The newcomer of the smartphone world OnePlus has confirmed the OnePlus 2nd generation for 2015. And the OnePlus Two release date can be in the third quarter of this year. Recently, OnePlus CEO, Peter Lau, has asked people how much they want for the OnePlus Two price if it is accompanied by Snapdragon 810 processor.

OnePlus Two Price:

A lot of consumers commented and suggested many numbers for OnePlus Two. Mr. Lau replied that 2,499.99 Yuan looks possible. At current exchange rates, that would mean the OnePlus Two price in Malaysia is about RM1,450. Do you think that is reasonable?

OnePlus Two Specs:

Unlike OnePlus One, the OnePlus 2nd generation might be smaller. According to previous news, it is expected to have 2K display of 5.5-inch or 6-inch and at least 3GB RAM. Additionally, 2.5D glass, metal frame and fingerprint scanner are also what people want to see on the device.

This has not been confirmed yet, but it seems like OnePlus has listened to what buyers want. OnePlus is on its way reaching for more markets internationally and heading to Malaysia. Although there is no official OnePlus 2 release date in Malaysia, we still eagerly look forward to such a great smartphone, just like what OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has stated that OnePlus Two will “surprise people”.

Now, it is your turn to say the OnePlus Two price in Malaysia you want.

After the announcement of Xiaomi Mi Note Pro and Mi Note in the middle of January this year, Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has finally met people in person.

The Mi Note Pro release date was on May 6. Many of us were so excited to know its launch in China with the price at 2,999 Yuan, which is under what was announced in January. So, maybe Xiaomi Mi Note Pro Malaysia Price would be around RM1,730 or even below.

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro Specs:

This incredible smartphone is considered as one of the best hardware currently including 5.7-inch QHD with 515 PPI and an octa-core 64bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC clocked at 2.5GHz. Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is also helped by the Adreno 430 GPU, 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage, and a pair of 13MP camera (Sony IMX214 sensor) with OIS, and 4MP front camera with 2-micron pixels.

Talking about Xiaomi Mi Note Pro battery, 3090mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 won’t let you down. Besides, it is equipped with Android 5.0 with MIUI on top, plus Bluetooth 4.1,Wi-Fi ac, LTE Category 9 Connectivity and hardware-optimized Hi-Fi audio.

In addition, the Mi Note Pro has got really remarkable benchmark scores from CFBench and Antutu which seem to beat the HTC M9 and LG G4. This all sounds very interesting. About the heat-management issues that Snapdragon 810 has been dealing with so far, Xiaomi announces that they found some solution for that. We’ll just have to wait and see whether it works.

With those information, Xiaomi Mi Note Pro specs and price can even challenge other competitors out there, from more established brands like Samsung S6. This is likely to promise Xiaomi another fast selling hit this year.

However, no words made for the availability of Mi Note Pro Malaysia or in other places outside China. Yet we all know that Xiaomi is selling its products not only in China but also many other countries in Asia, so we can look forward to this powerful flagship in the near future.

How about you? Do you want Xiaomi Mi Note Pro Malaysia?

We know that Sony Z4 is still on the way to the smartphone market while the next generation – Sony Xperia Z5, is exposed. Some foreign media recently has announced that together with Z5 Compact and Z5 Ultra, Sony Z5 release date can be at the fourth quarter of the year. That makes us wonder what the Sony Xperia Z5 price in Malaysia is. 

Other beautiful smartphones from Sony beside the Xperia lines

Sony Xperia Z5 Design and Specs:

Besides, they also insist that Sony Xperia Z5 is going to be a masterpiece. It will adopt a new premium metallic design with a completely clean front end and a frosted glass effect, inspired by the recent BRAVIA television sets. Also, Z5 is going to have its iconic logo moved to one side, not on the front any more. It is said that the whole Sony Z5 will be prettier than the iPhone 6. As a result, people are really looking forward to its appearance.

Moreover, it is expected that Z5 will boast a QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, and pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM.

