We got new intel of Xiaomi Mi 5's upcoming reveal date is set for 21 January and sales that will start on 8 February, not only that we also got a leaked image that might be the Mi 5. 

The image leaked was found in Weibo but has been taken down already, the picture shows a black cover version and it could suggest that the device could come in two variants. This black cover also coincide with our previous rumour report last month, which also showed a black “Mi 5” and a similar rectangle home button that we saw in a supposedly leaked Mi 5 video

Just before the weekend last week, Samsung Malaysia Electronics held a 3S Smart Service contest for its service centre (SVCs) and call centre (CCC) staffs nationwide. The 3S represents Samsung’s customer service philosophy and motto, which are speed, solution and satisfaction.

The purpose of the contest was to serve as an ideal platform for customer service officers to improve their customer service skills, product and technical knowledge to continuously strive and to respond to the customers’ needs with top class quality services .

Now that the CES 2016 new has quiet down, Sony decided to tease us on an upcoming pink device yesterday until now on their Instagram page. In just two days (including today), they have posted 6 different pictures already and counting.

We still don’t know which device will be unveiled, it could be either the Xperia Z5 or Xperia C5 series model that were released just last year. We also have another picture (below) which could be part of Sony Xperia C series.

Apart from the usual smartphones, tablets and cameras, another fairly interesting CES 2016 find came with the EHANG 184, the world's first Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV). EHANG usually make quadrocopter drones, and the EHANG 184 is a giant quadrocopter (with 8 motors) that can carry a person (not more than 220 lbs).

In addition, the EHANG 184 flies itself, as it has an onboard autonomous system that lets you select a route with just a tap of the touchscreen. We're not certain how smart the system is though because if you select to land on an uneven mountaintop you may likely have a very big crash and fall but according to EHANG they've focused on absolute safety for the 184.

At CES 2016, TP-Link (makers of mostly routers and other networking products), announced their new TP-Link Neffos smartphones. They consist of the TP-Link Neffos C5, TP-Link Neffos C5 Max and TP-Link Neffos C5L and look a lot like the LG G4. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but they are expected to be released in late Q1 of 2016.
