The Essential Phone will launch as a carrier exclusive for Sprint in the US. There has yet to be an announcement of the cost when purchased through the carrier, but if Sprint wants to draw in new customers, it’s likely going to be available for a fraction of its $699 unlocked price tag. A look behind the scenes, thanks to USA Today , reveals that the move isn’t really that surprising after all. It’s hard to say if Essential Phone will be a timed exclusive for Sprint or if it will be a permanent

Then it’s probably worth checking out the newly-announced Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus. Both phones have a metal shell, and the Moto E4 Plus pairs that with a 5.5-inch HD screen and a massive 5,000mAh battery. And when you do need a power boost you won’t be waiting long, as the Moto E4 Plus also works with a 10W rapid charger to replenish the battery quickly. Lots of phone for the moneyThe other specs sound solid for an entry-level handset too, including a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP front-facing camera

The PC Gaming Show will be preceded by a keynote from Intel, who also sponsor the show, so it looks like it’s going to be an exciting couple of hours for PC gamers. Microsoft, EA and Bethesda have all had their E3 showcases which were heavy on PC gaming reveals, but if you’re hungry for more – and Microsoft’s new Xbox One X didn’t excite you – then read on to find out how to watch PC Gamer’s E3 PC Gaming Show live.

Microsoft’s all-new Xbox One X console may look exciting, with its powerhouse guts and penchant for visually-stonking 4K games, but those title will come at a price – storage space. Enter Seagate, with its new Game Drive Hub. A hard drive tailored to the Xbox console family, it’s offering a whopping 8TB of storage space with which to store all your games on.

Microsoft has announced that it’s rolling out its controller customization service, Xbox Design Lab, to even more countries today alongside even more customization options. Unveiled last year, Xbox Design Lab was Microsoft’s first ever controller customization service which allowed Xbox owners to design their own official Xbox controller in a way that suited them. Xbox Design Lab will now have more than a billion customization options for you to explore with these additions. That said, purchasin

So it’s building up in greater and greater quantities, which is a problem because it traps heat like a giant blanket. They’ve built a pilot plant that can not only suck CO2 out of the atmosphere, but then subsequently turn it into renewable fuels and useful chemicals so that we don’t have to use as many fossil fuels. The first is a solar power plant which generates the energy to power the process. The second pulls CO2 and water out of the atmosphere and stores them separately. The neat thing abo

Virgin Media’s Super Hub routers have once again been the victim of a major security flaw, although the good news is that the company has already patched this issue. Recently, we’ve been hearing a lot about problems related to the firm’s newest Super Hub 3, but this latest vulnerability, discovered by Context Information Security, pertains to its predecessor. Researchers found that the Super Hub 2 (and Super Hub 2AC – both made by Netgear) had a serious hole which could be exploited in a feature

Toyota has started researching technology that would allow its cars to detect if the driver is having a heart attack, and stop the vehicle to prevent a crash. Obviously, having a heart attack is very serious business, and being behind the wheel of a car when one happens is not only dangerous for you, but also other users on the road. Now Toyota is teaming up with the University of Michigan to develop technology that can detect when a user is going to have a cardiac issue. Want some more Toyota n

The highly anticipated sequel to the Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimThe highly anticipated sequel to the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim When can I play it? “They’re not a two-button vending machine, where first we press Elder Scrolls and then we press Fallout, and then we press Elder Scrolls and then we press Fallout. Howard said nothing that would point towards Elder Scrolls 6 being in active development, though. There’s no confirmation on whether or not either of these titles are the highly anticipated Elder

We’ve seen a glut of awesome E3 trailers, including the latest showcases of some of the biggest franchises in gaming, so we’ve brought them all together in one place for your delectation.

