The new outlet opens on 19 September 2026 and follows the launch of vivo Singapore’s first Experience & Service Store at 313@somerset earlier this year. The Jurong Point location is intended to give customers in the west a more convenient place to try the brand’s latest smartphones and accessories in ...

Fujifilm 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 ...

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 ...

The 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. ...

Eight 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 ...

The 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 ...

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 ...
