Google introduces customizable $35 cases for the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P


In the past, one of the biggest reasons to get a Nexus phone was because of vanilla android and the ability to get the next great version of Android from day 1. In the last couple of years, Google start making Nexus devices more competitive in terms of pricing and today, Google is once again putting up another reason for you to get a Nexus phone. 

Google is calling this Live Cases and the new $35 case available exclusively through the Google Store will enable you to build a custom case from your personal image and in addition to that, when the case is attached to either the Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X, the wallpaper will automatically match the case you have. Additionally, on the back of the case is also a secondary button that users can map to launch any application of their choice
This new concept is pretty interesting and it looks like Google got some inspiration from Motorola's Moto Maker interface as the Live Case design dashboard is pretty similar. At $35, this new Live Case is currently exclusive to both the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P and is also limited to regions which have access to the Google Store. Users can opt in to print their favorite photo on the case or a map so you don't end up getting lost.

Huawei's new P9 and P9 Plus come with a pair of cameras certified by Leica


In the last couple of weeks companies like Samsung and LG have unveiled their new flagship offerings for 2016 but the craze does not stop there as other android makers like HTC, Asus and Oppo are about to chime in. Today in particular, Huawei unveiled their flagship series for 2016. The Huawei P9 is the spiritual successor to the well acclaimed Huawei P8 from last year. If you think the LG G5's dual camera setup was cool, Huawei's new P9 and P9 Plus flagship comes with dual 12MP cameras that are "co-engineered" by Leica (a well established German camera maker).

While the (visor) back of the Huawei P9 amd P9 Plus features that slick looking Leica branding (a first for a smartphone), Huawei says that the dual camera setup is like no other. One of the two 12MP sensors will capture images in RGB and the other in monochrome and the images are combined to produce an image with accurate color representation. Huawei says they have implemented a new hybrid autofocus system to aid in taking quick photos and also a dedicated processing unit to measure depth. This will probably help to get better dynamic range in photos. And the best part about the Huawei P9's dual camera system compared to the one LG (or Samsung) is that the camera sits flush on the metal frame (basically means no awkward camera bump)



The first thing that is quite obvious about the Huawei P9 and Huawei P9 Plus is that the front design is reminiscent of the Huawei P8 from last year and the rear design is similar of the Huawei Nexus 6P. But unlike other android flagship android phones of 2016, the Huawei P9 series is unique in the sense that it is not powered by the Snapdragon 820 (Huawei opted to use an in-house developed SoC) and the Chinese firm decided to put a 1080P display on both the devices to improve battery life.

Additionally, Huawei is also touting that their new flagship phone, the P9 also comes with unrivaled hardware performance in terms of battery life, USB Type-C with a proprietary fast charging technology, stereo speaker, industry leading connectivity with a virtual triple antenna implementation and security with a new three-dimension fingerprint sensor on the back. Just like the trend is these days, there's also a slightly bigger variant of the Huawei P9 called the Huawei P9 Plus and that comes with a slightly bigger 5.5-inch (still) 1080P AMOLED display that features a pressure sensitive display.

Huawei will begin rolling out the Huawe P9 and Huawei P9 Plus later this month in Europe and also China for a starting price of €599 (~RM 2,660) and €749 (~RM 3,300) respectively. Expect to see the Huawe P9 launch in Malaysia by the 2Q of 2016.

Huawei's MateBook is the company's first Windows 10 device

While everyone else is announcing flagship android smartphone at Mobile World Congress 2016, Huawei in the other hand is taking the opportunity to launch their very first Windows 10 device called the Huawei MateBook. Mind you that the press image above and below is a little inaccurate as it is display the Windows 8 Start Screen but the Huawei MateBook itself actually ships with Windows 10. 

But going back to the MateBook itself, this device is Huawei's first Windows powered device and the 12-inch tablet weighs in at just 640g and is just 6.9mm thin. That makes the Huawei MateBook far more compact that Microsoft's own Surface Pro 4. Additionally, Huawei is also taking some inspiration from Microsoft's own Surface lineup by creating a keyboard cover and a pressure sensitive pen that works with the Huawei MateBook. 

The biggest difference here between the MateBook and Microsoft's own Surface lineup in general is that the MateBook actually comes with the keyboard cover and the MatePen (stylus) is actually an optional accessory. Huawei says the MatePen has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity and the pen also doubles as a laser pointer for presentations. 

