Currently the only smartphone in the world with 4GB RAM remains the ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML. Featuring a 64-bit 2.3-GHZ quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor and high-end PowerVR Rogue G6430 graphics, quite a lot of people have been interested to see how it performs on the benchmarks. This was on top of earlier benchmarks with the ZenFone 2 ZE550CL which earlier scored 50000+ on AnTuTu. Thankfully, someone has come out with a number of benchmarks and unboxing photos. Unfortunately, it seems to be lower with a score of 47434. However, there could be a reason for this as other benchmarks like 3DMark and Geekbench report very high scores. We assume that the AnTuTu benchmark needs to be updated to run 4GB of RAM tests first before the true potential of the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML can be drawn out. Since Geekbench 3 is already cross platform it doesn't need to be optimized, resulting in a 912 single-core score and 2946 multi-core score places it on par with theSamsung Galaxy Note 3 and beating the Samsung Galaxy S5. We'll know more when we get a turn at the ASUS ZenFone 2 smartphones, so please wait patiently for the expected release in April 2015.

Just a few years ago a midrange smartphone would be a rather slow device with equally slow mobile Internet, a 4-inch display, 5MP camera and a price tag well above RM1000. Fast forward to today in 2015 where we were privileged enough to get some preview time with the up and coming Honor 4X which sports a fast 64-bit processor, 4G LTE connectivity, 13MP camera and 5.5-inch display for well below RM1000. The smartphone landscape is rapidly changing as more higher-end features appear in affordable devices for the masses. The Honor 4X may well be one of these devices. As such we're doing a quick preview of the Honor 4X so do read on to find out more.

When the Xiaomi Redmi 1S first arrived in Malaysia it really stirred up the market by delivering a 4.7-inch display smartphone with good features at very good value.

Does the Redmi 2 manage to improve on things from it's Redmi 1S predecessor? Check out our full review of the Xiaomi Redmi 2 below to find out. Updated: Includes Xiaomi Malaysia Redmi 2 smartphone. 

Drones are quickly becoming big in the news as more and more people get to using these remote controlled quadrocopters here in Malaysia.

The first smartwatches to come out often looked like thick squarish slabs of touchscreen on a strap. They offered limited usability as companion devices to your smartphone or mobile device and couldn't do much on their own. The Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch changed all that by by being the first round smartwatch and now, there are many other round smartwatches as well. Motorola went on to claim that the Moto 360 would actually look and feel like existing watches. Did they manage to do that and still deliver an awesome smartwatch experience? We find out in the full review of the Motorola Moto 360 in this article.

As we near the regional launch time of the ASUS ZenFone 2, it remains the only smartphone to pack in 4GB of RAM. While we have yet to see any benchmarks of the 4GB RAM ASUS ZenFone 2, the 2GB RAM version was recently benchmarked with a massive score of 50401 on AnTuTu. This is higher than previous powerhouse Android smartphones but not as high as an NVIDIA Tegra X1 powered device. The benchmark confirmed tech specs like a 64-bit 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor and PowerVR Rogue G6430 graphics but showed that this could be the 5-inch display version as it only had 2GB of RAM and a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. There are versions with a 5.5-inch display and 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution along with other tech specs like a 13MP rear camera. Malaysia pricing and release dates have not been confirmed yet but pre-orders have revealed that the 2GB RAM version could go for $299 (RM1076) while the 4GB RAM version may be offered at $439 (RM1580). The 5-inch version is expected to go for $199 (RM717) which should make quite a few users happier due to the very high AnTuTu score above. We expect the larger and higher resolution display to weigh down the AnTuTu score somewhat but the 4GB RAM should offer a bit more of a boost than the 2GB version. The ASUS ZenFone 2 is expected to arrive sometime in March or April 2015.
