Some older flagship smartphones continue to shine, offering Malaysian consumers a blend of reliability, performance, and value. If you are looking for a new "old" flagship phone, then you have come to the right place.

Without further ado, this is our list of five older flagship smartphones that remain excellent choices in Malaysia in 2024.

Some brands have resorted to integrate a mini liquid or graphene cooling system inside the phones, but let's be honest it can only do so much and trust me, I have the ASUS ROG Phone and it still gets on fire (performance is too strong). But someone from Japan thought of an idea and it's actually mindblowing - a water cooler radiator!

Just yesterday, we wrote about how Apple is using a "dormant software lock" on the Apple iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max and this will cause a pop-up message about being unable to verify the battery and showing the battery health information. This only happens if the owner had it replaced from a third-party service provider, but out of the blue, Apple actually responded and gave their reasons.

Apple iPhone batteries aren't exactly a highlight when it comes to features, as the number figure is usually lower than Android's due to a different operating system functionality but that's a topic for another day. Today, we just learn from a YouTube channel, The Art of Repair that Apple has quietly restricted any battery replacement, unless if it's their own official ones.

Are you tired of bringing your power bank and an AirPod charging case around? Well, looks like someone else did and manufactured a new charging case that allows the user to charge his or her iPhone and AirPods at the same time and it's called Power1.

eSIM seems to be making its way to become a trend. Maxis and Celcom already have their own eSIM package and the latest player to enter this market is Yoodo. Yoodo consumers can sign-up and register without going to a store, as they can just do it from the comfort of their homes through the Yoodo app.

Today, Celcom has announced that its own eSIM (embedded SIM) package is now available. According to their website, only three phones are eligible for eSIM which are the Apple iPhone XS 64GB, iPhone XS Max 64GB and the iPhone XR 64GB model starting from RM58 per month.

In case you didn't know, Maxis is now offering all Apple iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR Malaysian users their very own eSIM! However, it's not just for them but it's also viable for Huawei Watch 2 users as well. If you're curious on how to activate one, read on below on steps to set up your eSIM provided by Maxis.

Just recently, one of the popular YouTube pioneers, Wong Fu Productions just released a video entitled "Just Another Day" and although it's their usual slice of life genre (so-good). In fact, it really amazed me that it was shot with a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. This also brought up another question - will smartphones be able to take over those rocket-ish cameras in filmmaking? Well, that's a tough question. 

It isn't a feature you're going to need unless you really need it, but water resistance turns out to be the main feature that saved a woman and her friends in an accident at sea near Japan. Reported by the TODAYShow and retweeted by Tim Cook, Rachel Neal and friends were knocked overboard near Okinawa Beach, Japan and lost their way at sea. She made an emergency SOS call with her iPhone, after which she and her friends were rescued.
