The beleaguered Samsung Galaxy Fold is now available in Canada. With its hefty $2,599 price tag, Samsung's first foldable phone is now available at select Samsung Experience locations in the country. Specifically, the Galaxy Fold can be purchased at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre, CF Sherway Gardens, and Yorkdale Shopping Centre in the Greater Toronto Area; Metropolis at Metrotown in British Columbia; and the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta.

The Galaxy Fold will only be available in Cosmos Black. It comes with a front-facing 4.6-inch screen and a bigger 7.3-inch inner display. When it first launched, the said internal screen faced problems that included everything from debris getting stuck to people being able to detach the protective film.

But the other three—the Pixel 3, 3a, and 2—are all getting the app. The biggest selling point of a pretty straightforward app is that it can transcribe recorded audio.

Sony updates six TVs to add AirPlay 2, HomeKit, Dolby Atmos support

Sony finally brings the long-promised support for AirPlay 2, HomeKit, and Dolby Atmos to six of its 2019 and 2018 lineup. As expected, the update is coming to some of its premium models. These include the 2019 A9G, Z9G, X950G, and the X850G, as well as the 2018 A9F and Z9F. The update wasn't expected to come to the 2018 units, so it's a pleasant addition. 

AirPlay 2 gives Apple device owners the ability to stream content directly to their TVs, while the addition of HomeKit will allow you to turn TVs on or off from their Apple gadgets. For some devices, it even allows you to change inputs and access settings. As for Dolby Atmos, the audio format lets the TV beam audio at the ceiling and bounce these back down to give users some form of surround sound.
