Google's Recorder app is now available on Pixel 3a, 3, 2

Google is finally rolling out its Recorder app to older Pixel devices. The only phone missing out is the original Pixel. But the other three—the Pixel 3, 3a, and 2—are all getting the app. The biggest selling point of a pretty straightforward app is that it can transcribe recorded audio. Google hasn't indicated if it will bring the app to other Android devices, but we are keeping our eyes peeled for it.

Qualcomm's new flagship Snapdragon 865 will bring enhancements that PUBG Mobile gamers will love. Well, if they get a phone that's equipped with the new processor. Qualcomm announced during the second day of its Tech Summit that the game would get 90fps support, which will work on smartphones that support the high refresh rate. On top of this, PUBG Mobile will support true 10-bit HDR, which could drastically improve the game's visuals.

Sony updates six TVs to add AirPlay 2, HomeKit, Dolby Atmos support

Sony finally brings the long-promised support for AirPlay 2, HomeKit, and Dolby Atmos to six of its 2019 and 2018 lineup. As expected, the update is coming to some of its premium models. These include the 2019 A9G, Z9G, X950G, and the X850G, as well as the 2018 A9F and Z9F. The update wasn't expected to come to the 2018 units, so it's a pleasant addition. 

AirPlay 2 gives Apple device owners the ability to stream content directly to their TVs, while the addition of HomeKit will allow you to turn TVs on or off from their Apple gadgets. For some devices, it even allows you to change inputs and access settings. As for Dolby Atmos, the audio format lets the TV beam audio at the ceiling and bounce these back down to give users some form of surround sound.
