Microsoft officially announced the Microsoft Lumia 650 recently. Going for about $199 (RM825), it is one of the few Lumia smartphones to pack in a good looking metal frame along with Windows 10.

LG G5 rumours have been around in the internet for quite some time now, especially since MWC 2016 is drawing closer. However, LG might be also planning another new G5 device in the line up – a G5 lite version. 

As MWC 2016 is getting closer, more companies are starting to throw in the hype of their own product teasers. Huawei will be one of the big competitors there, but we aren't sure what they will be showing us. However, we do know that it will involve a stylus pen and rumours said it could be a hybrid laptop that was speculated in the internet last month.

It seems that Lenovo is planning to introduce the Lemon 3 smartphone in MWC 2016 at Barcelona, according to the teaser which bears a lot of similarities to the Lemon 3 that we saw online last month. 

The thing about the Lemon 3 is that it is affordable and has exactly the same price as the Xiaomi Redmi 3 (around RM470). The specifications aren't too shabby as well, sporting an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage (expandable memory available), a 5-inch Full HD 1080P display, featuring13MP rear camera (with LED flash) and a 5MP at the front, a pair Dual Dolby Atmos speakers, supports 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and Micro USB, operates on Android 5.1 Lollipop, and finally runs on a 2750 mAh battery.

While the honor 5X and honor 7 Enhanced Edition were both previously launched as well as priced in Malaysia, there was only a pre-order for the honor 5X with no release date for the honor 7 Enhanced. The folks at honor Malaysia have since cleared thad up announcing that the metal frame, fingerprint sensor equipped smartphones will be available tomorrow on 16 February 2016 at 12pm. 

The honor 5x still packs in an RM899 price tag for the grey and silver versions, while the gold coloured version is going for RM939. The honor 7 Enhanced Edition brings better tech specs like 32GB of storage and NFC over the honor 7 at RM1499. Deliveries for the honor 5X pre-order will be done on 19 February 2016, so you won't have to wait long.

Building upon the first Moto 360 smartwatch, it looks like the Moto 360 2nd Generation is coming to Malaysia on 18 February 2016. Thanks to the invite we've received it looks like the whole family is coming with the Moto 360 2nd Gen and Moto 360 Sport.

We're expecting both the 46mm and 42mm Moto 360 2nd Gen smartwatches as well but there are still no official pricing details. Our current pricing shows the Moto 360 2nd Gen 42mm coming in from RM1411 while the 46mm version is going from RM1550 so prices could be around those or lower. Stay tuned for more details.
