Qi2 (properly Qi v2.0 MPP, for Magnetic Power Profile) is a new magnetic wireless charging standard that can charge compatible devices at up to 15W. Like Apple’s MagSafe, it uses rings of magnets in both device and charger to ensure proper alignment of the charging coils, and it’s based on the Qi wireless charging standard that’s used by nearly every device that offers wireless charging. In fact, Apple contributed the magnetic power profile technology to the new standard. Unlike MagSafe, Qi2 isn’t proprietary. It’s administered by the Wireless Power Consortium, and although devices need to be Qi2-certified, they don’t require…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Faster graphics memory is on the horizon. Samsung is set to unveil 37Gbps GDDR7 VRAM, meaning the fastest memory of this type that we’ve seen to date. This advancement could bring some serious gains to next-gen top graphics cards, especially if it manages to be featured in Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 50-series GPUs. Samsung is holding a session at the five-day 2024 IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference, titled “A 16Gb 37 Gb/s GDDR7 DRAM with PAM3-Optimized TRX Equalization and ZQ Calibration,” first spotted by TechRadar. That’s how we know this is happening, as Samsung hasn’t officially…
No camera is as exciting or interesting as the Sony a9 III. Since Sony announced it in early November, the a9 III has occupied considerable space in my mind. Many questions have swirled since, and the answers to each have proved mercurial. Editor’s note: For those of you who prefer video content, we recommend starting with PetaPixel’s hands-on first impressions of the a9 III before watching the video above as it will provide not only more information on build quality and design, but also serves to set up the questions that are answered in this review. How does the $6,000…
ININ is bringing another reworked classic to Nintendo Switch this summer. After the delightful remaster of The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors launched to acclaim back in October of 2019, it is with great anticipation that fans look forward to Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn. Like Ninja Saviors, Shadow of the Ninja: Reborn is taking the base game and revamping it from the ground up. For this version, however, Tengo Project is redoing all of the original sprites with new pixel art. Give it a look in this comparison trailer that just dropped, displaying the difference between the NES…
Samsung allows you to customize the color settings on its phones but early adopters have noticed that that one screen mode is not working the way it should on the Galaxy S24.For those who want their display to look vibrant, Samsung advises switching the screen mode from Natural — which displays accurate colors — to Vivid. On earlier Samsung phones, the difference was visible when Vivid was chosen, but on the Galaxy S24, there’s hardly any change, per complaints on Reddit and X.On the Galaxy S24, switching to Vivid doesn’t make the screen look more saturated or rich, which is…
Samsung hasn’t yet launched a tablet in 2024, but they did launch plenty last year. I’m talking about the Tab S9 series, but also about the Tab S9 FE and a Tab A or two. Now they’re preparing a successor for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, a potential Tab S7 Lite. We have more details below. There’s a new Samsung tablet that has been spotted on GeekBench and based on the model number, it could end up being a successor to the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. It’s been 2 years since that model came out, with a pretty high…

The Ryzen 7 8700G is a Zen 4, Ryzen 7000-class processor that also includes a Radeon 700M GPU on the same chip. The integrated graphics portion is based on the RDNA 3 architecture, using up to 12 compute units, AMD says these iGPUs will be powerful enough to play pretty much any PC game at 1080p. As of writing, this is the most powerful integrated graphics in a desktop CPU, but can this new APU take on your graphics card? We’ll figure that out in this review, but, probably not… AMD has announced four chips in the Ryzen 8000G series…
OPINION: I’ve noted in previous Sound & Vision columns that hi-fi needs to appeal to a younger, broader audience; and while it’s beginning to turn its messaging around, in this current climate, it still feels like an expensive hobby. Hi-fi has appealed to a certain audience, and arguably it’s in need of a reformation of sorts. Smartphones swooped in and have stolen much of hi-fi’s thunder, the digital revolution if you can call it that has swept the industry and put streaming at the forefront of products because it is a concept that’s easy to understand than matching hi-fi separates…
Nuclear energy is making a comeback. Across Europe, governments are pouring huge amounts of money into new power plants while startups are busily working on smaller, modular alternatives. Most of these plants rely on uranium, the radioactive metal that fuelled the atomic age (and contributed to a couple of catastrophic meltdowns). However, Swiss startup Transmutex wants to reinvent nuclear energy using a lesser-known element called thorium. Uranium’s forgotten cousin Thorium is a lead-like metal that is mildly reactive, but four times more abundant than uranium and a lot safer to handle. However, thorium not a fissile material, meaning it cannot undergo…
