Samsung a depășit Apple, ocupând primul loc în clasamentul satisfacției clienților în ceea ce privește telefoanele mobile, potrivit studiului „Telecommunications, Cell Phone, and Smartwatch Study 2026” realizat de American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) și publicat săptămâna aceasta.

Integrarea AI, măsurată de ACSI pentru prima dată, înregistrează un scor general de 85, semnalând că clienții nu numai că sunt conștienți de funcțiile AI, ci le consideră utile, în timp ce îmbunătățirile privind durata de viață a bateriei au crescut cu 5%, ajungând la 81.

Usually, the preparations for the Championship play-off final are set in stone. A four-side, end-of-season mini tournament ends at Wembley with two teams vying for a spot in the Premier League. But this is no normal play-off campaign. Southampton's expulsion for spying on Middlesbrough in the build-up to their semi-final earlier this month - in addition to games against Oxford and Ipswich earlier this season - has created chaos. As things stand, the final is set to take place as planned - albeit with amended kick-off times based on who will actually contest the fixture. Hull are already through, having beaten Millwall over two legs, yet Southampton's appeal on Wednesday means it is not yet settled who will face who at Wembley. And that fixture - potentially worth hundreds of millions pounds to the victor - is set to take place in just three days' time. BBC Radio Tees' Middlesbrough commentator Mark Drury summed it up succinctly: "It's not the build-up anybody would want for a game of this magnitude.

Mohamed Salah is set to captain Egypt at the World Cup this summer after being named in their preliminary 27-man squad. The 33-year-old forward, who will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years, has scored 67 goals in 115 appearances for Egypt. He is joined by Manchester City winger Omar Marmoush and uncapped 18-year-old Hamza Abdelkarim, who plays for Barcelona Under-19s. Nantes forward Mostafa Mohamed has been left out, and head coach Hossam Hassan will drop one player after a friendly against Russia in Cairo on 28 May to reduce the squad to the Fifa-mandated 26 players. Egypt will play Brazil in a friendly in Cleveland on 6 June. Drawn in Group G at the World Cup, Egypt face Belgium on 15 June, New Zealand on 22 June and Iran on 27 June. The expanded 48-team competition in the US, Canada and Mexico runs from 11 June to 19 July. Link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cpwpnjkjl94o

"If you could guarantee going up through the play-offs you'd take it every day," Neil Warnock says - and he should know. The man whose eight promotions is the most in English football also has the most via the play-offs. Warnock guided Notts County (twice), Huddersfield Town and Plymouth Argyle to promotion in play-off finals at Wembley in the 1990s - a number that has never been matched by any other manager. "It's such a great day out at Wembley," the 77-year-old tells BBC Sport as he looks back on his career in the high-stakes environment of the English Football League's (EFL) post-season. "The memories of driving home after that, you have open-top bus rides and on the town hall steps, you name it, I think I've been everywhere," adds Warnock - who managed the last of his 1,629 games earlier this season after a three-game spell in caretaker charge at Torquay United - with a smile.

Aston Villa's Europa League win against Freiburg ended their 44-year wait for a European trophy - and kept alive the Premier League's hopes of a sixth Champions League spot next season. Unai Emery's men had already confirmed their place in next season's elite European competition with a top-five finish, but now Bournemouth and Brighton will know sixth place could earn a place alongside them. If the Villans finish fifth in the Premier League, Unai Emery's side will qualify for the Champions League as the Europa League winners. The extra Champions League place that the Premier League earned through the European Performance Spot would then go to the team finishing sixth. Villa would finish fifth in they lost at Manchester City and Liverpool also won at home to Brentford. Should that happen, the Champions League qualification focus then turns to sixth spot. If Bournemouth avoid defeat at Nottingham Forest, or Brighton fail to win at home to Manchester United, the Cherries would finish sixth. Should Bournemouth lose and Brighton win, it would then be the Seagulls who claimed sixth spot. Link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c8r8mvl8rkro

The Football Association is investigating Southampton's conduct after the club admitted to spying on three other Championship sides during the past season. Southampton have been expelled from the Championship play-offs after admitting observing opponents' training sessions within 72 hours of a game, with Middlesbrough reinstated to contest Saturday's final against Hull City Saints have also been deducted four points in the Championship next season. Southampton's appeal against the punishment on the grounds that it was "disproportionate" was dismissed on Wednesday evening. A spokesperson for the FA, which governs football in England, said it "won't comment further until we have assessed the evidence". The FA will look into who participated in the spying, assessing the culpability of those who encouraged it or knew it was happening. The English Football League, which brought the charges against Southampton, can only take action against its member clubs. With the FA now looking into the matter the individuals involved could face charges, and potential bans. At the 2024 Olympics, Canada's women's team were found guilty of spying on New Zealand. World governing body Fifa banned three members of staff - including the head coach Bev Priestman - from football for a year. Link: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/crmplprldl8o

