Moto G launched in Malaysia-RM698

The Moto G which was just launched in Malaysia is an affordable Android smart phone with impressive hardware in its class. Priced at RM698 for 8GB and RM798 for the 16GB storage version, the Moto G comes with a decent 4.5″ IPS HD display that does 1280×720 pixels resolution which is toughen with Gorilla Glass 3. Underneath it runs on a rather capable Quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB of RAM and supports dual-SIM cards.
You’ll also get a 5MP camera that shoots 720p HD videos and a secondary 1.3MP camera at the front. Juicing up the Moto G is a 2,070mAh battery which is actually quite decent for its class and overall it weighs 143 grams with a thickness of 11.6mm. The battery is non-removable and unfortunately it lacks micro-SD slot. Currently the Moto G runs on Android 4.3 but it will be upgraded to the latest Android 4.4. KitKat pretty soon.
Overall, it is quite a bargain considering it packs a decent 4.5″ display, quad-core processor and 16GB storage below RM800. As comparison, the similarly equipped HTC One mini costs nearly twice as much. If that’s not enough, they are also throwing in free additional 50GB cloud storage on Google drive for 2 years.
The Moto G is currently distributed by Brightstar and for those wish to secure a unit can pre-order through Lazada until 20th January. Early birds will get Motorola Flip Shell and a screen protector worth RM128 and RM18 respectively. The Moto G will officially go on sale on 21st of January which they will bundle a Motorola Shell worth RM78 along with its screen protector. If you don’t fancy getting it through Lazada, participating dealers and telcos will be offering it as well from 21st January onward.

U Mobile refreshes Postpaid Plan with unlimited mobile internet and free calls within U Mobile

U Mobile which recently introduced commercial 4G LTE services has just refreshed its postpaid line up for the new year. The new Unlimited Plan offers Unlimited Mobile Internet and Unlimited Calls to anyone on U Mobile in the form of Unlimited 50 & Unlimited 80. These 2 plans replaces the previous U58 & U88 postpaid plans while its lowest U28 plan still remains with 1GB of data and 300 SMS (100 within U Mobile & 200 to other networks).
In terms of data quota, nothing much has changed with Unlimited 50 bundling 2GB of data and Unlimited 80 with 3GB at full 4G LTE speeds. Upon hitting your monthly limit, there’s no excess charge but speeds will be reduced. For phone calls, both plans come bundled with Unlimited calls within U Mobile and limited free calls to other networks. On Unlimited 50, it comes with 100 free minutes to other networks while Unlimited 80 offers 200 free minutes and 100 SMS. When compared with their previous U58 & U88 plans, the amount of calls & SMS to other networks have been reduced in favour for unlimited free calls within their network.
If you have multiple devices or plan to share the data quota with someone, both plans are entitled for supplementary Member Plan at RM10/month per SIM. Apart from sharing mobile data, each SIM also gets additional 100 minutes and 200 minutes of calls to any network respectively under Unlimited 50 & Unlimited 80 main subscriptions. More details on that here.
Another Unlimited highlight is their low RM30/day unlimited international data roaming across 8 countries in Asia including Singapore, China & Hong Kong. You can check out more details on their data roaming partners here.
Head after the jump for the full plan details.

All-New 2014 Honda City Launched In India: Five Variants From Rs 8.62 lakh (RM45k)

India has become the first country in the world to launch, sell and manufacture the all-new fourth-generation 2014 Honda City. Offered in five variants which now includes a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel (nothing we’ll see here), the all-new Honda City has a starting price of Rs. 8.62 lakh to Rs.10.98 lakh (RM45,445 to RM57,887 when directly converted to Malaysian Ringgit).
Before the new Honda City does make an appearance in our country later this year, here’s a quick overview of what you can expect from the fourth-gen B-segmenter: Performance:
Having mentioned the first-time inclusion of a diesel i-DTEC engine, you can now ignore it. The diesel City and its six-speed manual transmission promises just 3.8l/100km in fuel consumption, but Malaysia is very, very unlikely to be slated to have the option.
As for what will come here, Honda will be introducing a slightly improved version of the existing 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine from the current City, and with that stands 117hp, and a choice of a five-speed manual (5.6l/100km) or a CVT transmission with a torque converter (5.5l/100km).
Exterior Design:
The new City is instantly recognisable as part of Honda’s current design language. You’ll see this in the front when the solid wing face chrome grille initiates the new design, which is garnished by 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, front fog lamps, a shark fin antenna on the roof, and an electric sunroof – for starters.
Overall, the new Honda City puts up a good fight against its arch nemesis, the Toyota Vios, for the title of the prettiest Japanese B-segmenter.

