It seems that the signed agreements between Celcom, P1 and TM back in January are showing results. This collaboration may probably end up turning WeBe into a new mobile operator.

From the leaked photos surfacing from popular local blogs and websites, it seems that WeBe will be offering 20GB of data, 1000 talk time minutes, and 1000 SMS for RM8/month. Best of all their unlimited plan will only cost RM80/month for unlimited 4g internet, unlimited SMS and unlimited phone calls.

Aries Telecoms, the Malaysia local wholesale telecommunications service provider, has just recently launched a 1Gbps broadband package pricing at RM5000 a month.

Instead, they are targeting those businesses that require high-speed internet connection for their daily operation in the company.

Huawei has been on a roll recently, hitting all the right notes, resulting in a net profit of 36.9 billion CNY. While there were profits from the carrier and enterprise business groups, what should be noted was a 73% rise year on year from the consumer business group (they're the ones making the Huawei Mate 8, Huawei Nexus 6P, honor 7 Enhanced, honor 7, honor 5X, Huawei MateBook and just announced Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 Plus).

HTC have already revealed HTC 10 teaser trailers featuring the best BoomSound audio, cameras with 4K video recording, OIS and Ultrapixel technology and now the latest one says it will have awesome battery life.

No specific Malaysia release dates or pricing details either but it is expected to get announced online on 12 April 2016.
