LG smartphones don't see a lot of attention in Malaysia, but that's not to say that they're bad. The biggest problem with the brand is that it doesn't do enough marketing here and their phones don't stand out enough in a saturated Malaysian smartphone market. But the company's next smartphone may win it some fans thanks to a new design.

With a new year comes a new start and a new week of NewsBytes. But enough of the rhyming and let's get on to the happenings for this week. Being in between new year's holidays means that news has been sparse, though we did see LG announcing some upcoming stuff for CES 2020, realme's giant Christmas tree made of smartphone boxes, and more.

New technologies are always interesting to see, especially if they're for things we often use. In particular, LG's Signature Series OLED TV R from last year was an exciting product. This year, the Korean electronics manufacturer is expected to unveil a new model at CES 2020.

This week sees a bit more variety of happenings for our TechNave NewsByte 2019. There's SOCAR's promo, LG winning some awards at the first Asia Tech Awards, Mudah.my encouraging us to sell back stuff we might have bought unnecessarily, and more. Let's see what these are all about, shall we?

Clearly cloud based gaming is the future. Earlier today, Nvidia announced that their streaming service, the Nvidia GeForce NOW will be making its way to Android powered mobile devices. For those not in the know, the Nvidia GeForce NOW streaming service is a way for gamers to stream games from their game libraries on their mobile devices.

LG has recently announced the unveiling of their new 24-inch 4K display, as well as a 27-inch 5K UltraFine display starting from USD699.95(~RM2899) and USD1299.95(~RM5385) respectively. The new monitors by LG are designed specifically for Apple users in mind due to the fact that the brightness and volume of the speakers can be controlled via the touch bar or keyboard of a Macbook.

LG introduces the LG Smart ThinQ technology, which allows the user to connect to their LG home appliances via the internet. The user is able to perform actions such as control, as well as monitor their home appliances via the LG Smart ThinQ app which can be installed on their mobile smartphone. Not only that, but they have also introduced several new LG home appliances that are compatible with LG Smart ThinQ such as air conditioners, fridges, fan, washing machine, and more.
