Blizzard said it took much deliberation over exactly where to pitch WoW Classic, and chose this point because it “represents the most complete version of the classic experience”. So the idea is to present players with a vanilla version of World of Warcraft pre-Burning Crusade content-wise, but also bring it fully up to date with the important bells and whistles of the modern game, such as the firm’s anti-cheating countermeasures. What Blizzard is doing, essentially, is taking the codebase of the

That’s not a good look, but it’s one that Motorola might have come up with a solution for. In a patent spotted by LetsGoDigital, Motorola details a ‘method to recover permanent set in a foldable display’, with its solution taking the form of a thermal element and sensors built into the foldable part of the device. Targeted heat could defeat creases in folding phones. Credit: LetsGoDigitalPatents aren’t productsOf course, as ever with a patent this might not ever be used in a product, but it show

Leica has announced a new travel zoom compact camera, the C-Lux. We say new, but it’s actually a re-badged Panasonic Lumix ZS200 (known as the Lumix TZ200 / TZ220 outside the US). Perhaps the most noticeable difference between the C-Lux and the ZS200 is the leatherette finish on the exterior of the C-Lux, where the ZS200 has a less grippy smooth metal finish. As you’d expect for a Leica compact, there’s a range of premium cases, pouches and straps. Whereas in the past you’ve have paid a consider

Just last week we were being wowed by the 91.24% screen-to-body ratio of the Vivo Nex – not to mention its pop-up camera and in-display fingerprint scanner – but it’s about to become old news. That’s because Oppo has been teasing its new flagship smartphone, due to launch tomorrow, with a 93.8% screen-to-body ratio. The Oppo Find X has been outed on Chinese micro-blogging website Weibo, with a picture of the phone showing just how much space the screen takes up on the front of the device. Whethe

Brochures in Korea confirmed there will be both 64GB and 256GB versions of the phone, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, but it shows a 512GB version as well. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of a 512GB Galaxy Note 9 – an industry insider speaking to Android Headlines said something similar last month – so this adds further evidence to that claim. The bad news is that most of the world won’t be able to buy the 512GB version of the Galaxy Note 9. Previous Samsung Galaxy Note devices have f

Rumors regarding Samsung’s plans to bring a foldable smartphone to market have circulated relentlessly over the last few years, and thanks to some leaked images that have just surfaced on Twitter (and then posted on SlashLeaks), we now have an idea of what that dual screen concept might’ve looked like. The keen-eyed among you might also notice the old Play Store icon featured on the phone’s display. In theory, the tech behind this wouldn’t be too hard to achieve, so we have to assume that Samsun

The best Father’s Day Gifts may be difficult to buy at the last minute, but you don’t have to go to today’s celebration empty handed.

It has a keyboard ranked in our list of best gaming keyboards . It’s Rival 600 and Sensei 310 rank first and second, respectively, in our list of best gaming mice . And, it’s Arctis Pro and Arctis Pro Wireless each hold a spot in our picks for best gaming headsets . What we saw looked nothing like a mouse, but that experiment eventually led to the best mouse we’ve ever used. After seeing all the feedback, and maybe having a few drinks, the SteelSeries team can continue working to tackle those fo

Apparently Apple is now ordering a lot more LCD screens than previously predicted. What’s certain is that OLED panels are more expensive to produce – hence the hefty iPhone X price tag. The 5.8-inch OLED iPhone will directly replace the iPhone X, according to reports. Apple may well keep last year’s iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus phones on sale as well, which might partially explain the ramp up in demand for LCD screens. However, it does seem that Apple isn’t expecting its top-end 2018 iPhone to shi

For Marantz brand ambassador Ken Ishiwata, it’s been a quest that’s stretched almost 40 years. The world-famous audio specialist worked on Marantz’s first ever CD player in 1982, the CD-63, and to mark his 40th anniversary with the company Ishiwata has been working on something very special indeed – the KI Ruby set, consisting of a Super Audio CD player with DAC (the SA-KI Ruby) and an integrated amplifier (the PM-KI Ruby). You can easily imagine that music will never die, so in that sense, the

Tesla says it’s investigating, calling the event “an extraordinarily unusual occurrence” in a statement. @Tesla This is what happened to my husband and his car today. Most recently the firm’s self-driving Autopilot technology has been put in the spotlight again, after a car under Autopilot control crashed into a stationary police car – and another Autopilot update is planned soon. Innovating isn’t easy, especially in the motor industry, and unfortunately for Tesla boss Elon Musk it tends to come

While most VPN providers offer apps which are dead easy to use – all you have to do is download the software and follow the simple installation process – we’re going to focus solely on how to set up a dedicated VPN connection manually through Microsoft’s own built-in VPN client. How to set up a VPN in Windows 10Note that Microsoft’s built-in VPN client doesn’t actually mean the OS comes with its own VPN. From there, click on Network & Internet, navigate to the VPN icon, and click Add a VPN conne

During this year’s PC Gaming Week , we had the chance to hop over to the US office of one of the companies behind some of our favorite PC gaming accessories: SteelSeries. While there, we caught a few SteelSeries workers relaxing, having some lunch, and watching the big Super Smash Bros. We were unfortunately unable to shoot any photos back there, because we might have caught a glimpse of some of SteelSeries’ upcoming products. The space is also loaded with displays of SteelSeries current Arctis

The platform isn’t completely new, but with the deadline looming, users are being encouraged to get set up with Rebble before June 30 – even Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky has endorsed the new setup. Parts of Rebble will be free to use, with premium services like Weather and Dictation keeping the operation running. “Our present focus is on replacing key pieces of the Pebble ecosystem: the app store, firmware, and mobile apps,” explains the Rebble FAQ page.

But to ensure that your conversations stay private, you really need to get one of the secure mobile messaging apps on offer out there. Here are the best Android apps with this feature. Those caveats aside, Telegram impresses in most areas, with features like chat backups and disappearing messages (messages with expiry times attached). You can load up group chats, make video calls and more, and in use it’s just as responsive and intuitive as the other messaging apps out there. Just be sure to ena

If the America’s Cup is the Formula One of sailing, then the Volvo Ocean Race must be the sport’s equivalent of the marathon. In total, sailors will spend as many as 118 days sailing, up to 21 days at a time. Whereas the America’s Cup is as much about boat design as it is about sailing, all seven teams in the Volvo Ocean race use the same vessel – The Volvo Ocean 65 – using the same equipment. Great focus has been placed on presenting each sailor’s data to them in an intuitive way so they take a
