The JBL Go 5 arrives in Singapore with louder sound, improved bass, new ambient lighting and a particularly neat trick called AirTouch, which lets two Go 5 speakers pair in stereo simply by touching them together. The Go has always been JBL’s grab-and-go proposition, and the fifth-generation model does not stray far from that formula. What has changed is the amount of sound JBL is trying to extract from the compact enclosure. ...

Fujifilm has launched its new FUJINON XF 400mm F4.5 R LM OIS WR, a super-telephoto prime lens developed for its X Series mirrorless cameras. With a 400mm focal length, equivalent to 609mm on a 35mm full-frame camera, and a maximum aperture of F4.5, the lens sits at the longer end of Fujifilm’s XF system. Yet despite its substantial reach, it weighs approximately 1,245g, making portability one of its defining features. That combination ...

DJI’s second-generation 360-degree action camera does not reinvent the formula, but it does refine it in several meaningful ways. I have never been particularly fond of 360-degree cameras. That may sound like a strange way to begin a review of one, but there is a reason. My usual preference is to choose the right camera for the job, frame deliberately, and accept that whatever I miss simply was not meant ...

The NITECORE Carbo 20 is not the most feature-packed 20,000mAh power bank you can buy, nor is it remotely the cheapest. What it offers instead is robust durability and portability. Power banks have become a little ridiculous. Some now have colour displays, multiple built-in cables, enough ports to resemble a desktop docking station, and charging outputs capable of powering laptops that were once considered portable only because they had handles. All very ...

Lenovo’s latest Yoga 7i 2-in-1 Aura Edition aims to be the one you can rely on for almost everything: work, study, entertainment, light creative tasks and even a spot of gaming. Memory prices are rising, electronics are becoming more expensive, and sustainability is increasingly becoming part of the purchasing conversation. Against that backdrop, buying one machine that can perform several jobs rather than three devices that each perform one suddenly starts ...

Held from 21 to 23 August at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre, the activation was built around the theme Unbox the Ease. Rather than presenting its products through a conventional technology showcase, ECOVACS leaned into POP MART’s sense ...

New Era has opened a new flagship store in Bugis, placing itself squarely in one of Singapore’s most recognisable street culture districts.

Beyond stocking New Era’s full range of caps, apparel and accessories, the store is also intended to function as a more experiential retail space, with ...

With the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 just weeks away, Barilla is bringing a rather different kind of race-day machinery to the table: the Barilla Gran Ruote Racing Edition. This limited-edition pasta shape is inspired by the wheels of a Formula 1 car. Created as part of Barilla’s partnership with Formula 1, the release is the first in a planned series of special editions linking the worlds of motorsport and ...
