Hi Huneybees,

Samsung Electronics has announced the expansion of the popular Circle to Search feature to selected Galaxy A series devices* and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE Series, enhancing the search experience for more users. Originally launched with the Galaxy S24 series, Circle to Search has quickly gained a fan following for its innovative approach to search, allowing users to explore content effortlessly by simply circling, highlighting, or tapping on text, images, or videos without switching apps.

*To be rolled out beginning this month for the following models: Galaxy A55, A54, A35, and A34. Availability of Circle to Search updates may vary by device model and market.

Developed in collaboration with Google, Circle to Search offers AI-powered results that provide rich information and context, making discovery more intuitive and engaging. The feature has already been integrated into other Galaxy devices like the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6, and now, with its availability on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+, users can enjoy a more dynamic search experience with the larger displays and Galaxy S Pen.

Circle to Search continues to evolve, including functionalities like full-page translation, homework assistance, and QR and barcode scanning, making it a versatile tool for everyday use. By bringing this feature to more Galaxy devices, Samsung is furthering its commitment to innovation and collaboration, enabling users to ask more complex questions and explore their content in new and exciting ways.

We Love This Year's Edition Of The PC Show!

Hi Huneybees,

If you are like me, always on the look out for what's new in the technology market or maybe in need to upgrade your tech wares, head on over to Marina Bay Sands from 31 May to 3 June; as The PC Show is back for its 28th round!

This 28th edition promises a high brand recall among consumers, latest cutting edge technology from leading brand names and exclusive deals from our participating exhibitors. It’s a guarantee that there will be something for everyone - be it from the latest mobile devices to laptops, from printers to desktop computers, PC games, cameras, and TVs, this is an event not to be missed for deal hunters and tech enthusiasts alike.

The list of local and global participating brands are endless, so be sure to head on over to check them out - Acer, Aftershock PC, Apple, ASUS, Brother, Dell, Epson, HP, Lenovo, M1, Microsoft, Philips, Samsung, SanDisk, Seagate, Secretlab, Singtel, WD, Xiaomi, Sony, StarHub, Google, Canon, Olympus, Nikon, Huawei, GoPro, Omnidesk, Prism+, Razer, etc.

The PC Show is not just a place for deals, there are also lots to explore. Huney'Z World has picked out a few must-visit exhibitors: 

For the first time exhibitor and a local tech startup, teachnlearn, hopes to redefine the tuition industry with an online marketplace just like what Airbnb and Grab did for their respective industry. With the advancements made in technology and students growing more digitally inclined, technlearn is bringing remedial education in the form of convenience, efficiency and transparency to not just tutor and student; but parents too.

To promote technlearn services to the public, it is offering 1-For-1 for courses signed up during The PC Show!

Another local tech startup - Dreamcore -  envisions to be Singapore’s leading custom PC company by bridging personalization with size and performance to computing through its offering. 
This made-in-Singapore brand will be featuring two unique PCs at The PC Show 2018 with the ultra-compact and still Singapore's smallest PC - Dreamcore Bullet and the e-sports centric but NVIDIA-less Dreamcore Ghost, running on AMD Ryzen 3 2200G that comes with built-in Radeon Vega 8 graphics capable to play esports such as Overwatch, CS: GO, Battlegrounds, and Dota 2. 

Priced at just SGD875 at The PC Show, Dreamcore Ghost is definitely my pick for the best value performance e-sports PC!

Cryptocurrency aka “digital money” has gained its popularity among common folks, thanks to the surge in both value and payment acceptance of Bitcoins over the years.
While Cryptocurrency is a hugely speculative investment vehicle not for the faint-hearted, Cryptomouse, also a local tech startup, is offering a less risky investment alternative into cryptocurrency through "Crypto Mining". Crypto mining is about providing a record-keeping service aimed at keeping the cryptocurrency blockchain in shape, complete and safe, as well as unalterable through specialised PCs known as "mining rigs" running round the clock; in exchange for a small friction of the cryptocurrency that rig owner supports.

Huneybees can learn more about crypto mining, the price of the mining rigs, such as RX580 at SGD6288, and the different hosting services by Cryptomouse at The PC Show!

