If you have an LG TV tucked in the corner of your living room you might want to see if a new app has just been installed. The Korean technology giant has just confirmed that some of its latest screens have now received an upgrade that includes the highly anticipated Xbox app.

Once loaded and launched, this popular platform lets you access a whole swathe of games from developers such as Activision, Bethesda, Blizzard, Mojang, Xbox Game Studios, and more.

The best part is, you don’t need an expensive Xbox console to enjoy a gaming session with everything streamed to the big screen via your broadband instead.

To access this service you’ll just needs an LG TV or select smart monitors running the latest webOS 24 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership which costs £14.99 per month.

If you have both of those then you can jump straihgh into games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to popular titles like Avowed, South of Midnight or eagerly awaited upcoming releases like Towerborne.

Game Pass Ultimate members can also conveniently stream a select catalogue of games they already own, such as NBA 2K25 and Hogwarts Legacy, adding even greater flexibility to their gaming experience.

“LG remains dedicated to delivering the ultimate home entertainment experience with its cutting-edge TVs and top-of-the-class built-in platform, webOS,” LG explained.

“Through its partnership with Xbox and the launch of the Xbox app, LG elevates gaming with the precision of game-changing OLED TVs and the brilliant and vivid action of the latest QNED TVs, including unrivalled gameplay upscaled to 4K for lifelike visuals, while offering a convenient interface on LG Smart TVs to enjoy a vast library of games with cloud gaming.”

The Xbox app is rolling out now and you should find it on the home screen.

Xbox says these are TVs it’s available on which include 2022 OLED TVs, 2023 OLED, QNED, NanoCell and UHD TVs – which have been updated to software version 23.20.01 or higher

This Gaming Portal is available on LG screens in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkiye, UK and USA.

Android fans are getting another new smartphone to choose from and this latest model to arrive in the UK packs quite a punch for its very low price. POCO – which is a sub brand of Chinese firm Xiaomi – has just announced the release of its new M7 Pro 5G which is brimming with premium upgrades – such as 5G data compatibility, a huge battery with fast 45W turbo charging and even 256GB of storage as standard (most phones only get 128GB).

There’s also a speedy 6.67-inch display with super slim bezels and fast 120Hz refresh rate – you don’t even get that on £799 iPhone!

Dual speakers are tucked inside that work with Dolby Atmos plus there’s added boost via Hi-Res Audio. On the rear case is a dual-lens snapper with camera technology powered by the experts at Sony.

POCO boasts that its M7 Pro 5G features an upgraded 50MP rear camera with a large 1/1.95″ Sony IMX882 image sensor that captures up to 29.8 percent more light.

It’s also IP64 dust and water resistant, comes in three vibrant colours and has Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor powering it.

So, how much is this all going to cost you and why should the likes of Google and Samsung be worried?

The POCO M7 Pro 5G starts from a ludicrously low £199 which is £100 cheaper than Samsung’s new Galaxy A26 series and £300 less than the latest Pixel 9a.

That low price includes 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also a 12GB RAM model which is priced at £239.

Of course, some things are missing, such as wireless charging, a triple-lens camera, and smart AI upgrades, but on paper, this device appears to have plenty going for it.

“POCO M7 Pro 5G embodies our commitment to delivering the next-level 5G performance and entertainment experience possible,” says Angus Ng, Head of Product Marketing at POCO Global.

“Its stunning display, powerful Dimensity 7025-Ultra chipset, sleek design, and upgraded camera system, POCO M7 Pro 5G caters to the needs of both casual users and tech enthusiasts.”

If you’ve been thinking about making the jump to Sky Glass then now could be a good time to switch over to this broadband connected TV. Sky has recently refreshed its internet-powered screen – which doesn’t need a dish to work – with it now offering improved 4K visuals, a more simplified set-up and powerful speakers that end the need for a separate soundbar.

As you can read in our full Sky Glass Gen 2 review, this TV is definitely a big improvement over the original and is far easier to recommend, especially as Sky didn’t raise the price in 2025.

The new model already sounds a lot more enticing, but Sky is now offering two more reasons to consider taking the plunge. For a limited time, there’s the option to grab a Glass 2 TV and add Sky Cinema or Sky Sports for a surprisingly low price.