Unlike Z4, Sony Z5’s sides will be thicker and may use the previous smartphone Sony Ericsson mobile phone retro design, which Z5 Ultra and Z5 Compact will also take. Z5 body lock screen button will be integrated fingerprint recognition and the latest Sony camera featuring a 21-megapixel rear cam and a new IMX230 sensor with OIS.

However, everything is not for sure yet at this point. The above images are fan renders’, not the official product. With such beautiful look and great specs, Sony Xperia Z5 promises to bring consumers good experience.

Recently, a news has been announced that Xiaomi is planning to produce Mechanical Keyboard. It means they would join a race to compete with Cherry.

Xiaomi Keyboard vs Cherry Keyboard

However, everything does not stop here!

Cherry has directly replied to Xiaomi that their mechanical keyboard price in Malaysia is just RM199. And Cherry thinks that it is a smaller number compared to Xiaomi price for keyboard. Then Xiaomi fought back. They said that if Cherry can supply keyboard, Xiaomi keyboard price in Malaysia also can reach around RM199 if launched here as well.

With this information, consumers are quite looking forward to seeing how Xiaomi keyboard can compete with Cherry one. So, if you want a keyboard, which brand would you like to choose? Cherry or Xiaomi?

Microsoft Lumia 940 and Microsoft Lumia 940 XL are both unannounced, so that we can’t have any idea of how they look like.

Microsoft 10 comes pre-installed with a 3250 mAh battery keeping the light on. New tech that can be found on the handset are super-fast charging, Intel Realsense 3D and 3D-touch technology.

The phablet Microsoft Lumia 940 XL is bigger than the original Lumia 940 with 5.7” 2K super AMOLED clearblack display and the outdoor visibility.

Both new Microsoft Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL release date are expected to be no later than June 2015 when Microsoft allegedly debut the new Windows 10 OS, which now appears only as Technical Preview.

As we know, there are many interesting characters in Avengers like Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, etc., but the first Samsung Galaxy S6 Avengers to be released at the end of May or the beginning of June will be Iron Man version with red color.

This news is like a response to the rumor that Samsung is considering releasing Samsung Galaxy S6 Avengers versions with many color options representing all the characters, which means the consumers can choose their favorite one. However, the manufacturer has not made their final decision yet, so we should look forward to that after the Samsung S6 Iron Man is on sale.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Iron Man Version

Although the news has been spread out, we have to wait for Samsung to officially unveil the Iron Man version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Avengers. Meanwhile, let’s have a look at the fan renders of not only Iron Man Galaxy S6 edge but also other heroes in Avengers.

In smartphone realm, it is becoming crowded with the launch of new Chinese devices, including Huawei Honor 6 Plus, upcoming Asus Zenfone 2 4GB, Oneplus One going globally and the newly-introduced Xiaomi Mi 4 3G for Malaysia market.
All are considered as premium products equipped with top-end specs but reasonable price. Now, we give you a glance comparison over the specs and prices of these phones. We hope this will help you choose the most appropriate one for yourself.

Considering the specs, all four have nearly top-of-the-line specs. Among these four, considering the battery life, Huawei Honor 6 Plus is the winner when being equipped with a generous 3600 mAh battery. Camera in the Huawei Honor 6 plus is a worth noticing when featuring dual 8MP camera out back.

As far as we concerned about the cost effectiveness, Asus Zenfone 2 4GB RAM is leading the game for costing you only RM 1099. This is the world’s first smartphone to feature 4GB RAM and it is making global bang.

One year ago, if you want to possess the “flagship killer” Oneplus One, we needed to have an invite. But from April 23rd, we can say it “Farewell to Invites”. Powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 2.5GHz quad-core processor is the only field that Oneplus One has the advantage as it has been launched for 1 year.

Though having high-end processor, Xiaomi Mi 4 3G is not judged as an appealing phones since the pirce RM 1199 seems quite high for non-4G-support device. Futhermore, the ROM is just 16GB without memory card slot. For Malaysian market, the company just released the 3G version due to the lack of local 4G support.

Overall, please notice that this is just a private opinion. Should you have other points of view, don’t hesitate to share with us in the comment below.
