The recently released ASUS ZenFone Max Plus with its 5.7-inch 18:9 aspect ratio display can be bought for RM499 tomorrow at the new opening of DirectD Digital Mall Kajang tomorrow at 8am (the queue starts at 6am). Looking at the Facebook page, a number of other smartphones going for this promotion also jump out including the Honor 8, Moto M and the ASUS ZenFone 4 Max Pro.

If you're an honor fan, chances are you have already heard of honor 8 not being able to update its operating system to Android 8.0 Oreo. That's a shame, but it doesn't mean that it will never get another update again. According to sources online, the phone has already got some new updates based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Below is the list of updates for the honor 8.

It may not be December but we are already halfway there! Just today, honor Malaysia has announced its ‘Celebrate Christmas with honor’ promotion of slashing off prices from a number of devices which includes the honor 8 pro, honor 8, honor 6X, honor 6A Pro and honor 5A.

If you're looking to get an Honor device, you're in luck as they are now offering Malaysia Day discounts, deals and freebies including RM300 off for the honor 8 (32GB and 64GB storage), RM200 off the honor 6X (64GB storage) and RM100 off the honor 5A. Those who buy the honor 8 Pro on Vmall.my, will receive a limited edition Mobile Legends skin with an exclusive backpack, glass water bottle and t-shirt worth RM399. The Honor Malaysia Day promotions are available until 1 October 2017.

In an offline move, it appears that retail stores selling the Honor 8 will be offering special pricing deals on the high spec and low spec versions. No info on which retail stores exactly are offering these price deals but you can see the price breakdown below. The pretty upper midrange Honor 8 is still a good smartphone to get but if you need some more details about it feel free to check out our review.

Following the recent release of the honor 8 Pro, honor Malaysia will be hosting two roadshows at Klang Valley and Penang together with an in-store promotion that will take place at Urban Republic, Queensbay Mall, Penang. At the price of RM1999, customers who purchase the device will be given a special promotion and free giveaways.

Do you remember that Honor 8 Sakura Pink model we reported last month reported last month at TechNave.com? Initially being sold at 11street.com, Honor is now officially offering this special edition device for the upcoming Mother’s Day for RM1899.

Have you always wanted a different colour for the beautifully crafted Honor 8, other than the Black, White, Blue and Gold? Well, it looks like Honor 8 will be available in Sakura Pink soon!

Do you own a Huawei P9 or Honor 8? Did you know that the much-awaited Android 7.0 Nougat and EMUI 5.0 update is now available for your phones? If you hadn't been checking for any software updates on your phone recently, now is the time check for updates on the Updater app on your phone!

According to reliable sources, EMU 5.0, Huawei and Honor's Android-based operating system will be coming soon. One of the major features it will apparently be bringing to compatible Huawei and Honor devices is machine-learning to avoid your device from "aging". Previously launched with the Huawei Mate 9, our source says that that particular feature will be available to devices from the Huawei P9 and Honor 8 onwards.
