We've already heard plenty of Apple rumours about the “iPhone 5se” and iPad Air 3 over a couple of weeks, but we got some worthy insider information from Bloomberg confirming the devices' key processor details.

According to Johny Srouji, Apple's SVP of Hardware Technologies who oversees Apple's chip development, both devices will use Apple's latest chip technologies. The iPhone 5se will be equipping the same A9 processor from the iPhone 6s, whereas the iPad Air 3 will feature the A9X processor that was first used in the iPad Pro. It should be noted that this is the first time that the Air 3 will feature a processor from many previous rumours, so Bloomberg's information should be worth highlighting.

A teaser poster by Vivo appeared yesterday hinting a new device called the “Xplay 5S” will come soon, well, turns out that's only half-true because Vivo just released another teaser poster confirming the actual name – Vivo Xplay 5, along with an important feature too.

The first feature that the company wanted to highlight is the dual curved screens, which appeared in yesterday’s teaser poster actually. It actually seem like it's from the top of the device only but at least we now know that the device itself will come with a borderless design. Since that's the case, that will make Vivo the second company to use a curved screen panel aside from Samsung.

We all know Xiaomi 5 will make its debut in MWC 2016 at Barcelona and China at the same time on 24 February, while we are just a week away, someone was kind enough to grab some presentation slides of the device revealing official tech specs. 

Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) rumours have appeared a couple of times already, it was only a matter o time that it gets certified officially and certified it did by the FCC. 

One of the few tech specs that has been confirmed is the battery with 3300 mAh, it will also sport a Supoer AMOLED 1080p resolution, a 13MP rear camera and a dual SIM slot as well. The RAM however, is not that clear yet as it could carry either a 3GB or 2GB RAM. And in the previous benchmark score, the device was tested in both Exynos and Snapdragon. 

Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Vivo has released a teaser poster hinting a new product - Vivo XPlay 5S is coming soon in the next few weeks or months. Not only that, we also got to see some tech specs from the AnTuTu benchmark scores. 

The Moto 360 2nd Gen smartwatch is coming to Malaysia tomorrow, and the first 100 to line up at Centre Court, Mid Valley Megamall at 12.30pm may get to buy the 42mm Black Edition Moto 360 on discount. The first 50 will receive 50% off, the next 30 will receive 30% off while the last 20 will get 20% off. While there are still no official Malaysia pricing details, the 42mm Moto 360 2nd Gen smartwatch is currently going for RM1411 on Lazada, so we're guessing a price tag around RM1399.
