Just a few hours ago, Vmall.my somehow slipped out a price tag on the Huawei Nexus 6P (64GB model) on the page but it’s gone now. Luckily, Amanz.my managed to take a quick screen shot showing us the details and confirming that Malaysia will be getting the Nexus 6P. The price was listed as RM2698 (with GST) coming in either Aluminium and Graphite colour options.

Although it’s not the official announcement, it does seem legitimate since the Nexus 6P costs $499 (RM2113.44, 32GB model) and $549 (RM2325.21, 64GB model) in the USA so you can start saving up your savings now for a nice Christmas gift. It runs on a Snapdragon 810 processor with a 3GB RAM, while the screen is measured 5.7-inch with a Quad HD display, the main camera is 12.3MP while the front is 8MP. It also has a fingerprint scanner and front stereo speakers, with Android 6.0 Marshmallow pre-installed fueled by a 3450 mAh battery with Quick Charge technology (USB Type C).

So it's official, Xiaomi has unveiled the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 to the world and listed the official tech specs. Without further ado, here you go:-

• Octa-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 with MediaTek Helio X10 processor
• 2GB and 3GB dual-channel LPDDR3 RAM variants 
• 16GB and 32GB internal storage variants
• 5.5-inch Full HD, fully-laminated display with Xiaomi Sunlight  Display technology

There are a few reports that Huawei has inserted a clue inside their invites for the upcoming Huawei Mate 8 official event (26 November). Inside the invitation card there is a 32GB flash memory storage. What does this mean? Did they accidentally put in the disk in all of the invitation cards? Seems unlikely.

As you may know, it’s tradition that smartphones will have a 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB worth of storage space. With this mysterious 32GB disk in the card, it looks like they are trying to tell us that the Mate 8 will just start off with the 32GB version.

Ultimate Ears have announced a UE BOOM year-end promo starting on 16 November until 31 December 2015, prices are slashed from RM799 to RM599 for the first unit and RM399 if you happen to get a second one. As according to the date, this promotion is on a limited time offer and will be available at selected local stores:-

We have already covered how Xiaomi is teasing us about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro and a possible appearance of Xiaomi Mi 5 at a press conference (24 November). Now we have reports of another teaser released by Xiaomi’s president that suggest something else will show up at the event too - the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 tablet. 

In the tech specs corner, according to the GeekBench database the tablet will feature a quad-core Intel Atom x5-Z8500 processor with 2.24GHz, 2GB RAM power, and Android 5.1. There’s also a rumour that Mi Pad 2 has a dual-boot system, running on either Android 5.1 or Windows 10. And from the teaser image above, the Mi Pad 2 sure looks pretty. The body material looks like it is made of metal with smooth rounded corners and edges, a big step away from the Xiaomi Mi Pad’s plastic body. The camera is also shown at the corner, along with the power and volume buttons at the side.

The Lenovo Vibe P1 and Vibe P1m are finally here in Malaysia, the difference between the two is the Vibe P1 is more premium than the Vibe P1m; however both possess the same enormous 5000 mah and 4000 mAh battery respectively. Both of these devices are designed for those who are always working on their smartphones, quite ideal for travellers relying on their GPS.
