Telegram has been turbulent in recent months: slowdowns, links not opening, yet another round of blocking news. But the fact remains — we haven’t stopped reading it. I have over a hundred channels in my subscriptions, and I’ll be honest: half of them I open once a month. But these ten I read every day. There’s tech, retro games, PlayStation deals, and even a bathhouse channel. Grab the list while the links still work.
Sharing my Telegram subscriptions
AppleInsider.ru — Apple News Without the Fluff
I’ll start with the obvious, but it has to be here. Everything happening around Apple appears in our channel within minutes: announcements, rumors, update breakdowns, how-tos, and personal impressions of tech. No ten-paragraph press release retellings — just the essence and a clear takeaway on whether you should update or buy.
I especially recommend turning on notifications. When Apple rolls out another beta or something breaks in the App Store again, you’ll be the first to know.
Telegram Channel About Retro Games and Portable Consoles
Artyom’s channel about gaming handhelds: Anbernic, Retroid, Miyoo, and other Chinese devices that run everything from NES to PSP. Plus reviews, comparisons, and the author’s thoughts on what he’s playing right now.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “I wish I could play Contra right now,” this retro gaming channel will pull you in for a long time. It pulled me in: after one post I went researching how much the RG35XX costs now, and I stopped one step away from ordering.
The audience is over 35 thousand people, and in the comments they actually discuss hardware instead of arguing.
Where to Read Science News on Telegram
Our popular science channel for those who want more than just smartphone news. They write about space, archaeology, and medicine, plus all kinds of weird things about the human body: why your back hurts in the morning, what’s wrong with heartburn, how memory actually works.
The format is simple: a short post, a clear explanation, a link to a deeper analysis. Perfect for reading on the subway and then retelling at dinner as your own.
PlayStation | psprices.com — PS Store Deals
The largest channel in this roundup: over 60 thousand subscribers. The idea is simple — they show you discounted games and tell you exactly how much the price has dropped. PS Store sales, promotions, free giveaways and subscriptions.
It’s more useful than it seems. PS Store prices fluctuate so much that the same game can cost either 4,000 rubles or 700. You just scroll through the feed and grab what you’ve wanted for a long time when the price drops. They have separate channels for Nintendo and Xbox, plus their own chat for purchase help and region questions.
Android News on Telegram: AndroidInsider.ru
Yes, we’re about Apple. But pretending Android doesn’t exist is a poor strategy. Most of us have someone in the family with a Samsung or Xiaomi, and half the interesting features appear there first and only then make it to iPhone.
Our Android channel is run the same way as AppleInsider: no fanaticism and no platform wars. News, tests, apps, breakdowns of One UI and HyperOS updates. Plus it’s a great way to understand what you’re missing out on. Or conversely, what you’ve happily avoided.
Travel Without the Gloss: Stas Natanzon’s Telegram Channel
Almost 144 thousand subscribers, and it’s well-deserved. Stas travels across the country and the world and shows not glossy hotels but how things actually work: how much it costs, how to get there, where you’ll get ripped off, and whether it’s worth going at all.
What I like is that there’s no constant enthusiasm. If a place is overrated, the author says so directly. The channel has mirrors on other platforms and a YouTube channel, so it won’t be lost even if something happens to Telegram again.
Best AliExpress Products on Telegram
This is my personal channel where I collect things I buy on AliExpress myself: chargers, cables, iPhone and MacBook accessories, various household items, and sometimes something truly odd that somehow turned out to be useful.
The rule is simple: no junk. If something didn’t stick around at home, there won’t be a post about it. I round prices, give direct links, and filter out the nonsense — you won’t see “smart” socks for 200 rubles here.
Telegram Channel About Bathhouse and Bathing Culture
This one is pure personal taste, but let it be here. Small Moscow bathhouses, the channel is tiny — fewer than a thousand subscribers — but cozy: schedules, steam sessions, photos, atmosphere.
Why is this in a Telegram roundup? Because a feed made entirely of Apple news and banking outages burns you out pretty quickly. Sometimes it’s useful to scroll through something completely calm where absolutely nothing happens.
Telegram Channel with Tech News
The format is the same as other news channels, but the delivery is different: short, with irony, and without trying to pose as a serious publication. They write about tech, Telegram, Russian service outages, blocks, and just interesting facts like the one about Bluetooth being named after a Danish Viking king.
It takes a minute to read but sticks better than a long article.
Where to Watch Videos About New Technologies
This channel is entirely run by AI, and this is a case where it turned out pretty well. Boston Dynamics robots on a go-kart engine, the Jetson ONE flying car for $128,000, a laser pointer filmed at two billion frames per second, an automatic egg frying machine from China.
Essentially it’s a feed of short videos about where progress is heading, with captions a couple of lines long. Perfect for evenings when you don’t have the energy to read anymore but still want to scroll.
