Is Heyup a new smartphone brand? Nope, it's a new tech gadget distributor and the brand has collaborated with a few smartphone brands to help sell their gadgets. We also have a special RM20 voucher just for you all but before we get to that, here are some things you should know about Heyup. 

ZTE today released the ZTE Blade V40 Vita in Malaysia, the latest smartphone in its Blade Series. Aiming to deliver one of the best bang-for-buck devices in the affordable smartphone market, the Blade V40 Vita is priced at just RM599 in our country.

Not everyone can afford some of the technology that we enjoy today. Despite entry-level smartphones and some broadband packages being relatively cheap, there are still people who can't put out the money for it. That could be a big reason why ZTE and Celcom teamed up to distribute them.

Under-display cameras are still pretty much in development and so far, the ZTE Axon 20 is the only commercial smartphone that has it. Currently, ZTE is working on a 2nd Gen under-display camera and we got a first look at the prototype thank to leakster, Digital Chat. 

Based on a statement by gizchina, it seems that ZTE and Huawei will take the lead in the development of 6G technology in China. While not much is known in regards to when the technology will be officially available for use, estimations suggest that it should be ready somewhere around 2030.

When we talk about the under-screen camera, we must not forget that ZTE is the first smartphone maker to bring the technology into the market with the Axon 20. After making such a brave move, the company is reportedly working on the next-gen under-screen camera.

As if HUAWEI hasn't suffered enough consequences from the trade ban, a new issue has come with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) made an official announcement to order telecom providers in the United States to remove all equipment from HUAWEI and ZTE. The announcement was posted by FCC's official Twitter account on 11 December.

Based on a statement by androidheadlines, it seems that ZTE could be the first smartphone manufacturer to unveil a smartphone to come equipped with an under-display selfie camera. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date of the smartphone, our source did mention that the device was spotted on TENAA with the codename ZTE A2121.

For several months now, the tension between the US government and Huawei have not been going anywhere. This of course led to a ban on using Google Mobile Services on their smartphones, but the smartphone brand have been adapting well with their own Huawei Mobile Services (slowly). However, it seems that their fate has been sealed by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as the company along with ZTE are considered national security threats.

The HUAWEI Ban was signed in May 2019 declaring a national security risk emergency that banned U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by Chinese firms has not come to an end yet. President Donald Trump has just announced another year of extension on the ban until May 2021.
