News & Reviews:   MaxisONE Kid Watch

Sorry TechNavers, last week due to weekend events and issues we could not foresee, I couldn't get the Weekly TechNave out. The good news is that now we have 2 weeks of tech news and events for this week's Weekly TechNave.

Internationally, the Xiaomi Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus got launched along with the TCL 950 and Blackberry will not be designing smartphones anymore. Samsung also officially announced their Galaxy A8 (2016). The Malaysian prices for the Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus got "officially" leaked, so check out our compilation page to register your interest for the telco of your choice.

Maxis today launched their MaxisONE Kid postpaid plan so that kids can keep in touch with parents for RM58 a month, complete with unlimited calls, SMS and Data. According to Maxis the ages of 10 and below are too young to own a phone, so they've paired the plan with their MaxisONE Kid Watch (based on the QQ Watch) which is equipped with GPS, can take pictures (remotely if necessary), set geo-location based electronic fences and more. The MaxisONE Kid bundle requires you to sign up for a 12 month contract after which you'll own the watch and continue paying RM58 a month.
