The Malaysian mid-range smartphone market is about to get a whole lot more competitive. We’ve just spotted that pre-orders for the highly anticipated iQOO Z11 series have officially gone live, suggesting a massive shift in the price-to-performance ratio for local gamers and power users. Double Trouble: Z11 and Z11x As per our latest findings, the lineup features two distinct models: the standard iQOO Z11 and its sibling, the iQOO Z11x.

The Luxury MPV Segment Just Got a High-Voltage Jolt The electric vehicle landscape in Malaysia is evolving rapidly, and while SUVs usually dominate the conversation, the luxury MPV segment is where the real innovation is happening. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Zeekr 009, and the latest developments suggest that this premium people-mover is about to set a new benchmark for the industry with a massive 900V electrical architecture upgrade.

A Major Level-Up for Northern Region EV Owners In our continuous coverage of Malaysia’s evolving electric vehicle (EV) landscape, we’ve just seen a massive win for drivers in the Northern region. Gentari has officially powered up its latest and most ambitious EV charging hub in Penang, strategically located at Petronas Bayan Baru. This isn’t just another roadside charger.

The mechanical keyboard landscape in Malaysia is more competitive than ever, but certain designs stand the test of time. Today, we are excited to unveil the Logitech G512 X, a sophisticated evolution of the iconic G512 series that has graced the desks of local gamers for years. This isn’t just a minor refresh; it’s a focused upgrade on the core tactile experience that enthusiasts have been asking for.

The local retail landscape in Malaysia just took a massive leap forward today. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the rollout of contactless payment technologies, and we can now officially confirm that Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone has finally landed on our shores. Your iPhone is Now a Payment Terminal This is a game-changer for everyone from the weekend market vendors at Pasar Seni to high-end boutique owners in Bangsar.

The Ultimate Compact Tablet is Finally Here For the longest time, the compact tablet market has felt like a bit of an afterthought, with most brands focusing on massive 12-inch slabs that are great for desks but a pain to hold in one hand. Today, we’re looking at a serious shift in that trend. Huawei has officially brought the MatePad Mini to Malaysian shores, and it’s packing some display technology that puts its larger siblings to shame.

The Budget Segment Gets a Serious Contender As the smartphone market in Malaysia continues to shift towards high-end 5G devices, there remains a massive demand for reliable, affordable entry-level phones that don’t compromise on the essentials. My latest findings suggest that Xiaomi is preparing to fill that gap with the upcoming Redmi A7 Pro. While the standard Redmi A-series has traditionally focused on the bare basics, the ‘Pro’ moniker here indicates a significant step up.

For years, the conversation around Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Malaysia has been dominated by luxury price tags and high-end SUVs. But as we look at the changing landscape of our city streets, the real revolution might actually be much smaller. Enter the Honda Super One, a fully electric Kei car that I believe is the exact solution Malaysian urban commuters have been waiting for. Practicality Meets Electric Efficiency The Honda Super One isn’t trying to be a long-distance cruiser.

The Double-Edged Sword of EV Subscriptions As the electric vehicle (EV) wave continues to sweep across Malaysia, the infrastructure supporting it is evolving rapidly. However, a recent move by local charging provider ChargeSini has sparked a heated debate among the community. While subscription models are usually designed to offer better value to frequent users, their latest plan raises a critical question: are we inadvertently encouraging ‘charger hogging’?
