STORY KI’ERN TANAPP OF THE WEEK
Xbox One X
Price: $699
It’s slightly smaller than the Xbox One S, but Microsoft’s latest console — touted as “the world’s most powerful”
will take gaming and home entertainment to new immersive heights with its 4K HDR support, bigger memory and
faster processing. Another plus: it’s — pay attention, Sony — backwards compatible with everything Xbox One.
All you need now is a 4K TV to maximise that horsepower under the hood. Out now in stores.ANIMAL CROSSING:
POCKET CAMP
This version of Animal Crossing (Android
& iOS) takes place in the same lush 3D
rendered world, complete with adorable
sound effects and oh-so-cute characters.
However, instead of being the mayor of a
small village, you’re now the manager of a
campsite. Your job is to keep campers happy,
raise friendship levels, and earn Leaf Tickets,
the game’s currency. It’s not as fleshed out
as the original AC, but there’s enough here
to keep old and new fans happy.SOMNOX
Price: US$477 (S$640)
Currently being crowdfunded, this
bean-shaped cuddle pillow is
designed to fight sleeplessness. It
does so by simulating slow and
steady breathing patterns to
help insomniacs relax. It also
uses gentle motions and
sounds to wake sleepers
up more naturally. It’s a
lot of change for a pillow,
though. But you can’t put
a price on a good night’s
rest, right? From somnox.nl.SURFACE PEN

Pen offers zero lag and greater
