Someone has leaked a picture taken from a China Mobile conference revealing that the Samsung Galaxy S7, will be launched in March 2016 according to the schedule. This tally with WSJ’s report, which they also claimed Samsung's next flagship will make its debut on March 2016. 

Aside from that, the picture also revealed the price tag of RMB 3000 (RM1985) above. Price may vary, but this is the closest speculation we have and it seems legitimate. The 2016 Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7, and the Huawei P9 were also reported to be revealed. 

Arguably the thinnest and lightest ENVY notebook computer yet, the new HP ENVY 13 is thinner than the diameter of a dime with a premium metal body and curved profile that looks sleek and stunning. Measuring in at just 1.29cm thin and 1.275kg the ENVY 13 still manages to pack in a large 13.3-inch display in either full HD or QHD while the latest 6th Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processors ensure 10 hour battery life and powerful performance when you need it. 

Great news to Huawei fans! As of 21 December, Huawei Technologies Malaysia have released the much anticipated Huawei Mate S Rose Gold edition for RM2698. It is available in all Huawei authorized retail outlets nationwide right now. 

“Christmas and year end festivities are the perfect time to enjoy the finer things in life, such as the Huawei Mate S. Designed for users who seek style, perfection and functionality in one device, we are happy to introduce the awaited Rose Gold variant of Huawei Mate S. With a design that turns heads and a gorgeous colour from head to toe - truly a novelty in the smartphone market - we think the device will be a perfect choice this holiday season – for yourself and for the special woman in your life!” said Danny Chin, Regional Marketing Director of Consumer Business Group for Huawei.

Celcom recently launched their new FIRST Blue and FIRST Gold Voice and Internet plans featuring up to 4GB free Internet on the Weekends. Designed for Malaysians on the move, both in Social Media and the real world, the FIRST Blue plan offers 2GB free Internet every Saturday and Sunday on top of 2GB monthly Internet and 50 minutes + 50 SMS to all networks. The FIRST Gold plan ups the ante by offering 4GB of free Internet on the weekends on top of 4GB of monthly Internet and 100 minutes + 100 SMS to all networks. You can also sign up for either a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 at RM1838, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ at RM2188 and a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 at RM288.

Just about a month ago, Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd has launched a “You Tweet, We Build” campaign. An innovative #DigiWeWant4G Twitter interaction with the customers, Setia Alam became the first people's network tower as voted by Malaysians.

The #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign is an effort to reach out to Malaysians, giving the power to them by simply nominating their towns to be the next in line to get 4G LTE. All they had to do was tweet the hashtag #DigiWeWant4G followed by the location's name. So as a result, Digi went ahead to plant its 4G LTE network in Setia Alam.

So apparently, the image above appears to be a pair of labels for the Huawei P9. It seems that the P9 will have two camera lens and a flash, but that also means that it could potentially have two versions too which are “LTE” and “DELUX” in the image. 

Aside from that, there are also tech specs leaked from the LTE and DELUX version respectively:-

LTE

• Octa-core CPU, Mali-T880 MP4 GPU and Kirin 950 chipset 
• 4GB RAM
• 5.2-inch AMOLED screen with the possibility of a 1440 x 2560 resolution

DELUX

• Kirin 950 chipset
• 4GB RAM
• 64GB storage (unknown expandable memory)
• 6.2-inch display with a QHD (1440 x 2560) resolution
• Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Coming courtesy of suppliers, this rumour indicates that the upcoming ASUS ZenFone 3smartphones will also come with a fingerprint sensor developed by Elan Microelectronics and Goodix. While no specific Malaysia release dates were mentioned, it will probably be announced sometime in January or February 2015 (probably during one of the earlier expos) with a regional launch in April or May 2016 (like last year for the ZenFone 2). We expect this fingerprint sensor to be one-touch and located on the back along with the rear volume controls. 

Having trouble what to get for your friends and family? Fret not, Huawei is here to help with a “Wei To Christmas Gift Guide” (you see what they did there?). The list below will assist you on which of the devices are suitable for your friends and family, so without further ado...

The annual CES event will kick off early in January next year and Samsung will make an appearance there, events like this is the time when tech companies present their newest flagship but that doesn’t seem to be the case for Samsung.

An announcement from CES revealed that Samsung will be presenting “innovations in TVs and home appliances”, so that means the rumour of the Samsung Galaxy S7 or the new 2016 Galaxy A series (A3, A5, A7 and A9) won’t likely make their debut that early. Howver, let's not rule out that it’s still possible that they will appear in the first half of 2016.
