Today Samsung has officially announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2019 10.1, Galaxy Tab A 2019, as well as the Galaxy Tab S5e from the price of RM899, RM1099, and RM1999 respectively. The tablets mentioned in marketed towards several different needs be it for work, home, or even for leisure.

Ahead of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 series launch (which we are covering on site, so stay tuned for that), Samsung officially launched their premium Galaxy Tab S5e and affordable Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) tablets. Offering a much thinner 5.5mm thin metal body with 10.5-inch 2K Super AMOLED display, up to 6GB of RAM, quad speakers, AKG + Dolby Atmos audio and a 7040 mAh battery the Galaxy Tab S5e starts from $399.99 (~RM1630). It is expected to arrive in Q2 2019 but considering the state of Malaysia's tablet market, we're not sure if it will make it at all. It will support Samsung DeX and have a keyboard accessory though, so we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung Malaysia brings it in as a premium executive device.

After dropping the bundle pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S5 down to RM1199 with the Raya for Gaya promotion, Maxis are now offering a trade-in program as well for the Galaxy S5. Like the Apple iPhone 5S trade-in program, you can trade-in any phone but certain smartphones will get better discounts. The highest discount is with the Apple iPhone 5 which gives you a discount of RM1000, effectively lowering the price down to RM199. As usual, the offer is only valid for a 24-month contract and up until 31 August 2014 but for more details check the table and links in this article.

In accordance with the retail price drop of the Samsung Galaxy S5 from RM2399 to RM2149, Maxis are now offering the smartphone at lower priced bundle deals. While you do get the smartphone under the new MaxisONE plans, you still have to sign up for a 24-month contract. Add the current "Raya Dengan Gaya" promotional discount and you can now get the Samsung Galaxy S5 from as low as RM1199. For more details check out the table and links in this article.

South Korean Media reports have the rumoured Samsung Galaxy S5 Alpha or Galaxy F smartphone coming with a 6mm-thin metal body along with a 4.7-inch screen. This comes from reports calling the smartphone a "card phone" in reference to the slimness of the device. Both new tech specs are different from previously expected tech specs as we thought it would come with a 5.2-inch display and be about as thick as the previous Samsung Galaxy S5 (which is about 8.1mm). Reports also indicate that it will use a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor, but then, Samsung has been known to offer models with different processors before. No details on Malaysia release dates or pricing but as always do take these rumours with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates.

Samsung recently announced the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini. Confirming many of the rumoured tech specs and features, the new mini version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 will have IP67 water and dust resistance certification, a heart rate monitor and fingerprint scanner. It will retain the same perforated backside and chrome siding while other notable tech specs and features also include:

• 1.4gHz quad-core processor
• 1.5GB RAM
• 16GB Memory + up to 64GB microSD
• 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display (720 x 1280 pixel resolution)
• 8MP rear camera (LED flash, autofocus) +2.1MP front camera
• Supports 4G LTE, 3G, Wifi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS
• 131.1 x 64.8 x 9.1mm | 120g
• 2100 mAh battery
• Android 4.4 KitKat

Samsung does it again with the release of the more powerful LTE-A powered Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A. Having done the exact same thing with the previous Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+, the newly announced Galaxy S5 LTE-A is the more powerful version of the flagship smartphone with tech specs that include a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, 16MP ISOCELL camera, fingerprint sensor, hearbeat monitor, LTE-A support and 2800 mAh battery. The smartphone is still IP 67 certified for dust and water resistance but doesn't hit the top speed of 300Mbps for LTE-A. Instead, it goes for just 225 Mbps which is still blazingly fast compared to the rest of us.

Samsung Malaysia is bringing the Samsung Galaxy 11 World Tour to Malaysia from 13 June 2014 to 22 June 2014. The showcase will offer users a close encounter with the Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Gear 2 and Gear Fit devices with various activities to be held at the Orange Concourse in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall. According to Samsung Malaysia, the Galaxy 11 World Tour takes place in only 10 countries of the world, with Malaysia being one of them. Users will also get the opportunity to trade in any pre-owned mobile phone for a brand new GALAXY S5. A cash voucher equal to the value of the pre-owned mobile phone will be given along with an additional RM200 voucher for massive value.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini rumoured to be based on the Samsung Galaxy S5 recently made an appearance next to the Galaxy S5. The pics don't reveal much more than what we already know, that the Galaxy S5 mini is likely to be just as water resistant as the Galaxy S5 and that it will feature the same perforated design as before. However, the pics do come with benchmarks from AnTuTu, which show the Galaxy S5 mini getting an AnTuTu score of 18405. It also reveals tech specs such as a 1.4GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos 3470 processor, 1.5GB RAM, 16GB storage, 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front camera and a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 720p pixel resolution. The phone is also set to come with a fingerprint scanner, heartrate sensor and 4G LTE. No news yet on Malaysia pricing or release dates though.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active has been officially announced for the AT&T telco in the US. While it does look different from the Samsung Galaxy S5 with it's rugged looking backside and physical buttons below the touchscreen display, it turns out that it carries the same IP67 water and dust resistance certification as the Galaxy S5. Tech specs and features for the Samsung Galaxy S5 active include a 2.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 11GB storage, 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution, 16MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, 2800 mAh battery and Android 4.4.2. While there is a military theme going on, we can't confirm that it actually has military grade shock proofing and since it is made for AT&T there's practically no hope that we'll see it appear in Malaysia any time soon.
