It's been almost a month now since Android Wear 2.0 was revealed at Google I/O 2016, previously we covered briefly on what the new version has to offer and many publications didn't really show much. Thanks to 9to5google.com, we now have more new information on more features from Android Wear 2.0.

If you haven't heard, OnePlus 3 will make a debut on 15 June 2016 in China. We have also seen a lot of specifications leaked online and by TENAA, so as the render concepts but never the actual device, until now that is.

This week Computex started but for most of us, ASUS stole the show with their Zenvolution, announcing the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ZenFone 3 and ZenFone 3 Ultra. ASUS didn't stop there and also announced their ASUS Transformer 3 2-in-1 laptops and the ASUS ZenBook 3 but their biggest news turned out to be their ZenBo personal robot. Huawei Malaysia started the sale of their Huawei P9 and P9 Lite and subsequently announced the price and release date for the much awaited Huawei P9 Plus and more.

It appears that honor could be coming out with a new device for Europe on 20 June 2016 as invited for an online reveal have been sent out. We expect this to be the honor 8 which earlier rumours have indicated that it will be "more beautiful" than the honor V8 but still packing in a dual rear camera setup. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but Malaysia is expected to get that device sometime in Q3 2016, so do take this with a pinch of salt.

The OnePlus 3 recently got listed on OppoMart, revealing tech specs like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, up to 6GB of RAM, a front fingerprint sensor and more for $369 (RM1506). The image that it comes with shows a very HTC One like metal unibody design with just a single LED flash (recent offerings like the Huawei P9 and ASUS ZenFone 3 have double LED flash and triple autofocus) which makes us question its relevancy in today's phone market. No news on Malaysia release dates but the OnePlus 3 is expected to be revealed on 14 June 2016 without any invites required to buy it.

Reports indicate that Huawei could be making another Huawei Nexus device this year after last year's Huawei Nexus 6P. Honestly, we're not surprised, as the Nexus 6P is by far the best Nexus device yet but this rumour actually comes from a statement made by Charlene Munilall, Huawei South Africa, General Manager. No actual tech specs or Malaysia release dates and pricing details were revealed but we assume that it will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and at least a 2K display with the capability to support Android Daydream VR.

Xiaomi recently unveiled their latest and most advanced successor to the Mi Band, the Xiaomi Mi Band 2. Surprisingly, the price still remains affordable at RMB 149 (RM94) with some new features. It packs tech specs of heart-rate and sleep tracker, OLED screen, 20-day battery life, IP67 water resistant, ADI accelerometer and optical heart rate sensor, Anodized 0.05mm ultra-thin button, upgraded pedometer algorithm, Hypoallergenic silicone band and second-gen Bluetooth 4.0 for stable connections.

Runners, this may be your best solution to tangled wires while running. The Samsung Gear IconX is a wireless earbud that doubles as your fitness tracker device. It fits nicely in your ear, and you can run with it without the need of your phone near by.

After so many leaks online, the latest health tracker from Samsung is finally launched. The Samsung Gear Fit 2 is a refresh of the original Gear Fit, that was launched in 2014, and it comes with more features than the eye could see. 

Take heed Huawei and Apple – the number one phone manufacturer might just be on your tail for dual camera implementation. As Samsung prepares their next Galaxy Note  Edge model, the rumours are flying that it will also feature a dual camera setup.
