After a series of teasers earlier this year, Lenovo finally announced the Legion Y700, the first gaming tablet under its Legion sub-brand. Announced yesterday (28 February 2022) alongside the highly-anticipated Legion Y90 smartphone, the gaming tablet features a minimalist aesthetic alongside a premium metallic built and packs quite a punch, especially in the display department.

Not only the smartphone business, it looks like HUAWEI has also invested a lot of money and effort in the research for its wearables. Recently, the company has opened its largest Health Lab in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, China. Besides studying health-related technology, the new 4,680m² facility also supports the research, incubation and testing of smart wearable products.

A surprising partnership has been announced, and it's between two companies that hardly have any connections, well, except selling smartphones. The latest information shares that Sony will be working with Meizu to utilize its Flyme OS. Both have also confirmed the partnership by posting the announcement on their official Weibo accounts.

Have you ever thought that it would be so cool to charge your smartphone when you put it in your shirt pocket? Well, it could be a reality one day as a group of scientists from Fudan University, Shanghai in China just published a new study on a type of fibre that can be used as a charging technology. 

HONOR, once a brand that struggles, has now regained its glory. The brand is now the third-largest in China by shipping 4 million devices last month. With the help of the number, it managed to surpass other huge brands like Xiaomi and Apple, which shipped 3.9 million and 3 million devices respectively.

After Apple launched the Apple Card as a virtual payment card that is linked to Apple Pay, several other Android brands also jumped on the bandwagon by announcing or launching their own. Now, it looks like vivo will also join the forces after Chinese trademark filings for "VivoCard" being spotted.

Every now and then, there would always have leaks of a certain product before it officially launches. Apple iPhones are definitely under the spotlight even before several months before the release and Apple is getting tired of this. With that in mind, a Chinese leaker got a cease and desist letter from Apple.

A statement by LetsGoDigital seems to hint that Huawei could be one of the first to release a smartphone that’s equipped with the "best" implementation of an under-display camera. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the local market.

When it comes to gaming, we know how addicting it can be especially during this pandemic period. We also know how common (and sometimes annoying) is to have your parents nagging you to sleep and Tencent is taking this on another level. In China, the company launched a facial recognition software system that will lock selected mobile games from 10 PM until 8 AM.
