Samsung Galaxy Z Flip to come with outer display

Samsung is reportedly launching its second foldable phone/Motorola Razr competitor during its February 11 Unpacked event. We've been getting more and more details about the device. The latest one shares a lot about the Galaxy Z Flip. 

Leaker Ishan Agrawal shared some details about the displays, camera, and battery of the foldable device. The Galaxy Z Flip will have two screens. The smaller outer screen will reportedly have a 1.05-inch sAMOLED screen called the "Focus Display." Meanwhile, the inner glass display (a first for this type of display) will be a 6.7-inch FHD+ screen with a long 22:9 aspect ratio.

YouTube Music now shows new album and single releases

Admittedly a glaring omission from the start, but thankfully, that has changed. YouTube Music on mobile will now show you all the new album and single releases. There’s a new carousel on the app’s Home feed that will show you all the new music. A new “See all” button will bring you to a new “Albums & singles” page, where you can endlessly scroll to see what’s new and fresh. Previously, the app will only show you the 10 most recent album or single releases when swiping horizontally. YouTube started rolling this feature out earlier this month, but it’s now widely available on both Android and iOS.

Google Podcasts now has an 'Add to playlist' button, but it doesn't seem to work yet

Google seems to have finally responded to complaints of its Podcasts app's users. The app now appears to have an "Add to playlist" button. But there are caveats to it. One, the button doesn't seem to work yet. Two, it doesn't show up for all users at the moment. Android Police speculates that it's tied with the recent beta update of the app, and the feature doesn't seem to be enabled yet. At the very least, we now know that it's on Google's agenda to bring the queueing feature to users. Perhaps it can now go up against the likes of Spotify and Pocket Casts as the podcast app of choice.
