It’s been a while since Garmin gave us anything to write about, and now it’s quietly announced two (technically three) new smartwatches, all aimed at newbies looking to kickstart their fitness journey. The Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 (plus a 170 Music), as they’re known, will officially go on sale this Friday, 15 May. And South Africa is on the list. Their price(s) may not seem as beginner-friendly as the brand makes them out to be. But compare them to something a little more high-end within the Forerunner family, like the R16,500 Forerunner 970, and the R5,500 and R6,500 prices…

We’re not here to tell you that Samsung’s next Galaxy S flagships are likely releasing in early 2027. That’s just the standard at this point, as are the phones that the South Korean company brings with them. In this case, that’ll be the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, and the S27 Ultra. But it seems that Samsung is breaking tradition elsewhere this time. Not-so Samsung Galaxy S27 We’re specifically talking about the base Galaxy S27, rumours of which reckon it won’t truly be a part of the Galaxy family. Sure, it’ll have all the bits you’d expect from the weakest Galaxy…

You know about the Geely E2, the Chinese automaker’s ‘budget’ EV. But what about an EV that could eat those for breakfast and still have a little juice left in the metaphorical tank? That’s where the new Geely E5 Apex Plus SUV EV comes in, demanding a pretty specific R788,888 from your bank account before it’ll allow you to sit in it. Apex legend If that’s a bit too much to bear in the present climate, Geely also has two other E5 variants in SA — the E5 Aspire and the E5 Apex. The Aspire is the cheapest of the bunch,…

They grow up so fast. It seems like only 126 days ago, we covered the Honor Pad 10 Pro — a China-only tablet that titillated the senses. Now, the company has already announced a successor in the form of the Honor Pad 20, sans Pro. It’s expected to be a mid-ranger, but with no official pricing confirmed, there’s no telling yet. Honor’s latest Pad We do, however, have a (very plain) list of specs that turns our wild stab into an educated guess. The first clue is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC inside, now roughly two-and-a-half years old. It’s…

With how much love and attention apps like Checkers Sixty60 and Woolies Dash get these days, it now seems inevitable that OneCart would be sent to the grave. Not even the cynical bunch of realists at Stuff foresaw the service’s fate. OneCart will officially shut down on Sunday, 17 May, whether your money’s in there or not. OneCart no longer That means you’ll want to withdraw every single cent stored in your OneCart account before that date. Massmart-owned OneCart said as much in its initial announcement of the shutdown, which was emailed to users on 30 April 2026. Only seventeen days’…

It’s not often a new mouse gets much attention at Stuff unless it’s either covered in RGB, costs an unholy amount, or is actually in our hands. Logitech’s new leaked ultra-portable mouse is none of those things, and yet, here it is. It trades all that in for the promise of massively increased portability and, we imagine, a reasonable price. Better than a trackpad? While Logitech has yet to officially confirm the peripheral, it’s difficult to deny the photographic evidence currently paraded on WinFuture. The outlet shared what seems to be the first images of the as-yet unnamed mouse, which adopts…

Sleeping Snapdragon? We don’t know that there’s a Samsung Galaxy S26 FE in the works, just like we don’t know the sun will rise tomorrow morning. Whatever we think about the matter, it’ll happen all the same. We’re nearly as certain that a new ‘Fan Edition’ for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 is on the way, and now a fresh leak shows us just how right we were. This isn’t as extensive a leak as we’re used to from the South Korean giant, but it does give us a rough idea of how powerful it’ll be. Perhaps the biggest question mark surrounding the device…

We (and we’re guessing many of you) are still traumatised after the official fuel price adjustments. And yet, the Central Energy Fund (CEF) marches on, delivering another batch of predictions — this time for June. And, you know what? It seems that the country’s diesel drivers might be cut a bit of slack. Petrol drivers… not so much. Good news for diesel drivers this June That seems fair, considering what the country’s diesel drivers have gone through these last couple of months. Now, it won’t put everything right — the expected R2.48/l decrease is a drop in the bucket compared to the…

If you haven’t kept up with Amazon’s slate of free games (free if you have a Prime Video subscription, we mean), then perhaps May’s catalogue can change that. If you’ve got a Prime Video subscription and haven’t put it to good use yet, listen up. Each sub grants its owner access to Amazon Luna, Amazon’s basic tier of its cloud gaming service. While not technically available in SA, locals can still claim a couple of free PC games every month. Leave our backlog outta this! Starting with Mafia II: Definitive Edition in May. That’s the headline title that’ll keep you busy ’til you…

It was a busy day for Huawei yesterday, which not only gave its event attendees in Thailand a look at its upcoming kids’ watches, but also a look at a bunch of other products, too. Up first is the Nova 15 Max, followed by the Watch Fit 5 Series, with the MatePad Pro Max serving as a nice little chaser. Only those first two are likely to come to South Africa, however, but there’s no harm in drooling over the MatePad’s gloriously thin body from afar. Huawei’s super Nova? Not to be mistaken with the Huawei Nova 15 Ultra, the…
