Gameloft confirms a list of upcoming games for Sony Tablets

Mobile game maker Gameloft is behind some of the most wildly popular apps that aren’t called Angry Birds. The studio has built a business around delivering a console-like experience on the smallest of screens (plus tablets), with titles like Gangstar and Order & Chaos very clearly aping Grand Theft Auto and World of Warcraft (admittedly not a console game), respectively. So it should be no surprise to hear that work is underway on porting several of the company’s hits to Sony‘s two Android tablets.

The Sony Tablet S arrived earlier this month while the dual screen Sony Tablet P is still coming soon, but both will soon be home to Gameloft’s HD offering of titles. The list includes some of the more well-received recent games from the studio, including Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD, N.O.V.A. 2: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance HD, Real Soccer 2011 HD, Spider-Man: Total Mayhem HD and Green Farm HD. The games will all be available before the end of the year, if they’re not up already (Sony Tablet S owners?).

It’ll be interesting to see if Gameloft does anything specific to the P tablet, since its dual-screen setup offers some unique presentation possibilities that you don’t see on other devices of this type. Perhaps not Sony Tablet-exclusive games, but even ports from other platforms that might not otherwise be a good fit for a single-screen device.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, the “king of tablets” (in 2022), is $450 off

A teenager uses his Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra on the sidewalk.

If you’re looking for great Samsung tablet deals, aim for the top and get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra while it’s $450 off right now at Best Buy. One of the best tablet deals around, it normally costs $1,100 but today, you can buy it for $650, which is a considerable discount on a tablet we once referred to as the “king of tablets.” The deal lasts until September 15, so you have a little time to decide -- but you certainly won’t be disappointed. Here’s what to know about it.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
Back in 2022, we described the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as a tablet “unlike any other.” It has a huge 14.6-inch screen -- bigger than some laptops offer. The sAMOLED screen has a vast resolution of 2960 x 1848 and a 120Hz refresh rate. Like the rest of the tablet, it’s built with power users in mind. Such a big size means it’s not really designed for portability, but it does focus on how it can help you work from home better. It comes with an S Pen stylus for sketching out ideas or writing notes, for instance, with power which continues to rival some of the best 2-in-1 laptops.

Samsung’s next tablet may have a big edge over the iPad Pro

Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve come across a few purported product renders of the next flagship Samsung tablet, along with some details of its key specs. Now, leaker Evan Blass has shared an alleged render of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra that reveals one stunning detail.

Alongside the bottom edge of the tablet, we get not one, but two USB Type-C ports. This isn't the first time we have seen this feature, but it is a fresh approach for Samsung tablets. The rest of the design — including its slim metallic shell, dual cameras, thin bezels, and notch — is carried over from its predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

The Onyx Boox Go is one of the coolest tablets I’ve ever used

I recently came across a research paper published in the Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience journal. It mentioned the benefits of writing on paper compared to digital screens, like tablets, and how it can help you better remember critical information.

In simpler terms, writing on paper is associated with higher brain order functions as it creates a more intimate memory that can also be easily recalled. “The unique, complex, spatial and tactile information associated with writing by hand on physical paper is likely what leads to improved memory,” the researchers explained.
