These days, collaborations between companies are more diverse than before. Many of them are partnering up with other companies that have nothing similar at all. For instance, fashion brands can be teamed up with food manufacturers like what Supreme and Oreo did to bring us those expensive red-coloured Oreo cookies. Now, we have a new collaboration coming soon which appears to be a partnership between Maybank and realme.

As the saying goes "strike while the iron is hot", realme is not waiting too long before announcing its next release. We already know that the realme 6i was on the way, but now there's confirmation that it's coming sooner than some may think. The latest news confirms that the device will be unveiled on 17 March 2020.

Sorry folks, the TechNave NewsBytes have piled up recently with news from Digi, MDEC, HID Signo, Adobe 36 Days of Type, Kaspersky Coronavirus, Celcom, TIME, Tibco, eJamin, realme, Xiaomi and more. We’ll try and cover more, more regularly as they roll in so stay tuned to TechNave.com

The realme 6 series has finally launched and we predicted yesterday, it's commanding prices that are higher than the ones for the realme 5 series. It's available in two different models, which are the realme 6 and 6 Pro, with very different specs and features. Price for the realme 6 starts from Rs. 12999 (~RM739), while the realme 6 Pro will cost at least Rs. 16999 (~RM966).

The realme 6 series is launching in India tomorrow and we fully expect details to be revealed before the launch. In fact, the people at realme aren't shy about spoilers and have said that the realme 6 is the new Pro. But what does that even mean?

The recent widespread of the coronavirus which is known as SARS-VoC-2 originated from Wuhan district has now reached into multiple countries even the US. The outbreak has led to a shortage of supply in manufactures especially smartphone brands like Apple, Xiaomi, and realme.

It has already been confirmed that realme would be launching the realme 6 and 6 Pro in India soon, but one thing that wasn't announced at the time was what chipset it would use. Now, we at least know that the realme 6 Pro is likely using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 chipset.

The realme 5i may have just launched quite recently in Malaysia but the next model in the series is on the way. A new leak has revealed live shots of the realme 6i, showing off how the phone looks like. From the images, it seems that it will be fairly similar to the realme 5i.

Many of you must have heard the news Apple is planning to make its own 5G modems in the future. With that being said, the company might not be relying on Qualcomm anymore to support their 5G devices after the contract ends. Now, a similar case is happening to OPPO too. Instead of a 5G modem, the smartphone manufacturer is heading to something big, which is to develop its own smartphone chipset.

Due to fears of a coronavirus outbreak, GSMA yesterday confirmed that this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) has been cancelled. Now that the event will no longer be held, there have been talks of some brands possibly running their own events during the original MWC 2020 week. It seems that this is what realme would be doing, except in a new location.
