Do you own an Apple iPhone 6s and love going on an adventure? Well you’re in luck, LifeProof(the no.1 selling waterproof case company in the USA) is offering Malaysians the LifeProof FR? for the iPhone 6s. This means regardless of dirt, sand, water, rocks and other environmental hazards, the case will protect your iPhone 6s from those at all cost.

Xiaomi recently announced only their second made-in-India device with the Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime for INR8499 (RM547). Following the Redmi Note design with a shinier plastic backplate, the Redmi Note Prime offers the following tech specs and features:

• 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB Storage + microSD

So according to the Wall Street Journal, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are to be released early next year and will feature a pressure-sensitive display on their new device. If you think the feature sounds familiar, it is...because it’s basically like a 3D Touch from the Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the Huawei Mate S. 

If this is true, then the reason why Samsung is doing so is to compete with Apple next year. As you may be aware, rumours have it that Apple is planning the “iPhone 6c” along with the second generation of Apple Watch some time in March. Whereas Samsung could announce the new Galaxy series at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona around February.

Well well well, this is a surprise. Seems like the Samsung Galaxy A9(2016) will be joining the new 2016 Galaxy family in line with the Galaxy A3 (2016), A5 (2016) and A7 (2016). The device will be built fullmetal along with dual 2.5D glass panels, not forgetting some new pictures were released from a China website including the following tech specs:-

Are you excited for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S7? well, we managed to dig up some leaked image goodies for you fans. The leaked pictures are of course from none other than Weibo, but the post has been taken down already. Anyway, check them out in this article!

Just last week, we got a render image of the Xiaomi Mi 5 with some speculated tech specs. Now we have another new one, and this one a more authentic and clearer version. 

So looking at the pictures and based on our previous tech specs report, the Mi 5 display is around 5-inch instead of 5.2-inch and will have rounded corners too. The physical home button is also there, which we expect to have new fingerprint sensor unless it goes on the back like the Redmi Note 3. The device is also coated in full metal instead of the usual plastic cover from Xiaomi.

Images of the Microsoft Lumia 850, also code name Honjo were leaked online from @evleaks in China during the weekends showing us there could be four different colour options for the device - white gold, rose gold, black and plain steel colour.

Also according to rumours, the Lumia 850 might have tech specs that include a Snapdragon 410 or 617 chipset, 1GB RAM, 5-inch or 5.7-inch Full HD panel display and a 10MP PureView-branded camera. This suggests that the device will be in mid-range class.
