Despite achieving 28% year-on-year growth, the Pixel still only accounted for 6.1% of the $600-and-up smartphone market in the U.S., which is dominated by Apple.

Japan is one of the most sophisticated mobile markets in the world. With AppArena, we're not just adding another icon to the Home Screen - we're bringing a new, AI-driven layer on top of the existing app ecosystem.

The upcoming flagship Xperia will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack and will feature wireless charging. It will also feature Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) connectivity just like its predecessor.

Streaming hasn't killed physical media. It's made us crave it more. CDs are back in rotation, showing up in record stores, apartments, and design studios with a renewed sense of purpose.

The Gaming Tablet 5 Pro is said to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and feature a liquid cooling system, enhancing performance during gaming sessions.

The Maxell Wireless Cassette Player, known as the MXCP-P100, is a compact device that allows users to play their old mixtapes while streaming audio to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

The handheld features a 4.88-inch display with a resolution of 1080 × 1620 pixels and a 3:2 aspect ratio. This format is particularly appealing for retro gaming because it better accommodates older console titles that do not match modern widescreen displays. The panel is also noticeably sharper than the screen used in some competing handhelds, such as the Ayaneo Pocket Micro, which uses a smaller 3.5-inch display with a lower resolution.

The PSP had one analog stick when games clearly needed two. The Vita added that second stick but inexplicably skipped analog triggers and clickable thumbsticks, forcing developers to map essential controls to an awkward rear touchpad. The PS Portal finally nailed the controls by essentially splitting a DualSense controller in half, then rendered the achievement mostly irrelevant by making it stream-only.

According to Bloomberg, Sony decided to shut down the studio following "a recent business review." Around 70 employees will lose their jobs as part of the studio closure, which will officially happen in March. "Bluepoint Games is an incredibly talented team and their technical expertise has delivered exceptional experiences for the PlayStation community," Sony said in a statement to Bloomberg. "We thank them for their passion, creativity and craftmanship."
