The Q60A is the cheapest QLED from Samsung’s 2021 range. It ticks the important boxes with 4K resolution and HDR support, alongside HDR10+.

Cameras

[EBAY PLUS EXCLUSIVE]

DJI Tello | AU$169 AU$119 on DJI eBay (save AU$50)

The DJI Tello – also known as the Ryze Tello – is a choice drone for beginners. It’s compact and lightweight, and our review found the flight controls to be nice and responsive. We found it lacked stability in the wind though, with even the slightest gust sweeping it away. It can take 5MP stills and 720p HD video, so while recording quality isn’t great, it should satisfy those who just want the basics. Use the code PLUSDRONE to save AU$50.

Wearables

[EBAY PLUS EXCLUSIVE]

Appliances

[EBAY PLUS EXCLUSIVE]

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer | AU$549 AU$449 on Mobileciti eBay (save AU$100)

Ecovacs Deebot N79t | AU$279 AU$199 on Ecovacs' eBay (save AU$80)

It doesn't have the navigation smarts of the newer Deebots, but it'll do just fine for those everyday jobs. And at AU$199, it's a steal! No code needed to get that discount.

Canon's EOS R3 mirrorless camera could arrive sooner than expected

It was only a month back that Canon announced that the EOS R3 was in development and it seems like the camera could launch soon.

Camera retailers around the world have started listing the upcoming pro-level full-frame mirrorless camera on their websites – including B&H Photo in the US and Georges Cameras in Australia.

While none of them actually mention a price on their sites, a Google Search shows a price tag of $6,000 listed under US retailer Adorama.

Canon EOS R3 listing

These placeholder listings may indicate that the Canon EOS R3 could be launching soon. We were expecting it to arrive in time for the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo that's scheduled to start on Friday, July 23 (provided all goes well on the pandemic front), but we may not need to wait until next month for the official launch announcement.

We've already had product images leak on Twitter thanks to prolific and oft-reliable camera leaker Nokishita, as well as plenty of whispers on the wind on how much the body will cost.

See more

Reports have suggested that Canon plans to undercut the competition and price the EOS R3 lower than what the EOS 1-D X Mark III and the Sony Alpha A1 costs right now – at launch, rumors suggest the EOS R3 will carry a price tag of $5,999 (about £4,215 / AU$7,725). This is seemingly confirmed by the $6,000 price that's displayed on Google Search results as seen on the screenshot above.

To put that price into perspective, the 1-D X Mark III had a launch price of $6,499 / £6,499 / AU$9,999 in 2020, while the Sony A1 arrived earlier in 2021 for $6,500 / £6,499 / AU$10,499 body only.

That, as Canon explained, would put the EOS R3 between the Canon EOS R5 (priced at $3,899 / £4,199 / AU$6,899) and the 1-D X Mark III – not the 'flagship' we thought it was supposed to be.

Analysis: high-end specs for a better price

Given what we already know about the EOS R3's specs and features, it's definitely shaping up to be a pro sports shooter. But if the EOS R3 is coming in cheaper than the Sony A1, could it be missing out on some features that the Sony boasts of? It could come in the form of lower sensor resolution, which would make sense if Canon is prioritizing speed (it's rumored to be able to shoot bursts of 30fps like the A1).

Looking at the leaked images, especially the one of the rear control layout, it seems the R3 is identical to the 1-D X Mark III – the new Smart Controller included. That indicates the camera is designed for the pros, and coming in cheaper than the 1-D X Mark III will allow budding professionals to reach for the Canon R system, especially now that there are some excellent telephoto optics in the RF arsenal. 

Sadly that also indicates that Canon is likely not going to be looking at making any more pro DSLRs and is hoping the existing 1-series users will switch to its mirrorless system.

Another factor that could help Canon price the R3 lower is weather sealing. While it will have some degree of weather sealing, the memory card slot lacks the twisting lock that's available in the 1-series DSLRs. It also lacks the smaller LCD display that shows the shooting settings on the 1-D X.

