'Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3' rumoured to get 120Hz display, later launch

Unlike the original Samsung Galaxy Z Flip that launched alongside the Galaxy S20 series, its sequel might come out later. It will also bring a 120Hz refresh rate to the foldable market. According to TheElecthe "Galaxy Z Flip 3" will supposedly arrive after the first quarter of next year, which implies that the release date is at least April 1 or later. The Galaxy S21, on the other hand, is expected to debut earlier in the year in January. According to the same report, Samsung will unveil "at least three types of foldables," which will presumably include the Flip 2, Fold 3, and Fold FE.

IceUniverse on Weibo reports that Samsung will reportedly equip the Galaxy Z Flip sequel with the 120Hz display. And it's being called by that name because of the Galaxy Z Flip 5G's late release.

Square Enix will be letting most of its employees work from home permanently starting December 1. The game developer and publisher will assign each worker as either office- or home-based. Both cases require the individuals to work an average of at least three days from their respective locations. 

And if their position allows for it, they can change their assignment monthly. Square Enix expects around 80 percent of its employees will prefer to work from home. Some positions will still require them to work out of one of the company's offices.

'Monster Hunter World: Iceborne' will get 'Monster Hunter' movie content

 

There is some cross-promotion happening between the Capcom game Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and the upcoming Monster Hunter movie. The game will be offering downloadable content based on the film, even as the adaptation doesn't look to be too faithful to it.

The game will let players embark on a two-part event quest that features the Black Diablos and Greater Rathalos, two monsters featured in the film. There will also be special bonus items and a player skin based on Mila Jovovich's character Captain Artemis. The DLC will come to Iceborne on December 4, ahead of the film's premiere in the US on December 25.

If the rumours are true, you might not longer need an emulator to run Android apps on Windows 10 machines. Microsoft is reportedly looking into bringing Android app support via Microsoft Store next year.

It isn't clear how Microsoft will implement this and whether it will support Windows on Arm. But, as Android Authority notes, this move will make sense as most Android apps are created with Arm devices in mind.
