Dive Into the World of Gaming this Holiday Season
Holiday Gaming Gifts

(Family Features) During the holiday season, few things bring the same enjoyment as finding the perfect gift and watching in excitement as your loved one opens it up.

If you’re still searching for the right gift and you’ve got gamers, someone curious to try gaming, or a loved one who needs a relaxing hobby on your nice list, Xbox can provide an outlet to unwind and connect with friends, regardless of where they love to play. It is all about making gaming easy to access and available for everyone – whether you love to jump on a console, PC or smart TV, it’s easy to play anywhere.

To help keep the playing experience fun and safe, the Xbox Family Settings app for Android or IOS allows you to easily tailor the online gaming experience from anywhere, including managing screen time, filtering content, setting purchasing and communication controls, and receiving weekly activity reports. These customizable settings help parents ensure the right balance of gaming with time for school, homework, sports and time with friends.

Find the full holiday guide featuring devices, games, subscriptions and more at Xbox.com.

SmartMobileGearUnfolding Tomorrow: The Story of the Z TriFold​The Samsung Z TriFold genuinely feels like something pulled right out of a sci-fi novel. It simply refuses to be just another phone, unfolding instead into this huge, tablet-like canvas that practically demands you rethink what it means to carry a screen. The whole thing arrives with a sense of deliberate drama—we're talking two hinges, three panels, and a pretty audacious promise that you can have both pocketability and real productivity, provided you're okay with a few trade-offs.https://www.smartmobilegear.com/news/Galaxy_Z_TriFold_Preview/img/Surrealistic, cinema_red.jpghttps://www.smartmobilegear.com/article/Galaxy_Z_TriFold_Preview
Digital sovereignty, law enforcement needs, and the future of encrypted calls
SmartMobileGearApple’s FaceTime Cut Off in RussiaRussia’s actions to block Apple’s FaceTime has sent ripples through technology, policy and even everyday life — reaching across users, businesses and digital-rights groups. The motion illustrates a broader tension between the security demands of the state and the privacy safeguards embedded in modern communication technologies. For some people, FaceTime is one of the routine ways to stay in touch with family, co-workers and service providers; for regulators everywhere, encrypted services can pose investigative challenges. The skirmish is both technical and political — with implications that reach far beyond a single app.https://www.smartmobilegear.com/news/russia_restricts_facetime/img/russia_restricted_facetime.jpghttps://www.smartmobilegear.com/article/russia_restricts_facetime

Much anticipated new devices are out of reach
SmartMobileGearSmartphone Prices: Sticker Shock and Pocket ChangeI’m reminded of a thought I had about smartphones being too expensive. The high-end features are typically trivial and the true price is hidden by carrier subsidies, but I think everyone deserves an inexpensive alternative. Unbundling features would certainly be something manufacturers should consider, to offer more options. There’s also a role for regulation here, to help guide pricing. I would instead emphasize promoting competition, incentivizing modular designs and pushing for greater transparency for trade-ins. I’ll make sure to avoid unnecessary conclusions and keep the advice straightforward. This should be a clear, direct response.https://www.smartmobilegear.com/news/smartphone_price_shock/img/smartphone_prices_article.jpghttps://www.smartmobilegear.com/article/smartphone_price_shock
