News & Reviews:   Honor 9 Lite

Honor Malaysia recently announced their 4th Anniversary sales in Malaysia with savings of up to RM500 across all their ecommerce platforms including 11street, Lazada, Shopee and VMALL. The sales will be available all day on 9 April 2018 but certain device deals will have specific times to get them as you can see below.

While it's kinda unfortunate that we didn't get to see the honor 9 land in Malaysia officially, instead what we got was the honor 9 Lite from honor Malaysia. This is the company's first ever quad-camera device and for RM749 only, this is really a good bargain for a budget smartphone with a nice design. However, being a budget smartphone has its limitations as well. What limitations? Well, come on over to read more below if you want to know more.

Today, the Face Unlock update is officially available for the honor 7X smartphone, the honor 9 lite is also getting the update as well but will only have it on 3 April onwards via over-the-air (OTA) update.

Coming soon on 2 April 2018, honor Malaysia and Lazada Malaysia have just made a new partnership together and has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU). This initiative will allow the official honor store to be online officially on Lazada website.

In a bizarre partnership, honor Malaysia has announced its new collaboration with lifestyle fashion brand, TNTCo and Maybelline for the upcoming Fashion Festival promotion that will take place today (27 March 2018) on Shopee.com.my website. So what do the customers get out of this? Well, those who are getting the honor 9 Lite at Shopee honor Malaysia official shop today will be bringing home some Maybelline cosmetics set (bundle price at RM749) However, just keep in mind that there's no longer the RM699 discount like a few days ago and this applies to the first 150 customers only.

The Neffos N1 is TP-Link’s first smartphone in their portfolio to pack in a 12MP + 12MP dual rear camera with one of them being a monochrome sensor. Going for a slim metal body and midrange tech specs, the RM1099 priced smartphone was also globally launched from Malaysia along with the Neffos C7 and Neffos C5A. Other tech specs include a MediaTek Helio P25 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and we see how this metal-bodied midranger measures up in our Neffos N1 review below.

So this is the honor 9 Lite smartphone, the one that did a new online sales record for honor Malaysia thanks to its affordable RM699 promotion sale that time (RRP is RM749). With that being said, this device has a quad-camera setup with two on each side, sporting a shiny body back and runs on basic tech-specs of 3GB + 32GB memory, Kirin 659 chipset, 3000mAh and more. You can check out the rest of the tech-specs here and also, our unboxing and hands-on video below!

So after today's honor 9 Lite's last Shocking Sales campaign, honor Malaysia is proud to announce their latest device has broken an all-new record sales in the smartphone category on Shopee and vMall, selling over 2500 units in a total of six hours. This also marks honor Malaysia's best selling online model ever.

Due to the popularity of the honor 9 Lite, Shopee will once again organize another Shocking Sale promo this coming Wednesday (14 March 2018) for RM699 at 9AM. As always, the phone will be available in both Glacier Grey and Sapphire Blue and it will also be available at VMALL.my so we hope you won't miss this chance again. In addition, there's another way to win a free honor 9 Lite and all you have to do is just take a selfie pic with your BFF. Here's how to enter the BFF Selfie Contest:

Motorola is one of the smartphone brands that like to release multiple models to cater to different type of customers. Some users don't need such a powerful device, some just want nice camera features, and some just want a simple phone that has good network call and text without costing them a limb or other internal organs. In this review, we take a look at the Moto G5S Plus, the spiritual successor of the Moto G5 Plus which I enjoyed using (check out the review here) and we will see if this mid-range phone is worth your pocket money or not.
