    HONOR Unveils Groundbreaking Magic V6 in Malaysia with Record-Breaking Foldable Innovation

    HONOR, a global leading AI device ecosystem company, has officially launched the highly anticipated HONOR Magic V6 in Malaysia. This new foldable sets a fresh benchmark in the category with record-breaking durability, seamless Apple cross-ecosystem connectivity, the largest battery ever seen on a foldable, and powerful large-screen multitasking features. The device is priced from RM7,699.

    To celebrate its arrival, HONOR is offering an early pre-order bundle available until 11 June 2026. Customers who pre-order will receive free gifts worth up to RM3,797, including a Skyworth 43-inch Google TV, a 2-year Worry-Free Quality Assurance plan, and 1-year Worry-Free Crack Protection for extra peace of mind. Pre-orders are available at HONOR Experience Stores nationwide, the HONOR Malaysia online store, and official brand stores on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, as well as selected retail partners like Harvey Norman, Senheng, SenQ, and Urban Republic.

    In terms of design, the HONOR Magic V6 continues to push how slim and light a foldable can be, measuring just 8.75mm when folded and 4.0mm when unfolded, with a weight of around 219g. Despite its slim profile, it is built tough with the HONOR Super Steel Hinge, engineered with a tensile strength of 2800MPa. In durability tests, the device even demonstrated the ability to withstand extreme stress, including pulling heavy loads, earning it both ASIA and ASEAN records for the “Heaviest Aircraft Towed by a Foldable Smartphone.” The hinge itself is also tested for up to 500,000 folds, equivalent to more than 13 years of everyday use.

    The display experience is equally refined with the HONOR Magic Diamond Screen, designed for both durability and premium visuals. The outer screen is reinforced with HONOR Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield, improving scratch and drop resistance while reducing reflectivity for better outdoor viewing. Inside, the flexible Ultra-Tough Glass layer reduces crease visibility and improves impact resistance, delivering a smoother and more immersive viewing experience backed by SGS 5-Star reliability certification.

    For added durability, the HONOR Magic V6 is also the first foldable to come with both IP68 and IP69 ratings, making it resistant to dust, water immersion, and high-pressure water exposure.

    One of the standout features is its deeper integration with Apple devices, making it easier for users who switch between ecosystems. Through HONOR Connect and HONOR WorkStation, users can connect seamlessly with iPhone and MacBook workflows. The upgraded Quick Share feature now automatically detects Apple devices, allowing easy file transfers across platforms. It also supports Mac Screen Extension, One Tap Share, and smooth file access between devices, making multitasking between Android and Apple devices more seamless than before.

    Productivity on the Magic V6 is powered by a large-screen AI multitasking system that supports up to three apps running side by side. Users can stream, chat, and shop all at once, or handle work tasks like presentations, emails, and research simultaneously on one screen. It also introduces a new AI feature called Fast-Flex, which activates Gemini with a partial fold for quick assistance in daily tasks like planning, writing, or studying.

    The device is also the first foldable powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 platform, delivering flagship-level performance for gaming, multitasking, and AI-driven features. It comes with a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery, offering the largest battery capacity on any foldable smartphone so far. The phone supports 80W wired HONOR SuperCharge, 66W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging for added convenience. It also carries TÜV Rheinland certification for long battery endurance based on real inner-screen usage.

    On the camera side, the HONOR Magic V6 features a 64MP telephoto lens with advanced stabilization for clearer long-distance shots, along with a refined portrait engine for more natural-looking photos even in low light. It also introduces AI-powered Magic Pose, which helps users frame better shots with real-time guidance on both screens.

    The device is available in Ferghana Red, Sunrise Gold, Ivory White, and Classic Black, with two storage options: 16GB + 512GB priced at RM7,699 and 16GB + 1TB priced at RM8,899. Sales officially begin nationwide on 12 June 2026.

  • Jati Diversifies Portfolio, Taking Local Rice into the Premium Snack Aisle

    Jati Diversifies Portfolio, Taking Local Rice into the Premium Snack Aisle

    Serba Wangi Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia’s leading agricultural producers, has announced a major corporate diversification strategy with the launch of ‘Jati Chom Chom’, marking the flagship brand’s official entry into the premium ready-to-eat snack segment. The launch represents the country’s first commercially produced white rice puff snack made entirely from locally sourced grains, signaling a decisive shift toward high-value, downstream food production.

    Datuk Seri Isham Bin Ishak, Secretary-General, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security delivering speech at The Jati Chom Chom Grand Launch Event

    By steering its core ingredient into the high-margin FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) market, the veteran rice distributor aims to unlock modern commercial channels and tap into evolving consumer behavior. The strategic pivot targets children, teenagers, young working adults, and modern families who are actively demanding convenient, premium alternatives to conventional corn, potato, and wheat-based snacks.

