I feel like a broken record, but I’ve been writing for more than a year that the next Xbox console will be more PC-like. Now, I think Microsoft just teased its next-gen Xbox plans while announcing its partnership with Asus to bring two Xbox Ally handhelds to the market later this year. The Xbox Ally handhelds run Windows, but the Xbox team has worked with Windows engineers to

Razer’s new mobile controller can stretch wide enough to fit an iPad Pro

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2026-04-20 01:00:00

The iPad Mini is no longer the biggest tablet you can fit into a mobile gaming controller (without breaking it a little). Razer’s new $199.99 Kishi V3 Pro XL can accommodate a 13-inch iPad or Android tablet that uses a USB-C connector. It’s like Razer’s 2013 Edge, in spirit at least. My 10.9-inch iPad Air is a cinch to fit inside of the Kishi V3 Pro XL, and having even this large of a screen to play on is a treat. How could it not be? Not only that, its speakers sound fantastic for playing game

After all the Pixel battery issues, I don’t think I can keep recommending Google’s phones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-04-20 11:00:52

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I love a good Pixel. I’ve owned several, defended them in heated group chats, and even converted a few friends to the cause. But lately? I’m hesitating — hard. The elephant in the room, if you haven’t noticed, is batteries. Not in the “oh, it doesn’t last a full day” sense — we’re talking swelling, melting, and potentially exploding. The kind of hardware horror that once tanked a Samsung generation is now infesting Google’s own backyard. If you’ve missed the s

It wasn’t that long ago that an ad-free experience was the default for streaming services. But companies need to make sure the line keeps going up, and one way to do that is to monetize the audience by serving them ads. Amazon introduced ads to its Prime Video streaming service last year, with the promise that it would be light and unintrusive. Well, time to juice those profits, because Adweek reports that Amazon will double the number of ads that it serves per hour to its viewers. Look at this
