5G-ready POCO M4 5G.

The two new devices will be available exclusively on Shopee starting on August 18 as part of POCO’s Super Brand Day sale campaign.

On that day, POCO’s range of smartphones including the F4 GT, F4, and X4 GT will also be sold for discounted prices.

POCO C40: Excellent entry-level phone

The POCO C40 is priced at just SG$ 169 for the 3GB+32GB and SG$ 199 for the 4GB+64GB. Both offer reliable specs and features for its segment.

It is powered by an octa-core JR510 processor with speeds up to 2.0GHz. It has a 6.71-inch LCD dot drop display, the largest yet for any POCO phone, and it scratch-resistant with Corning Gorilla glass.

The phone also has a 13MP main camera boasting its dual camera setup in the rear, complemented by a 5MP front camera. The C40 has a massive 6,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

POCO M4 5G: Ultimate entertainment experience

On the other hand, the POCO M4 5G offers consumers a powerful smartphone designed for gaming and entertainment.

It features a Dimensity 700 processor, a 6.58-inch IPS LCD screen with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz. It also has support for DynamicSwitch display which allows switching from 30Hz up to 90Hz depending on the user’s activity.

The phone also has a 5,000mAh battery and like the C40, it has 18W fast charging.

The only downside perhaps is that it only sports a 13MP main camera, along with a 5MP selfie camera although they do come with AI photography and videography capabilities.

It will be available in two variants: 4GB+64GB, which will sell for SG$ 249 and 6GB+128GB, which will retail for SG$ 309.

Super Brand Day sale

On August 18, POCO will also allow customers to grab any of their participating smartphones for discounted prices of up to SG$ 300 off throughout the day:

  • POCO F4 GT (8GB+256GB): SG$ 599 (from 899)
  • POCO F4 GT (12GB+256GB): SG$ 749 (from 999)

Nissan launches Note e-Power in Singapore

Start your journey on the right note

Nissan Note E Power

In 2020, Nissan unveiled the Kicks e-Power, which the car manufacturer touted as not just one’s conventional hybrid vehicle. Four years after, Nissan is back with a new fully electric motor-driven offering released in Singapore: the Nissan Note e-Power.

The successor to Kicks e-Power, the Note e-Power also harnesses Nissan’s second generation e-Power technology. The electrified hatchback uses fuel to power its electric motor. This motor then drives the car for a smoother, quieter, and more efficient run each time, minus the need for charging.

Price, availability

The Note e-Power dons a simplistic Japanese hatchback look with a more curved roof compared to typical SUV designs. This is accentuated by a signature V grille and slim-line headlights.

The car is available in Vivid Blue/Black Star (two-tone), Opera Mauve/Black Star (two-tone), Brilliant Silver, Dark Metal Grey, and Burgundy Red. It is available for booking starting at SG$ 143,800 until 12 noon of April 3.

Customers shall also get a 10-year lithium-ion battery warranty and five-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty.

Enhanced safety features

The Note e-Power comes packed with enhanced safety features. For the first time on a Nissan vehicle, a 1,470 MPa ultra-high tensile steel has been adopted in the vehicle chassis. This contributes to weight reduction and improved passive safety performance.

To aid drivers throughout their rides, the car also comes with intelligent systems, such as:

  • Intelligent Emergency Braking
  • Intelligent Lane Intervention
  • Intelligent Rearview Mirror
  • Intelligent Trace Control
  • Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
  • Intelligent Driver Alertness
  • High Beam Assist
  • Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold

When parking, the system on dashboard shows the vehicle’s distance to an obstacle by green, yellow, and red indicators. Should they forget locking and unlocking, the car also automatically locks when the driver walks away, and unlocks when the driver approaches.

Futuristic interior

Inside, the Note e-Power has a Mizuhiki-themed dashboard for a modern and elegant appearance. On the driver side, there is a seven-inch display interface, an LCD monitor, and a USB Type C port. There is also a two-tier glovebox on the passenger side for ample storage.

In the middle, the gearshift sports a futuristic design that looks more like a mix of a jet plane’s center stick and a computer’s mouse, rather than a traditional knob. Furthermore, there is enough space to place a phone or wallet beside the gearshift.

The seats offer large armrests and plenty of leg room. At the back, the car has a spacious boot that can be expanded up to 670 liters when the rear seats are folded down.
