Xiaomi is on a roll this year, after releasing several favourable smartphones such as the Mi MIX 3, Mi 9, Mi 9 SE and the recent Mi 9T in Malaysia, we got news from Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun on the current status of the Mi and Redmi series, as well as the Mi Max and Mi Note series this year...which won't be happening.

Good news for Xiaomi fans everywhere, MIUI 9 Global ROM 7.9.7 update is now live and the third batch of Xiaomi smartphones are now eligible to download it which you can get it from Xiaomi's forum thread here. Below is the list the third batch that can be updated:

Sick of carrying around an extra power bank around? And don’t you just hate it too when you forgot to bring either that or the charging cable? As the usage of streaming and playing entertainment on their devices continue to increase, having high battery mAh in smartphones is a popular criteria for Malaysians. If you’re looking for one, you’ve come to the right place. Here are our top 5 smartphones with big batteries you can get in Malaysia.  

Xiaomi is usually known for their budget friendly and quality smartphones, but they are also going to the high-end market too with the upcoming Mi 6 and and Mi Max 2. Although it’s unlikely that they will release them in Malaysia officially, customers are still able to get them by importing. Here’s what we know about the the two devices.

When the Xiaomi Mi Mix was released, it certainly got a lot of attention and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful smartphones at the moment. But if you think Xiaomi is stopping there, you’re mistaken; there’s a new rumour of a new successor dubbed as the Mi Max 2, and it will be slightly bigger than the original.

Xiaomi just announced that the latest MIUI 8.2 update is now rolling out to most of the Xiaomi phones made over the last 2 years. These devices would progressively receive the update over-the-air (OTA) through the Updater app. Users can also run a manual update by downloading the update from here too.

The first round of devices that’ll receive the MIUI 8.2 update are: Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi 4i, Mi Note, Mi Max, Redmi 1S and Redmi Note 4G.

We have seen the leaks saying that there will be a white Xiaomi Mi Mix coming to the market soon, and here it is. Xiaomi has officially unveiled the official new colour of the bezelless smartphone, alongside the new Mi TV 4 65-inch.

Fans of phone tablets or phones with larger than 6-inch displays will often note that they don't get powerful tech specs or a premium design with their large display devices, at least until now as the ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra ZU680KL packs in a 6.8-inch full HD display, 4GB RAM, 23MP rear camera, 8MP front camera, 4600 mAh battery and more in a premium flat and thin all metal body with “invisible” antennas. Is it the powerful all-in-one phone tablet we’ve all been waiting for?

Looks like the biggest news of the week came in at the last moment as Samsung officially recalled the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 over a faulty sometimes exploding battery. It wasn't the only one suspended as Google also stopped work on their Project Ara modular smartphone.
