Our phones are our most personal space, but we use them in the least private places. On the bus, in the elevator, and wherever we’re waiting in line, our digital laundry gets aired in plain view.
And as phones become more tailored to our routines and preferences, concerns about privacy are only growing. That’s why Samsung will soon unveil a new layer of privacy to shield your phone from shoulder surfing wherever you go.
You’ll have the space to check your messages or enter a password on a packed commute without thinking twice about who might be watching. PINs and passwords remain hidden from people nearby, even in crowded public settings.
Flexible Protection Built Over Years
Not everyone needs the same level of privacy. This new layer gives you the choice to decide what works best for you. You can customise it to raise your guard with specific apps, or when entering access details for more private areas of your phone.
With multiple settings for adjusting visibility, you can limit what others can see based on the level of privacy protection you need. Customisable, app-level privacy settings help ensure only the user can see on-screen private information.
You can also choose to protect specific parts of your experience, such as notification pop-ups. It’s a tailored approach that you can fine-tune or switch off entirely, rather than a blanket one.
It took over five years of engineering, testing and refining to get here. We studied how people use their phones, what they consider private, and how security should feel in everyday life.
The result is a fusion of hardware and software expertly calibrated to protect you without getting in your way.
Keyakinan terhadap kemampuan kenderaan Isuzu untuk mengurangkan kos operasi, melakukan perjalanan jauh dalam tempoh panjang serta memberikan keselamatan serta
keselesaan telah menjadi pendorong kepada jualan yang sihat sepanjang 2025, walaupun sentimen industri terhadap kenderaan diesel menjadikannya semakin menurun.
Jualan kenderaan Isuzu tetap kukuh sepanjang tahun lalu walaupun permintaan umum terhadap sektor kenderaan komersial menyaksikan penurunan sebanyak 11.4 peratus.
Pasaran trak pikap juga menyaksikan penurunan sebanyak 7.3 peratus, kesan daripada semakan semula harga diesel yang dilakukan pada 2024.
Bagaimanapun, trak Isuzu sebaliknya mencapai tahap perkongsian pasaran tertingginya dengan mencatatkan kadar 56.1 peratus, dengan jumlah pendaftaran sebanyak 6,880 unit. Ini merupakan satu lonjakan daripada paras tertinggi terdahulu dengan 47.1 peratus, yang dicapai pada 2023.
Isuzu D-Max juga mununjukkan prestasi jualan yang cemerlang, mengukuhkan kedudukannya untuk menguasai 15 peratus pasaran dalam segmen trak pikap, yang sekali gus membolehkannya menduduki tangga kedua keseluruhan di Malaysia.
Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Isuzu Malaysia, Tomoyuki Yamaguchi mengaitkan pencapaian itu dengan keberhasilan syarikat untuk memenuhi dan melangkaui keperluan pelanggannya.
“Sebagai peneraju global dalam industri mobiliti, Isuzu amat memahami keperluan dan kehendak pelanggan kami. Kesungguhan kami dalam menyediakan barisan produk yang memenuhi keperluan pelanggan kekal menjadi faktor utama dalam meraih dan meningkatkan populariti berterusan Isuzu di Malaysia.
“Keupayaan rangkaian pengedar strategik yang dengan pantas mampu menyesuaikan diri untuk memenuhi permintaan pelanggan yang senitasa berubah-ubah, serta sistem lepas jualan yang menjadi tulang belakang dalam memikul tanggungjawab untuk memastikan semua pelanggan kami sentiasa sedia bergerak telah memainkan peranan untuk meningkatkan populariti jenama ini,” katanya.
Isuzu Elf — yang merupakan sebuah trak tugasan ringan dengan kemampuan menampung muatan banyak dalam saiz yang kompak — kekal menjadi trak paling popular di Malaysia bagi tahun ke-16 berturut-turut, dengan sejumlah 6,362 unit didaftarkan dan menyumbang sebanyak 92.5 peratus trak yang dijual sepanjang tahun lalu.
