PSA or Public Service Announcement time TechNavers, the 1st of April has long been considered April Fools and that seems to be a tradition with those in tech as well. Already we've got quite a few “interesting” announcements from Google and Alcatel, but checking through, they're probably fake news, so be careful what you believe in tech today.

Huawei has announced that from 30 March 2019 until 1 April 2019, they will be running a contest in which they will be giving away a Huawei P30 Pro to one lucky winner.

What a hectic week, as we mentioned from our previous Newsbytes, there were several new smartphones launches over the past two weeks and the biggest highlight is obviously the Huawei P30 Series, which has a crazy zoom in feature that can go up to 50x with the P30 Pro, whereas the P30 can go up to 30x. You can check out our full coverage here and our hands-on video here as well. The P30 series is set to arrive in Malaysia on 2 April 2019. 

Realme has announced that their recently released Realme 3, will be on sale on Lazada for the low price of RM549 on 4 April 2019. That being said, the device will only be limited to the 3GB RAM + 32GB internal storage variant in the Radiant Blue colour scheme. If you are interested, be sure to catch the sale as it is available for one day only.

We had an idea that the OPPO Reno may feature a pop up camera as we have seen the device leaked showing off a completely bezel-less display but we weren’t sure how it may be implemented. A leaked hands on video surfaced this morning, showing off a triangular pop up selfie camera on the OPPO Reno.

So far, we have seen the Huawei P30 series’ European price and they were quite expensive. The prices for the devices have leaked in China and it shows 6 different variants of the device with prices starting from RMB 3988 (~RM2414).

If 512GB is not enough to suit your needs on the Samsung Galaxy S10+, why not go for the 1TB variant instead? Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ with 1TB of internal storage is now here in Malaysia for RM5999.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 series is about to get some pretty impressive features. The first one is the 25W fast charging feature and the second is Super Night mode.

No, this isn’t an early April Fools joke. JPJ now requires all e-hailing drivers such as Grab to register for a PSV (Public Service Vehicle) license, starting from the first of April 2019. The PSV training module would cost a maximum of RM200, and it requires up to 6 hours to complete. Once the training has been completed, the driver required to display a designated e-hailing sticker on their vehicle as per the orders of JPJ.

Today, Celcom has announced that its own eSIM (embedded SIM) package is now available. According to their website, only three phones are eligible for eSIM which are the Apple iPhone XS 64GB, iPhone XS Max 64GB and the iPhone XR 64GB model starting from RM58 per month.
