THE 8.5S HAVE IT, BUT AT WHAT COST?

01 BYD SEALION 6 DM-I • Is the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i plug-in hybrid the best of both worlds?

02 SAMSUNG EXPLAINS ITS “AI FOR ALL” VISION, WHAT IS IT AND HOW IT CAN BENEFIT ITS USERS • An interview with CU Kim, President and CEO of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia & Oceania

03 STILL GREAT, BUT SMALL UPGRADES • Apple’s new Watch lineup — the Ultra 3, Series 11, and SE 3 — looks exciting at first glance, but most of the upgrades are incremental. For recent owners, it’s a year of refinement rather than reinvention.

04 A RETURN TO FORM

05 PREMIUM WIRELESS AUDIO DONE RIGHT • Sennheiser’s HDB 630 finally gives the storied HD series the wireless, high-resolution upgrade audiophiles have long wanted. Bundled with a BTD 700 transmitter for near-wired fidelity, deep app-based tuning, and superb sound quality, these $749 cans deliver class-leading audio performance—despite fussy touch controls and merely decent ANC.

06 BIG AND FAST • The Ugreen Nexode Retractable Series Power Bank 20,000mAh 165W may have a long name, but it tells you everything it’s capable of, right from the get-go.

07 CHAOS, BUT FINALLY FUN AGAIN • Borderlands 4 shouldn’t have won me over—but it did. Gearbox’s latest entry dials back the noise, sharpens the chaos, and rekindles the fun at the series’ core, delivering a leaner, faster, surprisingly addictive return to form.

08 SMALL WRIST, BIG DISPLAY • In my previous review of the Pixel Watch 3, I expounded on why 45mm was the perfect size for Google’s smartwatch. Naturally, when the Pixel Watch 4 was announced, Google sent me the 41mm version instead. And guess what? I’ve grown to love it.

09 SO SMALL, SO CUTE. HAIYOOO… • As giant triple-slot GPUs dominate the market, Gigabyte’s RTX 5060 OC Low Profile stands out as a rare compact option that delivers full-sized performance. It fits small-form-factor builds, matches larger cards in most games, and sips power — with higher thermals the only real trade-off.