Trak Forward untuk tugasan sederhana pula terus menawarkan daya tarikan tersendiri; ia mampu mengendalikan perjalanan ulang-alik jarak jauh antara bandar dengan mudah. Meneruskan kejayaan yang dicapai pada 2023, trak tersebut sekali lagi muncul sebagai trak tugasan sederhana paling laris di negara ini dengan mencatatkan jualan sebanyak 494 unit pada tahun 2025.
Lonjakan Isuzu D-Max ke kedudukan kedua keseluruhan juga mencerminkan pengiktirafan yang semakin meningkat terhadap jenama Isuzu dan D-Max, yang telah membina reputasi kukuh dalam memberikan nilai luar biasa kepada pelanggan.
Usaha akan diteruskan untuk memperkukuh kehadiran produk serta mempamerkan keupayaannya agar lebih ramai pengguna di Malaysia menyedari nilai tambah yang
diberikan oleh D-Max dalam setiap persekitaran penggunaannya.
Dengan memanfaatkan reputasi kukuh barisan kendearan Isuzu semasa, syarikat akan memberikan tumpuan segera terhadap cara untuk memperkayakan lagi pengalaman pemilikan pengguna, terutamanya dalam aspek lepas jualan.
“Walaupun kami menyaksikan peningkatan penerimaan bagi urusan lepas jualan sebanyak 12 peratus tahun lalu, kami percaya dengan perkhidmatan yang lebih baik, tempoh serahan yang lebih pantas serta ketersediaan alat ganti yang lebih meluas, kami akan mampu melancarkan dan mempercepat proses penyelenggaraan kenderaan, dan memendekkan lagi waktu menunggu untuk pelanggan,” katanya lagi.

Volvo Car Malaysia hari ini membuka lembaran baharu dalam perjalanan elektrifikasinya dengan pelancaran rasmi Volvo ES90, sedan elektrik sepenuhnya pertama jenama ini di Malaysia.
Dipasang secara tempatan di Shah Alam, ES90 bukan sekadar model baharu, tetapi satu manifestasi hala tuju Volvo dalam mentakrifkan semula mobiliti premium melalui rekaan Scandinavia, teknologi keselamatan generasi terkini dan pengalaman digital yang lancar.
Volvo ES90 kini boleh dilihat di semua pengedar sah Volvo di seluruh negara bermula hari ini, dengan harga bermula dari RM339,888. Sebagai penghargaan kepada pelanggan terawal yang menyertai fasa baharu ini, Volvo Car Malaysia menawarkan insentif early-bird 2%, terhad kepada 100 unit pertama yang ditempah sebelum 31 Mac 2026.
Chris Wailes, Pengarah Urusan Volvo Car Malaysia dan Thailand, berkata, selama enam dekad, Volvo telah menjadi sebahagian daripada perjalanan Malaysia. Hari ini, kami membuka lembaran baharu dengan ES90.
Inilah kereta untuk individu yang menghargai keseimbangan – menggabungkan imej eksekutif sebuah sedan premium dengan kelestarian serta prestasi teknologi elektrik terkini kami. Ia dipasang secara tempatan, bertaraf global, dan direka untuk memberikan ketenangan serta perlindungan menyeluruh, selari dengan falsafah keselamatan Volvo.”
Direka untuk Kehidupan yang Seimbang
Volvo ES90 direka sebagai sebuah ruang perlindungan di atas jalan raya. Menggabungkan fleksibiliti rekaan fastback dengan keluasan sebuah SUV, ia menawarkan ruang kaki yang lapang serta suasana dalaman seakan “ruang tamu”, diterjemahkan melalui sentuhan rekaan Scandinavia yang minimalis dan sofistikated.
Di sebalik penampilannya yang elegan, ES90 dibina di atas seni bina 800-volt paling canggih Volvo. Bagi pemandu di Malaysia, ini bermaksud masa pengecasan yang jauh lebih singkat – ES90 mampu dicas dari 10 hingga 80 peratus dalam kira-kira 22 minit menggunakan pengecas pantas DC 350 kW3.
Dengan satu cas penuh, ES90 menawarkan jarak pemanduan sehingga 651 km (WLTP), membolehkan perjalanan antara negeri seperti Kuala Lumpur ke Pulau Pinang atau Johor Bahru dilakukan dengan yakin, tanpa kebimbangan jarak.
