Have you ever wondered what would a Huawei laptop be like? Maybe it has never crossed your mind because Huawei only manufactures smartphones and tablets, but there's a rumour going around online that Huawei is actually working on a new laptop that can operate on Windows and Android.

This information is new to us, so tech specifications are non-existence at the moment.

That could be pretty cool and stand out from other laptops if it was true.

Today, Logitech has started their new year campaign “Be Free” and “Save the Couch Potato” tagline with their latest devices – the  Logitech K480 (RM142 to RM199), Logitech K380 (RM129),Logitech M337 (RM109), and Logitech K400 Plus (RM159).

According to Venture Beat, reports are claiming that Huawei has plans for the upcoming P9 smartphone to be released in four variants – the normal P9 type, a P9 lite, a P9max, and another unknown advanced P9 in the making.

The fourth unknown advanced Huawei P9 could be a “feature-enhanced” model, equipped with a larger screen display but slightly smaller than the P9max. What's more, the enhanced P9 edition could also have better RAM and more storage space, and a rumoured dual-lens 12MP rear camera. Besides that, the normal P9 is expected to carrying a 5.2-inch display and we can bet the P9max should be over 6-inch just like the P8max.

The Samsung Galaxy J5 was released in Malaysia just last year August and it proved to be quite popular for customers who were looking for a good affordable smartphone. We just got word that a newer Galaxy J5 (2016) version has been tested on GFXBench, and the tech specs looks pretty good.

From the image above, the device is an improvement from its predecessor. The only thing that didn't change is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset + 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, the camera sensor has also dropped to 12MP from 13MP (which is quite surprising). 

As mentioned in our last LG G5 post, LG will make an appearance at the MWC 2016 next month to go head on with Samsung and Sony. We have already showed you how the render might look like based on the eyewitness testimony, now there's another one leaked in the internet and it looks quite similar to the previous render.

It's reported that the G5 is probably going full metal, the four corners are curved and the volume buttons are placed on the left just like the first render. What's interesting to note that, the power button is actually placed at the bottom along with the speaker, while the headphone jack remains at the top. The device will have a fingerprint sensor on the back too.