Keep your eyes locked on this page – we’ll be updating it every time a major new trailer worth your time lands. So the prospect of playing the game in a virtual effing world is pretty excit

Games, games, gamesSo, it’s left to the games to do the talking. I’ve spoken to a few people at Microsoft asking them why, as a PC gamer, I should get an Xbox One X. They’ve often struggled to answer. I also got the impression that the Xbox One X isn’t being aimed at PC gamers at all. This is mainly because all games on the Xbox One X will be held back by needing to be playable on the under-powered Xbox One. TechRadar Editor-in-Chief, Patrick Goss, explains how as a lapsed PC gamer, the Xbox One

Fortunately, you can get a gaming machine that’s even more powerful than the Xbox One X right now – by building your very own gaming PC. We’ve taken a look at the recently revealed specifications for the Xbox One X, and used PC components of equal or greater power to create a gaming machine that will blow the new Xbox out of the water. These are the best monitors you can buy for your gaming PCBuying the graphics cardAccording to Microsoft, Xbox One X will have six teraflops of graphical performa

Said credits will be universal, meaning that you can spend them across both Fallout and Skyrim as you wish. Creative defenseIn its FAQ for the club, however, Bethesda is defending itself by insisting that this isn’t a system of paid mods. The FAQ states: “Is Creation Club paid mods?”The reply is: “No. But the flat-out denial that the Creation Club is a system of paid mods is rather confusing – since it clearly is, albeit with caveats – and again hasn’t gone down particularly well with the gaming

Project Scorpio is Xbox One X – the upgraded, 4K-ready home console that’s been tricked out to the nines. If this was Sony – a firm who makes Sony Bravia 4K TVs after all – a true 4K console would be sold as a never before seen experience. If you’re presenting a new console that’s almost a generational leap all by itself like a marginal upgrade, that’s how it will be seen by the average consumer. Microsoft’s Xbox One X campaign needs to be like the ballsy Xbox marketing of old. Even the naming c

Logitech has announced two brand new gaming mice, the Logitech G703 and G903, as well as its first-ever wireless charging mouse mat, the Powerplay, in time for E3 2017. Both mice feature much of the same specifications and capabilities, though, the glossy white, $99 (about £77, AU$131) G703 lacks the configurable buttons of the matte black, $149 (about £116, AU$197) G903. Both mice also feature the PMW3366 sensor, a widely-lauded optical mouse sensor in the eSports world with a max DPI (dots per

EA’s E3 2017 keynote showcased games that were revealed earlier this year with two minor exceptions, and the one you should pay attention to is an indie game called A Way Out. What sets A Way Out apart from those other big budget franchises is that it’s, well, not a big franchise. A Way Out is made by the small independent team and the lead designer, Josef Fares, that created Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons back in 2013. You’re going to frickin’ love it.” Well, OK, he didn’t use the word frickin’.

At this year’s Bethesda E3 conference we got another glimpse at the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls: Skyrim for Nintendo Switch. In a short trailer, we got a look at how Skyrim on Nintendo Switch will take advantage of some of the Switch’s more individual features such as allowing players to the Jon-Con’s motion controls to control their weapons. By tapping a Link Amiibo onto the reader on the console’s joystick, the player was able to bring Link’s Master Sword, clothes and weapons into the gam

DOOM VFR was shown off at Sunday night’s Bethesda Keynote, alongside Fallout4VR – a version of the game compatible with the HTC Vive headset. Nothing was said about a release date, but players were understandably excited to dive face-first into Fallout 4’s apocalyptic open-world. We’ve talked about Fallout in VR before, lamenting the fact that it didn’t have a release date. We had heard rumors that DOOM, one of our favorite games of 2016, was getting a VR version sometime this year but Bethesda

Bethesda has unveiled a new Wolfenstein game, named Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, at its presentation at this year’s E3 conference. From the reveal trailer it seems as though the game will be set in the United States and will follow a group of rebels as they attempt to overthrow a Nazi occupation. Familiar themes from the series appear to be making a return, including dual weilding weapons and brutal melee kills. However beyond the over-the-top action that the series is known for, there were
