    HONOR Magic V5 Draws Massive Weekend Crowd at Johor Bahru Flagship Store

    HONOR’s latest foldable flagship, the Magic V5, made a powerful debut over the weekend, capturing widespread attention across Malaysia. With impressive first weekend sales, the foldable device drew large numbers of customers to HONOR Experience Stores nationwide, especially at the newly opened flagship outlet in Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru.

    The launch weekend coincided with the grand opening of HONOR’s largest overseas Experience Store and Service Centre on 26 July. The new flagship location saw the highest foot traffic among HONOR outlets, as curious consumers packed the store to witness this milestone event. The opening ceremony was officiated by Justin Li, President of HONOR South Pacific, alongside Lee Fook Sin, Director of The Hello Station.

    In his remarks, Justin Li expressed pride in Malaysia’s role as the first country outside China to host HONOR’s largest Experience Store. “HONOR’s growth in Malaysia has been exceptional. Just last month, we celebrated the opening of our 100th store at KLCC. This new flagship store in Johor Bahru reflects our deep commitment to the Malaysian market, not only by offering innovative products like the Magic V5, but also by enhancing customer experience through premium after-sales service,” said Li. “We’re pleased to see such a warm reception for the Magic V5 among Malaysians.”

    Much of the buzz surrounding the Magic V5 stems from its ultra-slim foldable design, enhanced specifications, and a compelling launch offer. Customers were enticed by a trade-in rebate of RM400, along with exclusive gifts valued at RM2,697, including the HONOR CHOICE Earbuds Clip, a 1-Year Crack Protection warranty, and 2-Year Quality Assurance.

    To mark the store’s opening, HONOR organised a variety of engaging activities. Shoppers enjoyed attractive deals, participated in lucky draws, and received surprise gifts through blind box giveaways. The experience was elevated by an HONOR Magic V5 AI workshop, a teardown display revealing the phone’s silicon-carbon battery technology, and a creative corner where a local artist sketched live portraits for visitors. These activities showcased the store’s unique concept of merging retail, product education, and after-sales service under one roof — a new benchmark for HONOR’s retail model globally.

    One of the first customers to purchase the Magic V5, Farid, shared his excitement: “I was really impressed with how slim and powerful the phone is. The long battery life, fast charging and multitasking AI tools are perfect for my daily work routine. After seeing the opening event on Facebook, I headed straight to Johor Bahru to get mine.”

    The HONOR Magic V5 comes in a single configuration of 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, and is available in four stylish finishes: Dawn Gold, Ivory White, Silk Brown and Black. It is available for purchase via the HONOR Malaysia official website, HONOR Experience Stores, and through platforms including Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop and authorized retail partners such as Harvey Norman, Senheng, SenQ, and Urban Republic.

    To make the device more accessible, HONOR is also offering a 24-month installment plan at 0% interest, bringing the monthly payment down to RM292.

    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.

  • [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.

    HONOR Reinvents Foldable Peace of Mind with Industry-Leading Protection for Magic V5

    HONOR is raising the bar for foldable smartphone ownership in Malaysia with the introduction of a new industry-leading after-sales service plan for its latest flagship foldable device, the HONOR Magic V5.

    For the first time, consumers can enjoy a tailored protection package that includes a Worry-Free 1-Year Crack Protection and a 2-Year Quality Assurance plan. This makes the Magic V5 the only foldable phone in the country to offer such comprehensive support and reflects HONOR’s continued commitment to user confidence and satisfaction.

    As foldable devices gain traction in the market, concerns over screen durability and repair costs remain a major barrier for many. With repairs averaging RM2,600 for inner screens and RM600 for outer panels, the need for trusted post-purchase care is more important than ever.

    With this in mind, HONOR’s service policy ensures users are protected against accidental damage and manufacturing defects. The Worry-Free 1-Year Crack Protection offers one-time screen replacement for both the inner and outer displays in cases of accidental drops or collisions, subject to a minimal labor fee. Meanwhile, the 2-Year Quality Assurance plan covers screen issues such as green lines or water leakage, delivering lasting peace of mind.

    To support these service promises, HONOR has equipped 14 service centers across Malaysia to handle on-site foldable repairs. This nationwide network ensures faster turnaround times and reduced downtime for customers.

