It’s been another busy week in the tech world. After rifling through the primary sales (some still go), we so we Microsoft defend his Xbox Game Pass Price increases, and we also reviewed the world’s best travel camera.
To catch up with all this and more, you can scroll down to see our overview of the seven biggest stories of the week plus links to the full articles if you are eager to learn more.
When you’re done, make sure to also check out our choices for the seven new movies and TV shows to watch Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (October 10).
7. Microsoft defended Xbox Game Pass
After a significant fan battle from its recent game passports increased Microsoft, Microsoft decided to change course … wait, sorry, no, it doubled.
Microsoft’s director of game and platform communication, Dustin Blackwell, said that price increases are “never fun for anyone” but insisted that these climbs were the right thing and that more value is added to its game passports.
Many of us here at Techradar are not yet convinced, and it seems that many people do not buy it either. More people than ever are reportedly googling to find out how they cancel their subscriptions.
6. Take Heuer revealed his expensive Apple Watch -Rival
Smartwatches are large on practical, but often lack the design and prestige of classic watching. Well, Tag Heuer tried to change it this week with its new connected caliber E5 if ‘made for iPhone’ invoicing means it plays particularly nicely with iOS devices.
During its smart, stainless steel design, E5 is filled with sensors for fitness tracking and can measure your blood oxygen, heartbeat and sleep quality. And while it works with Android phones, you need to get faster mating, improved connection and more consistent updates on iPhones. The only stumble block may be that $ 1,600 (about £ 1,200 / AU $ 2,400) Price Tag.
5. Wake up up dead man wowed us
While the Netflix movie first streams before December 12th we got to see Wake up dead man Early at the London Film Festival, where it debuted.
The third in Knives out Series starring Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc is “an almost perfect Netflix Binge” according to our reviewer, giving it four out of five stars.
To give you a longer excerpt from full revision: “Thanks to a whiplash script, there is almost a laugh every minute that has been pepped between Blanc’s extraordinary monologues, we have come to know and love. Netflix, the role crew and the absurdity of what is happening around them are all in the shooting, and the metaphoric shots that are guilty of the most pleasurable to the most pleasurable. scams or leaves, and there is nothing ‘that is No. here.
4. We tested a five -star travel camera
The new OME system OM-5 II travel camera has been subjected to some criticism for being a little too same for its predecessor-but as it says it is, if not broken, don’t fix it. ‘
You can hike the price, increase the specifications and change the identity of this camera, or you can get what you get from this travel snap, which is a quick, responsive travel -friendly experience with an EVF, weather sealing, excellent IBIS and a wide range of compact, affordable lenses of high quality.
The OM-5 II system has shared meaning, but we are stuck in the camp that it is fantastic-what is why we gave it five stars.
3. Sennheiser revealed new headphones
Audio Tech Stalwart Sennheiser has revealed the HDB 630 headphones, which it promises will deliver “real audiophile sound”. It is largely because they are gathered with Sennheiser’s BTD 700 USB-C Dongle, which can bypass the wireless transmitter used by your phone to activate APTX, APTX HD and APTX adaptive audio regardless of your device-seeing you, iPhone.
The quality is so good that even Spotify’s new loss -free update does not quite maximize it out. Instead, you want a tidal or Qobuz subscription (or similar) to get the best Bluetooth Lyte experience.
2. A reality-warping camera fell
AI -picture and video tools are big right now, and Camera Intelligence’s new Caira device has brought Google’s new Nano Banana AI image model to a Magsafe attachment so you can edit reality in real time.
The advantage here is that you can see what your final result will look like before entering your home editing studio and realizing that a different composed shot would have looked much better than what you took when all adjustments are made.
As with all such tools, there are questions about ethics and responsible practices, but the camera’s intelligence says it is limiting identity-giving functionality and that it is obliged to what it calls a “ethics-first” development strategy.
1. We reviewed Pixel 10 Pro Fold
This week we released our Pixel 10 Pro Fold Review – and although it is a “phenomenal smartphone”, after some time it was “back and wanted more … or maybe less.”
The problem is that the new Pro Fold costs $ 1,799 / £ 1,749 / AU $ 2,699, which is $ 950 / £ 750 / AU $ 1,000 more than Pixel 10 Pro. The fold can’t just be good, it really has to justify its price against the excellent flat phones out there – and it doesn’t quite hit the labeled in terms of cameras and features that benefit from its unique design.
Still, it looks good, has a “charming software personality” and is the most durable smartphone on the market right now, so this folder still has parties going in their favor.
