News & Reviews:   Android

Different companies lead into the holiday season in different ways, some with discount sales and some with new products. So, what about Google? A Google Play Store sales would have been nice, but it looks like Google is going to bring some new features to Android instead. Six of them, in fact.

WhatsApp have rolled out a new feature to users, where you can set different wallpapers to different chats or contacts. This feature can also work as a visual indicator that helps you to avoid sending messages to the wrong chatroom. 

If you want to get new emojis, you have to wait for the latest OS update. That's a fact that we've been knowing since emoji was released. With that said, it appears that Google might not want to do it like that anymore. It is reported that future emoji updates could get separated from the Android firmware updates.

The mobile game industry is huge these days. While some major publishers don't have a lot of mobile games, Square Enix has ported or made a lot of new games for mobile gamers. Now, the company has released a teaser for Tomb Raider Reloaded.

As we continue to be restricted by the extended CMCO, more of us avoid going out for takeouts and order delivery instead. If that's the case for you, you may have heard of Hungry, a local food delivery platform that is now partnering with Honor Malaysia.

While most of us are stuck at home these days, some people still need to get out on the roads. For them, Waze is constantly adding new features to improve the user's experience. In the latest update, Waze added a new alert feature for when you're crossing railroads.

Have any of you played the old Castlevania games? It's a well-known action-adventure series that brought Koji Igarashi to prominence as a video game producer. The man left Konami a few years ago to produce a spiritual successor to the series called Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and it's coming to mobile soon.

It seems that a sequel to the popular Fruit Ninja mobile game is now available for download via the Google Play Store, as well as the Apple App Store for free. The sequel not only features familiar gameplay mechanics as its predecessor, but it also has 2 new game modes such as Minigame Shuffle, as well as Fruitar Hero.

For those of you who use the Setel app, this could be good news for you. The app is now officially available for use at over 800 Kedai Mesra stores across the country. This means that it's now a viable payment option at the store, allowing you to pay for items without needing to bring cash.

For those who play mobile games on their mobile devices, the experience of using touch controls can sometimes be frustrating. You can normally just use a Bluetooth controller, but it's often without the extra features that come with it like rumbles. Now, Google might be considering fixing that.
