LEAGOO Malaysia is back with another classic series, the LEAGOO C2. What separates the C2 from the rest like the Elite, Alfa and lead series smartphone is that it was designed for customers who are looking for a secondary or low maintenance easy-to-use device. And it only costs RM69, (wow!)

Featuring a solid body with an LCD colour display and 1.3MP main camera, it supports a microSD card up to 32GB worth of storage too. It also has a Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, which means it is capable of having two SIM cards with only one transceiver, minimizing the troubles of needing to carry multiple phones everywhere. And just like the good old days, the smartphone can last 10 days of heavy usage even though the battery is only 600 mAh.

After a bit of teasing, Huawei Malaysia have sent out the save-the-date notices confirming that yes, the Huawei Nexus 6P is coming to Malaysia and as soon as 8 December 2015 (next week). No official pricing details yet (some say RM2698 but Huawei says to wait and see) but as a refresher, the Nexus 6P features tech specs that include a 2K resolution display, a fingerprint sensor, dual front speakers, USB Type-C ports and a 12.3MP rear camera with super large 1.55-micron pixel Sony sensor that can record 4K video at 30fps. It also comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box. Check out the video below for more recaps.

When the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 was revealed on 24 November, it gained quite a buzz over its mighty 64-bit Intel Atom X5-Z85000 processor with 2GB dual-channel LPDDR3 RAM. Not to mention, the rest of its tech specs are also most impressive. To recap, the device has a 16GB and 64GB internal storage variant, a 7.9-inch IPS display with 2048 x 1536 resolution, 8MP and 5MP for the main and front camera, supports 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, runs on MIU7 and the battery is 6190 mAh. 

With such immense tech specs for a tablet, the dark grey/champagne gold full metal device easily scored over 85000 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. This makes the Mi Pad 2 one of the highest performing tablets (using Android), landing it in third placing just behind smartphones like the Huawei Mate 8 and Meizu Pro 5.

The ASUS ZenFone Selfie and ZenFone 2 Laser both utilize a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and in a recent promo video are apparently sushi-proof. The video shows Thai sushi chefs using the ZenFone 2 Laser display as a chopping board. You can check out the video for yourself below but for a closer look at all of the other high-end features and tech specs like laser auto-focus and 13MP cameras do check out our ASUS ZenFone Selfie review and ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser review.

Some time ago, in a “galaxy” that is not too far from the Internet, someone managed to screenshot some tidbits of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A5 sequel. Reading the coding in the image above, it seems that it retains most of the same number of pixels from its previous incarnation, mostly because of the 720p resolution listed there.

The fifth Vivo teaser in the Vivo teasing saga, seems to have confirmed the existence of the MediaTek Helio X20 chipset in the upcoming Vivo X6 and Vivo X6 Plus. It’s most likely a deca-core MT6797 SoC, if it tallies right with our previous article then both the normal and plus version will be equipped with it as well.

Besides that, the new teaser also confirms it will support 4G LTE connectivity. The new TENAA list is on par with our previous TENAA report, which states the device will be powered by a huge 4GB RAM with an updated 64GB internal storage (as opposed to the previous 32GB), the screen will be 5.77-inch with 1440 x 2560 resolution, which should fit nicely for the 21MP main camera and the 12MP front camera, and a big battery capacity of 4000 mAh.

Finally, after many weeks of teasing the Huawei Mate 8 has been officially unveiled and it is a fullmetal phablet with three types of pricing. The three variant costs are a 3GB + 32 GB model for CNY 2999 (RM1985.09), 4GB + 64GB for CNY 3699 (RM2448.43) and 4GB + 128GB for CNY 4399 (RM2911.78). It packs some serious tech specs too:-

• TSMC’s based Kirin 950, quad Cortex A72 cores (2.3GHz) and quad Cortex A53 cores (1.8GHz)  
• 3GB/4GB RAM
• 32GB/64GB/128GB  storage (microSD card not known)
• 6-inch screen with FHD 1920 x 1080p resolution
• Sony IMX298 16MP main camera and 8MP selfie snapper
• Dual-SIM slots

Samsung have been promoting their latest smartwatch - the Samsung Gear S2 for some time now but not quite like yesterday (26 November), when they held a fitness challenge movement for celebrities and media in Jatomi Fitness. The purpose of the event was to demonstrate the device’s capability and functionality in fitness tracking activities. 

“Wearable technology is one of the most exciting developments in the consumer electronics industry, not to mention a fast-growing fitness trend among consumers. With the Gear S2, we want to encourage people to gear up in making their health and fitness more achievable. This is an opportune moment to introduce a gear that will help wearers achieve their goals - both in and out of the gym!” said Mr. Lee Jui Siang, Vice President of Mobile, IT and Digital Imaging of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

As of 26 November, customers who have previously purchased Honor devices from VMALL.MY will be rewarded by Honor in Thanksgiving celebration style. All the customers have to do is to participate in a survey to redeem exciting prizes, which is a pretty good start for the coming holidays.

We hope that these gifts will reiterate how our consumers are the core of everything that we do, and that they are important to us.
