From time to time, Apple would induct a device into the Vintage Product List. In this latest add-on, the iPhone 6 Plus will be inducted on 31 December 2021. Just so you know, it has been more than five years since Apple took the iPhone off the shelves.

After their recent launch 2 months ago, Doogee Malaysia have been bringing in various Doogee smartphones like the Doogee X5Max which features a 4000 mAh battery and fingerprint sensor with a metal frame. They've also timed the X5Max in a movie playback battery life test against the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Granted, the iPhone 6 Plus is not the most energy efficient phone out there but do check out the video below for yourself.

We've seen quite a few add-on jelly lens that you can either seal on or clip on to a smartphone but ExoLens takes it a step further by offering a wide-angle, telephoto and macro add on lens using Zeiss optics. Quite obviously, the add-on lenses are much larger than your average jelly lens, but the frame is also suitably larger as well and can be mounted on a standard tripod stand. So far, it is just for the Apple iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 6 and 6 Plus but there are plans for a Samsung Galaxy phone version as well. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but ExoLens should be available in Q2 2016 at $299 (RM1322) for the macro and wide-angle lens or $199 (RM880) for the telephoto lens.

U Mobile recently announced the first of it's kind deal in Malaysia for the Apple iPhone 6 andiPhone 6 Plus. Utilizing a new U Microcredit plan you can now get said smartphone from as low as RM98 a month. This is different from previous Malaysia Telco deals because you are paying more for the phone and not the dual combination of phone and plan. In this case it is more like buying a car than a smartphone with a telco plan. The upside is that there is no deposit and you are no longer tied to the plan and can choose to use a different provider if you choose to do so. There are conditions of course, you have to pay the first monthly installment fee plus a one-time administrative fee and you are tied to the U Microcredit deal for 33 months. There are also data plans as well which are not tied to any contract but you do have to pay the remaining phone price subsidy with no penalty. In addition, using a credit card to pay with auto debit monthly fees will allow you to get no upfront payment benefits. If you sign up on 19 March 2015, you also get unlimited Internet till 31 July 2015 for the i60 and i90 plans and until 30 September 2015 for the i130 plan. Check out the table below for more info:

Just recently, Apple Malaysia raised the local Malaysia pricing for the Apple iPhone 6, Apple iPhone 6 Plus and Apple iPhone 5s. A quick look at the price reveals that the pricing has gone up by about RM150 to RM200 with no difference to tech specs or features. This is probably due to the recent drop in value for the Malaysian Ringgit against the US Dollar which is currently is $1 to RM3.71. The Apple iPhone 5c remains the same though but we don't expect many people to be happy about that either. Hopefully, if the Ringgit goes up within this year, Apple Malaysia will cut the pricing back down but for now, we expect other Malaysia online stores and Malaysian Telcos to follow soon. Check out the complete price increase listing as follows:

• Apple iPhone 6, 16GB storage ~ RM2399 to RM2549
• Apple iPhone 6, 64GB storage ~ RM2749 to RM2949
• Apple iPhone 6, 128GB storage ~ RM3149 to RM3349
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 16GB storage ~ RM2749 to RM2949
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 64GB storage ~ RM3149 to RM3349
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 128GB storage ~ RM3549 to RM3749
• Apple iPhone 5s, 16GB storage ~ RM1999 to RM2149
• Apple iPhone 5s, 32GB storage ~ RM2199 to RM2349
• Apple iPhone 5c, 8GB storage ~ RM1499 (remains the same)

The Huawei Honor 6 Plus made the headlines a few days back with its variable aperture dual rear camera setup. We have already added a few samples from the phone in our previous article and today, we have some more camera samples which are compared with Apple iPhone 6 camera samples. Variable aperture is made possible with the help of the advanced algorithms inside the Honor 6 Plus. Using the feed from both the 8MP rear cameras, the phone lets the user control aperture ranges from f/0.96 to f/16. In the camera menu, there is a slider which changes these aperture levels, even after the image has been captured. The two 8MP symmetrical cameras at the back along with the powerful 3IE algorithm make this all possible. The primary 8MP camera in the setup features auto-focus with f/2.0 aperture and the secondary 8MP has a fixed focus with f/2.4. The primary camera focuses on nearby objects and the secondary fixed-focus camera captures a flat image. With a combination of the two sensors, the Honor 6 Plus offers features such as variable aperture, depth of field and faster HDR. This also helps in better low light performance, which you'll clearly see in the pictures given below.

TENAA is a great place to find upcoming smartphones and the ZTE Q7 mid-range phablet has been seen on this Chinese certification agency's website. From the design shown on the website it looks like the Q7 has taken inspiration from the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. This 5.5inch phablet features a 1.5GHz Mediatek octa-core CPU with 2GB RAM onboard and 16GB ROM. You can further expand this built-in storage via MicroSD expansion slot. Unfortunately, the 5.5inch screen will come with only a 720p resolution which translates into a pixel density of just 267PPI. On the back, there's an 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash. It will run Android 4.4 Kitkat out of the box. The TENAA website reveals that the phone measures 157×78×7.9mm which is around the same size as the iPhone 6 Plus. However, at 7.1mm, the iPhone is much thinner than the Q7. Also, this ZTE model weighs just 160 grams making it much lighter than the iPhone 6 Plus. Unfortunately, ZTE has not yet announced any official details about the device like its pricing and availability, but we don't expect the company to launch the device out of China anytime soon.

While both Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus feature resolutions less than 1920 x 1080 pixels, apparently they may be capable of playing 4K videos. Softorino, a company known for its Mac software called WALTR which helps you upload images and videos on iOS devices, recently discovered that the A8 processor in the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus are capable of playing ultra-high resolution 4K videos. However, you won't be able to enjoy 4K videos on your iPhone 6 anytime soon as the resolution is 1335×750 pixels which is far lower than the 3840×2160 resolution for most 4K videos. These 4K videos also take up a lot of space, on an average 2GB per minute of video, which will decrease the internal storage on your iPhone to a considerable extent. So, even if the iPhone 6 came with a 4K display, it would be impractical to play 4K videos directly from the phone's storage due to its large size. The app makers have made a proof of concept video to show that the iPhone actually plays the 4K resolution video smoothly. Check out their video in this article.
