News & Reviews:   raise

2026 already seems like all doom and gloom for the tech industry. Xiaomi's President and HONOR have already warned us about this due to the rising cost of memory chips. Today, Nothing co-founder Carl Pei took to X to warn that future smartphones may become more expensive, signalling a shift in industry dynamics that could reshape how devices are priced in the coming years.

HONOR has confirmed that it will increase prices across its tablet lineup in response to surging memory and storage chip costs, marking a shift in pricing strategy for one of the world’s more prominent consumer electronics brands. The announcement follows a similar move by Xiaomi, which earlier this month raised prices on several tablet models amid the same industry-wide pricing pressures.

Xbox's PC Game Pass has been in Malaysia for two years now. It's currently priced at RM15 per month but looks like the price will be increasing. According to the official document by Microsoft, the company will raise the monthly subscription prices in all markets starting on 12 September 2024.