There are a few characterized segments catered specially for different customer groups at this year's The PC Show that I found pretty refreshing. One such designed zone is Women Tech where exhibitors (from Canon and Hp) market innovative IT, electronics gadgets targeting at women.
For action camera users, you may head to the Know Your Tech zone where exhibitor GoPro will be holding a Masterclass for their latest model at 3pm on 2nd and 3rd June 2018. No pre-registration is required!

There's even a MoveFuture zone where mobility meets technology. This zone features everything from e-scooters and e-skateboards, and exhibitor Mobot will be holding two (2) unique all day activities at their booth - Safe Riding Programme and E-Scooter Balacing Art - both of which visitors can stand to win prizes in a lucky draw worth up to SGD5,000.

For gamers at this year’s PC Show, there will be a slew of competitions for all to enjoy at the GG Gaming zone, which hosts the GAM3.SHOW 2018. Huneybees can catch the ROG Champions Cup, Razer and FIFA 18 Community Challenges and rub shoulders with Singapore’s very own local Pro-Gamer "Xian"! There will be four (4) different gaming competitions for anyone to participate in on-site. Interested parties will need to register online (www.gam3show.com) to participate in the competitions on-site.

The PC Show 2018

Venue: Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre (Level 1)

Date: 31 May to 3 June

Time: 12pm – 9pm daily

Looking Forward To LG x BTS Upcoming Smartphone

Hi Huneybees,

This year is gona be a very exciting year for LG fans and BTS ARMY fans! 

Having ranked 25^th position in ‘The 2018 Harris Poll Reputation Quotient® Rankings', outperforming Google, Apple, and Samsung in the annual consumer survey of 100 most visible companies in corporate value and brand awareness; LG has teamed up with today’s hottest K-Pop boy band - BTS and they will be starring in a series of TV and social media campaigns for LG’s mobile products, beginning with the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone!

This is LG's most ambitious and wide-reaching outreach campaign to date and both LG and BTS will collaborate on a diverse marketing campaign that reflects the uniquely colorful personalities of each of group’s seven members. The campaign will highlight the band’s talent, attitude and relationship with its fans, the very qualities that LG hopes to bring to its upcoming products starting this quarter. 

LG Electronics' core mission of enriching lives of consumers all over the world, securing its reputation as a brand that truly touches hearts with its diverse and sophisticated portfolio of innovative technologies. They are constantly challenging boundaries with state-of-the-art technologies that often takes the lead across product categories, such as the world’s best-selling OLED brand since 2013, the Global No.1 Selling 21:9 Monitor Brand for 12 straight quarters from 2013 to 2015 and being the market leader ranking Global Number 1 Selling Home Appliances Brand (Excluding China) for washing machines.

Pairing with BTS, the first K-pop artists to crack the Billboard Top 10 and perform at the American Music Awards. It's like match made in heaven!

So, whilst fans are getting hyped up and comparing over their all-black hair looks #BTSBlackHairParty, I'm definitely looking forward to what special LG x BTS merchandises there will be, especially those endorsed by my favourite Taehyung.

Here's leaving you with BTS's recent single Mic Drop as we all look forward to products from this new partnership...

[Tried & Tested] O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum Works Wonder On My Skin

Hi Huneybees,

I returned home to find a package waiting for me at the table. I finally received my O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum from Wishtrend! The product is nicely wrapped with bubble wrap and the product reached  me in tip-top condition.

According to the Wishtrend site, the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum was the best selling item of 2012 and was even ranked the best selling item in Singapore No.1 commerce (2012)! There are also many benefits listed, like how it can tighten up loose skin, can whiten or recover trouble scars, and remove blackheads.

• Volume : 30ml
• All Skin Types
• Made in Korea

The product came titled in English, but the rest of it is in Korean, lucky at Wishtrend, they have a review video as well as some product knowledge and how to use.

