Lenovo Malaysia has dropped a note to us that a Moto event is taking place on 29 May 2017. Following the release of its  Moto M  smartphone earlier this year, we believe this is likely to be the launch of the  Moto G5 Plus  which was introduced during  MWC 2017 .

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a  milestone  for smartphones. It has an unbelievable screen, incredible specs and a body to die for. But those are just the headlining features. If you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that this phone has yet another first. Bluetooth 5.0. Those of you who watched MKBHD’s  first impressions  video would probably have noticed it, but it hasn’t seen that much coverage so far. Samsung’s Galaxy S8 is indeed the first phone ever to feature Bluetooth 5.0 technology. Bluetooth on most outgoing phones currently are Bluetooth 4.2, a standard that was first announced about three years ago. With Bluetooth 5.0, things have been improved significantly. First up, this new standard is twice as fast as its predecessor with about four times the range. It’s also more robust, allowing Bluetooth 5.0 devices — like the Galaxy S8 and S8+ — to push audio to two separate wireless headphones at the same time, for example. Although it gets a significant b...

Microsoft‘s latest device is definitely something I did not expect. I thought we’d see a new Surface Pro or a new laptop. Instead, the Microsoft announces a brand new, ultra-thin all-in-one device.

You know what they say about too much of a good thing, which is why we decided to split  our 2016 Bangkok Motor Show ending post into two. With the brief of ‘one girl, one pic’ photographer Sherman Sim braved the crowds at Impact, snapped away, processed the pics and handed over his ‘Top 100’ of BIMS 2016. One hundred pics may be a bit  jelak , and we’re fans of  50:50 weight distribution , so there you go. Just like our time at the show, first things first – cars. The undisputed headlining act was  the new Honda Civic , which is available there in four variants (1.8 NA, 1.5 Turbo) and  Modulo accessories . Honda Malaysia has hinted at the radical tenth-gen car’s arrival this year, along with the  Accord facelift , which sees the D-segment sedan get a new face and new equipment.