A closer look at the rear of the R3 also indicates that it's coming with a fully articulating display, which has never been used in the DSLR version. This provides versatility to different types of photographers, which means Canon is not just targeting news and sports photographers, but potentially making this type of camera more mainstream.

All this is still conjecture though. We still have no idea when Canon will officially launch the EOS R3 and what the final feature list will look like. But a camera priced competitively and coming with some high-end specs is definitely looking like a good tactic from Canon.

AMD Radeon RX 6000 mobile GPUs are here to take on Nvidia

AMD has unveiled laptop versions of its Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards, which aim to take on Nvidia’s mobile RTX 30-series GPUs.

The lineup is headed by the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, which sees AMD making a long-awaited return to high-end mobile gaming. The graphics card is based on a Navi 22 GPU with 40 CUs - putting it on par with the full-fat AMD Radeon RX 6800.

AMD claims the mobile GPU, which also features 12GB GDDR6 memory and a 145W TGP, will render on average 120 frames per second, and is promising major performance gains over a 2019 gaming laptop packing an Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics card. The Radeon RX 6800M will deliver a 1.7x improvement in Resident Evil: Village, according to AMD, and a 1.4x boost in Cyberpunk 2077

More interestingly, AMD is also claiming its high-end mobile GPU will outperform the Nvidia RTX 3070 and, in some cases, the Nvidia RTX 3080. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M averaged 141 fps in Resident Evil Village compared to 132 and 137 fps, respectively, and managed to beat out both of Nvidia’s mobile GPUs in Borderlands 3 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. 

AMD is claiming even more impressive gains when it comes to gaming on battery, suggesting the AMD Radeon 6800M will offer 1.4x the performance of the RTX 3080 in both Resident Evil: Village and Dirt 5.

AMD has also unveiled two lesser-powered mobile GPUs - the AMD Radeon RX 6700M and Radeon RX 6800M. The former, which packs 36CUs, 10GB GDDR6 memory and a TGP of up to 135W, promises up to 100fps gaming at 1440p, while the latter features takes aim at the Nvidia’s mobile RTX 3060 with its 26CUs, 8GB memory and TGP of up to 100W.

According to AMD, the Radeon RX 6800M will deliver impressive gains over the Nvidia RTX 3060 in a number of 1080p games including Borderlands 3 and Dirt 5. However, according to AMD’s own benchmarks, it failed to match the Ampere GPU in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War or Cyberpunk 2077. 

AMD says its new GPUs, which it’s touting as the fastest “AMD Radeon Graphics for laptops” are available starting now - the Radeon RX 6800M and RX 6600M are shipping starting today, with the RX 6700M set to follow soon. 

The first laptops to pack AMD’s new graphics have also started shipping. The all-AMD ROG Strix G15, which pairs an AMD Radeon RX 6800M mobile GPU with a Ryzen 9 5900HX processor, is available today.

AMD finally takes on DLSS with FidelityFX Super Resolution

After around a year of teasing that it's coming, AMD has finally confirmed that its FidelityFX Super Resolution tech is coming on June 22. 

AMD made the announcement as part of its Computex 2021 keynote, and it looks to deliver a similar performance boost to Nvidia's DLSS (deep learning super sampling) technology. However, unlike Nvidia's upscaling tech, FidelityFX Super Resolution will work on any recent graphics card, as AMD has demonstrated the tech working on an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 in GodFall. 

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, based on Team Red's own claims, should provide a up to a whopping 2x performance jump on AMD graphics cards using the Quality mode of Super Resolution, and up to a 2x performance boost in its Performance mode. These numbers come from GodFall at 4K with ray tracing on an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, so it's not clear if these numbers will change at all on other graphics cards. 

AMD does share some brief information about the technology working with its competitor's graphics cards, but not the same breakdown we see for the 6800 XT. Also in Godfall, but at 1440p, AMD claims that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 can go from 27 fps to 38 fps at 1440p, using the Epic Preset and FidelityFX Super Resolution with its Quality mode. That's not the same 2x performance jump that AMD's own card boasts, but that's still a 41% performance jump. 

We'll have to see for ourselves how this technology fares once we can get our hands on it for some more in-depth testing on June 22. But for right now, just based on AMD's own claims, this technology is looking extremely promising.

