Last month, Nokia announced their first Android tablet dubbed Nokia N1, while also giving it a release window of “Q1 2015”. The device will initially launch in China, with more markets to follow at a later time. Earlier today, the Chinese media let the cat out of the bag and revealed that Nokia will host a special press event on January 7th. Seeing as how the Finnish company already gave us most of the details concerning the tablet last month, it’s pretty safe to assume that the said event will serve a different purpose. As such, the January 7th event is expected to be a launch pad for the Nokia N1, which is likely to become available for purchase the very same day.

Judging by all the details provided by Nokia, the N1 will be a pretty powerful Android tablet that comes with the additional benefit of being surprisingly cheap for what it offers. According to the announced list of specifications, the Nokia N1 will be 6.9 mm thick and sport a 7.9-inch display with 1,536 x 2,048 resolution. The device will also come equipped with an Intel Atom Z3580 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage memory. Other specs include a large 5,300 mAh battery, an 8 MP primary camera on the back, and a 5MP front-facing secondary snapper.

The Nokia N1 will be powered by the Android Lollipop operating system, although the exact version hasn’t been revealed yet. What we do know however is that the operating system will feature Nokia’s own Z Launcher. As for the price, the company said that the Nokia N1 will end up costing the equivalent of about $249 in China. Pricing for other markets has been been announced yet, but it should be more or less similar to what customers in China will pay for it.

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.

Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.

Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?

PC Mounts Show PlayStation Trophy Support

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.

TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.

TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.

TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

No worries, PS5 Slim SSD upgrades are possible

Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.

But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.

Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.
