HTC One M8 is the new flagship smartphone for HTC. It has very good specification to compete with ever changing smartphone market globally. The announcement of HTC One M8 amazed HTC fans.

HTC One M8 is set to compete with newly released Samsung galaxy S5 that had been announced previously on April 2014. That is just an opinion. To actually compare both smartphones it is mostly self-explanatory. You will have to come out and guess for yourself which one is good and which one is good to buy

Mobile service provider in Malaysia such as Maxis, Digi and Umobile have taken initiative to provide Malaysian the platform to purchase HTC One M8 with contract. The chart below is taken by 3 mobile service operator website. Take a closer look !!

Prior to that, are you finding contract free HTC One M8? Some buyers are seeking HTC One M8 without contract due to many reasons. Last time I checked it is not over RM2200. Please visit at HTC One M8 16GB

Simple research have concluded that Digi and Maxis charts showed that it did not have a big changes in both Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8. If you have been watching Samsung Galaxy S5 contract chart previously on April 2014, you would have noticed that they took it down and replaced it with HTC One M8

The only thing has changed will be Celcom no longer offering HTC One M8. Umobile is taken the lead to offering HTC One M8 with contract. I guess there are limited space in offering new smartphones to Malaysian and that would be just 3 Malaysian mobile service providers. If Celcom to take the offering of HTC One M8, there would be no Umobile involvement !

You could see that in the chart, U PLUS would be offering lowest phone price RM999 with 24 months contract. How about total cost of owning them in the period of 1 and 2 years?

OPPO launched Find 7a and other Smartphones in Malaysia 2014

OPPO flagship smartphone is only RM1598. The first LTE/4G smartphone by OPPO






In month of May, we have seen so many smartphones companies based in China unveiled one by one their flagship product to Malaysian market. First is Huawei, then OPPO and Xiaomi . They can make high-end quality smartphone without selling it higher price. They have a competitive advantage !

Although people generally look brands when buying a smartphone such as Samsung, Apple, Asus, Lenovo and Huawei. How these smartphone companies based in China compete with international brand ? First make the fact clear that everything practically made from China.

China smartphone brand such as OPPO does not have branding power outside of China although OPPO it quite popular within China with poster and heavy advertisement at popular mall and popular tv show. The thing is that they have a competitive edge that consumer will take seriously that would be price tag. OPPO and Xiaomi's flagship smartphone are being introduced to the market but confused a almost same hardware specifications with Samsung S5 costing RM2199 but they can put a price tag RM1598.

Take for example let look at smartphone OPPO Find 7a that would be unveiling soon in Malaysian market. The specification of OPPO Find 7a are 5.5" screen size with 538 PPI, LTE/4G network supported, Quad core processor, 13 megapixel camera with pure image 2.0 and CMOS sensor, 4k video recording with 1080p at 30fps. Many more !!

A normal smartphone experts would tell you that RM1598 for this smartphone is no doubt a marketing scheme because it does not make sense. Samsung Galaxy S5 just unveiled last month 2014 has the same hardware specifications. In fact, it is true that OPPO put Find 7a price tag at RM1598 for Malaysian fans.

To justify the argument, I am not saying the main point is which one is better than other ! it just Samsung Galaxy S5 will definitely won at some software side. Besides, Samsung is worldwide brand trusted by many consumers that could not be broken. It really self explanatory to compare both great smartphones. It is up to you to decide which one is buy !

Until you touch and use it by yourself, you will never know which one to buy ! Besides, OPPO introduced other two smartphone OPPO JOY and OPPO YOYO in prior the release of Find 7a.


OPPO Find 7a is successor of OPPO Find 5. The new Find 7a is yet to be released into Malaysia market. The date of releasing is May 15, 2014. Pre-order begin on April 16, 2014 and it will end on May 11, 2014. Surprise gifts will be send out in return for supporting OPPO in pre-order event. First 500 pre-orders will be receiving the gift package.
