Samsung is reportedly not stopping at just the Galaxy Fold. A new report from Bloomberg claims Samsung plans to release two other foldable devices. One wraps around the outside of the device, similar to the Huawei Mate X. Meanwhile, the other is going to be oriented vertically in a clamshell style phone with a smaller external display, which is similar to the potential design of the upcoming foldable Motorola RAZR from Lenovo. We can supposedly expect the clamshell one around late 2019 or early 2020, while the Mate X-style one is expected to follow.

We’re expecting to see the Galaxy Fold next month. Samsung is said to be working on the durability of the screen, particularly the visible crease that can be seen. One person told Bloomberg the company is considering providing free screen replacements for the device.

Version 10 of the app started rolling out a few weeks ago, but this seems to be the first time the dark mode has been announced. Android users can access the feature through the Appearance section of the Settings option. Tap on the More option at the bottom right of the app.

LG will roll out AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support to its TVs starting ‘mid-year’ 2019

There’s a catch to that, though. LG is limiting the addition of AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support to its 2019 TVs. The functionalities are expected to land “mid-year” this 2019. Owners of these TVs are also expected to get a firmware update that will add Amazon Alexa support on top of the Google Assistant support that these televisions come with. LG hasn’t announced any plans yet of possibly bringing the tech to its slightly older TVs. For now, the LG models that will support AirPlay 2 include LG OLED (2019), LG NanoCell SM9X and SM8X (2019), and LG UHD UM7X series (2019).

The Game of Thrones final season trailer is out

It has been a while since we've visited Westeros as various factions have waited for winter to come. Well, winter is here and so is the final season of Game of Thrones which comes to HBO on April 14. The reason it took so long for us to get this final season is that each episode is like a big budget movie with various critical scenes, battles and, inevitably, deaths. Are you ready for what's coming?
