Logitech Harmony remotes get discontinued

Source: Logitech

After 20 years, Logitech has decided to discontinue its Harmony universal remotes. Those remotes already available through retailers will still be sold, but the company will no longer make new ones. Logitech also promises to support existing products while offering software updates where needed. Harmony remotes were used for different devices like home theatre systems, videos, and others that used infrared.

According to a blog post from the company: “We expect no impact to our customers by this announcement. We plan to support our Harmony community and new Harmony customers, which includes access to our software and apps to set up and manage your remotes. We also plan to continue to update the platform and add devices to our database. Customer and warranty support will continue to be offered.”

Samsung Galaxy S21 FE rumoured renders leaked

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch a Fan Edition variant of the Galaxy S21. Renders of the rumoured device were shared online by leakster Steve H (a.k.a. OnLeaks). The Galaxy S21 Looks like it has the same camera bump style as the flagship models, but its colour now matches the rear panel instead of coming in a complementary accent. Similar to what Samsung did with its midrange Galaxy A series.

According to OnLeaks, the phone will measure 155.7 x 74.5 x 7.9mm, and 9.3mm at the camera bump, meaning it'll be slightly bigger than the vanilla Galaxy S21. It will have a metal frame, but that will be paired with a "frosted glasstic" back. Glasstic is Samsung's term for plastic panels that are made to look like glass. The Galaxy S21 FE will reportedly have a 6.4-inch flat panel and a triple camera setup, too. But expect it to have lower resolution cameras than the Galaxy S21 series.

The OnePlus Nord LE will be owned by only one person

The OnePlus Nord gets an exclusive variant. It's so exclusive that it'll only go to one person. And that person won't be able to buy it. The brand is giving away the OnePlus Nord LE on Instagram. The LE stands for "Literally Only One Edition." It comes in "a gradient that smoothly transitions from orange to green." And unlike the regular OnePlus Nord's glossy finish, it has a smooth one.

Aside from having a different colourway, it features the same specs as the OnePlus Nord. It runs on a Snapdragon 765G processor and comes with a 90Hz AMOLED display, 4,115mAh battery with 30W charging, and a 48-megapixel quad camera setup.

'Hitman 3' gets Elusive Targets feature

IO Interactive has finally brought its Elusive Targets feature to Hitman 3. The title's first high-stakes target will be The Collector, and it will be available until April 19. Elusive Targets entail that you only get one chance to assassinate the target. In this case, the obsessive, murderous art curator. If you botch this mission, you lose it forever. Make sure you're plenty ready to take on this mission.

The second target, The Politician, will be available from April 23 to May 3. Her location (Hawke's Bay) is part of Hitman 3's Free Starter Pack, so you have the option to play this mission without investing in the entire game. The developer has promised tweaks to the Elusive Target formula based on feedback, but its core premise and time gating remain the same.
