@AcerAfrica's new Google TV Box has landed in SA at R1,499.99. More expensive than Fire TV Stick and Xiaomi’s streaming stick — but it promises AI upscaling, Dolby Vision + SteamLink. Worth the price?

AI smartphone features don’t need to be flashy — they just need to work.

@SamsungMobileSA's A56 5G and A36 5G bring genuinely useful tools like Circle to Search and Object Eraser to phones that don’t cost R25k.
