Starting out quietly and ending with a bang, this week's Weekly TechNave highlights included the shockingly affordable Malaysia pricing for the Huawei P9 and P9 Lite along with Google I/O 2016 which revealed Android N, Daydream VR and a host of other features. The ASUS ZenFone 3 rumours have started up as well including an official teaser video, benchmarks and more while Lenovo announced their moto G4 series of smartphones.

In conjunction with Google I/O 2016, Xiaomi have announced their Mi Box device based on Android TV 6.0. It will support 4K and HDR video playback along with apps. Powered by a quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage tech specs and featuring Dolby Digital Plus and DTS Surround Sound, the Mi Box will be available in global markets (hopefully Malaysia too) soon. Xiaomi will also be one of the first to release a device for Android N's Daydream mobile VR platform.