    In terms of product durability, the Magic V5 has been reengineered with advanced structural protection. A triple-layer design includes an alumina-coated anti-scratch outer layer, a reinforced aerospace-grade support structure, and a shock-absorbing inner core made from non-Newtonian fluid. This results in significant improvements in both drop and scratch resistance, while preserving the slim and lightweight profile of the device.

    Available in four premium colour options Dawn Gold, Ivory White, Silk Brown, and Black the Magic V5 comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage. Customers who pre-order by 24 July 2025 will receive exclusive gifts worth RM3,497, including a Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 9 speaker, along with the full 1-Year Crack Protection and 2-Year Quality Assurance plan.

    The HONOR Magic V5 is available for pre-order now. For more information, visit HONOR’s official website at www.honor.com/my.

  • Galaxy Unpacked 2025: Samsung Signals New Era in AI and Digital Wellness with Bold Vision for Mobile Innovation

    Galaxy Unpacked 2025: Samsung Signals New Era in AI and Digital Wellness with Bold Vision for Mobile Innovation

    At Galaxy Unpacked 2025, Samsung Electronics didn’t just launch devices it revealed a sweeping vision for the future of intelligent, connected living. With the unveiling of the latest Galaxy Z series foldables and next-generation wearables, Samsung reinforced its commitment to innovation that centres around user empowerment, AI integration and holistic digital health.

    Held in Brooklyn, the Galaxy Tech Forum on 10 July brought together top minds from Samsung, Google, Qualcomm, Xealth and Advocate Health to discuss how artificial intelligence and connected care are reshaping how we live, work and manage our wellbeing.

    Reimagining AI: From Assistance to Ambient Intelligence

    In the first panel, “The Next Vision of AI: Ambient Intelligence,” Samsung shared its vision of a future where Galaxy AI becomes seamlessly embedded into daily life not just responding to users, but anticipating their needs. Jisun Park, EVP and Head of Language AI at Samsung, revealed that over 70% of Galaxy S25 users have actively engaged with AI features, showing strong appetite for intelligent, personalised tech.

    The conversation expanded with insights from Google’s Mindy Brooks, who discussed the role of multimodal AI understanding user intent through voice, text and visuals and how Google’s Gemini AI integrates with Samsung devices to deliver proactive assistance.

    Qualcomm’s Dr. Vinesh Sukumar highlighted the need for secure, on-device AI that balances personalisation with privacy. All three panellists agreed: the future of mobile AI lies in deeply integrated systems that learn quietly and protect user data at every level.

    Connected Health at Home: The Next Chapter of Digital Care

    In the second panel, “The Next Chapter of Health: Scaling Prevention and Connected Care,” Samsung outlined its approach to healthcare innovation, one rooted in connectivity and real-world impact.

    Dr. Hon Pak, SVP and Head of Samsung’s Digital Health Team, shared how the company’s acquisition of digital health platform Xealth is helping connect Samsung Health data directly into hospital workflows. This means real-time health insights from Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring devices could soon play a critical role in patient care.

    Xealth CEO Mike McSherry, alongside Advocate Health’s Dr. Rasu Shrestha, emphasised the shift from clinic-based treatment to proactive care at home made possible by continuous monitoring, AI-powered alerts and Samsung’s growing family of connected devices.

    As Samsung builds out this healthcare ecosystem, it also aims to reduce clinician burnout by streamlining administrative tasks with AI while helping consumers take control of their own wellness journey.

    A Smarter, More Human Future

    The Galaxy Tech Forum made one thing clear: true mobile innovation goes beyond faster processors and sharper screens. It’s about creating intuitive, human-centric technologies that anticipate, protect and improve everyday life.

    Samsung’s ecosystem powered by Galaxy AI, digital health platforms, and seamless device integration is setting the stage for a smarter, safer and more meaningful digital future.

Since the debut of the Galaxy Fold in 2019, each generation has brought improvements in form, performance, and experience. In just the past year alone, Samsung managed to reduce the Fold’s thickness by 26 percent compared to the Fold6, thanks to advancements in hinge technology and internal structure design.

    Equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is built to deliver high-end performance for multitasking, gaming, and creative work. The camera system introduces 4K 60fps recording, lossless optical zoom, and pro-grade cinematic presets. AI-powered tools such as Essential Space, Flip to Record, and intelligent LED-based notifications through the Glyph Matrix offer intuitive user experiences in both folded and unfolded modes.
