OPPO Reno 14 series could feature OnePlus-inspired design: What to expect
Chinese smartphone maker OPPO is reportedly gearing up to launch its Reno 14 series in its home country soon. The next-generation Reno smartphones have reportedly surfaced on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, offering a first look at one of the upcoming devices. The Reno 14 series is expected to feature a slim and lightweight design with a flat metal frame. While OPPO has yet to confirm official launch details, the Reno 14 series is likely to debut in the Indian market after its initial launch in China. OPPO Reno 14: What to expect According to a report by Gadgets 360, images of the OPPO Reno 14 have appeared on Weibo, revealing the back and side profile of the smartphone. The images show a rectangular camera module with vertically aligned lenses on the left. The third sensor is housed in a pill-shaped cutout next to the main two lenses — a layout that closely resembles the recently launched OnePlus 13T. The images also indicate a flat-style metal frame and a back panel that appears to feature a matte or frosted glass finish. The OPPO Reno 14 and Reno 14 Pro are expected to sport 6.58-inch and 6.83-inch flat OLED displays, respectively, both of 1.5K resolution. The smartphones are likely to be powered by batteries of at least 6,000 mAh capacity. Additionally, OPPO is expected to replace the alert slider with a new button, similar to the one seen on the OPPO X8 Ultra. Called the 'Qube key', this button would support customisable actions, similar to action key on the OnePlus 13T.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered rockets to top of Steam sales
American company Bethesda's upgraded version of 'The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered', a 20-year-old video game, has become one of the most played on Steam (digital distribution platform for PC games) after being released on Tuesday. It has climbed to the top of the platform's sales chart, according to a report by Gadgets360. According to the reviews on Steam, 82 per cent of the 19,291 reviews are positive. Online player reactions are largely positive, with fans applauding the remaster for staying true to the original game. Strong start Gadgets360, while citing data from SteamDB, reported that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered hit a peak of 190,119 concurrent players within just a day of its release on April 22. It quickly climbed the ranks to become one of the most-played titles on Steam, trailing major games like Counter-Strike 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Dota 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Apex Legends. The numbers are notable given that the remaster also launched on Game Pass (Xbox Game Pass subscription service) the same day, meaning many players are accessing it through Microsoft's subscription service at no extra cost. With the game also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the total player base is likely far larger. Bethesda might share more comprehensive figures soon. The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion: What's new The remastered edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion brings a full visual and technical overhaul, rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5. The Verge reported that the game includes the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions and showcases significantly enhanced graphics, lighting, and environmental detail through complete asset recreation. The remaster introduces improved lip-syncing, upgraded audio, and modernised UI elements. Updates also affect encumbrance, passive skills, and other non-combat mechanics to better match current-gen expectations. Other refinements include a redesigned third-person view, a new sprinting mechanic, and polished animations across the board.

Instagram launches new ‘Blend' feature for shared Reels feed with your besties
Instagram is making it even easier to share your scrolling habits with your bestie. The platform has officially rolled out a new invite-only feature called Blend, which creates a private, personalised Reels feed shared between two users within their DMs. Announced on Thursday after more than a year of internal testing, Blend allows users to invite a friend to create a collaborative feed. The Reels shown are curated by Instagram's algorithm based on both people's activity and interests. 'Blend is a customised Reels feed made just for you and a friend,' Instagram said, highlighting its exclusivity and focus on shared discovery. Once the invitation is accepted, the shared feed appears in a chat-like thread where both users can view tailored Reels, react with emojis, and send messages. A Blend icon is now visible at the top-right corner of the DM thread, next to the call buttons, marking the entrance to this new co-watching experience. The feature first surfaced in beta in March 2024 and is now available worldwide on both iOS and Android. According to early testers at Gadgets 360, accepting an invite is simple: a request pops up in your DMs and one tap lets you join. Users can leave the Blend at any time. While Blend currently supports Reels only, it is unclear whether Instagram plans to expand it to include Stories, photos, or other content types. With this launch, Instagram continues to emphasise social, short-form video experiences, while also working on a standalone Reels app and expanded tools for creators.
