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.

Sony hasn't really done much with its PlayStation game franchises beyond its console. But it looks like the company has other plans. A new job listing from the company is looking for an executive to become the new Head of Mobile. The focus will be on bringing PlayStation's "most popular franchises" to mobile. Understandably, there are no mentions of titles or timeframes, but the person who gets the job will need to develop a three- to five-year strategy.
