The rumored Xbox Series X all-digital model seems to be real and coming, as some leaked pictures provided the first look at the yet-to-be-announced system. The new pictures, which were shared today by eXputer, highlight how the new system won't look that much different from the current model, with the exception of the removed disc drive.

Additionally, it should retail sometime this Summer for […]
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will go official in July, and so far, we have heard many interesting details about the upcoming flagship phones.

In any case, let us look at these renders and see what else has changed. Pixel 9 also flaunts rounded edges, making it aesthetically different from Google’s previous […]

I like how Samsung is going to have multiple wearables this year, including the Galaxy Watch 7 series. One would think that with the launch of the Galaxy Ring, Samsung would not be paying enough attention to its smartwatches, but that is not the case because it appears that the company is gearing up to launch three variants this time, and the series is also getting a storage bump so that certainly is a nice thing. Galaxy Watch 7 series could finally compete with the Apple Watch series as Samsung is planning a premium model and more storage this time […]
