Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console.

Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!

WhatsApp is developing a new optional premium subscription plan for the standard consumer app that will offer users extra features in exchange for a monthly fee. This plan is called "WhatsApp Plus", it is under development for Android and iOS, and it's not yet publicly released.

WhatsApp Plus will offer several customization options to change the app theme, app icon, and accent colors. These include a selection of 14 new icons and multiple color choices for interface elements. This addition will give users more control over the look of the app.

A premium feature to pin up to 20 chats instead of the standard limit of three will be included in the plan. So users will be able to add 17 more pinned chats beyond the current limit of 3. This expansion will give users more flexibility to keep their most important conversations easily accessible.

A set of exclusive ringtones will be offered only to subscribers. Each ringtone has its own distinctive style. This will make it simpler for users to personalize their calling notifications based on their moods. New ringtones available exclusively for WhatsApp will help users distinguish their call notifications from those of other apps more easily.

Note that WhatsApp Plus is completely optional. This means that users are not required to subscribe in order to continue using WhatsApp. Again, all of the app's essential tools (including sending and receiving messages, making voice and video calls, sharing media, participating in group chats, privacy and security features) will remain fully accessible to everyone at no cost. The introduction of the paid tier is designed to offer additional customization and convenience features for users who want them, without restricting or limiting the free experience.

WhatsApp has not yet confirmed pricing or an official launch date for this plan, and features may be adjusted before they are widely released.

Another great wbsite ruined by AI

RTINGS.com has historically relied heavily on organic search traffic from Google and affiliate links. That model is becoming less reliable. Fewer people click through from Google organic results than they used to. At the same time, AI actively scrapes and reuses our test results, often without attribution and without the context needed to interpret them correctly.

Meanwhile, performing lab-based and in-depth testing is expensive. We buy every product ourselves, like normal consumers (no paid or sponsored reviews), test them using standardized, repeatable methods, and publish the full results transparently.

A membership-supported model reduces our dependence on Google, limits unrestricted AI scraping of our test results, and gives us incentives that are more sustainable and aligned with consumers.

TLDR: Reviews now locked behind subscription

The Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset is paired with a 4,613mm² vapor chamber and an extra-large sheet of graphite (13,743mm²).

The Realme P4 Power has a next generation Silicon-Carbon battery. It promises to retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 8 years of use – it’s rated for 1,650 charge cycles.

Realme managed to pack the impressive battery inside a 9.08mm thick chassis. The whole phone weighs 219.

On the back is a 50MP main camera (Sony IMX882 sensor) with an f/1.8 lens with OIS. It can record 4K video at 30fps and offers a Night Portrait Bokeh mode. There’s also an 8MP ultra-wide camera (112°) and a 16MP selfie camera (85°).
