Horizon Forbidden West, one of the most anticipated PlayStation games of the year, has already convinced critics four days before its official release. While the game shines on PlayStation 5, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro hold their own at 1080p and 30 FPS.

Cameras are undoubtedly the major selling points of Samsungs new Galaxy S22 lineup, and the phones look to be making good on that promise. The trio debut with a mix of new and familiar camera hardware, which have now been detailed entirely.

The prices for the upcoming Realme 9 smartphone range have purportedly leaked for the UK, Italy, Europe, and Russia. The Realme 9i has already appeared in markets such as India, and it will be joined by the Realme 9 Pro and Realme 9 Pro+. Realme appears to be taking a calculated risk, with the Europe price for the top-end Realme 9 Pro+ standing at €439 (US$496).

Samsung has already changed its specification sheets for the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+, two of its latest flagship smartphones. Unfortunately, the pair do not support a 10-120 Hz variable refresh rate as Samsung advertises.

The freshly-launched Galaxy Tab S8 series has proven so popular that two-thirds of its variants have "sold out" on Samsung.com in the US.

By most indications, the Exynos 2200 isnt a big upgrade on the Exynos 2100 in peak performance terms. It appears that Samsung has managed to make its new flagship chipset rather stable, though—even more so than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it appears.

Apples AirTags have become embroiled in a scandal that highlights their potential to facilitate crimes such as stalking, theft and general unsolicited e-tracking.

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S22 line of flagship smartphones with claims of more "eco-consciousness" than ever before in their construction and packaging. However, a new LifeProof case for the same devices might be able to outdo them in this regard. They come in 3 types, each of which is rated for a quotient of at least 50% of recycled or reclaimed materials.

The Galaxy S22 series already appears to offer excellent value for money relative to other premium phones and Samsung will be hoping to spice up sales with an attractive trade-in program that allows Galaxy Note 20 Ultra owners to upgrade to the Galaxy S22 Ultra with just US$499.
