The wired charging war has definitely subsided recently, but it hasn't outright stopped. According to a new rumor out of China, Realme is getting ready to introduce its very own 300W wired charging solution for smartphones. We say "its very own" because this won't be the first 300W system shown by a Chinese device maker - in fact, Redmi announced its take on the matter all the way back in February of 2023. When that came around, it was claimed it would fill up a 4,100 mAh battery from zero to full in under five minutes. More than a year has passed since that presentation and there...
Earlier today, Google announced the successor to the awkwardly named Chromecast with Google TV - the somewhat less awkwardly named Google TV Streamer. Alongside this, the company also unveiled that Google Home is getting Geminified in the near future, because of course it is. Gemini will be used to analyze your Nest's camera feed and, "over time" (whatever that means) it will go from "understanding" a narrow set of specific things like motion, people, and packages, to being able to "more broadly understand what it sees and hears, and then surface what's most important". ...

ASUS has launched the ROG Ally X in India. This launch comes roughly two months after its international announcement back in June during Computex 2024. The ROG Ally X is an upgraded version of the 2023 ROG Ally, which is a handheld Windows-based gaming PC. The Ally X maintains the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and even the same display as the Ally, so it's not quite a second generation model, but it does bring with it a host of other changes. The biggest change is the new 80Wh battery, which has double the capacity of the original model. The Ally X also features double the storage at...
