Despite the competitiveness in the smartphone industry, there are actually some brands who choose to skip Malaysia as a potential market. So in celebration of Merdeka, these are the smartphone series that never came to Malaysia (lol). To make the criteria clear, imported versions do not count so it must have an official smartphone launch just like how Samsung Malaysia, Huawei Malaysia and others do it. You get the idea, here we go!

Another month has passed but it seems that the pandemic didn’t affect the smartphone industry much. Looking back in July, we guess that month should be called the "mobile gamer month" because 4 gaming phones were launched. Check out all phones as below:

The Nubia Red Magic 5S has been making a lot of noise as another gaming smartphone that is going to be launched this month. Not only it will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 chipset, but the gaming beast also has some other features that we were looking forward to seeing. Now, the device has been finally announced and let's take a look at what it has to offer!

Nubia is set to launch its next gaming smartphone later today, but that's not stopping the leaks of the Red Magic 5S from appearing. It has already been revealed that the device will have a powerful Snapdragon 865+ chipset and support for WiFi 6. But now reports claim that it will also let you wirelessly cast your game to a TV and use the phone as a game controller.

The news about the successor of the Nubia Red Magic 5 has been popping up on the Internet recently. Other than featuring the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chipset, the Red Magic 5S is also confirmed to have its cooling plate made of silver for better cooling performance. Finally, it has now been revealed that the device will be launched in China on 28 July.

Gaming smartphones can be considered as challenging to be built just like gaming laptops, gaming PCs, or gaming consoles. Not only powerful processors are needed to keep a beast running, but the manufacturers also need to watch out for the temperature as well to prevent the machines from getting too hot. With that said, the upcoming Nubia Red Magic 5s is getting its cooling system built using silver for optimal performance.

In March, the Nubia Red Magic 5G was launched with the flagship-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset. Other than that, the gaming-centric device also came with other impressive tech specs like 16GB of RAM, 144Hz refresh rate, and 55W fast charging. Now, the president of Nubia has teased the upcoming Red Magic 5s on his social media, hinting at a Snapdragon 865+ upgrade.
