As we get closer to August, many are looking forward to the end of the movement control order (MCO) - that is now in the recovery MCO phase - in a month's time. But that may not happen if the situation progresses in the wrong direction. Earlier today, our government has declared that MCO will be reimposed if the situation deteriorates again.

Nubia gaming smartphones are pretty good and it's rather unfortunate that the brand has no real presence in Malaysia.

It seems that the features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 have been leaked, based on the source code of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Plugin app uploaded to the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

Based on an image of a screen protector that was spotted on weibo, it seems that the upcoming Huawei Mate 40 Pro will most likely come equipped with a curved screen display. Other than that, our source has also mentioned that the device will come with an in-display selfie camera and have a double hole-punch notch towards the top left of the display.

Just a few days ago, it was rumoured that Huawei could have turned to Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) for OLED displays. The company will be using OLED technology for its upcoming Mate 40 series, but there could be more. Allegedly, a demo unit with a flexible display was spotted recently.

Smartphones, tablets, and foldable devices are exciting stuff, but they're Samsung's only products.
