(Video) It Was Samsung All Along! Viral KL Billboard Search History 'Leak' Mystery Finally Revealed
Last week, commuters were met with a peculiar sight on the LDP highway as flashes of someone's search history were leaked on a digital billboard for all to see. Finally, we're getting some answers on the mystery surrounding the highly personal searches, and no one could've expected the reveal. Yesterday (Monday, 19th May 2025), Samsung Malaysia claimed on their socials that it was them who were responsible for the so-called glitch. The billboard leak was revealed to be an advertisement for their new Gemini Live AI function, paired with an invitation to join their upcoming event. The post on their socials read, 'It was us. Always has been. #DoneClaim', paired with a video that showed hints that were just under our noses. Looking closely at the ad, the billboard not only showcased someone's search history but also an error message containing subtle hints leading to Samsung, such as a direct mention of Samsung Malaysia Electronics and a word play on Gemini. So what was all that for? The ad was a sneaky intro to Samsung's Gemini Live, which feels more like talking to your best friend than an AI model. The AI assistant is ready for download across all devices, but is readily built into the Samsung Galaxy S25 for ease of use for users. Samsung also invites the public to experience Gemini Live at their Samsung AI TalkSpot at The Starhill from 21st – 27th May 2025. Did the billboard ad catch your eye?

I Never Thought I'd Ditch My Old-School Watch – Then This Smart Ring Changed Everything
Subscribe to our FREE Let's get real: I'm that guy who always thought smartwatches were for tech bros and fitness fanatics. Give me my trusty mechanical watch any day – there's something about those ticking hands that just feels right, you know? So when Samsung Malaysia offered to let me test their new Galaxy Ring, I figured, 'Why not? At least it's not another smartwatch.' Plot twist: Three weeks later, I'm not only wearing this high-tech ring, but I also But in true Malaysian fashion, not without some good deals from Samsung Malaysia – you know, those irresistible bundles, vouchers, and that sweet, sweet trade-in program. Because we may love our tech, but we love our discounts even more. Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra (left) and Galaxy Ring (right) represent two different approaches to smart wearables – one bold and visible, the other subtle and understated. (Pix: Fernando Fong) The Silent Observer: This Ring Judges You Less Than Your Fitness Freak Friends Here's the thing about the Ring: it's sneaky. It doesn't scream 'I'm a piece of tech!' like most smart gear. It just sits there on your finger, looking like some minimalist jewellery, quietly doing its thing. And by 'its thing,' I mean tracking your sleep, heart rate, and basically everything your body's up to, without being all in-your-face about it. The Samsung Health app synchronises data from both the Galaxy Ring and the Watch Ultra. One app to rule them all – and judge your sleep habits. 📱💤 (Pix: Fernando Fong) The real kicker? I started actually caring about this health stuff. Not in an obsessive way, but more like, 'Huh, so that's why I feel like garbage after staying up late watching Netflix.' The Ring was like having a friend who subtly hints you might want to get more sleep, instead of that one buddy who won't shut up about their CrossFit routine. When your Galaxy Ring analyses your sleep and decides you're an alligator: light sleeping, quick to wake, and probably looking fierce before breakfast. One of eight sleep animals in Samsung Health's sleep type analysis. 🐊😴 (Pix: Fernando Fong) The Gateway Effect: How a Ring Turned Into a Watch But here's where it gets interesting. After a couple of weeks with the Ring (thanks again, Samsung Malaysia), I found myself thinking, 'You know what would make this better? A screen.' And just like that, this die-hard analogue watch guy was at the online store, buying a Galaxy Watch Ultra with his own money. The shame. The horror. The… convenience? Together, these things are like the dynamic duo I never knew I needed: Both: Weirdly better battery life when used together (like 30% better – who knew?) Ring: The quiet friend who keeps tabs on everything Watch: The one who speaks up when you need to know something Ring vs. Ring: One tracks your health, the other tracks straight to your guilty pleasures. Guess which one's actually better for you? (But we know which one's more fun on movie night 😉) (Pix: Fernando Fong) The Hybrid Life: When Old School Meets New School Look, I still love my old-school watch. But now I'm doing this weird rotation thing where sometimes I'm full tech-bro with the Watch Ultra and Ring, and other times I'm rocking my mechanical watch with just the Ring keeping tabs. And you know what? It actually works. The Good Stuff: Ring is so light you forget it's there Useful health tracking (not just step-counting nonsense) Watch Ultra looks decent enough for a smartwatch The combo works better than either alone The Not-So-Good: Realising you can't blame bad sleep on 'just not feeling tired' Your wallet will feel it Explaining to watch-loving friends why you 'switched sides' Having to charge two devices (though not as often as you'd think) Beauty in the details: A macro shot revealing the Galaxy Ring's sensor constellation. What looks like sci-fi jewellery houses three precision sensors working in harmony to decode your body's signals. 📸 (Pix: Fernando Fong) From Watch Purist to Tech Convert: A Cautionary Tale If you'd told me a month ago I'd be writing about ditching my beloved analogue watch for a smart ring and watch combo, I'd have laughed in your face. But here we are. The Ring (courtesy of Samsung Malaysia) was the gateway drug, and the Watch Ultra (my own impulse purchase) sealed the deal. Should you try it? If you're like old me, start with just the Ring. It's a gentle introduction to the whole health tracking thing without making you feel like you're betraying your watch-loving soul. Fair warning though – you might end up like current me, surprisingly okay with having a screen on your wrist. Foreground: The Galaxy Ring doing its best 'I'm just jewellery' impression. Background: Watch Ultra quietly flexing. Together, they're your 24/7 health tracking dream team.
