It appears that the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 could be coming soon and may even have a touchscreen display. The previous Mi Band did not have any display and you had to rely on the app installed on your smartphone to find out your fitness tracking details. The render does not appear to be official and it looks a lot like the Huawei TalkBand B1 so do take this one with a grain of salt. As usual of such leaked pics, there are no details on Malaysia release dates or pricing but a release in July would coincide with the release of the original Mi Band, which was released in July 2014. Since the Mi Band did come in to Malaysia at RM59, we expect Xiaomi to maintain the status quo and price the Mi Band 2 at RM99. 

Xiaomi Malaysia recently announced that only one device in their range of products available will be affected by the impending implementation of GST. This device would be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4Gwhich goes to RM625.

This also means that the Redmi Note 4G will be available for RM589 from now till 11:59pm, 31 March 2015 so if you've been planning to buy the Redmi Note 4G, now is the time to get it. Asides from 4G LTE, the Redmi Note 4G offers tech specs that include a Snapdragon 400 processor, 5.5-inch display, 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera.
