CD Projekt Red has unveiled native versions of Cyberpunk 2077 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X consoles. Available as a free download to owners of the game and at half price for the next few weeks, Cyberpunk 2077 has effectively received something of a soft re-launch.

With two reviewers reporting that they barely got five hours of active use out of their new Galaxy S22, Samsungs decision to shrink the battery capacity of its smallest flagship smartphone to 3,700 mAh is called into question.

Samsung is no stranger to broken promises, half truths, and retracted statements. Just ask foldable fans who wanted eSIM or Galaxy Buds Plus users who were looking forward to Multichannel Audio. The list could go on. Let’s take a look at where Samsung went wrong with its latest flagships.

Reportedly, Google has scheduled the release of its first foldable smartphone, codenamed Pipit. Expected to be called the Pixel Fold, the foldable is tipped to launch with a more compact design than the Galaxy Z Fold3, possibly like the Oppo Find N. The Pixel Fold may arrive with the Pixel 7 series and Android 13.

XDA Senior Member Danny Lin (@kdrag0n) has managed to get entire virtual machines running on the Google Pixel 6 with relative ease. This was possible due to the new KVM feature that is being introduced with Android 13. The developer could even run Windows 11 on ARM and even play the classic Doom game on the Pixel 6 with decent performance.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has performed with merit in a battery life comparison test, but it could not keep up with the predecessor S21 Ultra or the rival Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max. Other flagship smartphones included in the Galaxy S22 Ultra battery life comparison were the Google Pixel 6 Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro.

OPPO has now announced its new, OnePlus-esque strategic cooperation with Hasselblad. The resulting smartphone camera modules might arrive enhanced with one of the OEMs latest and potentially ground-breaking specs, as the tech behind it is now reportedly ready for mass production. It is touted as the new top end of hardware-based stabilization available to mobile devices.

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S22 series with claims of enhanced robustness thanks to their updated premium design. Now, a YouTuber has tested these claims out on its flagship, the S22 Ultra. Can the new phablets new Gorilla Glass Victus+ and upgraded frame stand up to challenges that culminate in a vehicular onslaught?

The Galaxy A23 will be the third-cheapest device in Samsungs bread-and-butter Galaxy A series this year. The budget phone has now been showcased in a leak, revealing its expected specs and a modern design in line with Samsungs current devices.

The Xiaomi Watch S1 has leaked on Amazon Germany before its European release. Surprisingly, the leather model could arrive for less than €200, contrary to previous rumours. The Watch S1 will be available with a sportier look, too.
