HWM Singapore – July 2024

Mid-range tech gets the spotlight in this July 2024 issue of HWM Singapore. Its theme considers how a phone or other device can stand out through a strong feature set or focused strengths—without automatically requiring a flagship price. Alongside hands-on product tests, the issue offers practical advice and stories connecting technology with everyday life in Singapore.

When mid-range means more than compromise

The issue’s editorial explores how the category is changing as flagship-style features become more accessible and some devices excel in particular areas. That framing gives the reviews a useful context: the question is not simply whether a product is cheaper, but what it prioritizes and where it makes trade-offs.

Phones, tablets and personal tech

Product tests include the Nothing Phone (2a), Google Pixel 8a, Dyson Airstrait and Apple iPad Air with the M2 chip. The issue also reviews the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7900 GRE, bringing graphics hardware into its mix of consumer technology coverage.

Practical security for the connected home

A security-focused feature sets out five steps for securing a home using a mesh network. It adds a practical networking topic to an issue otherwise rich in product comparisons and device reviews.

Singapore stories and a drive into electric mobility

Readers can also find an interview about local game developer Yong Kian Chin, known as Chinykian, and his work on Apple Arcade. A Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV feature rounds out the selection with a look at a large electric SUV.

For curious tech readers

This issue will interest readers comparing mid-range phones and other devices, keeping up with consumer electronics, or looking for accessible coverage of home networking, gaming and electric vehicles. It offers a varied snapshot of the technology conversations and products featured in Singapore in July 2024.
