Read MorePUMA brings McLaren racing identity to the streets with new Singapore-inspired lifestyle collection
The new PUMA McLaren collection is inspired by the electric glow of the Singapore Night Race. Instead of McLaren’s familiar Papaya orange, PUMA has gone with a cooler palette of white and blue, giving the range a distinctly different visual character. Blue tones evoke the illuminated circuit environment, while white provides contrast and keeps the pieces cleaner and more versatile for everyday use. The collection also incorporates design references drawn from Southeast Asian ...

Read MoreThe Nike Alphafly 4 is the lightest and most responsive Alphafly yet, with 10 per cent more energy return and 5 per cent reduction in weight. The shoe remains aimed squarely at marathon racing, from elite athletes chasing podiums to everyday runners trying to lower their personal bests. The bigger change is philosophical: Nike is trying to make the Alphafly’s speed easier to access and, crucially, easier to hold onto. The fourth ...
Read MoreFujifilm has launched the instax Pal 2 in Singapore, giving its smallest digital camera a substantial rethink with a more traditional camera-like design, an optical viewfinder and a wider range of creative controls. The original instax Pal was deliberately playful, with a rounded design that looked more like an accessory than a conventional camera. The Pal 2 has visually grown up a lot since then. Fujifilm has given it a flatter, more ...
Read MoreCanon EOS R8 Mark II brings IBIS, 40fps shooting and creator-focused tools to a compact full-frame body
Canon has launched the EOS R8 Mark II, a new 24.2-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera that takes the lightweight formula of the original EOS R8 and adds features previously associated with more advanced models in the EOS R system. The first EOS R8 was appealing because it put a full-frame sensor into a small and approachable body. The R8 Mark II keeps that idea, but gives users more room to work handheld ...
Read MoreThe Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is the most accomplished foldable yet, fixing some of the format’s oldest annoyances. Trouble is, Samsung now sells another Fold that makes more sense. A good foldable phone is useful when you stop thinking about the folding bit. You open it to reply to an email, glance at a spreadsheet, watch YouTube while pretending to work, then shut it and carry on with your day. ...
Read MoreEight generations in, Samsung has finally produced a passport-sized foldable with the Galaxy Z Fold 8. This is Samsung’s lightest Fold yet, weighing in at 201g and measuring just 9.7mm thick when closed, plus adopting a shorter, wider shape that makes both of its screens more useful. In Singapore, it starts at S$2,498 for 256GB, rises to S$2,798 for 512GB, and tops out at S$3,398 for the 1TB version. That is still ...
Read MoreThe Google Pixel 11 lacks some of the hardware excess of its Pro sibling, but it shares the same Tensor G6 brain, excellent software and much of the same camera intelligence. I always found it funny calling a phone “Pro”. It implies that the ordinary version is somehow for amateurs, as if buying the cheaper model means you take blurry holiday photographs and answer emails with two thumbs. One recent argument came ...
