Last week, Windows 11 officially launched and a few new laptops were the first to get access to it. But as always, a new operating system is bound to have bugs and users soon found that AMD PCs had performance issues. Well, looks like that's being fixed.

As you know, Apple released iOS 15 recently, which introduced some new features. Not a lot of people have upgraded to the new version yet, as users might not consider it worth upgrading to. But the new upgrade for the AirPods Pro could be useful for some people.

By now, most of you may have already upgraded your PC or laptop to Windows 11. However, if your model is using an AMD Ryzen mobile processor - you might want to hold off the upgrade because there are reports of performance issues.

If you recall, Android 12 was officially released yesterday. Smartphone brands were quick to announce custom UIs based on the new version. OPPO, Xiaomi, and realme already have their versions, and now Samsung is part of this gang with One UI 4.0 beta.

For Samsung smartphone users, the company's One UI is among the top Android skins these days. In the latest One UI 3, there are even cool features like Multi-Active Window. Now, Samsung is gearing up for the release of the next big version - One UI 4.

When it comes to gaming, we know how addicting it can be especially during this pandemic period. We also know how common (and sometimes annoying) is to have your parents nagging you to sleep and Tencent is taking this on another level. In China, the company launched a facial recognition software system that will lock selected mobile games from 10 PM until 8 AM.

This article will look at why brands that make Android smartphones launch more devices than Apple.

Based on a report by Reuters, it seems that Huawei’s CEO Ren Zhengfei has recently made a statement hinting that Huawei could potentially focus more on software development in the future in order to alleviate the effects caused by the trade ban. With that being said, Huawei could potentially ramp down their smartphone manufacturing if they do start focusing more on software.

Aside from announcing the new HUAWEI Mate X2 foldable phone, Huawei also talked about HarmonyOS last night. HarmonyOS 2.0 beta version has been out for quite some time now and starting from April onwards, some Huawei phones will be getting the upgrade via OTA.

After releasing the Office 2019 back in September 2018, Microsoft will be bringing upgrades to the software by launching Office 2021 later this year. The news was announced yesterday with the company promising two new versions that will be available on both Mac and Windows PCs in the second half of the year.
