Xiaomi India is currently teasing an event called "Smarter Living 2022", slated to launch a new product called the Mi TV 5X. This new flat-screen device has already been revealed to pack speakers rated to deliver 40 watts (W) of audio power. The OEM has also strongly hinted at a high-end, "immersive" experience in this new Mi TV.

Samsung chose to take a break from the Galaxy Note series this year, eschewing the Galaxy Note 21 in favor of the Galaxy ZFold 3 and ZFlip 3. Fans of the Note series have been looking forward to a comeback with the Galaxy Note 22 but new information calls that into doubt.

Google has reportedly developed an "Assistant Driving Mode", which will supplant Android Auto for Phone Screens with the introduction of the major 12 OS upgrade. Therefore, users with mobile devices that install this OS version will only ever find Auto on their cars' display going forward.

The Galaxy Watch4 and 4 Classic still have a few days to go before reaching their new owners. However, that has apparently not stopped them from receiving an OTA update already. This new firmware is rated to optimize stability and performance on the new wearables as they start to go to work tracking a user's health.

Bethesda has already released countless versions of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but the company is not ready to move onto The Elder Scrolls VI just yet. Come November, Elder Scrolls fans will also be able to experience a tenth Anniversary Edition and a next-gen upgrade.

Xiaomi is on the verge of releasing a 27-inch monitor in Europe. The 1080p and IPS monitor will arrive as the Mi Desktop Monitor 27" with TÜV Rheinland certification, a 75 Hz refresh rate and 300-nit peak brightness. The Mi Desktop Monitor 27" will launch in September.

According to recent leaks, the first foldable to be launched by the OEM Honor will be called the Magic Fold and might be here as soon as the last quarter of 2021. Now, a well-known tipster has posted what could be renders of this phone. They strongly suggest that it will look much like counterparts from Samsung or Huawei, but will have rear cameras similar to those of the brand's 50-series smartphones.

Realme is geared to release a slew of devices next month but the star of the show will be the company's first tablet, the Realme Pad. The Realme Pad is expected to rival Xiaomi's new Mi Pad 5, and details of the tablet have now surfaced ahead of launch, revealing some specs, dimensions, and even pricing speculation.

The folks over at Froggi.es recently updated Super Mario 64: Browser Edition to support iOS and Android devices. The browser game is compatible with Bluetooth and wired controllers like the Razer Kishi and runs remarkably well.

The Sony Xperia 5 III smartphone has appeared in its own Best Buy product page. Although the new 6.1-inch Xperia 5 III has a high price of US$999.99, savvy shoppers might still be tempted by the even pricier Xperia 1 III due to the greater amount of RAM and storage present and its 4K display.

You should have a closer look at the ThinkPad E15 G3 AMD if you are looking for a solid office laptop with a 15-inch screen and a very good keyboard. Thanks to the AMD Ryzen processor, you also get plenty of CPU performance, which can rival many slim workstations.

An apparent Intel Core i9-12900K qualification sample has been spotted in a few benchmark runs carried out via PugetBench. The i9-12900K was on an Asus ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WIFI motherboard, and it produced scores that put both the i9-11900K and AMD Ryzen 5950X in its sights.

Xiaomi failed to release a successor to the Mi Note 10 last year. The company appears to finally be working on such a device, though, and initial details of what could be the Mi Note 11 have now surfaced. As expected, the cameras are the stars of the show here.

The Envy 17 cg1356ng would really be well-suited for its targeted usage, if it weren't for the very reflective display causing some limitations in where it can be used.

An alleged Apple iPhone 13 Pro or possible iPhone prototype has appeared in a couple of images now doing the rounds on social media. The supposed iPhone 13 Pro in the pictures is purportedly “rose gold” although it has more of a purple or "dark bronze" hue to it in the images. The massive camera bump has seemingly ruled out the device being an iPhone 12 Pro.

The design of the rear case of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 11T has been revealed in an FCC listing. The certification database also mentions that the Mi 11T will operate on MIUI 12.5 out of the box and that it has an “overall diagonal dimension” of 174 mm. The Mi 11T is expected to sport a MediaTek Dimensity chip.

In just three days, Windows XP will turn 20. Released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, Microsoft's (now ancient) operating system is still being used by millions of people today (although the market share is below 1 percent), just a few months away from the release of Windows 11.

The latest market research suggests that an important tipping point in the mobile processor market has arrived. It seems the cost-effectiveness of new 4G/LTE processors will start dropping soon, as manufacturers and chip-makers inevitably turn their focus on 5G-capable platforms instead. On the other hand, this kind of connectivity is still not widespread enough to kill its predecessor off completely.

OnePlus could be launching a refreshed OnePlus 9 RT some time in October. The OnePlus 9 RT is slated to sport similar hardware as the current OnePlus 9R but will feature upgraded cameras such as the 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor. OnePlus 9 RT is also tipped to be the first OnePlus smartphone that would ship with OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12 out of the box.

The prospect of Windows 11 is strongly linked to mixed feelings at present. However, a study based on approximately 11,000 survey responses from participants who currently use the OS found that over 50% of this group would install the update without delay. Accordingly, 17% of the respondents are now in the Insiders program on the strength of Microsoft's latest launch.

