Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are just weeks away, with various leaks teasing its slick style with barely any bezel - and its super powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor - but now, we're looking down the sights of the gold colored variant.

Someone has gotten their hands-on a purported Galaxy S8+ smartphone in gold, rocking a huge 6.2-inch display - while the Galaxy S8 will have a smaller 5.7-inch display, both not being that much larger thanks to the all-display front. There's no physical Home button on the Galaxy S8 and S8+, a reverse decision on the S7 and S7 edge with its physical Home button.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S8 later this month, with a full retail and shipping push in the third week of April.

Just last week we reported that the Galaxy S8 will come in a purple color, among others. The rumor was reported by leaker Roland Quandt, who has been quite reliable in the past.

Now, the Brazilian online store Submarino posted a poll on their website asking the visitors to choose their favorite color option for the upcoming flagship, and the colors are Black, Silver, and Amethyst. This probably confirms the rumors, and it will certainly be interesting to see the new color option for Samsung's devices.

Amethyst is a bit unusual, but that just might be a trend this year since Huawei introduced a not-so-typical green version of the P10 and P10 Plus.

Samsung will officially launch the Galaxy S8 and S8+ in just two weeks, and we have already seen numerous leaks about the specs and the design of the upcoming flagships.

The latest leak shows the interface of the highly-anticipated phones. The Korean company clearly went for a minimalistic but modern design.

Most icons, discovered inside the latest version of Samsung's Smart Switch app, have simple outlines forming the shapes.

A recent report has suggested that Samsung will start mass production of foldable smartphones in H2 2018. New rumors from Korea say that the company will reportedly start producing thousands of prototypes in Q3 this year.

This means that Samsung might show the first prototypes at IFA 2017 in Berlin, but have in mind those would be early prototypes. The company has already faced some challenges with the development of the foldable phones. The main reason for the delay is said to be technical issues involving a key component of foldable smartphones.

Samsung has already shown the foldable screen technology that has four different modes - rollable, bent, curved, and foldable.

NVIDIA just launched its Pascal-based GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with a huge performance crown earned at $699, and now we're hearing that TSMC is taking orders for next-gen HPC (high-performance computing) chips for AI applications from both NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.

The new report is coming from DigiTimes, which reports: "TSMC will fabricate NVIDIA's next generation Volta GPU using a 12nm process, said the paper, which added that the Volta GPU will be paired with NVIDIA's Xavier supercomputer chips for self-driving car applications".

NVIDIA is currently having TSMC produce its 256 core Pascal-based GPU and dual-core Denver 2 CPUs for their recent Jetson TX2 supercomputing platform, all on the 16nm process. NVIDIA's next big leap will be to Volta, on the smaller 12nm node - where things will really get interesting.

Intel is making a massive investment into autonomous car technology, acquiring Israeli self-driving car firm Mobileeye for a huge $15.3 billion.

Mobileye has technology inside of 27 carmakers' vehicles, with technology from cameras to sensors around the car, to emergency braking technology, lane assistance systems, and more. Intel has been working with Mobileye for a while, teaming with BMW last year to make a fully autonomous car by 2021.

Intel isn't just throwing down its $15 billion investment for nothing, as the company sees the autonomous car market becoming a mammoth $70 billion market by 2030. Intel boss Brian Krzanich made it very clear that by combining Intel's processing power with Mobileye's advanced automotive computer vision systems, and its partnerships with carmakers, as something transformative. Krzanich said: "Together, we can accelerate the future of autonomous driving with improved performance in a cloud-to-car solution at a lower cost for automakers".

Quake was my original FPS love, with thousands of hours pumped into the original (and rocking my 3dfx Voodoo 4MB graphics card at the time) and into its sequels, Quake II and Quake III Arena. Now, we have the news that Quake Champions, being developed by id Software once again, will be a free-to-play game.

We've been introduced to one of the Champions already, but id Software's Tim Willits has come out saying: "At its core, it's a free-to-play game," Willits said, "with the option to buy the Champion Pack and just get in and play with all the Champions. There are a number of Quake players that just want to play their Quake, right? And they are familiar with the business model of our previous games, and they are totally fine. 'I want to buy the game. I want to start playing. I want to have access to all the Champions".

He continued: "But then we also understand that we want to get as many people into the game as possible, especially outside of North America and Western Europe, where we have a massive fan base. So we want to have the flexibility to have a free-to-play option for those people".

AMD has just issued a new community update on its brand new Ryzen CPUs, addressing issues over thread scheduling on Ryzen processors - but also detailed the problems over temperature reporting on Ryzen.

