Nintendo debuts new coral colour option for the Switch Lite

Nintendo seems to be tapping into last year's Pantone Colour of the Year (Living Coral) with the new Switch Lite colour. The portable-only console is now available in coral, which joins turqouise, yellow, and grey as options. It'll be coming to Japan on March 20, with pre-orders starting on March 7. The console's release doesn't seem to be affected by the coronavirus outbreak. It will also still be priced at 19,980 yen (around CA$241).

A Samsung Galaxy Z Flip cracks when first flipped

The Motorola Razr isn't the only one facing issues. A buyer of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip found a crack on his unit the first time he flipped the phone. @mondoir on Twitter recounted, "Received my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip just now. Opened the box. Removed the protective/instruction film. Flipped the phone as you would since it's a flip phone and this happened. I heard the crack as well. Cold weather?"

Samsung has replied to his tweet asking for details. It may be cold weather, but remember the Galaxy Fold also had issues when the protective film was taken out. Perhaps, that's the same here. But again, it's disheartening to see these expensive devices easily break. It might be back to the drawing board with foldable gadgets.

Microsoft now has a unified Office app on Android

Microsoft promised, and now it delivered—at least for some users and with a few caveats. Following months of beta tests, there's now a unified Office mobile app showing up for some users on Android. This all-in-one productivity suite will let you edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files within that single app. It'll also allow you to go through OneDrive files, look for real-world documents with Office Lens, and read QR codes. However, the app isn't optimized for tablets or Chromebooks yet. It's not even usable in landscape mode, either. And if you're looking for an iOS equivalent, Microsoft hasn't discussed its plans for the platform yet.
