The Mi Fan Festival 2019 has kicked off today with special deals and discounts off of nearly all their product range including smartphones, fitness trackers, smart watches and even their smart lights. Granted, many of the discounts are just a little bit off the top (like that Mi Max 3 I was eyeing) while some are as much as RM500 off (Mi 8 Pro), but if you’re looking for just a tiny bit more push to get that POCOPHONE F1 or Mi Band 3, now could be the time.

In conjunction with Xiaomi's 8th birthday, there will be a Mi Fan Festival hosted by Xiaomi where you can get freebies and discounts on your purchases. The festival, as well as their juicy discounts, are available at the official Mi Store on Lazada and in all participating Mi Stores in Malaysia.

According to the latest report from research firm IDC, OPPO is now the top smartphone brand in China. The company took a 16.8% share of the market, shipping a total of 78.4 million units in 2016! It is closely followed by Huawei, as well as Vivo, making up the Top 3 with a 48% total market share.

Ahead of "Singles Day" on 11 November 2016, Honor Malaysia, Flash and Mi Malaysia are all having deals for you. The details for the Honor Malaysia deals were already included in their Honor Gala 2016 announcement, while Flash is offering an RM100 discount for the Flash Plus 2 at Lazada tomorrow. Also at Lazada is Xiaomi or Mi Malaysia with the following deals:

• Redmi Note 3 16GB: RM 499 (RRP: RM 699)
• Mi Max (3GB + 32GB) + Free 10000mAh Mi Power Bank Silver: RM 999
• New 10000mAh Mi Power Bank Pro Grey: RM 119 (RRP: RM 149)

Mi Malaysia recently announced that they will be bringing in the Xiaomi Redmi 2 Enhanced with 2GB RAM for RM459. The smartphone will be available on 16 July 2015 from 12PM at the Mi Malaysia site. Tech specs remain mostly the same with a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor and 2GB RAM but there is also 16GB worth of storage, double that of the 8GB storage on the Redmi 2. The Redmi 2 is currently retailing for RM399 so another RM60 for double the RAM and storage is a fairly good deal. Check out the full Xiaomi Redmi 2 Enhanced tech specs and features below:

• 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB storage + up to 32GB microSD 
• 4.7-inch display (1280 x 720 HD screen, 312 PPI)
• 8MP rear camera (BSI f/2.2) + 2MP front camera (BSI, 720p video recording)
• features 4G Dual SIM, Dual Standby
• 2200mAh battery (Quick Charge 1.0)

Xiaomi Mi Malaysia have just announced that their Xiaomi Redmi 2 smartphone is now available for RM399. This is RM50 off of the original price of RM449 and according to them is due to lower costs. In addition, the current "Jom Raya Dengan Mi" event (currently happening today) and PayPal deal will also let you get another RM50 discount if you pay using PayPal for a value beating price tag of just RM349. The 64-bit Redmi 2 certainly offers a good deal in terms of value even without the RM100 decrease in price but if you need a few more details feel free to check out our Xiaomi Redmi 2 reviewor the Mi Malaysia site for other details.