Will Apple, Samsung production targets be hit this year?

Last month saw Covid-19 cases zoom in India, and because of which production of smartphones at Apple assemblers like Foxconn and Samsung's own unit in Uttar Pradesh were hit.

And just as these companies were scurrying to make alternate arrangements to keep up with their shipment targets, which included ramping up their output in Vietnam --- their main production base now --- things have taken another turn for worse. Or so it seems.

Now, there is an uptick in the number of Covid-19 cases in Vietnam, and the local government is issuing tough guidelines on commuting in places like Bac Ninh Province, which as it happens houses Samsung factories. It must be noted here that Samsung units are also suppliers for Apple.

Many factories have split its workforce over two shifts or operating  below capacity to allow for easier social distancing and employee management.

Tech supply chain units face uncertainty

But as lockdown measures are set to kick in, supply chain industries of tech industries in Vietnam fear missing production targets. This development, of course, puts huge pressure on Apple and Samsung, and raises questions whether they can meet their shipment numbers this year.

If Samsung and Apple are unable to stick to their targets, it can have a cascading effect on the entire industry, analysts say.

Foxconn, Luxshare, which are well known names as assemblers, also have units in Vietnam. And aside from Samsung and Apple, Chinese smartphone companies like Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei and Oppo also source electronic parts from factories here.

The Vietnamese government, understanding the importance of keeping running these factories, has suggested to the companies to try and provide ad hoc accommodation to their workers at their site or nearby location. The on-site sleeping arrangements for workers can help operations to continue while containing the virus.

But these companies are finding it tough to find such locations or make such arrangements in the numbers as needed. "It is not easy to immediately secure temporary shelters for tens of thousands of people, including local partners, so there are concerns that operations and supply may be disrupted," the local media reported.

LG also faces the heat

It is not just Apple or Samsung. LG, which is operating production lines for home appliances, mobile devices, and auto parts in Hai Phong, is also finding the going tough.

Although the situation is not as urgent as in Bac Ninh Province, things are not all that hunky-dory at Ho Chi Minh city, too. It is here where Samsung produces TVs and home appliances. The company is closely monitoring the provincial government's guidelines while operating its factories normally.

Samsung and suppliers to Apple have also been asked by the Vietnam government to secure Covid-19 vaccines for their workers at the factories.

But if the situation persists, Vietnam could lose the manufacturing gains it has made amid the US-China trade war.

PS Plus for AU$60: save 25% on a yearly PlayStation subscription while stocks last

Amazon AU's Mid-Year Sale is officially under way, once again offering a huge number of products at significantly reduced prices.

PS5 consoles may still be hard to come by, but if you're one of the lucky few who already have one, or even if you own a PS4 console, you will surely be interested in this particular discount: Amazon AU is currently offering a 12 month PlayStation Plus subscription for AU$59.95 – that's a saving of AU$20 from the usual AU$79.95 price.

Traditionally, PS Plus subscriptions are only discounted a couple of times per year, usually in relation to Sony's Days of Play promotion. 

Having said that, PS Plus subscriptions are currently being offered at full price on the PlayStation Store, so if you're looking to save money right now, you can get a redeemable code sent out in the mail for 25% off the usual price by clicking on the deal below.

12 month PS Plus subscription for PS4 and PS5 | AU$59.95 (usually AU$79.95)
Get AU$20 off an annual PS Plus subscription with this deal from Amazon AU. Along with online multiplayer access across PS4 and PS5, you also get three free games a month for the remainder of your subscription. This month's free games include Star Wars Squadrons, Operation: Tango and Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown.

A subscription to PS Plus not only brings you online play – you also get a selection of free games every month. June 2021's PS Plus offerings include Star Wars Squadrons and Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown for PS4, and the espionage-themed adventure game Operation: Tango for PS5.

You better hurry, though – this offer is only available while stocks last, and we imagine there will be plenty of Aussies taking up this offer. 

Already have a PS Plus subscription? No worries: redeeming this code will simply add on an additional 12 months to your remaining time.
