A brand that many may have forgotten, Blackberry is reported in the midst of developing three new models that runs Android. Codenamed Neon, Argon and Mercury, the report states that the three models will be for three different price ranges.

The OPPO Find series has passed two years without seeing any new model introduced in the line. The last model was the OPPO Find 7, but we have seen reports appearing online for a new Find series model that is set to appear either this year or the next. Now the wizards online have shared a render on how the Find 9 may look like.

We have now known that the official name of the upcoming Note series from Samsung will be the Samsung Galaxy Note7, and we have seen snippets of it here and there. Now we have a few more renders of the device – this time the press version.

Starting on 1 July 2016, Celcom Axiata Berhad is excited to introduce the new enhanced FIRST Gold 1+5 for families, with an array of attractive promotions and digital mobile content, which can be easily accessed anytime and anywhere via quick code *555#.

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.
