New Year Resolutions - Week 31 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

Week 31 started from 30 July to go till 5th August 2023 and since the last few weeks, it's been hectic as there were a lot of launch events during these months. Sometimes all this travel and attending events leave you with very less energy to focus on other things so it's of extreme importance that you do exercise your body and build some strength on a daily basis. 

1. Entertainment - The week started with the Pankaj Udhas show at Emperor's Palace in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has been performing live for the last 43 years and his voice quality is not really up to the mark but it was great to see a legend live in action. 

2. Launch Events - This week all days I have attended one or the other launch events from a lot of diverse brands. I started with the Women's Conference where I could not spend much time as it was really cold out there and kids felt the same so we had to leave early to attend the Pankaj Udhas Show as well. 

I got to play Soccer with the real team players of the South African National team with some people from Huawei South Africa as well. This was for the launch of some new Huawei Wearables. I got a Watch FIT SE along with a Soccer kit. 

The next day it was a Dell Technologies dinner and it was really a great personalized event. The next few days there was the Decorex Expo which I went to twice on the weekends. Thanks to Proud SA for making me a winner of the VIP Passes and all my family and friends also saw the event due to the same. 

Skyworth also launched their 100inch TVs at a big event and I got the invite for the same as well. It was really nice and got to see some of the latest TVs from Skyworth. The only thing was the event was in Boksburg and it took a while to reach there. 

Castle Lite invited us for another dinner party in Houghton and it was really a good one too. It was the launch of some new ambassadors where they got nice jackets and some other products from the brand. I don't think we got anything at the end of the event. 

Lastly, to end the week, I attended the Sony Alpha Festival Kyodoka Event in Randburg but had to leave early as I had a dinner appointment. The lines were long to grab Sony's Cameras so I didn't wait and this time I could not lay my hands on their powerful cameras and they were given 30 minutes for each person at the show. They didn't give them earlier and only after the first speaker then initiated the process and it meant the long queues. 

3. Thank You - I started again from zero to reach the 20000 mark by the end of the week. The counter is giving me some problems I need to find an app on mobile to keep tracking the same permanently and in the best way possible. 

I didn't watch any web series or movies during this week as there were so many things going on. 

4. YouTube - I did a lot of YouTube Shorts during this week and for July 23, I got 141 subscribers that's almost double the previous month in terms of subscribers count added to the channel. I thought that someday my channel would have a snowball effect but that has not happened as yet I will continue to create videos so that it eventually happens and then I will reach that 100k mark Silver play button and thereafter 1M Golden play button from YouTube. If you don't have subscribed to my channel and if you love unboxing, gadgets and stationery items then please do give it a look and then decide to subscribe - www.youtube.com/@thelifesway

Thanks a lot to all the brands for all the launch event invites and other expos happening around me to attend. I am really grateful to the expo as it has expanded my mindset to check out thousands of brands and companies that are there to help their customers in whatever way possible. 

Aum Namah Shivay!

Till next time...Aashish

Thanks! Cheers!!!

SKYWORTH Makes History with South Africa's first 100" 4K QLED Google TV and A Stunning Lineup of Versatile Products

Hi Guys, 

SKYWORTH has been a major player in the South African tech market for almost a decade, wowing consumers with its cutting-edge technology and comprehensive product line, featuring OLED, Mini LED, QLED, 4K LED, and more. Now, they've taken things up a notch with their 2023 product launch lineup.

Last week, at their Megatech Global Tour Launch, the brand unveiled the largest 4K QLED Google TV in South Africa - the SUF958P, boasting an incredible 100" infinite screen that promises an unparalleled viewing experience. The SUF958P takes picture quality to another level with QLED technology, offering vast colour depth and a high-contrast display. With Chameleon Extreme 3.0 and its 120Hz refresh rate at 4K, the visuals are simply stunning. Plus, the 2.1.2ch sound and Dolby Atmos deliver captivating audio with 3D object movement, making you feel like you're right in the heart of the action and Flicker-Free technology means your eyes are protected from invisible flash and screen flash.

“We can say with confidence that our new products will not only bring excellent features, but will also offer an experience that will meet and exceed all customer expectations,” explained SKYWORTH South Africa GM, Ms Rita Mo.

