Samsung has subtly released a new 4G-only smartphone in select European markets. Meet the Samsung Galaxy A18. The Samsung Galaxy A18 4G is powered by a new and unfamiliar Exynos 1610 processor, with 4GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of internal storage.

Diablo V is coming in 2029 — Blizzard

Over 3 years from Diablo IV’s 2023 launch, Blizzard has confirmed Diablo V for a first-half of 2029 release window during its BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony in Anaheim. The Diablo V story picks up around a century after Diablo IV’s ending, after the Lord of Terror’s rule has hardened into a permanent state. Blizzard’s 48-second teaser depicts the aftermath: thousands of angels executed on makeshift crosses, and the surviving human population kneeling before Diablo as their new deity. There is no chosen hero, no quest log, no town to call home. Instead, players take the role of an heir to the fallen kingdom of Westmarch and lead a ragtag caravan of survivors through a desolate landscape.