Huawei MateBook Key Specifications

  • 12-inch 2160 x 1440 display
  • Intel Core M3/M5/M7(skylake)
  • 4/8GB RAM
  • 128GB - 512GB SSD storage
  • Windows 10 Home/Pro
  • 33.7Wh battery
  • grey/golden


While the Huawei MateBook does not have the hardware to do a face unlock like on the Surface Pro 4, Huawei has included a fingerprint sensor on the side of the MateBook which allows for biometric authentication. Additionally, Huawei claims that the 360-degree fingerprint reader on the MateBook is the fastest fingerprint recognition in the industry. 

The Huawei MateBook will be launched in Asia, Europe and North America in the coming months and the pricing for the various models is as below. 
  • Huawei MateBook Core m3 / 128GB / 4GB RAM - $699 (~ RM 2,940)
  • Huawei MateBook Core m3 / 256GB / 4GB RAM - $849 (~ RM 3,570)
  • Huawei MateBook Core m5 / 256GB / 8GB RAM - $999 (~ RM 4,200)
  • Huawei MateBook Core m5 / 512GB / 8GB RAM - $1,199 (~ RM 5,050)
  • Huawei MateBook Core m7 / 256GB / 8GB RAM - $1,399 (~ RM 5,880)
  • Huawei MateBook Core m7 / 512GB / 8GB RAM - $1,599 (~ RM 6,730)
  • Huawei MateBook Keyboard - $129 (~ RM 540)
  • Huawei MateBook MatePen - $59 (~ RM 250)
  • Huawei MateBook MateDock - $89 (~ RM 370)

Honor 5X with fingerprint scanner launches in Malaysia for RM 899


Huawei made some waves during CES 2016 a couple weeks back when they announced they will be bringing their lineup of smartphones to the US later this quarter. One of those devices is the Honor 5X which by Huawei's subsidiary company. But today, the company is launching the Honor 5X to the Malaysian market and the Honor 5X will be the perfect companion to the recently launched Honor Band Z1

Huawei Honor 5X Key Specifications: 

  • 5.5-inch 1080P IPS display
  • Snapdragon 615 CPU @ 1.5GHz
  • 16GB memory + microSD slot
  • 2GB RAM
  • 13MP f2.0 rear camera
  • 5MP front camera
  • 3,000mAh battery
  • 151.3 x 76.3 x 8.2mm (158g)
  • dual SIM LTE
  • EMUI 3.1

What makes the new Honor 5X impressive is not just it's RM 899 price tag but it is also about the features that the device brings to the table. The premium metal build is one thing but the fingerprint scanner on the back is something that you don't often see on a device this price. Compared to the OnePlus X or the original OnePlus One, the Honor 5X looks like a steal both in terms of pricing and also what you physically get.
To round things up, the Honor 5X is also a dual SIM LTE device and unlike other competing dual SIM devices out there, the Honor 5X relies on a dedicated microSD card slot so you don't sacrifice the second SIM slot for extra storage.

Honor Malaysia will start selling the honor Band Z1 on 19 January for RM 259


Just about everyone is going into the wearable market and Huawei subsidiary, Honor which unveiled their first 'smartwatch' late last year says that it'll be coming to Malaysia early next week. The honor Band Z1 is mostly like all the fitness trackers out there, it'll track your steps, track your sleep and just like a fitbit, you'll be able to receive notifications from the iOS or Android device that the device is paired with.

honor Band Z1 Key Specifications:

  • 1.06-inch 128x128 OLED display
  • Cortex M4 STM32F411 CPU
  • 128KB RAM
  • 70mAh battery
  • iOS/Android
  • IP68 certification
  • 229.4 x 38 x 9.5mm
  • 25g

While this is not a high end wearable like the Huawei Wactch, it does come with a touch OLED display that is not something you see too much in this price point. Usually it's just button and a few simple LEDs. But the honor Band Z1 not only has a circular round display to make it look normal on your hands, the device itself is IP68 certified meaning you can bring it on to a swim and is rated to up to 10 metres of depth.


