We take the Apple iPhone 6 out for a spin today with a hands-on video and a gaming demo of Asphalt 8:Airborne. The 4.7-inch display iPhone 6 is a surprisingly thin 6.9mm with a mostly metal body. Featuring the new A8 processor from Apple it should offer graphics and gaming performance better than the previous iPhone. We try this out in our hands-on video which you can check out for yourself in this article.

The Apple iPhone 6 remains one of the worlds most wanted smartphones even here in Malaysia. The 6.9mm thin smartphone is also one of the first Apple smartphones to have a display larger than 4-inches with features and tech specs on par with any other flagship smartphone. If you've been wondering what the Malaysia local priced version will get you then check out our unboxing video of the 64GB Apple iPhone 6. As expected of such a premium device, the insides are also fairly premium but do check out our unboxing video for yourself in this article.

The nearly bezel-free Huawei Ascend Mate 7 smartphone is the latest flagship smartphone from Huawei and it has just reached Malaysian shores. Thanks to Huawei Malaysia we were able to get some hands-on time with it. At first glance, it seems like the Ascend Mate7 has nearly no bezels for an edge-to-edge touchscreen experience with it's 6-inch full HD 1080p display. Unlike the previous flat and thin Ascend P7, the back feels more rounded, providing a more comfortable grip. Trying out the single-touch fingerprint sensor on the back, we found it to work fairly well, about as fast as the single-touch Touch ID fingerprint scanner on the Apple iPhone 5S and upwards. The overall look for the Ascend Mate7 is very premium with most of the body made up of a shiny aluminum alloy. Huawei Malaysia expect the standard 2GB RAM with 16GB storage version to arrive on 14 November 2014 for RM1799 but do check out our first look photos in this article.

The new ASUS Fonepad 8 FE380CG is one of ASUS new wave of 64-bit Intel Atom processor powered Android tablets.
