Samsung has expanded its smartphone lineup with three new Galaxy Z foldables, including one model with a wider-than-usual display. After suspending orders for a high-priced handheld gaming PC earlier this year due to unsustainable pricing (thank RAMageddon), the AYANEO NEXT 2 is available for purchase again… with prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,200. But if you’re wondering what to do with a handheld gaming PC, now there’s a new option: play some Xbox games from 20+ years ago thanks to Microsoft’s new Xbox Backward Compatibility for PC initiative.
Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
Samsung widens is Galaxy Z Fold lineup with the new Z Fold8 featuring a 5.5 inch, 16:10 cover screen and 7.6 inch 4:3 primary display. It joins the Fold8 Ultra with taller screens, and the Flip8. www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/gal…

Look at Microsoft pretending again they are innovating with that new Xbox game compatibility when the emu scene have been allowing people to play clonedvd ripped discs to ISO files, for years. And like they’ve done with many of their products such as the browser they probably even stole the code of one of the open source emulators for this and calling it their own.
Ayaneo might as well give up… no one in their right mind is going to pay that kind of cash for this thing.
I have a theory that the handheld business is a scam targeted at would-be influencers. The ones who can’t get free stuff and sponsorships. They think “I need viewers to get sponsorships, I need this new gadget to get viewers”. They buy the latest greatest AYANEO but nobody watches their videos, and they’re left holding the $5000 bag.
