Previous speculation has pointed to Nvidia being set to launch its next-gen graphics cards later this month, but a new rumor is claiming that this won’t happen – and indeed we may not see a hard launch (i.e. This comes from Tom’s Hardware, which cites ‘multiple independent sources’ in the industry saying that the successor to Nvidia’s current Pascal-based GeForce cards won’t get a full reveal at Nvidia’s Graphics Technology Conference (GTC) as previously rumored, or indeed GDC (the Game Develope

Alongside the standard Huawei P20 and Huawei P20 Pro, we’re expecting to see the Huawei P20 Lite at the company’s March 27 event, and while it’s sure to be the least powerful of the three, the latest leak suggests it will still have fairly decent specs. It also says there’s a 16MP front-facing camera, 64GB of storage, a 3,000mAh battery and that the phone runs Android Oreo, which would make for a solid assortment of specs. There’s even a price of €369 (around $450, £330, AU$580) listed. This is

Back in January, we reported that image-focussed social media platform Instagram could be looking to expand its repertoire with the addition of video and voice calling, and the discovery of suggestive new files within the latest Instagram and Instagram Direct Android apps suggests the features could be coming very soon. Hints of video and voice functionality come from a variety of image files in the Application Package (APK), which have titles such as “call.png”, “video_call.png”, and “action_ca

The flurry of Microsoft Surface Phone patent images just will not stop, with the latest showing off a particularly fascinating functionality: a full-size touchscreen keyboard via a new ‘determinative hinge.’Picked up by notable Microsoft leaker WalkingCat, these patent shots depict the same purported Surface Phone we’ve seen before being used as such a device, but with one new wrinkle. This is the first time we’ve seen Microsoft’s new ‘determinative hinge,’ and it could be the key to the would-b

The Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 2 XL aren’t the most fragile phones around, thanks to their partially metal backs and IP67 protection. But like most flagship phones, they don’t come cheap: starting at $649 (£629, AU$1,079) for the smaller Pixel 2 and $849 (£799, AU$1,399) out-of-pocket for the Pixel 2 XL. Due to this case’s ultra-skinny profile, it’s not a case that you want to put through much turmoil. Check out this case right here: (Pixel 2) (Pixel 2 XL)Image 1 of 4 See the cases’s two la

Not too long ago, Intel had released its Kaby Lake Refresh (henceforth Kaby Lake R ), or 8th-generation processors for laptops and tablets. One is housing an Intel Core i7 Kaby Lake (last year’s 7th-generation) processor, and another a Core i7 Kaby Lake R (this year’s 8th-generation). So, how much better is Kaby Lake R? Unsurprisingly, 8th-generation Intel Core, or Kaby Lake R, is better than the previous generation Intel Core processors by just about every measure. On that front, the 8th-genera

Microsoft has pushed out a firmware update for the Surface Laptop, and if you’ve been having any issues with the notebook’s battery, this could potentially be a fix.

Surface Laptop owners should get the update pushed to them automatically via Windows Update. You can check for updates by clicking on the Start button, then

Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most fun things to do with a voice assistant is control elements of your house. Whether that’s turning your Philips Hue lights red, or controlling your Fire TV with Alexa. If you could just point at your lights and they’d turn off, or gesture to your TV for the volume to turn up. Lighthouse already uses gestural commands, and Nest IQ security cameras are able to identify individuals by their face. Whether people will want to fill their homes with (potentia

You might not know that the Apple Watch 3 can gather detailed metrics for those activities – and has been able to since December 2017. As far as how these winter activities utilize the hardware within Apple’s popular wearable, it triggers both the built-in GPS function and altimeter. An ever-broadening fitness scopeApple’s support for winter sports is a continuation of its efforts to broaden its offering even more. At this point, there’s not much else that the Apple Watch 3 can’t do, though we’d
