Wondering which companies have released new smartphones during Mobile World Congress 2022? Due to several launches happening just before the show itself, it has been difficult to keep track, so we've collected the best of them here.
First up, the Oppo Find X5 Pro. Announced a few days before the start of Mobile World Congress 2022, the Oppo Find X5 Pro is one of the top flagship phones at the show. The sequel to the Find X3 Pro (don't go looking for a Find X4, as it doesn't exist), the phone is made from ceramic and metal and has two Sony IMX766 50-megapixel cameras on the back along with a 13MP telephoto camera ... |

Any kid that ever watched Rocky growing up has thought about stepping into the ring at some point or another, but I never took that plunge — and since most gyms are still not operating at full capacity, the best cardio workout I've had in two years was a game of tennis. Enter Liteboxer VR.
Liteboxer is a company I'm familiar with; in fact, we reviewed the original Liteboxer here at Digital Trends a while back. The device combines music with boxing, asking the user to punch targets as they light up in rhythm with the music. The downside is that it's on the bulky side and needs to be attached to the wall. The idea of Liteboxer VR is that the same experience can be delivered without modifying your home in any way — all you have to do is strap on a virtual reality headset and you can use Liteboxer in a virtual space.
I've worked out in virtual reality before (mastering a song in Hard mode in Beat Saber will have you sweating). I've never used a dedicated workout app, though. The too-perky, upbeat trainers always annoy me more than motivate me. But after Liteboxer sent over an Oculus Quest 2 headset for me to test the workout for myself, I wanted to give it a shot.
It was awesome. And it thoroughly kicked my butt ... |

TIPS, TRICKS, & TECHNIQUES |
FromSoft did everything right with Elden Ring, which includes carrying fan-favorite weapons over from previous Dark Souls games. So, if you're wondering if the Claymore is in Elden Ring, you're in luck! With a little bit of exploration, you'll find this famous greatsword on the southernmost tip of the Lands Between. Whether you're an experienced Souls player or a newcomer to the series, you can always rely on the Claymore as an accessible weapon for most builds.
Those playing a more melee-focused role should have the stats to wield it, even early on. In general, mages, sorcerers, and magic-centered builds can still use the Claymore with only minor investments in strength and dexterity. After all, you'll run out of FP eventually. Here's where to find the Claymore in Elden Ring, the stats required to wield it, and some helpful tips and tricks for pairing it with other weapons and Ashes of War ... |
