When we talk about the best camera on a smartphone, the Huawei P series is definitely one of the top that comes to mind. Can you remember how the P series has climbed in popularity a step at a time to become the market leader in smartphone photography?

In the spirit of Huawei P30’s recent launch, let’s look back at the evolution of the P series. Here’s some of our more notable highlights.

Most of the time, the lite version are usually shunned out by the standard and Plus or Max variant because it’s the lesser version. In this case, we feel that the Huawei P10 lite is not getting as much attention as the P10 and P10 Plus probably because of how the P9 lite was last year. But don’t look down on this fella yet, because here are 10 things you didn’t know about the P10 lite.

In the midst of Huawei busy promoting their newest Pantone Greenery and Dazzling Blue on the P10 and P10 Plus series, the company silently added two more colours to the Mate 9 in China, which happens to be Red Agate and Topaz Blue.

The Huawei Mate 8 is currently going live at KLCC Concourse for their Huawei Mate 8 Carnival. Available until 2 May 2016, the roadshow offers the recent Huawei Mate 8 trade-up program (so you can get it for less than RM300!), telco deals with Celcom, Digi and Maxis and plenty of prizes. These include a free Huawei G780 for the first 50 buyers and a Huawei ANC Earpiece for the next 50. 

It isn't a secret that Huawei and LEICA have made a partnership, the only question would be when or for which device. From this leaked image it looks like this could be the upcoming Huawei P9. Set for a 6 April 2016 announcement, this leaked image clearly shows the LEICA logo with a SUMMARIT and f/2.2 aperture and 27mm focal length on the strip where the camera is located, along with dual cameras, what appears to be dual laser autofocus sensors and a finger print sensor below it. But then again, these do not match with previous leaked images.

If you ever compared the Huawei P7 against the Huawei P8 you would be forgiven if you wondered how the design made such a drastic leap from the glass and metal frame of the P7 to the full metal P8. It turns out that the missing link between the two is the Huawei P8 Lite as it offers a stylish brushed metal full metal frame from the P8 with a front and back similar to the P7. In addition, it is currently being priced for below RM800.  Does it manage to bridge the gap in terms of other aspects as well? We find out in our Huawei P8 Lite review below.

Flagship smartphones are generally faster, have more features and usually cost a lot more than what you’d normally pay for a smartphone. However, things are changing and smartphone manufacturers are now coming out with smartphones that not only offer flagship features but do so at more affordable price points. At just RM1399 the honor 7 is honor’s flagship featured smartphone coming with a metal build, fingerprint sensor and 20MP rear camera. Does it equal or better more expensive flagship smartphones? After using it for quite some time I can honestly say I’m mostly impressed by it but read the full review of the honor 7 below for all the details.

Christmas is just around the corner and you may be thinking about what to get your tech gadget loving family. So are we and as such we've compiled a list of the Top tech gadgets we'd get for our own loved ones for Christmas.

The Huawei Mate S was officially launched in Malaysia for RM2698 today and is available at all major distributors and resellers. While at first we felt like it was just another smartphone launch, you really have to take a closer look at the phone firsthand for the excitement to build. Featuring a gold and coral pink coloured metal body that is both curvy and light, we felt that the Mate S feels thinner and more premium than even the Huawei P8. The full tech specs and features for the Huawei Mate S include the following: 

• 64-bit 2.2GHz octa-core Hisilicon Kirin 935 processor
• 3GB RAM
