Returning as the Official Smartphone, ZTE will equip players with their latest gaming technology, featuring the Nubia Neo 2 5G mobile phones. This edition’s collaboration will also feature a donation drive that aims to empower the voiceless.

For a minimum contribution of RM1, people will get to participate in their Scream for Charity Campaign – with all proceeds going to local initiatives that support the voiceless and abused within our community. The mechanics are simple: scan the QR code, fill in your details, make your donation, step up to the sound machine and yell the word ‘Nubia’ for as long and as loud as possible.