The O.S.T. Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum comes in dropper bottle, with the dropper packed separately, so that the Vitamin C is kept fresh in the bottle. The bright orange packaging already spells it all and the dark coloured is used to block out light which will cause the Vitamin C to oxidise and lose its effectiveness. So, after opening, keep it refrigerated. (*Applying the cool serum on my skin is also very refreshing every morning.)

There's a fresh welcoming citrus fragrance when you open it and I like how they used a dropper system to maintain the state of the serum, leaving it uncontaminated and so you can share it with your mothers and sisters.

The serum has a slight yellow tinger and it feels thick with a gooey consistency, but it is super absorbant! I basically apply 2-3 drops on my face after cleansing my face and applying toner. A few simple massaging of the serum and it gets fully absorbed into the skin.

At first, when I first started using, there was a slight tingling sensation. I was a little frightened as I have hyper sensitive skin, I thought I was having a reaction. But after Googling, I realised that is so for the first few usage, and it is true. 4 days after using the product, the feeling is gone and I guess the product is starting its magic on my skin.

The fine lines on my skin seem to have lighten, become less obvious and my face seemed to have its own glow back. If you have been following my Instagram, I have gone with minimun makeup recently, coz I really love how my skin is showing off its natural beauty ~ 

Here are also some of the FAQs on the website...

The OST Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum is retailing at USD24.99 for a bottle of 30ml and is exclusively available at WishTrend! http://www.wishtrend.com/502–ost-original-pure-vitamin-c-20-serum.html.

New and existing customers can use the following code for discounts.

-Voucher Code: RFXLSCOZ (3 USD voucher / Able to combine with other voucher) 
-Expiry date: the end of 2013
-Minimum Amount to Use: Over 20 USD order

Google remembers Bram Stoker with a Doodle

 Huneybees,

Before all the glittery Team Edward, is the romantic literary Abraham "Bram" Stoker's Dracula! And today - 8th November, Google is honoring the author with a Doodle.

Bram Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on November 8th, 1847. He written a dozen novels and a few collections of short stories in his 40-year career, but of course, everyone know him for famously for his 1897 novel "Dracula"! It is the ancestor of vampire novels and alot has spun off from the novel. He created the most famous "monster" in history and Dracula‘s blend of romance and horror lead it to be a widely read and studied novel still, even in a culture saturated with vampire references.

Stoker died in 1912 at the age of 64 and this marks his 165th birthday (if he's still alive). I'm glad he created the vampire love story so that there is Twilight! I can't wait for the grand ending of Twilight end Nov! =)

Your Very Own Private 3D Mobile Screen - Epson Moverio BT-100 See-through Mobile Viewer

Hi Huneybees,

I was invited to ION Sky when Epson announced the company’s most radical and innovative personal display devices ever – the Epson Moverio BT-100 see-through mobile viewer which operates on the Google Android™ 2.2 platform.

Interesting packaging. Can't wait to see the product...

I met up with several other invited bloggers and tech guys, everyone was excited to know more about this revoluntionary piece of technology. We had drinks, canapes and waited for the time for the "star" to appear...

Dancers showing how the Moverio is versatile for people of all walks of life and with their dancing and jumping, the Moverio, stayed on...

 

Host for the night - Melody Chen
She looked like she could star in Star Trek anytime...

Mr Koichi Endo, Managing Director of Epson South East Asia.

Mr Koichi Endo gave us a short brief on Epson's Moverio BT-100 and he ended off saying he could have done the whole presentation with the Moverio (if he had loaded the information in) and not reading off the piece of paper in his hand.

A introduction by Vernon Wong to help us understand more about the Moverio.

Yipee! Time to give the Moverio a test drive...

OMG! I got the most amazing massage and viewed movies using the Moverio!

Even without the shades, I can see the movie clearly and you can't see what I'm watching!
*I was watching a 3d skiing film while taking this photo...*

This is the clip for people who wear glasses. simply rest the Moverio on you glasses with the adjustable clip on the sides.

The Epson Moverio BT-100 leverages Epson’s leadership in LCD technology and visual imaging to project a 320-inch perceived “floating” display 20 meters away from the user, for web browsing, playing games, watching videos and interacting with content privately, while still allowing the user to experience and see the real world, thanks to its see-through ability.
