The HTC One (M8) will be available in Singapore from this Saturday, 5th April 2014 at all mobile operators (SingTel, M1 & StarHub) and authorized retailers.

Two colors will be available, Gunmetal Grey and Glacial Silver. The recommended retail price (RRP) is S$998 for the 16GB HTC One (M8).

Apart from the three Nokia Android phones, Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL, being announced, Nokia also announced the Nokia 220 and the Nokia Asha 230.

Both the Nokia 220 and Nokia Asha 230 will be available in single or dual SIM version.

The Nokia 220/Nokia 220 (Dual SIM) will be retailing for €29 (~S$51) immediately.

Nokia has launched their first family of phones running on Android (sort of) at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014.

The reason why I say “Android (sort of)” is because there is no Google Play services in the Nokia X family of phones, instead it is been replaced by Microsoft Services.

Xiaomi will be launching the Redmi in Singapore tomorrow, 21st February 2014 at 12pm for S$169 without contract. Redmi is also known as Hongmi in China which directly translated to Red Rice in English.

At launch there are also some accessories for the Redmi:

Moshi iVisor Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5s retailing for S$48.90 is a good alternative to the Spigen SGP GLAS.tR Nano Slim Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5c/5s and is slightly cheaper. It weighs only 10g and is bubble-proof, shock-proof and scratch-resistant.

I tried pasting it on my iPhone 5 and despite it was my first time applying screen protector (I usually get the mobile phone shops to do it for me), I managed to do it on the first try!

The gold version of HTC One is now available in Singapore (since 18th January 2014) just in time for Chinese New Year.

Previously HTC One is only available in 3 colors in Singapore: Silver, Black and Red. There is a blue variant but it is exclusive to Carphone Warehouse in the UK and Best Buy in the US.

Bought the Spigen SGP GLAS.tR Nano Slim Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5c/5s from MobyShop for S$52, including free application of the glass screen protector.

Do not get mixed up with a similar glass screen protector called Spigen SGP GLAS.t Nano Slim Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5c/5s (note the R, GLAS.t vs GLAS.tR). The R stands for rounded because the GLAS.tR glass screen protector have rounded edges for a more precise fit and hence it is slightly more expensive.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be officially launching in Singapore tomorrow, 28th September 2013 for S$1,048 without contract. Only the 32GB model will be available in Singapore. Two colors will be available at launch, the Jet Black and the Classic White.

Accessories compatible with the Galaxy Note 3 includes:
