After downloading this build, click on the Menu button, select Settings, select Privacy and then check off the box next to Enable VPN.

But of course, as we all know, cheaper isn’t always better and costliness doesn’t always indicate superiority, either. As such, we’re going to compare the Pixel 6 and iPhone 13 in a slew of categories that matter to the average consumer, including battery life, cameras and more. The best smartphones of 2021 Smartphones with the longest battery life in 2021 We anticipate that the iPhone 13 will annihilate the Pixel 6 on the performance benchmarks, but I wouldn’t allow that to sway your decision....
The question has been an obvious one: how will PlayStation respond to Xbox Game Pass? And the answer is to merge PS Plus and PS Now into one service. With Sony already ruling out any of its first party AAA exclusives launching day one on PS Plus Premium, the value proposition of this is different to what Microsoft is offering — relying on a large library and retro throwbacks over giving you the newest games from their launch date....
Best Buy is selling the Surface Pro 6 (opens in new tab) with a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD for $699, or — hold onto your seats — a whopping $500 off.

The Tune 120TWS is an under-the-radar model in the wireless earbuds category that is ideal for those who enjoy bass-forward sound at a much more reasonable price than the AirPods. Reviewers have praised the earbuds for their level of clarity and depth, along with their versatile performance. JBL even programmed each bud with multiple commands and tri-digital assistant support (e.g. Siri, Google Assistant, and Bixby). The Tune 120TWS doesn’t hold back on the low end, producing full and powerful bass worthy of a higher price point....
This gaming initiative from Google allows, in theory, any computer — no matter how old or underpowered — to run top-of-the-line, big-budget games, provided they have a strong enough Internet connection. There was every reason to be skeptical of Google’s claims, but having tried it for myself, I can say that it mostly works. And if it mostly works now, who’s to say it couldn’t completely work in the not-too-distant future?...
The PS5 now supports displaying 120Hz content at a 1080p resolution, which wasn’t the case before. However, there’s still no variable refresh rate support. Additionally, the PS5 has an option now where it can switch the video output to non-HDR when the console is playing SDR content.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent the majority of your time with the PlayStation 4 using YouTube, Twitch and Netflix.

The 2021 Acer Nitro 5 is one of the best gaming laptops around. This particular machine packs a 17.3-inch (1920 x 1080) 144Hz display, 2.3-GHz Intel Core i7-11800H 8-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. For graphics handling, it employs Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050Ti GPU.

So what is the Realme 8 Pro’s party trick? It’s simple. Remember that 108MP sensor you see in the Samsung Galaxy S Ultra line? You can find one of those in this phone. While Realme has successfully invested tons of resources into the rear shooter, that singular dedication has resulted in an unfortunate impact on the rest of the experience.

Based on the Red Magic 6R, Nubia joins the ranks of other fellow OEMs trying to answer that question. This is a phone that cuts a few corners to focus on power, a high refresh rate display and adding additional controls like shoulder buttons. Only a mere three months since the Red Magic 6, and we already have this Racing version (that’s what the R stands for), which maintains the same performance while shedding some weight and sporting a more elegant design, to gun for the mainstream....
