    Xiaomi Mi Note review - Beautiful 5.7-inch metal and glass phablet with OIS

    When the Xiaomi Mi Note first came out it really made waves as the successor to the flagshipXiaomi Mi 4. Unlike the Mi 4, the Mi Note goes for a larger 5.7-inch phablet form factor and a beautiful curved glass-based design different from previous Xiaomi smartphones. Released in two versions, the Xiaomi Mi Note and the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, the Mi Note is the lower-end version of the two but still offers flagship features like dual 4G LTE connectivity, a brushed metal body, 2.5D front glass, 3D back glass, Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and more. Does it deliver the same level of premium as better known brands? Check out our full review of the Xiaomi Mi Note below to find out.

    While we've already had a brief hands-on and product demo video of the Nokia Lumia 930, we thought that we'd take a closer look at it with a hands-on video of our own. If you've been wondering how it feels and looks like in our hands then do check it out below. As it is, we found it to be a lot more compact than some other PureView camera packing Lumia smartphones while still managing to include a powerful 20.7MP PureView rear camera. The larger 5-inch full HD display is very nice to look at and does well with all the teeny tiny text on the Windows Phone 8.1 Live tiles. Check out our hands-on video of the Lumia 930 in this article.

    The Nokia Lumia 930 is currently one of the top Lumia smartphones available and we managed to get some time with it. This allowed us to do a short unboxing video where you can see what comes along with the Lumia 930. This includes a microUSB cable, a user manual and a charger. Unfortunately, it looks like we won't be getting any free Qi wireless charger as mentioned by other reviewers around the world but this could be why the Lumia 930 only retails at RM1999. Notable tech specs and features for the Lumia 930 include a metal frame and a 20.7MP PureView camera that doesn't jut out. Check out the unboxing video for yourself in this article.

    Nokia Malaysia just launched the Nokia Lumia 830 for Malaysia at RM1399 and we managed to get some hands-on time with the smartphone. Overall, the Lumia 830 bears the same metal frame design as the Lumia 930 with a colourful polycarbonate backside but it does look somewhat slimmer compared to the Lumia 930. The 10MP PureView camera sensor does protrude a little but it isn't as bad as other PureView cameraphones. Overall, the Lumia 830 feels solid enough to drop without worrying too much, a lot like many other polycarbonate backed Lumias as well and the back easily pops off if you'd like to change the cover. It is also one of the few midrange smartphones we've seen to offer Qi wireless charging. Check out the Nokia Lumia 830 tech specs and demo video below:

    Lumia 830 launch in Malaysia happening on 25 September 2014 at GSC

    Microsoft Devices Malaysia have sent out the invites for an event on 25 September 2014 and while they didn't mention it by name, the picture in the invite gives the smartphone to be launched away as the Nokia Lumia 830. Recently announced at IFA 2014, the Lumia 830 is one of the few midrange market smartphones to offer Optical Image Stabilization to go with it's 10MP PureView camera. Other tech specs and features include a 1.2GHZ quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB RAM, 5-inch display with 720p HD resolution and the Lumia Denim Update for Windows Phone 8.1. While there isn't any Malaysia pricing yet, it was initially priced at 330 euros (RM1371) which is quite affordable for a Lumia with these tech specs.

    Rumours: Nokia Lumia Superman and Lumia Tesla tech specs appear?

    The upcoming Nokia Lumia Superman is rumoured to be coming in August 2014 and may be the company's first selfie-centric smartphone. This would probably mean a 5MP or higher front camera. Other tech specs for the smartphone include a possible 4.7-inch display. Another rumoured Lumia includes the Lumia Tesla which could be a smaller PureView camera packing version of the Lumia 930. Still no news on Malaysia release dates or pricing or a new 41MP PureView Camera refresh, but stay tuned and we'll keep you posted as to any new developments.

    Nokia Lumia 930 hands-on (video included)

    The Nokia Lumia 930 was recently previewed here in Malaysia by Microsoft Devices and TechNave.com were invited. We managed to get some hands-on time with the Nokia Lumia 930 and it certainly feels premium. The 20.7MP camera captures some very nice images and is both fast and reliable. Targeting those premium users wanting to convert over to a Windows Phone 8.1 experience, the Nokia Lumia 930 feels solidly built. According to Steve Chan, Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Devices, part of the reason for the polycarbonate backside is that it is more comfortable and scratch-proof compared to a metal back casing. While we'll have to agree with that, it doesn't give the same premium look that some other metal chassis smartphones have. In all, we were quite impressed with the new Nokia Lumia 930, but do check out the hands-on pictures and demo video in this article for yourself.
