AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 GRE has strong 1440p claims, but 9 may be a hard sell

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE has now launched globally at Computex 2026. AMD first introduced the RDNA 4-based GPU in China in May 2025, so this is a wider rollout rather than a brand-new graphics card. It will be available from board partners starting June 2, in reference and overclocked versions, with a suggested retail price of $549. AMD is aiming this at 1440p gamers The RX 9070 GRE comes with 48 RDNA 4 compute units, 48 ray accelerators, 96 AI accelerators, and 3,072 stream processors. It has 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with up to 432GB/s…

Acer’s Aspire Badge is a wearable screen that also pulls double duty for emergencies

Wearables usually fall into one of two camps: devices that track your health or gadgets that bombard you with notifications. Acer’s new Aspire Badge is trying something different.

Sony’s True RGB technology is aiming for the best of OLED and Mini LED

The battle for premium TV buyers has largely revolved around two technologies in recent years: OLED and Mini LED. OLED has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional contrast and viewing angles, while Mini LED has pushed brightness levels to new heights. The tradeoff has often been deciding which compromise makes more sense for your room and viewing habits. Sony believes that conversation may be about to change. During a private media briefing in New York City, the company unveiled a new display technology called True RGB, which rethinks how a TV backlight works and aims to combine some of the…

Google’s first new smart speaker in six years might finally have a release date

Google has been unusually quiet about its Gemini-powered Home Speaker ever since announcing it in October 2025. I was expecting the device to make an appearance at the I/O 2026, but that didn’t happen either.  Now, a product page on Best Buy Canada just casually posted (read leaked) a release date, suggesting the wait is almost over. What does the leak suggest? As per the Best Buy page, the Home Speaker might be released on June 25, 2026 (via 9To5Google). The page has since been updated, and the launch date has been removed, which is the kind of thing that usually…

Samsung Galaxy phones have had a lockdown mode for years. It’s a manual option tucked inside the power menu that disables fingerprint and face unlock and forces a PIN entry.  It is a useful last resort for situations where someone might force you to unlock your phone with your face or finger. The problem was that most people either didn’t know it existed or never used it in the first place. One UI 9 fixes that, and it does so by removing the choice entirely. What exactly changed in the power menu? Spotted by SammyFans and corroborated by members of…

Wondershare PDFelement: One-Click PDF Workflow Optimization — Save Hours Every Day
