We've already seen leaked tech specs on paper of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom but now there is a picture of it and a possible name as well. Going as the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, this Samsung Galaxy S5 variant will apparently have an artificial leather backside. As promised, the Zoom lens isn't as prominent (read, sticking out) as before but it is a bit difficult to judge how much based on the angle of the image. Tech specs for the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom are expected to start with a 1.6GHz quad-core processor or a 1.3GHz Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa processor with ARM Mali T624 graphics, a 4.8-inch display, 2GB RAM and Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat. The camera sensor will be 20MP and come with 10x optical zoom and Xenon flash. Still no news on pricing or Malaysia release dates but with the image already leaked we're expecting very soon, or at least within Q2 of 2014.

Just a short while ago, quite a lot of people were mighty interested in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo, not only because it would have a Hexa-core processor but also because it was meant to be a more affordable version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet. Thankfully, this is true for Malaysia as the Galaxy Note 3 Neo is priced at RM1699. Utilizing the features and tech specs of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but using the Galaxy Note 3 design, the device has 3G HSPA+ connectivity, and updated 8MP rear camera, 2GB of RAM and a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. It also has an S Pen stylus as well. Do bear in mind that third party sellers are already dropping the price to RM1560 so do check out our sister site of MobileMegaMall.com for more details.

Confirming their new Samsung Galaxy Tab refresh is the recent announcement of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 range of tablets. This includes the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 4 10.1. The overall design has not changed, except perhaps for a slightly more rounded look. The more notable changes are internal with tech specs that include:

• Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0
• 1.2GHz quad-core processor
• 1.5GB RAM
• 8GB / 16GB storage + microSD up to 64GB
• 7-inch display (1280 x 800 pixel resolution)
• 3MP rear camera (fixed focus) + 1.3MP front camera
• 276g

The Samsung Galaxy S5 upped the battery to 2800 mAh from 2600 mAh but also added on a whole bunch of upgraded tech specs and hardware as well. Many have been wondering how that would affect battery life for Samsung's latest smartphone. Thankfully, battery life benchmarks have been done with some pretty good results. While it doesn't take the top spot in all categories, it does offer more than 7 hours of continuous usage along with 10 hours of just browsing. Check out the other benchmark results for yourself in this article.

Going for a pre-order of the just locally released Samsung Galaxy S5, DiGi are now offering the smartphone from RM1199 on pre-order. Retailing at RM2399, the smartphone does cost quite a bit, so a discount past 50% is quite welcome, especially if you're planning to use a DG SmartPlan. Balancing out the lower price is the fact that you are limited to a 24 months contract but you'll still get the smartphone from 11 April 2014. The DiGi pre-order will end on 10 April 2014 and for some added value DiGi are also offering 9GB of data free for the 3 months after 19 April 2014. For more details, check out the table and links in this article.

With the Samsung Galaxy S5 well and launched here in Malaysia, Maxis is one of the first of the major telcos to come out with pre-order bundles for the smartphone. You can now get the Galaxy S5 from RM1399 (retail pricing is at RM2399) once you sign up for a TalkMore or SurfMore postpaid plan. Maxis are offering both 12 months and 24 months contracts which should be great for those who don't like to be tied to a contract for too long. However, there is one downside, the preorder is only for those subscribing to get a new number. Existing Maxis customers will have to wait a while longer with the next pre-order expected on 3 April 2014 (which isn't all that long actually). Check out the details of the bundle deals in the table and links in this article.

Apart from the Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Malaysia also revealed their Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatch and Samsung Gear Fit smartband. Previously, the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch had major issues with compatibility, but not so with these two new wearable devices as Samsung Malaysia prove with an extensive device compatibility list which you can see in this article.

After being told we wouldn't have to wait that long, Samsung Malaysia has announced the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone here in the country. As typical of a Samsung flagship smartphone, it also comes with companion devices like the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatch and Samsung Gear Fit smartband. While it probably doesn't need mentioning anymore, the tech specs for the Samsung Galaxy S5 include:

• 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB / 32GB storage + microSD (64GB)
• 5.1-display (FHD, Super AMOLED, 1920 x 1080)
• 16MP rear camera (ISOCELL, UHD@30fps, HDR, video stabilization) + 2.0MP front camera
• 142.0 x 72.5 x 8.1mm | 145g
• 2800 mAh battery
• Supports LTE Cat.4, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac HT80, MIMO(2x2), Bluetooth 4.0 BLE / ANT+, USB 3.0, NFC, IR Remote
• Features Gesture(IR), Finger Scanner, Heart rate sensor, Download Booster, S Health 3.0, Quick Connect, Private Mode, Kids Mode
• IP67 Dust and Water Resistant
• Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

On top of some impressive tech specs and new hardware features the Samsung Galaxy S5 apparently has a baby monitor feature built-in. Unlike a typical 'S' app the feature can be found under the Hearing sub-menu. If your child cries the Galaxy S5 will vibrate, which seems rather redundant at first. However, the function is supposed to be used in tandem with the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch which makes more sense for those parents who sleep in separate bedrooms from their children or who tend to sleep through the loudest of noises regardless.

Samsung have been releasing larger Tab Pro and Note Pro tablets but there has yet to be any definite news about a newSamsung Galaxy Tab 4 lineup. As it is, master leaker @evleaks has just leaked images of what he says is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. While the overall look more or less remains the same, bezels on the tablet seems to be thinner. Unfortunately, there are still no tec specs or features about the tablet, much less any details regarding Malaysia release dates or pricing. However, stay tuned and we'll keep you posted as to any new developments.
