Galaxy S25 Edge Camera Takes On iPhone 17 Air
Samsung plans to release its thinnest phone ever next month. The Galaxy S25 Edge was pushed back from April to May 2025 after leadership changes at the company. A new database leak shows the phone will pack serious camera power despite its slim design. The main camera matches the S25 Ultra with a 200MP sensor that can capture highly detailed photos. This camera already ranks higher than both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Google Pixel 9 in test scores. The phone also features a 12MP secondary camera similar to other S25 models. The selfie camera uses an S5K3LU sensor, but the ultra-wide lens might not match what rivals offer. Camera fans will be surprised by how much technology Samsung squeezed into such a thin body. The Galaxy S25 Edge...
Nvidia Scrambles to Woo China With Blackwell Chips
NVIDIA plans to make new AI chips for China after recent US export bans. The company told Chinese partners like Alibaba about creating chips based on their newest Blackwell design. US rules stopped NVIDIA from selling its H20 AI chip to China earlier this year. This hurt NVIDIA because the company had already sold about $12 billion worth of these chips in China. The CEO even traveled to China after the ban to calm worries. NVIDIA wants to keep its Chinese customers happy without breaking US laws. The company might release special versions of its B100 and B200 chips that meet US rules but still offer better performance than older models. This would be the fourth time NVIDIA has made special chips just for the Chinese market. Chinese...
GTA VI Pushed to 2026 Fans Are Fuming
Rockstar Games pushed back Grand Theft Auto VI to May 26, 2026, missing its planned Fall 2025 release. Despite earlier promises from Take-Two Interactive chief Strauss Zelnick that the game would arrive on schedule, many industry watchers saw this delay coming. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier revealed that Rockstar staff had known the Fall 2025 date was unrealistic for months. The delay stems from both the amount of work needed and management's desire to prevent harsh overtime for developers. This marks a possible culture shift at Rockstar, which faced criticism for intense work demands during past game launches. The company aims to give teams enough time to finish the highly anticipated game without burning out. This decision could...
RTX 50 GPUs Crash Steam Survey Party
New RTX 50 graphics cards show up in Steam stats for April. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 each grabbed 0.38% of users, with 5070 Ti slightly behind at 0.28%. These cards first hit stores in January, but high prices kept many gamers away. The powerful RTX 5090 remains missing from the charts, though some users may have it but have not registered their hardware. AMD cards face an even tougher road as no RX 9000 models appeared in the April data. This seems odd since RX 9070 cards have been available for purchase. The upcoming RX 9060 XT should arrive during the Computex show later this month. NVIDIA dominates the top 20 list, with laptop RTX 4060 leading at 4.99% after growing 0.51% last month. The highest AMD card ranks far down the...
iOS19 Beta Leaves Siri Fans Reeling
Apple tests iOS 19.4 well before its spring launch next year. Website logs show both the main iOS 19 and the 19.4 update are under active work right now. Engineers want extra time to perfect the delayed Personalized Siri feature, which should have appeared in iOS 18.4 but missed its deadline. The New York Times reported that Apple might release a new Siri version later this year. This leaves questions about when the personal assistant upgrade will arrive—either in the main iOS 19 release or 19.4 next spring. The upgraded Siri will read screen content, learn more about users, and control apps better through voice commands. These abilities would make iPhones much smarter than current models with basic AI tools. Apple Intelligence needs...
Samsung Wild Clip On Lens Patent Transforms Phone Snaps
Samsung might add swappable camera parts to phones without making them fatter. A new patent filed last year shows the company wants to create phones with lens parts users can change. The patent, WO/2025/084594, appeared on April 24. These camera add-ons would connect through magnets or RFID tags that help the phone know what lens is attached. Unlike other clip-on lenses you can buy today, these parts would fit into the phone body itself. When the phone sees a new lens, it can change settings like aperture or zoom levels right away. Samsung aims to keep cases on during lens changes, making the system more practical for daily use. Many patents never become real products after companies file them. Samsung may test this idea with the...
Apple Takes 900M Tariff Hit to Keep Prices Low
Apple plans to eat $900 million in tariff costs this quarter instead of raising prices. Tim Cook said during an earnings call that the company is still talking with officials about these new taxes from the Trump administration. He shared no clear answers about future price changes but praised how his team worked to fix supply chain issues. The company has already started making some products outside China, looking at places like India and Vietnam to build iPhones. These countries face smaller import taxes when shipping to America compared to Chinese goods. The US government wants tech firms to make products inside American borders rather than overseas. Apple might keep current iPhone prices steady, but next year could bring higher...
Unofficial Oblivion Remastered Patch Obliterates Bugs
Fans made a patch for Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered that fixes many problems. Players can grab this update from Nexus Mods as long as they have version 0.411.140.0 of the game. The patch tackles issues with quests, characters, items, and more. These fans want to repair every bug the official team might not fix. Their full list of changes is on their website. The remaster still runs on the old Gamebryo engine, which means bugs come with the territory for this Bethesda title. Even with these flaws and some slow performance on computers, the game remains worth buying for anyone who loves role-playing adventures. The remaster improves what needed changing, but keeps what made the original special. Some folks might dislike the...
GTA 6 Delay Sends Fans Into Frenzy
Rockstar Games pushed back Grand Theft Auto VI from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. The company announced this change on social media earlier today. Fans must wait about six months longer to play the much-wanted game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series machines. Rockstar said they need more time to make sure the game meets player expectations. The company promised to share new details about the game soon. The delay surprises almost nobody who follows Rockstar. The studio often takes extra time with its projects. Experts still expect GTA VI to break sales records when it finally arrives next year. The game remains one of the most talked-about upcoming releases across all entertainment types. Rockstar has not mentioned plans for other platforms...