Some recent leaks have pointed to the imminent release of the "Motorola Moto G50 5G" - which, as there is a device with this name and the requisite connectivity out there already, was a little confusing. A new tip purports to dispel this mystery with the explanation that there is indeed an upcoming second variant of this device, largely unchanged apart from its new SoC.

Google's new Pixel 5a 5G has been hailed for being a solid device for the money. It appears that the phone, or some specific units anyway, has a rather annoying issue: a tendency to overheat while recording 4K60 FPS video.

Asus has launched the Chromebook Detachable CZ1, a device with a processor from a series recently started by MediaTek with tablet-specific optimizations in mind. Its latest vehicle is also patently geared towards education with its robust construction and essentialist port selection. It also comes with a keyboard dock/cover that incorporates a stylus and a kickstand.

Tronsmart has announced the Studio 30W SoundPulse as its latest wireless speaker. It is rated to cover an open space of up to 10 meters in size with 2.1 channel sound for up to 15 hours per charge. Unlike most portable accessories of this type, it has a housing made of aluminum, yet is still IPX4-rated. It goes for ~US$70, or less with a coupon active at the time of writing.

Google has discontinued the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 smartphones. The US Google Store currently has both devices listed as being sold out with the only supply remaining through other retailers.

Motorola has taken the covers off the sequel to its US version of the Edge 2020 model. The device is a step forwards in some areas and a step back in others, but it will retail with a US$200 discount at launch increasing its overall appeal.

Apple is reportedly exploring the possibility of manufacturing iPad chassis from titan alloy instead of aluminum, which could greatly improve the tablet's lackluster rigidity and therefore rectify one of its most glaring weaknesses.

Sony has announced a new, more affordable variant of the Xperia 10 III for its home market Japan. Even though the price of the Xperia 10 III Lite is lower, the smartphone appears to be only slightly inferior to its more expensive brother.

After sending out the MIUI 12.5 update to Global ROM units of the Redmi Note 10, Xiaomi is now expanding the rollout to include the European model of the phone. The OTA delivers the July security patch, but Xiaomi's vaunted Second Space feature remains absent.

Samsung had been rumored to launch the Galaxy S21 FE during its recent major Unpacked event; however, the OEM ultimately neglected to bring the long-awaited flagship variant to the show. However, a new leak may reassure prospective buyers that it is indeed on the way, in the form suggested by previous tips.

Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Stereo Headset, a wired alternative to the Xbox Wireless Headset. Bluetooth and batteries are missing from Microsoft's latest headphones, but that has helped keep the price low.

Tesla has held a 2021 AI Day virtual conference, during which the company has apparently confirmed many predictions of a future in which jobs involving manual labor will no longer be a thing. This, according to Elon Musk, is because his company's Bot will take over from humans in doing them. This new machine may be one of the most convincing anthropomorphic automatons yet.

The Mi Mix 4 is Xiaomi's latest super-premium non-flexible smartphone. It is also the first of this category to rock an under-display selfie camera. Unfortunately, it now seems this upgrade has helped pushed its repair costs skyward, even compared to the Mi 11 Ultra with its higher-resolution display.

According to a report, the Galaxy S22 Ultra may not be the camera behemoth that past rumours and leaks suggested. Instead, the reality could be more run of the mill and nothing to get excited about if you already own a Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The MeLE Quieter2D is a particularly compact and fanless mini-PC. The machine is now available in a new variant with an Intel Celeron N4020 processor with 4 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of storage.

Recent Samsung flagship smartphones stand to benefit from One UI 3.1.1, albeit not with a revision change of their OS. Instead, Samsung will bring features from the new update to the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Note 20 series, among others, via another One UI 3.1 update.

Microsoft has published another Windows 11 Preview Build, albeit one with hardly any changes compared to its predecessor. Nonetheless, this week marks the publication of Windows 11 ISOs for consumers, enterprise and those in China.

At a time when companies like Remedy have received flak for how they handle cross-gen game upgrades, EA has decided on a $40 asking price for NHL 22 cross-gen compatibility. Gamers will need to shell out $100 for what’s described as “cross-gen entitlement,” nearly double the cost of the base game.

Asus has revived the nearly seven-year-old Nvidia GeForce GT 730. Its key specs include 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 384 CUDA cores and four HDMI 1.4 ports. Information about its price and availability is unknown for now.

According to reports, Google has delayed its first foldable smartphone project, codenamed Passport. The handset is expected to utilise the Google Tensor SoC, along with a 7.6-inch foldable display. Google is tipped to tease the Pixel Fold at its Pixel 6 series launch event later this year, though.

Samsung has announced that it is removing advertisements from all One UI stock apps. The change will occur later this year and will apply to services such as Samsung Music, Samsung Pay and Samsung Weather. Ultimately, they should never have been there in the first place.

A Redmi executive has accused Realme of being copycats after the latter company supposedly and blatantly copied some of Xiaomi’s recent initiatives. Ironically, Xiaomi has frequently been accused of copying Apple, especially in terms of actual product design. Realme and Xiaomi/Redmi are fierce competitors in many markets.

With its Nord phones, OnePlus has finally returned to being high-quality and inexpensive at the same time. And we like the OnePlus Nord 2 5G in particular, because it has been further improved in a consistent way.
