Sony, for some reason, completely ignored the Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact in its Android 10 roadmap. The phones ran Android Oreo at launch and have only received one OS upgrade, to Android Pie. Owners of the phones aren't taking that kindly, though, and rightfully so.

Some fresh specifications supposedly linked to devkits of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have been shared online. Although many have already dismissed the information as fake, the consoles seem evenly matched in devkit form. Xbox has also updated its Twitter and Facebook accounts with an image of a console floating ominously over a body of water.

Welcome your new trash can overlords. These hi-tech bins house Nvidia Jetson TX2 AI SoCs and cameras to instantly identify the item you're holding and tell you how it should be properly disposed of.

Imaging sensors are used in a huge variety of electronics, which include digital cameras and smartphones. Their market was worth US$15.93 billion in 2018, but is now projected to be worth $29.99 billion in 6 years. This is thought to be related to their emerging relevance to autonomous vehicles.

Strengths of the Extensa 15 include the Core i5 processor, NVMe SSD, low noise levels and moderate heat development. The installed display represents the biggest weakness of the system. The preinstalled Windows 10 Pro OS is partially responsible for the price.

A new set of OnLeaks renders are based on a fresh Galaxy A70 variant. It has a triple rear camera, a rear-facing fingerprint reader - and epic, blocky screen bezels worthy of an up-to-date iPhone. The display in these images has both a pronouced chin and a waterdrop notch, thus hinting at the budget nature of this putative phone.

As the latest Qualcomm flagship processor, the Snapdragon 865 may be expected to gain a Plus variant (or 865+) later this year, in accordance with very recent tradition. A Weibo tipster now asserts that this will occur some time in the third quarter of 2020. This new version may power late-year versions of phones such as the OnePlus 8 and Nubia Red Magic 5G.

The T8i is the latest in the EOS Rebel series made by Canon. It has a 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor with a 45-point all-cross form of auto-focus (AF) with Face Detect. This Rebel is also the first of its line to feature vertical video for consumption on mobile devices.

A Chinese e-tailer site briefly carried a listing of the upcoming Intel 10th gen Comet Lake-S desktop CPUs qualifying samples (QS) for sale indicating that we may not have to wait much longer before retail units become available. Another site managed to get their hands on a Core i9-10900, but the base clock seems to be lower than what was expected.

The HP Pavilion x360 14-dh1153ng has a Comet Lake processor, an Intel Optane SSD and a backlit keyboard. The IPS touchscreen display can be operated with your fingers or using the HP Pen (1MR94AA, not included).

Time and again, laptop manufacturers equip their devices with up-to-date CPUs without adapting the system to the requirements of the new hardware. Asus also makes this mistake with the ZenBook 14, which raises the question of whether you should chose a slightly weaker CPU for less money.

Steam has published its hardware and software survey for January 2020. While the video card usage chart shows a better month overall for AMD after the bleak showing in December, there seems to be an interesting tussle starting between two new entries in the form of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and AMD’s Radeon RX 5700.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip's default keyboard seems to have a bug that automatically lowercases any letter typed in uppercase and this behavior is persistent even after fiddling around with the settings.

Huawei has been slapped with a trade ban from the US Administration that prevents it from selling to companies based in that country. However, the nation's Department of Justice (DoJ) had postponed it for 90 days by way of a new licensing system. Now, the same body has issued a further extension to the same.

The second generation of the X1 Extreme introduces new CPUs, a new GPU and a wider choice of displays. However, the X1 Extreme Gen 2 performs worse than its predecessor in some areas, especially in terms of its processor. We would recommend giving the 4K panel a miss too as it decimates battery life.

A company called Aria has put its new true-wireless (or TWS) earbuds up for crowdfunding on Indiegogo. This isn't hugely unusual these days - however, these SONG X products distinguish themselves with an innovative "Star Ring" charging case. They are also described as capable of delivering high-quality audio with robust Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity.

Nearly eight months on since launch, many AMD Navi GPU owners are complaining about random black screens and other driver inconsistencies even with the latest Radeon Adrenalin drivers.

AMD’s Renoir APU, the Ryzen 7 4800HS, has been spotted in action again. This time, the mobile processor was tested on 3DMark’s Fire Strike Ultra test, with the physics score recorded as 21,254 points. This puts it way beyond a tested Intel Core i7-9700K on 18,934 points and not a million miles behind the powerful Core i9-9900K on 24,794 points.

All the talk and expectation around mobile silicon from Qualcomm this year is understandably focused on its beastly Snapdragon 865.

These are of course, the Samsung Galaxy Book S and the Microsoft Surface Pro X.

So, what are the differences between them and is there much of a difference in performance between the chipsets?

A new report has suggested that an issue with components could force Sony to price the PlayStation 5 at around the US$500 mark instead of the much lower level that many fans would have been hoping for. Acquiring DRAM and NAND memory at higher prices could mean that the next-gen console costs over US$470 and toward US$500.

This would mark the first step toward Apple creating its own 5G modem.
