News & Reviews:   Maxis Malaysia launch

Maxis is always working on improving its users’ experience. In order to continue doing that, Maxis will be having a system upgrading exercise in two phases for its Hotlink Prepaid service and one of them will be happening today, 22nd of April.

We all thought 5G would never come to Malaysia, at least not in the next 5 years at least. Well, we may just be wrong as 5G pioneer testing will be coming to Malaysia in April starting with Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.

We reported earlier that Maxis might have plans to introduce a smartphone of their own, and it might will be made available from 3 March onwards. Well, looks like they had made it official! Maxis had just launched the device, which is called the NeXT M1, and it’ll be priced at RM78/month as a ready to use plan which includes the device, calls minutes and data as a bundle.

In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Maxis is apparently planning to sell its self-branded 4G smartphone soon?

According to Lowyat.NET, a forum member accidentally discovered the device, simply called “Maxis NeXT” on the telco’s official website and shared a number of screenshots.

The iPhone 7 hype is finally over here in Malaysia. Maxis Berhad started to deliver the device to the customer via their #Maxis24hrExpress plan. Morten Lundal, CEO of Maxis also joined the game and delivers the brand new iPhone 7 to one of their customers.
