    vivo V60 Shines in Berry Purple at KL Fashion Week 2025

    vivo Malaysia is turning the page to an exciting new chapter in smartphone design and innovation with the highly anticipated debut of the vivo V60, unveiled ahead of its official launch at KL Fashion Week 2025. The stylish new model makes a striking first appearance in collaboration with renowned Malaysian designer Kit Woo, fusing cutting-edge tech with high fashion on one of the country’s biggest runways.

    At the heart of this launch is the vivo V60’s signature colour, Berry Purple — a bold, sophisticated hue that captures attention with its soft, refined tones and vibrant energy. It’s the perfect expression of personal style for trendsetters who crave both elegance and individuality. The V60 also comes in Mist Gray and Summer Blue, giving users stylish options to reflect their mood and personality.

    Designed with both aesthetics and usability in mind, the vivo V60 delivers a seamless blend of form and function. Its ultra-slim bezels — measuring just 1.91 mm at the top, 1.86 mm at the sides, and 2.41 mm at the bottom — create an immersive edge-to-edge display that invites you in from the moment you unlock the phone. The 3D curved screen flows naturally into the frame, while a 41° golden arc on each corner adds a sense of visual harmony, making the device as stunning to look at as it is to hold.

    The build is not just sleek — it’s smart. A streamlined center frame connects the dual micro-curved front and back covers for a unified, modern silhouette. Whether you’re scrolling, watching, or gaming, the vivo V60 offers an ergonomic grip that feels weightless and natural in your hand, delivering a silky-smooth experience throughout your day.

    The collaboration with Kit Woo marks a bold move for vivo Malaysia into the world of high fashion. Known for his experimental silhouettes and avant-garde aesthetic, Kit Woo is a force in Malaysian fashion, redefining everyday wear through volume, structure, and self-expression. His fearless approach to design aligns seamlessly with vivo’s vision: pushing boundaries through bold ideas, whether in fashion or technology.

  • Galaxy Z Flip7 Unveiled: The Next Chapter in Pocketable Innovation

    Galaxy Z Flip7 Unveiled: The Next Chapter in Pocketable Innovation

    Samsung Electronics has once again redefined foldable innovation with the official debut of the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE at Galaxy Unpacked 2025 in Brooklyn. With a sleek, compact design and smarter AI-powered features, the Galaxy Z Flip7 sets a new benchmark for flip-style smartphones.

    The Galaxy Z Flip7 boasts the largest FlexWindow in the series yet a 4.1-inch cover screen with ultra-slim bezels measuring just 1.25mm. This near full-cover display makes it easier than ever to check notifications, reply to messages, and access widgets all without unfolding the device.

    Flip open to reveal a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display, delivering immersive visuals with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Vision Booster for clear viewing in any lighting condition.

    Encased in a durable Armor Aluminum frame with a stronger, slimmer Armor FlexHinge, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is the most compact and portable yet. Its sleek profile houses a robust 4,300 mAh battery the biggest in the Flip series supporting up to 31 hours of video playback on a single charge.

    The Galaxy Z Flip7 is powered by One UI 8, delivering intelligent features that adapt to your lifestyle. The FlexWindow now supports multimodal AI interactions, enhancing productivity even when the device is folded.

    Users can quickly access updates with Now Brief, or activate Google Gemini Live by holding the power button offering real-time assistance for travel, dining, weather, and even outfit suggestions using the device’s camera.

    With seamless AI integration and thoughtful design, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is more than a foldable it’s a pocket-sized smart companion that fits effortlessly into any routine.

  • [Galaxy Unpacked 2025] Galaxy Z Fold7 Revealed: A New Chapter in Foldable Innovation

    [Galaxy Unpacked 2025] Galaxy Z Fold7 Revealed: A New Chapter in Foldable Innovation

    At Galaxy Unpacked 2025, held in Brooklyn, Samsung Electronics officially introduced the Galaxy Z Fold7, marking yet another milestone in the evolution of foldable smartphones. As the thinnest and lightest model in the Fold series to date, the Galaxy Z Fold7 combines sophisticated hardware refinement with powerful new AI capabilities and camera enhancements, pushing the boundaries of what a foldable phone can offer.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 measures just 4.2 millimeters when unfolded and 8.9 millimeters when folded, weighing only 215 grams. Despite housing a cover screen and a complex hinge mechanism, the device feels remarkably slim even thinner than a typical passport or card wallet and is more comfortable than ever to carry. This compactness is achieved without sacrificing durability, thanks to the newly developed Armor FlexHinge. The upgraded hinge design not only maintains structural integrity but also significantly minimizes the visibility of the crease along the folding display.

    Photography takes a major leap forward with the Galaxy Z Fold7, which features the series’ first 200-megapixel main camera. This is a massive upgrade from the previous 50MP sensor, offering four times the detail for crisp, vibrant images. With the integration of Samsung’s AI-powered ProVisual Engine, users can enjoy enhanced sharpness, better color accuracy, and more dynamic low-light performance through Nightography. The front camera now boasts a wider 100-degree field of view, making it easier to capture wide-angle selfies and group shots while fully utilizing the expansive display.

    Samsung’s latest foldable also introduces a new AI experience through One UI 8, bringing contextual awareness into everyday usage. Through a collaboration with Google’s Gemini Live, users can engage in real-time conversations with an AI assistant that understands the content displayed on the screen. Whether identifying an unfamiliar dish in a photo or suggesting nearby restaurants and setting calendar reminders, Gemini performs tasks fluidly without requiring users to switch between apps. The multitasking capabilities of the Galaxy Z Fold7 enhance this feature even further, enabling users to display two apps side by side and receive AI-driven insights that consider both screens simultaneously. This multimodal interaction through text, voice, image, and camera input makes the Galaxy Z Fold7 not only intelligent, but intuitive in the way it supports daily tasks.

    The Galaxy Z Fold7 goes beyond incremental updates, representing a full reimagining of mobile experiences. With a premium design, cutting-edge hardware, advanced AI features, and an industry-leading camera system, the Fold7 delivers on Samsung’s promise of an ultra-premium device that fits seamlessly into modern life.

    Malaysian customers will be able to purchase the Galaxy Z Fold7, along with the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE, starting 1 August 2025 at Samsung.com and participating retail stores. Pre-orders are available now until 31 July 2025, with prices starting from RM3,999. Customers who pre-order can also enjoy added protection through Samsung Care+, which covers accidental damage, repairs, and replacements for greater peace of mind.
