infotainment

Infotainment (a portmanteau of information and entertainment), also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps are gaining traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed.

    MG4 New 12.3 inch screen??

    I’ve seen a few references to new MG4s in China and maybe Europe already have or will have larger infotainment screens - 12.3 inches. Does anyone have one of these new screens and if so are they more responsive to touch than the original screens? Thanks

    MG4 Mysteries

    Having owned my MG4 (Phase 2 / Australian version) for a little under a year now, I can say I'm pretty happy with it overall (so nice to drive!) but, it has a few quirks that I can't explain.

    Infotainment screen intermittent problems

    Hi all, Bought my mg5 ev (Facelift, exclusive, long range) July 2023, new, and I love it. Apart from the infotainment, that is.
