The idea of running PC games on an Android does seem like a dream come true. I also remember the time when something like this would have been considered crazy, but modern smartphone hardware has become so much more powerful than it used to be. That is why YouTuber ETA Prime has gone ahead and decided to run Fallout 4 on an Android device using Winlator, and although the results are far from perfect, it does open a lot of possibilities for the future. Fallout 4 running on multiple Android devices shows that the future of game emulation looks bright […]

Today's Google I/O was a handful as the company talked about a lot of AI features that will be coming out in the coming days, weeks, and months. Sundar Pichai even made a joke about how the word "AI" was used 120 times during the event. However, there is no denying that the Mountain View giant did reveal some really interesting technologies, and one of the interesting technologies that debuted today was Veo. It is Google's answer to OpenAI's Sora, wherein this is the latest AI-powered video generator and it seems pretty impressive. Google's Veo is one of the most […]

Android and ChromeOS are two of the brainchildren from Google, and for the longest time, they have both managed to enjoy a good chunk of success. Android is largely found on our smartphones and tablets, while the latter is is reserved for specific tablets, laptops, as well as PCs. If you have ever found yourself wondering if these operating systems can work on either of the devices, then Google has just proved that it can be possible, but I would not advise you to wait for that to happen. ChromeOS running on Pixel 8 seems like a great idea but […]
Vivo has never been a company stranger to innovation and robust smartphones.
