Philips introduces intelligent SenseIQ technology for its new Hair Dryer Prestige and Hair Straightener Prestige. Price and availability below.
SenseIQ technology offers personalised care for healthy hair, enabling the Philips Hair Dryer and Straightener Prestige to sense and adapt to the hair’s temperature and characteristics to provide personalised heat protection, styling and care.
Both the Philips Hair Dryer Prestige and the Hair Straightener Prestige offer an alternative to “one-size fits all” offerings in haircare in an industry that is pushing steadily towards technology-backed, personalized products and experiences.
Local Pricing and Availability
The Philips Hair Dryer Prestige (BHD628/03) and Hair Straightener Prestige (BHS830/00) with SenseIQ technology is now available in Singapore at the recommended retail price of S$249 each.
It will be available at the Philips e-store and all Philips-authorized retailers.
The Philips SenseIQ technology is activated through infrared sensors that continually sense the hair’s temperature, not the airflow, so the level of protection is completely personalized.
The intelligent microprocessor analyzes the data captured by the sensor and adjusts the temperature up to 4,000 times for the hair dryer and up to 20,000 times for the straightener to prevent overheating.

Initially launched in February this year, the 4K camcorder has just debuted in Singapore. The FDR-AX43 is now available on Sony’s online store at S$1,699.
Sony FDR-AX43 Compact 4K Ultra HD Handycam Camcorder for bloggers
The FDR-AX43 was developed for content creators and vloggers looking to produce footage that’s of better quality than that from a smartphone.
My Take:
Overall the Sony FDR-AX43 is an excellent camcorder for vlogger looking to improve video quality beyond that of a smartphone and desires an in-built gimbal for more professional footage, with good sound recording thrown in.
The camcorder is the newest member of a line-up that includes the AX33 and AX53, with its main addition being an in-built gimbal mechanism and its Balanced Optical SteadyShot technology for capturing smooth, natural and high-quality video footage.
So instead of purchasing and lugging around an external gimbal setup, it was a pleasure just using the compact FDR-AX43 during shooting.
When sitting down or just standing still, the footage came out totally free of shake.
The flip-screen of the Sony FDR-AX43 can be rotated 180 degrees for taking selfies.
But it’s when you’re walking (or even slightly jogging) that the embedded gimbal does its magic, producing smooth footage that doesn’t look like an amateur Blair Witch Project.
