I’m sure most of you own a Samsung product, possibly a home appliance; if not, Samsung has just made it very compelling to purchase one that is bespoke and also powered by AI. Samsung’s Bespoke AI home appliances have a myriad of features and functionality to customise your choices, make it easy for all age groups to use and control, accurately monitor and reduce energy consumption, and get a seamless diagnosis and service when required.
Currently, the Bespoke AI Appliances include refrigerators with food recognition and management with cooking suggestions, air conditioners with truly remote control (from distant locations), microwaves with personalised recipes, and washing machines with user-habit-based wash cycles and management. These appliances can also provide incredible energy savings (up to 70 per cent in washing machines), thereby enhancing sustainability and a better environment. Samsung’s Bixby AI voice assistant lets you manage all these devices seamlessly. The future is here and now!

This nifty powerbank is ultra-affordable, and thanks to its light weight, it can be carried just about everywhere. I gotta say, I enjoy taking this 10,000 mAh powerbank with me, whether it’s for functions or travel, as it looks very sleek (almost like a slim mobile phone) and provides at least two charges for my iPhone/Android phone. Another advantage is the presence of four slots (two USB-A, one USB-C, and one Micro USB), allowing me to charge up to four devices simultaneously. Fuel Buddy offers decent charge speeds and takes up to 2.5 hours to get fully charged. Incredible for the price.

Here’s an excellent wireless powerbank with a metallic body, a 10,000 mAh capacity, and PD charging up to speeds of 22.5 W from Unix. This powerbank makes life convenient for iPhone users like me as it provides both wired (22.5 W) and wireless (15 W) charging along with Mag-Safe tech for enhanced convenience. The UX 1531 also incorporates multi-layer charging protection and LED indication of power status. On usage, I found that the UX 1531 can easily provide up to two charges for iOS phones and about 1.5 charges for larger battery-capacity Android phones. It is a wonderful powerbank that is available in Black, and Silver, which makes life simple.
