If you missed out on getting your hands on a unit of the limited edition Valentine Red OPPO R9s earlier this month, fret not, as OPPO Malaysia is back with yet another special edition of the OPPO R9s! This time, they teamed up with one of their company ambassador in Malaysia, Min Chen.

While it is still essentially the same hardware as the standard R9s that was launched earlier this year, it receives the same striking red finish as the Valentine Red Edition, but this time, instead of offering customised engraving, all OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition will have the artist’s signature laser-engraved on its back, much like the OPPO F1s Ayda Jebat Edition. To make it extra special, the OPPO R9s Min Chen Special Edition box set will include a mini Min Chen standee, four postcards featuring the artist’s photo, and a phone cover featuring a cartoonised image of the artist.

Good news to all ASUS Malaysian fans! Two new colours variant have been added to the ZenFone Max (ZC553KL) - Rose Pink and Sand Gold!. How do you get one? Well, they are now available in Malaysia for the same retail price of RM869, but there’s a kicker, those who purchase the Rose Pink and Sand Gold Zenfone Max are entitled to redeem a Special gift too!

Just recently in Taiwan, Acer has been awarded the Taiwan Excellence Gold award for its Predator 21 X gaming notebook. This was based on criterias including R&D, design, quality, and marketing strategy, by a panel of industry professionals.

In an unrelated Huawei mobile news, it was recently announced that Huawei Consumer Business Group and The Pantone Color Institute have partnered to feature the latest trend colours in Huawei’s upcoming product launches. But what does this mean?

Yesterday, HTC has launched an all-new HTC U Ultra and U Play in Malaysia. Available from early March onward for RM2999 and RM1899 respectively, the two models come in different colour format as Brilliant Black, Cosmetic Pink, and Sapphire Blue (U Ultra), while the latter comes in Black Oil and Iceberg White. Below are the official specifications:

In today’s news, a new model number has just passed by TENAA’s site and many thought that it was the Xiaomi Redmi 4X (not the Redmi Note 4X), however, it could actually be another phone with an updated design and improved tech-specs, which could be the Redmi 5 instead.

Following the hype of Huawei posting “Colour is the new black” teasers on their Twitter account, it seems inevitable now more and more P10 leaks are spreading out online, particularly with the latest “real-life” photos of the device as leaked by the Federal Communications Commission.

In case you didn’t know, it’s not uncommon for Chinese smartphone manufacturers to slap a different name on their phones for international release purpose. One good example is when Oppo released the F1 Plus as an international model, but it’s the same one as the R9. So today, it seems that the latest news is that the Honor V9 will have a name-change for international release. 

Counting down to MWC on February 26, which Huawei will be making a big announcement, we came across what seems like some leaked renders of promotional images for the upcoming Huawei P10 Plus. Judging from these seemingly official renders, the P10 Plus will have its fingerprint reader mounted on the back, just like the Huawei P9 Plus, its predecessor, the difference however, is a dual-curved display which looks amazingly gorgeous.

Lenovo had been rumoured to launch some new phones during MWC2017, which would very well be the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus mid-range devices. The latest leak includes what seems like official press renders, with all the information including full specs and more photos of the pair of phones, all, except pricing information.

Being the “Plus” model, the Moto G5 Plus will be obviously be the higher-end model between the two. It comes with a 5.2-inch Full HD (1080p) display, 12MP main camera with dual pixel autofocus, Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset, generous 64GB of internal storage, and NFC. Keeping the lights on is a 3000mAh battery with “TurboPower" charger.

The Moto G5, being the smaller sibling, has a slightly smaller 5-inch display (though it retains the Full HD 1080p resolution), a 13MP PDAF main camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, 32GB of expandable storage, as well a 2800mAh battery with 10W rapid charger. There is however, no NFC with the Moto G5.
