Pensonic Holdings Berhad launched its "Fonebud" Brand and "Fonebud Essential Plus" today. Realising the vast potential of Internet of Things (IoT) in influencing the future, Pensonic, an established Malaysian manufacturer of Electrical Home Appliances (EHA), has diversified into the designing and manufacturing of smart devices that are trendy and lifestyle oriented, yet scalable and functional. Mr.Dixon Chew, Chief Executive Officer of Pensonic says, "It all started when I met Mr.Sunny Koay, the Chief Executive Officer of SUNWEU Sdn Bhd (SUNWEU), a leading Malaysian distributor of international mobile phone accessories. I shared with him over a tea chat about creating an intelligent power bank that is versatile and scalable to accommodate present and future innovations".   


With Pensonic's strength in branding, product development and supply chain management, coupled with SUNWEU's knowledge and experience in marketing and distribution of international mobile phone accessory brands, both leaders decided to turn the intelligent power bank idea into a reality. Within six months after their discussion, Pensonic formed its Innovation Team, who were Malaysian talents handpicked by Mr.Dixon himself to kick start this project. The objective of this Innovation Team was to explore the smartphone accessories market and develop a new range of products. This new brand’s first product design was conceptualised and a prototype was developed. This innovative brand was called "Fonebud" and the product was named "Fonebud Essential Plus". The name "Fonebud" came from "Fone", which is a stylised word for phone, representing communications, while "Bud" is from buddy, an informal term for friend. "Fonebud" is aptly named as communications buddy or partner as it is an indispensable device that is essential to keep with a smartphone user at all times. Not only is Fonebud a smartphone's best friend, it is also a smartphone user's best buddy.   


Fonebud Essential Plus was first showcased at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair in October 2014, where this product was among the six finalists selected to receive the prestigious Innovation Award. After the overwhelming response at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair last year, the Fonebud Essential Plus was introduced earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015 in Las Vegas. Fonebud was the only Malaysian exhibitor among the 3,600 international exhibitors who participated at the CES in Las Vegas this year, but managed to catch the attention of international media and has received favourable reviews from TPN.tv, DigiLife under Thailand's Nation Television, TEC Peru, Poc Network Tech Blog, Health Tech Weekly, ERing and many more.

This amazing, ergonomically designed 5,000 mAH power bank is packed with essential features and one of it is two devices pairing to synch smartphone with Fonebud Essential Plus. Once the smartphone is paired with Fonebud Essential Plus, you can take your calls on Fonebud Essential Plus while your smartphone is being charged. Having bluetooth 4.0 connection means radiation and heat emissions are minimal during long conversations while using Fonebud Essential Plus.
