HW ENDORSES: Down-to-earth woody fragrances for everyday wear

There are two common (and antiquated) misconceptions about woody fragrances. Firstly, that they are primarily for men, and secondly, that there’s only one type of woody scent.

Pixel PERFECT(ED)?

Google’s new Pixel 7 smartphones promise improved photo quality with all-around improved cameras. They also pack a new generation of Google’s proprietary chipset, Google Tensor G2, although Google didn’t really say much of its performance beyond its extra TPU gains.

Weekend Drive AUDI RS3 SPORTBACK 2022

Ever since its inception, the RS3 has been defined as much by its cracking turbocharged 5-cylinder engine. Tragically and somewhat ironically, the same engine that makes the RS3 so unique also hobbles it in some ways. Imagine being at a supermarket and trying to steer a trolley full of watermelons, that's what happens when you put a big heavy 5-cylinder engine ahead of the front axle. I should know because I owned a first-generation 8P RS3 briefly.

Refining The #FoldableLife

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G comes in the same clamshell-styled phone with a 6.7-inch Main Screen tucked within and a 1.9-inch Cover Screen for the shortcuts you could possibly need. Besides the increase in battery life and charging speed, an upgrade to its processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1), and a slight increase in the main camera's pixel size (1.8μm pixel size versus 1.4μm), the Flip4 is a fraternal twin to the Flip3. Among the many refinements, Z Flip4's crease visibility appears to be diminished compared to the preceding Z Flip phones. But, Samsung has been very quiet about how they made those improvements.

The Watch We've Been Waiting For

The new Apple Watch Ultra is a super-powered Apple Watch for users who have been craving for more of what the vanilla Apple Watch couldn't provide. However, with established brands like Garmin, Suunto and Polar dominating extreme sports wearables, how does it feel to wear and use the Watch Ultra? The casing is now crafted out of titanium, which was last used in the older Apple Watch Edition. The metal mould around the outside of the watch and the big bulge on its right side are not unsightly at all. The photos you see online and from Apple's marketing videos don't do it justice.

World's Best Dynamic Headphone?

Focal made headlines with the first-generation Utopia back in 2016. The most common complaint was that it could do with more bass. Another common gripe about the Utopia was that it didn’t sound as wide as one might expect flagship-class headphones to be; particularly against Sennheiser’s HD 800S, which incidentally, costs a lot less. Fortunately, Focal has been listening to its customers’ feedback and they believe that these issues have been addressed with the new second-generation Focal Utopia.

The 5 Best Ultraportable Notebooks To Buy Now

The pandemic has forced us to change our lifestyles and work habits. And a central device to all of that is the ultraportable notebook. Advances in processor technologies and materials mean ultraportable notebooks have never been more powerful and portable. Furthermore, technologies like Thunderbolt 4 mean these notebooks can be docked when users reach home, which improves performance and functionality. With its blend of portability, performance, and versatility, is it any wonder then that ultraportable notebooks are now the system of choice for many users?
