Deal: Take $100 off the Samsung Smart Monitor M7, which can replace your TV
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority If you're looking for a monitor, you'll quickly realize the market is flooded with options. How do you find the right one? I am a big fan of options like the Samsung 43-inch Smart Monitor M7 (M70F). It's large, capable, and even doubles as a TV! More importantly, it is also at a pretty nice price, thanks to today's $100 discount. Buy the Samsung 43-inch Smart Monitor M7 M70F for just $399.99 ($100 off) This offer is available from Amazon as a 'limited time deal.' We're specifically referring to the 43-inch model from 2025. There is also a 32-inch version, as well as older models. A few things make the Samsung 43-inch Smart Monitor M7 (M70F) special. For starters, it is really nice as a monitor. It is huge at 43 inches, and it has a 4K resolution, which means the image will be super sharp. The larger size makes it a great multitasking tool, as you'll be able to easily display multiple windows and apps. It has a 60Hz refresh rate, which isn't necessarily impressive, but is pretty nice. The monitor part of this screen is only half the equation, though. This isn't your typical PC screen. It essentially doubles as a TV, as it is a smart monitor. It is powered by Samsung's Tizen smart TV OS. This means you get access to all your favorite streaming apps, as well as live TV through Samsung TV Plus. I see this is a really nice addition to a room, dorm, office, or any place where having some TV functionality might come in handy. It's kind of a dream screen for chord cutters. Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority This monitor is also teeming with extra features. It uses AI to make searching more seamless, optimize the image, and more. It also connects to SmartThings, making it easy to control your smart home through the monitor. It even supports Knox Security. If you feel like gaming, you can also use the Samsung Gaming Hub to run games in the cloud. This monitor also has two HDMI ports, and the screen supports Multi View. This means you could run two PCs on one screen. Of course, you're not limited to computers. You can also run a console, Blu-ray player, a smart TV dongle, and more. I love things that can do more than one job. If I were in the market for a monitor, it would be this one. If you're getting one, make sure to sign up for it before the deal goes away! Follow

Nintendo Switch 2 vs 1: What are the differences?
You can watch a trailer, stream Mario Kart World gameplay footage, or scroll through endless Reddit threads, but nothing beats actually holding the thing in your hands. At Nintendo's first Switch 2 Experience Day at the ExCeL in London, it was immediately clear: the Nintendo Switch 2 is a serious step up from the original. The new console supports 4K resolution when docked, 1080p in handheld mode and up to 120fps in either – a significant leap from the original Switch's 1080p docked, 720p handheld and 60fps cap. The HDR (high dynamic range) is now supported in both modes, too, bringing deeper contrast and richer colours. While playing a demo of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Switch 2 Edition (£64.99, the difference was striking. Not only did the visuals look sharper, but the boosted frame rate made movement feel much smoother and more responsive. The HDR (high dynamic range) is seen in both docked and handheld modes on the Switch 2 and offers a much-improved contrast. While playing a demo of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Switch 2 Edition, the difference between it and the original release was almost night and day. The game ran much smoother on the Switch 2, thanks to the boosted frame rate and resolution. Even in areas dense with textures, the new console didn't miss a beat. Among the Switch 2 exclusives, Donkey Kong Bananza (£64.99, looked simply stunning, while the frame rate in Mario Kart World remained stable throughout, despite all the chaotic action unfolding on screen. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond also stood out in this department. The Switch 2 features a larger 7.9in screen, up from the original Switch's 6.2in, and as a result, the connecting Joy-Cons are naturally bigger too. The larger Joy-Cons make the console feel less fiddly and more comfortable to hold, with quality-of-life improvements such as slightly bigger shoulder buttons making a tangible difference to gameplay. The Joy-Cons now connect magnetically instead of using a rail system, though they still detach in a similar way. You just press a button to safely release them. One of the biggest new features is that both Joy-Cons can now function like a mouse. It's the kind of thing that could feel gimmicky, but in practice, it absolutely doesn't. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, for example, can be played with the Joy-Cons as normal or with one acting in the way a PC mouse would. Yes, it's nothing new in the PC sphere at all, but to be able to switch between the two on the fly depending on what the situation is or just to change things up was a blast. Drag x Drive was a great surprise, too. It takes a little getting used to, but it quickly turns into a really fun wheelchair basketball version of Rocket League. Super Mario Party Jamboree – Switch 2 Edition also makes good use of the mouse controls, with more minigames that are incredibly fun and offer something fresh compared to the regular version – and that's key. GameChat is another huge addition, and it's why a new 'C' button has been added to the right Joy-Con. This pulls up a chat menu, allowing players to talk to friends and family while playing. A camera can also be attached, letting you appear on screen and video chat mid-game or during matches, so real-time reactions can be seen by everyone. You'll also be able to view what other people in your lobby are playing, even if it's a different game. These features are free to use during an open access period, but after 31 March 2026, a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion subscription will be required. Audio has been improved too, with better speakers, support for 3D audio and generally clearer sound across the board. There's also a built-in microphone now, making voice chat much more accessible. The stand has been redesigned as well – it now runs almost the full length of the console and feels far sturdier, making it easier to use at different angles. A second USB-C port has been added to the top of the device, making it more convenient to charge or connect a camera. There's also been a big bump in internal storage, with the Switch 2 offering 256GB – a significant upgrade from the original model's 32GB.

Sony's Xperia 1 VII is coming, but its global release could face delays
Sony Xperia 1 VII is right around the corner — but only for certain markets. A new leak tells us that enthusiasts of Sony's best smartphones may be forced to wait longer than expected. While the phone will launch in Japan shortly, the global market has a pretty long wait ahead, and the fate of the phone in the U.S. still remains uncertain. Notebookcheck cites Sumaho Digest as it claims that the Sony Xperia 1 VII will launch in Japan next week, with a release date on May 15. However, other markets will have to wait until the third quarter of 2025, with a tentative release date in July. The publication expects wide availability across Europe — but what about the U.S. market? Recommended Videos Well, things aren't quite as hopeful where that's concerned. It's uncertain whether the Xperia 1 VII will hit the U.S. market at all, but there are signs pointing to it being possible. The Sony flagship was spotted on the FCC's website a few weeks ago, indicating that at least one of the upcoming Xperia phones could be coming to the United States. The Xperia 1 VII is said to be similar to the VI in terms of design and dimensions. However, it's supposed to offer 4K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate and the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, providing performance upgrades. The camera is also said to be getting a boost, now offering a telephoto camera with 70-200mm focal length, says Phone Arena. The previous flagship, the Sony Xperia 1 VI, was never launched in the U.S., much to the dismay of many fans. Sony made its decision official, telling The Verge that the phone would be available across Europe and in the UK, but that would be it. Would Sony make a comeback to the U.S. now? Despite the FCC filing, it's definitely not a sure thing. We'll have to wait and see how it pans out. Please enable Javascript to view this content
