Samsung Malaysia recently teased a rather familiar image of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids tablet on their Facebook page, which is almost a sure indication that parents in Malaysia may soon have the option to get a kid friendly tablet not made by a toy maker or educational outfit. Originally announced in August 2013, the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids initially had a release for the US, UK, Europe, China and Africa and came with a number of brightly coloured grips, stands and other accessories. Tech specs for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids remains the same and includes:

• 1.2GHz dual-core processor
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB storage + up to 32GB microSD
• 7-inch TFT display (1024 x 600)
• 3MP rear camera + 1.3MP front camera
• 4000 mAh battery
• supports WiFi + Bluetooth 3.0 + USB 2.0 + C Pen stylus
• Android 4.1

While the Samsung NX300M mirrorless smart camera has been available for some time, Samsung recently revealed that it is actually running a camera-based version of their Tizen operating system. The smart camera offers tech specs which include a 20.3MP sensor, 180-degree rotateable display, WiFi and NFC. Apparently Samsung have been quietly releasing Tizen OS based devices to see how the market would react and so far, response has been more or less favourable. The Samsung NX300M is available in South Korea for 890000 won (RM2652) and we should see more such cameras soon as Samsung intend to add on more functionality such as Maps and perhaps navigation. No news on Malaysia release dates or Malaysia pricing but we'll keep you posted as to any new developments.

The LG G Flex is more than just the other only curved screen smartphone currently in existance, it also has a number of other features. According to LG, one of the more innovative ones is the self healing back which LG have demoed with a video showing scratches made on the backside of the chassis disappearing. According to LG, the 6-inch curved display offers a better movie viewing experience similar to that on an IMAX screen as it makes it seem multi-layer instead of just a flat surface. In addition to these two features, LG are also releasing a number of accessories to go with the LG G Flex which includes a Quick Window cover, the Vest casing and various USB OTG cable connectors. Check out the pics and video for yourself in this article.

Nokia has a habit of giving codenames to their upcoming products and devices. A recent leak by serial leaker evleaks shows that Nokia has 5 new codenames coming up in the form of Goldfinger, Moneypenny, Normandy, Phantom and Spinel. Both Goldfinger and Moneypenny are based on James Bond names but there isn't any clue yet which products these codenames are related to. The Spinel codename on the other hand could be related to another metal-clad smartphone or device. For the most part evleaks has been very accurate with all these Nokia codenames, so we should expect another 5 new Nokia devices soon. However, this is still a rumour so do take it with a small pinch of salt.

Lenovo has recently launched the IdeaPad Flex, a dual-mode notebook PC with a 10-point multitouch touchscreen from $680 (RM2173). Like so many other convertible-like notebooks you can flip the hinge about 300 degrees (with the keyboard facing down) to transforem into a tablet with a stand. Tech specs for the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex includes an Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT740M graphics, 14-inch display with 10-point multitouch and 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. The notebook weighs in at 2kg with measurements going at 343 x 250 x 21mm. Other features include a 720p webcam, Dolby certified speakers and a 48Wh battery which according to Lenovo should last for about 6 hours or so. We suspect that this is a lower-end version of the Lenovo Flex 14 which is already available in Malaysia at RM2299 with the same design but with higher-end specs so it shouldn't be that long before a Malaysia release date for this version is announced. There is also a larger 15.6-inch display version called the Lenovo Flex 15.

Quite a lot of people are still waiting for stand-alone smartwatch, or a smartwatch which doesn't need a smartphone to work. While there are other independant developers, Goophone looks to have come out with a stand-alone smartwatch in the form of the Goophone Smartwatch. Featuring a SIM card slot, the Goophone smartwatch comes in 2 versions, one with 3G and one with just 2G. Both are WiFi capable and run on a 1.2GHz dual-core MediaTek processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. Other tech specs include a 1.54-inch display with 240 x 240 pixel resolution along with a 2MP camera, GSM - 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz and WCDMA - 850/1900/2100. At 72 grams and 41.9 x 47.5 x 13.5mm the watch is quite large and follows the slab of touchscreen house of design. While it has windows phone like main interface, the smartwatch is running Android 4.0 and it looks like you can download apps with ease. Both versions are available for pre-order at $299.99 (RM960) for the 3G version and $249.99 (RM800) for the 2G version. According to Goophone the battery life should be about 48 hours on normal use. While there isn't any Malaysia release date, they do have shipping to Malaysia for $29.99 (RM96) with shipping within 5-7 days. Check out the video in the article.

