There's still some debate over whether the next Asus gaming phone will be called the ROG Phone 4 or the ROG Phone 5, but whatever the moniker, the device has now shown up in a Chinese regulatory filing – complete with pictures showing it off from all sides. The documents published by TENAA give us our best look yet at what we're going to call the ROG Phone 5 for now (partly because you can actually see a number 5 written on the back of the handset). It also looks as though we're getting a dot matrix display on the back of the Asus ROG Phone 5, similar to the one on the Lightning Armor case for the ROG Phone 3 . These newly leaked images show the Asus ROG logo, but we're assuming that can be customized. The full guide to spatial audio The iPhone 13 could ditch the notch You should watch It's A Sin Apart from that embellishment on the back, not much seems to have changed in terms of the appearance of the ROG Phone compared to the 2020 edition.

Immersive sound formats are taking the world of home audio by storm, with Apple’s Spatial Audio joining the likes of Dolby Atmos , DTS:X, Sony’s 360 Reality Audio and Creative’s Super SXFI in the quest to make 3D sound in the home more accessible than ever.  Though these audio technologies differ in the way they enable immersive sound, they are all capable of making the sound of your music, films, and games feel as though it’s coming from all around you.  Whether you call it immersive, 3D, or spatial audio, these technologies are the biggest thing to happen to home cinema and music listening since surround sound.  While surround sound gave our music a sense of horizontal direction, spatial audio takes this one step further by adding height cues to film soundtracks and music. Imagine the difference between hearing a helicopter flying a few hundred yards away versus directly over your head, and you’re nearly there. For cinephiles, spatial audio makes films feel more en...

Super Bowl LIV in 2020 could end up being quite a milestone for the NFL. Depending on who prevails in this year's big game, it may just have marked the beginning of a Kansas City Chiefs dynasty - here's how to get a Super Bowl live stream in 2021 and see this February's mouth-watering Mahomes vs Brady duel for yourself.   But it also marked the first time ever that the Super Bowl was available to watch in Ultra HD definition and with HDR support, leaving many people to wonder: can you watch Super Bowl 2021 in 4K HDR as well? Given that technology by its very nature tends to move forward, you'd think the answer would yes - but sadly, Super Bowl 2021 will only be aired in HD this year and therefore won't offer HDR support. The reason for this is, according to Super Bowl broadcaster CBS, is Covid-19 production restrictions - which is understandable, if frustrating for fans hoping to catch all the action from Raymond James Stadium in stunning UHD.  As CBS is the o...

We're not expecting to see the iPhone 13 until September, but there's already been plenty of speculation about the changes that Apple's next flagship handset might bring with it – and the latest rumor is that it could do away with the front display notch entirely. According to @MauriQHD on Twitter, one of the more well-known and reliable tipsters out there, Apple has a prototype iPhone 13 device that doesn't have a notch but that does have slightly thicker bezels around all four sides to compensate. However, there's no guarantee that this is going to make it to the iPhone 13, due later in 2021 . The notch-less design that Apple is working on might not be finalized and ready until the iPhone 14 rolls around, the same source says. Get up to speed on the Oculus Quest 3 iOS 15 is due this year Get ready for Samsung rollables The notch has been a feature of the iPhone ever since the iPhone X broke cover in 2017, although Apple still sells the iPhone SE that ...

In the last two years, a whole new industry has emerged within the blockchain and cryptocurrency universe, that of decentralized finance (or DeFi for short). Built predominantly on the Ethereum blockchain, DeFi is the crystallization of ambitions held by the architects of cryptocurrencies, to build a fully fledged financial system controlled by no single entity. The arrival of crypto allowed us to send and receive money with no intervention from an intermediary (e.g. a bank), but the rise of DeFi allows us to borrow, lend, save, speculate and more under the same conditions. Check out our list of the best crypto wallets out there We've built a list of the best crypto exchanges right now Here's our list of the best mining rigs on the market For example, with DeFi lending protocols such as Compound, anyone can take out a cryptocurrency loan backed by collateral or gain interest by lending out their own crypto, irrespective of their identity and financial history.

The end of 2020 saw a conversation take place within the gaming community which took a nasty turn for the worse. It was about black female representation in gaming, and the support – or perceived lack thereof – received by black women from games companies and the community at large. We’re going to do our best to give a rough breakdown of events and provide some clarity to a difficult issue. To conclude we’ll list ten great well-established black female content creators you might want to check out. Do black women content creators need more support? Are they perhaps under the radar because they’re not as polished, or is there something more sinister at play? Are content creators right to speak out if they feel underrepresented or excluded? Well, let’s find out. So, what’s the big issue? On September 23, 2020, Stephanie Ijoma, black streamer, content creator and founder of gaming platform NNESAGA listed on Twitter the streamers and content creators who had received next-gen review ...

What is VRR? It’s one of many acronyms floating around TV functionality these days, but you’ll want to get your head around it to make sure you’re fully informed when buying a new TV – especially if you’re going to be using it to play on an Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S or PS5 . VRR, or ‘variable refresh rate’, as it’s known, is a key feature for getting a smooth, artefact-free picture when gaming – ensuring a clean image for both offline and competitive games. But how does it work, and how much does it actually make a difference? You’ll find all the answers in the guide below. What is VRR? The main job of VRR is to eliminate screen tearing when playing games. Tearing is a kind of visual glitch, where the image on your TV shudders mid-frame before carrying on as before. But what is actually going on here?  Screen tearing happens when your TV’s refresh of its image is out-of-sync with the rate at which  your console or PC graphics card delivers frames. You end up with a...
