Samsung 8K Q900R QLEDIn terms of TVs, the big talking point at IFA 2018 has very much been whether 8K is the format of the future or the present. When fed 4K demo content, the drop in resolution appeared hard to determine, while 1080p footage remained natural and generally artefact free. Not to be left out of the resolution revolution, Toshiba also showed off its own 8K concept TV.

It’s not all about the aesthetics however, with the speaker boasting a huge, full-bodied sound that dazzled during its demo. While we’ve got reservations about its quirky controls, it was easily one of the more powerful audio experiences at the show.

It’s been talked about for years , but commercially available 8K TVs finally arrived in force at IFA 2018 in Berlin. That’s beginning to get to the size where 8K resolution actually brings a visual advantage, though it also has 65, 75, 82 and 85-inch 8K TVs. Talking of which, the Q900R TVs also have Real 8K Resolution, Q HDR 8K and a Quantum Processor 8K.

Apple is set to announce new iPhone models on September 12 and ahead of that the phones would need to be certified by various organizations around the world, one of which may have just certified the 6.1-inch iPhone 9. However, we’re expecting to see three new iPhone models – a 6.1-inch LCD model at the bottom end, likely dubbed the iPhone 9, then 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED phones, which could be called the iPhone XS or iPhone 11 and iPhone XS Plus or iPhone 11 Plus.

With all the leaks that are emerging we have little doubt that we’ll get an official look at the Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL before long, and now there’s more evidence that they’re coming soon, as they’ve both been certified in Taiwan. Specifically, they’ve been certified by the NCC (National Communications Commission), in a listing that was spotted by MySmartPrice, and there’s no question as to what devices they are as the two phones were referred to by name, though they also came with

That being said, we did see a lot of really innovative smart home gadgets at the conference, with smart speakers prevailing over other connected smart home gear.

Skype’s desktop and mobile apps are getting another design overhaul, aimed at appeasing users who weren’t happy with the previous one. Since acquiring the online messaging service in 2011 Microsoft has rolled out several redesigns and new features, although not always to much fanfare. A blog post from Skype admitted that Highlights “didn’t resonate with a majority of users”, and set out its aim to focus on the core messaging features its community is actually making use of. On mobile, the app is

But what is an Ultrabook? The term Ultrabook became popular towards the end of 2011, when Intel wanted a term to differentiate modern thin and fast laptops from the laptops that came before. Ultrabook featuresWhen Intel first defined Ultrabooks, it set a number of criteria that laptops needed to meet to be labelled as an Ultrabook. First of all, to be an Ultrabook, a laptop needs to be incredibly thin: under 1-inch thick. We’ve tested a number of laptops (Ultrabook and otherwise) with 8th genera

A new leak apparently shows the 3DMark benchmark score of the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti, and if it is legitimate it means the RTX 2080 Ti offers a 35% increase in performance compared to the GTX 1080 Ti. While this potential improvement is welcome, it is also less of a leap than what the GTX 1080 Ti managed compared to the GTX 980 Ti. The GTX 1080 Ti is still a formidable card, so there’s only so much improvement Nvidia could make. This follows a previous leak that suggests that the Nvidia RTX 2080 out

This is something Toshiba hopes to rectify with its latest range of high-spec TVs, including its first ever 8K TV concept model. Streamlined designToshiba’s aim is to bring the 8K TV to the mainstream market, by developing an 8K TV that is more accessible for a wider variety of users and homes.

The Google Pixel 3 XL has been leaked so much at this point that it almost seems like it must be intentional. After all, the Google Pixel 3 XL is a phone that’s been snapped in the wild numerous times, as well as having been seen in leaked renders, and this latest leak lines up exactly.

In the age of alphas, betas and early access, proper game demos have become as rare as your average Exotic item in Destiny 2. Thankfully, that won’t be the case with EA’s proposed Destiny killer, Anthem, which will be getting a proper demo in February next year. Announced at a PAX West pre-panel press briefing by developer BioWare’s Mark Darrah and Mike Gamble, Anthem’s VIP demo will be arriving simultaneously on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on February 1, 2019.

Over the weekend, Microsoft took to the stage at IFA 2018 in Berlin to announce the name of the next major update to Windows 10 . What was earlier codenamed Redstone 5 is now officially the Windows 10 October 2018 Update and will arrive some time in – you guessed it – October. This will technically be Windows 10 version 1809, with the more friendly ‘October 2018 Update’ nomenclature keeping to Microsoft’s usual naming convention – the previous refresh was called the Windows 10 April 2018 Update

Twitter is testing out a couple of new features that may or may not make their way out to everyone on the social network: online status indicators, so you can see who’s online, and threaded replies to tweets, to make them easier to read on screen. According to Haider, the online status indicators are a way “to signal specifically that you’re online and looking for conversation” as opposed to, say, being in a meeting or asleep. Testing, testing, 1-2-3Twitter is of course testing new features all

Panasonic has now made more Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera models that we can count, but the one that started it all of was the Lumix DMC-G1 back in 2008. The Lumix G1 was the very first modern-day mirrorless camera. But with the hindsight of history we can see that the Panasonic Lumix G1 was a breakthrough. Here was a mirrorless camera that did what a DSLR did and more, thanks to that articulating rear screen and permanent live view. It was small, light, precise and rather well put togethe

Apple is expected to announce at least two new iPhone models next week that might be called the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Plus. But there are a few features currently missing from the iPhone that are already present on competing handsets and ones that could technically be easily implemented on an iPhone. Apple could possibly restrict this to the larger iPhone XS Plus to differentiate between the two models and maybe even include support for Apple Pencil. An always-on display is becoming increa

With a VPN, you’re literally able to browse the web from anywhere in the world. When you use a VPN, you’re essentially shedding your old IP address while assuming a new one. If your new IP matches your VPN connection, you know you’re browsing on a VPN server. This typically occurs when a user’s network is being throttled by their ISP. Second, Make sure the VPN you’re using doesn’t keep logs.

It seems we should be bracing ourselves for some new GoPro cameras, after images of an in-store display showcasing the GoPro Hero7 found their way onto the web. There’s nothing official from GoPro itself yet, but these pictures look authentic enough. Originally posted to Reddit , the images suggest we’ve got three cameras to look forward to: the Hero7 White, Hero7 Silver, and Hero7 Black.

8K TVs, uber-powerful smartphones and a handful of headphones might be dominating the headlines at IFA 2018, but there’s more to the show than classic consumer tech. Filmmakers James Barber and Hollie Hayton have been exploring some of the lesser worn parts of the Messe Berlin, where instant cameras and household robots sit alongside RGB peripherals and definitely-not-going-to-catch-fire “hover” shoes. Check out what James and Hollie found on their travels in the video above. The resulting 90-se
