We know Samsung is going to be at MWC 2017, but they probably won’t be showing off the Galaxy S8, but reports have come in and said Samsung will instead be showcasing their AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality). Developed by Samsung C-Labs, there are four projects in total which follows Relúm?no, Monitorless, VuildUs, and traVRer.

According to Mr Anonymous, the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro has unveiled its price tag which is RM2299. This indicates that the device will be launching sooner than we thought, the exact date is still unknown yet but it's said to arrive on Malaysian shores in early March.

There are a few leaked images and render concepts of the Samsung Galaxy S8 for the past few weeks already, but nothing quite like the latest one that we are about to show you. In this rumour news, we have a “first look” at the device which could be the Galaxy S8 or the S8 Plus itself.

The Honor 8 Lite was announced alongside the Honor V9 in China today. If it might look rather familiar, that's probably because it had been introduced in a multitude of other names, which includes the Huawei P8 Lite (2017), as well as Huawei Nova Lite.

WhatsApp recently revealed that the next update for the chat messaging app could allow you to put up a video or photo status instead of the usual available or busy text-only status. These images or videos are still encrypted and visible to your contacts only and is in conjunction with 24 February 2017, which is WhatsApp's 8th birthday. As of the time of writing, our own WhatsApp is still the text-only version but the update is still rolling out, so keep calm and get ready to post your next gym photo as your WhatsApp status.

While Samsung might have had to deal with the disastrous Galaxy Note 7 fiasco last year, where ill-fated devices were plagued by explosions due to manufacturing and design defects in the battery, it seems that some news have surfaced that they are considering selling refurbished sets of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in developing countries.

The refurbished Galaxy Note 7 sets will allegedly carry a smaller battery, 3000mAh to 3200mAh, (down from the original 3500mAh), and would be available as soon as June 2017 in emerging markets like India and Vietnam.

Today, the Honor announced in China the new Honor V9, alongside the Honor 8 Lite. With specs rivalling that of the Huawei Mate 9, it comes at a lower price, but, not without some cut-down specifications, such as retaining last year’s dual 12MP rear camera instead of the newer 20MP+12MP combo.

Prices start from 2599 Yuan (around RM1685) for the 4GB/64GB upwards to 3499 Yuan (around RM2266) for the top end 6GB/128GB model.

News alert, according to Japanese website Mac Otakara, Apple will have an event showcasing a new iPad Pro line-up and a set of colours for the iPhone SE.

Nothing is much known about Motorola’s plans in MWC 2017, but there is a strong hint that the Moto G5 and G5 Plus will be unveiled there, and so far we haven’t got any leaked pictures of the devices too…until today that is.

Just last Friday, a mysterious “Cloud 9” Exynos was teased by Samsung and even hinted that it’s “coming soon”. From this, we can take a wild guess that it could make its debut at MWC 2017 and it’s definitely a new upcoming 9-series from the Exynos line.
