Redmi finally lifted the veil off their smartphone, showing both the back and front of their upcoming Snapdragon 855 device, the Redmi K20. It is now pretty much confirmed that the device will be completely notchless with super slim bezels and will also come with a 7th generation in-display fingerprint reader.

According to the BBC, ARM Holdings, designers of nearly all the smartphone chipsets and processors in the world recently sent out a memo to stop "all active contracts, support entitlements, and any pending engagements” with Huawei due to the US blacklisting. While ARM is a UK-based company owned by Japan-based SoftBank, it purportedly uses “US origin technology” in their designs which are also used in Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin chipsets. While this means that we could see less Huawei Kirin chipsets in the future, it isn’t all as grim or “insurmountable” as some may believe.

Apple has just introduced their first ever 8-core Macbook Pro with the 8th and 9th generation Intel Core processors. This would be the fastest MacBook Pro to date by the American company. Prices for the device start from RM7849 for the 13 inch variant and RM10499 for the 15 inch variant.

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business group was recently reported to have mentioned that Huawei's homegrown Plan B operating system will be coming to phones, computers, TVs, cars and wearables by Fall 2019. He went on to say that it is based on Android or is similar to Android, so we assume that it still works with the latest Android apps. No exact Malaysia release dates on when, but if we consider Fall to begin in July then it still falls within the earlier 3-month temporary license period we reported on earlier.

Today, HONOR did another global launch and this time around the HONOR 20 and HONOR 20 Pro smartphone got unveiled in London City starting from 499 Euros (~RM2331) and 599 Euros (~RM2790). Under the theme #CaptureWonder, this is the first time for HONOR to have an actual quad rear camera configuration on both phones and the Pro variant is able to go up to 30x digital zoom. Sounds familiar? Let's read on some more.

Starting today, the OnePlus 7 Pro has been officially launched in Malaysia starting from RM2999 and it will come equipped with notable features such as a HDR10+ and smooth 90Hz capable display, front-facing pop-up camera, 30W Warp Charge fast charging capabilities, and facial recognition system that is capable of unlocking the phone in just 0.21 seconds. It will be available in 3 different colours including Nebula Blue, Mirror Gray, and Almond from partners across Malaysia. There is also a special offer, where you could get a free OnePlus bullet when you purchase the device on Shopee.

It only took forever but HBO Go is confirmed to be hitting Malaysian shores soon via the HBO Go app, Astro Go or the Astro set top box. Set for release in May 2019 exclusively for Astro, it will be complimentary for those who subscribe to the Astro Movies Pack. You can download the HBO Go app from this site.

We finally have a date for the Redmi K20! The brand took to Weibo to share out some invitation posters for the device’s launch which will be launched on the 28th of May. The poster also confirms a feature on the device which is the 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor.

Apparently, realizing that there’s just too many loose ends to shore up, the US Government has just provided Huawei with a temporary license for 3 months that invalidates the previous blacklist. The license in particular states that Huawei suppliers in the US may sell Huawei equipment "necessary to maintain and support existing and currently fully operational networks and equipment, including software updates and patches."

The notch-free life may be within our reach, perhaps by next year. The Samsung Galaxy S10 series is the almost perfect device and now, rumours about the next gen smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S11, has emerged. The device may just be released with an under-display selfie camera.