In a first for SKYWORTH, they’ve teamed up with Design Works, a BMW Group Company, to create the exquisite BM series products, featuring an array of diverse technology home appliances. Luxurious BMW features the brand is known for have been seamlessly integrated into SKYWORTH products – from a stunning OLED TV that's a true visual masterpiece, to a multi-door fridge that brings with it both elegance and functionality and two powerful washing machines: the BM58 & BM55.

The launch included a wide range of home appliances too: Experience the ultimate convenience with extra-large capacity multi-door refrigerators and table fridges, keeping your drinks chilled during those intense game-watching sessions. And the variable frequency direct-drive washing machine ensures a hassle-free cleaning experience.

Their new audio system, when paired with the TV, provides an immersive surround sound experience that creates an unmatched ambience. Even when used independently, it still delivers an exceptional audio experience.

Last, but certainly not least, in their 2023 product lineup is their 24” Portable Google TV. Nicknamed ‘Follow Me’ it can accompany you anytime anywhere, from road trips to camping getaways. It may be small, but it packs a punch, with four hours of uninterrupted playback time, so the game or your favourite series can continue even when load-shedding hits.

“This launch signifies more than just a product lineup; it showcases SKYWORTH's impressive technological prowess and dedication to innovation in the South African market.”

Mo added that SKYWORTH has a strong manufacturing base and supply chain system in South Africa, allowing the company to become the first TV brand locally to:

• Introduce borderless screens
• Launch Android TVs
• Launch Android OLED TVs
• Launch the largest Android 10 TV
• Launch a 100-inch 4K QLED TV

“SKYWORTH will continue to innovate in the technology realm, meeting and exceeding the demands of our customers."

5 Biggest Considerations When Buying A New TV? @SkyworthSA #SkysTheLimit

Hi Friends,

With so many technological advancements that cater to various needs and endless options on the market, buying a new TV for your home can be pretty daunting. Given the role a TV occupies in the home – providing entertainment, relaxation and a window to the world for the whole family – it’s not a purchasing decision to be made lightly. Not to mention the fact that you’re likely to spend a rather large sum of hard-earned dough in the process. Fear not - we’re here to help you decide. Here are five important things to think about before you swipe that plastic to ensure your new TV will bring nothing but joy into your home (ok, and maybe a couple of disagreements on what to watch).

Size matters
If you’re a fan of action-packed movies or nail-biting sporting events, you already know how important the size of the screen is. Consider the space into which your new TV will fit, and take measurements of the wall area or cabinet it’s going to sit on to make sure that you’re being practical about its size. How many people will be watching the TV at the same time? Now opt for the largest screen size that will fit comfortably in your lounge (and your budget). Generally, anything between 55 and 65 inches is a great all-around pick according to price, performance and how close most families sit to the TV.

Is it digital-ready?
South Africa’s digital migration is upon us and by June 2019, you’ll either need a digital-ready TV that can transmit digital signals or a Set-Top Box to decode digital signals for your old, box-style analog TV set. The benefits of investing in a digital TV include crystal-clear image quality, excellent sound and a wider range of channels. Ask the sales assistant to show you their range of digital-ready TVs when making your selection.

Does it have a 4K screen resolution?
Resolution refers to the sharpness of the TV picture, usually in terms of horizontal lines of pixels. Ultra HD/ 4K sets have four times more pixels than current Full HD screens. That’s as many as 2 160 horizontal lines, or 3 840 x 2 160 pixels. The result? Super-sharp, detailed and lifelike images, even on large screen sizes. For this reason, a 4K resolution is becoming increasingly popular because it’s a much better choice if you want to future-proof your investment – Skyworth’s G6 model was created with this in mind; it’s basically an Android TV made for the future.

What will you be using your TV for?
Apart from the obvious activity of chilling out to watch your favorite shows, what else do you want to be able to do with your TV? Will your kids be using it to play games? Will you be streaming shows on it? All of these preferences will impact the specific features that will attract you to buy a certain model over another one, so it’s wise to do your research, either online or in store before you say ‘yes’ to the device. Also, look out for at least four HDMI ports at the back of the set as these tend to get used up very quickly, especially if you are using accessories like a sound bar.

Does it include cutting-edge technology?
From Google Voice Assist, allowing you to speak to your TV, to rich connectivity via Bluetooth, selecting a TV that has advanced capabilities makes for a smarter TV and one you aren’t likely to need to replace in a few years’ time. With Android System 6.0, an easily updatable operating system, the G6 TV is your best bet when it comes to constantly upgrade your TV without forking out money every time.
