While most of the Android manufacturers and brands are prepping for the MWC 2019, Apple is also doing their own thing but there's nothing much we know about the new Apple iPhone 2019 lineup until now. But thanks to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we got some juicy news so here's what we can expect.

Just last week, vivo teased a new brand called iQOO (pronounced as eye-coo) and it was dubbed as the new gaming lineup for the company. Supposedly, it was also hinted to be a foldable smartphone as well with the recent rumours but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, as it has already been shown by a TV presenter in China.

Ahead of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 series launch (which we are covering on site, so stay tuned for that), Samsung officially launched their premium Galaxy Tab S5e and affordable Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) tablets. Offering a much thinner 5.5mm thin metal body with 10.5-inch 2K Super AMOLED display, up to 6GB of RAM, quad speakers, AKG + Dolby Atmos audio and a 7040 mAh battery the Galaxy Tab S5e starts from $399.99 (~RM1630). It is expected to arrive in Q2 2019 but considering the state of Malaysia's tablet market, we're not sure if it will make it at all. It will support Samsung DeX and have a keyboard accessory though, so we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung Malaysia brings it in as a premium executive device.

Apple AirPods 2? Yup, apparently it looks like the new Bluetooth accessory is coming "true".