The rumour mill for Apple's next iPhone model or models has kicked up another interesting tidbit. While there are already rumours that a 5-inch Apple iPhone 6 could be on it's way, a published report was noted as saying that there will be 2 such versions, one with a 4.7-inch screen and the other with a 5-inch screen. What makes this even more interesting is that the screens will be curved downward at the edges. Other tech specs and features include sensors which would detect the amount of pressure for each touch so it could differentiate between a heavy or light touch. The report goes on further to state that the 2 new larger display curved screen Apple iPhones could be released in Q3 of 2014 which matches with this year's iPhone launch. As normal of such rumours, do take this with a pinch of salt, especially if you've been secretly hoping for a larger iPhone.

While the Panasonic Toughpad 4K UT-MB5 first came out early in the year back at CES 2013, Panasonic's 20-inch 4K display tablet is finally available for the crazy price of $6000 (RM19179). Since it is aimed at higher-end users like engineers and architects, the price isn't so shocking for that industry but normal consumers can simply marvel at both the tablet and the price tag. For now, tech specs for the Toughpad 4K UT-MB5 tablet includes an IPS Alpha 20-inch display with 3850 x 2560 pixel resolution. This results in a rather low 230 ppi pixel density but you still get eye-popping clarity overall. Other tech specs and features include a 1.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-3437U vPro processor, an NVIDIA GeForce 745M graphics processor with 2GB VRAM, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD storage, 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, US 3.0, SDXC and a 720p front camera. The overall design is rugged in line with the Toughpad range but due to the massive display and demanding hardware, battery life is limited to just 2 hours on a single charge. The tablet will run on Windows 8.1 and Panasonic is currently developing an even more powerful version for 3D modelling and CAD rendering. No details yet on Malaysia release dates or pricing but if you have the money for it, location shouldn't be a problem. Check out the video in this article.

Sony Malaysia have recently sent out invites for an event on 14 November 2013, where they will share news and information regarding the Sony PlayStation 4 game console. Personally, we're expecting big things from the PlayStation 4 and while the press conference most probably is just a teaser to the actual Malaysia launch and release date of the PlayStation 4, Malaysian gamers would do well to stay tuned for that event. As it is, it probably isn't the launch date as previous news has indicated that the Sony PlayStation 4 would get a Malaysia release date sometime in December 2013. Or it could be to tell everyone that the Sony PlayStation 4 or PS4 would be available globally the next day on 15 November 2013, which is the date it is launching in the US. For a refresher, check out the Sony PlayStation 4 videos in this article.

Sony recently announced their DPT-S1 e-ink touchscreen tablet featuring a massive 13.3-inch display for an equally massive 100000 yen (RM3244). The 13.3-inch touchscreen uses an e-ink display with a a resolution of 1200 x 1600. The E Ink Mobius display uses protective film, which according to Sony makes it easier to write on than existing tablets. While the screen is just greyscale with no colours, the tablet itself is just 6.88mm thin and 358 grams. This makes it thinner and lighter than the Apple iPad Air despite it's massive size. However, the DPT-S1 tablet isn't aimed at consumer markets and instead is headed for the enterprise or education fields as a digital paper solution. In these situations they would be ideal for viewing of high-resolution documents or papers and post-editing which could also be useful in legal documentation fields. No news or details on Malaysia release dates but it should be available for other markets from the Japan release date of 3 December 2013.
