Particularly in the first year or two of a console cycle, there is an expectation that you will see games released for both the old and the new consoles, but in a recent interview with Gameindustry.biz, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s president and CEO, Jim Ryan, stated: “we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5” (via The Verge)....

We only ask because our mixed Realme 8 Pro review reveals how the non-5G model suffers from the tunnel vision of wanting to be a good cheap camera phone at the expense of updates to the hardware. And on paper, this 5G-equipped version seems to be a mixed bag, with the camera being downgraded, while the display makes the jump to a 90Hz refresh rate. Has Realme focused its attention in the right places to make the compromises easier to swallow?...

Realme 9 Pro+ price and configurations The standard Realme 9 Pro is priced at £299, while the Realme 9i costs £199. Strangely, there are a number of major differences between the Pro+ and the Pro, including a 90Hz Super AMOLED display on the Pro+ versus a 120Hz display on the Pro. You’ll also find a MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G processor, a 4500mAh battery, and a 50MP Sony IMX766 camera with OIS on the Pro+, while the Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 5G chip, a 5,000mAh battery capacity, and a 64MP Nightscape camera — the “+” really does make a difference....

The convertible laptop has a detailed display and a snappy keyboard, and it stays cool under a heavy workload. Unfortunately, its bland design, disappointing battery life and poor webcam give us pause about recommending it ahead of similarly priced 2-in-1s. Design If Samsung is going to compete with its rivals, it needs to take risks. The Notebook 7 Spin isn’t one. The 2-in-1’s design is so basic that it could be used as a blueprint for a laptop emoji – a representation of an ordinary notebook, lacking any unique characteristics....

It’s faster, too. Samsung claims it delivers speeds up to 540 MBps. Of course, for that, you’ll need a USB Type-C port on your computer. But if you have an older laptop, you can still use the included USB Type-C to Type-A cable to attach to your existing ports. The T5 is about the size of a credit card and weighs just 0.1 pounds, so it’s also far smaller than HDD-based storage....

The only difference is that the 13-inch Flex’s GPU is stuck with either Intel Iris Plus Graphics or Intel UHD Graphics, while the 15-inch can be configured with an Nvidia GeForce MX250 GPU....

Sure, it’s no longer Redmond’s 2-in-1 rockstar — that honor falls upon the new Surface Pro — but the SP4 is still an incredibly great convertible and with so many active SP4 deals, you could argue it’s a better value for most users.

Sony WF-SP800N Earbuds price and availability Sony’s not playing around. The company wisely put the SP800N’s price well below its competitors, at $199. As a consumer, it’s easier to justify spending $200 rather than the $249 Apple is asking for the AirPods Pro. And it’s only $20 more than Google’s Pixel Buds 2. Sony WF-SP800N Earbuds design The thing with wireless headphones is that it’s a game of compromise. With such a small space to work with, audio companies have to figure out what to prioritize....

For $199, the sleek Apex Pro offers an excellent per-key actuation feature, as well as a neat OLED display that allows you to adjust the settings on the fly. But the Apex Pro is pricey, and that price doesn’t even get you per-key actuation on every key. Despite that, the Apex Pro is an excellent gaming keyboard, which introduces impressive technology.
