Stuff had a chance to muck around in the squad-based shooter’s Private Beta over the weekend and this is the information we managed to salvage. Not a fan of long-form reading? The basic notes point to one thing: The Division 2 should be on your radar.
Virtual reality is coming to homes. Or, at least, it’s getting closer than it has at any point in its surprisingly lengthy history. The next arrival may be via computer maker HP, which has a Windows Mixed Reality headset on the way. Codenamed ‘Copper’, the in-development VR hardware has one thing in particular going for it — resolution. Lots and lots of resolution.
We’ve been expecting it for a while (ever since the Zuck got caught using it without us), and now it’s finally here. Facebook has rolled out the ability to unsend Facebook Messenger messages to everyone using the Messenger app.
It’s really hard these days to keep a secret. When it comes to gaming that statement is extremely true but Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the Titanfall series, almost managed it. Almost. The result is Apex Legends, a new free-to-play entry in the battle royale genre that has dropped on us almost without notice.
You read that headline correctly — Energizer, the company best known for rabbits and batteries (not in that order), will be launching a range of smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC). And, unlike companies that just dip their toe into smartphone manufacture, they’re going all-in. How else do you explain the fact that they’re showing off a range of 26 devices at MWC 2019?
2019 Is fast looking like the year of the folding smartphone. Samsung’s got something in store, Xiaomi’s putting their efforts in front of faces sometime this year and Huawei’s also going to be joining the party. The Chinese company has announced its own pre-Mobile World Congress event for 24 February, just a few days after Samsung’s own reveal event. What can we expect to see at Huawei’s event? The company’s folding phone, according to Android Police. The website spoke to Huawei’s Consumer Business Group CEO Richard Yu a short while ago, who said, “We look forward to seeing you in…
Nintendo’s list of games aimed at mobile phone users continues to grow. The newest addition to the stable — or perhaps the medical centre in this case — is Dr. Mario World, an action puzzler based around the company’s mascot, this time clad in a lab coat. The Japanese games maker says that there’s an ‘early summer’ release planned, meaning we should see it here a little before mid-year (you know, our winter). And we might actually see this Android and iOS release at launch, since the rollout is global. Kinda. Nintendo’s Dr. Mario World appointment is penciled in for…
Every year we get a new iPhone. Well, every year Apple releases a new iPhone. You can get it, if you want or if budget allows. But every year we also get a price increase for said iPhone, a phenomenon that prompted Apple to start releasing explicitly cheaper editions of their mobile phone. But, if Apple’s Tim Cook is to be believed, we could experience something strange soon. The price of an iPhone either staying static or, amazingly, coming down. Speaking to Reuters, Cook acknowledged that in some markets — where the local currency is weak against the dollar –…
Smartphones are, when you actually think about it, just little pocket-sized computers. The fact that they can make phone calls is a holdover from the days when having a phone in your car made you super-cool (or a Wall Street broker with some unusual items in your gym locker). And, like computers, smartphones constantly upgrade to faster processors, more RAM and better storage. Samsung’s been helping with that last bit in particular, and has started producing its first 1-terabyte (TB) embedded Universal Flash Storage (eUFS) option for mobile devices. Gee, we wonder how high storage on the Galaxy S10 is…
