Summary
Malaysia saw a wave of smartphone launches spanning RM849 to RM7,999, led by Google’s Pixel 11 line, Vivo’s V80 Lite 5G, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 17 series and Poco’s F9 and X8 models.
10,000mAh batteries were a central selling point: Vivo’s V80 Lite and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 17 Pro Max hit that mark, while several other models paired large cells with reverse charging and up to 100W fast charging.
Google positioned the Pixel 11 family at the premium end with Tensor G6 chips, Gemini features, brighter 3,000- to 3,600-nit displays and camera upgrades including up to 120x zoom; the Pixel 11 Pro Fold tops the range at RM7,999.
Poco pushed gaming and flagship performance with up to 185FPS support, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on the F9 Ultra and a top-spec 16GB/1TB variant priced at RM4,799.
The launches show brands competing in Malaysia on endurance, imaging and gaming rather than price alone, with ruggedness ratings and AI features also moving deeper across lineups.
