LG patents a three-piece, two-display foldable screen phone design with no ports

Posted: 10 Aug 2019 04:30 AM PDT

Foldable display smartphones might have been rushed yet again judging by the rocky lifecycle of both the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, neither of which is still available for purchase. Even so, the tech is definitely there and it's mostly a matter of time and refinement at this point. And actually few players have been working on foldable displays longer than LG. This might sound a bit surprising, given that the Korean giant still doesn't have any concrete foldable smartphone offer, but it is a fact that as early as 2014 and even 2013 LG was spearheading the foldable revolution....

Posted: 09 Aug 2019 09:00 PM PDT

Apple has updated the Apple Music app for Android with two new features. The app now includes dark mode, which uses a pitch black background for all the screens, a stark contrast from the otherwise all-white UI of the app. The dark mode can be enabled permanently from the settings or can be set to switch on with your phone's battery saver feature. The update also brings with it time-synced lyrics, which scroll automatically in sync with the song. The lyrics screen has been overhauled entirely now and features large text that cover the entire screen. If these features...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is the world's first tablet with an HDR10+ certified display

Posted: 09 Aug 2019 08:00 PM PDT

Samsung recently announced the Galaxy Tab S6, its latest Android tablet and a true flagship offering at that, boasting the Snapdragon 855 at the helm, unlike its predecessor which for some reason had to make do with the previous year's top SoC. Samsung felt it necessary to omit a rather important detail about the tablet in its initial press materials, namely the fact that its display is HDR10+ certified. Not only that, but this is the first ever tablet to be graced with that honor, so it's even more outstanding of an achievement - and thus apparently worthy of a separate press release sent...

Posted: 09 Aug 2019 01:30 PM PDT

Samsung is changing course with the design of the latest Galaxy Note10 phones that were announced this week. For one, it's "phones" plural this time around with a large and small model. The S Pen is better than ever and the screen on the Galaxy Note10+ is larger than ever.

That's a win in terms of screen-to-body ratio, but we need to talk about the resolution, 1080p+. We got to spend some time with both phones and to our eyes,...

A Geekbench listing has popped up revealing a still unreleased Samsung handset packing an Exynos 7885 chipset under the hood.
