Making me look back at my time with the Honor Magic V3, exactly two years ago now.

It's crazy how far ahead of the competition it was, in just about every area possible.

These photos were taken during our trip to Alnmouth, a couple of months before our eldest was born.

After just a couple of days I can already tell that Samsung doesn't have anything on this. 👀

I haven't used the Fold8 line yet, but I've been daily driving each generation since Galaxy Fold 4, and besides some small software features (and I really mean small, usually the MagicOS is on pair with OneUI fold features) this Magic V3 simply outpaces the Fold 7 I had.

It's thin, it has good battery, the cameras are waaay better than what you get with Galaxy Folds.

This is getting silly and dangerous at the same time, because I'm starting to look at the V5/V6. 🙈

Not a chance they're going to subsidise something that expensive.

Xbox is reportedly planning to release its next-generation console in Holiday 2028 🎮

• Microsoft has internally projected the console could cost between $1,200 and $1,800

• The company could decide to subsidize the cost

Great stuff.

[Jez @JezCorden]

Told ya!

Xbox and AMD just revealed FSR 4.1 for Xbox Ally X, Xbox Series X, AND Xbox Series S.

This could be transformative for the Xbox Series S and Ally X in particular, boosting performance without sacrificing picture quality.

@DevonDoesTech It's not a sensible thing to be doing when it's all so expensive.

I would if I was loaded, but it's just not practical.

@abigoabi It's what I want, but the price is going to be too high in the UK by the looks of it.

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@septienes Wish I had one.

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@BenThePCGuy I think for you guys it's just as bad in reality.

You have a government that is at least attempting to push things back in a better direction.

We don't have that here or in most of Europe for that matter. Big fights coming whether we like it or not.

@JezCorden I loved Bloody Roar 3

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@maciej_murawski Hey now

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@xperia_japan Not using Xperia, but wish I was.

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@ivabiggun71 @maciej_murawski I imagine it comes with a requirement to not speak of other brands or some sort of thing similar.

I might not exactly be heavy into the YouTube atm, but I want to be back to it soon and I'm not sure this would be a sensible thing to do.

As much as I'd like to do it.

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@UpdatesFromYT @BBCNews @YouTube You can shove it.

@nick_maguire254 Woah, nice one man.

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@maciej_murawski @ivabiggun71 Actually, no I'm not.

[Dan @GroundedTech]

@maciej_murawski @ivabiggun71 I'm going to do the same.
