These days many of the newer speakers come equipped with Bluetooth or some other form of wireless communication so that your smartphone or other Bluetooth capable devices can stream music and the like to your speakers. However, many still do not have that option, which is where extra peripherals like the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter come in. These devices are designed to enable Bluetooth connectivity on speakers or other AV equipment that don't have that functionality built in. Does the Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter deliver the streaming quality audio that you need? Find out in our review.

Most flagship smartphones these days feature a premium full metal unibody chassis or frame with classy looks and a price tag around at least RM2K or more. They usually come with excellent design, one-of-a-kind features and top-notch tech specs. In terms of features alone, the P8 is no exception with a unique 13MP RGBW rear camera and more. The Huawei P8 aims to deliver all of the above except for the pricing as it is currently available here in Malaysia for just RM1799. Does it actually deliver flagship features, design and performance for a midrange price tag? We find out for sure in our full review of the Huawei P8 below.

The ASUS ZenFone 2 is one of those smartphones which offers near the best in performance per value but one of the major detractors for it is it's low battery life. For the most part, this is because users are not utilizing all of the battery life saving functions and features available on the ZenFone 2. In this article we go through 10 helpful tips to increase energy efficiency and lengthen battery life even longer than before on your ASUS ZenFone 2 smartphone. Check them out for yourself in this article or see what we found out in our ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML review.

Bloatware are typically apps that come pre-installed or with an official update for your smartphone or device that you do not actually need. Most of the time these bloatware apps are treated as system apps and can't be removed or uninstalled. The best thing you could do previously was to turn off notifications and disable it. For a while now, even the ASUS ZenUI packed on a good deal of bloatware, but with recent updates you can now remove said bloatware completely. To do that go to Apps and tap on the Uninstall Updates button. After tapping OK, a second dialog box will appear asking if you want to uninstall the app. Click OK and that resource draining sucker is gone! Bear in mind that this could be applicable for ASUS devices that have had the latest updates and so far it works on the ASUS ZenFone 2 and ASUS Fonepad 7 which have received their latest updates. You still can't delete everything though as some apps are considered non-removable for certain reasons. In any case, this is a great first step by ASUS and should make it even more popular, especially those who have been itching to remove a bloatware app in particular.

The successor to the Huawei TalkBand B1, the Huawei TalkBand B2 is finally here and we have to admit that we're quite excited about it. While there are many smartbands out there, the Huawei TalkBand smartbands are the only ones that can be detached and transformed into Bluetooth headsets. In addition, the new TalkBand B2 also offers a more premium design with brushed metal highlights, metal construction and slimmer yet sleeker design. Check out our unboxing video to see what else comes in the box with the Huawei TalkBand B2.

The OPPO R7 Plus was recently launched in Malaysia yesterday at a rather high price of RM1998. Despite the flagship-level pricing it shares similar features with some other recently launched smartphones. These features include a full metal body, fingerprint scanner, laser autofocus and dual SIM 4G LTE which can also be found in the Huawei Honor 7 and Meizu MX5. Granted, it's 6-inch display is the largest of the three and it packs in 32GB of storage, but the larger size does mean that the R7 Plus is also the heaviest at 203g. Both the Honor 7 and Meizu MX5 are lighter and in the case of the Meizu MX5 thinner as well. Technically, none of the three are currently available but the OPPO R7 Plus is coming on pre-order for 11 July 2015 in the next few days. Price-wise the Meizu MX5 beats them all with 1800CNY (RM1081) but this is for the 16GB storage version. Strangely enough, the most expensive OPPO R7 Plus packs in the least powerful processor with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, a processor that we see more often in midrange offerings. Check out the full tech specs comparison between the OPPO R7 Plus vs Honor 7 vs Meizu MX5 for yourself or check out our other comparisons in this article.

Announced at around the same time, the Huawei Honor 7 and Meizu MX5 share a number of similar features such as an all metal body, more than 5-inch sized full HD display, fingerprint scanner and 20MP rear cameras. Neither are currently available here in Malaysia yet but at 1800 CNY (RM1081) the Meizu MX5 is priced lower than Honor 7 which is going for 1999 CNY (RM1214). The Honor 7 is more compact due to its 5.2-inch display but the Meizu MX5 is thinner at 7.6mm and lighter at 149g despite the larger 5.5-inch display. Both come packing with the latest 64-bit processors, the Honor 7 with a HiSilicon Kirin 935 while the Meizu MX5 comes with a MediaTek MT6795 Helio processor.

The Honor 7 ups the Meizu MX5 with an 8MP front camera but the MX5 has a slightly higher 20.7MP rear camera compared to the 20MP rear camera on the Honor 7. The Honor 7 rear camera uses phase detection autofocus while the Meizu MX5 uses a laser autofocus. Which autofocus is better? Well, the debate on that still hasn't quieted down yet, especially if Huawei uses newer algorithms and sensors like in the Samsung Galaxy S6 which also uses phase detection autofocus. So far, there are still no details yet on which will be coming to Malaysia first, but both have a presence here so we would say in the coming months.
