We’re still not exactly sure when the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is going to appear, but it shouldn’t be long now. The latest leak to hit the web details the top-end spec for the device currently under consideration at Samsung – and it’s quite something. That would be a new high watermark in terms of specs for the series – the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus tops out at 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. We’re expecting the Galaxy Note 9 to appear with the same chip as the Galaxy S9 phones – namely the Snapdrag

As Apple-centric sites including AppleInsider and The Mac Observer have noted, some MacBook and MacBook Pro models are now displaying delivery dates after WWDC 2018 starts – suggesting Apple is about to refresh at least some of the models, and doesn’t want to deliver hardware that’ll soon be out of date. While WWDC is traditional focused on software and intended for app makers, Apple has been known to unveil new devices in the past. It’s almost exactly 12 months since the MacBook got its last re

It’s not often my job as a technology journalist requires me to wade out into a river in the British countryside. That’s because this is no ordinary drone, it’s an underwater drone called Biki by Robosea. Work my little friend, workWe get to the river and the moment of truth arrives…and Biki has forgotten my phone exists, again. (I’ve since come to realise this means that you have to put both the remote and Biki underwater and then they communicate acoustically. I do think his top swim speed i

That’s anyone’s guessIt’d be kind of hard to determine a release date for Bloodborne 2 given we don’t even know if it’s happening yet. What we want to see from Bloodborne 2Aside from the obvious fact that what we want to see most out of Bloodborne 2 is, well, Bloodborne 2, we do have some other wishes. A different look in a new settingHere’s the thing about Bloodborne 2 – we don’t just want to play the original Bloodborne all over again. The original Bloodborne has combat that is fast and bold a

That’s just one of the potential uses of the technology, which is being opened up to developers in iOS 12, according to The Information. Like, for example, tapping on your hotel room door lock to get inside (something you can already do with an Apple Watch). The NFC chip is currently used for Apple Pay, and it could also be used to let you into your car or to pay for your ride on public transit. The Information says Apple employees have already been using the new unlock capabilities at the compa

All we have to go off so far is the hashtag #chargedup and a promise from Juho Sarvikas, one of the execs at Nokia parent company HMD Global, that “some new stuff” is on the way. A portable charging pack to juice up your Nokia phone on the go? The company only just brought out the Nokia 8 Sirocco so it seems a bit early to be expecting another top-end handset. What we do know is that HMD Global has raised another $100 million in its efforts to make Nokia a major force in the smartphone world aga

With the launch of Xbox One X, Microsoft went pretty big for E3 2017. And that puts the pressure on for E3 2018 because now we’re hoping this Xbox showcase will be just as big as the last. The Halo games do, after all, tend to follow a three year development cycle and Halo 5 was released in 2015. PSA: Fireteam Raven has zero impact on the 343 development team which has already been working on the next console game. But if Microsoft is going to tag the Xbox One X to come into the VR ring, we reck

As it continues to investigate the VPNFilter malware that’s gripped hundreds of thousands of routers worldwide, the FBI has advised consumers and office managers in the US to reset their network boxes to try and flush out at least part of the malicious code. “The FBI recommends any owner of small office and home office routers power cycle (reboot) the devices,” the Bureau said in a statement. “VPNFilter is able to render small office and home office routers inoperable. In other words, the malwar

Samsung Galaxy Watch was trademarked earlier in the month (plus we’ve heard leaks from Ice Universe that have also backed it up) and suggested the company will undergo big changes on its next watch. Samsung hasn’t used the name Galaxy in its wearables since the original Samsung Galaxy Gear in 2013, which ran on Android Wear software. In the intervening years Tizen has grown more feature-filled so both the Gear S3 and Gear Sport have been far more usable. I have faith that it’s the latter and whi

It’s surprising because the OnePlus 6 has a glass back, a switch from the aluminum shell on the OnePlus 5T and all OnePlus phones before it (except the old OnePlus X). Reason 1: OnePlus 6 Dash Charge is far superiorWhy is there no wireless charging? Wireless charging on other devices has taken twice as long in our tests. And that was using Samsung’s Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand. Wireless charging in 2018 is merely a nice convenience, with potential not fully realized.

The Dota 2 battle arena is coming to the UK this weekend – to the real-world arena of ESL Birmingham, to be exact. And the whole event will be aired on BBC Three . The prize money for this Dota 2 event is a whopping $1,000,000 in the money pool and this event is all part of getting Pro Dota Circuit Points to get at that cash.

To most of us, Microsoft Teams might just seem like another Slack competitor vying for office messaging market share, but in schools it’s proving its to be a revolutionary and transformative tool for classrooms. Those aren’t the words of Microsoft or some Teams spokesperson, but James Yanuzzelli, a social studies teacher hailing from Old Bridge, New Jersey, who is very much on the ground with today’s students. “I started a pilot program this year with Microsoft Teams and getting more open educat

Turns out, JVC Kenwood isn’t the only one that can do wireless Android Auto. And, in fact, Pioneer Electronics is doing it one better by adding wireless Apple CarPlay support to its latest in-car units, too. Moving down the line, the W6400NEX houses a 6.2-inch clear resistive display, and the W4400NEX, though its display stretches to seven inches, is also a resistive touch screen. At the moment, Android Auto Wireless is only supported on the Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Nexus 5X

Well, it’s allegedly the case that those countermeasures won’t defend these chips against a new freshly-discovered Spectre flaw. And, according to sources who spoke to Threatpost, the aforementioned safeguards which Intel is implementing may protect against Spectre Variants 2 and 3, but not this fourth incarnation. How to protect against Spectre and Meltdown Check out our comprehensive guide on how to protect yourself from Spectre and Meltdown. Intel estimates that to be a slowdown of around 2%

Yesterday (May 24), we reported that a new Windows 10 preview wouldn’t emerge this week due to some major issues. And all your top websites are now listed in the Jump List, which is on the Windows taskbar (or Start Menu). With this new build, Scan mode is now able to support the selection of content in Edge, Word, Outlook, Mail and more. In this new build, that MBB USB NetAdapter driver has been made the default driver. So it wasn’t a roll-back bug blocking us from flighting yesterday – it was a

It’s offering a $50 (£54) credit to anyone who paid full price for a battery replacement between January 1, 2017 and December 28, 2017 on an iPhone 6 or later. Of course, the replacement had to have been done at the Apple Store or an authorized retailer. The credit is based on the fact that Apple dropped the price of battery replacements when ‘batterygate’ become a news scandal. In the US, for example, the battery replacement price went from $80 to $30. It’s not a refund, like some people would
