The Xiaomi 13 Ultra broke Samsung Galaxy A54's streak on top last week, but the Korean mid-ranger was again the most popular phone in our database in week 17. The monster cameraphone only lasted a week in the lead before stepping down to second position, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra completes the podium positions. Redmi Note 12 Pro and Redmi Note 12 come in fourth and fifth positions, while Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max retains sixth place. The Tecno Spark 10 Pro is back in the top 10, now ranking seventh, the Galaxy A34 stays in the eight spot. The Realme 11 Pro+'s teaser campaign is...

The WH-CH720N are Sony's latest alphabet soup wireless noise-canceling headphones. The CH-series is Sony's mid-range offering with a balanced feature set that sits under the more premium 1000X series and alongside more specialized models like the XB extra bass series. The CH720N sits at the top of that range with a fairly broad feature set that makes it essentially a lite version of the 1000XM5. You get Sony's active noise-cancellation along with a claimed 'balanced' tuning for the sound, all powered by the dedicated Sony V1 processor, also found on the 1000XM5. Let's see how they...

The Xiaomi 13 Ultra remains the most popular phone in our database, a week after it went live. Clearly, it has captured people’s attention – but most people aren’t rushing out the door to get one. Last week’s poll shows that despite its elite pedigree, the phone will have to prove itself in reviews. Is it really the camera king? We’re in the process of finding out. Its predecessor, the 12S Ultra, earned a place in our hearts, but its limited availability made it a non-starter for most fans around the world. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is different, it is a global phone, even if the company hasn’t...

Google I/O is scheduled for May 10 and the tech giant is expected to talk more about the upcoming Android 14 OS and also launch the beta program. Ahead of the launch, Google seems to be sending out early access invites to smartphone makers to speed up the adoption process and seamlessly integrate the new features. And in a press release, Nothing announced that its Nothing Phone (1) will soon receive an Android 14 Beta 1 update and kickstart the process. This is a big moment for the new company as it tries to make a name for itself. Despite being a mid-range smartphone with Snapdragon...
I held off on buying the Steam Deck after it came out a little more than a year ago. At the time, it had lots of bugs, long shipping delays, and some uncertainty about how much commitment its maker, Valve, really had for its latest hardware experiment. I gave in and bought one about two months ago, and I've been enjoying this much-improved device ever since.
But now comes the Asus ROG Ally, which is powered by a new 55 percent faster AMD Ryzen Z1 chip yet costs only $50 more than the highest-end Steam Deck at a purported (store-leaked) $700. It also runs Windows 11 (perhaps in "handheld" mode), making it easier to run many games, including blockbuster AAA titles and massive online titles like Fortnite. The Ally is seemingly a bit flatter and lighter than the Steam Deck, and it has a sharper and brighter screen and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. It might even run cooler and quieter, according to brief hands-on experiences posted by reporters. It will seemingly arrive in early May or shortly thereafter.
As you might expect, the gaming press—which, like all press, is fundamentally geared toward conflict—is cheering to see another combatant enter the arena. Asus' device is "gunning straight for the Steam Deck," "bad news for Steam Deck," and "big trouble for the Steam Deck." It has one writer "ready to ditch my Steam Deck." The ROG Ally, Giovanni Colantonio writes at Digital Trends, "fixes almost every single problem I have with the Steam Deck."

It took Samsung several months, but the skin temperature sensor on the Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro was finally enabled last week. However, these sensors are currently used for just one feature – skin temperature based cycle tracking. That’s just the start, though. A Samsung official posted on the company’s Korean forum to reveal that more temperature-based features are being developed and that they will be delivered with future software updates. However, the timing of the release is uncertain – such health-tracking features may require certification by local authorities in each region,...
Enlarge / Microsoft's "green-eye" mouse, the first Microsoft-branded mouse the company sold. (credit: Microsoft)
If I asked you to name Microsoft's best-known and longest-lived product, you'd almost certainly say "Windows." But another one of the company's products has been on the market for even longer: its mice.
Microsoft started selling its first computer mice in 1983, a year or two before the Macintosh and other computers made pointing devices standard-issue and two years before the first version of Windows was released. The Microsoft Natural Keyboard followed in 1994. Since then, the company has offered a range of Microsoft-branded PC accessories, from successful ones like the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard to short-lived experiments like Microsoft SideWinder gamepads and joysticks.
Microsoft-made mice and keyboards aren't going away, but the Microsoft brand name is. The company told The Verge that it will stop selling Microsoft-branded keyboards, mice, and other accessories following a series of layoffs that affected its hardware division. The company will refocus its efforts on higher-end Surface-branded keyboards and mice, which represent just a tiny fraction of all the accessories Microsoft currently sells.

