In the far east side of Asia, a Japanese blog called Mocotakara (which is known for gathering accurate information of past unreleased Apple products) have claimed that Apple is actually thinking of removing the 3.5mm headset jack and replacing it with a Lightning port for headsets for next year’s Apple iPhone 7.

Xpax Fantasy Fest 2015 returned for a second time this year in StarXpo, Kenanga Wholesale City (KWC), Jalan Gelugor for two days on 28 and 29 November. A colourful event filled with cosplay, gaming, comics and more; the event was opened to the public and people were also given a chance to register for Xpax's MAGIC SIM card.

"The festival is an outlet for one to explore and express their creativity, including showcasing their skills in gaming, cosplay and anime. It gives them an opportunity to escape from their daily livs and share their thought and experience with the community. We invite everyone, both existing and new Magic SIM customers to share and experience this unique festival, with only having to purchase or reload with the RM5 starter pack during the event.” said Zalman Aefendy Zainal Abidin, Chief of Sales and Marketing Officer of Celcom Axiata Berhad. 

LEAGOO Malaysia is back with another classic series, the LEAGOO C2. What separates the C2 from the rest like the Elite, Alfa and lead series smartphone is that it was designed for customers who are looking for a secondary or low maintenance easy-to-use device. And it only costs RM69, (wow!)

Featuring a solid body with an LCD colour display and 1.3MP main camera, it supports a microSD card up to 32GB worth of storage too. It also has a Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, which means it is capable of having two SIM cards with only one transceiver, minimizing the troubles of needing to carry multiple phones everywhere. And just like the good old days, the smartphone can last 10 days of heavy usage even though the battery is only 600 mAh.

After a bit of teasing, Huawei Malaysia have sent out the save-the-date notices confirming that yes, the Huawei Nexus 6P is coming to Malaysia and as soon as 8 December 2015 (next week). No official pricing details yet (some say RM2698 but Huawei says to wait and see) but as a refresher, the Nexus 6P features tech specs that include a 2K resolution display, a fingerprint sensor, dual front speakers, USB Type-C ports and a 12.3MP rear camera with super large 1.55-micron pixel Sony sensor that can record 4K video at 30fps. It also comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box. Check out the video below for more recaps.

When the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 was revealed on 24 November, it gained quite a buzz over its mighty 64-bit Intel Atom X5-Z85000 processor with 2GB dual-channel LPDDR3 RAM. Not to mention, the rest of its tech specs are also most impressive. To recap, the device has a 16GB and 64GB internal storage variant, a 7.9-inch IPS display with 2048 x 1536 resolution, 8MP and 5MP for the main and front camera, supports 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity, runs on MIU7 and the battery is 6190 mAh. 

With such immense tech specs for a tablet, the dark grey/champagne gold full metal device easily scored over 85000 points on the AnTuTu benchmark. This makes the Mi Pad 2 one of the highest performing tablets (using Android), landing it in third placing just behind smartphones like the Huawei Mate 8 and Meizu Pro 5.

The ASUS ZenFone Selfie and ZenFone 2 Laser both utilize a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and in a recent promo video are apparently sushi-proof. The video shows Thai sushi chefs using the ZenFone 2 Laser display as a chopping board. You can check out the video for yourself below but for a closer look at all of the other high-end features and tech specs like laser auto-focus and 13MP cameras do check out our ASUS ZenFone Selfie review and ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser review.

Some time ago, in a “galaxy” that is not too far from the Internet, someone managed to screenshot some tidbits of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A5 sequel. Reading the coding in the image above, it seems that it retains most of the same number of pixels from its previous incarnation, mostly because of the 720p resolution listed there.

The fifth Vivo teaser in the Vivo teasing saga, seems to have confirmed the existence of the MediaTek Helio X20 chipset in the upcoming Vivo X6 and Vivo X6 Plus. It’s most likely a deca-core MT6797 SoC, if it tallies right with our previous article then both the normal and plus version will be equipped with it as well.

Besides that, the new teaser also confirms it will support 4G LTE connectivity. The new TENAA list is on par with our previous TENAA report, which states the device will be powered by a huge 4GB RAM with an updated 64GB internal storage (as opposed to the previous 32GB), the screen will be 5.77-inch with 1440 x 2560 resolution, which should fit nicely for the 21MP main camera and the 12MP front camera, and a big battery capacity of 4000 mAh.
