Microsoft unveils Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition and X25 controller for the 25th anniversary

On November 15, 2001, Bill Gates (and The Rock) unveiled a new gaming console called the “Xbox”. Later this year, the Xbox line will celebrate its 25th anniversary and Microsoft is ready with a special edition of the Series X. The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition ditches the black and white colors of the base Series X and dresses up in translucent green – for those who weren’t around back then, translucent green was the coolest in the early 2000s. Also, the iconic X logo on the console will light up in green when you power it up. That’s not all, the announcement says that you will also...

Sony 1000X The Collexion review

10 years ago, Sony announced its MDR-1000X noise-canceling headphones in a bid to challenge Bose and its QuietComfort lineup. And they did just that with the 1000X series going on to become synonymous with class-leading noise canceling and audio quality. With ten years under their belt, Sony decided to launch a special edition of its flagship ANC headphones dubbed Sony 1000X The Collexion. With a more premium build, custom drivers and sound tuning from mastering experts, these cans are clearly meant to stand out from the regular WH-1000XM6. But they also come with a $200/€200 price...

Fastest mobile chipsets ranked: compare smartphone processor performance

The gap between smartphone chips in 2026 is absurd. The fastest chip we’ve tested is roughly 15 times more powerful than the slowest one still found in modern smartphones. And yet both can run essentially the same apps, games and operating systems. Mobile silicon has become wildly diverse. Of course, raw performance isn’t everything. Software optimization, thermal management, storage speed and app behavior all play a huge role in how fast a phone actually feels day to day. But when it comes to demanding workloads, there’s still no substitute for brute computational power. So we decided...
