The HONOR Band 5 has been confirmed to feature a blood oxygen monitor thanks to HONOR president, George Zhao. He shared this information over on Weibo. The design looks similar to the HONOR Band 4 but the display seems to be an AMOLED display with some crisp colours and a circular button at the bottom.

In 2018, the Apple iPhone XR was the more popular choice when compared with the iPhone XS series. Thanks to its "affordable" price tag and not-too-far tech specs, it certainly gained favour from the consumers and obviously, this calls for a new successor which has no official name yet, but sources say that it will be called iPhone XR2 (or the 11R that was shown on the image, so we are just gonna call it that).

Drivers for e-hailing services such as the ever popular Grab has been instructed to register for their Public Service Vehicle (PSV) license starting last April. As the deadline of July 12 looms ahead, we riders may be seeing a jump in price and waiting time for the popular service as the fee for the PSV license is steep.

Sony has unveiled the Sony WF-1000XM3 wireless noise cancelling earphones in Malaysia, starting from the price of RM949. The aforementioned wireless earphones will be available for purchase by August 2019, on their official website as well as all Sony Experience Stores nationwide.

Based on a statement by IHS Markit analyst Jeff Lin, Apple could be planning to manufacture a 12-inch foldable iPad and it is expected to be launched around the year 2020. In addition to the foldability, the rumoured iPad is expected to come equipped with 5G-network capabilities as well as Apple Pencil support.

Can you believe that it's already July? We are now entering the second half of 2019 and...there isn't a lot going on except for many 7.7 sales, especially on Shopee's platform. Aside from that, another worthy sale promotion that's going on is Huawei's Online IT Fair which is offering a 2-year warranty and up to RM400 discount on its mobile phones now, Samsung is also teaming up with MBO offering Malaysians a Buy 1 Free 1 promo for movie fans, and the Galaxy Note 10 will officially be UNPACKED on 7 August 2019. 

So....yeah I think I'm talking here. Told you there isn't much going on haha. Anyway, the most exciting part is probably looking out for sales on Shopee's 7.7 Orange Madness campaign so do standby if you're planning to buy anything. Anyway, onto this week's NewsBytes. 

OPPO has announced that the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, will be restocked today at all OPPO Concept stores across Malaysia, Lazada, Shopee, as well as telco partners such as Celcom and Maxis. To give you a little context, the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom was launched at 27 May 2019 starting from the price of RM3399. The device was such a huge hit, that it was sold out over the month.

In conjunction with HONOR Malaysia’s 5th Anniversary, get up to RM540 in savings and free gifts when you purchase devices from HONOR Malaysia’s official online store. The deal starts from 8 July to 17 July 2019, and it will include smartphones such as the HONOR View 20, HONOR 20 Lite, HONOR 10 Lite, HONOR 8C, HONOR 8X, and HONOR 10.

Ah yes, the age-old question. Should we be catching the early bird promos for the just-released smartphone? Or skip the line and pay full price? Or should we be waiting for the never-ending promotions that come a few weeks after the products are launched?

With so many phones being constantly released on the market, it’s hard to make a decision. For instance, Huawei had recently run a campaign, slashing the prices of the Huawei P30 series and the Huawei Nova 3i starting from the 1st of July. Those who had queued early for their devices were disappointed as they felt that they were being punished for being the first to queue for their devices. Let’s discuss.

Previously, Huawei Malaysia held a Service Day from 31 May until 1 June for their Huawei customers for free. Due to popular demand, they are bringing it back once again for today and tomorrow across the nation! Just like before, customers will enjoy a free out of warranty labour charge, as well as a free phone disinfecting service and others.
