The anticipated  Nokia  smartphones are finally coming to Malaysia. HMD Global, the company  behind the revival  has sent out invites for a Malaysian launch that’s happening in less than two weeks from now. They will be introducing 3 smartphones in Malaysia – Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, that were  announced earlier  this year. Nokia 6 The Nokia 6 is currently their top of the line offering with a 5.5″ Full HD display and a pair of speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos.

It’s official, the Lumia 925 will be available in Malaysia starting August and will sell for RM1,799. First announced in May, the Lumia 925 features an aluminum frame wrapped around a polycarbonate body. In terms of hardware, the 925 is virtually identical to Lumia 920 with the same 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 processor with 1GB RAM and 2,000mAh battery. Where the 925 differs from the 920 is the display and camera. While the size of the display remains the same — 4.5-inch 1280×768 pushing out 331ppi — the Lumia 925 uses AMOLED where the 920 uses an LCD IPS panel. Also, the Gorilla Glass display with Nokia’s ClearBlack technology can be used even if you have gloves on. The 8.7MP camera with Optical Image Stabiliser is given a boost with a 6-element Zeiss optics lens instead of five on the Lumia 920. In addition, the Lumia 925 is lighter at 139 grams (Lumia 920: 185 grams) and smaller overall (in terms of height, width and thickness). Nokia’s built-in camera appl...

Looks like the leaked images and specs were spot on. The Lumia 625 is official and its calling card is the largest display ever put on a Nokia Windows Phone. But is it enough to make you want one? We don’t think so. With a 4.7-inch LCD display, the Lumia 625 is considered average in a market dominated by Android phones with large displays sporting 720p or full 1080p resolution. And the display isn’t particularly sharp either. Pushing out a lowly 201ppi with a 800×480 resolution, the Lumia 625 has one of the lowest pixel densities we’ve seen on a smartphone in recent months. On the up side, the display sports Gorilla Glass 2 and can be used even if you’re using gloves over your digits. Powering the Lumia 625 is a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4 processor with 512MB RAM and 8GB internal storage. Usable memory can be increased with a microSD card slot that takes cards up to 64GB and there’s also 7GB of cloud storage courtesy of Microsoft via SkyDrive. If you ask us, 7GB...

Nokia made the world 'wow' by introducing the Nokia PureView 808, a smartphone comes with 41 Megapixels image sensor! It captures image data from seven adjacent pixels and condenses it into one , resulting in stills at around 5 MP resolution but with amazing details! As the successor of the Nokia N8, which Nokia previously claimed that it's the best camera phone in the market, the PureView 808 has Carl Zeiss lens with Xenon flash, and video recording made better with a LED light, something the N8 lack of! Video recording is available in FullHD 1080p at 30 fps and also 720p@30fps . The large camera sensor definitely benefit when it comes to zooming in camera or video mode. There's a tiny price to pay for the huge camera sensor (which is 2.5X larger than N8) though. The PureView 808 measures 17.95mm at the thickest point, but I don't think it will burden any camera lovers out there! The PureView 808 runs on single-core 1.3 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and u...

At the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia Lumia 710 here in Malaysia last week, Sirpa Ikola Head of Smart Devices Product Marketing, Nokia SEA said that the white version of the Nokia Lumia 800 will be available locally but declined to give a firm date on when exactly the device will be released here. She did however indicate that Singapore will get the white Lumia 800 earlier and the device could be in Malaysia by the second half of the year. We think four months is too long a time to wait. June is when manufacturers are expected to make available in the market their new flagship devices, we’re expecting Nokia to have something to launch by then as well. So a white Lumia 800 is not going to fly in June. We feel that the white Lumia 800 will hit Nokia Stores in Malaysia sooner, possibly a month from now. In terms of pricing, the white version will not be priced differently from the other versions.
