The Stadia Controller finally works wirelessly with Android phones
[ad_1] It’s a welcome update, but it’s a feature that really should have been a part of Stadia from the jump.

Sony will release an ‘all-new’ A7S camera this summer
[ad_1] Sony hasn’t released a new A7S camera for nearly five years, leaving some video shooters and low-light photographers in the lurch. Don’t worry, though — a successor is nearly here.
