Xbox cuts Game Pass prices but new Call of Duty games will no longer hit the service on day one
Xbox is cutting the prices of both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, effective immediately, but there's one big caveat. First, the good news: Game Pass Ultimate now costs $23 per month, down from $30. PC Game Pass will now run you $14 a month instead of $16.50. The Xbox team noted in a blog post that prices may vary by region.

That's a smart, much-needed decision. In a memo that leaked last week, new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma expressed concern over the high price of Game Pass, stating that it "has become too expensive for players, so we need a better value equation. Long term, we will evolve Game Pass into a more flexible system which will take time to test and learn around." Sharma reiterated that publicly in a post on X.

Framework launches the Laptop 13 Pro with Intel's new Panther Lake chips
Framework's lineup of modular, repairable laptops has seen the company grow from a niche to the mainstream. Now, the company is launching a pro version of its 13-inch laptop, but it's still held close to all of its principles. Because while this all-new version has plenty of bells and whistles, almost all of its components are still instantly compatible with the rest of the range. You can take a part from this new 13 Pro, and install it into the first-generation 13 launched back in 2021 without much fuss.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro is touted as a "ground up redesign" of the existing 13, taking into account feedback from its dedicated and passionate users. That includes a far bigger battery, new chassis, new memory, haptic trackpad and a custom touch display. It also comes in black and, even in the press images, it's immediately clear it's a better color for the company's austere industrial design. CEO Nirav Patel smiled knowingly when I said it's immediately evocative of a ThinkPad, and I mean that in the most complimentary way.

Framework The biggest change has been to boost the battery to 74Wh to address gripes about longevity. It's the second time Framework has boosted the cell size, which started at 55Wh and presently runs to 61Wh. To make the battery fit, the bottom of the chassis has been redesigned, filling out the chamfers present on the existing 13. Framework says the Pro's li

Oppo announces the Find X9 Ultra with a 50MP 10x optical zoom telephoto camera
Elbowing for attention alongside Vivo and Xiaomi, Oppo has finally launched its long-teased "ultra" version of its flagship smartphone. The Find X9 Ultra is another camera-first smartphone from Oppo, with an even more impressive spec sheet and a new array of accessories. We're not even halfway through 2026 and we've been spoiled with choices, whether it's the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra (with or without Leica livery) or Vivo's X300 Ultra.

The Find X9 Pro was already a powerful, capable camera phone. So, what's changed with the Ultra? We've had the base device for over a week, but we're waiting on the upgraded telephoto converter kit to land before we tackle a more in-depth review.

There are several design changes, starting with the two color options. Canyon Orange looks similar to Oppo's recent flagship phones, with a subtle etched finish meant to replicate the Grand Canyon. Meanwhile, Hasselblad fans might prefer the other option: a woodland-themed Tundra Umber, inspired by the camera maker's X2D. Oppo says this colorway channels "Scandinavian minimalism and the raw elegance of glaciers." Together at last.

Image by Mat Smith for Engadget Perhaps due to all the camera hardware, it's a big, thick phone with the camera unit protruding noticeably from the back. The camera array on the Ultra now has a subtle hexagonal design, apparently a nod to camera history — and that Hasselblad partnership. That area has a circular, metal frame, like many of Oppo's rivals. The edges of the camera unit are knurled, which hel
