Sony WH-1000XM6: Studio-level accuracy, 12-mic ANC, 30-hour battery

Sony’s flagship headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM6, is now official. It’s been upgraded in almost all areas, and sadly, that includes the price. The Sony WH-1000XM6 , as per Sony, has “studio-level accuracy” so you can hear music “as it was meant to be” by the creatives who made it. To develop its clear and accurate sound, the company tapped a couple of professional and award-winning studio engineers: Battery Studios’ Mike Piacentini, Grammy-winner Michael Romanowski of Coast Mastering, and Sterling Sound’s Chris Genringer and Randy Merrill. The WH-1000XM6 uses 30mm drivers with a high-rigidity carbon fiber composite material dome and a new voice coil structure. It then has a new digital-to-analog conversion technology that uses an advanced look-ahead noise sharper that helps predict and optimize quantization noise while reacting quickly to sudden sound changes. The WH-1000XM6 supports several codecs: SBC, AAC, LDAC, LC3 with Sony DSEE Extreme upscaling algorithm, and 360 Rea...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and S10 FE Plus now in the Philippines

Samsung’s sub-flagship tablets, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE Plus, are now in the Philippines. Both the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and S10 FE Plus are powered by the same Exynos 1580 octa-core processor and, sadly, only 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage — really lackluster for the price. Both models also have the same 12-megapixel ultra-wide selfie cameras, 13-megapixel on the back, AKG-tuned stereo speakers, and 45W fast charging. Their only key difference is the display, battery, and sizes. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus comes with a 13.1-inch IPS screen with a 10,090mAh battery. The smaller Tab S10 FE has a 10.9-inch screen with an 8,000mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus 8GB/128GB/5G retails for Php39,990 , while the Galaxy Tab S10 FE 8GB/128GB/WiFi and 8GB/128GB/5G come in at Php26,990 and Php31,990, respectively. You can get a Php4,000 discount when you purchase from the Samsung Online Store or Shop App until December 31, 2025, and a 50% off on an anti-...

Sony Xperia 1 VII: Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, Exmor T sensor, Bravia OLED display

Sony’s latest flagship phone is out. The Sony Xperia 1 VII has a lot of the upgrades you’d expect from a 2025 high-end phone, but with a similar design to its predecessor. The Sony Xperia 1 VII is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with vapor chamber cooling, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage that’s surprisingly expandable via the microSD card slot — a feature not all high-end phones have. We also have a fancy 6.5-inch Bravia OLED display with a 2340 x 1080 pixel resolution, 10-bit color, and a high 120Hz refresh rate. It then has illuminance sensors in front and back for precise brightness adjustment. It also adapts to ambient lighting for automatic display color adjustment. Sony went with the usual 5,000mAh battery with a relatively slow 30W charging. Despite this, Sony claims it can last for up to 2 days. Sony’s Xperia Adaptive Charging and Battery Care is also here, which ensures 4 years of healthy battery. It will receive 4 years of OS upgrades on top of A...

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU, 3900mAh battery, 5.8mm thin

Samsung has released the ultra-thin member of the Galaxy S25 series and decided to bring back the “Edge” branding. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge comes out before the long-rumored iPhone Air. It seems that the goal here is to bring back the race of who can manufacture the thinnest smartphone, something that the market has already moved on from. This one is only 5.8mm and weighs 163g, which is much thinner and lighter than most phones that average at around 8mm and 180g, respectively. One downside of having an ultra-thin profile is the battery. It only has a 3,900mAh capacity, versus the average 5,000mAh that others have. On the upside, charging is relatively fast, especially with Samsung’s insistence on capping the speeds at 25W. They claim a 30-minute charge only gets you to 55%. No wireless charging, though. The rest of the specs look like your typical flagship Android phone. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, the same one found on the th...
