Honor Malaysia is hinting the release of Honor 4X in the front page of Vmall Malaysia. The Honor 4X is a mid-range phablet with specs slightly below Honor 6 but with a more affordable price tag that could be slightly higher than the selling price of Honor 3C at RM499 when it is first released in Malaysia depending on the variant that will be brought in.

Specification wise, the Honor 4X is LTE enabled and come with a 5.5" IPS touchscreen display, it could be powered by 2 variants of processor either by quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8916 chipset or a Huawei homemade octa-core 1.2GHz Hisilicon Kirin 620 chipset. Imaging will be handled by a 13MP rear shooter with Sony imaging sensor and the front is a 5MP shooter. Storage wise, it could come with either 1GB or 2GB RAM and 8GB onboard storage which is expandable with memory card. Juicing up the device would be handled by a 3000mAh battery.

If the Honor 4X is priced below RM500, would it sell like a hot cake like how Honor 3C used to be?

This year, Motorola(Owned by Google) gave us a surprise with Motorola Moto G priced from RM 678(from superbuy.my)! You may ask what is so special with this device, isn't this just an ordinary Smartphones?

Yes, it is an ordinary Smartphones but, with an exceptional price for its specs! Check out the brief specification of this phone from below and you will know why.

•  4.5" IPS Touchscreen 1280 x 720 HD, 329 ppi (Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3)
•  Android Jelly Bean OS, v4.3 (Confirmed update to 4.4 KitKat)
•  Micro-SIM card slot, dual sim dual standy
•  Quad-Core 1.2GHz processor
•  Adreno 305 GPU
•  1GB RAM, 8GB/16GB Internal Storage
•  5 MP Rear, autofocus, LED flash. Front 1.3MP
•  Connectivity: 3G, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0
•  Navigation: A-GPS

With the specifications provided for this Smartphone, one can easily tell that this device is definitely a killer phone for those who seek for a high specs Smartphone that is compact enough to fit in their pocket without sacrificing much in screen size. Its 4.5" IPS is one of the best screen you can find in mid-range Smartphones with rich resolution of 329ppi which is equivalent to iPhone 5's display and this screen size is also manageable with single handed unlike those 5" touchscreen Smartphone which you might need both of your hand to operate them efficiently. Other than that, the screen is also being protected by a durable Corning Gorilla Glass 3 that keeps your worries away if it falls on the ground. Moreover the back cover of Moto G is also replaceable with various of harmony color of your choice, this also means that if your casing is damaged or scratched, you can replace a new one with the color of your choice with ease. 

Performance wise, this Moto G is powered by Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with Adreno 305 GPU, this engine is enough to power up the Moto G without lag issue and normal gaming experience will be silky smooth. The 1GB ram packed inside is also good enough for average multitasking which is good for daily use as well.

The camera that's packed in this device is an ordinary 5MP rear camera with HDR support that produces good quality of photo for normal shooting and it also supports 720p@30fps with stereo sound. As for the front facing camera, Moto G comes with a rather rare 1.3MP front facing camera that is quite hard to find from today's mid-range Smartphones but Moto G just did it to stand out from the crowd. With this 1.3MP front facing camera, this device is good enough for taking selfie and video call.

The only let down of this device is that it only comes with a choice of 8GB/16GB Internal storage without the option to extend your storage with external memory card, however, Google does compromise this by offering free 50GB Google drive storage for 2 years. With all the great deals packed in this phone from starting price of RM 678, there's probably nothing more you can beg for from this underpriced Moto G.

Motorola Moto G is currently available for pre-order now from Superbuy.my
