Ed’s Note

HWM Singapore

01 CIVILIZATION VII IS SHAPING UP TO BE A STANDOUT ENTRY IN THE SERIES • Unlike some of the more convoluted systems in earlier Civ titles, Civilization VII offers a series of clear, well-organised tutorials that guide new players through the early game.

02 THE CONNOISSEUR’S PHONE • If you’re a photo-taking purist or someone who holds wired audio in high regard, the Xperia 1 VI speaks your language. Sony continues its tradition of including hardware features that are all too rare on today’s high-end smartphones.

03 ENTRY LEVEL AUDIOPHILE • Right out of the box, the HD 505 presents a familiar yet refined design that borrows cues from its siblings. The earcups sport a robust metal mesh grille reminiscent of the HD 560S, while the plush synthetic leather headband echoes the comfort found in the HD 599.

04 THE COMEBACK KING • The Find X8 Pro embodies the core of the Find X experience with features inspired by Apple’s iPhones yet retaining its unique OPPO identity. Long-time fans will recognise the physical Alert Slider with its three modes (ring, vibrate, and silent).

05 THE DEEPFAKE DETECTOR • If you’re looking for a relatively affordable 2025 flagship powered by Snapdragon, the Honor Magic7 Pro is an easy choice. Its unique deepfake detection and improved AI features make it stand out, though a few quirks may not suit everyone.

06 THE BEST COMBO YET? • As an existing owner of the original Sonos Arc paired with a Sub 3 and two One SL surround speakers, I was curious: How much better is the new Arc Ultra and Sub 4 combo? And is it worth upgrading from the older Arc?

07 GOING BEYOND ULTRA • This year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra has massive shoes to fill, and from what we’ve seen, it does a pretty stellar job of balancing privilege with the responsibility that comes with its premium price tag.

Mac Buyer’s Guide: Which Apple Mac Should You Buy? • With the release of the new Mac Pro in 2023, Apple completed the transition of its Macs from Intel processors to its custom-designed M-series silicon. To be honest, because of the sheer performance of these chips, there really isn’t a bad Mac. They are all immensely capable machines. That said, there are some considerations you should keep in mind when deciding on a new system. This guide will tell you what you need to consider when shopping for a new Mac, and which one is best for you.
