Samsung recently revealed their Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Edition but at the time they did not mention when it might be released. A new teaser from Samsung has now revealed that date to be 7 July 2016. Like the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Injustice Edition the Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Edition probably won't change much in terms of tech specs or hardware but does sport the Olympic Logo on the back and will probably come with an Olympics themed interface and apps. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but we hope it won't be as high as the Injustice Edition which went for RM4099.

The front and back glass encased honor 8 has apparently appeared and been priced at online retailer oppomart. The oppomart listing reveals tech specs and a price tag of $399 (RM1592). Adding on 6% GST raises this to about RM1687 but this is by no means the confirmed Malaysia pricing.

Tech specs were more or less confirmed as below:

• Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 950 processor
• 3GB / 4GB RAM
• 32GB / 64GB storage
• 5.2-inch display FHD, 2560 x 1440 pixels (CABC and DRAM - Display RAM)
• 12MP dual rear camera (dual LED flash, laser autofocus) + 8MP front camera
• dual 4G LTE connectivity (nano SIM)
• 145.5 x 71.0 x 7.45mm | 153g
• 3150 mAh battery
• Android 6.0 + EMUI 4.1

China's TENAA recently listed the honor V8 Max which has the standout feature of a 6.6-inch 2K AMOLED display, making this the more likely smartphone for VR viewing that Huawei's Richard Yu changed his mind on. Other tech specs are not nearly as higher-end as the actual honor V8 as the V8 Max only has a single 13MP rear camera. However, other tech specs remain the same like the Kirin 950 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and fingerprint sensor.

A new patent application by Samsung Display published today in South Korea shows a possible 3-in-1 device that transforms from a watch into a phone, and even a tablet. This transformation is made possible the new technology based on stretchable OLED display.

We have seen the specs for the “Sailfish” Nexus model, and now we have the specs of the second model, “Marlin” spotted online, if the report is legitimate. Both Google devices will be built by HTC this time around, and the specs of the phone looks to be quite good for a flagship device.

We have covered on the patent that Samsung may be using to incorporate the iris scanner into the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Now we have a sneak peek photo of the front of the upcoming phablet, and it somewhat confirms the presence of an iris scanner as a security device for the smartphone.

Announced back in MWC, the HP Elite X3 is the company's take of a fully featured flagship smartphone that runs Windows 10 Mobile. Now we have news that the phone is set to arrive at our shores, and we can expect it as early as this September.

As of 30 June 2016, Microsoft Malaysia has announced a three-year partnership with the Malaysian Prisons Department (under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs), to provide juvenile inmates in the country with digital literacy and upskilling opportunities in the areas of digital inclusion, entrepreneurship, and capacity building.

As you may be already aware, a free Windows 10 upgrade will be ending on 29 July this month. If you haven't upgraded it, here's one good reason to do so, because since Microsoft Corp. decided that the free upgrade isn't enough, they have announced that on 2 August, a Windows 10 Anniversary Update will be coming to all Windows 10 devices for free. So what can the free upgrade offer?
