Smartphone

When was the last time we've ever heard from BlackBerry, really? Been quite some time, as far as I recall. Now, they're back with a brand new smartphone - the BlackBerry DTEK60. But this time it's not completely by BlackBerry themselves.

Wow. This is indeed a great achievement to be celebrated indeed. 9 million isn't a small figure too - and it only took them from April this year till today to get here. Of course, Huawei did organize an event to celebrate the Huawei P9's 9 million sales figure.

Today, we'll be taking a look at some of these smartphones available in the market. They all are below the RM1,500 price point, and it's interesting to see these are the most appealing choices now. Here are the smartphones - the ASUS ZenFone 3, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016), Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016), and also the OPPO F1s.

OPPO is really serious in expanding their sales here in Malaysia - and they're trying their best to become a household name. I really do commend OPPO though, as I've heard the word "OPPO" being thrown around quite often these past months since the release of the OPPO F1s that we've reviewed here. Then, they surpassed the 100k sales mark.

We think that you should know about the Honor Malaysia concept store without us mangling the news and retell the story. However, in short - Honor Malaysia has partnered with TF Mobile Enterprise to open up Honor's first ever concept store in Malaysia. It's located at Lowyat Plaza, in case you're wondering.

I suppose we've all heard about the Galaxy J series of smartphones by now. They're Samsung's entirely separate line of smartphones, aimed towards the market segment that's below RM 1,200. They're pretty good smartphones too - and Samsung is now expanding the series of smartphones!

Let's take a look at "Best Smartphone For November 2016". The ones that give the most bang for you buck. Last year, there was a big hiatus in flagship smartphones, thanks to the controversy surrounding Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chipset. Particularly, it's about the efficiency of that chipset - or lack thereof. It was a dark year for smartphones

And here I thought the Huawei Mate 9 will take forever to reach Malaysia! Apparently not - as the Huawei Mate 9 pre-order starts 15th November 2016, and the shipment starts 22nd November 2016. That's only a week away!

The LEAGOO T1 Plus is not smartphone that we get to see everyday that is created around the idea of selfies. The last we've seen was the OPPO F1s which we reviewed here, but the price of that is nearly double of the LEAGOO T1 Plus.
