At the beginning of the year, TM announced that the Unifi Basic Plan will be offered at the price of RM79 per month. However, the 30Mbps Unifi Basic plan only offers 60GB of data quota per month which is not sufficient for gaming users or movie watchers. TM does offer their heavy users customers with unlimited quota which is the Unifi 100 Mbps plan. This package is priced at RM 129 per month excluding SST.

Yesterday, TM has announced they will extend the unlimited quota offer for the Unifi Basic Plan. This is because a lot of their Streamyx customers are subscribing to Unifi after TM starting upgrading the Unifi coverage to many areas around Malaysia. This offer is only available until March 31. We think this will be the last time TM offers unlimited quota for its Unifi Basic plan. Currently, TM recommends its existing Unifi Basic users to upgrade to the Unifi 100 Mbps plan to enjoy the unlimited quota.

There is also a contest running by TM which offers a trip for two to UK for their customer who subscribes to the Unifi 100 Mbps plan. Having this promotion, we can see alot of existing customer upgrading their plan to the unlimited quota plan.

There are many other broadband providers which are offering better plan rather than TM keeps on changing their plan. If they want to be inside the game, they have to permanently remain their plan to unlimited quota. What do you think about TM’s plan? Share with us in the comments.

Until now, the exact zooming capability has not been revealed by Huawei. But we can assure that P30 will have a better zooming capability than the P20 Pro. This is because the previous P20 Pro supports 3X optical zoom and 5X hybrid zoom. We are expecting the P30 to have better features than the P20 Pro. Wong have also claimed that the P30 Pro’s camera will offer “something nobody has done before”. This could mean the camera of the P30 might be included with mechanical zooming lens.

According to Wong, Huawei is also focusing on the low-light mode feature. He confirms that the P30 Pro camera would be a major upgrade to all the mobile phone photographers. The previous P20 Pro has been one of the best cameras to shoot in low-light. It is also said that the P30 Pro uses the same software solution as the Google Pixel’s Night Sight.

Wong also has shared one of the photos which claimed to be shot using the P30 Pro. The device launch event is just around the corner only. We will have to wait for the official confirmation directly from Huawei soon.
