This week was a little quieter than the last we had, but it was still filled with new essential technological.
Apple faced “scratchgate” because its durability of its iPhone 17 Pro was questioned, and we were able to test the new GoPro Max 2.
To catch up with them and more, scroll down for the seven largest technological news of the week.
7. Google has teased its Android Chrome OS
At Snapdragon Summit 2025 in Qualcomm, the main vice -president of Google platforms and devices, Rick Osterloh, has teased new details on the integration of Android in Chromeos – confirming that it will drop next year.
We have not yet seen what the new improved chromeos will treat us, but the CEO of Qualcomm has seen the operating system in action, calling it “incredible.
This praise should, of course, be taken with a pinch of salt – Qualcomm will provide the chipsets of these new generation chromeos devices and other projects like Android XR, so it is unlikely that he is saying something too critical. That said, it is always an exciting update that could help shake up competition from the computer operating system and bring Microsoft to make appropriate upgrades to Windows.
6. Sony set a date beyond the spider, once again
The third entry of the Mile Morales movies trilogy has a new release date, and it’s good but not excellent news.
It is because it should be released on June 18, 2027, which is two weeks later that Beyond the spiderThe release date scheduled at the origin of June 4, 2027, as announced in Cinemacon in April.
That said, it is seven days earlier than the release date of June 25, 2027 had already been postponed. We do not know why the calendar has been changed so much, but maybe it is better to place the film among his peers, because he now has a better stamp between Pixar Gatto, which should arrive on June 4, 2027, and Shrek 5, With a launch of June 30, 2027.
5. We played Ghost of Yotei
Yotei ghost is an extremely pleasant, action and downright magnificent follow -up of the first match of the Sucker Punch developer in the series, Tsushima ghost.
The World of Ezo of the game is an out -of -competition functionality of the game, and going anywhere is a joy. The landscapes and environments are exquisite and aspire to be explored, while the ability to identify the distant points with your spy and the wonderful and interactive card of the game is only used to encourage this feeling of exploration and discovery.
The story of the ATSU protagonist is captivating, and she is a convincing character to play and assist changes during the game, but perhaps the best thing about him is the smooth, reactive, visceral and bloody combat skills. Moving gently between enemies in a deadly dance, each of its strikes with any weapon you use has a poetry for them, and there is nothing better in the game than to master the fight to send bosses or a group of bad guys.
Although there is a rehearsal in the activities of the world open, some excellent features are somewhat simplistic, and it is only really based on its predecessor. Nevertheless, it always represents an excellent game and adventure PS5, which also looks and plays well on the PS5 Pro. It is definitely an out -of -competition game of the year, and especially for fans of the first game and those who aspire to a great adventure in open world.
4. Google TV obtained Gemini
The TCL QM9K is the first Google TV to obtain the Gemini AI chatbot, a feature that raises the usefulness of the Google Smart TV interface. Techradar is currently examining QM9K, and an absolute priority has been to give Gemini on Google TV an in -depth race.
Addressing Gemini via the microphone with a distant field integrated from the television, we asked him to compile various lists of films classified by their rotten score and limit them only to the streaming services to which we subscribe. We were also able to get advice for coming trips and creating surrealist screen savers so that the TV automatically appears when we entered the room.
In the end, Gemini turns out to be a change of game for Google TV, which ranks differently on the Totem pole among the best intelligent television platforms. Google has announced that Gemini will be added to select TCL and Hissense TV later this year, as well as the new Streamer Google TV.
Not all sets will be compatible with Gemini, however, because it has specific material requirements, but the owners of Google TV should be looking for the functionality if an update is available.
3. GOPRO took things at most 2
Gopro is indeed back in the 360 camera game after launching the max 2 this week – six full years after the maximum original. The shooter “True 8k” presents himself at a party which is already crowded, however, with insta rivals360 X5 and Dji Osmo 360 on the stage.
We had a hand on the max 2 before launching, and from our in -depth tests and our comparisons side by side with our current superior choice, Insta360 X5, the max 2 offers the best image quality of all small 360 cameras in ideal conditions. The image is a little different in low light, however, where the rivals are better.
So, will the max 2 dethrone the Insta360 X5? Not quite, but Gopro impressed us and set a competitive price: $ 500 / £ 450 / $ 850 Auvoir on max 2 ASTER between the Priter X5 and the cheaper OSMO 360. If you are already in the GoPro ecosystem with its accessories, then the Max 2 could now be your first choice of 360 camera.
2. Xbox pocket computers have made the pre -order
After months of waiting, the Rog Xbox Ally and Rog Xbox Ally X finally took the pre -order before their launch of October 16, and above all, we know how much they will cost.
The ROG XBOX ally will cost you $ 599.99 / 499.99 £ / 999 $, while the ROG Xbox Ally X is at the price of $ 999.99 / £ 799.99 £ / 1599 $ in.
If you opt for the standard model, you will get a device with a 7 -inch screen powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2, 16 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage. Go to the X nets you an extreme AMD Ryzen AI Z2, 24 GB RAM and 1 TB of storage.
We had the chance to preview the Asus Rog Xbox Ally in Gamescom 2025, and although we can see that being able to play the best Xbox games on the go to its appeal, “Execution is difficult at best” and “Performance was a mixed bag”.
1. People reported striped iPhones
Several users of the iPhone 17 Pro went to social networks to complain that their beautiful new smartphones scratch too easily – blame the decision to return in aluminum from the harder titanium for the exterior shell.
The IFIXIT team has dismantled the iPhone 17 Pro with its usual metic care, noting that there seems to be a vulnerability for scratches just around the raised camera tray at the rear.
However, Apple claims that “scratchgate” is exaggerated, saying that the iple -shared iple -shaped scratches in Apple stores are, in fact, caused by used Magsafe stands. He argues that “scratches” are materials transferred from damaged Magsafe supports to iPhones.
This is certainly an explanation, although time will tell us if the old Magsafe stands are the only thing to blame, or if “scratchgate” is a more important problem than Apple wants to admit now.