AMD explains in the post that the "primary temperature reporting sensor of the AMD Ryzen processor is a sensor called 'T Control,' or tCTL for short. The tCTL sensor is derived from the junction (Tj) temperature-the interface point between the die and heatspreader-but it may be offset on certain CPU models so that all models on the AM4 Platform have the same maximum tCTL value. This approach ensures that all AMD Ryzen processors have a consistent fan policy".

The post continues in detail, with AMD explaining: "Specifically, the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X and 1800X carry a +20°C offset between the tCTL° (reported) temperature and the actual Tj° temperature. In the short term, users of the AMD Ryzen 1700X and 1800X can simply subtract 20°C to determine the true junction temperature of their processor. No arithmetic is required for the Ryzen 7 1700. Long term, we expect temperature monitoring software to better understand our tCTL offsets to report the junction temperature automatically".

Now that AMD has launched its Ryzen processors, some niggly issues have popped up with one of them being the underwhelming performance at 1080p. AMD has hit back with an official statement, saying: "the Windows 10 thread scheduler is operating properly for Zen".

AMD continues, saying that they "do not presently believe there is an issue with the scheduler adversely utilizing the logical and physical configurations of the architecture". There have been some differences between Windows 7 and Windows 10 performance over the thread scheduler, but AMD added that they "do not believe there is an issue with scheduling differences between the two versions of Windows" and that any performance differences between Windows 7 and Windows 10, come down to the difference between the operating systems - and not the Ryzen CPU.

AMD also talked about the SMT (the multi-threaded part of Ryzen) and the negative performance in some games, with the company saying that SMT offers a "neutral/positive benefit" in a range of processors. AMD added: "For the remaining outliers, AMD again sees multiple opportunities within the codebases of specific applications to improve how this software addresses the "Zen" architecture. We have already identified some simple changes that can improve a game's understanding of the "Zen" core/cache topology, and we intend to provide a status update to the community when they are ready".

PAX East 2017 had some great things for gamers to check out, but Gran Turismo Sport would have to be at the top of some gamers' lists - especially with Sony pushing it as a PS4 exclusive.

During the show, gamers got to test out Gran Turismo Sport before it is released - with some off-screen footage captured, showing off some of the various tracks that will be featured in the game. Check out the video above.

Sony confirmed during the Geneva Motor Show that they've partnered with watchmaker TAG Heuer for Gran Turismo Sport, with TAG Heuer becoming the game's official timekeeper. Sony explained: "TAG Heuer will appear as the official timekeeper and official watch of Gran Turismo Sport in all areas of the game, and TAG Heuer's Live Timing technology will be used to provide players with an experience that's just the same as real motor racing".

Microsoft has been pumping some serious hype into its upcoming Project Scorpio console, with the company touting it is the most powerful console ever created - with Middle-earth: Shadow of War developer Monolith Productions reiterating Microsoft's comments on the console.

Shadow of War was recently confirmed as the first Xbox Scorpio title, with Microsoft's backing, with it featuring 4K and HDR technology. During an interview with GamesRadar, Monolith Productions boss Kevin Stephens said: "I can't speak for Microsoft, but from our point of view they seem very committed to, you know, if you buy an Xbox One, whether it's a One, or an S, or a Scorpio you're going to buy a game and [be able to] play it on any of them. That seems very consistent with our experience of working on those platforms".

In previous interviews, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has teased with Project Scorpio: "We've found nothing false about their claims about the hardware. As far as we can tell, it will be the most powerful console ever created when it launches - unless somebody has an announcement I don't know about".

The PC version of Mass Effect Andromeda has been confirmed to not be a console port, but what hardware will you need to run it at 720p and 1080p? We know that, which we've got below for you - but what about 4K 60FPS? Now we know that, too.

In order to run BioWare's upcoming Mass Effect Andromeda at 4K 60FPS+ you're going to need one of NVIDIA's fresh new GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards to hit 4K 60FPS+ according to BioWare Producer Michael Gamble. Gamble recently took to Twitter confirming Mass Effect Andromeda is indeed not a console port, but he was also asked "can the 1080 Ti run the game at 4K@Ultra smoothly?" with Gamble tweeting back "lol yes, 60+".

We will be running Mass Effect Andromeda through its paces when it drops on March 21 (in the US) and March 23 (in Europe).

Director David Fincher's spectacular Hollywood adaptation of Stieg Larsson's 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' series is finally set to continue nearly a decade from the release of the last film, albeit in a full reboot minus Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara and David Fincher.

According to The Wrap, Sony Pictures has hired 'Don't Breathe' director Fede Alvarez to take the helm of the fourth book in the series; 'The Girl in the Spider's Web', which has locked in a late 2018 release date. The 2009 adaptation grossed $232 million worldwide, but was seen as a disappointment based on the strong cultural awareness, coupled with the budget excesses for the r-rated film incurred by the infamously fussy director.