ASUS announces ZenFone 4, 5, 6 smart phones. Coming soon to Malaysia

ASUS which has built its reputation of making convergence devices with the PadFone & FonePad has just released a range of dedicated ZenFone smart phones for 2014. The ASUS ZenFone series come in 4 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch display sizes and runs on Intel’s Atom processors. Design wise, it looks rather similar to the PadFone smart phones we’ve seen and the front design somewhat resembles closely to one of its Taiwanese smart phone competitors.

ASUS ZenFone 6

Leading the pack is the ASUS ZenFone 6 which comes with a 6″ 720p HD IPS display (245ppi) and runs on an Intel 2GHz dual-core Z2580 processor mated with 1GB (2GB on certain variants). On-board there’s a choice of either 8GB or 16GB of storage with expansion made possible with a microSD slot. Over at the back, the ZenFone 6 main camera is 13MP f/2.0 unit with PixelMaster and audio is boosted by their very own SonicMaster technology. For conference calls and self-shots, there’s a 2MP shooter at the front.


Another interesting feature for the ZenFone 6 is PenTouch & GloveTouch. Like its name suggest, this allows you to use a normal pen to scribble as a stylus which is similar to what is being offered with the Xperia Z Ultra.
Since this is a phablet device, it packs a large 3,230mAh battery and overall it weighs 200 grams with a thickness of 9.9mm at the thickest point. It runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (upgradable to Android 4.4 KitKat) but unfortunately lacks 4G LTE connectivity. The ZenFone 6 is available in 4 colours – Black, White, Red and Gold.

ASUS ZenFone 5

Next in line is the ZenFone 5 which is similar to the ZenFone 6 except for a smaller 5″ IPS display. Just like the bigger sibling, it also runs on an Intel 2GHz dual-core Atom processor with 1GB of RAM. The 5″ display also pushes the same 1280×720 display resolution but with a more dense display of 294ppi due to its compact 5″ size.

It’s camera gets a notch down with a 8MP main shooter while the front retains the same 2MP camera. On-board it gets 4GB of storage which is also expandable with microSD. The battery has also been reduced as well to a smaller 2,050mAh battery and overall it weighs 140 grams and is 10.3mm thick. In terms of colours, it is similar to the ZenFone 6 but comes with an additional Blue colour.

ASUS ZenFone 4

At the bottom of the series, the ZenFone 4 fills up the entry level segment with a smaller 4″ display that does WVGA resolution of 800×480 and runs on a much lower Intel Atom 1.2GHz Z2520 dual-core processor. It is mated with 1GB of RAM and on-board comes with 4GB of storage which also can be expanded with microSD. It also packs a 5MP camera and a front facing VGA camera.

The battery is a rather paltry 1,170mAh capcity unit which is very little even for today’s smart phone standards. However unlike the other 2 bigger ZenFone models, the battery on the ZenFone 4 is removable. Overall it weighs 115 grams and has a thickness of 11.2mm.

Powering the device is a dual-core 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6572 processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage which can be expanded with microSD. Over at the front, the 5″ display pushes 854×480 pixels resolution which is about 195ppi.

For better pictures, the main camera comes with 5-elements f/2.4 lens and a sensor with 1.4 micron pixel size. On-board the Liquid Z5 packs a rather generous 2,000mAh battery and overall it weighs 147 grams with a respectable thickness of 8.8mm. Out of the box, it runs on an older Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
It is announced to be rolled out in selected European markets for 169 Euros (approximately RM750) beginning mid-January. Colour wise, it is available in either Essential White and Gentle Grey colour and so far they haven’t released any details on world-wide availability.
Acer isn’t just working on entry to mid level phones as they have a high-end devices in their line up as well. Hopefully they would bring in their Liquid S2 which offers 6″ Full HD display and powered by a more uprated 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.
