As we enter the month of July, Samsung Malaysia is kicking off a new mid-year sale campaign starting from today onwards until 31st of July 2021. Called Our Colour Your Life, a wide variety of Samsung Galaxy phones, accessories and home appliances are on sale now as we speak.

When it comes to software updates, most Android phones would only have a year max. Fortunately, Samsung Galaxy phones are quite consistent and Samsung just announced there will be five years of Android security patches on selected Galaxy phones. 

LG may have stopped manufacturing smartphones, but it's still not completely unrelated to the business. In fact, reports from last week suggested that the company is in talks with Apple to sell iPhones in its stores. However, Samsung wants to have its phones sold in LG stores too.

With Hari Raya on the way, Samsung Malaysia is gearing up for another Raya promotion for Samsung Galaxy users. From now on until 30 April 2021, Samsung Galaxy users can redeem up to over 40 kinds of rewards, including a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds+, Galaxy Fit and many more.

Remember the Samsung Care+ programme that we talked about? Well, Samsung Malaysia and international insurtech, bolttech have announced a new partnership and now bolttech customers have access to the care package plan. 

If you're a Samsung Galaxy user for the longest time, you would be familiar with the company's care package service for the devices. Samsung Malaysia just launched a new Samsung Care+ for the Malaysian Galaxy users, which is a coverage plan that offers repairs on phones or tablets. 

If you're an Apple iPhone user and have always wondered how is the One UI on the Samsung Galaxy is like, this is your chance now. Samsung just released a new website called iTest which lets iPhone users experience some Samsung Galaxy user interface functions.

It seems that a bunch of Samsung Galaxy smartphones are being upcycled via the Galaxy Upcycling programme, turning them into affordable and portable retinal cameras in Vietnam to diagnose eye diseases. Samsung plans to introduce the upcycling programme to India, Morocco, as well as Papua New Guinea.

Currently, the trend of having 5G on new smartphone models is inevitable. While we still have to wait until the end of this year (according to our lovely PM) for 5G connectivity, one might wonder how is the connection speed performance of a particular smartphone? Opensignal did a test and here's what you need to know on which phone performs the best in 5G. 

Every year, we see smartphones improve in specs only. That's kind of sad, as it would be great to also have radically new features. That might not happen soon, but at least companies like Samsung are improving existing features. Case in point, the pop-up camera.