'The Girl in the Spider's Web' is set to hit cinemas in October 2018.

Huawei unveiled the Honor V9 back in February, and on April 5th the company will launch the global version of the device under a name Honor 8 Pro.

According to the rumors, the specs of the phone will remain the same as the device that was already announced in China meaning we are looking at a 5.7-inch QHD display, dual 12MP+12MP camera, and Kirin 960 processor.

There should also be 6GB of RAM on board if the specs of the Honor 8 Pro remain the same as the ones of the Honor V9. You can also choose between 64GB and 128GB of internal storage with the V9, so the same is expected with the Honor 8 Pro.

Sony today announced that PS4 games will soon be playable on the company's PlayStation Now games-streaming service, effectively bringing PS4 games to PC for the first time.

Soon gamers will be able to stream PS4 games to their PC with a PlayStation Now paid subscription. The service, which streams games over Sony's cloud infrastructure, will also act as a rental service for PS4 owners who will get to sample the available console titles. On top of the $20 a month subscription fee, users will also need a $25 DualShock wireless dongle to use console controllers on PC via PS Now.

"As many of you know, PlayStation Now lets you stream hundreds of PS3 games - currently 483 to be exact - to your PS4 and Windows PC. We're excited to announce that PS Now's catalog is set to grow even further, as we'll be expanding to include a new platform: PlayStation 4 games. All of the games in the service, including PS4 games, will be included with a single PS Now subscription. We'll share more information as we get closer to launch, so stay tuned," Sony said in a recent blog post.

Vertu, a manufacturer, and retailer of luxury phones was established back in 1998 by Nokia. However, the company has changed hands a couple of times by now.

First, the company was sold to EQT VI in 2012, and their most recent owner, a Hong Kong-based holding company Godin Holdings, bought the company in 2015.

Now, Vertu once again has a new owner - a Turkish businessman Hakan Uzan, who is currently in exile. Uzan reportedly bought Vertu for $61 million.

Microsoft's new Project Scorpio console may be the real deal when it comes to native 4K gaming, despite having only a scaled, console-grade 6TFLOP GPU. Reports indicate that Microsoft's "monster" 4K console could record gameplay footage at native 2160p 60FPS as well as stream 4K content.

Windows Central received another tip from its Xbox sources that Project Scorpio will be capable of streaming and recording gameplay footage at 4K 60FPS. The outlet reports that Project Scorpio will leverage HEVC and VP9 codecs for decoding 4K video streams, as well as HEVC encoding for 3840 x 2160 resolution 60FPS Game DVR captures.

"Microsoft's Beam streaming service has been running public 4K stream tests for some time, and it's now fair to assume it will not only be PC streamers who will benefit. Project Scorpio's Game DVR will allow you to stream and record clips in 4K resolution with 60FPS, according to our sources, which is a massive, massive step up from the 720p, 30FPS you get on the current Xbox One," Windows Central's Jez Corden reports.

Back in October, Xiaomi announced their most ambitious phone so far - the Mi MIX. The device comes with an incredible 91.3 percent screen-to-body ratio, which the company says is the world's 1st.

Less than a four months after the launch, the company has confirmed that they are working on the Mi MIX successor. The news was confirmed by the company's CEO Lei Jun.

The company is reportedly aiming for 93 percent screen-to-body ratio this time, and it has been confirmed that Xiaomi is developing the phone with the help of French designer Philippe Starck, who worked on the design of the original Mi MIX.

LG G6 was recently announced in Barcelona during MWC, and the phone is already selling in the company's home country. However, the device has yet to hit global markets as well.

According to famous leaker Evan Blass, the G6 will be launched in the US on April 7th. Blass posted the date on his Twitter along with the photo of the phones which show that date on their display.

Despite terrible reviews, the last DC comics big screen adventure 'Suicide Squad' ended up a big financial surprise for the studio, but it looks that this time around with 'Wonder Woman', Warner Bros are actually attempting to make a half way decent film. The studio has just released its latest look at the film, which seems to be shaping up confidently.

Starring Gal Gadot who reprises her role first seen in 'Batman v Superman', the first stand-alone 'Wonder Woman' film is set to delve deeper into the mythology of the Amazonian warrior, which weaves in and out of 20th century history. 'Star Trek' star Chris Pine also joins the film as the rogueish WW1 fighter pilot Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman is also set to again join Batman and Superman for the upcoming 'Justice League' feature, which launches in November.

'Wonder Woman' is set to hit 2D, 3D and IMAX cinemas worldwide on June 2nd.
