This magnetic car mount is everything I want from Qi2

Apr 4, 2024 | androidcentral.com | Nick Sutrich

When Qi2 was announced, I knew that wireless chargers were about to be fixed forever. The annoyance of trying to find the charging sweet spot would be solved, and faster 15W+ charging speeds would be enough to get me to use it more regularly. While we're still waiting for Android phones to actually employ Qi2, there are plenty of ways to get the brilliance of Qi2 without having to buy a nonexistent phone.
The PS5 Pro could finally solve the PSVR 2 frame rate problem

Apr 4, 2024 | androidcentral.com | Nick Sutrich

The first time you play Horizon Call of the Mountain, you'll be blown away by the visuals. This year-old PSVR 2 launch title still boasts some of the best visuals on the system, but those visuals quickly get a downgrade the moment you start moving. That's because, like so many PSVR 2 games, Horizon Call of the Mountain actually runs at just 60 frames per second instead of 90 or 120fps.
Meta just employed its latest tactic to keep little kids off VR

Apr 3, 2024 | androidcentral.com | Nick Sutrich

What you need to knowAll Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 users must re-verify their age while playing VR. A one-time prompt will automatically appear on your headset when your account is ready for verification. Meta says this step provides access to age-appropriate tools, content, and protections. Users who don't follow these steps within 30 days of receiving the prompt cannot use their headsets until they do so.

Moto G Power 5G 2024 vs. Moto G 5G 2024: A little leather goes a long way

Apr 2, 2024 | androidcentral.com | Nick Sutrich

The Moto G 5G 2024 is a surprisingly great phone despite its low price tag. At $200, you'd be hard pressed to find anything that looks this good, and Motorola's software features make it feel a step above many other phones in this price category. The performance and cameras aren't going to impress you, but every day usage is just fine so long as you're not doing a lot of multitasking.
8 things the Pixel 8a can learn from the Nothing Phone 2a

Apr 2, 2024 | androidcentral.com | Nick Sutrich

For years, Google's Pixel A-series has offered an incredible value that's offered unmatchable camera quality, offered more updates than other phones in its class, and often outperformed everything at the sub-$500 price range because of its Google Tensor processor. But then the Nothing Phone 2a came around.
The Oculus Quest 1 is about to be sent out to pasture

Newly published apps and games will not show up on the original Oculus Quest store after April. Meta will only provide security updates through the end of August 2024. The company originally set January 1 as the date when it would stop allowing new games on the Oculus Quest.
The Meta Quest 3 is more powerful than we originally thought

Mar 28, 2024 | androidcentral.com | Nick Sutrich

What you need to knowMeta revealed that the Quest 3's GPU is on par with a GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 290, the minimum spec card for an Oculus Rift headset. That makes the Quest 3 powerful enough to run complex modern games at reasonable framerates. The Quest 3 is also capable of running games at 120 FPS when developers enable it. GDC 2024 is firmly in the rearview mirror now, but we're still getting new announcements and updates that we didn't get to hear at the show.
