We love screens and use them on just about everything, especially in this modern age where we bring them everywhere. From foldable devices to wrist-mounted displays, these screens allow you to work or view the work you have completed. You’ve got to appreciate those pixels!
Everyone has unique use cases based on their work environments. With these new and upcoming devices that promise productivity and a better lifestyle, may the screen be with you.
1. Oppo Watch X2
Starting with the smallest screen here, the upcoming (available on pre-order) Oppo Watch X2 is the latest Wear OS premium watch surrounded by titanium alloy bezels, sapphire crystal glass, and stainless steel frame. Interestingly, the watch has two brains, one for performance and one for low power, which makes the 648mAh Silicon-carbon battery last for up to a claimed 5 days. And of course, it comes with the whole health and fitness monitoring shebang with an 8-channel optical heart rate sensor with a PPG module and a 16-channel optical pulse oximeter sensor.
3. TechLife Smart Watch Neo
Size is no limitation, it’s up to the wielder to make use of this smartwatch with its 1.83 inches of TFT LCD, IP67 water resistance, built-in speaker and microphone and 5 days of battery life. It also comes with sensors for monitoring your heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and sleep. This watch can also make Bluetooth phone calls, let you talk to your voice assistant, and cover your health monitoring needs. While a more humble proposition from the budget subbrand of realme, it does not skimp on effort.

3. iPhone 16e
Later this week, a new iPhone is landing and this one is for getting that extra mileage out of your wallet. Cutting down on features means cutting down on price as well, as the “e” this time, means a single rear camera, no Touch ID, no dynamic island, and no Magsafe, and a little more shaved off here and there. Most of the nerfs could be worked around and compensated for with accessories, which most people buy, such as a MagSafe phone case. Don’t dismiss the budget iPhone but consider what essentials are needed, many of which are present.
- Pricing: From RM2,999
- Availability: Pre-order, Launches 28th February
4. Vivo Y39 5G

It features a 50MP main camera, an 8MP selfie camera, and a powerful 6,500mAh battery with 44W fast charging. With drop resistance and an IP64 rating, it’s built for durability.

5. Oppo Find N5
Thin phones are making a comeback! This foldable model, with a size ranging from 6.62″ to 8.12″, is creating a buzz in the tech industry. When folded, it measures just 8.93mm, which is almost the same thickness as a traditional non-folding phone, yet it still boasts impressive flagship features. Notably, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 5,600mAh silicon-carbon battery, and a Hasselblad triple camera system that includes a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera.
6. HUAWEI Mate XT
HUAWEI woke up one day and did origami with a phone. This is a showpiece that just so happens to pull off duty as a real phone, and a tablet. This thing goes from 6.4 inches to 10.2, which would be the envy of most guys. Powered by their in-house Kirin 9010 chipset with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, the Mate XT is no slouch. The rear of the phone is populated with a 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and a 12MP telephoto. The trifold also has 5,600mAh, so it has juice for all the baggage it carries.
