Fujifilm has announced the XF10, the company’s new pocket-sized premium compact camera, which replaces the X70. The Fujifilm XF10 features a 24.2MP APS-C sensor (with the more standard bayer array, as opposed to the X-Trans design featured in higher-end X Series cameras like the X100F). This sees the XF10 support an expanded ISO range from 100-51,200, while 4K video capture is at a pretty modest 15p. Like the X70, the XF10 features a fixed 18.5mm f/2.8 Fujinon wide-angle lens that’s equivalent t

Despite Facebook’s often-stated intention of being a neutral and open platform, the social media giant has announced that it will begin removing any posts that contain misinformation with the motive of inciting violence.

The impending decision from the EU watchdog has come to pass: Google has been fined a record €4.3 billion ($5.1 billion) for abusing the Android operating system’s dominance in the smartphone market, the largest fine imposed on a company in EU history. Google was previously penalized by the European Commission just last year, when the search giant was slapped with a $2.7 billion fine for lowering the ranking of competitor shopping comparison tools to promote its own.

Next year, Samsung hopes you’ll spend thousands of dollars on its new, cutting-edge foldable phone. Samsung’s Galaxy X smartphone, codenamed “Winner”, is a fully bendable and foldable device that, when flat, will be the size of a small tablet, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Apple HomeKit smart home ecosystem can incorporate a wide selection of smart devices, from light switches to outlets, climate control to smart speakers.

If you turn on Netflix tonight and you notice that the interface looks like Google Play Movies & TV, don’t worry, you aren’t in an episode of Black Mirror or, worse, mistakenly entered the world of the Upside Down – Netflix has gotten a face lift.

Xbox is headed to Cologne, Germany for next month’s Gamescom gathering, and it will reveal all-new bundles and accessories at the show, according to a blog post by Microsoft’s Major Nelson. An earlier version of the blog post noted there would be “all-new Xbox hardware” shown during a special episode of Inside Xbox, however the blog has since been edited to read “new Xbox One bundles and accessories,” with no mention of new hardware. So, now we know for sure that it’s unlikely the Xbox Two will

The next wave of mobile-grade, fanless processors from Intel, ‘Amber Lake,’ just had what’s likely its entire lineup leaked through both Romanian technology news website NextLab 501 and a Dell product listing in Chile . However, don’t assume this chip is cheap, as it’s a marked improvement upon the previous generation in clock speed. In fact, all three of the supposed new Y series Intel processors are improvements upon their predecessors, as they should be. All three processors are reportedly du

The B450 series, the next lineup of mid-range motherboards from AMD, have been announced with vendors like ASRock, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI already with products to show. These motherboards all come in at or below $200 (about £150, AU$270), and as such are missing a few of the features enthusiasts enjoy from AMD’s X470 series and onward. For starters, these new boards do not support AMD’s CrossFire or Nvidia’s SLI technology for daisy chaining graphics cards. Beyond that, the boards support up to

[Some facial recognition systems] are able to take that image and construct a high-resolution face.”It sounds like something straight out of a police procedural, but thanks to improvements in facial recognition tech, real law enforcement officers have begun experimenting with it. And why, if it’s so advanced, would the number of false positives be so high?

We might see the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 as soon as August and at this point we have a very good idea of what to expect, as a more or less complete specs list has just leaked.

Those specs are in line with what we’ve heard before, though this is the most complete listing yet. Tra

Nikon’s range of action and 360-degree cameras have been listed as discontinued on multiple official Nikon websites.

Apple’s top-of-the-range 15-inch MacBook Pro 2018 comes with a powerful 6-core Intel Core i9 processor, but a YouTube reviewer has suggested that the device excessively throttles the CPU’s performance when it gets too hot. Thermal throttling is a rather common practice – it limits the performance of components when they get too hot, protecting the device from damage. Lee also runs the i9 MacBook Pro in a freezer, and in the colder climate the notebook performs faster, with the time it takes to r

It looks like Apple might finally start sticking a fast charger in the box with its iPhones, which might sound logical, yet while the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus all support fast charging, you have to buy said charger separately. But for the iPhone XI, iPhone XI Plus and iPhone 9 (or whatever they launch as) that might change. This isn’t the first we’ve heard of a fast charger coming in the box, but Macotakara – which has a solid track record with Apple leaks – has reiterated the claim,
