It wasn’t long ago that Sony released the Sony Xperia Z5 series in Malaysia just barely 2 months ago, now we’re already getting rumour reports that the Sony Xperia Z6 is already on the way...well according to AnTuTu. 

So according the them, Sony is planning to release 5 brand new Xperia Z6 series next year. One device will have a 5.2-inch screen, another 4-inch screen device could be the Xperia Z6 mini, an Xperia Z6 compact version with a 4.6-inch display, a 5.8-inch screen Xperia Z6 Plus, and lastly a humongous 6.4-inch display Xperia Z6 Ultra. 

After countless rumours on the next-generation of Samsung Galaxy A series, Samsung Electronics dropped the bomb by announcing the latest Galaxy A smartphones for 2016 (finally) with the Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016), Galaxy A5 (2016) and Galaxy A7 (2016). The new Galaxy A series will offer premium designs, easy mobile payment technology and improved camera features. 

On 2 December, Celcom Axiata Berhad won three awards from two well-known tech publications - PC.com and Hardwarezone.com, consecutively in the same week from their year-long effort on customer service and providing the best user experience.

This marks Celcom’s second successive win in two years, for winning Best Telco Brand 2015 at the HWM+HardwareZone.com Tech Awards 2015; and getting two more surprises at the PC.com Readers’ Choice Awards Night 2015 with Best Customer Service for Telecommunications and Best Post-paid Service Provider. 

Words got out from TENAA that both Lenovo K32C36 (Lenovo P1 Mini codename) and SM-A5100 (Samsung Galaxy A5’s successor) have passed and got certified. While we didn’t really get the full tech specs, but at least the important ones are listed in this article.

We've been waiting for the ASUS ZenFone Zoom for a while now and it looks like the rollout has begun with the official release of the ASUS ZenFone Zoom ZX551ML in Taiwan. So far, 2 versions have been released at 13990 TWD (RM1809) for the 64GB storage version with a 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 processor while the 128GB storage and 2.5GHz Intel Atom Z3590 processor version is going for 15990 TWD (RM2067). A new addition looks to be an artificial back as well which you can see on the ASUS Taiwan site.

Our initial hands-on pics of the ZenFone Zoom had it with plastic back but the rounded metal frame and all the other features remain the same. These include the signature 13MP rear camera with 3X optical zoom, laser auto focus, optical image stabilization and dual LED flash. Other tech specs include a 5.5.5-inch FHD display, 4GB RAM, Android Lollipop, 4G LTE and a 3000 mAh battery. No specific Malaysia release dates yet but earlier reports have the ZenFone Zoom coming to Malaysia this month with the ZenFone Max.

About a month ago, we covered that Apple could be working on a 4-inch Apple iPhone powered by an A9 chip and 3GB RAM early next year. The rumour is quite shady on this, but according to a Chinese website Techweb they claimed that the "iPhone 6c" could be made of metal, has a fingerprint sensor on it and does not feature 3D Touch. 

This actually tallies well with the previous speculation, as the sources are from anonymous “Foxconn insiders” stating that Apple might reveal the device in January then going on retail sale the month after that. It could also cost between $400 - $500 (around RM1690 - RM2112) since theiPhone 5c 16GB model started at $549 (RM2319.66). 

Just when you thought Vivo are done showcasing their latest products after Vivo X6 and Vivo X6 Plus, Vivo Y51 silently sneaked into Vivo’s website making itself official out of nowhere. Anyway, check out the tech specs according to the website in this article.

Do you remember the last time a smartphone that looks like the Apple iPhone 6? That’d be the HTC One A9 that we covered previously. Of course, HTC isn’t the only one doing that and we found others too that looks even more painfully obvious to the iPhone models. Here are the models that we think looks like an Apple iPhone clone that most people have never heard of in no particular order:-

Criteria - 1) Not affiliated with Apple 2) Design model similarities 3) Back cover doesn't count

Hey U Mobile users, you are all getting a free 1GB from the company as a year end bonus! Yes that’s right, F-R-E-E. No cost, free of charge, and you don’t even need to do anything at all.

But hold your horses, there are some requirements though...
