Realme touts the new 9i as a budget smartphone with leveled-up power

The Realme 9i has launched as the base model of its series in India (to date, at least). It has a new, 6nm 4G/LTE processor and faster charging compared to its predecessor. Then again, some consumers might find it a downgrade compared to the 8i, particularly in terms of its display.

Realme debuts the 9 Pro series in India with a flagship camera and up-to-date 5G processors

Realme has officially augmented its 9 series of smartphones with a new kind of top-end variant, the 9 Pro Plus. Despite this name, the 9 Pro has the larger display and battery, not to mention the higher refresh rate, of the two. However, its new sibling may make up for that with the only AMOLED panel of the pair - not to mention a newer and potentially improved main camera.

LG OLED42C24LA: World's first 42-inch OLED TV launches for £1,399

The LG OLED42C24LA is the first OLED TV to feature a 42-inch display; previously, OLED TVs only went as small as 48-inches. Still, a 6-inches smaller panel does not shave anything off the OLED42C24LA's price tag compared to its 48-inch sibling, the OLED48C24LA.

Nintendo finally decides to draw the curtains on Wii U and 3DS eShops after March 2023 effectively curtailing prospects of fully owning classic games

Nintendo has now confirmed that the Wii U and 3DS eShops will cease operations after March 2023. The company will gradually be disabling features such as ability to use credit cards and gift cards from May this year. What's probably more disheartening is that Nintendo actually removed a Q&A section that indicated Virtual Console games will not be available in any other manner and users will have to contend with the paltry selection available via Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Electric vehicles no longer the greenest as buyers want bigger and more powerful EV trucks and SUVs

Electric vehicles no longer the greenest as buyers want bigger and more powerful EV trucks and SUVs

Fully electric vehicles now occupy only four of the top dozen or so slots in the greenest American cars ranking, down from seven last year. The plug-in or gasoline hybrids of the 2022 model year turned out to be more energy-efficient than new EVs that are constantly growing in size and horse power.
