Sony’s mobile business is somehow still hanging in there despite not struggling in sales and being not as popular as its South Korean, Chinese, and American competitors, by quite a margin in both cases. For 2025, the Japanese electronics giant has announced the Xperia 1 VII—a flagship that brings together the company’s own take on imaging,

One of the best PC gaming handhelds on the market right now is MSI’s Claw 8 AI+ (see our recent review), a premium device built around a large and vibrant 8-inch display (with variable refresh rate or VRR support) powered by Intel’s Lunar Lake platform. If you’re not a fan of the sandstone colorway, however, MSI has announced a new Polar Tempest

For the first time, SteelSeries has curated a selection of premium all-white gaming peripherals simply called the SteelSeries White Collection. Making up the set are three headphones (Arctis Nova 5, 7, and Pro Wireless), the Arctis GameBuds earbuds, Aerox 3 mouse, and Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 keyboard. Don’t be mistaken: these aren’t just ideal

If you ask any PC gamer in 2025 if prices have risen for their hobby, chances are you’ll get a thunderous ‘YES’ or, more accurately, ‘Ugh, YES!’. Ask them which component is largely the culprit, and the graphics card will surely be at the top of the list. In both performance and pricing, NVIDIA leads the pack with its GeForce RTX 50 series

SanDisk is laying claim to the fastest PCIe Gen 5.0 solid state drives on the planet (in the consumer realm, presumably) with its new WD_Black SN8100 series, the same one that made an early appearance on Amazon ahead of the official launch. The announcement comes hot on the heels of Kingston unveiling its ferociously fast Fury Renegade G5

At this point, it’s not much of a secret that AMD is getting ready to introduce a new round of Ryzen Threadripper processors, with the upcoming 9000WX series of high-end desktop (HEDT) chips based on Zen 5 possibly being revealed at Computex (AMD is planning a livestream event on Tuesday, May 20 at 8:00 p.m. PST / 11:00 p.m. EST). Lest there

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 range of flagship phones is now complete, thanks to the addition of the new, svelte Galaxy S25 Edge handset. Its 5.8mm-thick titanium main frame is bound to elicit some “oohs” and “aahs” from smartphone lovers worldwide, especially those drooling over the upcoming iPhone 17 Air.

The Edge (phone, not the U2 guitarist)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been a hit for Microsoft, as the game has seen over 4 million players embark on the refreshed experience through Cyrodiil. However, there are still plenty of rough edges to deal with unfortunately. On the PC side, gamers were forced to find and share fixes for framerate issues. Now, after a second

When it comes to “companies that gamers groan in irritation,” you probably think of names like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Activision, NCSoft, Konami, and maybe Nexon or Capcom. You might not think of Nintendo just yet, but the company is rapidly speedrunning its way to the very top of that list with aggressively anti-fan and anti-consumer behavior.

With recent GPU prices experiencing incredible surges, it’s only fitting that at least they be made of solid gold, right? We’re not far from that reality, with the ASUS ROG Astral Dhahab Edition GeForce RTX GeForce 5090 now available. This GPU is made to celebrate how fast the Middle East has advanced, with the theme of going from sand to

If you have a need for blazing-fast speed AND the kind of premium image quality that only OLED displays can deliver, then Samsung has some good news. It’s new Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) display with a blistering 500Hz refresh rate has officially arrived, at least in preorder form, with a retail release (and shipments) now less than a week away.

China-America trade war be darned, it looks like Chinese phonemaker Honor has been getting sweet enough with Google that its Honor 400 series will be the first in the world to feature Google’s Veo 2 AI video generation tool baked into MagicOS 9.0. The tool will allow users to generate five-second videos from static photographs and will be

It’s now or never, dear readers—the final so-called “micro” full Moon this year will be culminating tonight. The Moon will technically be furthest away from Earth today at 251,939 miles, but when viewed this evening near the horizon, our little planetary satellite will still appear larger than usual due to a human perception phenomenon called

Kingston just rolled out a new flagship solid state drive (SSD) and, at least on paper, it’s an absolute scorcher. Called the Fury Renegade G5, it’s a follow-up model to the original Fury Renegade, but with rated read and write speeds that are up to twice as fast (or more) thanks in big part to leveraging the PCI Express 5.0 bus (versus PCIe

Despite the long gap between the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI and the previous installment (Grand Theft Auto V), as well as an unexpected delay from a fall 2025 release until May of next year, anticipation for a video game has never been higher. Heck, you could cite the gap and subsequent launch delay as contributing factors. So,

It took several years, but there’s finally a proposed resolution for a privacy fumble related to Siri that prompted a rare apology from Apple back in 2019. As part of the proposed settlement, Apple would dole out $95 million in collective funds to past and present Siri device owners, though there is a deadline that is fast approaching to file

Almost two years ago, people were already complaining of stability problems in Unreal Engine games played on Intel CPUs, but the issue really came to light when huge numbers of customers trying to play Tekken 8 in Korea started returning their Raptor Lake chips in droves. Intel responded by launching a comprehensive investigation and found

It’s almost Mother’s Day and if the annual maternal day of celebration crept up on you, have no fear—in addition to the flowers and candy that you might have picked up last minute, there’s still time to go bigger with some sweet savings on a variety of earbuds and headphones. And yes, some of them will even arrive by tomorrow (Mother’s Day)

Hive Systems has released the 2025 edition of its password crack time estimate table, and it’s a doozy. Among many other findings, the company’s researchers calculated that all random passwords around 8 characters in length are easily brute-forced with only consumer-grade hardware.

Hive Systems used only 12 RTX 5090 cards for this experiment.

With the gaming world is buzzing over the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, the Video Game Hall of Fame at the Strong National Museum of Play announced some new additions. The new inductees for this year are Defender, Goldeneye 007, Quake, and Tamagotchi. This group of games had some serious competition to make the final cut, which included
