Every year, Samsung launches a new flagship Exynos chipset and many would wonder "Is this the year?" We don't know if the Exynos 2400 is 'it' quite yet. But Samsung clearly isn't giving up on developing Exynos chips because the Exynos 2500 is already in the works.

Nokia India quietly released their Nokia C12 Pro today too for the entry-level. Featuring a Unisoc 9863A1 chipset, 2GB RAM / 3GB RAM, 64GB storage and a 4000 mAh battery, the 2GB RAM variant goes for 6999 INR (~RM378) while the 3GB RAM variant is priced at 7499 INR (~RM405). 

Back in MWC 2022 a few months ago, Qualcomm introduced the next generation of WiFi 7 connectivity. The company released more details today, namely four new Qualcomm Networking Pro Series platforms, namely the 1620, 1220, 820 and 620 models. Here's more detail about the technology.

As 3G continues to shut down to make way for 5G, there is a new announcement by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) about the progress. In line with the National Digital Network Plan (JENDELA), the initial sunsetting for 3G in December 2021 has been extended to the end of March 2022.

By now, some of you have heard the news of 3G services shutting down. Maxis has already begun the process and soon it will be Digi's turn. According to the schedule, it will begin from December 2021 onwards in different states with a different timeslot.

Last month, Maxis announced that it's helping Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) implement a 5G network in KLIA. Local telco companies are working hard on developing 5G in Malaysia, which means that 4G coverage and speed has to keep up to be a reliable backup. It also means that they're starting to consider shutting down older networks.

OPPO Malaysia has officially announced that they will be launching the OPPO A16 smartphone at the price of RM549, which will be available starting from 19 August 2021 onwards. Those who purchased the aforementioned device can be purchased from either OPPO’s Online Store or OPPO’s official Shopee store from 19 August until 26 August 2021 will get a discounted price of RM529.

If you recall, our Prime Minister Muhyiddin announced that 5G connectivity will be ready by the end of 2021. While the tech community are taking it with a dose of salt, it is quite evident that 3G is phasing out as both Celcom and unifi will shut it down gradually. That said, there are still plenty of 3G-only users especially in the rural areas of Malaysia.

If Qualcomm continues the tradition, we might very well see a Snapdragon 888+ (or Snapdragon 888 Pro) chipset this year. There is some new evidence that that the company is already testing it, appearing on Geekbench 5 which may be the said new chipset.
