    The HONOR 400 arrives as the latest challenger in the ever-busy midrange smartphone market, promising flagship-level performance, AI-driven features and a high-end display — all without coming anywhere close to the €1000+ price bracket of its flagship-level counterparts. After using the device for a few weeks, I’ve come away largely impressed. It’s not flawless, but for its price, it offers serious value and more than a few standout features.

    Id Software, the long-respected masters of the first-person shooter, have dived back into their most famous series and pulled out something that’s both familiar and excitingly new. DOOM: The Dark Ages, the newest part of the Slayer’s endless war, hits Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC as a brave new take, not just another sequel. Thirty-two years after the original game that started it all, id shows they still get what makes DOOM special, even as they change things up.