At just RM 259, the honor Band Z1 sounds like a pretty good deal compared to competing trackers from fitbit and misfit at the same price. Again, the honor Band Z1 will support both iOS and Android and will be offered in three colors which are white, khaki and black. Honor Malaysia will exclusively offer the honor Band Z1 next tuesday which is the 19th of January (2016) through their vmall.my online store at exactly 3.08PM. Probably an auspicious time of the day to start selling a wearable.

The Apple Watch (non-sport edition) also comes with a sapphire crystal display.

Huawei Nexus 6P arrives in Malaysia for RM 2,698


The trend on releasing two flagship smartphones have been set by Apple last year and this year Google is bucking up on that trend with the release of the LG made Nexus 5X and the Huawei made Nexus 6P. While the Nexus 5X is still not in the market, Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is officially launching the Nexus 6P in Malaysia.

A full metal anodized aluminum unibody, 3D curved glass, chamfered edges, a USB Type C charging port and Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The new Nexus 6P is not just a way to experience all the new additions to Android 6.0 Marshmallow but it retains all the premium grade hardware unlike previous Nexus devices.

Huawei Nexus 6P specifications

  • 5.7" QHD AMOLED display
  • Octa-core Snapdragon 810 v2.1 CPU
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 32/64/128GB memory
  • 12.3MP camera
  • 8MP front camera
  • 3,450mAh battery
  • 159 x 77.8 x 7.3mm (178g)
  • Aluminum or Graphite color

Beyond all the fancy hardware that Huawei has built, the Nexus 6P comes with a new sensor on the back called Nexus Imprint. It is basically a fingerprint scanner that is fine tuned with Android and things like authorizing and unlocking the device is now officially supported on Android so you can rest assured that you data is safe. This does include support for the Android Pay system but there is no support for a mobile payment system in Malaysia yet.

As for the price of this premium Android experience, Huawei Malaysia is pricing the Nexus 6P it at RM 2,698 which is a pretty odd number actually but this puts the new Nexus 6P in between all the flagship android smartphones in terms of pricing. But do note that this price is for the 64GB model and that the Nexus 6P will support LTE in malaysia.

The Nexus 6P will be available for purchase online starting December 10 through both Lazada and Vmall for RM 2,698 and the first 600 customers will receive a free Chromecast.

Huawei Mate 8 announced, new homegrown Kirin 950 SoC but same 1080P display


Huawei which is the latest manufacturer to join Nexus program has unveiled a brand new smartphone earlier today. Similar to the new Nexus 6P, the new Huawei Mate 8 is also a 6" phablet constructed from aluminum but this time around, Huawei has reduced the bezels on the front to make the Mate 8 easier to hold. However, with the new Huawei Mate 8, the company is focusing on it's performance as this is the first device to be powered by Huawei's own Kirin 950 SoC which is fabricated by HiSilicon.

Huawei Mate 8 Key Specifications:

  • HiSilicon Kirin 950 SoC
  • 3/4GB LPDDR4 RAM
  • 2.5D 6" 1080P IPS LCD
  • 32/64/128GB expandable storage
  • 16MP rear camera with OIS
  • 8MP front camera
  • 4,000mAh battery
  • EmotionUI 4.0
  • 157.1 x 80.6 x 7.9mm (185g)


The inclusion of the new octa core Kirin 950 SoC is probably the biggest change from it's predecessor, the Huawei Ascend Mate 7. Other hardware features like the 6" 1080P display and the storage configurations remain the same. Huawei didn't include a fancy new USB Type-C port on the new Mate 8 but it did cleaned up the design and improved the camera optics. The rear camera is now up from 13MP to a 16MP Sony sensor that features OIS and the front camera has also been bumped up to 8MP. Finally, the rear mounted fingerprint scanner is still there but it is now a round ring like the Nexus 6P.

Huawei says that the new Mate 8 will go on sale in China early next year and will be previewed during CES 2016. As for pricing, the new Huawei Mate 8 starts at ¥2,999 (~MYR 1,988) for the 32GB model with 3GB of RAM and ¥3,699 (~MYR 2,452) and ¥4,399 (MYR 2,916) respectively for the 64GB and 128GB models with 4GB of RAM. Expect to see the Huawei Mate 8 arrive in Malaysia early next year but don't expect it to be that lucrative by then as Samsung, HTC, and even Huawei might even unveil an even better device.
