Spotify revamps its Concert Hub into something that'll be more useful. It is now called Live Events Feed and offers information and tickets for live events in your location. It'll be sourcing listings from partners like Ticketmaster, AXS, DICE, Eventbrite, and See Tickets, among other companies.

Samsung might not release a Fan Edition version of the Galaxy S22

Source: Samsung

After just a couple of years, Samsung is reportedly no longer planning to release a Fan Edition version of its flagship smartphones. SamMobile cites unnamed "multiple sources" that it won't make a Fan Edition model of this year's Galaxy S22. The company might be finding it difficult to place the device within its portfolio. The S21 FE was released almost a full year after the S21, and it came out just a few weeks before the Galaxy S22 was unveiled. It proved difficult to get people to care about the S21 FE when the new S22 flagships were launched.

'No Man's Sky' is coming to the Nintendo Switch on October 7

No Man's Sky is finally ready to make the leap to the Nintendo Switch. The highly anticipated game will be coming to Nintendo's portable console on October 7. It will get all the features and upgrades that developer Hello Games introduced to other consoles. It's unclear how the game will perform on Nintendo's hardware, but the developer wanted to assure users it would run reasonably well. 

Digital and physical editions of the game will be available on the Switch on its launch day. On the same day, fans can buy a physical version for the PS5, followed by a Mac and iPad version later this year.

If you want a Wear OS 3 smartwatch that wasn't made by Samsung, then you're in luck. Luxury watchmaker Montblanc has unveiled its first Wear OS 3 watch, the Summit 3. Not only does it get Google's improved software, but it also gets a new-ish Wear 4100+ chip, which should improve performance and battery life. On top of that, you'll also be attracted to that upscale design.

You get a sleek, traditional timepiece look with a case made from titanium. There are both leather and rubber strap options. And some watch faces mimic Montblanc's mechanical models like the 1858 Geosphere. As for smartwatch features, it gets blood oxygen monitoring, sleep tracking, and Google Pay support. Montblanc makes the Summit 3 available worldwide on July 15 for US$1,290 (approx. CA$1,670).
