Previously, we reported that all six telcos in Malaysia have agreed to the Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) 5G service agreement prior to its deadline of 30 June 2022. Now, it looks like our country can finally move forward and have 5G connectivity accessible to the masses as the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) said that the 5G service will rollout by September 2022 at the latest.

The Minister of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM), Tan Sri Annuar Musa has recently revealed that new initiatives are currently in the works by his ministry to improve our country’s broadband services. Furthermore, Annuar revealed that the initiatives will be announced by him soon.

Previously, we reported that a 5G version of the popular Samsung Galaxy A23 may be set for launch soon as various leaks and alleged renders of the device has surfaced online. Now, it seems that the smartphone is closer to release as it was spotted on a Geekbench 5 listing, which even revealed some of its specs.

Yes, we are as surprised as you are. In this latest global 5G experience report by Opensignal, Malaysia is actually one of the top rankings in three 5G speed categories, as well as 5G Games Experience. As many of you should know, 5G is still rolling out and not available in many states at all.

At the recent World Economic Forum 2022 (WEF 2022), Nokia's CEO claimed that 6G could be available as early as 2030 and that it could make smartphones obsolete. That got many people thinking, "What device could take the place of this incredibly useful gadget?" Lundmark says smart glasses could replace them, and I'm inclined to agree.

As Digital Nasion Berhad (DNB) continues to build up its portfolio of 5G-enabled smartphones, the latest news just came in a few hours ago that three new devices are now compatible. From its Facebook announcement, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3, Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 and the OPPO A77 5G can now go online in 5G.

The Penang State Government has reiterated that the state is ready for 5G connectivity rollout this year. In fact, the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Pulau Pinang, Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak even recently lauded the state’s telecommunications capabilities, saying that Penang is the second best state in Malaysia in terms of broadband coverage.

Celcom Axiata Bhd will do its best to meet the deadline with Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) on the 5G network service agreement in Malaysia. Previously, we reported that K-KOMM has given telco companies until 30 June 2022 to finalise the agreement with DNB.

Yes has introduced new plans that aim to make 5G more accessible for customers by adjusting the price to just RM0.30 per GB. It's claimed that these plans are even cheaper than the 4G market standard. Now, let's look at the details, and you can decide if they're that "cheap"!

Update: U Mobile's PR agency has reached out to us and confirmed that the company has not signed on to anything.

Just last night, U Mobile seemingly just went live with its 5G promotion page. Yes, it's past tense because the page is no longer available this morning but this caught our attention enough.
