Qualcomm has officially introduced two new mobile chipsets, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 and Snapdragon 4 Gen 5, aimed at bringing faster performance, smoother gaming, and improved AI features to more affordable smartphones. The new platforms are expected to power upcoming devices from brands including HONOR, OPPO, realme, and Redmi in the second half of 2026.

Recently, HONOR made a robot that broke the world record for a Half-Marathon event in Beijing. That said, what should you know about it?

Even before the recent rise in device prices in 2026 due to the shortage of memory chips, phones have steadily become more and more expensive in Malaysia. Many experts say prices may not go down until 2030, so instead of upgrading every year, perhaps you should buy 1 device that would last 4 years or more instead? Check it out here.

A new report from Counterpoint Research highlights a major shift in the smartphone landscape, with “accessible flagship” devices emerging as the sweet spot for consumers in 2026. These devices, typically priced below ultra-premium flagships but packed with high-end features, are gaining traction globally and increasingly influencing buying trends in markets like Malaysia.

Today, HONOR has officially announced a major shift in its product strategy, repositioning its N Series from a mid-range lineup into the flagship category. The move signals a stronger focus on premium hardware and advanced imaging, as the brand looks to compete more directly in the high-end smartphone segment.

HONOR has officially announced its first smartphone launch of 2026 in Malaysia, hinting at a brand-new flagship series set to expand its premium lineup. The upcoming device is positioned as a fresh addition to HONOR’s portfolio, promising upgraded features and next-generation performance aimed at pushing the brand further into the high-end segment.

Although the official start of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 is tomorrow, companies have already begun sharing new tech at the annual tech conference. This year, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be the focus, and Honor has some cool stuff to show this time.

HONOR has hyping up its MWC 2026 showcase for a few days now. But today, the company teased the arrival of a new smartphone in Malaysia, positioning it as a device that blends high-end industrial design with accessible innovation. It is aiming to deliver a flagship-inspired experience while remaining competitively priced for the local market.

Today, HONOR has confirmed plans to unveil its next-generation smartphone lineup and an expanded flagship IoT ecosystem at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026 on 1 March 2026. According to the company, the event will highlight how AI is becoming a foundational layer across its product ecosystem rather than a standalone feature.

A Counterpoint Research report confirms that Apple now dominates global active devices, with nearly one in four smartphones used worldwide by 2025 being an iPhone. With a market share of around 25 per cent, Apple has surpassed its closest competitor, Samsung, which holds a 20 per cent share.
