News & Reviews:   IoT

Previously cancelled in 2022, the Mobile World Congress Shanghai (MWC Shanghai) is set to return in 2023. This will also be the 10th time the event will be held at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center (SNIEC) from 28 to 30 June 2023.

If you were unaware, IFA 2022 kicked off late last night. On the first night, HONOR confirmed the global availability of several products already available in Malaysia. But that's not all, as the company also introduces the new version of its operating system - MagicOS 7.0.

Last week, Huawei introduced HarmonyOS globally and many Huawei phones would be able to get an upgrade soon. According to sources, the update rollout seems to be a success as 10 million users in China have upgraded to the new operating system.

In conjunction with the 5.5 Pesta Raya Deals that’s happening on Shopee on 5 May 2021 from 12AM onwards, get up to 54% off selected realme products such as wireless earbuds, IoT products and more. Not only that, but it will be the first online sale of the realme Motion Activated Night Light which comes equipped with 365-day battery life, Infrared Motion Detection, and more at only RM39.

We are now in the month of September and the next thing to look forward to is some new technological announcements from IFA 2020. Held annually in Berlin, Germany, it will be realme's first time attending the event and their conference is on 4 September, 12.25-13.10 CEST (UTS+2).

Nowadays, it looks like Huawei is becoming more self-reliant especially after the ban took place. Although the company has been restricted to access resources from the U.S. for their technology products, they are still constantly coming up with new ideas to wow the crowd. Recently, it is suggested that all of the Huawei products might ditch Android OS and replaced by the HarmonyOS in the future.

Sometimes, a company decides to cut off what it may deem unwanted excess to focus on more important things. That's what ARM is planning to do as it looks to offload its Internet of Things (IoT) divisions to SoftBank. This is so that the company can concentrate on what it's most famous for - designing chips for mobile devices and computers.

As a tech gadget website, we have already written plenty of 5G smartphones news and their potential. Smartphone brands are already eager to release their 5G devices even though 5G technology is still in its infancy. With still a long way to go, it is understandable that many of us don't care (but you should, really). 

Sooner or later, the rollout of 5G technology is set to hit Malaysian shores in the not-so-distant future. Thanks to efforts made by Malaysian telecommunications provider Celcom, we're beginning to see the literally-life-changing benefits of the technology. In this article, here's another reminder of how 5G will impact our future and why it is exciting.

Intel is expected to hold a press conference on 23 and 24 October 2019, where they will most likely release new information on their upcoming Tremont processor. The new Tremont processor is a highly efficient processing unit, which would most likely be used in devices such as tablets, IoT, microservers and more.

I’m pretty sure by now that everyone knows that a brand new 5G network is currently being tested in Malaysia and it is capable of offering up to or even more than 6Gbps download speeds. However, there are still some users out there who are sceptical towards the new network, probably due to the fact that even the current 4G network coverage in Malaysia is nowhere near perfect just yet.

However, recently MCMC Minister YB Gobind Singh announced that states such as Kedah, Kuala Lumpur, Perak, Selangor as well as Terengganu will be part of the original Putrajaya and Cyberjaya 5G-network testbed. If all goes well, we might just expect a few cities in Malaysia to officially offer the new 5G network as early as the first quarter of 2020. That being said, Is it actually worth investing in a flagship smartphone without 5G right now?
