At the Microsoft 2019 event in NYC, the company unveiled its next generation of Surface devices coming in 2019 and 2020, including the dual-screen Surface Neo tablet. But they had one more surprise: the Microsoft Surface Duo, a smaller device that seems to be for all intents and purposes a new Microsoft foldable phone. This means the Surface Duo will support every single app in the Android ecosystem. But Microsoft was a little more coy about what operating system the Surface Duo will actually us

A lot of its new devices were leaked before the official reveal, and as expected, Microsoft launched a whole suite of Microsoft Surface devices, spearheaded by the Surface Laptop 3 and Surface Pro 7.

While there’s not a ton of information floating around about them, a new source claims that the Google Pixel Buds 2 are likely to be announced at this month’s Made by Google event, if not sooner. That source recently spoke to 9to5Google , and says Google will soon introduce second-generation wireless earbuds, although they didn’t mention the Google event by name. Will the Pixel Buds 2 be wireless or true wireless? The big question about Google’s next pair of earbuds is whether they’ll be simply

I understand that Microsoft has its Surface Studio lineup on a two-year upgrade cycle, and it will probably release the Surface Studio 3 in 2020, along with the Surface Duo (that I desperately want). But, the Surface Studio 2 was out of date as soon as it hit store shelves, so the people deserve one with up-to-date silicon. For as much as Microsoft likes to talk about “empowering creatives”, the Surface Studio 2 is simply too far behind the curve. The Surface Studio needs desktop-class hardware.

The PS5 will be codenamed ‘Prospero’ and feature a built-in camera for focus on next-generation streaming, according to a new report by Gizmodo. This information comes via an anonymous tipster who claims to be working on a next-generation title for both the PS5 and Xbox Project Scarlett, according to the report. Apparently the source sent the site real-life design illustrations of a pre-production PS5 in June, before the illustrations were found, leaked, circulated and ultimately rendered in Aug

AMD has given a boost to Radeon RX Vega 56 and 64 graphics cards, as well as the meaty Radeon VII, with the release of its latest graphics driver which brings Radeon Image Sharpening support to these GPUs. Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition version 19.9.3 delivers image sharpening to these graphics cards – and the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition – when running games which use DirectX 12 or Vulkan. Image sharpening was introduced to the RX 5700 GPUs back in July, and more recently it was brought

It’s true that video games based on movies rarely work out well. Despite the many terrible tie-ins we’ve witnessed through the years, there are some past movies which we believe could have made great games, if done correctly. So its attraction as an open world PC game is obvious, but yet has never been exploited. District 9One of our favorite sci-fi movies, District 9 is another futuristic property which positively begged to be turned into a PC game. If you’re not convinced by Inception, then fu

Swiss researchers have developed a wearable, sensor-packed second skin that could let VR users ‘touch’ objects in virtual worlds. Virtual reality has come on in leaps and bounds over the years, but tactile sensations have been notably by either their absence or their crudity. A series of soft sensors and actuators have been designed to create a realistic sense of touch, something which is helped by constantly measuring skin deformation with strain sensors. This is ideal for wearable applications

The Google Pixel 4 has been extensively leaked by this point and the rumors aren’t slowing down, as we’ve now seen a high-quality render showing the likely design from both front and back. The render shows a full bezel above the screen, a smaller but still very noticeable bezel below the display and curved corners, all of which we’ve seen before. The design of the back meanwhile has already been revealed by Google itself, but this provides another look, showing off the square camera block and sm

When the OnePlus 7T launched in India on September 26, we expected the OnePlus 7T Pro to be mentioned too, but that turned out not to be the case, so we never got to see the expected successor to the OnePlus 7 Pro. The latest OnePlus Pro smartphoneThe latest OnePlus Pro smartphone When is it out? Probably more than $669 / £649 (roughly AU$1,000)While the OnePlus 7T was launched in India on September 26, no worldwide release date was announced: that could be because it’ll come out alongside the O

Sony has slashed the prices of its PlayStation Now streaming service for games, bringing down the cost to match its Xbox Games Pass rival. What’s most notable about this, though, isn’t just the saving, but how it drags down the price to match Microsoft’s competing Xbox Games Pass service – currently $9.99 / £7.99 a month. PS Now is primarily a streaming service for games, though some games can be played offline to stop you being at the mercy of your internet connection. Xbox Games Pass allows yo

If you were to take these requirements’ word for it, you’d believe that a $40,000 PC is necessary to play all the best PC games maxed out at 4K. However, the component that gets the most overblown hype in these system requirements is system memory, or RAM. Well, luckily, we have some hardware lying around that we can see whether you truly need to cram a bunch of new RAM into your gaming PC.

Speaking to GameSpot, Newman said that “our allies can do a lot of pretty exciting new stuff where they can get stealth kills independently”. “They have their own pretty nuanced melee system where they can interact with enemies in melee and also help you out and rescue as they did in the first game. They’re a little bit more flexible and nuanced this time around,” he explained. And I think it’s great that players can now count on that and make those kinds of plans interacting with your allies. ”

The global VPN market is red hot; weeks after after Cloudflare and Mozilla unveiled their privacy solutions, ExpressVPN has scored a major win thanks to a partnership with computing giant HP. Its VPN service will be bundled with HP’s new Flagship, the Spectre x360 13 with buyers being able to use the VPN – which tops our best VPN list – for 30-days before opting for a full subscription. Instead, it is a deep product integration that took many months of work for teams from HP and ExpressVPN to co

It’s no secret that Intel has been playing catch-up with AMD over the last few months as Team Red pulled ahead with Ryzen 3rd Generation – Team Blue has itself admitted this. But, some leaked benchmarks of Intel’s next high-end desktop (HEDT) platform suggest it will fall behind AMD’s mainstream platform. In these results, the Intel Core i9-10920X scores a multi-core result of 44,046, compared to the 44,160 scored by the Ryzen 9 3900X in our review. If this leaked benchmark reflects reality, it

In an unusual software update cadence, iOS 13.1.2 is now available with more bug fixes for the fresh mobile operating system – which applies to both iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 . This might feel a bit like deja vu since iOS 13.1.1 was only released to the public a few days ago on Friday. What’s interesting is the frequency at which these updates are coming to the general public to fix Apple’s iOS software. Among the iOS 13.1.2 release notes, bug fixes for iCloud, Bluetooth, HomePod, and the display are

It looks like we know about one more important Google Pixel 4 feature ahead of the October 15 launch date, and it’s a concept that was previewed for Android 10 in May. The Live Caption feature is similar to another tool Google has introduced: Live Transcribe. Though Google announced the Live Caption feature back at Google IO 2019 in May, the feature hasn’t shown up in the live build of Android 10. With the APK installed, Live Caption was able to provide text captions for sources from YouTube and

Nintendo’s Switch Lite may have only been released less than a fortnight ago, but it appears the company is already prepping an updated model, according to new FCC filing spotted by Digital Trends. The new filing sports the identification number BKEHDH002 (the original Switch Lite’s ID number was BKEHDH001), suggesting a minor update rather than a drastic redesign. The company’s filing for an updated model comes just days after the new handheld was added to a class-action lawsuit, following repo

If you’re thinking of taking the plunge with AMD for your new processor or graphics card, perhaps with the swiftly incoming Black Friday in mind as a good time to make a move, then some new promo deals are giving away top-class games for free. If you buy an AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation processor or an AMD Radeon graphics card, you’ll be able to claim some free games, including Borderlands 3 and The Outer Worlds. And, if you buy both an AMD Ryzen processor and a Radeon GPU, you’ll be able to get thre
