It's been a while since we last heard of HONOR and we are expecting some new products coming this year as an independent brand. According to sources, an HONOR executive has confirmed that a new HONOR Play series phone will be releasing in May.

With HONOR 20 releasing in Malaysia for a couple of days now, HONOR Malaysia is also announcing some new OS updates for its smartphone lineup which include EMUI 9.1 and Magic UI 2.1. The Magic UI 2.1 is only for the HONOR View20, though, while EMUI 9.1 will be coming out on nine HONOR devices. 

HONOR Malaysia recently announced that they’ll be throwing a sales party for their fans in conjunction with their 5th Anniversary in Malaysia. Beginning from 21 June 2019 to 31 July 2019, the sales party will cover the HONOR View20, 20 Lite, 8X, 10 Lite, 8c, 7s and more. The biggest discount for walk-in customers appears to be for the View20 going from RM2499 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version to RM1999 for up to RM500 in savings along with a free selfie stick and HONOR backpack.

While the MWC 2019 is still going on, we have some local tech promo news to bring to you. Starting today until 3 March 2019, HONOR Malaysia is treating all customers a Pay Day Sale where you can own a smartphone (selected models on discount!) and freebies exclusively on hihonor.com/my.

26th of January is the day the HONOR View20 will be hitting Malaysian markets which is only mere days away after its launch in Paris. To celebrate, HONOR will be having their largest roadshow yet at the Ground Floor of High Street in 1 Utama Shopping Center starting from 9.30AM. Early birds will be eligible to receive over RM700 worth of goodies.

We’ve missed out on the original Razer Phone but we’re not missing out on the Razer Phone 2! 15th of January is the date Razer has teased for the iconic gaming smartphone to be launched here in Malaysia.

Gaming smartphones are the trend right now. With many playing games from PUBG Mobile to Mobile Legends to Asphalt 9, there’s no wonder the demand for these kinds of smartphones continue to grow. What’s more interesting is that these smartphones began to evolve to somewhat of a hybrid between a super phone and even a gaming desktop.

The Huawei Mate 20 X is priced at RM3199 with tech specs of 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Now would that pack a punch for gaming? Well, read on to find out.

Why not start the New Year with a brand new smartphone from HONOR? They are having a promotion on selected smartphones such as the HONOR 10 and HONOR Play starting from the 1st of January next year. To sweeten the deal, they are throwing in some free gifts as well at selected HONOR stores. Do take note that this promotion is while stocks last only with standard terms and conditions. 

When rumours of a new ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M2 were floating around, my first thought was that the successor was too soon should it ever be true. And true enough, ASUS officially launched another budget-friendly smartphone in Indonesia where we got to have a first look of the device. I played with it for a couple of days and after two weeks, here's our review on the pros and cons of the ZenFone Max Pro M2.

As we move towards the end of 2018, we have definitely witnessed the trend of the battle of the mid-range smartphones in Malaysia. A keen observer would notice that smartphone brands are catering to selfie lovers with aggressive prices and respectable tech specs. Samsung is no stranger to this as they are starting to shift towards its Galaxy A series on this, and the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is certainly an eye-catching device.

It was with great honour that Samsung has chosen Malaysia as the official global launching spot for the Galaxy A7 (2018) and the Galaxy A9 (2018) with a triple camera and quadruple camera setup respectively. However, at the time of writing we only had the Galaxy A7 (2018), so here goes the review!
