Roku removes YouTube TV from its app catalog amidst contract disagreements

As Roku reached the end of its contract with Google to host the YouTube TV app on its channel store, Roku sent all its customers an email notifying them that they may lose the ability to use the YouTube TV channel on Roku devices. In this messages to consumers, it pointed at Google and accused it of “unfair and anticompetitive requirements” that are, according to Roku, designed to allow the collection of user data and to “manipulate” search results.

See if the Huawei Mate X2 survives a durability test

Foldable smartphones are generally considered to be more fragile than 'normal' ones, unlike gaming phones for example - then again it turns out that among the latest batch of the latter, two out of three do snap in two or three parts when bent. So you may be thinking that foldables should fare even worse in such testing, but is that actually true? Let's find out. Zack from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel is back at it again, and this time the device being 'durability tested' is Huawei's latest and greatest, the Mate X2. Will it scratch? Burn? Bend? Take a look below. In case...

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is finally reaching Europe on May 11

Xiaomi went all-in with the Mi 11 Ultra this year, producing what is its first proper mainstream flagship smartphone ever to be released internationally (as last year's Mi 10 Ultra was a China-only affair). The company unveiled the Mi 11 Ultra's European eye watering €1,199 pricing at an event in late March, but it stayed mum on a release date for the continent.

This is at least true for the Dutch market, and even if the other...

Apple found in breach of EU competition law over unfair App Store tax policy

Earlier today, the European Commission issued a preliminary view that Apple holds an unfair advantage in the music streaming space over competitors like Spotify. The basis of the finding lies in Apple’s own in-app purchase mechanism which sees Cupertino imposing a 30% tax on competitor’s earning through the App Store. The potential implications for Apple include a fine of 10% of its annual revenue which could add up to €22.3 billion ($27 billion) if the decision is ratified. Our preliminary conclusion: @Apple is in breach of EU competition law. @AppleMusic compete with other music...

Samsung is being sued over the Galaxy S20 series' camera glass issues

The firm in question is Hagens Berman and claims that the Korean tech giant has misled the consumers. The glass for the camera module is low-quality and doesn't reflect the price of the...

Xiaomi working on a Memory extension feature for MIUI

Memory allocation has been all the craze lately. Take the vivo X60 Pro+, for example. It gives you the option to extend the memory by allocating storage so you gain extra 3GB of RAM.

Realme launched without much fanfare its latest audio wearable - the Buds Q2. The true wireless earphones retain the design as the first Buds Q but come with improved game mode, IPX4 water resistance, fancy design and a so-called Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) feature.

The Realme Buds Q2 kept some of the impressive features its predecessor had - 20-hour total battery life with 10 minute charging enough to add 2 hours of playback.
