After launching the Mi 10T 5G and Mi 10T Pro 5G in Europe, Xiaomi has announced the two devices in Malaysia.

The  Mi 10T Pro 5G is available in a single configuration of 8GB RAM + 256GB storage and is priced at RM 1,999 (~$481) which is significantly cheaper than the price tag in Europe which is €649 (~$765).

Interested buyers can grab it on Lazada in Cosmic Black, Lunar Silver, and Aurora Blue beginning October 9. Sadly, there are no free gifts available with orders unlike in Germany and Italy. Nevertheless, they are getting it at a much cheaper price. However, if you do a search on the site, there are some third-party resellers that have pre-order bundles with some nice free gifts including a wireless charging pad, power bank, selfie stick, car charger, and more.

The Mi 10T is also available in just one configuration – 8GB RAM + 128GB – and it is priced at RM 1,699 (~$409). It is available in Cosmic Black and Lunar Silver and will be available starting October 23.

The Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro both have 6.67-inch FHD+ displays with a 144Hz refresh rate.

The Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro from the Chinese tech giant will be launched in the country on 25th June 2020. As the name suggests, the product is specially designed to boost the overall Wi-Fi signal coverage inside your home or workplace.

Xiaomi has become a very successful brand in various markets, especially in the Southeast Asian region. Malaysia is one such market, where its smartphones were popular. However, the company never officially launched its Mi TV lineup, but now, the Chinese tech giant has announced that the product will soon be entering the market later this year.

Similar to its smartphones, the Xiaomi Mi TV lineup is generally considered an affordable value for money smart TV. Although, up until now, the only way to own a Mi TV in Malaysia was to import. Xiaomi had a few units on display on its official physical stores across the country but those were never available for purchase.

According to an interview, Xiaomi’s Country Manager for Malaysia and Singapore, Nicholas Shi, revealed that the customers in Malaysia can expect the Mi TV series to arrive in the country later this year. Furthermore, the senior official also revealed that other Xiaomi IoT (Internet of Things) products will also be launched in the country soon, including Mi Watch, Mi Gaming Monitor, Mi Robot Vacuum Mop, and more.

Unfortunately, Nicholas refrained from revealing any specific launch date or time frame other than later in 2020. Similarly, it is also currently unknown which models of the Mi TV’s broad lineup will ship in Malaysia. The company recently launched 4 models in Indonesia, Mi TV 4 (55 inch and 43 inch) and Mi TV 4A (43inch and 32 inch). Thus, we can expect Xiaomi to launch models in line with these. More updates should arrive in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Last week, Redmi India announced the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. The two phones are the latest devices in the Redmi Note series and they pack some pretty interesting specs.

Fans of the series were surprised at the addition of a new model with the “Max” suffix and equally astonished that a standard/non-Pro model was not announced. Now, Xiaomi Malaysia has announced that it plans to launch a new Redmi Note phone next week and it will arrive as the Redmi Note 9S.

The Redmi Note 9S is scheduled to be announced on March 23, and from the teaser poster, it will also have four rear cameras arranged in the same fashion as those of its siblings in India. Another image posted on their Facebook page confirms the phone will have a punch hole in the middle of the screen.

It is still unknown if this is a different model entirely or one of the already announced devices with a new name. Nevertheless, we look forward to its launch.

This is not the first Redmi Note phone with an “S” at the back of its name. Last year, Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 7S in India which is actually a version of the Redmi Note 7 with a 48MP primary rear camera. It was announced a few months after the Redmi Note 7 which has a 12MP primary rear camera.

Xiaomi Malaysia is also running a competition and the prize is a brand new phone. To enter, you have to follow Xiaomi Malaysia on Instagram (@xiaomi.malaysia). Then take a picture of a Redmi Note device you own and post it on Instagram with a 30-word caption telling your story with the said device (an experience or something along that line). Make sure you tag Xiaomi Malaysia on the post. The competition began on Friday, the 13th of March and it runs till Friday, the 20th of March.

Xiaomi’s Malaysia branch has just given out a bunch of powerbanks to reporters. In an interesting move, the Chinese tech giant handed out free 20,000mAh powerbanks to the media personnel standing outside Istana Negara.

The company shared various images on its official Facebook page, where Xiaomi officials can be seen giving out the large 20,000mAh powerbanks in large boxes to the reporters standing outside. And in a thoughtful manner, the company even shared a small note alongside it. The note said that “You cover the news, we got you covered! From Xiaomi Malaysia.”

This move was highly applauded on social media and the reporters themselves. The media reporters arrived with smartphones (with some exclusively relying on it) and other photography tools, which can run out of battery after continuous use. Thus, the massive capacity on the powerbank would ensure no one faces inconveniences during their working hours on the field.

The Xiaomi Malaysia officials wore orange Tshirts and can be seen walking around with large boxes filled with the powerbanks. They handed out the gadget for free. This has been seen as a sense of aiding position from Xiaomi as the reporters in the country have been facing troubles due to the ongoing political crisis that has gripped the region.

What do you think about this occurrence? Is it just a publicity stunt or genuine concern shown by Xiaomi? Maybe a bit of both? Let us know in the comments section down below.
