HONOR is now doing great after leaving HUAWEI. Not only the brand has made it into the top smartphone rank in China, but its laptop division is also performing well by getting more market share. However, it seems like that the company could return to the old days as the US is considering banning it.

In September 2020, Nvidia had announced its plan to acquire Arm from SoftBank for about 40 billion USD (~RM164 billion). However, Qualcomm has jumped out of the middle of nowhere recently and offered to invest in the semiconductor company rather than purchase it outright, in the event Arm rejects the deal offered by Nvidia.

Earlier, Xiaomi had been blacklisted by the United States as former President Donald Trump designated the company as a “Communist Chinese military company". As a result, US citizens and companies were barred from investing or dealing with Xiaomi. Until now, it is reported that the Chinese tech company is finally removed from the blacklist following a lawsuit to US courts.

Not only the 2021 iPad Pro has arrived with mini-LED, but Apple's latest tablet is also surprisingly equipped with the powerful M1 chip. Now, the iPad Pro is basically equally powerful as the M1 MacBooks and it brings us to the question of whether Apple will merge these products one day. However, Apple executives have responded to the doubt by saying the company currently has no plan for it.

HUAWEI has released its annual report and it is shown that the company is doing better than before despite the US ban. As HUAWEI doesn't report quarterly earnings since it's a private company with a unique employee ownership structure, the annual report is the only thing that allows us to check on the company's performance.

After leaving OnePlus, the co-founder has found himself another probably-going-to-be huge thing that he can focus on to continue his journey in the industry. Last month, Carl Pei has announced the name of his new startup and it's called Nothing. At that time, he didn't mention anything about the products that the brand will be making, but now it has been revealed that the first product will be a pair of wireless earbuds.

After departing from OnePlus, Carl Pei is now preparing for a project that is exciting but at the same time, vague. The OnePlus co-founder has announced a new brand that is named 'Nothing' today. Other than the captivating name, he revealed 'nothing' else about what kind of technology products or services that the brand will be launching.

The news of HUAWEI selling HONOR might have been one of the biggest news in the tech industry this year. HONOR was under HUAWEI as a sub-brand for almost seven years starting from 2013 but the relationship has eventually come to an end. Today, the founder of HUAWEI Ren Zhengfei has spoken regarding the departure by hoping HONOR to be big enough to rival HUAWEI one day.

The Huawei Spark Malaysia competition has been officially announced in collaboration between Huawei Malaysia, as well as MDEC, in order to encourage innovation in key areas such as e-commerce, Fintech, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Smart Cities. The company that achieved the top spot in the aforementioned competition will be eligible for various prizes including financial support of up to USD125000 (~RM516312), a boost in business and brand awareness, mentoring, Go-To-Market support and more.

Earlier, HUAWEI was speculated to be selling their sub-brand HONOR to another company. Now, the news has come confirming that the Chinese tech giant has already done so. Sooner or later, HONOR will become a standalone brand from HUAWEI with an official announcement.
