A dramatic prediction about the future of Xbox has been making the rounds online, claiming the brand could slowly fade away following recent leadership changes. The comments came from Seamus Blackley, often called the father of the original Xbox, who suggested the new leadership could act as a “palliative care doctor” guiding the brand toward a quieter sunset, in an interview with GamesBeat. And that is not the only grim take circulating right now. Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter recently claimed the next Xbox console is already dead, arguing that Microsoft “blew it by embracing Game Pass,” especially after price…

You answered part of the question there, Brandon. More accurate? Objectively, yes. It’s designed to be more accurate to how the content is created. Motion processing is turned off.

Foldable phones have been around for years, but one of the biggest design frustrations has been the visible crease along the internal display. Thankfully, that may finally be fading into history sooner than many expected. Two upcoming devices, the Honor Magic V6 and the OPPO Find N6, are both teasing creaseless inner screens, apparently pushing display technology toward a smoother experience before Apple’s rumored first foldable or Samsung’s next-gen models do.

After reviewing phones over the last few years, very little surprises me anymore. Bigger sensors, faster chips, and brighter displays, I’ve seen it all. Most of the time, the new “IT” factor revolves around hardware upgrades in these areas. So when a phone genuinely makes me think, “Okay, that’s pretty clever”, it feels like a breath of fresh air. The Galaxy S26 Ultra does just that. Apart from the flagship specs and the typical annual hardware updates, Samsung’s latest and greatest offers a host of thoughtful features that quietly improve everyday use, and that’s what I love about it. Now…
A new magnetic wireless power bank from Xiaomi is gaining attention – not because it’s an Android accessory, but because it feels like something Apple should have made. Its compact design, strong magnetic grip, and clean aesthetic make it look and behave like a premium iPhone-compatible accessory, offering a sleeker, more polished experience than many MagSafe alternatives. And yes – it works flawlessly with the Apple iPhone, despite not being an Apple product. A premium magnetic power bank that feels like it belongs to Apple’s ecosystem Xiaomi’s new magnetic wireless power bank instantly stands out because of its ultra-thin profile,…
A new challenger to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has quietly arrived – and it’s not from Samsung, Xiaomi, or Google. It’s the latest Leitz Phone, an ultra-premium, photography-obsessed flagship sold in extremely limited markets and produced under the Leica branding. For anyone who follows mobile imaging, this phone isn’t just another competitor. It’s a bonkers, camera-first superphone that out-muscles nearly every mainstream flagship in one specific arena: pure photographic capability. The twist? It’s only available in Japan, and stock sells out almost instantly. Yes – you can buy it, but only if you’re lucky. A camera system that pushes…
Pokémon nostalgia is having a moment again, and this time it is arriving in the form of a tiny music player that looks straight out of the late 90s. The Pokémon Center has released the Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue Game Music Collection Game Boy Jukebox, a collectible device designed to celebrate the iconic soundtrack that helped define the original Game Boy era. The idea is simple but instantly charming. Instead of streaming the music from an app or playlist, the collection packages classic tracks from Pokémon Red and Blue into a miniature Game Boy-style jukebox. It is the kind…
