    Xiaomi’s SU7 Ultra is launching outside China... in Gran Turismo.

    It’s the closest we’re likely to get to a global release for Xiaomi’s souped up EV, which last year set a record lap time for a four-door car at the Nürburgring, albeit using a stripped-out prototype to do so. There’s no release date just yet for the car’s addition to Gran Turismo 7 though.

    Samsung leaks its own foldable names.

    And no, they’re not exactly surprising. But even so, a Galaxy Store listing for “Samsung Internet Browser for Fold7 and Flip7,” spotted by GalaxyClub, does give the game away a little, especially since we’re not expecting the new phones to launch for at least a month.

    Of course, that doesn’t preclude extra versions, like the Fold Ultra Samsung teased just this week, or its rumored cheaper Flip FE.

    SteelSeries launches new budget wireless cans.

    The $109.99 Arctis Nova 3 Wireless is now the company’s cheapest wireless headset. It supports every console, and basically anything else with a USB-C port, and has impressive fast-charging: 15 minutes plugged in gets you nine hours of game time. Like last year’s GameBuds it also supports the Arctis mobile app, with over 200 EQ presets for specific games.

    Nothing’s first flagship is a month away.

    We knew the Phone 3 was launching in July, but now we know exactly when: 1PM ET on July 1st, which is about as early in the month as we could have hoped for. Not long to wait now for what the company considers its first true flagship.

    Google wants to settle with shareholders worried about antitrust.

    The Financial Times reports that parent company Alphabet has proposed to spend $500 million over 10 years altering its compliance structure, in a bid to satisfy shareholders who’d sued over the company’s repeated exposure to antitrust investigations. A judge still needs to approve the settlement, which would see Google establish a new regulatory committee within its executive board among other changes.
