Those who own or plan on owning Huawei or Honor Android devices may have been alarmed by reports that their parent company had lost crucial certifications necessary to use this OS. Despite this, however, Honor's latest flagships (the 20 and 20 Pro) have been found on the Google Play Certified list. One of Huawei's latest phones, the Nova 5i, is also present here.

While the Razer Blade 15 is arguably the better buy over the MSI GS65, the same can't be said for the Razer Blade Pro 17 and the MSI GS75. If you travel and type as much as you game, then the GS75 will cover all your bases a little better.

An XDA developer has gained access to new features in Google's Messages app for Android phones. It is called "Effects", and adds a small number of cartoonish, 3D edits to a new photo or video to be added to a message.

A new Samsung device with the model number SM-A107F has surfaced in a number of new leaks recently. Now, the same has shown up on the Wi-Fi Alliance's website as a device cleared to use this technology.

Microsoft is sure taking its time with the announcement of its rumored foldable Surface devices, but the company may have a good reason for this. The latest USPTO patent detailing an improved hinge system for foldable devices points to the fact that Microsoft does not want to release foldable devices with half-backed folding mechanisms similar to those plaguing the initial Samsung Galaxy Fold wave.

Dell has published the service manual for the XPS 15 7590 following its release yesterday, which would not usually turn heads. Stay with us though, as it confirms a tweak that will potentially fix one of the biggest gripes of the XPS 15 9570.

The two leaked cards are part of EVGA's XC-series that comes with improved cooling systems with dual HDB fans, extra heatsinks, metal backplates and RGB lighting. While the RTX 2070 SUPER model features higher boosts clocks, the RTX 2060 SUPER card gets a clock downgrade due to it having more cores and faster GDDR6 memory than the original version.

AMD looks to have sent the Radeon RX 5700 XT to reviewers, with 3DMark benchmark results popping up online. The upcoming 7 nm GPU scored well in Time Spy but fell short of the RTX 2070, probably giving the RTX 2060 Super an edge over AMD's next flagship card too.

Let's go! A set of photos of supposedly the upcoming Galaxy Note 10+ are circulating online, showcasing what looks to be a stunning device. With a near 100% screen-to-body ratio, practically zero bezels and a curved display, the Note 10+ will certainly turn heads.

The FCC has given Ossia the green light to begin installing Cota in industrial and commercials sites. Devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops can be recharged without any AC adapters much like how Wi-Fi has replaced RJ-45 in certain applications.

June 27 Update: Added comment in response to Razer's communications with NBC. We recently noted in our 2019 Razer Blade Pro review that its AC adapter hit the hottest temperature we've yet to measure on a gaming notebook, 67C. Based on historical evidence from Razer's 2017-2018 chargers melting or catching fire and the fact that the 2019 Razer Blade Pro's adapter is even hotter, I believe it may be prudent for the Singapore-based company to consider a recall — at least perhaps for adapters from their 2017-2018 Blade and Blade Pro systems.

A maximum frequency of 5.2 GHz was also measured.

Apple recently hired Mike Filippo, who formerly served as ARM's lead CPU architect.
