Female Malaysia – July 2019

FEMALE CAR & GADGET AWARDS 2019

BEST COMPACT CAMERA

CANON POWERSHOT SX70 HS
“I must say that after having used phone cameras for the past few years to
shoot pictures, I did feel a little uneasy holding a real camera and moving
around with it. But despite this camera being a little bulky, it comes with
amazing functions that would suit holidaymakers best. Thanks to its autofocus,
I was able to shoot multiple photos under different lightings – both morning
and night. Another problem that I face when I take pictures is that I have
unsteady hands but this camera comes with an effective image stabilisation that
made the pictures turn out clear. Overall, it was an easy camera to use and
I’d definitely consider taking it during my vacations from now on!” – Vasenta

BEST FITNESS TRACKER

FITBIT CHARGE 3

“The latest incarnation of Fitbit’s Charge

fitness tracker has been updated with a range

of new features such as a touch screen, apps

and notifications from your phone. The new

larger screen displays more information but

comes at the cost of a slimmer form factor. If

you have small wrists like me, the bulk takes

some getting used to. Thankfully, the Charge

3 does what it says when it comes to fitness

tracking and it tracked my heart rate, physical

activity and sleep cycle reliably. The screen

is also backlit and bright enough to see in

daylight. What’s more, it’s water resistant

and the battery life is great too; I got by with

charging mine only once a week!” – Yi-Di

BEST PORTABLE SPEAKER BRAND

JBL

“If you’re constantly listening to music or podcasts at home, a portable

speaker is life-changing. JBL’s mobile speakers are easy to use and

waterproof too! Connecting to your phone via Bluetooth is a breeze

and after the initial pairing, you’ll only need to turn on the speaker for

the audio to switch over. The solid Clip 3 can lie flat on surfaces or hang

anywhere, thanks to the carabiner clip that makes it super convenient

to use anywhere – like in the shower, for instance! Even with its 10-hour

battery life, I like that the speakers automatically turn off if they don’t

detect audio input for some time to save battery.” – Yi-Di

BEST LIGHTWEIGHT NOTEBOOK

HP SPECTRE X360

“There’s no denying that this is a beautiful laptop. Each

time I took it out to use, its striking design and sharp

colours attracted no end of attention and compliments,

and that’s before I used the 360-degree folding lid to

seamlessly turn the laptop into a tablet! Amending

documents and taking notes is a dream with the stylus, and

the ergonomics of the notebook make the keyboard keys

comfortable to use. Take note that its attractive appearance

matches its efficacy; for example, the integrated Bang &

Olufsen speakers deliver clear and crisp audio, making it

perfect for streaming music or shows.” – Yi-Di