    The capital-intensive launch was officially unveiled at Old Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, an event marked by a high-tech drone light show over the capital’s skyline. The event was officiated by the Raja Puan Muda of Kedah, DYTM Che Puan Muda Zaheeda Binti Mohamad Ariff, alongside the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, Datuk Seri Isham Ishak.

    Datuk Seri Isham Ishak underscored the broader corporate and economic implications of the product launch, stating that the future of Malaysia’s agricultural sector no longer centers solely on raw, primary production. Instead, he highlighted that sustainable growth within the nation’s agri-food sector relies heavily on cross-category innovation, modern branding, value creation, and aggressive market expansion, describing Jati Chom Chom as a landmark achievement for local commercialization.

    Supporting this vision, Serba Wangi’s Managing Director, Low Kok Kean, emphasized that Jati Chom Chom represents a major milestone in evaluating new, scalable possibilities for local white rice beyond traditional, raw volume consumption. He noted that by scaling innovation up the food value chain, the company is bridging the gap between national agricultural output and a new generation of consumers. To secure strong retail confidence, the new product line is backed by rigorous operational standards, manufactured in a facility holding Halal, HACCP, and international ISO 22000:2018 food safety management certifications.

    Jati Chom Chom makes its market debut in two distinct flavor profiles, Tomato and Cheese, positioned to optimize mass-market accessibility while ensuring healthy retail margins. The products are priced starting at RM1.99 for a 60g single unit and RM3.79 for a 112g multipack, though final retail pricing remains subject to regional channel promotions. In its initial rollout phase, nationwide distribution has secured immediate shelf space across premium modern trade accounts including Lotus’s, Giant, and AEON outlets, with plans underway to aggressively scale penetration into general trade and independent retail networks.

  • Salomé Das Launches Solo Career with Cross-Cultural Pop Track ‘Back 2 Malaysia’

    Salomé Das Launches Solo Career with Cross-Cultural Pop Track ‘Back 2 Malaysia’

    French-Indian artist Salomé Das has officially initiated her solo music career with the launch of her highly anticipated debut single, “Back 2 Malaysia.” Distributed via Def Jam Malaysia, the track introduces a sophisticated global pop sound designed as a sonic tribute to the nation that shaped her formative years.

    Born in Munich and relocated to Kuala Lumpur at just three months old, Das represents the quintessential experience of a “third-culture child.” Raised at the intersection of French, Indian, and Malaysian cultures, she did not assimilate entirely into a single heritage, but instead synthesized all three into a distinct personal and artistic identity. “Back 2 Malaysia” functions as the creative nexus of these diverse backgrounds, deliberately blending traditional Malaysian and Asian instrumentation with contemporary global pop production.

    The single captures the distinctive ambience of a tropical upbringing, translating elements of regional culture, scenery, and a shared sense of freedom into a polished musical arrangement. The overarching narrative addresses a universal theme: the experience of departing a foundational environment, preserving its influence across geographical boundaries, and recognizing that cultural identity remains an intrinsic part of the individual.

    “No matter where I go in the world, I carry Malaysia with me,” Das stated regarding the release. “Through the food, the culture, the warmth, the nature, and the carefree spirit of sun and freedom that I constantly seek out. For me, Malaysia has always felt like joy, colour, nostalgia and home. This song captures that feeling—of freedom, sunshine and coming home. The place that stays with us forever.”

    Das’s transition into a solo career follows a non-traditional professional trajectory. Initially working internationally as an Elite model, she spent five years based in London before shifting her primary focus back to music. She first achieved commercial recognition as the featured vocalist on the collaborative track “Life is Simple,” an international release that has surpassed 90 million streams on Spotify and led to a high-profile performance before an audience of 8,000 at a stadium venue in Mumbai.

    Following a two-year period dedicated to repertoire development and establishing her definitive sonic direction, “Back 2 Malaysia” was recorded in Los Angeles. The production represents the realization of her long-term creative vision, marking a definitive return to her musical roots.

    In tandem with her sonic output, Das maintains a highly intentional visual identity that reinforces her multi-cultural messaging. Her stage presentation frequently incorporates traditional batik, sarongs, and Indian jewellery alongside her signature bindi. Utilizing her platform to advocate for youth empowerment and enhanced international visibility for regional talent, Das has articulated a long-term professional objective to establish herself as a leading global pop artist of Indian heritage, while actively fostering opportunities for other Asian creators within the international music industry.

    “Back 2 Malaysia” is now available for streaming and download across all major digital distribution platforms.