Sony ended its fiscal year with the quarter closing this March on a high. It posted a record operating profit of 1.21 trillion JPY (€8.1 billion, converted), beating its own forecast. Sony forecasts sales for its next fiscal year, ending March 2024, to be around 11.5 trillion JPY - about the same as this year. A large part of that success is thanks to outstanding PlayStation 5 sales. Sony sold record 19.1 million consoles in the fiscal year - compared to the 11.5 million sold in the previous fiscal year, which was marred by supply chain issues. Sony hopes to sell 25 million in this fiscal...
Lava made the Blaze 5G official back in October of last year, and then followed it up with a 6GB of RAM edition this February. Now the company seems ready to improve upon the formula even further, with the Blaze 1X 5G. The new model is already listed by Lava's official website, even though it hasn't been announced during an event - nor through a mere press release. The Blaze 1X 5G comes with a 6.5-inch 90 Hz 720x1600 LCD display, the MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, a 50 MP main camera flanked by two decorative shooters, one 2 MP, one VGA (!), an 8 MP selfie snapper, 6GB of RAM (with...

At its quarterly earnings call earlier today, Verizon announced plans to extend its C-band 5G coverage to more rural and suburban areas by the end of this year. While it's unclear which specific markets should expect to see a C-band upgrade, Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg did note that so far, C-band 5G coverage has been rolled out to 70 out of 406 available markets. That leaves 330 still waiting, and some of those will definitely get lucky before 2024 comes along. Unfortunately, Vestberg did not clarify how many of the 330 yet-unserved markets would be getting C-band coverage this year,...

There are so many streaming services pushing for our dollars these days that the industry's feeling a lot like cable—except more people are streaming than they are watching cable. Streaming services debut, combine, and rebrand constantly, and the streaming wars have never been hotter. Yet, the original streaming king remains on top when it comes to eyeballs on the screen. As Bloomberg calculated via Nielsen data this week, Netflix accounts for 70–80 percent of the 10 most-watched TV shows in the US weekly.
On Sunday, Bloomberg shared a detailed and handily interactive breakdown of streaming data accumulated from Nielsen and third-party analyst firms Antenna and Parrot. Critically, though, the report lacks data on what shows are driving Paramount+, since "it's the only major streaming service that doesn’t participate in the Nielsen charts" and Prime Video, since Nielsen doesn’t include viewership on third-party services.
Having launched in March 2021, Paramount+ is relatively new, but Antenna reports it acquired more new subscribers (7.6 million) from January to March 2023 than other streaming services recorded (Prime Video isn't included). However, "about 7 percent of the people who pay for Paramount+ cancel every month," Bloomberg said. Still, the streaming service with the second most subscriber gains during this period (HBO Max) was behind 26.3 percent. Paramount+ may be an interesting service to keep track of as the battle for subscribers continues.

The Pixel Fold is a real phone! Google has been talking about building a foldable since 2019, and specific models have been rumored since 2021. Numerous delays and cancellations have been enough to make anyone wary about the long-rumored device, but now a growing chorus of rumors claims we'll see an announcement at Google I/O in May.
Over the weekend, though, for the first time, real-life images of the Pixel Fold hit the Internet. Android researcher Kuba Wojciechowski posted a quick video to Twitter of the Pixel fold opening and closing. It's not much, but it's the first confirmation we've seen that this is a real piece of hardware that exists outside of a computer screen.
— Kuba Wojciechowski :3 (@Za_Raczke) April 22, 2023
As usual, the previous renders from OnLeaks seem pretty accurate; we can see the front of the device, the slightest hint of the camera bar on the back, and the inside of the screen. Just like on the renders, the inside of the phone has bezels that are noticeably bigger than the normal design you'd get from Samsung or Oppo. The inner screen doesn't have a hole in the display for the camera and instead opts for the old-school layout of shrinking the screen to make room for a camera above the screen and then extending that dead space across the top of the phone. Did Google shrink the entire screen across that giant foldable just to tuck a camera into the top-right corner? It's a strange step backward when hole-punch displays are the default.

Sony may be ready to unveil the Xperia 5 V a full quarter early as evidenced by the recent leaks of the device. This latest one is a 3C certification of the device with the model number XQ-DQ72, revealing its 33W charging capability. That same model number was seen in February on Geekbench, sporting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with 16GB of RAM. Sony usually releases the Xperia 1 earlier in the year - May to August, and then the Xperia 5 follows in September or October. We might be in for a change this year and we are looking forward to it.
