News & Reviews:   Android One

Can you believe that it's already July? We are now entering the second half of 2019 and...there isn't a lot going on except for many 7.7 sales, especially on Shopee's platform. Aside from that, another worthy sale promotion that's going on is Huawei's Online IT Fair which is offering a 2-year warranty and up to RM400 discount on its mobile phones now, Samsung is also teaming up with MBO offering Malaysians a Buy 1 Free 1 promo for movie fans, and the Galaxy Note 10 will officially be UNPACKED on 7 August 2019. 

So....yeah I think I'm talking here. Told you there isn't much going on haha. Anyway, the most exciting part is probably looking out for sales on Shopee's 7.7 Orange Madness campaign so do standby if you're planning to buy anything. Anyway, onto this week's NewsBytes. 

If you had not heard of Android One, well it was originally an idea by Google in partnership with local manufacturers, to produce low-priced smartphones to be sold in emerging markets. These devices are made to Google’s specifications and runs on stock Android. All Android One phones are guaranteed one OS upgrade, whereby the security and system updates are handled by Google themselves.

Well, the latest Android One phone announced, the GM6, comes from Turkish manufacturer, General Mobile. It is the first Android One device to feature a fingerprint reader, which is placed at the bottom of the screen, and also acts as its home button too.
