Some time ago we wrote about how Microsoft is working on a new browser to replace the old Edge with. Well, it looks like such a browser is really coming out: Neowin website has managed to snatch and publish a few screenshots of it online. So, what do we know about this new Edge? First of all, it will not be based on the old EdgeHTML engine, instead using a Google Chrome based one called (duh) Chromium. The general art style of the browser looks much like the older Edge did, although it has also taken cues from Chrome – profile pictures, for example. The new Edge will supposedly offer ...
Samsung has just patented a wireless TV
This juicy bit comes from LetsGoDigital. According to them, Samsung’s wireless television set will be based on an electromagnetic belt installed somewhere between the TV and the wall behind it. This belt’s role will be to wirelessly support the TV with power taken from the powering station (which is wired to the outlet); it will achieve this with the use of its magnetic field. The station, by the way, will also serve as the TV’s loudspeaker.LetsGoDigital does not know when will this TV set come out, nor how much will it cost. The predictions so far are ”when it is ...

Friday 13th: The Game will come out on Switch
Friday 13th is a horror stealth/hunt video game based on the famous horror series of the same name. Its creators, the Gun Media studios, have had an unfortunate court run-in in with Victor Miller. The result of it is that Gun Media are not allowed to tamper with their game any more: they can sell it and keep it working but they cannot add anything more to it. Somehow, this agreement does not mean that they cannot port the game to other gaming platforms though, which is why we are getting its Switch version. It should be out by Spring 2019, and will have all the paid DLCs as well as some cut ...

Nokia 2 budget smartphone updated to Android 8.1 Oreo
It is nice to see Nokia continue its tradition of keeping its older/lesser smartphones alive with updates. Nokia 2 may be a weak budget device back from 2017, but it still received an update to a relatively new OS. Original Nokia 2 was supposed to be updated to Android 8.0, but the company’s plans have changed. There are also rumours of the device being upgraded to Android 9.0 Pie in the future, butthat is doubtful – the 8.1 Oreo update is already putting a lot of strain on the phone’s low specs. Keep that in mind when downloading an update, as you will have to choose ...

Xiaomi Mi Max i Mi Max Prime will also not receive the MIUI 11 update
It has been known for some time now that Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Mi 4, Mi 4S, Mi 4C and Mi 5 will not receive the MIUI 11 OS overlay. Sadly, the Mi Max i Mi Max Prime models are now being added to that list. MIUI forum’s administrator has said that the reason for this is, long story short, it has too much work on its plate to be able to support older devices like the ones listed. Too bad. Lets hope that abandoning older models at least means that Xiaomi will put more effort into polishing up the new ...

We do not know in which countries exacly will it be released, nor if its specs will be any different than the Chinese Galaxy A90. For more details about this device, check our news from ...
