At an event in San Francisco, HTC announced that its standalone virtual reality (VR) headset, the Vive Focus, will be coming to 37 new territories, including the US and Europe.

PerformanceThe Optoma UHD51A hits its 4K target using pixel shifting, delivering 8.3 million pixels from its DLP system. VerdictThe Alexa features may be fun but a little perfunctory, but everyt

We attended the League of Legends finals in South Korea, an event watched by over 60 million people last year alone. And much of that success has been driven by League of Legends. For those unfamiliar with the game, League of Legends is a MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) developed by Riot Games. Despite only releasing in 2009, the title has spawned one of the biggest professional esports tournaments in the world: the League of Legends World Championships. The day before the main event we a

You know what you’re going to get when you jump into a Just Cause game: destruction, stunts and utter chaos. The journey takes him to Solís, a country that’s fallen victim to the Black Hand mercenary faction led by the ruthless Gabriela. Rico’s grappling hook is now fully customizable, allowing for over four million combinations and often hilarious results. On top of that, you can also manage factors such as whether the grappling hook deploys automatically, and how long it takes. Apparently, a l

Fossil has announced a plethora of new smartwatches in the second half of 2018, but the latest one is set to be the first from the brand to sport the most recently announced Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 chipset. The Fossil Sport comes in a variety of bold colors as well as featuring a light yet premium look body. The watch comes in two sizes; 41mm or 43mm, depending on how large you want the watch to be on your wrist. It comes running the latest version of Wear OS software and it sports the top

Following the entry of Canon and Nikon into the full-frame mirrorless camera market with the EOS R, Z6 and Z7, it’s no surprise to see Sony’s near 100% market share of the mirrorless sector take a bit of a hit. Japanese analyst BCN has released its latest rankings for the full-frame mirrorless camera market in Japan, and the numbers make for some interesting reading. As expected, Sony’s market share has dropped, from 99.7% to 67%, with the big winner being Canon, which has taken a 22.1% market s

Making a folding phone involves overcoming many hardware problems, but it’s also a challenge for software, as apps and interfaces designed for a screen that maintains a consistent size won’t be optimized for folding phones. But Google is already addressing that, as it has confirmed that it is optimizing Android for the new form factor. In the Android Developers Blog, it explains that there are broadly two variants of the folding phone concept: two-screen devices and one-screen devices. An exampl

The Free Music Archive (FMA), one of the biggest sources of freely downloadable, high quality music, is shutting down this month due to lack of funding. The FMA launched in 2009 as a platform for artists to share their work with no subscription fees. All tracks are available to download free of charge under Creative Commons licenses, which allow others to use them in their own projects. Musicians can also use the site to network with listeners, and fans can donate ‘tips’ to support their favorit

Facebook has announced that it has started shipping its flagship smart displays, the Portal and the larger Portal+ to customers in the US. It still hasn’t announced when the video-calling devices will be rolled out to other territories, including the UK and Australia. Facebook has since promised that it will treat all Portal calls in the same way it treats Messenger conversations – so while it won’t view the calls, it will collect data usage, which could in turn be used to generate cross-party a

Square Enix has announced that three of the four planned DLCs for Final Fantasy XV have been cancelled. The announcement was made during a Final Fantasy XV Special Program livestream, with Square Enix revealing the Aranea, Noctis and Lunafreye DLC have been cancelled. Only hours prior to the announcement Square Enix Holdings reported an “extraordinary loss” in finances through Luminous Productions – amounting to 3,733 million yen. “In regards to my next endeavours and near future, I have a proje

Saddle up for Red Dead Redemption 2 with one of Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro console bundles and you’re in for a surprise treat – you’ll also be picking up an all-new revision of the PS4 Pro hardware. That’s the finding of Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry test labs, which noted there is a number of new improvements included with the CUH-7200 console that accompanies the new Red Dead 2 sets.

The MacBook Air (2018) has not been in the hands of the public for long – it went on sale November 7 – but Apple has already seen fit to release a supplemental update for its macOS 10.14.1 operating system specifically for the new laptop. The update is called “macOS Mojave 10.14.1 Supplemental Update for MacBook Air (2018)” and can be downloaded right now. This shouldn’t be confused with the macOS Mojave 10.14.1 update, which Apple released at the end of October, and is already installed on the

Samsung may have focused on the reveal of its foldable phone at the Samsung Developer Conference this year, but the company also confirmed it’s planning to include notches on future handsets. Samsung has yet to include a notch on any smartphone, while most of its competition have experimented with the idea. This design begs the question of how third-party app developers would support such a different notch design. The New Infinity option doesn’t include a notch at all, and that may be what we’ve

There’s plenty more going on in Samsung’s Mobile Quality Test Lab, where phones are subjected to every test you can think of – from talking dummies which test call quality through to chambers that simulate extreme weather conditions. During these intense gameplay sessions, the heat levels of those test phones and tablets are studied closely using advanced thermal cameras, with the images taken shown in a Predator-style heat vision on nearby monitors. According to Samsung, roughly 50-100 photos a

After the overwhelmingly negative response from Blizzard’s fan base about the announcement of the company’s Diablo Immortal mobile game, CEO Allen Adham has confirmed that there are more mobile titles in the works.

Despite Blizzard having already hinted quite heavily that Diablo 4 wouldn’t be shown at this year’s confere
