We are halfway through 2020 and Xiaomi Malaysia just started kicking off their first-ver 6.18 Online Mid Year Sales today. Available on Xiaomi LazMall Flagship Store and the Mi Official Store on Shopee Mall, Mi fans and customers can get their hands on a wide variety of promotions including the recently released POCO F2 Pro at a discount up to RM200.

Earlier on, Zoom mentioned that the company will be launching the end-to-end encryption to be a premium feature for paying customers only. Yesterday, a blog post from CEO of Zoom Eric Yuan posted Zoom will now offer the end-to-end encryption to all users including non-premium users.

It looks like anime characters are the best to have collaboration with when it comes to releasing special edition products. Nowadays, we can see various products ranging from smartphones to watches taking inspiration from anime series. Earlier today, we saw a collaboration between Casio's G-SCHOCK and One Piece on a watch that many One Piece fans would die for. Now, it appears that the watchmaker has another impressive collaboration as well, which is a Dragon Ball Z edition G-SHOCK watch.

Other than the foldable display, the secondary display is also one of the innovative designs that smartphone manufacturers can explore further. Earlier, we have seen smartphones like the Meizu Pro 7, Yotaphone and Nubia X being launched with the feature. Now, it looks like Huawei might have a new smartphone with a secondary display as well after a patent filed by the company is spotted.

It seems that a poster relating to the Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 has been spotted and it hints that the device will come with a surround screen design, which is basically having screens on all sides of the smartphone. Unfortunately, other than what is showcased on the poster, nothing is known in regards to the release date and local pricing for now.

Earlier, we have come across rumours saying that Apple would reveal the first batch of MacBooks that come with ARM-based processors at the upcoming WWDC event. Other than laptops, iMac with a new design is expected to be announced at the event as well. Besides the new design, Apple's desktop computer will also get a technology that is featured on iPhones and iPads for quite some time, and it's the Face ID.

It seems that a bunch of hands-on pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2 has been spotted on Ice Universe’s Twitter account, showcasing the overall design and dimensions of both the smartwatches. An interesting thing to note is that the tweet mentions that both the watches will most likely come with a mechanical component, which means that there is a possibility of rotating bezels.

It seems that the Nokia 8.3 5G smartphone by HMD Global has been spotted on Amazon Germany, and it seems to come in 2 storage configurations from the price of 599 Euros (~RM2881). While not much is known in regards to the exact release date of the smartphone, the listing on Amazon suggests that it will most likely be available for purchase around July 2020.

Premium watch brands nowadays tend to come out with a special edition wearable based on a popular franchise. Take Seiko for instance, which revealed a very cool ONE PIECE limited edition last year that got a lot of fans drooling. This time, it's G-SHOCK's turn with their own ONE PIECE spin and it looks badass. 

Based on a statement by thelec.kr, it seems that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy M41 smartphone has been cancelled due to issues from third-party displays. With that said, it is highly unlikely Samsung plans to work on the M41 and allocate more focus on the Galaxy M51 instead.
