Intel could be about to produce a mobile CPU which uses AMD’s Vega graphics technology, according to the rumor mill. This speculation stems from a leaked Intel slide posted by Wccftech with a caption that reads ‘Vega Inside, Mobile Performance Outside’ suggesting that we could see a mobile processor which has, well, Vega graphics inside. The leaked slide could even simply refer to discrete Vega graphics in Intel-powered notebooks, although the way the caption is worded doesn’t suggest that, and

We’ve asked OnePlus, but we haven’t heard back yet and rumor has it the OnePlus 5T may be just around the corner. A new flagship phone from OnePlusA new flagship phone from OnePlus When is it out? So, OnePlus released two phones last year with the OnePlus 3 in June and a follow-up handset called the OnePlus 3T in November. OnePlus 5T news and rumorsRumors for the OnePlus 5T aren’t numerous right now and most of the information we’ve seen has come from one source known to GizmoChina. That was arg

That’s why it makes so much sense, then, that Samsung has announced it’s releasing robot vacuum cleaners inspired by the Dark Side. There are two models to choose from, one that looks like Darth Vader’s mask and another that resembles a Stormtrooper. Come to the clean sideThese are essentially just limited edition versions of Samsung’s original PowerBot vacuum so you can expect the same CycloneForce technology. There is one key difference that sets these models apart from the standard Samsung Po

Despite the Huawei Mate 10 likely launching on October 16 we still haven’t heard that many rumors about it, but a promotional poster that was seemingly spotted in China has filled in some of the gaps. Spotted by @Daimoi on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site) the poster claims that the Huawei Mate 10 will have a 4,000mAh battery, which is the same size as the Huawei Mate 9. That’s a resolution that we’ve heard before but previous rumors put the screen at 5.9 or 6 inches. That would be a boost –

So what is motion smoothing, why do directors hate it, and why do television manufacturers insist on including it in their sets? The ‘soap opera effect’Put simply, the ‘soap opera effect’ is the unintended consequence of your television’s motion-smoothing technology. In order to smooth out this motion, most televisions now include some form of motion smoothing technology (although almost every manufacturer seems to have a different name for it). By the time the panel has refreshed 60 times, all

The rise and rise of esports continues with the news that Hulu has ordered four new original shows centering around competitive video gaming. All four series will be made through esports content and tournament producer ESL, reports Variety. If you’re a Hulu subscriber you can look forward to a game-style talk show called Player v Player, a docu-series following the Counter-Strike-playing Immortals team called Bootcamp, a general esports show called Defining Moments, and a tournament recap show c

The Sony Aibo, a robotic dog that was ahead of its time and would set you back around $2,000, stopped rolling off the production lines in 2006. If the rumors are to be believed, the iconic gadget of yesteryear could be about to stage a dramatic comeback. Now, the time could be right for an Aibo comeback. With every big name in tech now bringing out a smart speaker, perhaps Sony can get an edge over the competition by having a speaker that also moves and acts like a canine. The latest AI would en

We’ve not really had chance to put the Face ID recognition system on the iPhone X properly through its paces yet – but according to those in the know, Apple is planning to add Face ID, and the TrueDepth camera that powers it, as an upgrade in its 2018 edition of the iPad Pro. That’s based on a report from well-placed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, who has a decent record of predicting Apple’s plans. We’re also waiting to see whether Apple will switch its tablet screens from IPS LCD to O

The performance-tracking experts crunched the numbers in their database, based on real-world tests, comparing the iPhone 5S across iOS 9, iOS 10, and iOS 11 stretching back to April 2016. They also looked at newer iPhone models across shorter time spans, and across the board the results were pretty consistent. What’s more, the benchmarks don’t cover battery life, which can often fall off a cliff on outdated hardware. There could also be a psychological factor at play, Futuremark says – the thoug

Garmin is one of the top brands in the running watch world right now, and has one of the widest portfolios, from the budget Forerunner 10 to the expensive, but more fashionable, Forerunner 630. Read our full Garmin Forerunner 15 review3. Whilst this is clearly of benefit, the wrist-based heart rate monitoring is not without its faults, particularly when it comes to tracking heart rate during interval sessions. When compared to the heart rate readings of a traditional chest-mounted monitor, the w

The right processor will allow you to get more done but it won’t help protect your computer from external threats.

Here is our curated list of the best VPN servicesIt stands for ‘virtual private networking’, which is a popular internet security method. Just bear in mind though that VPN setups are only as secure as the weakest link in the entire chain. By using a VPN, you can, in theory, prevent your internet service provider (ISP) and government from seeing your internet history. Furthermore, a VPN can be used to avoid having your internet connection throttled, and that’s certainly relevant at the moment giv

Paris Games Week is fast approaching. https://t.co/SvLpBfTmErOctober 5, 2017Sony better than anyone knows that it’s dangerous to over-hype and under-deliver, so our hopes are high for some exciting reveals at Paris Games Week. Given that the company was fairly quiet in Paris last year and at Gamescom in Germany this year, Paris Games Week is really its last chance to make a big impact on a European crowd in 2017. We were glad that Yoshida said there would be more announcements to come and we exp

On Friday, the Department of Justice announced that it had arrested 24-year-old Ryan Lin from Newtown, Massachusetts on charges of cyberstalking. He also utilised anonymous international texting services as well as offshore private email providers. Investigators also discovered that Lin used the website TextNow to send anonymous SMS messages and that he sent emails using the end-to-end encrypted email service ProtonMail.

Xiaomi is seemingly working on the next device in the Redmi Note series, the Redmi Note 5. Specs of the next device in Xiaomi’s successful Redmi Note line-up have been leaked, suggesting that the Chinese smartphone maker will be launching two variants of the Redmi Note 5. Apart from the processor, the Redmi Note 5 leaks also suggest that Xiaomi may be bringing dual camera setup to the Redmi line-up for the first time. While the new leaks are all hinting at a very good upgrade from the Redmi Note

Phones running Windows Phone or Windows 10 have been heavily in the minority for a number of years, and nothing was coming to change that. However, in 2010 HTC was so capable of making excellent smartphones that it was the lead manufacturer for the big reboot: Windows Phone (or, more specifically, Windows Phone 7). Windows Phone handsets reportedly didn’t exceed sales of the Windows Mobile devices left on the market, despite the HTC-made range of handsets reviewing well. Taken in a vacuum, Windo

Your computer may be harvesting cryptocurrencies without your permission thanks to a large number of popular websites reportedly being infected with malware that uses visitor’s computers to mine cryptocurrencies. According to a BBC report, a scan of some of the most popular websites on the web found hundreds to be harbouring malicious mining code. Mining cryptocurrencies require a lot of computational power; rather than having one central computer that monitors the spending of cryptocurrencies,

If you’ve noticed that not every text message sent to you on your Samsung Galaxy S8 is getting through, you’re not alone. Some users report that services that push message alerts to your computer momentarily show the messages, so they are coming through, but for some reason aren’t being displayed on Galaxy S8 handsets. It may also be a regional issue, as most users reporting the issue are on US networks, though one we’ve seen is on Rogers in Canada and having the same issue with their Samsung Ga

All OnePlus 5 variants are out of stock in the US, while in the UK two out of the three versions are unavailable. O2 however, the exclusive network for the OnePlus 5, still has stock according to its website. News sites have been quick to speculate it could mean the OnePlus 5T may be just around the corner in a similar move to when the company announced the OnePlus 3T in November 2016. The OnePlus 3T was released with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset inside after the OnePlus 3 packed the poorer
