A 3D render video concept of the Samsung Galaxy S7 was found in YouTube just a few hours ago and it has gained some unfavourable feedback from the community, which is largely because of how similar it looks like to the Samsung Galaxy S6.

From the video and other sources, we have learned that the measurement is 143.37 x 70.8 x 6.94 mm and 163.32 x 82.01 x 7.82 mm (for the S7 Edge) which is slightly thicker than the S6; this suggests that the screen display could be 6-inch, and the device concept is lacking a USB Type-C as well, as the device is too thick. There are still no rumoured tech specs, but from our last report on the rumoured Galaxy S7 it’s likely to sport an Exynos 8 Octa or Snapdragon 820 chipsets, 4GB of RAM, a speculated 20 MP BRITECELL camera on the back and it will also feature a rectangular home button with an embedded fingerprint sensor. 

The Samsung Gear S2 (both modern and classic version) were released nationwide just last month on 27 November and Samsung Malaysia Electronics has opened a roadshow today (10 December) in Sunway Pyramid to not only promote their latest wearable, but they also hope to inspire the fans and public to start a healthy lifestyle for the coming New Year in the next three weeks.

“We will welcome 2016 in just a matter of weeks and for most of us, a new year means a fresh start and a revival of our resolutions. As the leading innovator that offers the perfect gear to help our users get started and stay ahead, we are confident that the Gear S2 will be a great companion and a source of motivation for them. We want our fans to think of December as a fresh start, and then slide into January ahead of the game!” said Mr. Lee Jui Siang, Vice President of Mobile, IT and Digital Imaging of Samsung Malaysia Electronics during the roadshow.

ASUS Malaysia continue to bring more ROG (Republic of Gamers) devices to their ASUS Store here in Malaysia with the announcement of the GX1000 Eagle Eye Mouse. Coming in Black and Silver, this brushed metal gaming mouse should offer gamers another option in their quest for fast response times and accurate killshots. As far as tech specs are concerned, the laser sensor offers a large yet precise 50 dpi to 8200 dpi resolution range and it also comes with six programmable macro buttons, three function slots, adjustable click-in weights and an LED dpi status indicator. 

Huawei recently revealed that their honor team in france have been doing very well in the French market particularly for their Thanksgiving sales. The star of the show was the honor 7 which was ranked first in leading online stores such as Amazon France and Rue de commerce with a total sales for the French market surpassing 10000 units as of 27 November 2015. The honor France team attributed this due to various activities such as "Your smartphone story" and collaborations with Deezer and others. Our own experience with the Honor 7 has been exceptional so if you are interested in this RM1399 feature-packed smartphone for yourself you can get it on VMALL.my or check out our hands-on and unboxing videos below.

Most 5.5-inch display smartphones pack in around 3000 mAh but battery life is at most 2 days or less. The Oukitel K10000, which packs a 10000 mAh battery is finally official and get this, it is going for sale at $199.99 (RM848) at Gearbest.com (use the K10000 coupon code).

As we reported earlier, other tech specs are rather midrange with a 1Ghz MediaTek MT6735 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 5.5-inch 720p display, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera and dual SIM 4G LTE. It still manages to keep the measurements fairly compact at 143 x 77 x 9mm and just 184g though. No Malaysia release dates yet, but we've been hearing rumours about Oukitel coming to Malaysia soon, so stay tuned for that.

A new OnePlus 3 image was leaked online recently and it has made quite a buzz, as the OnePlus X was released not so long ago at the end of October. This is also the first time we've heard about the OnePlus 3, and it’s rumoured to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset.

Besides that, the device could also carry a Full HD display and it seems to follow the OnePlus X’s design (more or less). The picture suggests that the device might have a full metal body as well, but for the moment it’s still too early to say anything as we weren’t given a slightest hint on the rest of the tech specs; that being said, it won’t be a surprising if the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 turns out to be true since OnePlus has always been known to use Qualcomm chipsets.

Weibo has announced a new Oppo R7 Plus high-end version and it’s on pre-order sale right now at the Oppo China website. The gold coloured full metal device has two different prices - the China Unicom version for RMB 2999 (RM1992.17) and RMB 3299 (RM2191.45) for the international model. 

Compared with the Oppo R7 Plus, both devices are quite similar in many areas. For one, they both have the same Snapdragon 615 chip + octa-core 1.5GHz CPU and Adreno 405 GPU, 6-inch AMOLED display with 1080 x 1920 resolution, 13MP main camera + 8MP front camera, hybrid SIM slot, Color OS 2.1 (based on Android 5.1 Lollipop) and a 4100 mAh battery tech specs. The only difference is that the R7 Plus high-end version has 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage, instead of the R7 Plus’s 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage. Also, the China Unicom model sports a MediaTek MT6795 processor.  

So according to 9to5mac.com, Apple is planning to reveal both the new Apple Watch and a 4-inch “Apple iPhone 6c” on March next year. This is not the first time that Apple has done an event on March, as they unveiled the 12-inch Macbook, a ResearchKit iPhone framework and the first generation Apple Watch in last year’s March. Apple also introduced the world with their first AppleiPad with Retina display in March 2012.

If you’re wondering what’s that big fat iPhone cover on the image, well that’d be the new iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case by Apple. They have quietly launched it in their online store and it costs $99 (RM421.67).

Coming in Charcoal Gray and White colour options, inserting the Apple iPhone 6s into the charger will automatically display an intelligent battery status on the smartphone’s lock screen and in the Notification Center, it also increases the talk time by up to 25 hours, 18 hours on internet usage, and even longer audio and video playback. We don’t know how much mAh is that, but that’s seriously a lot of power.