Alongside the Auction House and Showroom, Forza Horizon 6's newest car purchasing feature has quickly become a big hit with players already. Despite an unfortunate leak just days before the launch of Forza Horizon 6, there's been plenty of excitement and anticipation from fans as the franchise takes players to Japan. Alongside many familiar features, Forza Horizon 6 also added a number of new things to check out. During the Early Access period for Premium Edition owners of Forza Horizon 6, players have already started putting the game through its paces as they discover just what Playground's version of Japan has to offer. As expected, there's a massive list of cars available in game with numerous ways to unlock them, from loyalty rewards in Forza Horizon 6, premium DLC options, to in-game methods like the Showroom, Barn Finds, and other unlockables. Needless to say, there are plenty of ways for players to grow their garage, though Early Access players have seemingly highlighted one new feature in particular for those who may not be big fans of the Auction House.

A new fantasy puzzle game called Steampunks Vs Skeletons is free on the Epic Games Store, but there is a catch: the promotion only lasts until 10,000 people download it. Most free-to-keep giveaways on the Epic Games Store are scheduled by the storefront itself, but some policy changes have allowed independent developers, like the creator of Steampunks Vs Skeletons, to run similar promotions on their own.As far as the official giveaways on the Epic Games Store go, players can currently claim Sunderfolk and The Telltale Batman Shadows Edition completely free of charge until May 21. Once this offer ends, the storefront will reveal two new mystery games, which many expect to be notable titles.

Grand Theft Auto fans hungry for more information on GTA 6 can safely circle May 21 on their calendars, as they are guaranteed to get some kind of update on the game, no matter how small it may be. Grand Theft Auto 6 news has been hard to come by since Rockstar Games first announced it years ago, with only two trailers released for the highly-anticipated open world crime game to date. Besides releasing two trailers, Rockstar Games has also released a collection of GTA 6 screenshots along with descriptions for various characters in the game. Otherwise, there hasn't been much said about GTA 6 in an official capacity, and many fans have become anxious for more news on the game. All kinds of predicted days for GTA 6 Trailer 3 to drop have come and gone with nothing from Rockstar Games, and while it's impossible to say at this point if the next trailer will drop on May 21, we do know that there will be something said about the game.

Quantic Dream has recently announced that its most recent game, Spellcasters Chronicles, is officially being canceled alongside expected layoffs. With games like Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, and Beyond: Two Souls, Spellcasters Chronicles was a big departure from the usual Quantic Dream formula. Over the years, Quantic Dream has built a reputation as a studio that brings some of the most interesting choice-based games to life. The studio has focused on narrative-driven experiences, so it was surprising when it was revealed last year that the developer's newest release would be a free-to-play live service game called Spellcaster Chronicles. This team-based strategy title was very different from past Quantic Dream games, and it has struggled to attract a large player base since its early access release back in February. Unfortunately, this has led to the game's cancellation and layoffs. Link: https://gamerant.com/quantic-dream-layoffs-2026/

After a lot of debate and speculation, Embark Studios finally clarifies how the matchmaking system in ARC Raiders works, what it can't do, and details some recent changes to it. While matchmaking has been a topic that Embark has largely avoided going into detail about, things appear to be changing as not only is ARC Raiders moving off of its monthly content drops, but the studio is now ready to set the record straight regarding matchmaking. Following the game's launch, fans attempted to figure out how lobbies were brought together and whether it could be influenced by playing a certain way. While Embark refused to give out any sort of details about how it connects players, hints and teases by the developers have confirmed that the game does analyze player behavior. It's been widely believed, with members of the development team like CEO Patrick Söderlund seemingly confirming, that ARC Raiders relies on an aggression-based matchmaking system to pair similar players. Essentially, more aggressive PvP players would then find themselves in lobbies more geared towards that, while PvE-centric ones would be paired elsewhere. However, with things constantly changing and tweaks being made, Embark is finally ready to give players the details. Link: https://gamerant.com/arc-raiders-matchmaking-system/
